You can't just drop percentages without saying what they are. Those are not vaccination rates. Those are proportion of vaccination percentage to case percentage. What exactly are you trying to argue here?

But it's not lying. If you have had COVID, you should still get the shot. The science is not close on this, the vaccine provides additional immunity in addition to what you get from catching COVID.

And that's why we have tons of studies checking these shots for efficacy and side effects. Studies the mRNA vaccines have passed with flying colors.

This exact argument could be used to push back against environmental standards, occupational safety standards, or drinking water standards. I don't want cholera outbreaks and I don't want the health system to collapse because of

Even more sharply, should the willfully unvaccinated take priority over lower priority but less life threatening diseases? If someone has the flu, and it looks like they'll make it, but the doctor wants them in the hospital just in ca

The reason the heart inflammation think didn't show up is because of how rare it is, not the amount of time passed. If the issue you are talking about is that rare, than my argument still stands. As to something appearing years later,

This is not "my" shortcoming. This is a shortcoming of the system that we have to make up for in some way, like having a vaccine mandate.

People aren't allowed to drive drunk not because it's a risk to themselves, but because it's a risk to other people. This is the same with the vaccine. You are putting at risk children, the immunocompromised, or people who h

There is no evidence of that with this vaccine, and with the number of people who have received it we would have collected that evidence by now, so stop spreading hypotheticals.

All evidence is that it still is a greater risk to not get vaccinated if you've had COVID than to get vaccinated. A lot of bullshit "reportedly" happens. That's why the CDC sets guidelines based on the based scientific

This is compelling people by law to get it. Biden is using a law that is on the books to compel people to get it. I don't see the problem here. Any law that would be passed would be just as patch work and also require people to give

It doesn't help that major components of the "political class" are being the biggest babies and spreading straight up disinformation. Sure, we shouldn't have to have a mandate, but we are now at the point where it makes

Do you know why they were unhappy? I could imagine reasons why, but wouldn't want to poison the well, so to speak.

I don't think saying someone is more dependent on tourism makes it the case that Sri Lanka isn't dependent on tourism. An overnight drop of 12% is huge.

I think the poster is saying it's not really a single point if no return and therefore isn't a great analogy. Crossing the Rubicon was about a single act that so broke the status quo it was impossible to undo that. This is more

I believe it is much cheaper to put something in LEO then it is to get it to Mars, so I don't know if the economics of Mars Missions have fundamentally shifted to cheaper probes the way they have for satellites.

The article literally says shareholders do not legally own the company according to the law, they just have a contract with it. The company owns itself.

It's about the specific actions, such as executive incentives and altering stock structure based in the ideology of "maximizing shareholder value." The "ideology" should lead to some specific actions based on the lo

But some of those things that are dropped don't make any sense to have no impact on the characters, like someone having cancer. It's just mentioned and never brought up again.

Identitarian does not mean what you think it means. In fact, it's basically the exact opposite. I also have no idea what you mean when you say it has no ability to change anything. Are you talking about identity politics? Politics th

The idea that he could fix Air Force IT in 6 months if empowered seems absolutely ridiculous given the size of the organization. What do you think the US gov needs to change to get better at it?

I'm sure that the economist would state only things they believe they have some sort of evidence for. But, once again, saying a newspaper published some sort of causative relationship "with evidence" does not prove it should

Ok, so maybe something that is almost a truism because it was repeated many times by one newspaper should also be validated...?

People are actually very bad about judging the past to the present in a unbiased way. That's why we think we are better at predictions than we really are. It's also why one of the most common essays since written word has existe

Truisms are some of the things you should test the most, because it you don't, people just keep making the wrong assumptions. Think bleeding with medicine.

I think the parent comment was highlighting the conflict of interest and moral hazard here, not excusing the behavior.

Hold on, the above comment was about extradition as a concept, not a specific implementation. Surely you can agree the idea of extradition is a good one if you think it should be done in that case.

Yeah, people should totally be able to kill someone than go back to their own country and never be held accountable.

Much more likely to me is that he had a financial advisor handling his money. The article specifically talks about the number of shares purchased, and for most vehicles like this that makes no sense. Also, what I have read about for these
