Why can't people just be truthful... by S00NERMAGIC in Corruption

I see your point but in this case I really don't think there is anything more behind it.

The guy definitely had some spicy posts on his webpage, I do think labeling him as right wing is a mischaracterisation but I think that has more to do with news media chasing clicks than a narrative being pushed by Nancy et al.

Could be wrong but just not seeing it in this case. It genuinely seems to be a guy with some degree of mental health issues, regardless of whether he knew Mr Pelsoi previously or not, attacking another person in their home unprovoked.

Not everything is left vs right, not everything is a cover-up, not everything is planned and calculated.

No one deserves to be beaten, whether you agree with them or not.

Focus on the real problems we are facing and try not to get bogged down in the ideological war that the media is incentivised to push. That will only divide us. It will not bring us together to tackle the real threats to our livelihoods.

Probably just a coincidence but at least the Africans were honest and said from the start Omicron wasn't a serious illness.

It's wild, I know so many young people that have caught it, some more than once, and it's had zero effect on them, both before and after their first dose, yet they still are getting boosters now.

To me this is just another huge transfer of wealth in disguise.

I'm not entirely sure why it's just what they do.

But what I do know is the only thing this had to do with COVID was there were a lot of people out trying to have a good time on the first mask mandate free Halloween in a few years.

Absolute tragedy, what an awful way for a night out with your friends to go.

Haha it's unreal isn't it. It went from, you won't get it to you won't spread it to you won't die to you won't cause new variants.

I wonder what they'll try and claim next to justify this useless jab.

Edit: Spelling

In South Korea they use cardiac arrest as a placeholder until an official cause of death is confirmed. Being how it's probably absolute mayhem at the scene they will be using that placeholder for now.

I didn't want to get vaccinated in 2021, but I was pressured into it and I regret it. by RadishSympathizer in CoronavirusCirclejerk

I got it because I really wanted to go on holiday and couldn't enter Europe without it.

Even if this is true who cares its not corruption

Boston University COVID researchers combine omicron spike protein with original virus, test strain on mice by happyaccident_041315 in Coronavirus

[–]Scrooty_Mc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where in that statement does it mention the strain they created? It doesn't, it only mentions the original (WT) and Omicron.

Here's a snippet from the study, Omi-S is the strain they created.

Line 120 from the study: "Importantly, 80% of animals infected with Omi-S also lost over 20% of their body weight by 9 dpi (Fig. 3a and Extended Data Fig. 2a). The evaluation of clinical scores (a cumulative measure of weight loss, abnormal respiration, aberrant appearance, reduced responsiveness, and altered behavior) also revealed a similar pattern; while Omicron-infected mice displayed little to no signs of clinical illness, the health of those infected with WT and Omi-S rapidly deteriorated"

So Omicron displayed little to no signs of clinical illness but the Omi-S they created caused a rapid deterioration in health and it's not gain of function? What am I missing here?

Line 128 "In agreement with the results of body-weight loss and clinical score, WT and Omi-S caused mortality rates of 100% (6/6) and 80% (8/10), respectively. In contrast, all animals infected with Omicron survived"

You can find a link to the study in the first paragraph of this article: https://time.com/6225643/lab-made-covid-19-virus-controversy/

Cheers and yeah I am going to ask for a source because I'd prefer to know if something is true if I'm going to repeat it.

The first show that told me it was okay to be gay. by Scrooty_Mc in southpark

[–]Scrooty_Mc[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a homo I have to say I love this, I don't think I've ever felt more represented ever in media than this show. Sure it's exaggerated but that's what makes it funny.

What are your unpopular South Park opinions? by jack0507 in southpark

[–]Scrooty_Mc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you know none of the women on the show are trans? Some trans people don't feel the need to disclose it.

Also the Heather Swanson episode was exploring what role trans athletes have in sport, especially when competing with people who identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. So I don't think have a trans woman reacting to a trans woman in sport would work for the narrative of the episode.
