If this concerns you, you should looking at whats on your plate and asking yourself why we are clearing rainforests and land to grow massive amounts of crops something like 80% of which goes towards feeding arond 55 billion land animals every year in the US alone for us to eat. The "post animal economy" is here already, and it doesn't mean eating plastic protein lol, just eat the Canoeing plants . Think how much crop it takes feed a cow, its a completely inefficient and unsustainable process even before you factor in water, land and emissions etc etc. Theres nothing woke about it, if we all gave up beef we could have petrol cars for another century and it be enviromentally better off

I've kept fairly quiet about the vax stuff, and here's my take.. ah, here it comes..
I'm vaccinated, my kids are vaccinated, against all the normal stuff. Calling me anti-vax would be idiotic.
But those are vaccines that have gone through extensive, long-term clinical trials (*) and have been improved, tested and studied for literally decades (*). If something goes wrong people know what to do(*) to help, and the vaccine makers are liable for the results(*).
Not one of those four factors of that applies to corvid vaccines.
The stats of people dieing 'with' and 'of' are massively conflated everywhere I see. Comorbidities (overweight, high blood pressure, already sick and old) are the _prime_ factor in most of the deaths. In Israel 95% of the corvid deaths in July were vaccinated individuals and most of those were over 70yo. Same result this month as well. You're not going to live forever.
That and then let's consider how most epidemics peter out with each generation of the disease becoming _less_ lethal. Asymptomatic corvid is the future of the disease and like the l000000s of other viruses we have (which don't harm us and we barely notice) a mixture of natural immunity and being increasingly asymptomatic will mean it becomes a nothing. Everything about 'Delta' is exactly that. The disease does not benefit from killing people, it's just a side effect.
Instead we have a bizarre power grab via some kind of modern medical dictatorship, governed by neurotic head girls and head teachers. Every time I see the demands it's like some sort of weird compliance stick used to beat people.
My actual worries people under 50 dieing of reactions the vaccine. And that our lives have already been 'damaged' by all the bullprarrie canoe regulations. Kids under 3 have hardly seen anyone without a mask on. Think of the psychological damage.. Kids need to see faces. The birth rate itself is depressed by all this. I know some of you don't like kids and think there are already too many people, you're free to feel that way, but you were children too once. And I like kids.
Sure I might take a corvid vaccine, if they keep working on it for another 8 years and all those four factors apply to it (it's absolutely safe and very very very well tested and the maker is liable etc etc blah blah) - maybe if all aspects of public life are policed to the point you can't even exist without being vaccinated ? Who can say. I just hope the reaction at the polls is strong enough against this current trend. But don't forget, perhaps 50% or more of us fools voted the current lot in.
But honestly, I think it might all be forgotten about in 8 years. That's two elections away in most countries and everyone's memory gets reset each election.
Glad I got that off my chest. Back to the regular programming. Someone please post a tool resto vid.

But then it is late and I have a lot going on right now... lol Is it that we'd stop chopping down virgin rainforest (ergo decreasing the rate of decrease of plant life) therefore would have more CO2 sink to soak up CO2 emissions from human activities like driving? That would suggest that 'anthropogenic global warming', sorry, 'climate change' (now it's not warming ) is real... and that's a whole separate thread lol It also ignores that the planet is greening due to the planting of forests and the increases in CO2 and warmth being exactly what said plants like to grow bigger I will say that I'm conflicted on meat, though. I like animals, I even rescue massive spiders that I'd rather just disappeared, lol, so the idea of killing something at least semi-sentient is difficult mentally. But... Chicken. Rare Steak. Bacon sarnies. Venison. If we're not supposed to eat it, why do they make it taste so good lol

Totally agree on the kids front. We've kept things as normal as possible in the wider family, but I read on PH an anecdote about a two year old that screams every time they see an unmasked person that isn't their parents... That is surely lifelong psychological damage, or at least many years of therapy. re: the development/testing, I refer to my earlier post on how they've unblinded the Pfizer (IIRC) Control Group and had 98% uptake of the actual jab. How exactly are they planning to monitor long term effects relative to any control group if there are barely any left in the 'official' group and they are pushing to inject 90+% of everyone in the real world?? Madness! I'm not convinced it is going to be over any time soon, though, with the remarkably coordinated approach being seen in many countries... and the fact that it may be our 'vaccine passports' are already getting lined up for repeated booster shots so we can gain our green tick like good boys and girls! lol

Bacon sarnies. Venison. If we're not supposed to eat it, why do they make it taste so good lol No one mentioned veganist lad, just drop certain things like beef would make a huge difference you don't have to join a cult. I see beef as the old American V8 (sounds amazing, not a lot of power for the capacity/fuel needed) of the food world, tastes great but takes a hell of a lot of fuel to produce not very much calories/protien. Its just an inefficient medium to produce calories, apparently the animal industry in the EU bloc produces more C02 per year than cars/vans combined but statistics and bullprarrie canoe Guardian articles aside its just common sense and basic maths, it takes more resources to create and raise a baby animal, feed and fatten it up for food and drive it to a slaugher house and ship it all over the world via fossil fuel based means rather than just feed the human directly with less damaging produce. And to what end? So the human population can just drive themselves into an obesity crisis lol? As well as the climate discussion, deforestation and soil quality errosion are big issues we face going forward regardless of the food source, most of our problems are driven by over production and consumption and the unbridled pursuit for profit. If you think about it, isn't it crazy that food isn't driven by health its driven by profit? I'm a capitalist myself but I still think the conflict of interest in taking tax payers money to subsidise producing any type of food (animal based or not) for industry profit at the expense of human and planet health is a big problem/injustice even with animal ethics aside would you not agree?. Everyone is conflicted on meat, and theres always going to be a "but" for most people but you sound like your at least honest as really theres no real good reason to eat it other than the taste and convenience . Anyone who sees images of those idiot American big game hunters sat next to some dead wild Giraffe, Elephant or any other majestic beast and feels angry/upset about it has some degree of animal ethics and compassion in them. The hardest part is asking yourself the difficult question of whether you're a hypocrite for allowing Pigs to be sent to a gas chamber (UK) just so you can have a bacon sarnie lol, I'm sure the game hunters would say "If we're not suppose to hunt it, why make it so fun to hunt them" but really, its not even that, most of us haven't really considered it, we are not cruel by nature. I don't think the label vegan is really that useful, it puts people into a defence mode as its implies right vs wrong and percieved as a state of perfection that must be achieved or you'll be excommunicated from the cult lol. Really its just the calm reality of just eating cheaper, healthier more sustainable food and doing your best to avoid animal products where possible. It might not be the answer to climate change but really what is there to lose? If you own a pair of leather shoes or have a leather Nardi classic in your car its not the end of the world, even if you cave in an smash down a steak once in a while you're still doing less harm overall.
