@liz_churchill10 The health of humanity is not a zero-sum game. The reality is NO vaccine in the last 100 years has ever been tested with a double blind placebo controlled trial. The gold standard of rigorous and ethical science. It's not about winning/losing but proving if the vaccines work.
@WallStreetApes USAID was never about aid. It was about access, control, and regime change with a smile. They used “humanitarianism” as the disguise, then funneled billions while destabilizing entire nations. The mask is off. It was never about helping Africa, it was about laundering power.
One thing I avoid doing on social media and in real life is gossiping. I seem to be fairly unique in this regard... There is so much gossiping on social media. I'm not a fan.
If you have a problem with someone, talk to them directly. Not around them or behind their back.
Nine times out of ten, if you divorce someone and they get nasty in litigation, you made the right choice. The same applies when you fire someone and they turn hostile on their way out. In both cases, their hostility is an indictment of them and should serve as confirmation that you made the right decision.
Prolonging the inevitable only deepens the damage so remember to cut your losses.
The biggest reason why Western society is in trouble is the culture dictates that telling inconvenient truths is 'hateful' and feelings are more important than the truth.
As result, people are in a constant state of lying and denial of reality. And nothing gets fixed.
I am completely dispassionate about covid and vaccines. I am quadruple vaxxed myself. That may turn out to have some complications, and it may not. I made my choice for personal reasons (my mother is 92). It is an interesting topic. That's all. But calling anyone an 'anti vaxxer' or 'extreme right' because of questioning this stuff to me is a red flag. Being anti vax was THE default view point of EVERY single left wing hippie who raised me in the 70s. It has nothing to do with right or left. Some people think amethyst crystals will heal you. That's their opinion, I don't care.
There is interesting data indicating a possible link between Covid and long term immune responses to other viruses, and there is ALSO interesting data suggesting it could be the vax doing it. Could be neither or both or just one.
I have zero emotional investment either way. People who make this a political issue, or even an emotional issue, are annoying af. We're talking about science and research here, and we should be able to ask questions and cite studies on all sides of all arguments without being shamed or insulted.
Again, I don't care what turns out to be the truth. I just want to know. Covid may have been made by interacting with bats, or by a 14 year old hacker living in the Hollow Earth in a spaceship. The vax may be worse or better than initially claimed. Lord Xenu may or may not be circumcised.
I just want to know, but have no investment in what the answer should be. The fact that people are unable to discuss this without getting upset is basically just goofy on all sides.
There are reasonable and unreasonable people on both the left and the right. My feed is very good evidence of this fact. If you are of the unreasonable persuasion please leave me the fuck alone.
Thank you.
$40 Billion is enough to cure world hunger if you take it from billionaires, and completely inconsequential if you take it from the federal budget.
Youth in the youngest congresswoman is like a breath of fresh air, but an enormous red flag when hired at DOGE.
When I say taxes are a scam most people look at me like I insulted their mother.
But it turns out more and more people are finally realising that taxes are a scam. 🍿
