It's not about accusing companies of "virtue signalling". It's about marketing and hypocrisy. All companies exist to make money, everyone is all about "making the world a better place" until they need to make m

But wait, everyone is blaming people in Europe and the US for feeding the virus and not behaving properly, comparing them with countries like Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand. So when is it ok to compare random countries w

Are we now redefining now what a calendar year is just so that we can somehow get to the result we want? that's not science, it's not how it works. You're saying that even though for the past decades we're looking at mor

That is simply not true and just speculation - especially for a disease that has been around for less than a year. Most of the studies that reported things like heart damage and other kind of side effects were retracted, but the retraction

There is a big shop in Germany, Otto, that encourages you with a €1 bonus for every review that you leave for a purchased product. Surprisingly the reviews are quite ok and you can find a lot of products with 2-3 stars on average and anywhe

You can't just compare all countries as they were all the same. Europe managed it quite well while it was spring and summer (surprisingly in line with all the standard respiratory diseases stats from previous years). Australia (and the

You can’t just put all the “many” people in the same bucket. I hate this so much now in various circles. I also saw someone else with a similar idea: “why is there a second wave, are so many people anti maskers and non COVID believers?”. No

But this is absurd. We can’t give them a free pass and believe the fact that they can’t moderate content. They want all benefits of being this global giant, but none of the responsibilities. If you can’t moderate and provide a clean environ
