Amen to that. My feelings are similar.

Excellent. Thank you =)

Thank you. This has been super helpful!

They said they feel immense pressure not to say anything negative, and that they feel they have been silenced. They're not even allowed to ask basic questions about the vaccine as part of their work, even tho that's what they do for a living.

They both said they feel immense pressure not to speak out against the vaccine or publish anything against it. So the regular channels of dissent have been removed.

Scientist #1 said that if she mentions anything against the vaccine, there would be retribution against her. This includes publishing any data that detracts from the vaccines safety. They're essentially creating an echo chamber where all news about the vaccine is good news.

Pfizer. She said she doesn't know what's really in it, or how it performs transfers, what lipids it uses, etc.

The first scientist told me that practically no non-Pfizer labs have looked at it. That is not robust. Usually this stuff gets reviewed by everyone, but in this case, technical info is not available to other scientists who wish to learn more about the vaccine - according to her.

But we have noticed problems with it.

Recently I spoke with two senior scientists with decades of experience who specialise in pharmacology, biology, and vaccines, who both work at high-level labs that inspect all types of drugs.

They both were extremely sceptical of the vaccine, with one being openly antagonistic towards it.

YouTube's new rules allow them to post content, but they both say they've been warned by their jobs about speaking out - that they will lose their careers if they say anything against the vaccines.

Where is the room for their opinion? Because they are the top of the tree scientifically. What the hell is going on when we are silencing senior scientists who are extremely worried about an experimental drug that we're giving to the entire world??!

To clarify - the first scientist told me that her lab is not allowed to look at or test the vaccine, even though they test every other drug that comes into the country. She has only found a report from one other non-Pfizer lab that has looked at it under a microscope. To me, that is really scary.

I would have thought that you'd find my comment appropriate, given that Melbourne is now starting to display policies similar to those of China. This is not just empty rhetoric - they are instituting laws that you of all people should find worrisome. Wait... you didn't specify if you support the CCP or support an independent and free Hong Kong, so maybe the opposite is actually true.

Pieces of roof falling on your head from a 5.9 Richter Scale earthquake is not "an emergency". It is actually a sign of White Privilege, since only White People are rich enough to have places with roofs.

More importantly, I am worried your comment has breached the Victorian Standards of Acceptable Speech (VSAS). "This is poor satire" - expressing your own opinions is strictly forbidden and is punishable by years in hard labour camps or by firing squad. Though this sounds extreme, it's really for the safety of the people, to protect them from dangerous thoughts. Please be careful about what things you share online.

(note: this comment is satire)

Melbournians who left their homes for fear of the roof collapsing were jailed for breaking quarantine. Premier Daniel Andrews stated: "Trying to survive a natural disaster is no reason to spread COVID. You will all be punished." (note: this comment is satire)

Actually, it's totally accurate. And I respectfully disagree with your opinion ;)

Correlation !== Causation.

Storybook is breaking our build. It has Reach Router as a dependency. Reach router does not support React 17 - they PR to support it has been open for nearly a year!! So this week, we were required to upgrade to React 17.0.2 and Storybook broke our build because of its dependency of Reach Router. i.e. NOT FUN!!

Oh this simply made my day!!!

Facebook also "delayed" their surveillance plan for WhatsApp.... and eventually implemented it. Apple is now copying Facebook. Apple must abandon this feckless, evil plan, or face losing their user-base. This contradicts Apple's core values.

I am adding my comment for what it's worth. This reckless grab for power is immoral and contradicts Apple's core values. They must stop all attempts at surveilling their users or lose their user-base altogether. Apple, stop this evil plan!

What I don't like about this article (besides the very obvious conclusions that it starts out with and then hits you over the head with) is that it doesn't attempt to reach any wikipedia mod or reviewer for a comment. It's only the author's side and the author's narrative. Also, correlation does not imply causation. The fact that women's pages get deleted more often doesn't mean that there is a gender bias against women.

This is digital tyranny.

Reading that article makes me not want to open a business in the USA, and I really want to open a business in the USA...

I hear you - it's just super weird (and rather suspicious) that FB is doing UI/UX so badly on something. This is not a mistake that they'd usually make, so to my mind, it isn't a mistake.

FB has an almost bottomless budget re time, designers, and coding power. They have UX experts combing over ever pixel on every page. I simply can't believe that they were incompetent re Events.

Hanlon's Razor - "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". I am willing to call Facebook many things. Stupid is unfortunately not one of them.

If they put half an ounce of effort into improving Events, which they definitely have the money for, they would do a great service to their Users, make us happier, and they would definitely make serious money in the process. So why don't they do it?

There is every reason to invest in good UX and good UI. For one, FB could monetize Events in many ways. Secondly, I just don't believe that there is a good reason for bad UX.

So glad I read this. I was about to buy a Mac Mini M1. Now I'm holding off until this issue is clarified or solved.

Do NOT trust Facebook. They have consistently been bad actors. Move to MeWe, Signal, Telegram, or any other platform. The market MUST punish Facebook for their awful behavior.

This only proves that the Big Tech companies need to be regulated and that Section 230 should be repealed. Break their power! Parler should sue them for billions. The federal gov't should also sue them for antitrust violations.
