Because they actually have a homeless problem and it was conflated with drugs. They are unwilling to run homeless people out of their cities. San Francisco has the same issues but drugs aren't legal there.

>If you provide all resources to people to enjoy opiates - they will have no incentive to quit. Why is that a problem exactly? Also people quit smoking and drinking all the time, has nothing to do with it being legal.

I agree. How were these pictures even taken? Did they shut down all these roads?

>Up to 2019, there are some studies that clearly show that the VAERS data underestimates the bad side effects of (some) vaccines, up to a factor of 100. You mean before vaccines became extremely politicized? I think we can safely assume

That isn't real data. Anyone can write anything on VAERS. There is no verification. People write crazy stuff like the vaccine turned them into the hulk. But lets be real, you almost certainly already know that. So you very likely fall

It's not religious to recognize that medical advances, especially in pharmaceuticals, have done more to extend lifespans and save lives in the last 100+ years than anything else. The pharma industry has been consistently producing what

How many doses would we need to give out to not call them "largely untested"? Far more covid vaccines were given out to more people then almost all prescription medications have been. They were FDA approved officially in 2021, and

Over 18 million doses of the J&J vaccine were given out. 6 women died. I don't think you could ever have testing to catch such a low rejection rate, and that rate is less dangerous than actual covid was, so those people weren'

That is why we should never allow a procedure that will roll out a vaccine that will kill thousands. Which we didn't do with Covid because the backlash that would create against ALL vaccines would be terrible and result in massive loss

Which effected almost no one, yet here you are talking about it. Imagine if an early covid vaccine had killed thousands. That would have had a massive chilling effect on vaccine uptake.

by pfisch 2y ago
You're not thinking it through. Lets say that vaccine ends up killing thousands of people. That event will then be used in a way that is wildly out of context as fodder by all the anti-vaxxers out there to scare people into not getting

If something would've gone wrong with rushing the vaccine like that it would've given the anti-vax people a massive boost and the vaccine refusal rates would've skyrocketed. The refusal rates were already too high with anti-v

Why isn't that the work of an ancient alien magi? Seems like the evidence for the alien magi is equal to the evidence of God.

by pfisch 2y ago
So you can't imagine how it evolved therefore you pick an even more unimaginable possibility with no evidence at all. I mean maybe an ancient alien wizard did it. Should we credit the alien magi instead?

I think this is too far, but you should have to be 18 to post on social media, except chat rooms like discord. Frankly, social media should maybe be highly regulated like prescription drugs. A lot of people can't handle social media an
