Thanks, I was waiting for the grammar Nazis to find something to complain about, that usually happens when they don't have a leg to stand on.

Show me in my posts ONE example that would not lead some to be skeptical. The simple truth is, there are a ton of reasons to be skeptical, I know it and you know it. You are just to egocentric to admit it. Unfortunately for you, I'm not intimidated by your arrogance. 
Is there reason for people to be skeptical of the vaccine? A simple Yes or  No will suffice.
Go ahead Mr. Attorney, answer the question. 

Didn't expect much of a rebuttal, that tends to happen when faced with facts. 

UVAObserver has spoken, let it be so!
Absolutley, it is entirely impossible that a drug or treatment could be effective for something other than it's original intent. This has never happened in medicine, NEVER, Correct?
 
Ivermectin, for whatever reason has shown to prevent an INCREASE in covid symptoms. It has also show to prevent covid from interfering with innate immunity. It has also shown  to help decrease inflammation in the body as a result of excessive immune reaction to the virus. 
No parasites, no tape worms, were killed during the typing of this post, yet, Ivermectin, a drug designed to eliminate parasites has shown to be effective. 

Because it would go against the spoon fed narrative. It does not matter if it helps anyone, the "science is settled," on all things, because Fauci said so.

The AMA is incredibly politicized as are other agencies of government. The same AMA recently argued for patient/doctor privacy in response to the recent 6 week abortion law in Texas, while simultaneously, objecting to patient/doctor privacy regarding the prescription of Ivermectin. These type of inconsistencies lead people to distrust these agencies and organizations. I personally take a libertarian approach and side with the idea that the patient and the doctor should have privacy and that the doctor should know what is best for the patient, not the government or some agency of government.

I simply stated the myriad of reasons that people are skeptical of vaccinations, of which, you failed to disprove any. The sad reality is, I am not hand picking irrelevant data, inconsistencies have been the norm since day one and it is these inconsistencies from "authorities," that have led to many not receiving the vaccination. Unfortunately, for some reason this triggered you and others to get all defensive, are you suggesting that what I am saying about some people is not true? Are you suggesting that there have been no inconsistencies?
The simple truth of the matter is, the continuous back and forth, inconsistencies, double standards, disregard of data, accompanied with the supposition that science is an authority have led many to be skeptical. They are as equally entitled to their opinions as others. I personally, along with my family, have all been vaccinated. However, to suggest that skepticism is not warranted is grossly ignorant. It is OK to admit that many people are skeptical and that their skepticism is the reason that they are not getting vaccinated, admitting this does not somehow mean that you endorse or love Donald Trump. Being skeptical does not mean that one has a greater disregard for human life nor does it imply that they care less for their fellow man as you imply.
I made an objective observation and the Gestapo is now out in full force, go for it, I am not afraid of Fascist. The simple truth is, the "authorities," ie (CDC, Fauci, AMA, NIH, etc.) have undermined the public trust, this fact has nothing to do with your support for or against the various vaccine options. I am simply stating a fact. 
Consider these contradictions. (I personally can attribute many of these to government attempts to just do something pro-active, however, some will not see them that way and therefore have become skeptical)
You can attend a wedding with strangers but are only allowed to have 7 friends over for a party.
You can send your kids to school on a bus, but you should avoid taking public transportation.
You can watch a football game in a bar full of patrons but cannot observe from the bleachers or sidelines, even though you are outdoors.
Players must be separated by 6 feet on the sidelines and wear a mask but are permitted to sweat and have contact on the gym floor and that is acceptable. 
You must wear a mask when entering a restaurant, but can remove said mask after being seated. 
Students who are not vaccinated are dis-enrolled from Universities but 70,000 fans are allowed to sit on top of each other during a football game. While admitting that BOTH vaxxed and unvaxxed can spread Covid.
The vaccinated can transmit Covid, the unvaccinated can transmit covid, but the unvaccinated are bad, inconsiderate people, why? Because they can transmit covid! 
 
Fauci FLIP FLOPS
In late January 2020, Fauci said that COVID was a ‘very, very low risk to the United States,’"
Dr. Fauci originally said that masks weren’t effective & publicly encouraged Americans not to buy them (guidance he doesn’t regret). Now even vaccinated people need to wear masks
I wonder which science should we follow?
Fauci, no new masks mandates for Delta Variant
Fauci, suggests mask mandates for Delta Variant
Fauci, Masks not really effective.
Fauci, Masks, Goggles, needed to fight Covid
Fauci, Double masking is highly recommended
Or one of these gems.
Lets move social distancing in schools from 6 feet to 3 feet since we now realize that we do not have enough physical space in the schools to properly enforce the 6 foot rule. 
CDC says that if you are vaccinated you can ditch masks, CDC says that Vaccinated people must wear masks.
CDC recommends that everyone wear a mask on page 1 of their website, on page 6 of that same website, the CDC specifies that only fitted and sized respirators are acceptable deterrents to Covid and that all other masks are ineffective against aerosols. 
Biden says no masks indoor or out for vaccinated, minutes earlier and later the CDC says otherwise.
Masks for everyone, unless you are attending a party at Martha's Vineyard with 700 friends of Obama (masks for thee but not for me)
Gavin Newsome locks down California, then attends an indoor party with several friends INDOORS, no masks (Masks for thee but not for me)
I think it is safe to say that shaming someone for being skeptical, considering the small percentage of inconsistencies that I have mentioned here is actually an example of ignorance or cognitive dissonance. My comments were never meant to be pro-vaxx or anti-vaxx but rather explanatory. The knee jerk response of many, such as yourself, is strongly biased toward your opinion, you are quick to throw others under the bus and cancel them and their concerns, when we all know that healthy skepticism is good for our society. Should everyone get the vaccine? That is a decision that is best left up to an individual and their doctor, a collective, one size fits all approach is not realistic, especially considering the wide variety of health conditions that would prohibit someone from possibly being vaccinated. 
I have a nephew, a cancer survivor, his doctors have advised him against taking the vaccine, I suppose he is "ignorant," and inconsiderate of others, a threat to society that needs to be removed. 
If none of the above references are cause for skepticism, then blind ignorance may be your problem.

Yeah, but Ivermectin has been around for a loooooooooooooooong time and nobody laughed at folks for using it then. The whole argument against it is rooted in mask and vax shaming. Japan, a first world country is now recommending it to all patients as a form of effective treatment. IMO, our concern should be centered on the how and why an effective treatment is being demonized, ostracized and in this case laughed at. 
I am all for being making their own decisions regarding their health and well being, and fully understand why folks are skeptical of the vaccine. The target has moved so much over the past 18 months that to blindly trust the "science," is a sign of cognitive dissonance. Ivermectin has been around long enough that a lot of folks are at least of the persuasion that it will not cause any long term complications, that cannot be said about the Vaccine. (Just trying to keep it real here and put this in perspective, everyone that is skeptical of the Vax isn't a nut job)
Remember science is a process, it is not an institution nor is it an authority, no need to treat it like it is. Data is constantly changing. 
 
BTW - Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for Medicine

ATW EPISODE 4.1 (Please hit the LIKE BUTTON and the SUBSCRIBE BUTTON) it really helps us out!   (Listen Here)     Season 4.0 is here, new intro, new sponsors, same old crew!   WEEKLY RECAP - Week 1 review   PEAK PERFORMER OF THE WEEK - Wise Central Player   BIG TALK - Abingdon assistant, Rob Ratcliff passes away, Hurley flood report and interview with Mark Cooper   BELLACINO'S PLAYER OF THE WEEK - Mother Nature   TOP 5 - 1A and 2A top 5 picks   STUMP THE CRIG - What happens when you buy a new bed?   PIGSKIN PROGNOSTICATIONS- Who will win week 2 games?              

It used to be 9-12, however, the rule has since changed. Enrollment now includes 9-11 and seniors are not counted for athletic purposes. 
For example, school enrollment for funding is calculated 9-12 as every student is needed to be counted for funding purposes. The same rule does not apply when it comes to athletics and classification.
In regards to Athletic participation, the numbers are usually turned into the VHSL in the spring, since seniors are on the cusp of graduating, it has been decided that only students in grades 9-11 would be submitted to VHSL. 
I am not sure at this time if 8th grade enrollment is added to that total, but the way that i understand it 8th grade students are not counted. The reason being, that most 8th graders are attending school in a different facility and although they would naturally be moving to the high school, there is no guarantee that they would be attending and therefore should not be included in the numbers. 
 
Hope this helps,

Up and running, posted in another thread!

The biggest problem I see with most arguments is the fact that people fail to realize that science is a PROCESS, science IS NOT AN INSTITUTION and should never be treated as if it is.
