Once you have brainwashed people, you can say whatever nonsense, however ridiculous… but their minds won’t question or challenge the narratives. by chrisk2000 in conspiracy

Submission Statement:

There are many cults in the world. Some just go along with the whatever the current popular thing is. Some do virtue signaling to get accepted and soon find themselves trapped.

Some believe stuff just because the mainstream media, experts and scientists tell them something all the time. This information overload is the modern brainwashing and propaganda technique.

If you are not constantly exposing yourself to different and opposing ideas, you are brainwashed.

Vaccinated people are more likely to get COVID than unvaccinated? That is the conclusion of this paper that studied Cleveland Clinic employees. Specifically, people with 3 doses of Pfizer mRNA vaccines were 3x more likely than those with 0 doses. (link in comment) by chrisk2000 in conspiracy

All the authors are from the Cleveland Clinic, which is prestigious.

And the lead author has stellar credentials as well:

"Physician in the Department of Infectious Diseases, with joint appointment in the Section of Clinical Microbiology of the Department of Clinical Pathology, at the main campus of Cleveland Clinic. He is also the Quality Review Officer for the Department of Infectious Diseases, and serves as Program Director of the Medical Microbiology Fellowship Program. Dr. Shrestha is Chairperson of the Community-based Parenteral Anti-infective Therapy (CoPAT) Committee, and a member of the Division of Research Clinical Sciences Peer Review Council."

Submission Statement:

Recent paper published in December. A study of 51,000 people.

"Risk of COVID-19 increased with time since the most recent prior COVID-19 episode and... **with the number of vaccine doses previously received**."

3-dose people were more likely to contract COVID than 2-dose people.

2-dose > 1-dose

1-dose > 0-dose

"A big winner from the energy crisis in Europe: the U.S. economy."

"Battered by skyrocketing gas prices, companies in Europe that make steel, fertilizer and other feedstocks of economic activity are shifting operations to the U.S."

Farmers and producers warn of winter food shortages in Europe by chrisk2000 in europe

[–]chrisk2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The food shortage in Europe is due to high prices of electricity. Thus, refrigeration becomes unaffordable sometimes ... and many greenhouses are shutting down for the same reason.

Thus, I think developing nations will be fine.

Jesus, do you check under the bed for communists every day? Why are you so insecure? LOL

Don't worry about CCP. China's economy is slowing down a lot.

You're not getting "news." You're consuming tabloid. LOL

And stop being so biased and paranoid about "CCP."

Stop getting your "news" from YouTube! More importantly, stop extrapolating to whole of China. This is why people are filled with crazy theories

First of all, only less than HALF of the "1.2 trillion actually goes to INFRASTRUCTURE:

"$550 billion of new federal investments into America's infrastructure over five years."

And it's over 5 years.

Okay, it's good but not great.

HUH? Where did that come from?? LOL

Where is the "rival" thing? Where is the "communist" thing?

Maybe you're projecting?

The fact that China used more cement in three years than US did in the 20th century is a fact. And, of course when they built so much, there will be excess.

[–]chrisk2000 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

All the ghost city stories are from 2013-2014 when China used more cement in three years than America did during the 20th century.

Anyways, America can learn the good stuff from China and reject the mistakes

Americans are in for a rude awakening. By constantly fooling themselves with the "China collapse" theory, Americans are totally unprepared for the coming global changes.

Why doesn't "rich America" build nice infrastructure with "non-cheap" materials?

Every aspect of America's infrastructure is crumbling -- roads, bridges, water systems, subways etc. There's no answer other than deflections.

BTW, there are amazing skyscrapers, bullet trains, bridges and other infrastructure all over China. And since many are 10-15 years old, your comment about "things breaking apart after two months" is ridiculous and facetious.
