The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If you can't summarize your point, don't post the youtube from a known person who has gone off the deep end.

Look, when I got the Astrazeneca shots in the PI, I knew about the blood clots and just how rare they were. I also knew they occurred in women more frequently than men. I told my wife and she wangled a way to get Moderna shots through a relative on the island next to us. I was happy. My approach was very different than yours. We were in a pandemic so I cut out all the BS and only read or listened to good sources. I didn't argue at all with people who believed bunk on expat boards- that was their mistake.

But we knew early on that Astrazeneca had blood clot problems. Ivermectin was being touted as not only a remedy for Covid, but that it would help prevent it. That is still not true. The problem was that some people got antsy bordering on hysterical and overdosed on Ivermectin when a Covid wave came through. So they clogged up the hospital system with their overdosed bodies. Now do you get it? Do you know what triage means? We did that during the pandemic. We didn't need to devote Hospital space to Ivermectin hysteria during a wave of Covid.
