For one, I am not sure about the side-effect-freeness. In fact, the covid vaccine is the first vaccine I know where a high percentage of people I know who have got the shot also were ill for a few days. So this is new for me. I have got

Almost all vaccine producers claim effectivity for about 9 months, right? So after 9 months, you need to get another shot. Since you have decided your immune system can not handle COVID on its own, you have now a dependency on the vaccine

Frankly, if you insist I get a biannual shot for your reasons, I insist that you give up tennis because I dont see why I should pay a single penny for your spare time activities. I am willing to retract my retarded claim if you do the same.

Yes, my "substiantial benefit" is not exposing my system to an artificially created addiction/dependency on fabricated meds. What you seem to ignore is the long term effect of going down that path as a society. If the death

So following your argument, we would also need to outlaw every sort of risk-taking behaviour. Almost every sport except chess bears a risk comparable to what you say above. And most recreational activities also bear a risk that you might

"What would it take to change your mind?" is either a starter for bribery, or it at least implies that the mind of the other needs changing. All your "rational discussion" stuff aside, please explain to me what exactly

I experience similar things. Frankly, I think the media has put so many weird labels on people who choose not to vaccinate that after the lockdowns, the vaxed people found a sort of sensation in talking to non-vaxed people. It felt like i

This is no quote, so please dont make it look like one. Also, the comparison is nonsense. If someone drinks and drives, they did intake something into their system which made them a risk to others. What you want is the reverse. Everyone

What I find most sad about your post is that you had to open by stating your vaccination status. So we effectively reached a point where you are only allowed to be critical of vaccination after you got yourself a shot. This is so weird

Why does this technique change anything? You are still assuming the supposed superior position, since you imply that the stance of your discussion partner is wrong and needs to be changed. Dont you see how patronising this is?

The vaccination is still not mandatory, right? Why do you write "excuse"? Are you really so full of yourself that you can not accept that people make different decisions from yours? Why do you even care? I assume you got the v

I believe a DSL-done-right doesnt care about the issues you mention. The important thing about DSLs is the DS, Domain-specific. The domain experts care about a nice language fitted for their specific domain. But they dont care about eval

Your criticism seems to apply to every DSL, which in my mind makes it too generic and therefore invalid. It also reminds me of the argument which was used to push Java in the corporate world. "We need a language which protects us from

I am working in HPC, and I beg to differ. Yes, compilers should do optimisation whereever possible, but that is only a small percentage of the story. If the programmer doesnt know which algorithms to choose, the compiler is unable to fix

And there are many stories like this. When CAPTCHA started to be widespread, a lot of my blind friends (including me) suddenly were blocked from using parts of the Internet. We had to find sighted help to solve just a captcha, while every

CAPTCHAs are discriminating. They fail at what their name suggests they do occasionally. Which means they dehumanize humans. There are humans without eyesight, you know? And some of these have bad hearing. The web has decided that it i

Keep your FUD to yourself and to your family. I am young and healthy enough that I will not need a hospital if I get a covid infection. Your FUD does not change my attitude.
