If you believe that the 2nd amendment existed to allow the citizens to bring down a government that got too uppity, you're out of luck. The US military and law enforcement structure is so well-armed compared to the citizenry that an armed uprising without their support is doomed.
Well, look what happened on January 6 as a counterargument…Then again, 1/6 was indeed an inside job…
I think "senicide" is a better word than "geronticide" seeing as "senicide" uses "sen-" and "-icide" which are both from Latin and "geront-" is from Greek, which makes "geronticide" a macaronic term like "automobile" and "genocide" (oops, I undermined my own argument!).
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 'Showing people I'm a liar hurts
Thank you so much for showing me that! It demonstrated that you quote-mined the quote out of context, whereas the article ended with this paragraph:
Overall, these preliminary findings show that in a small group of participants, adverse events associated with the mRNA-1273 vaccine were mainly mild or moderate in older adults, a group that is particularly at risk for illness and death from Covid-19. The 100-μg dose induced higher binding- and neutralizing-antibody titers than the 25-μg dose, findings that support the continued evaluation of the 100-μg dose level and two-dose regimen in a large phase 3 trial with a more diverse population to ascertain the safety and efficacy of the mRNA-1273 vaccine and to assess its level of protection against Covid-19.
Yeah, sure sounds like the Moderna vaccine is ineffective, right?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 'Showing people I'm a liar hurts my repu
Also, the fact that many people have used Moderna vaccines (including myself) and have not caught COVID until Aunt Delta showed up is evidence that the vaccines work. We'll need a booster shot, though, because apparently, I believe in evolution and you believe in conspiracy theories.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: 'Showing people I'm a liar hurts my repu
Link to the original article or else I'm calling bullshit. Considering that the anti-vaxxers tend to lie through their teeth and use logical fallacies, I need stronger proof than some meme.

And you don’t understand what the immune system is for apparently.
You don't even know how vaccines work, apparently. Vaccines send either training dummies of dangerous viruses (or instructions to build training dummies) so the immune system would be prepared when the real thing attacks. Without a vaccine, the immune system isn't prepared.

When someone declares "people will die" as a justification for curtailing liberty, the correct response is "what are you suggesting - that liberty isn't worth dying for? That those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms made the wrong choice?"

Yet you don't understand the difference between people dying of human-caused terrorism and [what is most likely] nature-caused disease? Yet you don't understand that the lockdowns were supposed to be temporary? What possible motivation does the government have to punish its donors?
Let's say that every single show on Fox were to encourage their viewers to become vaccinated (Sean Hannity and Steve Doocy already have). What would be the most likely outcome? I would say that their viewers would leave Fox and join NewsMax or OANN.
(To be honest, I really hope I'm wrong, but considering what happened at the 2020 election when Fox News called the election for Biden, many of their viewers left Fox and watched NewsMax and OANN instead, depending on which network's lies comforted them the most)
For too many people moderated by social media, "Defamation" and "section 230" are code words for "I've been called out for the fraudulent grifter I actually am".
You stole my thunder from making a similar sarcastic quip "calling out" Mike Masnick for being a Google shill (which he is not, BTW, as this action proves)!
I have coined a new term to describe people such as anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, fascists, and other trouble-starters: Chaotifer, i.e. one who brings chaos.

Re: "Falsehoods?"
If you intentionally tell a false statement with the intent to decieve, it's a lie.
If you tell a false statement with reckless disregard to whether it's true or false, it's bullshit.
If you repeat a lie or bullshit repeated above whilst believing it was true, it's a falsehood.
The US Right Wing trafficks in all three so much it's best to label them all "falsehoods".

Third, my sister's an emergency doctor with an MD and she strongly recommends taking a vaccine. She doesn't work for any pharmaceutical company.
Seriously, are you going to say that the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines cause autism now?

You keep using that word "Defamation"…
