Setting the injections aside for a moment, let's consider other pandemic-era government actions, like the non-pharmaceutical interventions. None of them worked and it was clear from the beginning that they were not going to ameliorate

If you are reasonably healthy and not elderly, your chances of being hospitalized with covid have always been extremely low. You get none of the alleged benefits, but take on all the risks of adverse effects, including sudden death months l

You've placed the goal posts on roller skates and are hoping I don't point it out. From my original comment: "coercing mostly low-risk people into submitting to experimental, liability-free vaccines that don't prevent sp

It's accurate and factual to state that getting all low-risk people vaccinated with covid with the current set of available leaky, quickly-waning vaccines does nothing to protect genuinely high-risk people. The cited values for time po

How much constantly-waning reduction of viral load and symptoms do you think would be necessary to coerce a healthy person not exhibiting any risk factors for severe covid-related illness into subjecting themselves to experimental vaccines

Deaths attributed to covid were almost entirely "with covid" and not "from covid". The average age of the fatalities was at or above the average age at which people ordinarily passed pre-covid and nearly all suffered fro

If I told you that vaccinated persons have been found to shed replication-competent covid virions for about as long as unvaccinated persons and that the protection against infection from the vaccines went negative (i.e. vaccinated persons m

I think you've gotten your hypothetical scenario a bit scrambled. Given a safe and effective vaccine, you and your vaccinated coworkers would either not become infected at all or would experience very mild symptoms and be left with sup

Heart damage resulting from vaccine-induced myocarditis can cause or contribute to heart attacks weeks, months, or years later, long after the acute symptoms of heart inflammation have seemingly resolved. And myocarditis isn't an on-o

The aesthetics of public housing in HK is not a factor in the pace of public housing construction or the amount of public housing made available. Appearance and supply are completely unrelated. Supply is maintained at an always-woefully-ina

Hi. Longtime Hong Kong resident here. Public housing and private housing in HK could both be described, in terms of appearance, as copy-pasted. Quality of construction is exceedingly poor (to get the flavor, you could watch this new-build
