Oh, military service is compulsory for 18 & 19 year olds in Russia. They're probably telling the truth that they don't want to be there and were forced. No wonder this isn't going so well for Russia. If America tried to attack Canada with drafted 18 year olds, that wouldn't work.

It is slander.
Did you give them screenshots of where the patent specifically mentions "mRNA Vaccination"? If not, that might convince them to retract it?

The average person's taxes aren't higher in most universal healthcare countries.
What we pay per capita for medicare, medicaid, and military health care alone covers 100% of the population everywhere else.

Capitalism is not "maximizing people's ability to exchange services." Capitalism is using wealth and power to create more wealth and power, over and over again, till Nestle can buy politicians to help them steal your local drinking water supply to sell you the water.

My favorite is when google "helps" by REMOVING words from your search (they even show it by crossing a line through it), so you have to put them in quotation marks to get them back.

As an American, this is shameful. Why is a US embassy trying to egg on a potential thermonuclear war with juvenile insults on twitter?
We need diplomacy and de-escalation now, not low-quality war propaganda videos.

The "covid is a hoax" belief has made doctors the enemy in the eyes of the believers. It's like some sort of belief-induced personality disorder, or maybe the personality disorder existed first and increases the risk of the belief. Hard to say. (1/2)

Also in TN here, and I feel your pain.
We in the south are just going to have to operate on the assumption that what's happening in the rest of the country is also happening here, just undetected/unreported to the public.
@EricTopol
We're in a state of emergency here in the south, even if our governments aren't declaring it. We are failing to "flatten the curve." ERs are overflowing. We're out of ICU beds and transferring patients 500+ miles north.
And CDC, state, and federal government are just...chillin.

The idea that covid is airborn was actually considered crazycakes for a while, and it took a shamefully long period of time for the consensus to catch up with the evidence.
Criminalizing dissent in medical science is just a fantastically awful idea all around.
@AmiDar
Boeing might have just murdered a whistleblower. In the US whistleblowers face the death sentence, so the chilling effect is more effective than killing "covertly" a lot of the time.
I think this is a good way of looking at it.

Another outbreak, similar (but with 91% vaccine coverage)...

@silvia_hirschi
They've given up on the herd immunity argument.
They are basically panicking now. ~95% down to ~50% is quite a dip in effectiveness. They might be quietly wondering if it could creep into the negative effectiveness numbers eventually without a booster.
@CDCgov
Seasonal flu is "a serious situation."
Pandemic coronavirus is the biggest global public health *emergency* since the 1918 flu pandemic.
It's very unlikely to be eradicated via quarantine at this point.

In epidemiology, you look at it from all angles to get a complete picture of what's going on.
"Deaths per million population" is a VERY important, telling metric. For countries that don't test except in hospitals, a high "death per million" number will demonstrate lots of cases.

@factcheckdotorg
I don't think factcheck is going to be a reliable source on this topic at all.
I think the research is clear that the damage is worse than one school of immunology thought would have you believe, tho it's obviously not as bad as the most extreme covid doomsdayers think it is.
@dwallacewells
Great article!
Regarding this point, it would have been nice if you'd mentioned that the "international team" was mostly the same little group who have been insisting it was a market spillover from the beginning, wrote those overconfident ("dispositive") articles early on, etc.

If you search the 1989 patent for "mRNA vaccination," you see it is indeed in there, and as far as I can find, it was the first one. It demonstrated "proof of concept."
@MackayIM
@factcheckdotorg
The issue has primarily been driven by the t-cell immunologists who detected the immunosuppressive effects much earlier in the pandemic. Then there's another group of immunologists who refused to even address the evidence other than calling it hogwash and hand waving it away. 1/

Westerns are just not supposed to know many of the relevant details needed to understand these conflicts. It's always been like this. Basically NOTHING was known about the East Timor genocide (pre internet)
They want us ignorant again. Debate cures ignorance. Debate's forbidden.
@RWMaloneMD
If they've seen it, then this line "While this paper is an example of his important contribution to the then-emerging field, it does not make him the inventor of mRNA vaccines" is DEMONSTRABLY libel according to law, and you really can sue them, if you can demonstrate the damage.

Bond traders are forecasting inflation as a result of too much government spending on sewage systems in the global south. Can we use democracy to liberalize the markets for backyard outhouses in some countries in South America?

What a lot of folks are *actually* mad at them about is them being right about Russiagate, I'm pretty sure.
If they had toed the line there, none of this would be an issue.
@Gab_H_R
I try to keep all plausible scenarios in mind as things unfold, from best case to worst case. While none of the *absolute* worst case ones have happened, it's averaging *closer* to worst case than to best case, overall. It's been unrelenting since Delta emerged.

Doesn't that vary widely disease by disease, and vaccine by vaccine?

Some of these folks won't get the vaccine because the tech is a little freaky, but they'll take antibodies generated by what are (I'm pretty sure) transgenic human-mouse hybrids (mice genetically modified with human DNA to have human immune systems).
It's a funny old world.
