Concerning mercenary benefits, of course not. They were not, at least to my knowledge, soldiers. My brother in law, while working as a contract truck driver for Haliburton about 15 years ago, had his head half blown off by an IED. His salary was paid out at 100% until he passed away some 12 years later. All medical bills were paid as well. I have no idea if that was common. I do know it was appreciated.

Do you really believe that masks work? After 1 1/2 years of this hysteria, do what makes you feel good. Most mask wearers don’t use them properly or have the right kind. It’s there like having someone hold your hand?

A question for you to research is why are they using ventilators for protocol of covid when it was observed they flooded the lungs with more fluid. Steroids and antibiotics saved many more lives.

These budget busting city councilmembers are spending on all their pet projects. When the city of Boise passed their budget it was pure ecstasy from the city council members. Too funny to watch.
What is going on with the BPD under Ryan Lee? He needs to schedule a town hall. The problem is he is basically of average intelligence and has the emotional intelligence of a kindergartner. I don’t see this going well. Boy can Lauren pick them. But he does KA her.

What are we thinking about?
Biden’s ban of Russian ammo is a direct attack on Americans.
Biden’s colossal failure in Afghanistan left ten thousand Americans behind enemy lines – who are last on the list after importing tens of thousands of Muslims who will form a voting block that elects more anti-semitists like Omar and Tlaib.
Biden’s deficit pork barrel spending is creating double digit inflation (real, not the fake CPI-U).
Biden’s attacks on pipelines have more than doubled the price of gasoline.
Portland police gave up because they aren’t allowed to do their jobs, so brownshirt blantifa are in open street battles with patriots. Just like pre-WWII Germany.
Where’s the beef? Monopoly slaughterhouses are the choke point.
People are “tired” of the pandemic so ignoring it… read up on the 1919 Philadelphia parade. BTW, masks and vaccines work… people push back because it’s the only thing that they feel like they have power over. Voting obviously doesn’t work.
Why are we wasting 80% of our water on “save the smelt” when hatcheries fully stock salmon every year? 100% of water needs allocated to personal use and farming.
Except for Marxist McLean, most of Idaho is good. Camping has been great.

So has the liability shield for Pfizer-BioNTech been removed for its’ now FDA fully approved COVID-19 (Wuhan Flu) vaccine Comirnaty?

A history professor taught us that it is impossible to invade & occupy China. The numbers are so overwhelming that within a generation the invaders have been assimilated and become Chinese. Pretty much the same in the SEC, isn’t it? Bryan Harsin wasn’t hired at $5 million to swim upstream and change the culture. Auburn isn’t looking for a socio/political activist, just for a dozen wins each season.

leaving Afghanistan was inevitable. Just as the South Vietnamese army collapsed after our exit, it should have been expected for the Afghanistan army. Afghanistan is ripe with corruption. It did not have a government supported by the people, but one propped up by a foreign power. Would you choose to risk life and family under those circumstances? Afghanistan people need to choose their own destiny. As far as the military equipment left behind, it was meant for the Afghanistan Army. The fact that the Army folded and the equipment fell into the Taliban’s hands should have been considered years ago during the Trump administration when the pull out was negotiated. Afghanistan is landlocked and it takes time and a lot of effort to supply or too move the equipment out.

Apparently, not much.

Covid is still the number one problem. Businesses are learning that the number of vaccinated people is increasing, and they are beginning to opt in to requiring it. Got polio? Nope, you’re vaccinated.

The other headline is that inflation is killing the community especially with regard to housing. The taxing formula needs to be changed, as homes that are not sold should not be paying the same bill as the home that was just built or rehabbed. The home that has not sold is depreciated, and that needs to be taken into account. Flippers are flippin’ the whole community off, and the elected play along.

Concerned Neighbor.. I would appreciate a source on “80% of our water to save the smelt”

When the link of DEATH TOLL then says:

And then the datum of killed contractors is used in the text of this post (by a former journalist)……… Does a link and the related information count as copyright infringement?

EDITOR NOTE–The link is no different than providing a phone number or address. The site provides the info.

Dr. Hobo, please Google these three words “ college dead covid”. Then write back how you have changed your medical expertise.

PD: I will accept the insult for what I think it is worth. What is dumb is the ignorant, ad hominem response to an honest observation. There is no apparent compliance with the activity alleged in the article you link. Thus my question.

mRNA vaccines have been in the works for 35 years.

35 years of Medical SCIENTIFIC research.

I’ll guess most old readers here, would be happy with 5 years of research for new heart replacement research, or some new recent experimental Alzheimer’s research. “Sure, dose me up, Doc!”
.
It is unfortunate so many people have allowed this issue to be political instead of scientific.

Let’s get higher numbers of ‘the jab’ and get past this disaster. Think “1941” and take one for our country.

Easterner, GregN, you’re both correct.

The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines were the first mRNA vaccines to receive Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA and the Pfizer vaccine was the first to be fully-approved. No other mRNA vaccine has received FDA approval to date.

But mRNA technology in medicine is established and well understood. Apart from general skepticism of new medical interventions (which I’m not disparaging) there do not appear to be significant affirmative evidence that the technology is unsafe or should be tested further.

Thanks Boise Lawyer.
Yep there is it- links showing full approval for mRNA- Maybe GregN has been camping for the last 3 weeks.
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/08/23/1030251410/pfizer-covid-vaccine-fda-approval

Buried on page 2 footnote 8 of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine EUA LOA reissued August 23 2021 document ( https://www.fda.gov/media/150386/download) –
“8 The licensed vaccine has the same formulation as the EUA-authorized vaccine and the products can be used
interchangeably to provide the vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. The products are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness.”

Hmmmm! I wonder what those legal differences between the EUA and fully blessed vaccines be?

When Biden proclaimed this full approval why didn’t he also say whether or not the protection against lawsuits given Pfizer-BioNTech would now be lifted.

I think I’ve hit upon why Boise Mayors (last one and this one) and City Council think we need more housing within the city limits (forget that we are a regional economy):

votes. They want young, urbane, voters to counteract the unwashed hordes of Republicans in West Boise (still in the city limits). Remember, politicians will do anything to stay in office.

And the trashy folk who remain in Boise don’t vote Demo., but these ghetto-like neighborhoods should be cleaned up.

No, Comirnaty (the FDA approved Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine) is immune to any and all lawsuits. Read it here – https://www.vaccinewars.com/2021-09-01-lawyers-pfizer-immune-suit-despite-vaccine-approval.html
