I don't really mind it so much, but I also kind of like looking at various bits of news. The downside is that I tend to be like a squirrel with it so any attempts to do deep research gets sidetracked when something new pops up.

You're not. I tend to upvote on posts that use it as a voting system or on posts I consider unusually good, which means the majority I just read and move on.

My best guess would be "the current path is (or is going to) keeping the blackmail systems from working as intended and or put it in danger of being revealed."

Funnily enough, for a moment (before reading the headline), I thought the jellyfish in the picture were masks.

Aside from making vaccine mandates/passports easier to implement, I'm not sure this will change any behavior regarding COVID. Pfizer was already manufacturing and selling it's product.

It seems we get package insert info now, though! (https://www.fda.gov/media/151707/download)

Based on this (https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/development-approval-process-cber/vaccine-development-101) it looks like a BLA is pretty much FDA approval. Companies can manufacture and sell the vaccine for the approved purpose.

There are some childhood vaccines that need more than one shot (like MMR or polio), though the gaps are longer than 2 weeks apart.

I still likely wouldn't have wanted the vaccine. My main motivation for taking it would have been to keep family members from worrying about me. On the other hand, I have long had a personal policy against being the first adopter of new technology (vr headsets being the exception). Plus I try to avoid taking medicine if it doesn't change the final outcome since I hate the idea of becoming dependent on it.

The Catholic church says that the J&J vaccine is immoral due requiring abortion to be made, but said that Moderna and Pfizer were morally alright to take (in the interest of saving future lives) because abortion was used in testing rather than necessary for their creation. However, abortion was still used in testing which does tie into matters of conscience.

My guess would be Intersex and Asexual?

For me, it was just curiosity. If a bunch of people seem to hate idea x while other people continue to believe it despite that hate, I start to wonder what it is about idea x that people agree or disagree with. Then I just want to learn more about that idea and get sucked in research until I reach a conclusion on the matter.

I use brave and I can see the text in your post.

This is the version I'm using: Version 1.24.85 Chromium: 90.0.4430.212 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Just so you know, I am basing this somewhat from Decoding Symbols. I'm trying to see if I can use the methods written there to get information or not.

It looks like it could be given the talk of white and black. Plus the fact that an article was written when only four patients have this fungus so far. It's getting tied to COVID by saying that it has the same symptoms, but that the patients didn't test positive for that, which also seems like an odd thing to write about given the incredibly small number of patients so far. I wasn't paying enough attention to the black fungus to see if articles did the same thing there, however.

Apparently this fungus normally lives inside the human body (https://www.cdc.gov/fungal/diseases/candidiasis/index.html) without problems.

Do you think birth control implants could be a reaon for magnets sticking? The video I saw had a lot of woman and if they didn't want to get pregnant, they could have gotten something like that. And this site indicates that there are some metal implants out there: https://nypost.com/2018/04/11/fda-restricts-sale-of-painful-metal-birth-control-implant/

Thanks. I guess my post gave me enough upvotes to lose it, then.

I did want to ask a question regarding handshakes, if you don't mind me moving a little off topic. :) Mine vanished after a post I made got about 13 points (before that my points were entirely from comments). I've seen other accounts about this old with thousands of points from both comments and posts, so I was wondering if I have a handshake still and the css changed so that I can't see it (maybe not displaying properly on my browser?) or if it really is gone from the html due to the post upvotes.

Not a doctor or biology expert, but that's generally how vaccines work. You insert an inactive virus so that the important pieces are floating around in the body, but it can't do anything (I believe a risk of this method is that a live virus can occasionally slip into the vaccines). The body recognizes it as a foreign intruder, attacks it, and records information about so that it will recognize it more easily in the future and be faster with it's defense.

Hunter Biden had delivered his computer for repair, then forgot to ever pick it up. After a certain amount of time, the computer legally became the repair man's who then looked inside and noticed the pictures. He later grew concerned for his safety and delivered the laptop to someone who knew both Rudy Giuliani and Trump. The FBI did get a hold of the laptop in 2019, so I believe what Giuliani has is a copy.

That statement is a NY Post article (https://nypost.com/2021/04/13/team-biden-halts-jj-vaccine-and-a-return-to-normal/) and isn't on his website with his other statements (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/).

The NY Post actually commented on that statement, too: https://nypost.com/2021/04/16/trump-takes-jab-at-bidens-lunacy-of-jj-vaccination-pause/

Regardless, I'd be wary of letting someone who doesn't even know you be so influential in such a decision. People change their minds all the time. Also, no matter how much information Trump has access to, he's still just one person and could be mistaken about certain things. And even advice that's good for the general population could still be very bad for a particular individual.

I was. Maybe Brave blocked the paywall code?

It's a pretty new story, so I imagine more will shake out if an investigation starts. I hadn't even known the post office investigated things online rather than let another government agency handle it.
