If you've got pre-existing conditions that make you more likely to die if you catch the virus (old, fat, bloodpressure/breathing issues), get the vaccine. Even better if you take your own personal precautions and stay home, don&#x

The people parroting/pushing empty phrases like "do your part", "we're in this together" and "safe and effective" that mean absolutely _nothing_ in the grand scheme of things are part of the problem.

I have a very big problem with putting essentially unlimited amounts of trust and faith in a pharmaceutical company who has the single goal of increasing profits year over year. All these morally/lawfully abhorrent things Pfizer has do

It's absolutely amazing that we were sold something, being told it would solve all our problems, get us back to "normal", but here we are now. Looks like the vaccine isn't as effective as scientists previously thought (h

What about the countries that did? There are quite a few countries that have 80%+ uptake rate (Singapore, Malta, UAE, Portugal are all around 85+% vaccinated)- are those countries going to mandate booster shots? You bet they are!

The Facebook Oversight Board sounds like a bunch of creepy silhouettes in a darkened boardroom moving pawns on a figurative chessboard.

We were told only two shots were needed and that if we all did our part that this problem would go away and we'd go back to "normal". Now we need booster shots because two doses of the vaccine that was touted as "safe an

I find it hard to believe that a single state is able to cause such large supply problems nationally (and internationally) because of a law barring independent trucking companies from doing business in their state. But then again, it _is_ C

The only thing you can do to protect yourself is get vaccinated. That's the only thing you can control - encouraging governments and employers to force rushed medical treatments upon their citizens, through threats and acts of violence

If the government _really_ wanted to do something about the effects of the pandemic (now and beyond), they'd be promoting healthy lifestyle living, encouraging exercising, health education, etc. They're not - and I'm not too

I know somebody who's very personal to me who took the vaccine because they were threatened with termination of employment. They live paycheck to paycheck and have a wife and 3 kids to support. They're going to have to live with t

Considering it's none of your (or society's) business if they choose to get vaccinated or not, you shouldn't be asking those questions. Also, I'm sure by 2/5/10 years the virus will have mutated down to the poi

Protecting your currency against fraudulent activities was the responsibility of the government too, until they put the responsibility onto the credit card/processor companies. So many things that should be ran by a government agency a

It's really frustrating to see actual medical progress be pushed back in the public eye because some people have such intense dislike for someone. "Some guy we hate said this might work - quick, write a thousand articles about how

The main reason is cost (here at least) Margarine is significantly cheaper than butter in my country. In parts of Canada, you can get a close to 1 gallon container of margarine for the same price as 1 standard block of butter.

Banks heavily regulate _themselves_ now in a lot of aspects. I believe since the PATRIOT act was passed, the onus of fraud prevention was put on the financial companies, not the government. This has caused a big rift in the "freedom to

So the problem is no accountability in an industry that has little or no accountability to the public. This seems like a tough nut to crack - not sure how we'd hold people accountable for their journalistic malpractice.

It's frustrating how close some people are to realizing that their favorite news sources are not news anymore. They're all propaganda pieces bought and paid for by big tech and government subsidies - being used to report on narrat

Why does it seem as of late (meaning the past 20-30 years) that journalism has been morphed into pushing narratives through writing, as opposed to simply reporting facts/viewpoints like in investigative journalism? This washington post

The government lied to their citizens because they weren't prepared enough and didn't stockpile enough N95 masks for their healthcare workers. That's what I'm reading. That's okay to you? I think it's absolutel

I can't wait to see the list be modified further to include other countries that these companies want to gain footholds in by favoring local governments.

You'd be looking at billions of dollars to dry and drill through that rock. It's incredibly dense. But yeah, it would be pretty cool to see done.

Lying by omission is the nastiest, dirtiest, disgusting-est (lol) type of lying and misdirection. It's the worst because the people that do it know they're doing it and they know they're doing it to hide the truth in a weasel
