Not really, when you look at where things ended up anyway, aside the issues with pumping up antibodies continuously. Another case of going for short term efficiency wins over doing things properly, but not so easily.

I think honestly your food for thought sounds more like a diversion after pretend agreeing and a character reference for a job offer.

The biggest problem is the labelling of anything outside the 'consensus' as unscientific 'misinformation.' This is particularly problematic where it is the media and government representatives determining what is consens

Only if the lack of fear is because an authority figure has managed it all for you. This creates the bigger problem of a lack of self-regulation and automatic trust in authority.

The article makes it like we should be trusting these institutions and that we don't because something not current has created the distrust. Amazingly the authors essentially trust the consistent and consensus message coming from these

Yes, and you do realise that many drugs are multi-purpose, used off-label on occasion (frequently actually) and can lead to breakthroughs in different fields? Your point was Ivermectin is horse paste. Clearly it's not just that. Go g

So who is your news source then? Who is the beacon of truth and reason we must move to? Not saying I like Tucker, I think he's terrible.

That is the default position in science. An encouragement to never be absolutely certain, because you never know what may turn out to be 'wrong.' Doubt is the wrong word, but 'question everything' is I think a perfect st

I think this is the problem with growing access to a global audience(market). It doesn't matter if the product sucks if the marketing spend and reach is enough that you get X% of that global pie and make good money. And it's an e

Once upon a time we got things called 'demo discs' with our gaming mags that had a taste of the games coming out soon so we could inform ourselves. It's nice to see lately that Steam is providing more demos, which should have

Yes there are a lot of good little unthinking consumers around sucking at corporate mother's teats. The future is bright.

Sounds like you're just talking the banking system and cash. Anonymity + regulation. They already regulate credit and banks have systems for fraud. What again does Bitcoin solve for over this?

It's not a long stretch to question if anything the CDC recommends actually comes from caring for public health at all rather than private interests. The US is becoming more and more the outlier in over-hyped fear and infantalism vs a

No there isn't. The studies touted have serious issues, but because they align to 'consensus' nobody checks, not daring be called some misinformation agent or 'anti-vaxxer.' They knew this after sars. It's no

Initially perhaps, but do we have good longer term data on how the sinovac holds up, given we're now saying Pfizer needs to be 3-monthly and Moderna is a much stronger dose? I think there was some over-selling of the mRNA vaccines tha

Not longer term if they end up creating hotter variants through vaccine escape. Look into OAS, I think it's a good thing the latest variant came from Africa and not Israel

How is that actually possible and not just completely variable across the board based on each individual's health? 'Often outperforms' leaves the question 'how often?'

On that part about not entering the cells, as we're seeing that the vaccine does not prevent illness, if covid does escape the vaccine and enter cells, at that point what is the difference between vaccinated or not? I haven't bee

by headsoup 5y ago
I thought that was what these vaccines specifically don't do: they select for the spike protein of the original variant and ignore others, whereas natural infection generates a broader response that will target a variety of proteins.

So what you're saying is on premises you need competence to do things but in cloud incompetence is no problem! These are arguments that wreak of developers who don't see the need to worry about things like 'cost,' &#x27

No I mean having empathy and being considerate, not physically caring. And if I did mean physical caring, again how does those with adverse events not then qualify for being an 'inconvenience' to those who have to care for them.
