Can you not read? I am comparing wearing a mask to NOT driving drunk. I am saying that wearing a mask is being considerate of others just like not driving drunk. It is also like wearing a seatbelt in that it can protect you! Masks help in p

Can you not read? Here is the quote for the RSV vaccine that I had included in the earlier comment. “Dozens ended up being hospitalized and two died.” Also can you not at least do your own research on atypical measles? Pulmonary lesions for

There is no need to argue with you anymore. First you say that all vaccines are safe. Then when I find examples of them being unsafe, you say it was a manufacturing mistake from 60 years ago. Then when I find another from 1998 you argue tha

No. The odds differ for each individual. It may be the case that for a particular individual it is better for them not to take it.

Wearing a mask isn’t driving drunk. That is exactly what we are asking children to do while the trials are under way. Your shete logic means that you think that children under 12 who don’t take the vaccine should not go to schools. Or are y

Wrong. Rotavirus is 1998. Do the math. 2021 - 1998 = 23 years EDIT: 23 not 32 years

Bowel obstructions kill you clown. Seems like a long term side effect to me.

Go ask them to wear masks. Either masks worked or they didn’t. Don’t force people to inject vaccines into their bodies.

You are wrong. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/concerns-history.... Go look at the Cutter incident. It killed 10. Seems like the long term side effect that you claim does not exist. “ In 1955, some batc

Also it is psychotic to vaccinate kids right now. We don’t have a good sense of the long term side effects of the vaccine. We usually figure that out with long term trials lasting years.

In fact, in some cases, the virus will break through meaning that not only do you get the virus but you show symptoms. Also there are cases of vaccinated people infecting other vaccinated people.

You do know how the vaccine works right? The virus still infects you and quite possibly reproduces for awhile. It is just that your immune system has been primed to recognize the virus and kill off cells that have been infected. In other wo

This logic is shete. There are already several classes of people who either can’t or shouldn’t take the vaccines: kids under twelve, immunocompromised, and people who have severe reactions to vaccines. It’s weird but I happen to have family

The same argument applies to every single company. The question is when and if they turn profitable. That is a legitimate question to ask. However, answering the question at a single non terminal point in time doesn’t make much sense. You c

Wouldn’t UBI serve as a counterweight to terrible working conditions and societal pressure?

I don’t think this dismisses the cost and the strategic implications. The US/China rivalry was recognized even 10 years ago.

The high tech/high income areas in the US are behaving a lot like this. There is a focus on getting into elite colleges and it propagates all the way down the system to preschool. As you alluded to, this makes it very expensive. People

I wonder if we need UBI to stabilize the birthrate. Basically if people have some assurance that their kids can be supported and have decent prospects in life then perhaps they will have more kids. Also, our big cities have evolved to serve

Censorship is a tool, not a goal. The goal was control of Afghanistan. Go look at the map of control. The Taliban have made great gains and the US and allies basically are giving up because they have bigger fish to fry. As noted, the censor

The harm caused by censorship is so much greater. Look at censorship in the old Soviet Union, present day China, 50s McCarthy era US, North Korea, present day Brazil, India, solidarity era Poland, etc… It isn’t a tool for combating disinfor
