@Tancrede Pouyat Exactly ?

"Rather than say 'this note is good' and 'this note is bad', it's more 'this note hasn't found its consequence yet' or 'this note is in the wrong context'." "If it feels right, then it's probably fine."

People who are skeptical of the mRNA vaccines say the COVID-19 spike protein is cytotoxic. This vaccine also uses the same spike protein? Lol

I love this meme ?

If you placed baby Einstein in a black box, fed him through an IV and allowed him no interaction with the outside world, he would not be intelligent.

If you want to stop the virus from mutating, you need to stop it from replicating, and vaccinations is by far the most effective solution for this. Resistant variants are only a problem because we're sloppily vaccinating a few and letting it spread freely through the rest of the population.

Yeah no.

We're dealing with a population of individuals, not just one individual. Less vaccinations -> less immune people -> more people infected -> more virus replications -> more mutations.

Conscientious, ambitious, industrious, high-energy, intelligent, assertive, strategic.

It requires a very specific type of personality ("the billionaire personality") – an internal factor, and/or it requires that your father is also a billionaire – an external factor.

If you're really as threat-sensitive and sober, forward-thinking of an individual as you proport to be, imagine how bad this pandemic could get if a new super-lethal mutant gets spawned. Imagine living in that world while knowing that it could've all been avoided if you weren't so afraid of needles. Talk about a loss of human rights. This isn't speculative fearmongering. This is the reality of viruses, and it's time to wake up.

That's fine, but now you shifted from talking about everybody in here to just yourself. Leo wasn't only talking about you... unless you're feeling that hit by his statement? + deal with any potential neurological damage to your olfactory system etc.

@impulse9 You might want to re-read what you just responded to.

I think you might have read that slightly wrong:

Literally 98,8% of people.

Being a billionaire requires a billionaire. Interpret that how you want

You could've just left it at this:

The Absolute doesn't negate the relative. Don't try it

Oh I know.

I used that point to demonstrate that despite your half-measures, you're still putting other people in danger considerably more than if you had taken the vaccine. It's easy to make it all about yourself when you're focused on your own life day to day, but when you collectively add up all these self-centered excuses that people deploy to rationalize doing half-measures, the sum of that is why we still have the virus in the first place. This is what lies behind the impetus for collective measures; that people generally don't care enough to voluntarily expand their circle of concern and see their place in the larger part of the puzzle. My definition of a full-measure is doing the most that you possibly can do, not what is impossible to do, and that is what you're not doing.

That is good, but remember that these are only half-measures at the end of the day. Even people who work at covid19 test stations, people who are professionally trained to follow anti-viral protocols and wear full-body anti-contamination gear, routinely get tested positive for covid19. This is actually a serious problem, because every single employee that has been in close contact with the positive employee has to be put in quarantine, which means that sometimes up to 25% of the total employees at one test station can get put in quarantine all at once, something which causes a significant shortage of workers at each shift.

Seeking is suffering. Suffering is survival. Happiness is the end of suffering. You're always in the social matrix. You can't escape it. 1. "Current humans" and "past humans" are both humans, thus humans still "created" the social matrix. 2. The social matrix is always evolving. It wasn't "invented thousands of years ago". It had always existed – it's endemic to social creatures.

Do you go to the store? Do you use the gas station? "Doing nothing" is exactly how the virus spreads.

Let's get our analogies straight. Not getting a vaccine is in the mildest case analogous to spitting in the coffee machine at work and giving everybody a cold, and in the worse case analogous to poisoning them with ricin.
