Why do you say that? Did you have a first hand experience with not-only-vision approach?

I don't think this criticism applies here. The thesis is clearly contrarian, as the market prices US assets lavishly and Chinese dirt cheap. The reader can be assumed to know that.

> 75% of the world production of linen is done in France That's interesting, why is it so concentrated? Is it subsidized heavily?

Yes, without large scale randomized efficacy trials. That's what we do with the flu.

I can't be sure, could go either way. Remember for instance that the second dose causes on average worse side effects.

You should at least account for additional sick days, tens of millions of them.

I happened to read it already. Are you willing to bet that the tweaked Moderna vaccine (the trials of it was announced, right?) shows worse efficacy than the original? Odds 51:49 in your favor, null hypothesis of the same efficacy is a tie.

Safety - yes, do we really need efficacy trials for such a change? Is it remotely likely to be worse?

Your last paragraph makes little sense. We have no idea what kind of immune response any given person might get with a vaccine (any vaccine) either. What kind of test this is? And infections after covid vaccines are sadly also a thing.

Which is infuriating by the way. The best explanation why (which I've seen) is "doh, that would be a bit inconvenient". Is there, like, a rational reason?

> And then, once you're done not cutting it down, you can cut it down and sell it to a sawmill. The only logical solution is to force you to buy some carbon offsets from coal miners. In the form of obligation not to mine some coal.

In addition to mature forests being carbon neutral, not negative, the scheme in question has exactly the same problem you described - the supply of "not cutting trees" is huge if not unbounded, and it has very little to do with CO

It would've made sense if it was a true offset, i.e. carbon capture in various forms. But "offsetting" carbon-positive activity with carbon-neutral is just bizarre. Where is my money for sitting on a couch instead of taking a

Obviously, so what? If you have a shop-lifter who stole 100$ worth of goods last year and 200$ this year and a fraudster who stole 100000$ last year and measly 50000$ this year, you wouldn't say that the first one is a hardened crimina

Why would you compare derivatives and not absolute values when designating who is "actively working against the environment"? Objectively US is polluting way more per capita.

I know what it means, I was too lazy to do the math properly. The point was that with such a (relatively) short half-life the total amount stabilizes quickly.

I had in mind a relatively broad definition* from the latest Swiss public initiative on the topic. Which was forbidding any chemical alterations to the compounds already produced by plants, etc. Not really familiar with labeling requirement

No, there are organic pesticides. Some on them can be better (e.g. less stable) than some synthetic ones, that's all. And them being organic also guarantees that they can't be improved, in terms of stability or targeting, so that
