No, it makes the news every time it occurs.

Because the best defense is a good offense.
This philosophy goes back at least a few thousand years.
Sun Tzu said not to rely on the likelihood of your enemy not attacking. Rather, you should make your position unassailable.
MAD is partially tied to this kind of thinking as well. And MAD is widely credited for why the Cold War never erupted into a hot war.
If victory isn't achievable because your enemy is too strong, rational actors will avoid war.
Edit: Reagan called it "peace through strength." It has had a lot of adherents over the centuries because it works.

While pregnancy tests can detect HCG as early as 10 days after conception, they're not really accurate until a missed period. Considering the timer doesn't actually start at conception but instead at your last period, a missed period is usually right at 6 weeks, if you're lucky.
My daughter used to have a period -- maybe once every 6 months.
She was told by a doctor she was incapable of getting pregnant.
SURPRISE! She was almost 5 months pregnant before she new she was.
I hope the situation helped you to understand the failures of the medical profession.
She had/has a condition.
We lucked out with a miracle baby -- all of 3 pounds -- but he made it.

Every graph you posted shows a drop after the media and democrats threw this country into a state of panic, and you STILL don't understand why...
SMH
Sure, COVID-19 had an effect. The point is that before that drop, Trump's performance on several indicators (that he boasted about), was fairly average.
Everything was more affordable and the tax cuts we got also affected businesses (not sure why people screamed about that), and we were all given big bonuses. Things were going real good, at least for the middle class. Now we're working overtime just to enjoy a few good things every now and then.
That is because Trump was paying for everything on credit.
It's always great until the repayments bill arrives.

Awesome to hear! I have friends who had challenges with children that didn't end as well. Last week an 8 year old who had M. Dystrophy passed away. Grandma left such a touching message that I cried pretty hard. I let them know I was thinking about them. I can tell you care for yours too. We do have some common ground.

Wow, you’re about as willfully ignorant as they come. I’ve seen the ads for a couple of those meds and had to laugh, particularly these two” Paxlovid” and “ Veklury (remdesivir)” they screamed scam since they’re under patent and ivermectin isn’t and available in generic form.
Do you know how that works when it comes to big pharm’s profits? Nothing more than big pharm scaring more people out of their money. Labeling it with a “vid” at the end should make it sound official.🙄 Do you even know what’s in those meds?
almost ineffective against COVID-19
Really??? “Almost ineffective”? Pathetic argument you got going there.
Hate to tell you but there were way more than three drs that found benefits in ivermectin. Funny how you complain about people cherry pick’n info when that’s all you do.
No, it makes the news every time it occurs.
That’s a big fat lie, are you seriously this brainwashed? They’re doing EVERYTHING they can to suppress that info from coming out. If you don’t know this then you’re not paying the slightest bit of attention and probably shouldn’t bother speaking on the subject. Sorry but the truth and facts goes against your narrative there buddy.
Tell me what’s the difference between a vaccine and a vaccine “booster”? You’ve had enough of them, you should know this or do you need to google that too?
I had a vaccine when I was a kid, never needed a booster, nope. Crazy that you’ve volunteered to be their lab rat, you are the test of their experimental vaccine and boosters. Good luck with your vax and all them boosters you let them pump in your body, you might need it.
My last post to you, don’t want to derail the thread any further.

Unless you can make bank like Trump, YEP. But you meant he was incapable I know... carry on all you who hate the truth like this unit here and see how that works in the end.

" At $250,000 and $814,600 per person for the reception and dinner at Paulson’s $110 million oceanfront home. "
I heard they Served Twinkies for Dessert . The Biden Economy you know........
Being sensitive to how people hear things doesn’t mean letting Trump tell lies about Biden’s record and then hemming and hawing in its defense. Trump inherited a good economy and didn’t screw it up—until a crisis hit that he was completely unprepared for and lied about constantly and refused to take responsibility for. Biden inherited a horrible economy, got us out of that crisis, suffered through a price crisis that also affected the rest of the developed world, but is now presiding over the greatest monthly job growth in history (yes, at 289,000 a month) and is keeping his core campaign promise of shifting wealth from the top to the middle and the bottom. Why is it so hard to tell that story, Democrats?
