Yes we do pay for them. And Pfizer just jacked up the price 25% and Moderna did too: https://www.ft.com/content/d41...

And I don't know why you guys keep talking about "Republicans". Only 36% of African Americans are vaccinated, and only 41% of Latino Americans are vaccinated. Are they "Republicans"? Nope. Why do you guys politicize science?

Ah yes, the old "other people are idiots but I am smart" canard. You must be like one of those "sophisticated" people who attended Obamas birthday party that didn't wear masks because they were so "sophisticated". Here is a shocker guys: just because you earn six figures in IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU SMART. It just makes you lucky.

You don't need access to medical care to get COVID vaccines. They are administered by every public health department in the US and in every drugstore (for free). You do not need to go to your primary care physician to have them "explain" to you that vaccines are safe. The public health departments in the US go door-to-door in these communities to spread the message. I guess the real question through is why do you want people of color to die so badly? Are you a Nazi?

Well you could ask that same question about "Healthy young mother contracts COVID and dies the next week" that you see all over the news. Did she die of COVID? Or something else? Was COVID a factor? THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE EDITORIALIZING OR HIDING INFORMATION. But yeah, I get it: you are one of those "other people are stupid" people. But YOU know the truth (of course).

"A 'healthy' doctor died two weeks after getting a COVID-19 vaccine; CDC is investigating why."

This is why news and news distribution entities should not be in the editorializing business. The headline is simply a fact. It does not "promote" anything, but facts. Let the people have the information they need to make an informed decision.

Yes, the whole idea is idiotic, which is why it doesn't work. Neural Nets are nothing like how the brain works. These training algorithms (they are algorithms not AI) simply train the system. It doesn't magically impart intelligence. NN are good for bounded problems, with bounded inputs.
