Because acceleration can be measured as a force.
Velocity can only exist in relation to something else. There's no way to measure an absolute velocity because you don't know what the ultimate "still" point is. Center of the Universe perhaps?

Ah, Godwin. Figured it'd show up eventually. Guess that means whatever vestige of discussion there was is now over.

@dave @mewmew @nerdman @freemo

About what I figured. An irrelevant number designed to cause an emotional response.

@dave @mewmew @nerdman @freemo

In 1980, 2.6 million died from it.

Where DID that 200 million number come from?

@dave @nerdman @mewmew @freemo

Crossing the street is potentially fatal. Everyone I knew had the measles. Nobody I knew died from them.
Small sample, but still. Measles were not as fatal as people want to paint them.

@mewmew @dave @nerdman @freemo

Almost everyone I knew had measles. Nobody I know died from them.

@nerdman @mewmew @dave @freemo

They used to say you'd go sterile if the mumps "dropped." Apparently that was extremely rare, but severe, so talked about.

@nerdman @mewmew @dave @freemo

I got all my shots as well. Unfortunately... or maybe fortunately, there was no measles vax before I had the mildly unpleasant bout with them. Same with mumps and chicken pox.

@nerdman @mewmew @dave @freemo

Problem is... science is ALWAYS changing. The science of yesterday has an inconvenient way of becoming ridiculously obsolete.

@nerdman @mewmew @freemo

You are correct.

"Vaccination after exposure is neither a treatment nor a cure for rabies; it can only prevent the development of rabies in a person if given before the virus reaches the brain."

@nerdman @mewmew @freemo

Sorry. I'm behind the times. Rabies vax IS available for humans at high risk... but they don't do any good AFTER your kid is bitten.

@nerdman @mewmew @freemo
I mean dogs get vaccinated for
rabies. People do not.

@nerdman @mewmew @freemo

What gives you that idea?

@nerdman @mewmew @freemo

Yes, and everyone's imagination is different. The WHO is trying to devise actual science to convince people... doctors... that vaccination is better than not vaccination. They currently do not have any.

@mewmew @freemo

No, obviously the're not drain cleaners. That's an analogy. They DO mix in the body and react unpredictably with antigens they weren't designed for. This is stated
very clearly many times at the Global Vaccine Saftety Summit Geneva 2019/12/3

@mewmew @freemo
So, you know drain cleaner A is safe. You know drain cleaner B is safe. Mix them together.

... studies designed to examine the long-term effects of
cumulative number of vaccines or other aspects of the immunization schedule have not been conducted.

... existing research has not been designed to test the entire immunization schedule

No studies have compared the difference in health outcomes... between entirely unimmunized populations of children and fully immunized children.

@freemo

Well, the WHO doesn't seem to agree with you:

"... we're really only in the
beginning of the era of large datas, sets, where hopefully
you could START to uh, kind of harmonize the databases for multiple studies, uh, and there's actually, uh an initiative under way, uh, Helen, there, uh, uh, may want to comment on it to try get more national vaccine safety database linked together so could start to answer these type of questions that you just raised."[about antigen/adjuvant cross reactions]
- Dr. Robert Chen, Brighton Collaboration (at the Global Vaccine Saftety Summit Geneva 2019/12/3)

@freemo
The problem is that insufficient studies have been done on the interactions between adjuvants.

Have any studies on the interactions between the aduvants in one vaccine with the antigens in another vaccine given in the same shot or at the same time EVER been done? If great effort is expended to insure the right adjuvant gets delivered with the right antigen, it follows that the same amount of effort needs to be expended studying the unintended "cross-contamination" between adjuvant-adjuvant and adjuvant-antigen combos.

You know what the largest segment of new vaccine doubters is? Physicians. They're the ones who actually see the fallout from this great human guinea pig laboratory.

All of the above is from the W.H.O. in their talks on the fact that vaccines need new marketing. THEY are the ones lamenting the complete lack of studies.
