Tell me what system without the capitalist IP system actually innovated faster/better. I only find a lot of failed attempts. Maybe monetary incentives are important for innovation. And I don't think it's perfect at all, but a

On the other hand the incentive for people to innovate and make it accessible to anyone is often money. The criticism of capitalism is warranted, however the supposedly bad capitalist IP system is also the reason for innovation and cooperat

The vaccines are not sterile, so they do not stop the spread either.

There are no long-term studies for mRNA vaccines.

It's rather hard to resell these cards, so this is clearly better for nVidia. (not so good for everyone else)

I would shift the blame back to Reddit here, because they exposed data to mods that are completely unrelated to the subreddit. Another problem is the non-existing appeal process.

In India currently die ~2 people per 100k per week on Corona. In Germany it was over triple that in December. The total Corona mortality in India is also way way lower as in Germany (16.842/100k vs 100.35/100k). I am not sure that

Autism is by (original) definition a disorder. If everyone has that disorder, then it is no longer a disorder. I think many people confuse specializaiton, focus and/or intellect with autism.

This is not new at all. They tried to use mRNA vaccines for other diseases as well, but were never approved. This still holds true to this date. edit: An example would be Dengvaxia.

That might indeed be a factor; however the processes to get rid of the alcohol (it's toxic after all) might be to blame as well.

Your hyperbole will not fly well here. Generally speaking the rationale behind masks is heavily flawed and there is yet to be a study to prove that masks help in a pandemic. They sure work for limited amounts of time in specific use-cases,

I am not sure if this is still the case, but be aware that a specific CRF on x264 vs x265 might mean a different (perceived) quality. It was certainly the case a few years ago.

It would be equivalent if they would sell antibiotics-fed animals on the wet market. Otherwise it's really not equivalent at all. I am not disagreeing that both practices are bad, but that is just not the point.
