But back then there wasn't a host of billions dollar corporations with a vested interest in maintaining public support for vaccines. Anti-vaxxers seem to have lasted just as long as vaxxers proving that at the very least both communities survive sufficiently in the face of contagious disease. And maybe that is why the debate continues to this day -- Darwin just doesn't give a fuck.
As a virus, the stupid infects new hosts to replace those that die off. It fills them with righteous indignation and sends them out to recruit like Toxoplasma gondii sends mice to find cats.Quote:

But since the thread has been scrubbed there's very little reason they shouldn't start again.

just a quicky to tell us that Countries opening up too soon, says WHO
It’s been said before but drug companies aren’t getting rich off of vaccines. Where’s all the outrage over boner pills and blood pressure medication?
You are right. But is that my fault or Darwins?Quote:

California ‘Epsilon’ strain of COVID-19 could evade vaccines, study says

It also says it was first found in May 2020, so who knows?
One of the non-specific effects of being vaccinated with Carbon SiiiC rotors is the enormous savings of moola by avoiding almost all carbon frames and parts in the future. Although I suffered an indecent amount of shame and lost Strava times with those __waffles_, I did save multiple thousands by choosing an aluminum frame (dented as it is and still 100% functional). A 2nd dose isn't even necessary :D POTENTIAL lifetime immunity!Quote:

All joking aside, a rejection of technology isn't a heritable trait, it's a product of insufficient understanding, confirmation biases, and pure ignorance; we need to avoid invoking Darwin, Natural Selection, or evolution in general in this situation.Quote:

Fake news from the fda
While this is from May, is the FDA telling me to not believe the antibody testing that we have been using for a year and established our metrics and case numbers with?Quote:

how do the mouth breathers respond to this ?
Same way they've responded to every other one: Ignore, yell, redirect onto lying bullshit.Quote:

J and J says it's vaccine produces good antibodies against delta.
https://www.jnj.com/positive-new-dat...ty-of-response
There doesn't seem to be data yet on whether the J and J protects against delta in the real world.
If I had received J and J I might be inclined to get a second shot of something, based on absolutely no data that it's necessary.
Just like they do with any other verifiable scientific information:Quote:
