As long as vaccination comes with no strings attached, i have no problem with recommending it. Each individual should be allowed to make an informed decision about taking the vaccine and the booster shots. Just the same way as we have done

Thanks for the term "COVID clingers", it gets the message across.

You are quite right of course, i do think Neil Young is making a big mistake here. Am looking forward to seeing a lot less COVID stories, there are bigger issues that humanity needs to deal with.

Probably the only interesting aspect of this, is how frequently elderly and those at risk should get booster shots. And booster shots might not help that much with stopping infections, but will help in keeping people out of hospitals. Very

Makes me want to cancel Neil Young for a good while, even though he makes great music. The Corona vaccine works well, but being critical of the vaccine is a healthy thing. Thankfully we are moving towards treating the flu and Corona virus t

Cars do not have transponders that publicly transmit data, so that comparison doesn't work. A better analogy is phone numbers, where you can have a number that's not listed in the public registry. But as long as the data is public

Very true, but frankly it's a hassle to deal with discs in this digital age. Some soundbars such as Samsung Q950T/Q950A send the sound to all speakers either 9.1.4 or 11.1.4 respectively. But you are quite right that discs offer t

Prime 4K is nice, but if you have a decent sound system with Atmos, then Amazon Prime is not the place. Apple TV has been the best platform so far for 4K and Atmos content, if you also want an option to purchase a title. https://

Super immunity is not a scientific concept, it would be nice to have some numbers or studies to show the difference. Natural immunity as a personal choice should have been possible. But that has not been an option, for someone who wants to

What would be interesting, would be to see flu shot efficiency and COVID shot efficiency over time. Preferably including Omicron data as well.

Saying that some people might have been miscounted is pushing an agenda that is not pro science I'd say. In London this number has been as high as 40%, so it's highly relevant to present accurate numbers. But the only place scienc

My suspicion is that since this has to do with COVID, there is no real limit on what the cost should really be. As for using the setup for other things, that seems less likely given this expensive setup.

Maybe it's just me, but i also fail to see the use of Betteridges law. But it's probably great for lengthy philosophical discussions :)

I mistook WSL with CUDA support for WSLg. For WSLg you still need Windows 11 which is disappointing.

I guess it can also be answered with a "no", so i fail to see your point.

They were also stretched to the brink under the big flu seasons of the past. But back then we didn't have many tests, which meant hospital personnel would work even when they were a little sick. Not having those people around, means th

Flagging the article is just wrong when there is merit to it. As for the vaccine preventing deaths and hospitalizations, i hope most can agree that is a fact. When that is said, then we have always had the flu which also causes many deaths

I think you're right and in vaccine discussions you see this the most I'd argue. If your way of life is changed in a way you disagree with, e.g. forced vaccine or Use of Corona passport, then discussion can get heated and the resp

Why shouldn't mask requirements, social distancing, Corona passport and all the other restrictions be a thing of the past. We're well past the first vaccine shot, this is as good as it gets. It's time to realize that.

I think that analysis is spot on, we now have a second flu-like disease, that is very similar to the flu. What remains to be done, is remove all these restrictions put in place and go back to treating Covid as we treat the flu. That include

To me the wording where "may" is used, says that it's not guaranteed that persistent impairment will happen. Then it's a matter of probability, much in the same way long-term effects of Corona is discussed. Perhaps the p

Not an American here, in principle i agree. But in reality you can't hide the fact, that limiting freedom of speech is very much in the interest of those who want full control on what we can say. A good example is the Muhammad cartoons

With about 80% of the population being fully vaccinated, the issue is more mentally than anything else. If Japan won't accept the fact that this is as good as it gets, then a logical consequence will be more or less random lockdowns an

Correct data is the foundation for making an informed decision. In this case the actual hospitalizations have been inaccurate, so that very important decisions have been made on inaccurate data. The real problem in Denmark is the inability

So don't post state secrets on SMS. I hardly think that encryption is a major issue, unless you actually have something to hide. But if Signal or a secure, universal SMS protocol could be agreed upon and used by Android and IPhone, tha
