Lysol has warning labels on the bottle. You can't fix the failure of the education system by coddling people and putting blinders on them.

That's the job of news organizations and journalists who have access to experts to verify the information. Also, it seems like Facebook is just a scapegoat here. IMHO, The real problem is that people on both sides of the political spec

No that is not my argument at all.

Nothing personal, but I found it a bit ironic that your own criticism of the parent amounted to simply asserting "Not really" without addressing any specific points. You didn't say which experts you would have chosen, and why

I don't see how helping users maximize their investment in software is "staying behind". But anyway, can't really argue with an opinion. If it was some trivial $50-100 piece of software, then maybe an argument can be mad

At my workplace (vaccine r&d), we're using software written for XP on W10. Like we actually just double click the original installer that came on a CD and it works out of the box. Basically, if you purchase software and the vendor

There are multiple COVID vaccines in play, and they use different technologies. Assuming you have a choice, it would depend on which of those you're administering. But yes, it is certainly possible. There already exist combination vacc

Well, even if it mutates in a way that is beneficial (to us), you still have the original strain which will continue to spread unabated without a vaccine. It was just a handful of people who were infective initially, and now the diseases ha

I think the point OP was making that if the data hasn't surfaced, then you cannot confirm if a particular case of identity theft has been caused by the breach.

Well, if fighting off the disease doesn't produce long term immunity, then neither will a vaccine. I guess we'll either have to keep-up with booster doses, and hope for the best that the the virus doesn't mutate enough to not

There aren't any public platforms to voice opinions, so if you are cancelled from private platforms, then you are essentially silenced into submission. In my opinion, it's worse if the government is not involved, you can at-least

Well, then that's not really the RT-PCR that's at fault, its the way the disease presents itself, that makes it difficult to find a reliable point of sampling. Although, I can see how in casual conversation one might say that the

Where did you read that? Was it a reputable source that cited peer-reviewed data? We use RT-PCR every single day at our company (vaccine development) and we couldn't do our jobs if it performed so abysmally. The RT-PCR is the gold stan

To add to what you said, the depth of field calculation relies on the circle-of-confusion that you pick (which is based on the viewing distance and the size of final reproduction), and is therefore also closely dependent on the resolving po

Well but how do you evaluate the consequences of saving the lives? After all, discussing the value of human life might be one of the oldest debates in philosophy. To take an extreme example, is being poor worse than being dead? And to that

Well if anything serious is found post-sale then like any medication, a recall should be issued. But like you said, all good in theory :) If any vaccine manufacturer engages in fraud and massages the data, then that is a human greed issue,

In addition you need to account for the kind of antibodies that are produced, whether they can neutralize a different strain of the virus, etc. Also, as you get older, your thymus isn't quite as capable, and so your immune response get

I'm a little suspicious when the real experts don't wear masks, and the internet experts berate you over the head for not wearing one.

Well if the owner of the property can't balance out their own finances, they could just sell it. Super anecdotal, but I'm hearing a lot of people are looking to invest in the real estate market now.

by ksk 7y ago
If masks are so amazing, how come we don't see Fauci or any of the other experts regularly wearing masks?
359.
by ksk 7y ago
Because there isn't enough raw material (e.g. reagents), and even if we did have them and the planets supply chain is messed up. What makes you certain that it is possible to manufacture billions of tests?

by ksk 7y ago
No, even in your hypothetical case, the disease still continues to infect when you lift the social distancing and the economy re-opens. That is not herd immunity.
