I see Linus still hasn't changed much.

>Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies.

Thanks Linus. I think I'll pass.

Edit: Keep the downvotes coming lads, don't let off the gas pedal now.

But Linus is not a doctor or biologist, so no expertise to speak of. And the infection rate dropped to almost zero last summer as well, no vaccine in sight at the time.

I cant +1 this enough. Thank you, Linus for standing up to the wealth of misinformation out there and holding his ground.

Yeah, the anger management sessions didn't do much.

Also, some of the things he states are wrong (or unverified) as well.

I wish people had the maturity of being able to discuss sensitive topics without having it degenerate into a visceral fight. For instance, I'm not being rude or anything, I'm just sharing my knowledge from 10+ or so years doing science, not pushing an agenda and presenting arguments in a civilized manner. Yet, for some reason, some people don't like that, go figure.

Similar to the chinese leak fiasco, it was a natural question to ask yet the agenda was to bury it as it if was wrong to question those things. A bit sad to be somebody who is just following the tides like some sort of insentient seaweed.

What did he say that you would consider to be wrong or unverified?

I'm with Linus. The vaccine is bad news.

The fellow replying to him is strawmanning and handwaving.

Why are people talking about this in Linux Kernel Mailing list?

This trend of social and political issues having to be discussed absolutely everywhere ad nauseam is the most deranged thing.
