It's the only way to go. Aliens! ** -- Brown Water 01/20/2022 1:02PM

This has been known since at least last summer, CDC acknowledged it (link) -- WestyHokie 01/20/2022 11:18AM

In other words, it's an impossible situation with no safe outcome. -- PhotoHokieNC 01/20/2022 11:40AM

Sorry but that makes very little sense ... -- vt90 01/20/2022 11:25AM

It’s almost as if the body’s defenses did what they’re supposed to do….. ** -- BobG 01/20/2022 11:01AM

Well, this is what annoys me -- `lag 01/20/2022 10:56AM

It’s all because $$$. ** -- BobG 01/20/2022 11:02AM

I remember story after story telling us the exact opposite. -- EDGEMAN 01/20/2022 10:23AM

You just described regulatory capture. ** -- mancunian 01/20/2022 11:17AM

That pretty much describes the last 2 years ** -- Vienna_Hokie 01/20/2022 11:42AM

Seems that every day another pillar of the undebatable "science" crumbles -- Vienna_Hokie 01/20/2022 11:14AM

I've made this argument since the start with my wife (HS Biology teacher), -- HortHokie 01/20/2022 10:51AM

In defense of the CDC... and that is really hard to do -- turkeywinghokie 01/20/2022 10:10AM

Not smarter than anyone else? -- Pylons 01/20/2022 11:52AM

Of course...but you can't deny that the CDC needs to step up their game. -- Vtskier1 01/20/2022 1:21PM
