Protecting kids online is a worthy goal. But if the only way to enforce a social media ban is mass age verification, behavioural tracking, and biometric surveillance for everyone, we should ask whether the cure is becoming worse than the disease.

@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher Humans lived without electricity for the vast majority of history - far longer than we've had it. What on earth do you mean? Also, what does the amount of electric equipment woven into modern life have to do with the objective fact that it's not mandated?
@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher What does that have to do with anything? Having electricity isn't mandated is all I'm saying. But of course there are people living without any electricity. How narrow minded do you have to be not to realize that?
@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher It's true using cell phones or electricity could have unknown or unclear side effects. That's why they're not forced on anyone. It's my choice to use, not use, or limit wireless services and electricity. You and the government can't force me even if it benefits you or them.
@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher 1. Not proven
2. Who said 100%?
3. Vaccines are *mostly* safe (when observed short term, with narrow study questions, and study participants can't add feedback to designed questions)
4. Data is inconclusive & has been hidden
5. If https://t.co/G03BVSRTji% is safe, 100% is safer
@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher It's possible there's something we don't understand about genes or bodily functions that could make some more likely to have problems from vaccines than others. If vaccines were 100% safe, no one would worry. Help make them 100% safe by advocating for more studies. 2/2
@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher Saying my unvaccinated kid has ADHD suggests vaccines don't cause neurodivergence. However, vaccines cause changes to the gut, where most of the immune function begins, and we know there's a correlation between gut and neurodivergence. 1/2
@SmellslikedirtG@giveashitnature They're recyclable but don't get recycled. People toss without knowing/caring. Recycling facilities sort & sell to manufacturers. Undesirable recyclables end up in landfills after holding periods. Black plastics, tetra packs, and metal peels on plastic containers are problematic.
@JIM_THE_BOSS_@giveashitnature No one person doing one thing will make a major difference for any issue on their own, but when we all work on things we can have a significant collective impact. If not you, then who? If not now, then when?
@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher Bonus reply - different bodies need different things. Some clearly do fine with vaccines and have no issues. Some may take years to manifest the buildup of immune strain as autoimmune conditions, cancer, etc. Some manifest issues immediately. We should be curious about this!
@Felixr834260@eyegenedrb@NicHulscher One has an ADHD dx, one doesn't but could likely get one. They both got lung infections this winter, breaking 13 & 16 year lifetime records of no antibiotics. No one wants to study vaccine free families. Most of us would be overjoyed to provide medical records, go for tests, etc.
@tenshiism@Ciaomeow999@JulieLovesFluff The population of sexual predators among healthcare providers is the same as it is among the rest of the population. Children almost always freeze and follow the instructions of their abusers. It's absurd to put your child at risk of any amount of trauma.
@tenshiism@Ciaomeow999@JulieLovesFluff Kids build trust over time with safe individuals, according to statistics. The most common people kids report abuse to are relatives, teachers, and coaches. HCPs aren't even on the list. You have a magic box in your hand, look it up before commenting.
