I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted for posting the truth, but your article does not refute anything I stated or what the article I posted states. They could both be true. It's better to be vaccinated and have natural immuni

Totally. The key is, once new information comes in to base decisions on the updated information. I'm glad that our public health officials are doing so.

There is no reason to assume that medical professionals are corrupt in encouraging people to be vaccinated, either. Especially given that the data shows better protection among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.

I appreciate your reply, thanks. Still, I would like to help bring the level of discourse on the site up and hopefully some folks are influenced by my comment to abide by the guidelines and engage.

This is why we rely on medical professionals to inform these decisions and they do say the population should be vaccinated: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/people-whove-had-covi... https://www.usatoda

If I'm understanding correctly, no. These things can both be true: - Being previously infected with COVID-19 confers greater immunity than the COVID-19 vaccines - Being previously infected with COVID-19 and being vaccinated confers &gt

Absolutely it would. Which is why it's a good idea to get vaccinated even if you have been infected or think you may have been. The article backs this position up as well, though the headline belies that: "The researchers also fou

Not in every case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_coup though in this case I'd argue it was a combination of both, there were folks involved in the insurrection attempt on the 6th that brought weapons: https:

The key thing here isn't that trump was a political opponent of Twitter/Facebook, but he was encouraging his supporters to overthrow the Democratically elected government of the US and put him in the office of POTUS. It makes sens

She is absolutely right. If trump touts a vaccine but the medical community does not, she wouldn't trust it - and neither should you. You have to remember at the time trump was recommending hydroxychloroquine as a preventative and mira

I hope this is the case but there will be a lot of antivax pushback, unfortunately.

The thing is many humans did not survive to get us here. I think this is a key point a lot of the antivax crowd doesn't see.

I don't know how Tesla ever presumes to achieve FSD when they cannot detect stopped objects in the road, especially emergency vehicles. This is incredibly disappointing. Does anyone know if the FSD Beta has this ability?

The problem is it is difficult to solve the issue with the coal powered plants when huge segments of the population are fine with "rolling coal" and think it's good to dump on EVs and green policy in general.

Actually Twitter suspended trump two days later. Now that we have more evidence of trump trying to have the DOJ to lie in order to keep him POTUS it is hard to argue that Twitter was in the wrong. Their actions were certainly ethical as the

At the time he was banned he was actively attempting a coup. Many of his followers still believe he will be reinstated as POTUS and he has done little to disabuse them of that notion.
