@OlearyLookAlike said some horrible things about people in the house and outside. @UCFBS wrote a term paper each day on how evil vaccines are and wanted to self-evict. It's now you're turn to decide who gets to stay for a chance at zero dollars and who is sent packing.
Last offseason we had a thread where we could discuss our unpopular opinions regarding our alma mater. One more football season has been in the books so I figure we can do this all over again.
Kenton "KJ" Kirkland, one of UCF's top secondary targets, was among the recruits who visited recently for Hometown Hero.
The Jacksonville (Fla.) Raines star is the brother of UCF track athlete Kai'lyn Kirkland.
"I came to the UConn game and my sister goes here as well so it's easier to get over here and talk to the coaches," Kirkland said. (Hometown Hero) was getting closer to the coaches. My position coach, Coach Addison (Williams), we sat down and talked. We talked about personal relationships, just how to be better as a man on and off the field. He said everything I needed to hear. It was a great overall experience."
The relationship with Coach Williams has been developing over the last several months.
"We talk on the phone, he came to the school and we talk in person," Kirkland. "That's what stood out to me the most. Some colleges recruit you over the phone, tell you you're their guy, but when you see them in person it's like they don't even know you. There were a lot of people here, and Coach Addison was still making sure he was talking to me out of everybody else. That means a lot to me and my family."
Favorite part about the day?
"The most fun part was probably playing dodgeball," Kirkland said. "But really just talking with Coach Addison. That meant the most for me coming here."
What stands out about UCF?
"It's actually close to home," Kirkland said. "My sister goes to UCF. She tells me a lot of good things about the school. I asked other players about how they feel and they say the support system is probably the strongest thing here. That's one thing I'm looking for. If you've got a good support system, I'm not sure why you wouldn't come here."
Kirkland also took notice of UCF's recent win against Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl.
"As soon as I walked in, they had the Florida game playing on replay," he said.
UCF, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Florida State, Kentucky, Ole Miss, LSU, Nebraska, Michigan and Cincinnati are among the schools that have offered.
The 6-foot-2 Kirkland is being recruited by most schools to play corner.
"(My strengths that I hear from coaches are) my length, my speed, ability to win off press and ball skills," Kirkland said. "But I like when coaches don't just tell me the things I'm good at, but the things I need to work on. I'm working on my change of direction, which is one of the things that's a weak area. If I get that together that will set me apart from other DBs. There's not too many 6-2 DBs with speed, maybe a select few and I want to be the best of that select few."
Kirkland says he'll probably return to UCF for spring practice, or maybe even earlier if they're down to visit his sister on a weekend. He also visited Florida State and Georgia during the month of January. No favorites yet.
"It's too early to decide," Kirkland said. "I'm just waiting on whichever school fits me the best... Wherever I feel the most at home and have the best relationship with the coaches, that's where I'll go."
When might a decision come?
"Whenever I get that gut feeling, that's when I'll be ready to commit," Kirkland said. "But I don't have a set time right now."
So I sold some tickets for the UH game last week. I recieved an email from ticketmaster saying they cant deposit the $$$ into my account without a TIN/SSN number. I'm not really comfortable giving my ssn to ticketmaster. Anyone else run into this?
Not only does their team totally suck, but this piece of "artwork" (?) is just 🤮 🤮 🤮 (spotted at HomeGoods in Clearwater a few days ago). If memory serves it was marked down from $15.99 to $10, or something like that.
I'm forking this, because this is really a thread that is going to last the 2020s. I started writing something here, in the 'Natural Immunity' thread, but ... this isn't even about 'Natural Immunity' any more.
Group 1: Vocal Majority - Certainty and Mandates For All
These people have claimed everything is known since 2021 Spring, that the Pandemic is of the unvaccinated, the unvaccinated are to blame for everything, Pharma must be listened to, has no ulterior motives in only providing mRNA over traditional vaccines, that only new drugs will work, and that there are no issues with the advisement out of the CDC or FDA and any changes have due to changes in the science. They also believe mandates are the only way to end the pandemic. Everything else must be outlawed, and no doctors should be allowed to do anything... even if legal, and commonly tried in 20%+ cases of other infections and disease, which is actually how we find out a lot and long-term cures in combination.
Group 2: Vocal Minority - Let Individual Doctors Decide, Not All Vaccines or Medicines Are the Same
The people who have repeatedly pointed out we're utterly ignorant of Coronaviruses (CoV) in general, and while we weren't against the FDA and EMA approving mRNA and even re-vax'ing the elderly.... we've been concerned the younger we go because - as even the now published FDA and EMA documentation shows, the risk was worth it the older we go, but... with more of their lifespan left, the more risk to them, especially has the FDA expert panels have been ignored or bypassed, and definitely as the FDA's own, top experts have repeated there was no data showing any benefit for the general population to be re-vaxed, and even openly complained about the lack of clinical data on children. The FDA has also backed off its claim Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (it is), and expert panels are taking real issue with some of the 'repurposed, but still under patents' drugs that failed against the flu, and are known to be less-than-safe. And the science hasn't changed, the politics has... on everything from masks to how effective natural immunity always has been.
Group 3: Silent Majority that believed #1 more initially, but now realize #2 had a point that the science hasn't changed.. we've just censored the experts, until more recently.
More and more people realize this is not only turning more into something like Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, but the same experts that were right about them, have been right about SARS-CoV-2 and Pharma from the get-go ...
Follow the money.
We are becoming a complete oligarchy with expanded statism, and the proof is in that we refuse to manufacture a traditional vaccine for our kids, and are mandating things most western countries will not, because our country refuses to follow the science on.
And that's what really is scaring more and more Americans...
People are actually defending oligarchy-statism over individual freedom, even when no data supports the populace benefit, and we've done everything to censor those who are arguing with that actual data! Even our own, top experts at the FDA!
That's everything wrong with this country right now!
The Growing, Vocal Minority Now the Majority of Experts
A lot of experts at various journals predicted this by late 2020 and early 2021, as well as the fact that SARS-CoV-2 was too global not to go endemic, especially with the quite limited vaccine vectors being used. Many warned, even the US NIH as early as mid-2020 when ten (10) vaccines were heading towards various FDA, EMA and other EUA approvals, that none of them would be a pancea, and weren't designed to stop the spread. So it's time we all really admit ...
We really won't understand the SARS-CoV-2 virus, its variants and the strategy to attack COVID-19, until later this decade.
Experimenting With Combinational Protocols Will Be Key
This is why, while I don't agree with a select few that Ivermectin is a pancea, and I'm not for overdosing with it ... I'm also not against the FLCCC and others on their 'protocols.' Why? Because no one really understands what is working, no different than during HIV/AIDS, and even back then, Ivermectin was proven to be an anti-viral. I don't think it's a particularlly strong anti-viral, and definitely not in FDA-approved doses.
But considering not only are retrovirals not working against any CoV, but it took a good decade to figure out not only retrovials, like AZT, to combat HIV/AIDS, but what 'protocols' and combinations to use to improve conditions ... we have to experiment with proven safe drugs and, more importantly, combinations. It's just reality. Re-purposing failed flu and other drugs are just about the patents, just like why we only have mRNA vectors, instead of proven, tradtional ones.
FLCCC as an Example of Real Progress Mislabeled 'Misinformation'
Which brings me back to things like the FLCCC and individual doctors. What the FLCCC is not saying is that Ivermectin is the cure. What the FLCCC is saying, in their protocols, is ... "These are all the proven safe medicines and supplements we know that are actually improving conditions. Over time we'll figure out what is better, and what was superfluous. Because right now, no one knows what really works for sure, but our protocol does so far."
Just like with AZT. It wasn't AZT alone. It sucked. But it was with other compounds in a specific protocol, that it did. And far better than the horde of patent-protected, attempted HIV vaccines or HIV-specific medicines introduced.
Like Theranos/Holmes, We Have To Call Out Conflicts-of-Interest, And Not Censor!
This is why we have countless 'Open Letters' signed by tens of thousands of doctors saying ... it needs to go back to individual doctors. I cannot stress how bad the CDC and, sadly, the FDA management (not experts, most who have fled or just been bypassed) have misled everyone, and this 'certainty' that the current mRNA vaccines vectors were a pancea, when, as predicted by many of our top experts, were never going to be.
We've had traditional, proven far safer vaccines for children, and we refuse to make them available. This is our future too. And it scares me.
The US FDA Is Finally Focusing on Max Safety, not Max Effectiveness
Heck, even now, the FDA moving to recommend 8 weeks between doses for 2-doze mRNA vaccines. Why? Even though it's not as effective than 3 weeks between, it's much safer. And that tells you right there ... the risk-reward isn't so 'absolute,' especially the younger we go.
We're finally more focused on 'safer' than allegedly 'more effective.'
Tiny track. But with declining fans they are trying to get urban fans. Stopped race for Icecube concert. Winner gets 2 million and they stop it for a concert.
