Are you consistent in your aversion to activities which can have one per million injuries?Don't worry though, everything is safe. This pause is just for funzies..
US recommends 'pause' for J&J shots in blow to vaccine drive
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. on Tuesday recommended a “pause” in use of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to investigate reports of rare but potentially dangerous blood clots, setting off a chain reaction worldwide and dealing a setback to the global vaccination campaign.apnews.com

How many masters grads do you know who are grocery store managers

Maybe not grocery stores per se, but I know at least four people with master's degrees who are retail type middle-managers instead of working in the field of their degree.

I'm consistent in that I like to be cautious before jumping in the deep end. I look before I leap.
Seeing something through that requires years of effort and focus means nothing to you? Hm.
Can you explain how that pertains? There's probably a one in a million issue with every medicine and I'm sure you've taken medicine before, so what is your method for overcoming that?

I have another friend who graduated UCSC with a computer science degree. His mom paid his way. 20 years later he has no job, and lives in the guest house at his mom's place in San Diego. So, to answer your question.. it depends.

I don't generally take medications. When I do, then I research the options first, and make what I consider to be an educated decision before acting.

As an example, when I vaccinated my daughter for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, I researched in advance, and discovered that you don't need to give the standard 3-in-1 "MMR vaccine", and that many experts considered it safer to take the vaccines separately. It doesn't have to be a yes or no answer. Many of these issues can be nuanced. There's no benefit in ignoring the risks, in my opinion.
Okay but you presented that article to suggest that it's unsafe, that one in a million is unacceptable, but everything is probably one in a million. So where are you at in your vaccination studies and where is your safety threshold? Do you drive a car? What kind of studying did you do on the intersections in your area that have higher rates of accidents and do you bypass them?

Right
but he's here all day looking for posts with "inappropriate language" to delete from anybody outside of his political cyberfiends instead of putting all those degrees to work
You're saying that the ones you chose for your children have less than one in a million side effects?
Whether or not a person was able to utilize their degree is a separate issue from the ability to see it through though, isn't it? Have you ever taken on a full-time personal project that took years of effort? If nothing else, seeing something like that through says something.

I didn't say that and neither did the AP article. It's purely information. You put in your own subtext and applied it to me. Nice try.
Do I drive a car? Yes. I also wear my seat belt, and come to complete stops. Driving a car is very dangerous, so I do my diligence to mitigate potential dangers. I do actually drive the country backroad at 45mph to work instead of the highway, even though it takes me 10 minutes longer. It is safer, and it's also a nice drive.

It was a long time ago, I'd need to go back and look at the numbers to give you a clear answer.

Yes I have, thank you for asking. I am not without a degree myself. I have bigger personal accomplishments than that however.
You said "Don't worry though, everything is safe. This pause is just for funzies.." but you think I was mistaken to assume you were being sarcastic...? Hmmm okay, then you were saying it at face value, in which case....you think it is safe? That sounds inconsistent with your other posts. Maybe it would be best if you could just expand on your own comment and clear that up.
So you take the long route, have you ever taken a long road trip? One study says that you have 1:366 odds of getting into an accident in a 1000 mile trip. Did you come across that in your driving research study?
Do those accomplishments also mean nothing to you?

You should be a therapist lol. You ask a lot of leading questions.
I drove from Seattle to Santa Cruz on a motorcycle in 2-days once. It was dangerous. I didn't study up on the specific risks ahead of time. It wasn't the best decision I've ever made. It was risky. I was younger and stupider then.
