Are you buying that it's just a coincidence that the author quoted the opinion of the vice president of the Democratic party in an article that's clearly in opposition of the view point of the leader of the Republican party? What's that you said about taking a critical look again?

Your serious? Her being a politician should EXCLUDE her opinion on the mater as completely irrelevant... she is not an expert and therefore her opinion is as relevant as Trump's = irrelevant!!! Wake up!

"Because she's a U.S. Senator who may be the Vice President soon. That's why people care, even if you don't."

This is exactly my point. You are part of the problem the article was pointing out. I personally, don't care what her opinion is because she's not an expert. Just like I don't care what Trump's opinion is because he's not an expert. The fact that the article says I should shows that it's politically biased, and the hypocrisy of talking about how political motivations are causing problems while simultaneous politically charging your own article is disgusting.

By including the quote from a political candidate the author is saying (without words) that her opinion on the mater matters. Therefore, the AUTHOR is telling me that I should care what Kamala Harris' opinion on the matter is. How can you not see that?

Okay, and that's fine, but why her? Why not quote some virologist or someone who isn't.. oh I don't know, currently running as vice president in the upcoming election? At best the author is making the same mistake being talked about in the article by accident. At worst they are quoting her because they support her bid in the upcoming election. Either way it's politically biased.

Funny.. the article doesn't seem to have any quotes from politicians supporting Trumps view point. Had there been one, I would have called it out as well, but their isn't.. is there?

No it wouldn't be consistent with that. That would be consistent with not thinking critically. The hypocrisy of quoting a politician in order to reinforce your narrative whilst simultaneous talking about how the narrative your trying to reinforce is being driven by political motivations is... well it's sad really.

If they can't put these everywhere they should at least target the minority's in our country who are most susceptible; specifically, people over the age of 75.

I prefer using forums. They feel more personal, inviting, and calm. My bookmarks include top forums for every language I use. I would rather wait a few hours for an answer than bother with SO when I have questions that don't seem to have been asked before. SO is hostile even after years, and years of use I still always feel as though I am walking on eggshells when I post questions to SO. That's not okay.
