Do you still stand by this?

The good old "Think of the children" argument again... This is an attack on online privacy, again. I hate it.

It is the parents responsibility to keep their kids safe. We don't ban knives either just because a child could accidentally get hurt by one. And apart from that the regulations are not even well thought out, they will not stop a determined teenager with a lot of time on their hands.

The vaccine does not stop covid, it does not make you immune, it does not stop you from spreading covid and you will have to get another dose after about 3 months. And then there are possible adverse effects like myocarditis, especially for young men. All this should be considered.

There are other ways to strengthen your immune system. They should be considered too. Most people that have died due to covid have been severely ill, morbidly obese or very old. Eating healthy, getting enough exercise and making sure Vitamin D levels are sufficient will make covid much less dangerous. I much prefer that to constantly getting new boosters.

Not OP, but it looks like they are using texlab for completion: https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#texlab

Apart from that there is https://github.com/lervag/vimtex with file type support, document compilation, etc. For grammar checking I use https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/server_configurations.md#ltex and for snippets https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip. See https://github.com/iurimateus/luasnip-latex-snippets.nvim for latex snippets and what you can do with them.

Some facts about the Gaza Strip:

• Population: ~2.3 Million
• Area: 365 km² (141 sq mi)
  • 41 km (25 mi) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide
• Population density: ~6300/km² 1

Gaza is very densely populated. In Gaza live as many people as in Houston. But Houston has an area of 1658.6 km² (640.4 sq mi). Thus Gaza has nearly five times the population density of Houston. New York City is the only city in the US with a population of more than a million and a higher population density than Gaza. 2 The tallest building in Palestine stands at 76.1 m (255 ft). 3

A little less than half of the population of Gaza is made up of children. 4

There are only three ("legal") ways in and out of Gaza:

• Rafah Crossing into Egypt in the south
• Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel in the south
• Erez Crossing into Israel in the north

Gaza has a very small port. It can only be used by small fisher boats. 5

Israel built a wall and fences around Gaza. 6

Considering that recent polls show the AfD at ~30% in some states, I doubt banning it will work. The only reasons it's gotten this big is abysmal politics by the current and former govt. I'm pretty sure banning it is only going to make things worse. And I am not at all convinced you can truly consider them ban worthy like actual Nazis, even though the current govt would very much like you to think this way.

You know what's also been disappearing? The clip where Rachel Maddow claims "the virus stops with every vaccinated person" on MSNBC. Has anyone admitted that the efficacy of the new vaccines has been massively overstated?

Less regulations, it's easier to do "funny stuff" like gain of function research (frankly a euphemism for biological warfare research) in China than in the US. And it's not like the US is just funding the biolab, they have people on site and oversight as well.

Meanwhile in Germany:

Krieger wider Willen - Warrior against his [Olaf Scholz - Germany's chancellor] will

Putins blutige Spur - Putin's bloody path

Gefährlich schwach - dangerously weak

Putin ist ein Drache, der fressen muss - Putin is a dragon that needs to feed

Wie schwach ist Putin? - How weak is Putin?

Please explain your argument, I do not think it makes any sense but instead dangerously misjudges the Russian government/military.

Assuming they have a child-like mentality:

• Why is there no massive bombardment of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure? Might as well do that for cities out of reach instead of blowing up a NPP.
• Why didn't Putin order to have all Wagner soldiers killed after what happened a few days ago?

Scientists still don’t have a clear explanation yet for why the vaccines cause the condition, according to Dr. Paul Burton, Moderna's chief medical officer. He expects the virus’s spike protein, once produced in the cell after vaccination, may generate a reaction in the body that can cause inflammation in the heart.

“We don’t understand yet and there’s no good mechanism to explain it,” he said.

And that's the exact reason why, under normal circumstances, it takes years until you can bring a new vaccine on the market. Even more so, if said vaccine is based on a new technology that's never been widely tested on humans before.

No, I just think they shouldn't do the kind of patent hogging that we observe now and make instructions to produce the vaccine freely available. Like that we can have healthy competition on who is able to produce the vaccine most efficiently. I am pretty sure this would drive pricing down a lot.

BioNTech wins $445 mln German grant for COVID-19 vaccine

Exactly what I thought when I heard about the planned price hike. The results of those public funds should be available to, you know, the public...

So much text and so little content. So apparently it's normal not to test new vaccines for transmission. My problem is that media, politicians and even scientist have spun the narrative that the vaccines are very good at preventing infections and transmission, see for example: https://youtu.be/jDtUWXOmLLg?t=400. Many decisions have been made based on that assumption. And that is wrong.

Doesn't make him wrong on this. I mean if Adolf Hitler said 2+2=4, he'd still be right.

Looks like the US Navy was around Bornholm at the very time and place of the (alleged) sabotage: https://twitter.com/AZmilitary1/status/1574758898086694912

What a coincidence.

Meanwhile German mainstream media is already spewing out theories about Russian sabotage of their own pipeline and conveniently never mentions the actual prime suspect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4O8rGRLf8&t=81s

Do you think this is that much better?

millions of people quit the workforce due to long covid

Do you have a source for that, that number sounds way too high to me?

Yeah lets just keep letting it rip and have our immunity systems get so wrecked that theres now a second pandemic ongoing (monkeypox)

Monkeypox is not a pandemic and they way it currently is, will not become a pandemic.

What do you mean by immune system getting wrecked? Are the vaccines not able to prevent that? Also there is natural immunity, you most likely won't get as sick if you are exposed to the virus or a similar variant of it for a second time.

Tbh, the only alternative to letting it rip now is something like this:

Nobody ever gets to leave their ~2m^3 house.
