Well nothing is risk-free. But in my opinion in any case the risk of allowing climate change to rampantly continue vastly outweighs the infinitesimal risks of nuclear.

One incident caused by a natural disaster that would never happen in a European country like Germany, the other caused by mismanagement and frankly jaw droppingly pigheaded incompe…

To be replaced by Russian gas. Great move!

I find that people on here are _extremely_ uncharitable when it comes to anything Apple

One reason amongst many others is the risk of a vaccine-resistant strain emerging. There’d be a pretty enormous evolutionary pressure for that outcome under those circumstances.

It’s not about whether it improves the situation in China or not. It’s about having consistent principles as a company.

I know nothing about Nim or genomics. Why is it odd that they didn’t include Nim?

I suspect that using past positive tests would make things even more complicated. It’s very easy to underestimate how difficult things are at the “tens of millions of people” scale…

Vaccinated people are way less likely to get infected. And I don’t think there’s any evidence that vaccinated people have higher viral loads with less symptoms - that would be extr…

Pros vs cons of taking natural immunity into account: Pros: - An extremely small number of people who would get side effects now wouldn’t Cons: - Logistics: you now need to perform…

The fact that it’s a personal choice doesn’t mean that both choices are equally correct. IMHO, unless you’re a hermit, and excluding certain other extremely rare edge cases, the on…

I think you severely underestimate how hard it would be to organise every single person in the country having a blood test, and then sending out invites etc based on the results of…

If we’re going to be that cynical, we could just pay people to dig holes in the ground and fill them back up again. We don’t do that, for good reason.

I don’t know a single person who was hospitalised from the vaccine, and almost every adult I know has got it. Conversely, several people I know were hospitalised from COVID, one of…

Is there any study to back this up?

No it isn't. Someone who succumbs to lung cancer after smoking 1000 cigarettes a day for 20 years is still a victim of lung cancer. The definition of victim says nothing about caus…

Blaming the victim isn't necessarily always wrong.

And ten years in prison.
