This may sound odd but I would recommend a trade that cannot be easily replaced by AI. Something like an electrician or roofer. Then try to get an apprenticeship with an older professional and learn as much as you can. Skip college completely and just start a business instead. You will be so much better off financially compared to say, a lawyer who will be in debt for a while and who’s job is about to be made obsolete by AI.
Yeah where have I heard that before? Oh yes, it was “at least once a year for the past three decades”.
The story of the little boy that cried wolf comes to mind…
Dodd Frank did away with bail outs. It will be a “bail in” using customer deposits this time around.
I guess I was fooled by the exact wording you used like the parent poster. Was there any particular reason for that?
Seriously.. we should censor medical doctors posting peer reviewed studies on Twitter. Now THAT is my kind of freedom.
Copy and pasting the parent post? Or are you just admitting to the world that you’re a bot account
>If you are concerned about "white-phobia", consider the difference between punching up and punching down.
Let me guess, you 100% _do not_ consider yourself a racist
> In fact conservatives often go the length and argue against the very existence of transgender people, offering violence as a solution.
They _often_ do, do they? I follow some conservatives on the socials and they rarely argue against the existence of transgenders and, exactly never, offer violence as a solution. Or is this the argument that speech is violence? Which is complete nonsense of course.
What they seem to have a problem with is drag shows claiming to be kid friendly where drag queens are twerking near children as their parents encourage them to put dollar bills in the drag queens’ thongs.
Or giving puberty age children the same drugs that sex predator inmates take to chemically castrate them in order to permanently alter their hormones.
This already-tired argument again.
Vaccines for influenza have been around for decades. The first covid shot was the first ever mRNA technology ever approved for human use.
Now the booster doesn’t simply swap out strains. It moves from a monovalent to a bivalent (original formula plus the Omicron Ba4/Ba5 formula) and we shouldn’t test it? The first ever bivalent mRNA vaccine. Deployed to everyone on the planet. With absolutely no human testing done.
If you’re okay with it, that’s great… that’s your personal choice to trust corrupt health authorities and for-profit vaccine manufacturers. Let me know how it goes.
No, they have not tested bivalent COVID-19 vaccines in large human trials. The best we have right now are some antibody titers results from 8 mice.
Oh that’s for sure. You know that this is the case when the Omicron Ba4/Ba5 booster alone had higher antibody response (on mice, not humans. Humans weren’t even tested) than the EUA authorized bivalent booster which combines old and new formulas.
No, this is wrong.
The recent “5 times higher deaths for the unvaccinated!!!” headline was a study the CDC cited that used predictive models to make the claim that you’re more likely to die being unvaccinated. They put a number on it of 5 times but it’s just estimates of what could happen, not what did happen.
There are no numbers that exist to back up your claim. Or post away with a source if you think it’s real.
I think you misspelled “unknown” and it came out as “overwhelming”.
All jokes aside, the only benefit of this booster was seen in wildly inconsistent antibody levels of 8 mice. It has never been tested on humans.
Call this exactly what it is, “the untested Omicron booster”.
Approved just in time for everyone to already have gotten Omicron and thus have natural immunity.
The same “antivaxers” that elected to take the Lymerix vaccine, were injured and then fought to stop others from also being injured?
The profoundly idiotic weaponized use of the word antivaxer will be an embarrassment for decades to come.
“Damn antivaxers!”
“But they have all their recommended vaccinations and only were injured with myocarditis on their second COVID Booster”.
“…damn antivaxers!”
>fears of vaccine side-effects
Actual vaccine side effects and law suits. They settled for millions.
Here we go again… yes I want my debilitating arthritis to come from the vaccine instead of the actual infection like what happened with Lymerix. Eye roll
>This new candidate is different from a previous Lyme vaccine that GlaxoSmithKline pulled off the market in 2002 amid controversy and low sales.
Missing a rather significant statement here: controversy and low sales because it gave people Lyme Disease that did not have it previously.
I see Kristian Andersen on the author list. This is the same Kristian Andersen that told Fauci in an email that the virus was inconsistent with evolution. Meaning it was likely created in a lab. Quite the “about-face” to say something like that and then contribute to a paper with the opposite stance. Did they kidnap his kids or something?
There is also no mention whatsoever of the furin cleavage site which kind of kills the credibility of this paper.
Damned crazy conspiracy theorists! And their nutjob lab leak nonsense!
Oh wait they were right?
“Herd immunity is the protection of an individual from infection by virtue of the other members of the population being incapable of transmitting the virus to that individual. Herd immunity can be achieved by immunizing a population with a vaccine that interrupts transmission, such as the live, attenuated polio vaccine, but not with a vaccine that does not interrupt transmission, such as the killed polio vaccine.”
Review of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 13th Edition. by Warren Levinson. Page 259.
The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines do not contribute to herd immunity because they do not confer immunity. They don’t prevent transmission nor infection, hence herd immunity is not attainable from these vaccines alone.
Many examples here but “97% of hospital admissions are unvaccinated” was a complete fabrication. Basically they used statistics from when 97% of the population was unvaccinated and kept using them for months longer than they should have. When that wasn’t feasible anymore, they started counting unknown vaccination status as unvaccinated to keep the 97% lie going.
Ironically select ICUs report 90% of their cases are from fully vaccinated now.
There is no herd immunity in play with anyone vaccinated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Please remove that from your vocabulary when referencing the vaccines for one reason: they do not provide immunity and never have. Hence there is not and will not be herd immunity from vaccinations alone.
Please, spreading this nonsense does not help anyone. You are lying which makes you look bad (or if you think it’s actually true, it makes you look stupid).
Except they would have shown up earlier if it was COVID-19 infections driving this rather than vaccinations driving it. Timing matters here.
I realize this might be a shock… But vaccines fail all the time. Their immunity wanes, they cause adverse events and sometimes they spawn rogue strains like what happened with Polio.
BTW we have a case study unfolding real time on restricting people’s travel based on vaccination status. As the COVID-19 vaccine does not prevent transmission, infection or spread, it was a complete disaster. Meanwhile unvaccinated people with natural immunity who don’t spread were unfairly punished for noncompliance.
Oh you didn’t like this one?
“To achieve herd immunity, 60% of the population must be vaccinated”
Next interview, 65%. Next interview, 70%. Then 75%
While knowing the entire time that herd immunity is impossible with a leaky vaccine.
Top answer IMO.
Substituting drugs, alcohol, shopping, cutting yourself, etc, it’s all the same root cause which is hiding somewhere deep inside yourself. Either do the work to find out what that root cause is or be held hostage by it. Took decades for me to figure it out for myself. Well, the process took decades to play out. Once the root cause was dealt with, improvement was instantaneous.
