This word "predatory" really captures all of what's wrong, doesn't it? From climate denial to corporate greed to racial inequity...

The basic problem in america is that nobody with an ounce of money or power cares about anything but more money and power

@Gaijinotousan Complain away! Being a gaijin is hard. I just try to laugh at all the ways I am but a nascent human in this land. Some days I do better than others.

As the anger fades, may you find the opportunity within the challenge. 🙏🙏🙏

Trouble is we thought vaccination was about sovereignty when really the metaphor is POVERTY. That's how the antivax think about Covid: Like poverty it's something that will happen to you if you are 1) unlucky or 2) of low character - that it's mostly something that happens to POC

I'm so grateful to see this study and writeup.

And horrified that making the case for something as obvious as "covering your mouth and nose blocks bad shit from coming out of them" requires this level of effort.

And still a belligerent minority will childishly resist.

We now have a thorough, vetted study that proves that surgical masks work. And they particularly work at protecting the most vulnerable. https://t.co/osHgAEttnR

@leashless @MilitantHobo @Cererean Yeah this was news to me as well. A little embarrassed to be so confidently incorrect. 😳

That said the fact it stopped in the face of public backlash isn't exonerating. The point remains that they want(ed) genomic DRM.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

@leashless @gavinmclelland That may very well be true - not sure we know yet and moreover until we can identify the people in which that's true it's inactionable.

What appears to me to be true is that impacts of complications are less than the thousands dying per day and the overwhelm of medical systems.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

@leashless @gavinmclelland Also this article doesn't address highest risk individuals - the never infected, never vaccinated.

Of course proof of vaccine with no nuance, absence of testing is useless. But it's unwise ignore risks of the unvaccinated because *some* have strong infection conveyed immunity.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

@gavinmclelland @leashless Then I misinterpreted your genetic reaction to spike proteins comment, probably because it sounds a lot like a talking point I've heard people sharing as the reason not to vaccinate. Apologies.

Still like Vinay don't really get your actual point on why the math isn't simple.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

@MilitantHobo @leashless Meanwhile heirloom seeds are out here reproducing themselves for free, evolving within their ecosystems and their big downside is.... they're vulnerable to our poisons?

Monoculture is an arms race that we need to move beyond.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

@MilitantHobo @leashless Where are you getting that seed? It's all terminator modified so it produces sterile offspring, patent or no. So maybe you can get it from another multinational who reverse engineered or licensed a production process. Whomp whomp.

@leashless is right, it's DRM for living things.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

@leashless I'm pretty sure it's just an antivax thing, Vinay. The whole "Spike proteins generated by mRNA vaccines will make you sick with covid" story.

As if this novel coronavirus family doesn't generate COVID-19 far more predictably and dramatically. Sigh.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

If you don't think this kind of predictable wrongness will be harnessed to allow fuzzy surveillance footage to be weaponized against people and communities of color, you haven't been paying attention.

It's my first year in Japan and I didn't get hot peppers planted but looking forward to the future where all this subtropical sun can make me some fiery sauce. Bay Area peppers are scoville deficient but still make a tasty fermented product.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

Yo is @TMobile implying *my* security practices are the ones that need improving in their breach notification?

GTFO. The only thing I need protection from is your company's shit ability to prevent intrusion.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

I don't understand how the anti-vax right got a monopoly on freedom talk. Every single vaccinated person I know made an appointment and went to it of their own free will.

Why does freedom only mean refusal? Can't we freely choose to protect ourselves and our communities?

[nobody @jonahsilas]

@jilliancyork Ugh.

[nobody @jonahsilas]

That this needs to be said, much less said over and over, underscores the perverse incentives that stem from capitalism. In no sane political system should leadership include any consideration of how you might profit from the suffering of those you lead. Yet here we are again.
