    It wouldn't be required if we were immune to the virus, now would it? :lol:

    we already are immune.

    you're mixing up two things here; you really are losing track of your own ramblings.

    there are two possible "goals" to reach:

    1. eradicating the virus itself

    2. reaching immunity to the virus

    the article you posted, and which I find nonsense, it talking about point number 1 ("the possibilities of eradicating the virus"). You know what eradicating means, yes?

    As for immunity, by this point, arguably, the vast majority of the population has earned some form of immunity against corona. You see this, in the casualty numbers.

    what, you still want everyone jabbed? go fuck yourself, lol.

    This paper (We should not dismiss the possibility of eradicating COVID-19: comparisons with smallpox and polio | BMJ Global Health) discusses eradicability of Covid, and compares with smalllpox and polio. The authors identify the main challenges to eradicating Covid;

    "The main challenges are probably around achieving high vaccination coverage and the potential need to update vaccine designs."

     

     

     

    you can not eradicate covid, not even if every single person on earth was vaccinated, multiple times over

    each time the vaccines are administered, the virus has mutated hundreds of times

    the virus lives on in animals. Reportedly, that's where the virus came from in the first place. Are you going to capture and vaccinate all the wild animals too?

    Go on putting all your money on the experts and science. But in your arrogance, you simply can not accept that other people don't share your opinion. Yet, in your limitless arrogance, you want to force your opinion on the whole population, since you are right and everyone else is stupid.

    It's people like you that are the real virus. If only, there was a vaccine for people like you

    But I am not an expert. 

    true, so stop acting arrogant, as if you know everything better, and stop calling people with different opinions 'morons'. 

    it's way past the point of good taste, straight up.

    you have been allowed to post this insult countless of times, but it would have perhaps benefited you if you were put in your place for doing so. Since you weren't ever stopped in your insults, but have on the contrary been encouraged to do so, you have been allowed to reach the level of arrogance you display, day after day. Don't mistake the free pass you received from the mods, as a gift. It is a poisoned gift, it allowed you to become who you are.

    Each time I see your arrogance, I hope it will have been the last time and you'd come to your senses. It would fill me with peace and joy, to see the day where you'd offer an apology. That would truly be the end of corona. But until people like you continue in your arrogance, corona will never really be over. Because, rather than the virus itself, the real danger was entitled, misguided, ill informed and arrogant self proclaimed experts like yourself.

    Can you give an example of this actually having happened? 

    Yes, I have a physical archival folder full of them.

    covid jurisprudence, covid legislation, scientific papers, opiniated papers, countless of newspaper articles diabolizing those who put questions with the official political line, etc.

    I have my covid diary

    I also have you, as the living, enduring evidence of all that was and is wrong with society as a whole during corona

    I honestly feel the lockdowns/shutdowns have severely affected some people mentally. I think the stress, the feeling of lack of control, the financial stress it brought a lot by losing jobs etc. I think the psychological side effects of all that has altered some of the population. It was a weird time no doubt.

    these effects were known well before the first lockdown, and have been documented in an official WHO document which has now been taken off their site

    furthermore, level headed normal citizens were openly talking about these potential side effects, but they were called stupid by so called experts.

    the lockdowns went through, the damage was done, and now, you don't hear a word from it anymore. the victims can fuck off and take care of themselves.

    welcome in a dystopian expert-guided society, where real indidivual needs are discarded in favor of an illusionary collective benefit

    I dont want to go into detail too much but why do all these movies have so much CGI?

    I watched the first few minutes of the red letter media review and they brought up 2 past scenes I mentioned to my friend last night-

    1. The opening of The Last Crusade. Just good old fashioned practical effects and it looks great! I enjoyed the opening of Dial well enough, but the opening of Crusade looks more realistic and its over three decades old

    2. The 50s chase scene in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull rules and I think that was a better "classic Indy" set piece than anything in Dial. Idk how they went from that to the cartoon monkeys and bugs later in the movie

     

    Liked the movie but it was also less "fun" than the others.

    as a 4-5 year old, I saw the scene where that slave is lowered in the lava pit, just after that scene where that centipede was crawling to the woman's hair

    my dad told me, it was "indiana jones". "Doctor jones".

    Funny, I thought. An indian doctor, who looks like a cowboy. it is one of my earliest memories, clear as day. I don't know much else from when I was that age.

    so there really is nothing higher than indiana jones, when it comes to action movies. it is the start of it all, never bettered.

    Temple of doom was indiana jones to me. Didn't know there were two other movies.

    Indy had a kid helping him in that movie. 5 year old me could relate to that. Indy felt like a father figure.

    This series has shaped me, in more ways than I'm aware of.

    So this fifth, unnecessary movie, decided to piss on the series, deconstructing Indy and making him a sad old loser. 

    I see, hollywood is at an all time crisis these days. I dont know much about hollywood, but with bad movies like Indy 5, insulting the fans, I have a feeling it will get much worse, before it gets any better

    I don’t feel like any of that really happened with the movie. Her character felt like another Indiana Jones character; kind of self serving and part of the chase. She wasn’t constantly one upping him, he out smarter her a few times and vice versa.

    Nothing really “insulted” the hero in the film aside from age itself. He’s noticeably older than in even The Force Awakens, but they can’t be helped.

    The movie had plenty of issues but not so much for the reasons you bring up a lot. Overall, I think it’s an alright edition. It isn’t like the old ones, but it never could be. 

     

    I might watch the movie some day

    the trailer put me off for the reasons given.

    "it's called capitalism"

    ok...

  8. the highest grossing movie of 2023 is super mario bros, standing at more than 500 million dollars grossed domestically.

    the reason?

    the movie respects the hero, and gives the viewer a good feeling. it does not contain identity politics, neo feminism, or other twisted modern trash politics. It does not lecture the viewer, it does not insult the viewer for being white, privileged and capitalist.

    it is, in short, what a movie should be, to entertain the paying customer. The customer pays, the customer is always right.

    Indy 5, is an insult to the hero, it makes the viewer (who is subtly lectured through the movie) feel bad about themselves. That is why it was predicted to bomb, and that is why it is bombing.

    I know, the mods do not allow these views to be expressed, but they are relevant to the topic, and these views have been put out there for us to discuss, by the makers of the movie themselves who willingly put these issues in the movie.

    it is all that can be said about this movie, because there is not much positivity found here.

    We both know this is not just about your opinion of a movie. I am absolutely fine with people having different views from my own, that's what a forum is about. 

    I would never stop someone from posting unless the rules were being broken. 

    it is not my fault people can not handle different opinions

    clearly, that's the case here.

    I despise the movie and it"s message, I post that feeling on here, someone is butthurt, and I'm getting the blame.

    the problem lays with you, not with me

    so why the fuck are you chiming in? Everyone knows your POV on everything so stop trolling or go away

    so I'm a troll because I don't like a movie, and talk about it? :lol:

    why is this message board even here?

    just admit, straight up, that only people who agree with you are allowed to post here, and everyone else is a troll in your eyes

    you just can not handle different opinions.

    It's over. Rejoice!

    of course, it's summer

    like any seasonal flu, it will come back when it gets colder.

    coronaviruses are nothing new. they have existed for million of years and were first formally studied in 1968 when they were designated as a new family of viruses. Basically, it's a cold.

    sars-cov-2 is neither a new phenomenon, neither particularly lethal, neither more contageous than a normal cold.

    People die of the flu too, hospitals have been overpopulated for years now, and governments around the world have scaled back financial support for hospitals.

    don't believe the corona lies

    This is a mishmash of sources or varying quality that more or less (mostly less) address the statements. Just take the first link which supposedly supports your claim that "covid has an extremely low mortality rate for people under 60", well, it doesn't really state that (the quote is "Very low IFRs were confirmed in the youngest populations") but you are not intelligent enough to understand this difference and even if it was correct, it is still not relevant to any of the statements you posted and which I addressed. Then you refer to a page from 2008 (so not related to Covid-19 at all) from WHO that doesn't exist and claim that it stated that "lockdowns [are] useless". What do you think this actually proves? A retracted page about a hypothetical virus (and the page might not even have existed in the first place, I would just have to take your word for it and I am loath to take your word for anything considering how prone you are to misunderstanding the simplest things) from 2008 is supposed to prove to you that lockdowns are useless? Really?  And then you follow up with an article from 2006 about the influenza virus. I don't know whether to laugh or just shake my head. You cannot compare different lockdown measures for a different epidemic. You have to actually look at the effect of the various lockdowns implemented for Covid-19 and see if they worked, and I posted a study on this in my previous post.

    I could go on and on, but you are not worth my time. 

    if someone posts anything, that contradicts your BS theories, you either resort to ridiculing the character reporting on it; and if you notice this tactic is not sufficient because a peasant like me dares to quote neutral sources, you resort to ridiculing my supposed lack of reading capabilities.

    either way, your tactics have always been the same, throughout the entirety of this crisis: ridiculing, putting down, shutting down any opposing view

    one thing your got right though: I really, really have something against you. Your very presence on here, after all the BS and abuse you spouted on here, is offensive to me. So don't mistake the sources and videos I quoted, as aimed at you, which is what a narcissist like you would assume. You are more than welcome, to put me on ignore.

  13. covid has an extremely low mortality rate for people under 60:

    https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.08.21260210V2

    Ioannidis, John PA. "Infection fatality rate of covid-19 inferred from seroprevalence data, in Bulletin of the world health organisation vol. 99,I (2021): 19-33F

    In 2008 already, the WHO, investigating a hypothetical virus with a higher mortality than corona, called lockdowns useless, ineffective, and causing harm to society:

    original link, now removed: https://www.who.int/disease-control_emergencies/HSE_EPR_DCE_2008_3rweb.pdf 

    scientists of the bloomberg school of public health saw no historical evidence that lockdowns have ever prevented spread of virus:

    Inglesby et al., 'disease mitigation measures in the control of pandemic influenza, in biosecurity and bioterrorism: biodefense strategy, practise, and science (volume 4, number 4, 2006), see online https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.556.2672&rep=rep1&type=pdf

    with quickly mutating viruses, as with corona, vaccines makes you more sick:

    lee, wheatley, kent, dekosky, 'antibody - dependent enhancement and SARS-Cov-2 vaccines and therapies', in Nature microbiology, 2020 oct; 5 (10): 1185-1191; matteo gentili & nir hacohen, 'surprising effects of antibodies in severe covid', in nature (vol 591, 4 march 2021) 37-39

    vaccinated people had a more severe reaction towards the delta variant, and were more at risk of becoming severely ill:

    nouara yahi, henri chahinian, jacques fantini, infection-enhancing anti-sars-cov-2 antibodies recognise both the original wuhan / D614G strain and delta variants. a potential risk for mass vaccination?, in  journal of infection (2021)

    vaccinated people can infect other people as easy as unvaccinated people:

    'Vaccinated people (...) carry just as much virus in the nose and throat as unvaccinated people, and may spread it just as readily', said rochelle walensky, chief of the CDC, in the new york times (30th june 2021), see online: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/30/health/covid-cdc-delta-masks.html

    One who is unable to distinguish crackpot theories form reality. 

    If it had been true I would probably not feel too good about it, but considering this is just something you say because you have something against me, I feel entirely fine.

    by all means, keep feeling fine you.

    It's what I did, when you called me a moron each time I offered a counter argument to your theories which have since been proven wrong

    you say, a broken clock is right once a day (that was one of your signature putdown lines). But:

    masks did not prevent infection

    vaccines did not prevent spreading of the virus

    vaccines did not protect against hospitalisation (the virus had mutated long before the first jab was administered, which actually made people more likely to be sick when vaccinated)

    lockdowns did not help

    discriminating unvaccinated people did not help, it only caused hatred in society; hatred which you enabled and encouraged

    congratulations; hope you're feeling fine!

    :lol:

    You argue you can't trust mainstream media, yet you listen to morons and loons. No wonder you are the way you are. 

    I wonder, how does it feel, knowing all your bullshit theories these last two years, have been debunked one by one?

    There is litterally not a single thing you told us, that was true.

    All bullshit, it was :lol:

  16. the thinking process behind the "there's only life on earth" argument, is the same as "the sun revolved around the sun" argument: anthropocentrism. the belief that man is the center of everything.

    well, earth did not turn out to be the center of our solar system, it isn't the center of the milky way, and it certainly ain't the center of the universe.

    the idea, that there is only life on one planet, situated somewhere in the outer region of a galaxy, one of billions and billions of galaxies, is unbelievably stupid. it's flat earther territory.

  17. we live in a universe that is hospitable to intelligent life

    proof to that theory, is our own planet.

    therefore, there is life in the universe.

    Simple as that.

    Humans are so self-centered, they argue that there is only life on earth, because we have not seen life elsewhere. But this negates the fundamental, proven theory, that the universe supports intelligent life. Humans act, like only our own confined region in space time allows life. This is fundamentally flawed logic, and only proof of stupidity which is common to so many people.
