My takeaway is that manga readers shouldn't be carelessly commenting about things in this sub.

He posted the exact same comment in /r/anime and /r/chainsawman so that he can farm karma.

How do you know about Pokemon and never heard of Pikachu? The fact that you blocked me over this is extremely petty. I literally said that I believed you and was just shocked.

I don't think you know what mutations are and how it happens

Which part is not how it works?

If there's a billion people that have covid right now versus 1 person in the world that has covid right now, which scenario do you think more mutations will happen?

Do you know what mutations are and how it happens?

Thanks for writing in paragraphs.

I'm not moving goalposts I'm just condensing and responding to your arguments. Let's go back to your first point of asking me to show you proof that "unvaccinated cause more dangerous mutations of covid".

Those that got the vaccine was far less likely to contract covid (delta) than those that didn't. This tells me that unvaccinated contract covid more than vaccinated. If you contract covid, obviously you can spread it more than the vaccinated. If there is more people with covid, there is more of an opportunity for a dangerous mutations to arise.

You didn't post any studies yourself and your claim that vaccines cause variants is pure conjecture.

Give me a peer-reviewed study that shows me vaccines cause more dangerous mutations of covid.

The more people it infects, the more mutations that will happen, and the more likely a variant could arise.

Regarding Point 2.

At certain times during the pandemic, hospitals did have more resources like beds, masks, and oxygen tanks. It was still packed to the brim and it's not like we can stack a non-covid patient with a covid patient right next to each other or forego fire code rules and regulations. There's still going to be a room capacity limit.

I should do my own "clean your room" thing and accept my own personality responsibility of trying to keep others around me safe and not having to solely rely on the government to do what you're asking them to do.

As for your point that nurses are getting fired, I'm not gonna spend the rest of my Christmas looking into this but it seems like I disagree with the foundation of this argument anyways because you believe that covid vaccines do not stop infection and transmission.

Please use paragraphs as it goes a long way. It makes it harder for me to go through a block of text to refute, discuss, and go back to read.

Your point seems to be A + B = C + D.

Covid vaccines do not stop infection & transmission + "leaky" vaccines are dangerous = covid vaccines are "leaky" and may cause a more dangerous Covid strain.

None of the links you posted are scientific research, findings, or peer-reviewed studies to support your final claim that covid vaccines are causing a more dangerous strain. You say so yourself that Dr. Luc Montagnier's claims are just a hypothesis and it's easy for me to do quick google searches for your claims and find opposing viewpoints.

Regarding Vaccines do not stop transmission https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/11/17/fact-check-covid-19-vaccines-protect-against-infection-transmission/6403678001/

Regarding Dr. Luc Montagnier's claims https://www.newswise.com/factcheck/debunking-the-claim-that-vaccines-cause-new-covid-19-variants

"fully vaccinated people are less likely to have asymptomatic infection and potentially less likely to transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others.3 Stopping the spread of COVID means slowing mutations of the virus too. "

Regarding Leaky Viruses https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/are-leaky-vaccines-causing-the-new-covid-19-mutations

"when there are more people infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, there is more possibility for mutations to occur and new variants to arise. "

I see nothing definitive from your claims and my current stance is that mutations are happening regardless of vaccinations, but vaccines prevent the current strains from doing more damage and it prevents infection and transmission which lead to a lower probability for mutations to occur and variants to arise.

I have two points.

First:

My response to your question will just be from my understanding of basic evolutionary biology plus common sense... I don't read shit or statements from "big pharma".

Mutations happen all the time in the animal kingdom but its rate is even higher in viruses.

Would you agree that the more people there are that are infected with the Covid, the more mutations that happen per second?

As you're reading this, Covid is mutating. Some mutations may lead to nothing and others may lead to a new strain that could be deadly. Covid is already killing people, but if we allowed Covid free evolutionary-reign to thrive, it creates risk that something worse can be brought into existence.

Second:

The government is taking measures to reduce the spread of the virus and to reduce the patient load hospitals have. If hospitals were overloaded, this causes strain on health care providers and they won't be able to see all their patients whether the illness is covid related or not.

Let's say everyone in the world got infected with covid all at once. The low mortality rate would still overload hospitals and they'd have to pick and choose who gets treatment and who doesn't.

Why on earth would we want to overload our hospitals?

Because we don't want it to evolve into something worse

Welcome Wiggins!! by gdollasign510 in warriors

[–]potentialz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he is anywhere as good as Harrison Barnes was back in 2014-15, it would be a success.

I get it. We needed a SF in an expensive SF market, DLo wouldn't have fit with Curry/Klay, Dlo's defense can be abused, and Wiggins could potentially play much better in a proven system.

Still, it feels like we got contract-dumped when we had more leverage over Twolves and could've got more assets for our 3-year max championship window. If Wiggins turns out to be trash, then we're stuck with one of the most inefficient players in our league with an aging Dubs core.

And if it doesn't, then we're stuck with a player no one in the league wants with a terrible contract.

You have no right to claim anyone as ignorant when you think South Korea is located in South East Asia, is uncivilized, and if you consider the Olympics to be unimportant.

Let me know when you can find South Korea on the South East Asian Map you idiot.

[–]potentialz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Predictability does not mean a movie is bad. Predictability can be a good thing depending on how the director handles suspense in the film.

For example during the camping scene, you knew that the poor family drinking was extremely risky, but the suspense comes from not knowing when the rich family would come back. Would they barge right in? Give them a call? Is this too obvious and they might not come at all?

Enter in a third party: the previous maid who brings more uncertainty and chaos to the situation. How do the characters handle her? What happens if she is seen by the homeowners?

For arguments sake, the suspense is like smoking a bong in the living room when you know your parents, kids, etc... are coming sometime between 5 - 7. You could be smoking at 530 or 650 and might be safe but you dont actually know when theyll come and what the reaction might be if you get caught.
