> Joe apparently said you shouldn't worry about taking the vaccine if you're young and healthy, and when he apologized he called himself a moron and said he was talking about OTHER people. That's insane: getting vaccinated regardless of age means a brush with covid is less severe

It's actually not insane at all:

What's insane is calling such statements insane when the evidence isn't yet there to reach such a conclusion.

> On the other hand, the media generally doesn't make ridiculous pie-in-the-sky takes.

I have to disagree with this too. A lot of takes on Trump were pretty ridiculous. He's probably among the worst Presidents ever, but the blatant exaggerations during the Trump years were ridiculous.
