There is a simple fact about the current Anglophone manipulation of the infection.
Vaccines are a synthetic replacement for the natural protection that nature has developed over thousands of years. They are not dangerous and less are more effective, but they offer a great potential for profit, which is not available with God's work.But that potential for profit is a good thing
Changed a few things and I think I fixed what you wrote. Lemme know! Don't know why you have this massive hard on about hating vaccines. There's literally nothing wrong with vaccines. And yes, there is a profit motive for people who take the time to research all of these vaccines -- that's a GOOD THING, they make sure that we have the best research available. No one is going to want to develop these things without a profit incentive.

Been keeping an eye on schools in NY, because they seemed like the only area in the US where a partially successful reopen would be able to be achieved. Though it seems like certain groups (teachers unions) aren't onboard with the way NYC school district is planning to reopen, and has pretty much forced the mayors office to push the opening back another two weeks. I think what they're doing is fair, given the fact that MAYOR DEBLASIOS plan was horrible and that's to be expected with the way he operates. For reference, NYC Schools were supposed to start on the 12th and they've been pushed back to opening on the 24th? (approximate dates, not fully sure) Outside of K12 though, it seems like most colleges in NY are doing a good job (minus SUNY ONEOTNA) at testing students and trying to enforce the precautions that they've set forth. For anyone that hasn't already heard, SUNY ONEONTA is a state school in NY and just today announced that they're shutting down because they have too many cases. Pretty sure they have like 350 cases already, which is partially from the school not testing people before moving in. We'll see if this trend continues in the state and in other states schools that reopening now. Crazy shit to say the least. https://www.syracuse.com/coronavirus/2020/09/suny-oneonta-reports-nearly-400-coronavirus-cases.htmlhttps://twitter.com/WNYT/status/1301577594542882822?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

It's training your immune cells to recognize viruses and kill them.
So why not wait until you are infected with the real virus, and not some synthetic variant. That will give you better protection, and avoid the side effects. This is going to depend on how the vaccine works. If there's a 99% chance of success the antibodies will be produced within 3 weeks, there's a chance they can wait until symptoms develop since most people don't die in the first two weeks of having symptoms afaik. Taking a vaccine once infected isn't normally recommended unless it's a booster (for example tetinus can be taken straight after an open wound comes into contact with rust because it forces the immune system to remember the last dose it had).
I don't understand the prospective you think vaccines don't work - a lot of them have an 80+% success rate (the flu vaccine arguably doesn't work) but you're better off looking into the process of production for the patent exempt vaccines and looking at the ingredients contained within - most are just a vitus in a pool of amine based salts. The whole point of a vaccine is that your immune system and blood destroy everything within a few weeks. You probably pick up more dangerous stuff from walking around with a cut on your hand or walking with a blister/cut on your barefoot (something everyone's probably done). Yeah, not sure why Jet Cash has this hard problem understanding why we use vaccines. We use them so we don't have to DIE or people HORRIBLY ILL from getting sick with the real virus. That's like asking the question, why would you take the polio vaccine when you can just get it? Vaccines have a high success rate, no one is going to try to peddle some bullshit on you that doesn't work. That's not something that would've gotten FDA approval. If people don't want to take certain vaccines because they've have side effects from them that outweigh the benefits of not having the illness itself, then I have no problem at all with that (think of the FLU for example) but people just making up bullshit excuses to avoid a vaccine just because is no real reason.

Most governments have become (or perhaps they always were) a lot like publicly-traded corporations - looking for short-term gains only. Next quarterly report, next election, etc. Not looking at what happens in 50+ years. Mostly it's our own fault for electing them based on the populist-idea-of-the-day and not on what the country would look like for our grandchildren.
Amazingly it's happening not only in Europe but in the US as well, despite it being a largely successful example of a nation of immigrants (some sketchy bits of history along the way of course but still). I think those few countries that are more open to immigration will benefit in the long term at the cost of some pain in the short-to-medium term but it's an impossible idea to sell to the general public.
Having said that, taking on all refugees is more complicated than regular immigration when e.g. the host country would typically pick and choose by setting requirements for age, education, etc. And there is also the fear of encouraging even more migration by making it easier to move to wealthy countries.
In the age of news being 24/7 and always BREAKING NEWS, politicans have to ensure that everytime their consituents see them in the news the optics of what their talking about must be good. Planning for the future and reigning in on debt is not something that people care about. They want swift change that is far reaching and fixes all their problems. They love people who can talk the talk, but they never get anyone into office who truly cares about them. Short and medium term immigration does truly hurt some nations who are already facing issues in regards to wage increase issues (as more supply into the labor market is going to bring wages down) and then there's some thoughts about the safety net programs and if they're allowed to be utilized by immigrants (that's a country to country issue) But long term, yes, immigration is good. Most people don't really look at the long term though, they're just looking at if they can pay their own bills. Much easier to sell people a dream then a society that'll work in the long term, lol.

+1 to that. It's a weird song and I don't really understand people liking Cardi B that much as a singer / performer, but that's on other people I guess. Not a big fan of todays music. But yeah, also WEIRD for Biden to be doing an interview with someone who has casually confirmed that she has drugged and raped men -- and everyone just let her keep doing what she's doing.

"It’s amazing that the media can go from insisting that voter fraud doesn’t exist to screaming about it when President Trump points out the giant holes in the Democrats’ voting schemes.”He's gone and done something so stupid that nobody but him could get away with it and it surprised me yet again. Impressive. Trump has done it again. Said some really stupid shit that keeps people moving from story to story. We don't even have enough time to stay angry at him for one thing because by the time you actually research the topic and know enough about it to want to talk about - it's all done, the story is over and it's time to move on to another piece of BREAKING NEWS. Information overload is a LARGE PART of their playback. They'll continue to have stories blasted on you everyday so you're unable to even know what's true, what's false, and never have enough time to research anything before it's OLD NEWS already. So, a gun battle is a good example of why police officers should shoot unarmed people in the back? The police even admitted that they knew he was unarmed and that there was no firearm in the car. It's just a big fucking shame that police in the U.S. has to be that trigger happy.
He's a troll... No real reason to respond to him. I remember my first real interaction with a police officer ever, when I was about 14 years old. I was riding bikes outside with my friends when a cop pulled up and asked us what we were doing. Obviously we responded we were just riding our bikes around, but he was irritated that there were kids out in general. He asked in a displeased voice, "Why aren't you in school??" I responded, "Because its Saturday!" Which it was. Cops (in the U.S. at least) aren't very bright and most take the job because they look forward to being able to use their power, not because they actually care about the general safety of the public. This is the impression I got from most cops I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with, but by no means is it all cops, of course. Point is an overhaul of the entire police system wouldn't be a bad thing. I've seen it both ways. Actually ran into a "bad cop" once, guy was using my parking lot for staking out some target didn't even ask. Called the FBI and tracked his plates down, then went out and had a little chat. Real serious attitude problem with that dude. But then I've seen a situation where cops handling a couple of kids a neighbor called in for suspicion of burglary, studiously avoid the bag of weed on the ground just a few feet away. They would up taking one of them off for a traffic ticket (the burglary thing was false). I always wondered who came back for the bag. Countless other situations they have dull days filled with nonsense, like giving out traffic tickets. Yup, but that's how life is though ya know? By chance you could interact with a piece of shit cop and that's the one that you'll remember. But you'll OBVIOUSLY forget the regular cops who didn't really do anything to you that is that memorable.

as for the rise in cases guess what folks idiots went to work and school and didnt follow the personal space respect advice. then they went to protests where it spread to a extremely high r0 number because instead of just meeting a couple people in close proximity a week. they would be shoulder to shoulder with dozens of people in coughing range thus 9 can turn to 89 in a week. turning to 800 within a fortnight,
yep being moshpit close to 9 people for a few hours. is a sure fire way that those 9 will get a megadose of your cough. high enough viral load to make them sick too
Yeah, we had a lot of people that openly disregarded the whole push to stay inside as much as possible. You had people protesting, some localities never really closing so restuarants and stuff stayed open, people still working, tons of people at beaches, kids still partying, and all of that. It's crazy that we're still facing this problem at the moment, colleges all across the US have opened - in even areas where there is a high likelihood of them having to close down soon because of a LARGE amount of cases. Imagine that? Putting tons of young adults together and thinking that they're going to listen to every little directive that you set out for them They're KIDS. They're going to want to fuck like rabbits and drink a ton and blast music and be in large groups. I think it truly was a bad idea to open schools in many places, especially at the college level where you're also LIVING with these other people.

Maybe some people just didn't want to accept it at that point though, they were happier just lying to themselves and saying that all was well.

He has been said to have brandished a knife, and officers can be heard telling him to drop the knife. Is that something that you're trying to dispute?
I'd wait for a more thorough investigation on that part. There are conflicting reports whether he had a knife on him or had a knife in his car. I don't think a knife is visible in the video - both his hands seem to be empty - but it's too blurry to say for sure. https://abcnews.go.com/US/family-investigators-police-offer-starkly-views-jacob-blake/story?id=72675684You're right probably best to lay off on that for now. Seems like the police union and the officers on scene are saying that a knife was found, which would justify the force. While family lawyers (the Blake family) are disputing that and saying that it isn't true. In the video you can see something shiny in Blakes hand, though that has the chance of being car keys or a knife. So we'll have to wait a bit on that. Even after an investigation though, I'm assuming that people aren't going to trust it on both sides. We're expecting LEO's to say that he had a knife though, and that would make this shooting make a bit more sense. If no knife, I don't see a reason for this.

Just as a little update to all of this, Russia is continuing its campaign to hate the West with the following news report that was put out yesterday in Reuters.
A Russian official is saying that the Western world (in this case Britian, USA, and the rest of Europe) is now following their example and approving drugs before they've been fully tested. While I don't fully agree with his statements, as the US (FDA) and the British equivalent is only letting their vaccines go through IF they are shown to be safe and such, even if they're being fast tracked. Seems like Russia isn't following this same approach though, doubt that their vaccine is going to work at all.
They even named the thing Sputnik, an obvious jab at the US. Like what the fuck?

Going to assume that the 20% think it's too batshit given the fact that most of the speaking time was given to people with the Trump name. There are still many Republicans who back Trump reluctantly but still want to see some other prominent republicans speaking.
Could've put Ted Cruz, Lindsey Grahm, Marco Rubio, and so on to at least put some typical GOP names into the convention. The convention was WEIRD. Who the hell wants to listen to all of his children speak about him? They're not the best source of info, and I doubt they have much pull over votes in swing areas that are needed.
Little too batshit for me....
I think I may have lost all sense of scale of this craziness over the last 4 years. Nothing seems too batshit to me about Trump. If he had Stormy Daniels at the RNC praising his mushroom I'd have been only mildly surprised. As for Lil' Marco et al... I think that despite their best efforts to get on Trump's wagon he still holds a grudge against them for the 2016 primary. Oh he totally still holds a grudge against them for 2016, but I wouldn't understand why he can't remember that it was a very competitive time for everyone. Obviously everyone is going to be throwing jabs at one another over it, that's just how politics works. I think him and Ted Cruz, even if there was the most vicious of fighters, became friendly later on as they did share many similarities on policy. But yes, I think the whole -- flood the news with craziness is a Trump strategy to keep our brains filled with so much stuff that we can't even pay attention to breaking news anymore. Is any news breaking news if all news is breaking news? LOL.

Did you watch the 10 minutes of him on the ground or not? Assuming they did not. Because even if some is going through a manic episode due to the use of drugs, that does NOT in anyway justify putting your KNEE and your ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT on someones neck. No one has an issue with restraining someone who is manic and is a threat to those around them. But people do have an issue with what happened in that video which CAUSED the death of Floyd. Right? Putting it into words doesn't come close to accurately portraying how fucked up the situation was. Assuming anyone defending the cop actually watched it was my bad. Reminds me of the Mueller report. Agreed. The only way to notice the full effect of how horrible this situation is. You listen to a grown man yell for his dead mother for help, he's telling officers that he can't breathe, bystanders are saying that he is going to die. I'm not going to say that George Floyd was a great guy or anything like that. He was not. But that doesn't mean he should just be killed by an police officer for a victimless crime that he was alleged to have committed (pretty sure it was counterfeit currency, a $20 bill?) I would say all of that was fine, the way I would expect a cop to behave. So then it dispels this myth that they were out there to harm him or evil spirited from the start. ... At this point all I can say is you should really go back and watch again, and try to forget about anything related to politics, or BLM, or anyone elses response or even the fact that he ended up dead. Just watch and listen and ask yourself if what the cop is doing should be considered acceptable in your society. No point in going back and forth anymore. Most foreigners who watch the George Floyd murder as a gut reaction would think "wow what a nasty, brutish place" regarding the United States, it's just not how you would expect a cop to behave... In USA cops take steroids, train in MMA and dirty fighting, are deliberately selected from people who score low on IQ tests, and they seem to love to engage with the public brutally whenever an opportunity presents itself... In Europe and other places you might see cops struggling to restrain common criminals which sometimes makes them look funny or incompetent, but those scenes are far more humanizing than the pure atmosphere of dread that encounters with the American police usually entail... Law and order in a society are clearly broken and there is something fundamentally flawed with the system, when police force feels entitled to use lethal techniques for petty crimes that are even forbidden in combat sports, and all of this somehow is sanctioned by a for-profit justice system, and is funded by taxpayers money; it makes the US society look highly totalitarian and stupidly masochistic, and is a problem that extends beyond any racial question. See I wouldn't go this far here. USA cops take steroids? Picked the lowest among those on IQ tests? They all love to engage in police brutality? No. That's just not true. There are some horrible cops in many areas, the difference in the US is that guns are very commonplace in America due to the 2nd amendment which means there is always a threat of deadly force on police officers. That's why their trained with guns, carry guns, and use them. I would never say the majority of US police officers are bad, but there are bad apples.

... People don't engage with climate skeptics b/c of the sheer amount of data they'd have to provide to refute their points. It's just not something that people want to do when they can quickly just say -- the EARTH IS ROUND AND VACCINES DONT GIVE YOU AUTISM. ...
That's intellectually very lazy at best. More generally it is a tool custom-made for people who are both lazy and lacking the mental prowess to learn enough about a subject to actually discuss it. Nobody I know who questions the mainstream narrative on either the 'global climate change' issue or the 'vaccination' issue believes that the earth is flat. As a matter of fact, someone who puts any 'information' about flat-earth forward is highly suspect to me. It's a pretty good marker for an individual who is basically participating in a psychological operation of some sort and is to be analyzed as such and obviously not to be trusted. It is true that there are some weak minded people who probably do fall for the flat-earth psy-op, but I don's see much cross-over between them and the 'climate deniers' or 'anti-vax' crowd both of who are often vastly more knowledgeable about both science and medicine generally then though counterparts, and of a nature who are not averse to challenging authority and orthodoxy. Back in the day it did seem that bitcointalk.org (formerly 'bitcoin.org forum' a decade ago) were prone to be the type who would challenge orthodoxy and mainstream dogma. Now, sadly, it seems that the cadre is drawn from a more normie type pool if not skewed toward the pool who are indoctrinated by mainstream scientism more than your average bear. It seems like a lot of the 'old-timers' who were of the more interesting type moved on. Presumably to enjoy their new-found life as multi-millionaires. Oh I'm not saying that everyone who beleives in climate change not being really also beleives that the earth is flat and vaccines cause autism. I'm saying that instead of refuting the points of climage change deniers, people would much rather attack the lowest hanging fruit of conspiracy theorist which is the flat earthers and vaccine people. Very lazy, but that's how we are as a society. But yes, I'd assume that anyone on here who was anti establishment / challenging of mainstream ideas are gone due to being rich now, lol.

I'm quite impressed that only 80% of Republicans approve of the RNC in the Ipsos poll. I wonder if the other 20% think it was too batshit or not batshit enough.
Going to assume that the 20% think it's too batshit given the fact that most of the speaking time was given to people with the Trump name. There are still many Republicans who back Trump reluctantly but still want to see some other prominent republicans speaking. Could've put Ted Cruz, Lindsey Grahm, Marco Rubio, and so on to at least put some typical GOP names into the convention. The convention was WEIRD. Who the hell wants to listen to all of his children speak about him? They're not the best source of info, and I doubt they have much pull over votes in swing areas that are needed. Little too batshit for me....
