The medical advice was vaccinate a minimum of 70% of the population for the population to gain protection from the virus. The ethical matter is whethe...

Empirical observations from local nurses. Human nature is fairly consistent when it comes to avoiding discomfort. I demonstrated this on this thread w...

Edited to taste.

You had me up to the conclusion. Perhaps there is no perfect source of knowledge; which so happens to include logic. It doesn't mean logic is an unrel...

No, sometimes scientific rigor is out paced by pragmatic urgency. In fact, they may be taking more time knowing it doesn't limit access.

I don't know what the BLA is or what it's approval entails. I do know fringe media outlets are profiteering off selling the conspiracy excitement of c...

By the same logic we can all doubt. Proving the capacity for inquiry doesn't speak to the state of affairs. Because I was speculating I selected the n...

The rate of increase in marginal safety between approved/unapproved for public disbursement seems fairly exponential; increases following that I assum...
August 10, 2021 at 13:32
There is the common sense of information and then there is a sense of information that is speculated about on the forum. Ergo, speculative sense of in...
August 10, 2021 at 13:08
It's deduced from the argument structure. Safety in regards to the threshold for public disbursement was met; safety beyond this threshold is literall...
August 10, 2021 at 03:16
You are arguing for marginal safety on principle. That's like proving that time passes.

Nah, God is usually just the executive function being confused by the inner dialectic for an external master. Really, it sits and passively facilitate...

Bit inductive. How much good can you really do during a 100 billion year heat death followed by hawking radiation. By the exact same logic infinite/lo...

Information and the speculative sense of information.

The first person history of being you. People present with multiple identities and the difference is an unshared history.

Glad you are not at the FAA. Vertigo is a thing.

He's been life long guide. I wouldn't be on a philosophy website without Popper. Insists on things making sense; it's refreshing.

While in the UK.

Like I said; honest. Yes, if you exclude virus transmission of the highly transmissible virus. Then, the analysis maintains.
August 08, 2021 at 19:08
Yes, turns out we were discussing different populations relative to you.
August 08, 2021 at 18:42
I don't have the luxury of imagining a 90% uptake. I guess you win the vaccine lottery, by residing in a place with a social duty of care. We have idi...
August 08, 2021 at 18:30
What qualifies as 'over' mathematically; fails to pragmatically. We are agreeing though...it does.
August 08, 2021 at 18:22
The good doctor just said 70%; seemed like a reasonable source. People that breath air?
August 08, 2021 at 18:20
So, what is the correct figure derived from the same number? Undecidable if deemed unpleasant? Simply have to measure the behavior patterns of the ent...
August 08, 2021 at 18:12
There's a 70% chance you ought take it, based on your citation concerning the number of people who should take it. I know you know that; I read your s...
August 08, 2021 at 17:58
The factor is being a member of the population without medically specified exception. Self-interest doesn't qualify. Want me to run the numbers? Or is...
August 08, 2021 at 17:48
Why is it your special? You can behave in a way that simulates a vaccine?
August 08, 2021 at 17:45
At least @Book273 is honest.
August 08, 2021 at 17:44
I think I can simplify the matter. If 70% ought take it, then what is the expected value that you should also take it?
August 08, 2021 at 17:33
I'm sorry all of your words have the incorrect senses.
August 08, 2021 at 17:01
Perhaps not. Doesn't support your repeated claim of having made a reasonable inference. It is; and seems deliberate apart from this near pivot. Well, ...
August 08, 2021 at 16:36
I acknowledge a proper level of obfuscation has been achieved. Good job?
August 08, 2021 at 16:24
It doesn't require research.
August 08, 2021 at 16:23
General knowledge that vaccines that harm 30% are not released to the public. Common knowledge. Rational thought. It is an unreasonable inference; you...
August 08, 2021 at 16:16
Alright. We won't arrive at an agreement as long as we disagree with this point. I'm satisfied with that much.
August 08, 2021 at 16:06
Please repeat this unreasonable comment again. The pandemic that doesn't seem to be ending due to lack of uptake of gd preventive tool demonstrates th...
August 08, 2021 at 16:03
I cited your source of 70% uptake. It is 70% need to take it or choose as each individual sees fit. Data suggest 70% is the better guide post.
August 08, 2021 at 15:57
Your inference regarding my statement was absurd. Which is understandable when maintaining an untenable position. But, to say I'm suggesting is almost...
August 08, 2021 at 15:50
I'd expect better obfuscation from a tenured poster. I've rested my case.
August 08, 2021 at 14:42
August 08, 2021 at 14:37
Your response didn't make sense. You stated the population wouldn't feel the side effects; ignoring the population includes a majority that also takes...
August 08, 2021 at 14:07
Agreed. People not likely to be injured from a vaccine is how I would make a determination. In order to allow for the 30% that either can't take it or...
August 08, 2021 at 13:58
How many people should take the vaccine. In your opinion?
August 08, 2021 at 05:14
Is this the product of determining the standards for utterance? The posters account is in English and follows a consistent theme. Faking bewilderment ...
August 08, 2021 at 02:52
Yes. A lot of what we know is what people tell us and some of it isn't correct. Equal in the sense of a subjective experience. Absolute accurate accou...
August 08, 2021 at 01:59
Yes, from my perspective, it seems your implying being subject to error implies everything is an error. Which is absurd. How could we be wrong about e...
August 08, 2021 at 01:19
So, the assumption of 1 bottle is an error. Then, an explanation of an eye condition was needed to account for the difference. Yes, information is sub...
August 08, 2021 at 00:52
I just know the speed of light is a measure of resistance, so something going faster isn't resisted. Yeah, everything is aware and we're like a node. ...
August 08, 2021 at 00:36
To me it's whatever informs the spin of an entangled particle when another is observed. It travels faster than light so it isn't going through our spa...
