This discussion would only be relevant if there was any downside or personal cost to the obvious solution, which is to just get the damn vaccine. Apart from facing one's cognitive dissonance, fears and ignorance, there is none. Just ov

Yes, and that's perfectly fine because 1. you've been accepting that for other vaccines already and 2. there is no cost or significant risk to you from getting vaccinated, mostly just massive benefits. It's a win-win situatio

You seem happy to be countering his personal experience with your own personal experience, and jump to the conclusion that there's no difference (wrong) and the vaccine does nothing (wrong) so why bother risking long term consequences

This is the expert consensus based on everything they know about how immunity and mRNA works. It's kind of hard to give you one single source, simply because it's hard to demonstrate the absence of something. What usually happens

Delta has won this particular battle but not the war. The existing mRNA vaccines were pretty close to having a sterilizing effect (unexpected and very good surprise) on the previous variants. There is still hope that the Delta-specific upda

The mistake you're making is "omission bias" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omission_bias ) You're refusing the "beta" (installed by billions of users) version of something that can save

A large number of these infections are simply too recent for "long haul" Covid to have settled in. There's also not a globally accepted definition of the syndrome yet, so it won't show up in stats. If you go by "sti

And for the A600/A1200/CD32, make sure you have them recapped sooner rather than later. Old leaking capacitors can and do damage PCBs.

by renaudg 5y ago
If you want to make sure it boots up next time though, consider having it recapped : on A600/A1200/CD32 it's a matter of when, not if, low quality capacitors will leak and damage the board.
