Interesting thread on the possibility that the adrenoviruses used in most of the non-mRNA vaccines can replicate due to manufacturing error (in this case with the Sputnik vaccine).

@alex Heh, that's probably part of their social media guidelines: make it clear you're serious, to scare people off pranks that waste everyones' time.

In response to cases of Tasers killing people, newer Taser models apply less current than older models did. However, that also makes them less effective at taking down targets. Which in turn, results in more deaths, because if a Taser doesn't work, the next step is often a gun.

Ugly tradeoff.

@sneak IIRC the realistic terraforming plans don't get you a breathable atmosphere, just a warm planet. Humans would live under domes.

The really scary thing about this is we've proven that they don't actually need to release genuinely deadly diseases to cause massive damage to their enemies.

It'd also be possible to use mandatory vaccinations: secretly vax your population now for a disease you intend to release to the rest of the world later.

@sneak Never. It's the near vacuum that'll kill you, not the CO2. The martian atmosphere has something like 1% the pressure of earth's.

Well, unless someone goes to the effort of using that CO2 to pressurize a space.

"It is deeply troubling that both Pfizer and Moderna, less than 6 months after beginning their clinical trials, unblinded their saline placebo group. These actions have ruined any hope of gleaning meaningful data re: long term safety and efficacy of this never-before-used mRNA technology.

As such, please join me in restoring what is now lacking in this breach of scientific methodology: abstain from the vaccines and become a part of the control group."

@cgarison The cop might have been able to stop that man without killing him.

But the cops failure to do so is a matter of training, equipment, and backup. And you're asking him to either put himself or the public at a _lot_ of risk to try to use those options. As you know, it's very easy for someone with a knife to kill someone with a gun at close range.

That cop didn't do anything morally wrong here. He very likely saved his own life, and there's a good chance he saved the life of others.

Comparing mortality stats for the 15 to 65 age range between Sweden and Canada is pretty damning. Sweden's figures look like a pandemic, followed by normalcy.

In Canada, younger people have been dying at abnormally high rates the entire time we've had lockdown.

Israel mortality stats are quite interesting... Notice that peak in younger male deaths? That corresponds to the vaccination program ramping up for that age group. True for older ages too, though for them, could just be covid.

Israel is small enough it's hard to interpret stats like that. But definitely concerning.

Pfizer is supposed to have very detailed data on everyone vaccinated and the outcomes... AFAIK that hasn't been released.

That was quick. Sounds like they're still stopping people. But it'll just be a random best effort thing.
