That's a really good point and I agree completely. "Herd Immunity" as not the correct term to use because yes, it is with us for the foreseeable future. Some weaker form of "herd immunity" where most people have had

If a person is infected, it has been evaded. Period.

It's not only not a terrible policy position, natural immunity will turn out in the end to be the ONLY effective thing which gets us to to herd immunity. At this point I don't understand why this isn't obvious. You make a tar

Seems we should be able to test for antibodies though. Why aren't we?

by mythrwy 5y ago
What if it works the opposite though? Simple evolutionary biology suggests resistance develops from roadblocks or mechanisms to stifle. We see it all the time in antibiotic resistance, resistance of insects to pesticides used in crops, all

Do we have any hard data on that or is it just something people say?

They are actively supporting civil non-liberties now though, in print. They are not what they used to be.

Equicide? At least people still kept some horses around for recreational riding etc. What will happen to cows?
760.
by mythrwy 5y ago
I wonder, from a cows point of view, if being eliminated as a species is preferable to being eaten one at a time at some point in their life cycle. Because this appears to be advocating for genocide. Or bovinecide (is that the right word)?

`The argument that vaccines don't prevent delta tranmission are based on headlines, not science.` That is not the case. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02187-1 "“The bottom line is, this can happen

That mandate doesn't make sense though. "Think of the Children!" type arguments aside.

No, I mean variants. That's a lot of claims.
764.
by mythrwy 5y ago
That's an incredible claim which I disbelieve. First of all, there will be no 100% vaccination globally. Second of all, variants will continue to emerge while we play wack a mole. Yes, in the vaccinated. Never mind potential animal res

How much does vaccination decrease the likelihood of transmission of Delta? Does anyone know this?

Question about carbon capture: The C02 being released in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels was in the air initially before being tied up by photosynthesis. So as time goes on (since inception of life) more and more C02 is tied up in

I don't know how valid the "19,000 bathtubs" of concrete number is, but it's worth noting much of this is poured vertically (as in footings or high rises or thick pads). That might buy us a little time until the planet i

It's not a one dimensional problem though. There is a lot of interaction between the various systems in a human body. To keep with the programming analogy, ya, you can see the SUM statement and that is necessary to understand, but what

I'm sorry I strongly disagree your language is either literal or accurate.

A guy in a viking suit with bear spray was out to take over the government? NPR and Washington Post say so (after 4 years of claiming Trump was the antichrist). They are grasping at straws trying to build an (unreasonable) narrative. Where

Agreed, absolutely is not what happened. I don't deny a riot happened that day. Which is the kind of thing people are actually being charged with. As they should be. I'm not in favor of riots. But where do you see "intent to

I'm with you up until "and then attacked the United States with intent to violently usurp control of the government". That isn't what happened and is exactly the type of inaccurate and unfair characterization you mention

I lived in an apartment some years back and tired of using the (often filthy) public laundromat. So I got a breather washer, a small spin dryer and a heat dryer. https://www.lehmans.com/product/breathing-hand-washer&#x2

You can care about other's opinions and feelings or not but you only damage yourself in the end if you don't because they don't go away with "well I'm right!". Good luck on your "action". Isn't g

"It's happening" and the effects attributable to humans burning fossil fuels is a scale though. There's very little doubt C02 does increase the holding of heat. There's also very little doubt the earth has gotten sl
