But you're forgetting that currently these vaccines are not really doing a great job at decreasing hospitalizations in at-risk populations. Look at Israel. Thanks.

The point is that a virus is a brute-force mechanism. This introduces a probability (even a low one) that a virus might "choose" to become more nasty in order to elicit a response from a "vaccinated" population.

Vaccinated is in quotes because many of the current vaccines are, admittedly, therapeutics rather than vaccines. The classical definition of a vaccine is something that prevents infection entirely. The current politicized definition of vaccine is something that decreases mortality / symptoms for a specific disease.

We know that these vaccines are "leaky", and now it's just up to random chance to determine whether or not this will lead to a scenario like the chickens. I believe the chance is very low, but it's there.

The point is we're now at the point of jailing people based on conjecture and projection and statistics instead of them committing an actual crime.

What is the statistical likelihood that any person of a specific religious group will commit an act of terrorism? Should we find that number and then jail a random swath of their population?

The deaths and despair from lockdowns far surpass those created from COVID alone.

I bet missed cancer screenings alone have caused more than a thousand deaths in Australia.

Ivermectin, HCQ

Ivermectin, HCQ have done wonders in asian countries. The fact that they are not even considered is frightening, and the studies against their use have extremely small and non-general sample sizes.

No they've just burned restaurants, a couple blocks, convenience stores, a few Target's, and a couple police stations.

Absolutely false. Access to pornography during early sexual development has an obvious impact on people's ability to process sexual intimacy and intimacy in general. This has been studied and really isn't up for debate at this point.

You can let a kid pick up a videogame and let him shoot people in the head all day with probably no major effect on his psyche. What if you showed that same kid a video of someone having their head blown off?

There's literally a reason why there are laws against children seeing pornography, and to say it has no effect on the development of the brain is ridiculous.

Which for many who were teenagers with internet like myself, lead to hardcore pornography addiction, lasting mental turmoil, and problems processing intimacy correctly.

Media isn't just shows and news, kids have access to an ever-expanding pool of pornographic garbage, more damaging than even the most hardcore magazines / dvds of the 80s and 90s.
