I never understood perspectives akin to "why would I want to add years to my life when I'll just be old anyways?". I think many people don't realize that if you take care of your body (especially eating well and movement

if you can acquire 0.0006USD worth of bitcoin then the price of bitcoin alone is not a limiting factor. Maybe if OP is talking about hundreds of years in the future and BTC is worth $1 Million+?

the link I posted was to provide a list of known vaccine adverse reaction events throughout history to show that none of them occurred months after vaccination. Adverse events are almost always acute so the fact that we haven't seen wi

we are not talking about new drugs in general - we are talking specifically about vaccines. Here is an opportunity to easily prove your point: show me significant examples of serious side effects from vaccines 6+ months after they were admi

by shlant 6y ago
although we do not have data yet to show if there are any side effects 1+ years after vaccination, it would be very unlikely that there would be. Serious side effects from vaccines are almost always immediate and seen within a few weeks aft

intellectual property is one reason[1] but for the mRNA vaccines, the technology/machinery required to mass produce them is also part of the bottleneck along with raw materials[2] 1. https://theconversation.com/how-pate

I'm open to it. How would you suggest we go about it?

by shlant 6y ago
I think you could make the argument it wasn't a coup, but you'd have a hard time making any meaningful points. To say that "people trespassed and vandalized, but that is about it" however, is a gross mischaracterization.

"The consumer is completely to blame" is definitely ridiculous. "As a consumer I have no responsibility in what products I choose to buy" is equally ridiculous.

I think "a lot of research" is not actually accurate. Eat a varied diet with enough calories, make sure you are getting enough b12 from either supplementation or in fortified foods and when in doubt use a nutrition tracker like Cr

> I wonder if vegans can drink human milk Not sure what you mean by this. Are you asking if human milk is considered vegan? > So not all stages of development I guess. Almost all of the most reputable health organisations disagree[1]

like what? can you elaborate?

I think instead of "skeptical" you should say "not assume you are automatically getting the nutrients they need". There is no need for "skepticism" - a well planned vegan diet is healthy at all stages of develo

protein is 4 calories per gram (same as carbs). Fibre content has a big effect on satiety. Fat is 9 calories per gram. Fat is incredibly easy to over-consume by the very nature of it being more calorically dense and having very little fibre

are you saying that private entities don't get to choose what products to cease production of? Once you start producing a product, you are obligated to continue indefinitely?
