It is true for vaccine that have been long tested and are really effective for certain set of _serious_ diseases. It’s not true for Covid were those vaccines are new, not effective (because no vaccine is effective for those kind of diseases), do not prevent people for catching and spreading the disease, and we are talking about a disease with a very low mortality rate.

I don’t recall of any teacher dying from covid …

I can see the reason the tobacco industry would lie about the effect of tobacco. What would be the reason an expert would show bad faith going against the narrative we saw for Covid ? (Vaccine are effective, masks are effective, lock-downs are effective).

ho yeah and we saw how effective the measures were, every person I know has got Covid !

Exactly, in reality we don’t know much about these diseases, the way they spread, the effects. But there has been some mass hysteria that made them appear much more serious than they are. It could just have made few lines in the media and everyone would have continued their lives peacefully. Instead we had borderline totalitarian policies, cops arresting people taking a walk alone in forest, ridiculous absurd policies (in France) banning non-essential goods to be sold in markets. I’ve never seen such a collective nightmare but now I perfectly understand past nightmare I learned in history books…

You can start comparing with _serious_ threats like Rabies (100%), aids (90%), smallpox (95%), tetanus (50%)
Bubonic plague (40–60%). Yes in _that_ case I think maybe drastic policies would be justified.

"Outside of a few fringe groups, most people agreed on what we knew". It’s not my opinion, we "know" very little. We think we know because we read things on internet, we discuss with friends/etc but most of it is b.llsh.t as when we thought lobotomy and electrical shocks were sane and efficient treatments.

I believe that these type of disease are un-avoidable unless you live 24/24 in plastic suits. The trade-off is too high. I often see comments talking about mild inconvenience. Go tell that to people in china who are locked down and force tested, isolated, masked etc. To me it’s 1984-ish nightmare

Prisoners dilemma illustrated : you choose what you think is the optimal solution and end up with a degraded situation for everyone (including you).
elenaferrantes | 3 years ago | on: Heavier cars are safer for their drivers, but far deadlier for everyone else
Wow, as others said I can’t tell if you are serious or not. By this line of reasoning there is also the following.
It’s optimal for me right now to :
- answer that phone call in the subway.
- Steal that item.
- Play loud music at 2am.
- fart in the elevator.
And so on
It’s called antisocial behaviour.

"Calories In vs Calories Out is correct". Maybe it’s correct but I doubt it’s useful. How do you explain that people who do not count calories maintain their weight ?

"Media propaganda is obviously a bad thing, but reading credible news isn't."
I would tend to agree with you but since Covid hysteria I do not believe in mainstream media anymore. So that’s an issue because I’m not able to find credible news anymore.

You can leave a voice mail. I don’t answer to unknown number anymore due to heavy phone spam. My thought is "if it’s really important they will leave a message".

USA _and_ russia always justify civilian bombings claiming they aimed at military targets first. Do you think USA or russia will ever admit they happily roasted babies alive on purpose ?
