I agree with this in principle, but in reality the flood of new people, influence/manipulation by organisations (political and market) and encouragement of features that reward low quality content (emotes, monetisation, etc) mean the s

You know this kind of leads towards communism... Which I think is the key problem with any kind of shared equality by force system, it will work nicely so long as no one running things decides they don't want it to, then it works real

These responses are also tedious, in that a negative opinion can't be valid and the user just didn't 'do it properly.' The author went to the effort of providing the rationale for his opinion at least. Per your second p

I think most people use it as a label for Nazi Germany under Hitler, or at least after the transformation from progressive socialist party to authoritarian regime.

If no one would use it if it was opt-in, that says something about the actual demand for such a thing, aside the product makers.

It's an interesting thing though that I often see these two views provided simultaneously: > Long Covid symptoms are most likely caused by Covid (even if barely symptomatic from the initial infection! - example: https://w

Can you share a study showing where Covid is responsible for such rises in this particular age bracket? As far as I understand, 18-49 yr olds are not a high risk group for covid, so is it not worth properly investigating the vaccines and o

Oh yeah also, ad hominem attack instead of responding to the arguments. Nice.

Actually the interesting part of that theory being true or not is Fauci funding gain of function research in those labs through Peter Danszak (i.e. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/nih-took-scientists.

See that's the thing, it's so easy to just say 'oh an anti-vaxxer' with a smirk and not think more. But I have done a lot of research and informing myself over time and things very much don't add up. Yes the vacci

You're missing the point. Who gets to determine what is 'misinformation?' I think you'll find if you look back a year or so it was the government representatives and 'MSM' defining it, not leading scientists

It's not. There's a heap of research behind their statements too, but all that research is also 'wrong' because the authorities say so. There's currently more people per capita in hospital fully vaccinated than n

But you seem to be asking for the implementation of the passport, which takes away specifically the rights of others to freely associate. And, if you are vaccinated what is to be afraid of the unvaccinated for? They do not automatically ha

by agentgumshoe 5y ago
But the vaccinated are still ending up in hospital in increasing numbers. It's not that simple. Also, it amazingly continues to remain anecdotal instead of receiving proper media/scientific investigation, but the side effect prof

Depends on what you think success is. Higher hospitalisation and case rates across the board with countries reintroducing restrictions doesn't sound like a success to me. And no, you can't just blame the unvaccinated when transmi

by agentgumshoe 5y ago
At risk of what exactly? The unvaccinated don't automatically have covid. The vaccinated can catch, and spread covid. If you are vaccinated, why are you afraid of unvaccinated people being around you, if it is only them that will be

The problem is, the vaccinated are still dying and going to hospital in increasing numbers while also (if the lancet etc are correct) carrying higher viral load and spreading the virus faster. It's not clear the vaccine end goal is a

by agentgumshoe 5y ago
The vaccine does not protect against infection, it only reduces that risk. The pass only says you've had the vaccine, not that you're covid negative.

by agentgumshoe 5y ago
No, the rate per 100k should be much lower if vaccination is working properly. Yes the case numbers would be expected to be higher (a lot of people argue 'base rate fallacy'to support this), but that fails to address that the vac

by agentgumshoe 5y ago
I think that's the sad thing about it all. There's a self-righteousness about those who got vaxxed 'for the greater good' even as the vaccine fails to do its job, able to hand wave away 100's of thousands of people
291.
by agentgumshoe 5y ago
And yet to voice concern around the current worldwide covid vaccine rollout and effects is to be "anti-vax" and anti-science. People can be funny with logic.

And if some future ruler decided that meat is to be banned, what would you think of activists opposing that? Or is it the idea of the stereotyped hippy/conspiracy theorist whacko as the 'activist' you oppose?
