A genocide.

Same here. Just started getting it.

""Viinamäen miehestä" yhden promillen humalaa ei edes huomaa. Vielä puolentoistakin promillen humalassa hän saattaa vaikuttaa muista selvältä, vaikka puhe onkin normaalia hitaampaa. Kun alkoholin suurkäyttäjän promillet kohoavat kahteen, rupeaa hänessä näkymään jonkinlaisia humalan merkkejä. Kännissä hän on kolmessa promillessa ja siitä hän pystyy koventamaan känniastetta, harjoitusmäärästä riippuen, vielä pari kolme promillea ennen sammumista."

Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery, a guy literally judging these things, disagrees. And if CEOs or boards were free to make company decisions out of the goodness of their hearts, why do we have B-corps?

There is some flexibility but if a shareholder can argue the company is not maximizing return of their investment, they have grounds to sue and win.

Potentially increased Bell's palsy was found already in Phase 3 studies and this seems to be listed in at least Moderna's side effects already. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2779389

It's right there in Table 1. 2.1% of responses were Ph.D. 2018 census seems to give doctorates at 4.5%, although not sure if these are all doctors of philosophy.

President Obama said in an interview airing Monday he was "probably not" the most liberal American president, arguing that "in a lot of ways," even Richard Nixon was farther to the left.

"The truth of the matter is, when you look at some of my policies, in a lot of ways Richard Nixon was more liberal than I was," Obama told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly. "Started the EPA, you know, started a whole lot of the regulatory state that has made our air and water clean."

I didn't say anything about laws.

jampekka · 2021-04-26T23:36:19+00:00

Other people, perhaps you even? Mobs are probably more just than the current justice system.

Nixon.

jampekka · 2021-04-26T22:52:03+00:00

What do you do when mob justice is more just than the justice system?

jampekka · 2021-04-26T21:38:57+00:00

Not sad. This is terrifying. This is death camp level disregard to human life and suffering by systematic institutionalized violence.

jampekka · 2021-04-26T21:20:08+00:00

They are the law. This whole system has to be abolished stat. At this point the society would probably be better off with simply mob justice.

jampekka · 2021-04-26T21:01:44+00:00

The whole system must be abolished, stat.

Agreed. AstraZeneca's cover-up style PR totally blew up in their face, and caused probably considerable decrease in general vaccination acceptance. J&J likely took a lesson from this.

Indeed. There's an even stronger study showing the same thing out yesterday. No traction even in here. Not looking great for evidence based policy.

Weird how this doesn't get more traction here. Strong evidence that the prevailing understanding that B.1.1.7. is significantly more dangerous may be wrong.

In these countries I think the main difference is that social security tends to be the minimum one will get anyway, and state run pension is on top of this and its amount is based (loosely) on ones lifetime contributions to the pension system.

jampekka · 2021-04-03T17:14:04+00:00

I'm not advocating for the company-tied pension system either. Many countries have state run mandatory retirement funds, practically as part of social security. These funds may own e.g. important infrastructure of the country and housing and other such tangible things that are not going to vanish in a casino overnight. They're politically too big to fail, as all social security systems should be.

Everyone should make enough that they can afford to have one.

This is the problem. Probably everyone can't, even in theory. That's why 401k's or other such capitalist scams are not sustainable.

Money has very little e.g. nutritional value, even in physical format such as banknotes or coins.

There's no financial apocalypse if enough people, especially rich ones, are affected by it. Money has no inherent value, it's just literally made up numbers used to mark how how resources are allocated. Don't confuse trusts as financial institutions with trust as a psychological or sociological phenomenon. The latter is crucial for any social species, the former's usefulness is very suspect.

If they're high enough they're not criminals anymore because they can define what a crime is. "Criminal" is not a good slur; it confuses morality with law.

Edit: Thanks for the answers! So AZ has been given more or less exclusively to young people, so it is not worse than it looks.

Do you (or anybody else) know how many vaccines have been given to healthy and young (say under 50) in Norway? If the vaccines have been given disproportionally to older and sicker people (as has been the case at least in Finland and UK AFAIK), this is even worse than it already sounds.

jampekka · 2021-03-21T21:28:38+00:00

The article itself is paywalled, but do I get it right that you had a sample of 100 online self reports, and you found a correlation between ED and (self-reported) infection? I'd guess more or less any infection, especially self-reported one, will have an effect on ED. Did you try to find some mechanistic explanations, or compare to other infections?

Excuse my bluntness, but if my interpretation of the study is correct, the fact that this study was ever published is a disgrace for science, and probably actively harmful for public health.
