@JunkScience @IPCC_CH Here is the retracted paper by Alimonti et al. Neither the fluff piece in The Guardian nor the retraction notice give any concrete details on the reason for the retraction. I myself am not competent to judge the paper, but thought I'd post the link. https://t.co/X1RYie12o0

This is the basic phenomenon that has been operational in commercial software for decades now. It's why companies don't write software like Emacs, or if they do, they release it as open source instead of trying to sell it.

@delbigtree The article isn't in a reputable journal, to put it mildly, and doesn't cite anything but Infowars (give me a break).

@alexandr_wang Whether that argument is any good or not I don't know, but it seems to me that the majority of parents are themselves "normies" (else the term has no meaning) and would probably like nothing more than to have normie children. There is something to be said for that, after all.

@PeterSweden7 Who the hell didn't know that?--at least in essence. Everyone knew at least that it involved a new technique and everyone remotely educated knows that involves risks. People I know took it because they didn't want to die of Covid or cause someone they love to die of Covid.

@DonaldJTrumpJr The companies that brought out brand new vaccines for a deadly, novel virus in record time saving probably millions of lives. Talk about biting the hand....
