Okay Free Republic has been the best place for libertarian and conservative ideas for decades. And truly my place to post and view comments.
X is more evolved and many also love that forum. Any suggestions that could keep FR relevant. It seems it will be a 'dinosaur' of the 90's if nothing changes.
To be clear - FR is truly the best website. Simply stating it may be gone soon - 'can't fence time and change'.
No he sold out what... 10 or 15 years ago. Probably on an island in Tahiti
This was a remarkable place. Scientists physicists airline pilots politicians business people some pretty high up on food chain sorts.
>>>Funny. I think the same about the antivax kooks who worked tirelessly to saturate the site with their ignorance. The Daily Expose as the font of medical knowledge. That worked great on those who know nothing about cell biology and protein synthesis and junk like that.<<<
Agree wholeheartedly. It’s so sad that their ridiculous Q-derived claims of nonsense like snake venom, itty bitty razor blades, worms, nano octopuses, etc., in the vaccines drowned out the very *real concerns* regarding the Biden Administration’s disastrous Covid policy (including valid questions and problems re claims about the vaccines). Very sad indeed.
I think that Free Republic needs more RINOS and democrats....
(being very sarcastic!)
As you know there is no way to post pictures directly to this site. So if you want to easily post a pic - use an html editor.
If you don't want to post a picture then don't. But I use an html editor to quickly and easily post a picture.
Not only picture, but easily use italics.
Or bold font.
All without using the time consuming html commands.
Yesi know you have normalized that for yourself. However. To have a vi errant growing site fr would have to modernize the process
“Would be more accurate if the covid injections were actually vaccines.”
So do tell us what you think “actual vaccines” are and how Covid shots don’t measure up to the drSteve78 definition.
In the medical world, vaccines train the immune system to generate antibodies against an antigen target.
After that it’s up to your immune system to do the heavy lifting.
In the case of 1st generation Covid shots the targeted antigen was the spike protein of the archaic virus.
It was easy enough to see that those shots provoked production of antibodies to the archaic spike. And within a year of the widespread release of the shots the archaic virus ceased to circulate.
Now to most of the world that not only means that the Covid shots were “actual vaccines” but that they were highly effective actual vaccines.
That would have been the end of Covid had there been no variants with spike proteins different than the archaic virus.
But there were, the Omicron family being the most successful at evading 1st generation antibodies.
So feel free to share drSteve78 wisdom on actual vaccines and why the Covid shots fail to pass your test, whatever that might be.
I remember Rathergate and FL in 2000 election. Both were here, ground zero as they played out.
The internet is now very much the public scare, plenty of places to say your piece. I still FR and check it pretty much every day.
“There are indications that more conservatives died from covid than non-conservatives”
I’ve seen that same claim although I’m not sure how it could be measured.
It does seem like conservatives were especially inundated by antivax porn, and often still are, but whether it’s from the outside or by our own kooks isn’t clear.
If the same fear mongering had been going on back in the 1950s conservatives would be identified by the withered limbs and iron lungs.
Oh I agree. After 25 years of the same old same old - we all would like to see FR brought into the 21st century.
Ain’t happenin though.
Sadly no. And that will be its demise.
Perhaps it could be salvaged as a chat room.
I understand now what you meant, and I myself try to link to direct sources. Meanwhile, needing to copy and paste takes more time for the reader, but with all the ads on sites then it is warranted, though as said, few vids warrant seeing.
As part of the increasing superficiality of the West, forums as this - successors to the message boards of old - which enable long-term, consolidated conversations (and where else can you click on a link to post # 10,000 and immediately go there?), which can be saved as html, linked to, and substantiate, educate, are becoming a relic of the previous internet era.
The mRNA Covid injections stimulate no T cell or B cells, stimulating no antibody response, and does not reduce shedding of virus once a body is infected. The injections cause a response of a spike protein increase which interferes with viral replication. Gene therapy, yes. Vaccine, no, not until the definition of vaccine was altered, much like altering a normal immune system.
Jabbed equals GMO. I am jabbed, and i am GMO and enduring the consequences.
That’s an impressive litany of nonsense.
Imagine if you had studied biology and knew that mRNA can’t alter genes.
@ 64 if I could ‘like’ this post, I would.
@ 72 LOL! cheers FRiend
that mRNA can’t alter genes.
True, the euphemism of Gene Therapy definition is that a living system is altered to interfere with a (replication) process of an antigen, whether insect, fungal, viral.
So, it’s not a strictly accurate definition of the process; like the altered definition of vaccine…🤷🤷♀️🤷♂️
