Careful there. You can only propose such surveys when it serves the narrative and in certain places and not all, see southern/eastern regions of Ukraine.
Re:Elon Musk Shares Personal Experience with Serious Vaccine Side Effects on Sunday January 22, 2023 @02:54AM (#34475335)
Remember when we were told that the vaccine’s spike protein would remain mostly in the injection site at the shoulder muscle or local lymph nodes? And only for a very limited period of time? This was by the experts.

Of course it's not a german invention. But very few people know that the germans improved upon the British ones (say that publicly and you risk being labelled a conspiracy theorist). And on and on with the chain of history. I was just trying to make a point about hypocrisy, double standards etc.

He mentions he had Covid before the vaccines came out. Are we still pretending Natural Immunity < Vaccine induced immunity?

> I had OG C19 before vaccines came out and it was basically a mild cold.

> Then had J&J vaccine with no bad effects, except my arm hurt briefly.

> I want pharma and medical innovation to be huge money makers. I want founders and early employees in companies that innovate in these spaces to be fabulously wealthy.

Sure, in an utopian world that would work. But, here on planet Earth, that would massively increase the incentives of fraud. There are already huge issues with this. Increasing the payout by x100 would do more harm than good in this context.

Imagine being lectured about the dangers of the concentration camps of other countries by … arrogant germans.

Perhaps this is already forgotten history, but for all the talk about desperate despots the US is still actually the only country to have ever used nuclear bombs in combat, twice. On civilian cities mind you. And the circumstances were anything but desperate for them.

> I have trouble with the idea that all of the members of this group – the mainstream media – whose membership is so ambiguous, could establish a shared agenda.

> If you’ve ever worked for a big company, you know how many different people work there, all with different opinions, different goals, different everything. News agencies are no different.

> Multiply that by the sheer number of news agencies, and add in the tight and unforgiving deadlines and you can see how improbable a broad, coordinated agenda would be.

When interests converge you don’t need to gather around a table to set the agenda, as George Carlin used to say.

You can’t make this up. Then they wonder how/why the people lost the trust in the institutions.
