Here you go. I don't know anything about this website (found it from a google search) but the video montage has plenty of claims of 100%, and a "virtually 100% efficacious" quote f…

The vaccines were also lauded as 100% effective in the early days by Fauci and others, so just a reminder that time and reproducibility matter before being too confident about it.

Maybe there's something in here that's going over my head, but recently it's seemed our culture wants more than anything to destroy its past. We do not seem to hold it in very high…

Is this really a proper analogy? Child pornography is the content and the internet is the medium. For what OP is talking about, cryptography is the medium, not the content. We're m…

> This is a good example of an irrational reason: I'm scared of a choice that has a very small chance of producing myocarditis, so instead I'll make a choice that has a greater cha…

I think assuming that it's out of "spite" is an example of not realizing how "your side" might be causing the division. There are a lot of people who have already had covid and now…

Of all the conspiracy theories out there, this one, to me, has the highest coverage-to-interestingness ratio. It just seems like a teen hacked an AV system and did a goofy presenta…

I don't believe the study is comparing absolute numbers, it's talking about risk on a per-individual level.

Likely not: "Healthy boys may be more likely to be admitted to hospital with a rare side-effect of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine that causes inflammation of the heart than with…

Is it possible to determine by comparing to an unvaccinated control group or is vaccination a requirement for play?

I've heard stories about the difficulty about payments at AirBnB, where the suppliers are local people across the globe in different languages with varying levels of access to fina…

I see. But I think the question at hand raised by OP is infected vs vaccinated, not infected vs uninfected? > My understanding is that the incidence of myocarditis is much higher i…

That particular quote seems to be comparing infected to non-infected, not infected to vaccinated.

Might depend partly on age as well: "Healthy boys may be more likely to be admitted to hospital with a rare side-effect of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine that causes inflammatio…

> This will be the tipping point for many to finally question all the info they get from the corporate media. Only if they actually get to see the reality presented to them somewhe…

You understand that I am not saying that black skin is the cause of the way people respond in police interactions, right? When I say "If a certain demographic were ... 4x more like…

Hm, no, good correction. I might be thinking about a separate article from the same time period that I've lost track of.

Oh, I see. You're arguing in bad faith. I don't even know how to account for that, really. Is it your honest interpretation of what I'm saying that black pignment is the literal ca…

TBH I don't understand what you're saying. I'm having the same debate on 2 threads now so here's my quote to the other person who posted the same link: "I looked at it and the stud…

I looked at it and the study doesn't account for anything. For example, if a certain demographic were 2x more likely to die in an encounter, but 4x more likely to respond to a beni…

Ok sure, but in turn your comment ignores/doesn't contain any data on the statistics of crimes committed by race or what behaviors that lead to escalation appear more among differe…

The NYTimes, which is a left-leaning institution to begin with, released an infamous paper on race-based police killings itself in 2015 by a black researcher and author, and found …

Sure, here's a thread with sources: https://twitter.com/leonydusjohnson/status/12674663458447400... > Time and time again we see someone get called on a welfare check only to be sh…

We care less because for the most part everyone is much better off than we used to be. Material wealth is easier to acquire and with less physical effort.
