ds206··on Judge orders FDA to hasten FOIA release of Pfizer vaccine docs
Trust the science. Btw, my name is Science ;)
ds206··on Lab Leak 2.0?
No, we're not talking about cover ups. We're talking about studying the virus and it escaping by accident. Also, there is a history of lab leaks so it stands to reason...

Most people that died were 60+ years old

Link to data?
ds206··on Antikythera Mechanism: An ancient 'computer' that 'shouldn't exist' [video]
Do you have a link or more information regarding the pyramid block formation?
ds206··on Facebook-owned sites were down
They decided that they publish too much misinformation and self censored ;)
ds206··on Facebook-owned sites were down
Well, those comments have been deleted now... I guess someone's boss didn't like the unofficial updates going out? :)
ds206··on Facebook whistleblower says she wants to fix company, not harm it
It's easy. They have to hold themselves accountable for their own (weekly?) mistakes. People would trust them again (imo) if they called themselves out and proactively fixed their mistakes.
ds206··on Vaccine experts: Covid-19 booster shots aren't needed now
This doesn't make sense. Do you have a source that says repeated exposure increases your odds of serious disease?
ds206··on Vaccine experts: Covid-19 booster shots aren't needed now
So your assumption is that all the covid patients were unvaccinated?
ds206··on OSHA to require employers with 100 employees vaccinate or test workforce
Yeah, definitely blame unvaccinated people instead of our broken healthcare system. That makes 100% sense /s
ds206··on Reddit rejects moderators' call for harsh measures against Covid misinformation
I think you have that backwards? For thousands of years, you were only told what the people in power wanted you to know. With the invention of the internet, free information flow became the default. I think this may be the first time in history that an average person can come to their own conclusions. The problem is that we've never had free speech to this extent before. It's a new problem that hasn't been solved yet. I just don't think that censorship is the answer but a regression to the old ways.
ds206··on Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence
And every person you don't infect?
ds206··on Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence
"Being a comedian does not magically relieve a person from their responsibility to not credulously spread around dangerous pseudoscience during a pandemic."

Yeah, I think it does. Has he been cancelled? Nope. Does he stop making jokes about almost anything? Nope. Do you listen to his podcast? Nope.

You know how he became so popular? From talking and being open minded. That's _all_ he does. He ain't doing it to be an influencer yet "journalists" actually waste time writing articles like this. I guess the haters need something to read too?

ds206··on The Coronavirus Is Here Forever
This is why I'm unvaccinated... low risk
ds206··on NYC to mandate proof of vaccination for many indoor settings
Yes, because no one ever breaks the rules of the road right? I mean, you've never driven over the speed limit? Parked in a non-parking space? Driven through a red light? Yes, what a great example lol.
ds206··on NYC to mandate proof of vaccination for many indoor settings
I'm feeling the same way.

Also, it's like the vaccine debate has turned into the same arguments as the pro-life/pro-choice debates.

ds206··on America’s Largest Health Care Union Vows to Fight Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccines
We don't have long term data. That's all.
ds206··on Brain imaging before and after Covid-19 in UK Biobank
Do tell. What was I thinking?
ds206··on Brain imaging before and after Covid-19 in UK Biobank
"Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 342 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through July 26, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,340 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine."

ds206··on Google and Facebook mandate vaccines for employees at U.S. offices
That nobody knows the real truth, duh
ds206··on Google and Facebook mandate vaccines for employees at U.S. offices
"This is as much about calling out heretics as it is about health"

Yes exactly. You can see it happening in these comments right now :)

ds206··on Google and Facebook mandate vaccines for employees at U.S. offices
What's the point of a right if it can't be exercised?
ds206··on Google and Facebook mandate vaccines for employees at U.S. offices
Hahaha this cannot be a real comment
ds206··on Treating the Unvaccinated
Wait a second, you think everyone that hasn't been vaccinated is "willfully ignorant"?

Bruh, c'mon, anyone can look at the numbers and come to their own conclusions (until complete censorship takes that option away). I mean, have you not had coworkers disagree with you about how to implement or do something? If the choice is made to use their idea instead of yours, are you secretly hoping for the project to fail?

ds206··on Google Drive bans distribution of “misleading content”
I can understand why you may think science is only on "paper", but discussions are happening on YT and I think it is only going to increase over time.
ds206··on Piped: A privacy-friendly YouTube front end which is efficient by design
Go on... I'm listening ;)

Do you think the fact that no one on the "outside" knows how it works may be the reason for that? Also, do you think that if we did know how it works from the inside that we would agree with you?

ds206··on Trump sues Twitter, Google and Facebook alleging 'censorship'
You've just described the job description of "politician" ;)
ds206··on Trump sues Twitter, Google and Facebook alleging 'censorship'
If a quarter of the people on planet Earth using Facebook isn't enough, is there a threshold in which you WOULD call it a public square? Just curious.
ds206··on The 'Fuck You' Pattern
"digg themselves their own grave" ;)
