But what would be incentives to using a PoS Bitcoin fork, as opposed to starting over with a fresh altcoin?

You see people firing up coal plants in your back yard? That's not an experience most people ever have.

Your comparison does not make sense, though. The question is, how many people who are not at risk from the disease do you have to vaccinate, and how many people are there who can not be vaccinated and would contract Covid-19. Let's say

Why do you say it is "deemed acceptable", if there is an ongoing discussion about it?

I should have added - risky for the person who might contract the disease. In any case, yes, both disease and vaccination have risks, that should be weighed against each other. Matters are complicated because risks differ among different ag

Except that the people who are worried can simply get vaccinated themselves. There may be a few people who can not be vaccinated (old and very sick), but it hardly seems appropriate to restrict billions of people just to protect those few.

Even describing the lives of normal people would be interesting. The problem is that "feminist scholarship" carries a very real risk of history revisionism.

So she was popular and so - that probably was true for many, many people throughout history. Not saying she wasn't a formidable thinker, but many people were and are. Only a few become famous because their inventions have long lasting
