I think it's pretty clear that the patients who died from the vaccine didn't go into a DIC-like state. If your point is that COVID19 is related to coa...

I've seen a lot of COVID patients throw clots into the lungs, heart, and brain. I've never seen one do that with thrombocytopenia. In fact I've never ...

So you're saying these women were more likely to die of this weird syndrome without the vaccine than with. I don't have the figures in front of me, bu...

It's ok.

It wasn't, by the way. I actually googled "trail data". lol There was a website about national parks.

:up: The people who have died from the syndrome so far probably would have done well with a COVID19 infection. They were young, healthy women. You're ...

:up:

I was genuinely interested in your statement that normal safety measures weren't taken. I remember the articles you cited, so I'm disregarding your co...

I think you need to read that info a little more closely. Some people developed low platelets, some had thrombosis. This isn't the kind of thing we ju...

Both German and Norwegian scientists have identified a mechanism by which the Astra-Zeneca vaccine triggers an autoimmune response which can be fatal....

It's on hold in some European countries due to coagulation issues. The high efficacy of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines reflects when their testing to...

What's trail data? They tested it the same way the always test vaccines. You said it was lacking normal safety precautions.

Hospital CEOs will probably see increased pay.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines didn't take any short cuts in testing. Three phases, same statistical approach they always use. What more did you want...

Do you decide therefore to go unvaccinated?

Frankenstein is an image of the power of science. It signifies a fear that we don't have the wisdom to use that power.

I transplanted a pretty weed from the park to my house and it turned out to be a highly invasive plant from Japan called knotweed. I spent a couple of...

I meant except for you.

This is a fatalistic attitude that neoliberals across the world invested heavily in: the notion that it's just inevitable, it's nature, no other syste...

I'll start with the short one. Thanks!

Cool. That sounds like a good book. I'll put it on my list.

So his philosophy is phenomenology?

I endorse this: There's a bias against accepting that we're equipped with a kind of faith. Faith has the same relationship to doubt as the eternal has...

:up: :up:

There's a gnostic myth that in heaven all questions are answered. It's our origin and our ultimate destination.

Like a mental placeholder?

I understand. Uncertainty always has some kind of certainty nearby. Global skepticism is just an idea, rather than something people experience. Once y...

When a person lets go of a delusion, is it just the wrong beliefs that change? Or does everything change because all beliefs hang together? Sometimes ...

I took the Pfizer vaccine in December even though I was a little freaked out by the technology. But I work in ICU, so I had a good reason.

:100: Click the smiley face on the top right.

I can't imagine it would be hard to forge one. My local health department was just giving out cards and they let recipients fill them in.

Then you're probably definitely in Bill Gates territory. Unless you're taking the Russian one?

Dolly Parton?

I don't know if the Gates Foundation helped with the Atra Zeneca vaccine. It was partially funded by the US government, though. So not just your taxes...

Is the money just appearing out of nowhere?

Bill Gates helped fund the development of the vaccines. I guess that's where the theory comes from.

Oh. So it makes me important to Bill Gates, as opposed to just being nobody. Of course! They throw us bones to keep things quiet.

Oh, sorry. I'll head out here. But you agree he dropped out of a language game when he questioned the existence of the bartender?

I don't think anyone is being discriminated against, are they?

Buy they're just average people. The anti-vaccination thing has been on my mind because I visited with a friend and her relatives informed that the in...

Quick question: Jack Torrence is delusional. He sees a bartender who isn't there. If he questions the existence of the bartender, is he abandoning a p...

I think that's supposed to ease the stringency of the saying so as to avoid offending rich Christians. The Jesus cult was very anti-establishment, so ...

Yep. Some people have calcified brains. They serve a function in human life.

It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

It would probably take a change in cognition to know it, as opposed to just saying it.

Make a faster than light communication system? But yes, the LONC could be wrong. Or right and wrong at the same time. :up:

I'm not fighting anything, man. Just philosophizing. So you don't pick freedom, you have no choice. Um. But weren't you pointing out the folly of soci...

Capitalists. Oscar Mayer, for instance. Or the british and french bankers who laughed at the stupid Russian workers, until 1917.

They made cultural wastelands of every place they touched. I don't think that's what you want.

This is true. Socialism tends to obstruct the plans of the most motivated, who can morph into exploiters in the right circumstances. Socialism creates...
