And that's where I will in fact get angry. It is your choice, but it is not a contentious issue. At all. It's a totally invented contention that is killing people in service of political power. There is zero evidence for the vaccines not being safe. If you get on an airplane, you're doing...

Lol, c'mon man, are you really asserting that seatbelts do not in fact save lives? If so, I'd like to see that data set and logic. You're on the wrong side of reason here. The thing I do get testy about however is this isn't abstract. Real people are really dying here, for reasons that are...

My point is that if everyone were vaccinated, the limitations due to lockdowns, poverty, suicide, etc would no longer need to be true. If you don't want those outcomes, then you should be pro-vaccines. If you promote vaccine hesitancy, then de-facto you're ok with those outcomes. It kinda is...

Sure, it will infect anyone, but it's primarily republicans catching it now in the US, and that's primarily due to vaccine hesitancy, which is primarily driven by politics in the US. So it's kinda hard to remove politics when politics is now the root cause of many of the problems. Including...

~640,000 dead in US & Canada. Of 187M people vaccinated with 342 million doses in the US, a maximum of 6,300 deaths have occurred as a result of the vaccine. None of these deaths have been definitively ascribed to the vaccine, however let's treat this as a theoretical maximum...

Sure. But only one side of the covid debate ends up in large numbers of dead people.

What I don't like - and turns me off of "UFOlogy" as well - is the whole conspiracy mindset. Sure it's all fun and games to think about who shot JFK. But the end game here is to weaponize conspiratorial thinking to undermine science, education, rational thinking to try to overthrow governments...

Well, there goes my weekend. Thanks Randall!

But that's exactly my point - leads to a potential confirmation bias in your thinking. Seatbelts clearly save lives and are mandated across much of the industrialized world... but you don't agree with them, either. And I get why; I also have a clear contrarian streak in my nature, too. If...

Do you wear your seatbelt when you drive your (registered) car on (traffic enforced) roads while carrying your (government issued and tested) licence? If you do, why do you?

Very much so. It's a fantastic and safe toolkit. mRNA doesn't change your DNA at all; it simply floods your body with messages to encode certain proteins. In the case of COVID, these proteins are then extruded on the surfaces of your own cells, triggering your immune system to respond to them...

I voted for everything. Because that's the way I roll.

I think there's some specific people that annoyed him early on. We talked at length about the Sicorro case, for example. About details like the insignia (he was careful to state that he was proven right and others were lying), and the flame under the craft going into and through the rock, but...

Sure. While we’re talking about Stanford, what’s his take on Stanford’s contention that these things use electromagnetic plasmas akin to magnetohydrodynamic propulsion? He claims to have definitive evidence of plasma sheaths with demonstrable field effects. Others, like the guy at...

Don't disagree. I told him that. His response was that it's his stuff and he's the one that gets to decide what to do with it, if anything. I told him that he's getting up there in age, and I hope he leaves his stuff to Chris or something... he just got mad at me about it. So I dropped it.
