"Among women who were highly liberal, 62 percent were carriers of certain receptor genotypes that have previously been associated with such traits as extroversion and novelty seeking. Meanwhile, among highly conservative women, the proportion was only 37.5 percent." Does anyone know how likely are kids ro inherit those receptors from parents? 35 minutes ago, Hardkill said: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/280677/ I'm too sleepy I'll read the second one tomorrow. 35 minutes ago, Hardkill said: Yeah it is.

Posted January 9, 2022 can someone who usually takes/took all vaccines but not a covid-19 vaccine be called an anti-vaxxer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2022 Just another person, I feel indifferent to them. I got the shot so I don't worry, but I also don't really care what other people do with their bodies. I don't know how I feel about the issues at hand, so I can't put myself in a position to demonize, but I am pro-vax. My concern is, when and how is all this going to end?

That's also just for myocarditis. Notice the differences for pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmia (0% for vaccine vs. 0.0006% for infection, and ~ 0.0010% vs. ~ 0.25%). The statistic I gave for all age groups is also still valid. Intrinsic joy is revealed in the marriage of meaning and being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2022 @Danioover9000 I generally dislike definitions. Definitions often don't capture the complexity of the categories they try to describe, certainly not when it comes to human behavior. People also don't fall neatly into categories. There is an anti-vaxxer inside all of us. Intrinsic joy is revealed in the marriage of meaning and being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
