It's a totally legitimate statement,
it just takes years of study of Philosophy to understand it.
Beyond College Level and all that ......

BTW, Excellent Album!!!

Sad, yes. Anti-vaxxer? Maybe he was not mentally well if there was a bat colony in his house?
You only have 24 hrs before starting treatment, I really don’t think this guy knew enough to seek treatment, ignorance is not bliss.

Edit: Also be aware rabies is highly transmittable. You don’t have to be bitten, lookup rabies facts.

The poll found vaccinated older adults are more likely than the unvaccinated to say they often avoid large groups, wear a mask outside their home and avoid nonessential travel. Compared with June, vaccinated people were less likely to say they would travel or visit bars and restaurants in the next few weeks.

Dr. Irwin Redlener, a public health expert and founding director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, said unvaccinated people’s fear of the virus is lower because of their “disregard for science.”

“Vaccinated people have generally bought into the scientific realities of risk. They’re reading the reports of new variants or mutations, they’re reading stories about breakthroughs,” he said.
This is the flip side of the risk assessment. The vaccinated that overrate the risk because of fear.

Things are looking better.

New cases of coronavirus have fallen by 20% over the last two weeks. And there's optimism that this downward trend could continue if people continue to take precautions. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are now eligible for a Pfizer booster dose aimed at shoring up immunity.

  • New infections and hospitalizations are declining nationally, though some Northern states continue to see growing outbreaks.
  • The country is averaging more than 2,000 newly reported deaths a day and is approaching 700,000 total coronavirus deaths.
  • Florida, which was regularly identifying more than 20,000 infections a day in August, is now averaging around 7,000 cases each day. Fewer than half as many Covid-19 patients are hospitalized in that state as there were a month ago.
  • Alaska leads the country in recent cases per capita. A rapidly worsening outbreak there, spread across urban and rural areas, has shattered past case records and strained hospitals.
  • Case numbers continue to climb in portions of the Upper Midwest and New England that missed the worst of the summer surge, including in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Maine.
 
Australian analysis is the same in regards to blood clots. Basically no deaths prevented for under 30 with potentially deadly side effects. You have to keep in mind also that not all of these clots are captured. Actual incidence is definitely higher (you dont have to believe me, but I have long experince with medical system, both as a patient and working in it now)
You are correct and that's why the Australia's expert panel on vaccines, ATAGI, recommended at that time of the review that for Australians under the age of 60, Pfizer is the preferred COVID-19 vaccine.

However this advice has been revised after a massive outbreak in Sydney and later Melbourne.

The early advice was because they thought people get a vaccine for themselves. They revised advice is because people should get vaccinated for the health of the community. Hopefully, people will be good citizens and follow the latest advice.

problem with platforms like Youtube etc. is not the lack of good content but the bias and censorship. accusing alternative sources of spreading conspiracy theories and then putting trust in Youtube because of Altium tutorials makes no sense. i did not know that Altium tutorials are shrouded in political and moral controversy. besides there is plenty of garbage content (regardless of topic) on any platform and Youtube is certainly not immune.
I never said that I was "putting trust in Youtube", but I was responding to the statement that LowQ made about YouTube *directly* above where I said that.

How on Earth did you get there?...

"i did not know that Altium tutorials are shrouded in political and moral controversy"
Neither did I... Can you tell me why you think that there would be?

Doctors: Pandemic has dire effects on Idaho kids, babies
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho’s unchecked spread of the highly contagious delta variant is sending more kids and babies to hospitals with complications from COVID-19, state health care professionals said Wednesday.

Major hospitals and health care clinics in southwestern Idaho are seeing more premature babies born to COVID-19-positive mothers, more children requiring hospitalization and more kids of all ages experiencing mental health problems because of the pandemic, several doctors from Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, St. Luke’s Health System, Primary Health Group and Mountain States Neonatology said during a news conference.

Numbers from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare show weekly coronavirus case counts are increasing more rapidly in children than in adults. There were nearly 1,700 new COVID-19 cases reported in children in Idaho last week, deputy state epidemiologist Dr. Kathryn Turner said Tuesday, double the rate the state saw in August. More than 200 children have had to be hospitalized for COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, Turner said.
...
The pregnant women that Miller has been treating in intensive care units don’t have other risk factors, she said.

“They’re runners, they’re active, they have multiple children at home,” Miller said. “They are just having the bad luck of catching COVID and having the massive inflammatory response.”

The number of premature infants in Saint Alphonsus’ neonatal intensive care unit has also climbed, said Dr. Nik Shalygin with Mountain States Neonatology, many of them born to moms with COVID-19.

The babies frequently are sicker than expected for their gestational age and are staying in the NICU longer, Shalygin said. It’s particularly stressful for families, because in some cases neither the mother nor father can visit the infant in the hospital because both parents have the coronavirus, he said.
This says it all...
Idaho remains one of the nation’s least-vaccinated states, with roughly 52% of eligible residents fully vaccinated, according to the state health department.

seeing it said on Bitchute or Rumbler doesn't qualify as an answer. Having some unknown persona make statements isn't or doesn't make it factual.
correct... everyone is entitled to opinion and 1A guarantees that. but when platforms are allowed to target specific opinions they are biased. don't need censorship, bias and coverups that YouTube, FP etc. actively engage in.

I'm on the fence regarding Youtube's censorship strategy... I understand why they do it... misinformation kills people...
But on the other hand, censoring something also draws more attention towards it.

As an answer to the question from that video. Yes, there are many unanswered questions about covid. Like why is it important to rightwingers as a political issue? Why are they not interested in saving lives instead of selling crackpot theories?
There's nothing "right-wing" about wanting to verify the veracity of a given statistic. If Covid deaths really have been inflated in so many cases it only stands to reason to ask just how high the ACTUAL number must be. No?

Not having accurate data to work with only makes it harder to assess things properly anyway. If the numbers are wrong then they should be corrected "FOR THE RECORD". Otherwise how can we possibly assess the true risks posed by the virus?

People should most definitely get the vaccine if they care to do so. As for everyone else things seem to be getting along only slightly worse than what would be seen in a typical flu season so nothing to panic about there in any case.

FWIW almost HALF of new cases are vaccinated individuals. So while it may indeed afford SOME protection these treatments are nonetheless not completely reliable either.
