Strange, isn't it?

Just because someone scribbles something doesn't make it law, or even simply legal.
inter_netuser··on An open call to restore normalcy for U.S. children
Strange how that's completely forbidden to discussed.
inter_netuser··on What the Omicron wave is revealing about human immunity
Just mass hysteria, encouraged by those that feel they can derive by benefit from it, be it increased attention or more political power, anything really. Fairly typical situation actually, maybe even the default state of the human race.

What are the more detrimental things you had in mind?

inter_netuser··on An open call to restore normalcy for U.S. children
It's just people that don't have kids tell everyone how to deal with kids.

I guess they never tried putting masks on cats and dogs either.

inter_netuser··on An open call to restore normalcy for U.S. children
You clearly have no kids, nor have you never dealt with any for any length of time.
inter_netuser··on Last-resort cancer therapy holds back disease for more than a decade

inter_netuser··on An open call to restore normalcy for U.S. children
Not commenting on the particular issue/article, but can we dispense with blind faith in pre-prints as gospel and final instance of truth?

"This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice."

Consider all pre-prints complete bunk until proven otherwise. Anyone can publish whatever they want to support whatever conclusion they want in a pre-print.

inter_netuser··on An open call to restore normalcy for U.S. children
UK's JCVI declined to recommend vaccines to children on risk/benefit basis. That was prior to Omicron, probably even less useful now.

>And voluntarily unvaccinated people should not fill ICU beds that other people need.

Wow. I'm speechless.

Blacks (along with some other minorities) are the group with the lowest vaccination rate, for rather obvious reasons. If you aren't familiar, look up the Tuskegee experiment.

You are proposing to flat out deny life-saving medical care, in a critical illness situation, to those very vulnerable groups that have completely justified distrust of a government that abused them for hundreds of years.

>there are still unvaccinated people occupying ICU beds, leading to non-Covid related treatment getting postponed, and sometimes leading to deaths.

Did you have a flu shot every year? Are all other vaccines you had in childhood boosted on schedule? Looking forward to you send us proof.

Also please prove you wash hands everytime you go to the washroom. Until then, I expect you aren't going to seek treatment for any infectious diseases, after all we don't even have proof you wash hands, and how can we waste precious medical resources on such irresponsible citizens who voluntarily refuse the best medical intervention of all time, basic hygiene? /s

The real biggest problem is people that do not understand why informed consent exists in the first place.

Lack of political will to expand the ICU capacity does not override informed consent. Even completely broke countries like El Salvador have been able to roll out field hospitals, it can be done.

inter_netuser··on Last-resort cancer therapy holds back disease for more than a decade
can't it be sequenced again and again and custom treatment prepared every time?

inter_netuser··on Ideas that have been beaten to death
Bookmarking is broken. We bookmark to find them later.

Better would be to save the entire page, not just the URL, as that would likely have more keywords that you'll remember later.

That's what I do, just save pages into a folder.

It is the mixture of both that ends up being very confusing.

Remember that rogue driver signed by a “leaked” cert?

Things like that are a lot more useful than fooling someone about some silly website.

Updates to your OS or secure apps (lmao) funded by the abc soup (Signal and Free Radio Asia, read up) could be signed by the government.

For the greater good, citizen.
