Re: What are you afraid of
Now - May we turn this thread AWAY FROM Covid-19 :?: :?: :?: :?: Indeed. Any more conspiracy theory or FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) will be dealt with using "power tools", up to and potentially including, account-deactivations. Enough is enough. And to think that this could have been ...

Re: What are you afraid of
I'm going to throw the grenade in here, and say that what worries me possibly most is the USA!! Carl will probably understand why. I see a large militarily powerful country driven by paranoia. One slip on 'the button' followed by the inevitable reprisals and I'm sure you can see why. And on the oth...

Re: What are you afraid of
It's a suggestive list but it's all circumstantial. Any of those statements can have many plausible reasons. Myself, I'm a fan of Occam's razor: prefer the explanation requiring the least number of assumptions. We know new coronavirusses jump to humans on a regular basis: SARS and MERS. We know wet...

Re: What are you afraid of
Now hole' up for a minute... You say this: They were fooling around with the bug since 2003, the Chinese did the work and were paid by the US. Then you write this: And very simple, you can't create a vaccin unless you have prior info on the nature of the virus So let's pull it all together, you're ...

Re: I Don't Get This
My assumption is, that Linkedin removed the pictures as, what I understand, linkedin is intended for business networking. A complex arrangement of individual traits like we all are and like we all should freely express, so long as it doesn't harm anyone. The only time someone should be put in a box...
Re: Covid 19
Gusto10, if you don't want the vaccine then don't - it's your right. But what you are saying is obviously running counter to the general feelings of those on this forum. You seem to have very few in agreement with you. You are also dangerously close to getting this thread locked. Learn when to give...

Re: What are you afraid of
I have answered this under the covid 19 thread. Enlighten me... No jargon either. Simple step by step bullet points. Remember you're dealing with a simple minded country boy here... What is the solution? And perpetual lockdowns and masking forever is not acceptable. I'd rather die. Again lockdowns ...

Re: What are you afraid of
that decrease social interaction, wearing masks and being carefull is the best approach. Well, that doesn't appear to be working. Just shy of an outright cure for the disease (very unlikely) a vaccine has been a tried and true, time tested form of defense for many illnesses since vaccines were firs...
Re: Covid 19
It reminds me of some discussions during lockdown. One day some men were complaining about the lockdown so I asked them what they would do normaly during the evening. The answer: watch TV. When asked so what than is your problem they looked as if they saw water burning. Next they said, you are righ...

Re: What are you afraid of
So please stop disrespecting others for their choice. They are no less person than you are. And to be honest, I don't find such an attitude fitting for an open minded community as SC is supposed to be. Alright gusto, I've sat here and read weeks and weeks of your kicking dirt at the only real solut...
Re: Covid 19
Here's a good article on Slate about COVID and vaccinated folk: https://slate.com/technology/2021/07/covid-delta-variant-risk-vaccinated-breakthrough-cases.html This reminds me of a moment near the beginning of the pandemic when the initial information was: 90% of cases are mild. And I'm thinking &...

Re: What are you afraid of
by Gusto10 » Mon Jul 26, 2021 3:36 pm As to qualifying all anti-vaxers as nutty. If someone has done his research and concluded that there are to many contradictions in the available information, that information which must be provided in accordance with international treaties is not provided and d...

Re: What are you afraid of
I also wonder how the US can be fixed. Here in NL we also had a period of radical polarisation and identity politics and populism in the beginning of the 20th century, though at the time it was catholics vs protestants vs liberals vs socialists. It lasted on and off for 50 years and ended in 1917 i...
