We live in a time of excessive information, of hyperreality, where the online/information world is more "real" than reality itself. Most of the information we consume is carefully orchestrated by varied interests. It's very hard to have independent thought, make your own decisions, and not be "punished" if your decisions fall outside mainstream consensus. (the basis of a free world)

Here's an interesting piece of information. I'm a regular reader of CNBC, sometimes they have useful financial information in there. I've been seeing this Dr. Scott Gottlieb appear live all the time, being presented as a big authority on the pandemic, etc... I did a quick google search this is what his wikipedia says about him:

So this guy is at the same time: Former FDA chief, venture capitalist and investor in CNBC, board member at PFizer and a resident fellow at a think tank with a long history of involvement in shaping the public narrative. How can one believe he is presenting information that have the public's best interest in mind, when he has so much to gain from pushing a very very specific agenda? This is the kind of people who suppress contradictory information that doesn't fall into their view of reality. The current landscape is filled with such figures dictating public policies, and using this pandemic to advance their own personal causes.

Anyway, here's a good read about the vaccine itself:

What’s more, neither the Pfizer nor the Moderna vaccine trials tested whether the vaccines prevent people from being infected with the virus. Those trials, instead, focused on whether people were shielded from developing disease symptoms. That means that it’s not clear whether vaccinated people could still develop asymptomatic infections — and thus still be able to spread the virus to others.

Q: Will people still need to still wear a mask and socially distance after being vaccinated? A: Yes. It takes several weeks to build up vaccine-induced antibodies and other immune defenses, and both vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna require a booster dose 21 to 28 days after the first dose. So the full protection offered by the vaccines would take at least a month to develop. And since the vaccines don’t work perfectly, and it’s not known yet to what extent they prevent infection, it’s possible that a vaccinated person might get the virus and be able to pass it on to others.

Quote There is what, 4 vaccines at roughly the same stage and effectiveness by now?

Right now there's too few data to prove the advertised promotion of effectiveness from the vaccines.

I'm not anti-vaccines at all btw.

Now when you see things like that, it just change the way you perceive things, governments keep repeating the same mistakes, first was with remdesivir, now with those vaccines. I'm just more and more skeptical about the intentions of the big pharma companies and governments by seeing how this crisis has been so poorly handled this year.

There's simply too much money at stake, having CEO's acting like that during a crisis just shows what's trully important here. Having a guy who failed to manage virus issues on the OS system he created, and who is now the main contributor of the WHO and heavily promotes vaccination is also a bit funny if you ask me, without going in any sorts of complotist theories, it just feels weird.

I'll just wait I guess.

I'm talking about forcing people to vaccinate, where you litteraly get called in a camp and get vaccinated by a mix of meds and military medics, the whole thing making it impossible to bypass it. Pure speculation of course, but i'm wondering wether or not some govs will have the balls to push it as far as that.

Just a few question, who's planning to get vaccinated ?

How much time before the government will take over hospitals and doctors to prevent fake vaccination proof ?

How much time before the non-vaccinated people have to wear a yellow star on their jackets when they go out ?

Discuss.

I had to decompile koth_brazil when volvo wanted to add it in the jungle update, broken HD, no choice, nobody saw anything

You'll have to reconstruct the displacements maybe, somme issues with the skip textures aswell I think.

Well is it 6 days 9h/Day, or is it 6 days 14h/Day ?

If they have to pay all that overtime, not sure they're going to profit from that, except if they're really tight on money and have to release the game asap.

Waiting for your next renovation thread man

Why does this game looks like a 2007 source game tho ?

If you've ever watched Joe rogan podcast with elon he talks about merging IA with neuralink.

I pretty much believe it is a totally insane idea, hoping it will stay in the medical benefits only.

2 hours ago, AlexM said: First I want to say that I believe you are misinterpreting the OP's comment (correct me if I'm wrong OP). Saying that you disagree with Sweden fully opening doesn't implicitly also say you believe the opposite extreme : that the solution is to fully shut down. The issue is they are acting like the virus doesn't exist and with that ignoring the medical expert community wrt to wearing masks, taking extra precautions if you run a business with a high risk such as a restaurant or amusement park etc etc. EDIT: This is what I've heard from talking to some people in Sweden in the last couple weeks, Swedes, feel free to chime in

Second counter-argument is that not taking precautions can potentially be worse economically than taking the advice of the medical community if too many people get sick then collapse the healthcare sector or can't work. In the case of scandanavia the results so far are that Sweden has seen no economic advantage for being open over its neighbors who have taken a more stern approach.

Ultimately with to the amount of discourse and varying opinions no one knows the answer. Although it's starting to look like there's a possibility we'll be able to compare the results of ignoring the medical communities advice vs taking precautions in the near future if things keeps spreading like they are now in some of the southern states in the US.

Well i'm all for taking precautions, but look at the statistics, 15-44 years deaths are only 1-2% from the people who died from covid.

I just don't see what's the point of blocking the people who are working while the only people who should be extremely carefull are the one retired already.

Quote from Vorontsov

1 hour ago, Vorontsov said: You would be singing a different tune if you lost someone to this. In Sweden you could say we have been sacrificing the elderly so the rest of the country can remain open. There are moral and ethical downsides to this but our economy is doing fine compared to the rest of the world. It's too early to say if we made the right choice but our neighbour countries have been much better off with their measures

So in your logic, if elderly people can't go out -> then nobody can.

I'm all for social distancing, being pretty carefull with handwashing etc (masks aren't used properly so they're a bit useless except in some situations).

But I don't believe that you understand the economical realities behind shuting down entire countries, just look at what central banks have been puting on the table to keep the whole system afloat. It is just not sustainable over a long term period.

Also I'm convinced it was rick or peris taking trolling to a new level

Nah man, I also saw Nexus in a music forum years ago, dude's legit.

Sad to see how the governments are infantilizing the populations atm, for what ? Protecting 65-70+ people ?
