He doesn't, that's a misquote by the OP. If you look at most citations of such, they talk about his involvement in mRNA tech. However, that's also a long process that involves many people, as most modern scientific endeavors

I'm in the opposite bucket regarding symptoms unfortunately. First shot gave somewhat unusual symptoms which were brushed off. Only after the left side of my face went numb after shot two did they consider allergic reaction. The side e

I think this hits the nail on the head. That the academic space is not just dominated, but overtly hostile to right wingers probably worsens this. Why would they trust advice given by people who proclaim their hatred of them?

I think this really shows the two schools of thought, and this is reflected in the attitude towards linux too. A: Linux is amazing, I can configure everything the exact way I want. B: Linux sucks, I need to mess around with configurations f

Eh, between the two, I'd reckon it'd be foolish not to go with the wealth. I can always get a job, or use the breathing room provided by wealth to gain skills for a job. The inverse is not nearly as reliable.

It's the same situation, but you're fine with one case because you agree with it. That's the fundamental problem.

That CDC article is likely outdated. In particular, refer to this line in the cited paper: >Second, the study period for this analysis occurred before the predominance of the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant; In the Israeli study, they specific

Sure, if you want to have 0 sense of proportionality. Steal a candy bar, no biggie. Steal a car and I won't sweat that death. Ideally though, the police would intervene. That they aren't is the root cause of this problem.

I'd expect the opposite, and from what I understand, this is particularly so for delta. Consistency is an issue though, as natural immunity is more variable in it's response. > https://www.science.org/content&#x

I see property in the current context as a proportion of a life. People invest time and effort, the better part of their lives to create and acquire property. The theft of such is thus a theft of said life.

I'd be a bit wary of corpse -> foodstuff conversion, largely because of prion risk. This isn't that though, from what I get. It's just facilitated decomposition of the body.

In the property case, my understanding is that people cannot take your property, this you are permitted to defend your property. In the positive rights case, the state extends property protection via the law and police, thereby implicitly g

Replacing property is still depriving others, just in aggregate, rather than on an individual level. Are e so divorced from the concept of how property is obtained that we think we can magic it out of an infinite pool?

I'll flip this on you: Without law enforcement, the financial side of the equation simply doesn't matter. There will always be people who want to get things for free, regardless of the societal cost. Remove this disincentive and t

The social contact granting the state it's monopoly on violence is contingent on its execution of its duty, herein being the enforcement of law.

It's still bullshit, mind you, and OP is probably deliberately misconstruing the law here. The law isn't "mow over protestors, we'll cover you". It's "If the driver was taking proper procedures and wasn&#x

Because it's an easy way to acquire resources. And a low-risk one, in your punishment free world too. Look at SF, where crime rings will happily walk straight into a store, scoop things off the shelves and walk out with nary a care. Pe

We draw the line ourselves. This line will be the aggregate maximum punitive multiple that you'd append to a theft. Property theft to many, even implicitly, is very much the equivalent of the theft of some quantity of their life. Peopl

So, I believe this is in part because of lax enforcement and the seeming ineffectiveness of the state with regard to property crime. The endgoal is low crime, that's what most people want. If the more humane methods fail, people are go

Not American, but I've really liked this one line I've heard. "Property and freedom are the past and future of a human life" People invest nontrivial amounts of their life into the acquisition of property. The theft of p
