The number of people with diabetes has doubled (surprisingly he got that right), but that is a little misleading.  Some of it is because we are now better able to diagnose and treat diabetes and also because because people are living longer in general.  It is a big problem though which brings us to your point about his funding cuts for diabetes research. 

his point is to 'blame' people for getting diabetes and then make them suffer the consequences.

so as a Veteran you violate your oath.... so your status as a Veteran is null and void and meaningless. 

Refresh my memory, what part of my oath said that drug dealers off the coast of South America are entitled to the favorite buzzwords of the bleeding hearts "due process"? 

You must really be outraged over the Bin Laden raid.   You are aware that during the raid there were multiple people killed, including two women, right?  How dare those Navy Seals Obama sent take aware their right to.....wait for it......due process!

you are a disgrace to the uniform to be honest.

Guess we've moved on from clutching our pearls over criminals being deported and are now focused on those poor drug dealers just trying to earn a living.    

where was any of this adjudicated? Even the drone strikes in the ME at least have a formal internal review process and the targets have to be identified as individuals. When you kill people without due process, that's murder by anybody's definition. Even any kind of police action requires suspects be given the opportunity to surrender. Were these people? You are only good with this because you feel securely beyond the reach of some arbitrary power doing it to you. But the screw has a way of turning.

We are officially a rogue nation. Have a nice day.

it makes weak people like him feel tough to think that way. It's no skin off his back and his phony fears are subsided by the bleeding out of brown people far away.

Because the military never makes a mistake.

You think this admin would be less than fully informed and other than completely truthful?

Welp, I'm going to try to get a covid shot this weekend, in Florida. 40, borderline Type 2 diabetic, frequently visit parents who have comorbidities.

Bin Laden was on that boat.

Can Americans get COVID vaccines in Canada?

I don't know. Google says yes for money at a private clinic. Could try calling some places.

I am not happy that I don't qualify for a vaccine.  I have had Covid before and it was no big deal for me, but I will be teaching for the next 8 months and if I get Covid I am supposed to stay at home.  That means remote teaching  for a week which isn't good.  The lecture is OK, but doing computer labs in breakout rooms is not a good way to learn.

It depends on the province. Alberta is a "no". We looked that up since we'll be there in October.

The real public health epidemic is obesity and it shows no sign of letting up. Type II follows obesity like day follows night. Kennedy's sense there is something widespread going on that is wrong is correct, but he's not seeing the actual forest for all the overweight people right in front of him.

To be fair, he has said that he wants to ban a lot of processed foods. I don't know what his plan is for that.
