Emergency authorization right?

So emergency-release experimental genetically-modified-moth-grown spike-protein-based vaccine with nano particles.

But, indeed, authorized by FDA and CDC, just like the mRNA gene therapy.

Tea may also help with vaccine complications.

We have an emergency experimental gene therapy masquerading as vaccine; phase 3 trial results? Kept being postponed. You can read in 2024 at the earliest if we have a vaccine or something quite else.

Not necessarily evil, but elitist.

Authorities were writing that even multivitimins could be dangerous and had no scientific proof against Covid. Mentions of turmeric got your Youtube video delisted. It is crazy that the information gathered above has to reside on a paste site, when 25 years ago anyone would have found it on BBS or mailing list. Western medicine is needlessly dismissive of natural medicine. They censored wisdom of the crowds.

First masks were made taboo, as they did not work for civilians (but in reality they had not enough in stock to service health care workers). The flip flop on masks only came later. In February it was known that chloroquine, which helped for SARS-1, was also likely effective for SARS-2. Interesting to see the hitjob on that. Ivermectine in vitro studies were only censored, because these were discussed on "far-right" sites, not because it did not work (because it turned out to help in vivo, but doctors lost license for prescribing it anyway).

Let the people, especially black skinned people, take vitamin D next time there is a viral pandemic. No need for public health info-management. It did more damage than good.

You have a social contract signed by you. Worry about you. The government gets to worry about harm to all of society from loss of privacy.

Civilians are not supposed to worry about future children as they live their lives with abuse. They get too emotional.

This is a discussion about bean soup recipes and you are telling me you don't like beans. Mediocre argument.

Be very careful with sharing explicit photos online. Your settings and encryption must be very strong, or people other than your mom may get access to it.

If these others then get investigated for child abuse, it should come out to the investigators that they joined a semi-private Facebook group and have access to beach photos of children. Their credit card number also should show up in registering for CSAM forums.

It is a wonderful idea to protect you and your family by taking precautions. Lock your doors. Don't accept requests from people you don't know, educate your mother on online security, and think long and hard about if it is worth it to send your mother a picture of your naked child, for there is a possibility this will end up everywhere.

Everyone has something to hide and to worry about:

> It came in 2003 when Townshend, now 74, was arrested for using his credit card to access a website offering child pornography, though no images were downloaded.

> Rock star Pete Townshend reveals today how his arrest on child pornography charges saved his life after it indirectly led him to discover he had cancer.

I am fine with people (especially if they are licensed professionals) reading my private conversations and photos, but I worry about people (especially licensed law enforcement) accessing my data on online child abuse.

We can not always get what we want.

Instead, we entrust the police a monopoly on violence, physical detainment, and violation of privacy, and hold them accountable if they can be shown to disregard their duty and responsibilities. As a civilian, your duty is to weigh your personal sense of discomfort against the societal benefits of improved child abuse detection.

Blackmail and coersion of civilian assets for intelligence work is both possible and a risk.

But it won't happen though an Interpol investigation and leave a formal audit trail.

It is just turning "think of the children!" into "think of the sexual blackmail!".

Good. If you don't have online child sexual abuse to hide, you have nothing to worry about, since for all the other things people do have to hide, such access will ignore that (up to direct threats to safety and national security concerns).

Criminals get easier access to online CSAM, then law enforcement should get easier access to user data. If you think that trade is unfair, take it up with the criminals.

Chronic fatigue syndrome resulting from SARS-2 infection should be contextualized and understood from chronic fatigue syndrome resulting from original SARS from 2003. Presentation of which should be different from what you see in practice.

For a long time, the Mayo Clinic claimed vitamin D supplementation to combat SARS infections had no scientific proof and was possibly dangerous.

If such an authoritative source claims pseudo science and danger, your annecdote could very well be true.

The most plausible reason is that the scientific peer-reviewed result is correct, not the tiring "correlation does not imply causatian" commenter on HN who at most skimmed the paper.

2009: > Epidemiological data show an inverse relationship between vitamin D levels and breast cancer incidence. In addition, there is a well-documented association between vitamin D intake and the risk of breast cancer. Low vitamin D intake has also been indicated in colorectal carcinogenesis. A vitamin D deficiency has also been documented in patients with prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, as well as multiple myeloma. Larger randomized clinical trials should be undertaken in humans to establish the role of vitamin D supplementation in the prevention of these cancers.

I thought Flash died, because Apple did not want Flash to eat into their app store profits. So yes, Jobs shot it down several times, because Flash would have allowed games and apps outside the direct control of Apple.

Flash could run great games and apps on Internet Explorer 6. If it was then impossible to get a non-garbage version on iOS, then maybe iOS was garbage.

It was also hard to get a non-app store version of pure HTML/JavaScript on the iPad. With severe restrictions to localstorage.

Yes, this is feasible.

Look into https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Guardrails and specifically to your question there are "topical rails" to ensure the conversation stays on a set of topics you greenlighted.

Also takes care of jailbreaks and allows custom conversation flow templates.
