> You should get out more.
I will be the one who decides what is best for me, and you should apologize for presuming to know best when you are a stranger.

> And correlation does not equal causation.
If you find it necessary to repeat something so pedantic, then perhaps i should have spoken with more authority. To this end I will lecture you so be silent and listen:

Big pharma regularly releases toxic and deadly substances. Vioxx killed hundreds of thousands of americans by some estimates less than two decades ago, and Purdue Pharma was implicated in the deaths of over a hundred thousand americans less than five years ago. In the latter case, they made away with what i've seen counted as fifty billion dollars.

How many deaths do you think are acceptable to companies in that industry with the profits they are raking in with these injections? Let's hear a number. Keep in mind while computing it that they are granted legal immunity if people die from them.

> To start with, how many of these people died within 1.5-2 months of getting a dose?
I know one man who died two days after getting injected. He died explicitly from complications arising from the treatment.

> There’s also the distinct possibly you’re just lying
Hysterical accusations of the intellectually bankrupt. Typical of those deeply propagandized. There is no defensible intellectual position supporting mRNA treatments in 2022. There has not been one for over a year. You would know this if you had done a cursory inspection of the topic.

> I have not run across a non-lying anti-vaxxer since the fall of 2020.
How embarrassing. I really would not be so public about ignorance if I were you.

Just paid the last payment on my student loan debt. I've had these for eleven years. In three days when it processes I'll be at zero. Did what I thought was impossible.

Five years ago, when I started this debt free journey, I was crying over my keyboard, I had maxed out credit cards, a car payment, medical bills, and $30k in student loans. All gone.

If I can do it, you can too. Get on a serious budget, live within your means, and focus on your goals. Don't be like everyone else. Win! Now! Go!

Has this made it's way over here yet? Because it's blowing up a bit on twitter.

@adam I'm sure you've seen by now? Not huge just yet, but how quick it got where it is now, might get big by morning? Shit, I gotta get to bed..

i came here to do maths and long the corn

and i'm all out of ink

"Filoviruses, especially Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), are notoriously pathogenic and capable of causing severe haemorrhagic fever diseases in humans with high lethality1,2. The risk of future outbreaks is exacerbated by the discovery of other bat-borne filoviruses of wide genetic diversity globally3,4,5. Here we report the characterization of a phylogenetically distinct bat filovirus, named Měnglà virus (MLAV). The coding-complete genome of MLAV shares 32–54% nucleotide sequence identity with known filoviruses. Phylogenetic analysis places this new virus between EBOV and MARV, suggesting the need for a new genus taxon. Importantly, despite the low amino acid sequence identity (22–39%) of the glycoprotein with other filoviruses, MLAV is capable of using the Niemann–Pick C1 (NPC1) as entry receptor. MLAV is also replication-competent with chimeric MLAV mini-genomes containing EBOV or MARV leader and trailer sequences, indicating that these viruses are evolutionally and functionally closely related. Finally, MLAV glycoprotein-typed pseudo-types transduced cell lines derived from humans, monkeys, dogs, hamsters and bats, implying a broad species cell tropism with a high risk of interspecies spillover transmission."

uhuh.
