@icedquinn your criticisms about how the safety was skipped to roll it out and how now it is harder to do proper control groups in a closed setting is valid.

But while the numbers are less than ideal at this point they are more than sufficient to show the vaccines safety IMO. Not ideal, but sufficient.

The thing about vaccines are, even if they dont work (and they probably dont at this point with delta) that the risk from them is so extraordinarily low that there is no reason not to get them.

You are at more risk of harm on your drive to the vaccine location than you actually are by getting the vaccine.

total worldwide death toll to date from the vaccine.... 5 people... 5 people out of over 400 million doses. I think the vaccine is useless but I still got vaccinated simply because there is no good argument not to.

@lucifargundam yea fuck them. If anything it shows they dont have very bright people there if they struggle that much to understand what you wrote.

@hotkinky31@mastodon.top No need, I know the text that is usually there. It basically says you were blocked from using your account. What instance was this?

@icedquinn Right and of those 4 both Gates and Zuck are self made by any definition (in both cases they didnt start off rich and had to build a company and get investment to succeed). In the case of bezos it really depends on if you count 300K as rich. At best you can say he was at the upper end of middle class, certainly not rich or even a multi-millionair, and he too got investment from richer people after working hard to create a business plan and convince investors.

It seems his whole point (which is laughable) is that if you get your money because someone invests in a startup you are running that you are somehow not "self-made". Elon is the only one you can legitimately say out of the top 4 isnt self-made and had money handed to him without needing a working company first.

@icedquinn I like you personally so dont take this the wrong way. But you have a very annoying habit of glancing at sources, not bothering to read them, finding an out of context quote that incorrectly supports your assumption, sharing it and then ignoring the conversations when people point out your error.

Like I said, you really need to start reading things and not assuming your preconceptions are fact before commenting more.

@hotkinky31@mastodon.top Sorry I cant read french. But seems you were only blocked on a specific instance. not from "mastodon" as a whole... not that thats any better just wanted to clarify what you meant.

@lucifargundam Ahhh, weird. you dont seem to be all that poorly spoken to warrant that.

@hotkinky31@mastodon.top how can "mastodon" block your account? You mean mastodon.social I suspect?

@icedquinn You mean teh quote that was irrelevant to the part being discussed? Yea I remember that. You also werent quoting the report, you quoted a website that talked about the report. The actual report is 30 pages and includes 6 different wealth tiers, to which you proclaimed (incorrectly) it was all one bucket.

@icedquinn someone clearly didnt read the report. It has quite a bit of detail beyond a single bucket or one pivot... advice: read sources before criticizing sources.

LOL dude blocked me because I bothered to actually cite my sources and provide real numbers... Gotta love the fragility of these people.

@Firaas maybe, but the man wanted to keep his job so ::shrug::

@icedquinn

How does that quote debunk the fact that the same report indicates 68% of billionairs are self made? They also analyzed other categories of wealth, so what?

@matiu_bidule

@matiu_bidule Try doing research instead of random memes. 68% of the world's billionaires are self-made:

@icedquinn

Wrong

68% of billionaires are self-made (not born into inheritance)

@matiu_bidule

@swiley Just tell them you were vaccinated a while back in egypt while you were staying there. No way for them to confirm.

@matiu_bidule We call that cherry picking. To be clear the majority of rich people in the USA started from middle class or lower.

@lucifargundam What gave them the impression you couldnt speak english?
