Paracelsus originated the medical maxim "The dose makes the poison". He is known as the Father of Toxicology. Use Google, you can further your education.

So have you, if you don't know the difference between ingenuous and disingenuous.

You've obviously not been acquainted with Paracelsus. There are a plenitude of peer-reviewed studies indicating vaccinated people are significantly less likely to suffer from long COVID than unvaccinated people. Please post a PEER-REVIEWED study of injury caused by COVID vaccines.

The USA is 4.2% of the world's population. It had 17.4% of the total COVID deaths. Even the red states managed to have higher rates of infection than blue states. Australia had one of the lowest death tolls, with the protocols it used to prevent infection. If you can't connect the dots from there, no point in further discussion.

Looks like you skipped nutrition classes.

According to these data, there are 20 million people still recovering from COVID. What's the betting the vast majority of those were not vaccinated? All I see on this thread are daft opinions, no facts or data. Anti-science, poorly educated.

Heaven forbid you should answer the question. There is no evidence mRNA vaccinations present more risk than any other form of vaccination. The 19 nuns who died in Italy is a fiction dreamed up by the anti-vax brigade.

IMO the evidence I have, based on the personal experience another poster on here is fond of touting, is sufficient to convince me the vaccinations worked. The test for COVID work as well. Post evidence otherwise. Hypothetical question: In terms of mortality rates, the worst diseases are small pox, measles, diphtheria and polio. If anti-vaxxers were given freedom of choice, even as children, would they (a) Roll the dice with Mother Nature? (b) Choose vaccinations where the science indicating they were effective was evident?

My son had two friends in their thirties who rejected vaccination. Both were healthy, both died of COVID. OTOH, I got a vaccination as soon as I could. I am in the most vulnerable age bracket. Caught COVID twice. Both times, three days of sore throat and runny nose, that's all she wrote. My Thai GF would not get vaccinated. Social media nonsense from Thais just like you. She was really ill for 12 days. 23 years younger than me. "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is". ( Winston Churchill )

McKinsey & Company are corporate seagulls. They promise a gullible board cost savings, taking 10% of the alleged cost savings. In the process they destroy employee morale. No-one ever goes back in a couple of years to check whether the purported cost saving was actually achieved long-term. It would be too embarrassing. A corporate seagull flies in with much screeching, squabbles over scraps, then flies out again after defecating on everyone in the organisation.

That explains why I am healthy for my age, although I do find it's hard to hold back in an elevator.

Precious little that I can see. Or factual analysis. There is even a guy here claiming positive thoughts will stop people from getting sick. News flash: Viruses don't care what one is thinking. Fact: During the pandemic, if you caught COVID, you were 6-7 times more likely to require ICU admission to stay alive, if unvaccinated.

US farmers can't sell their produce to China. Reciprocal tariffs have resulted in cancelled orders and halted shipments. China is buying its food elsewhere. Potassium is an essential fertilizer for many crops. America imports 93% of its potash from Canada, now subject to tariff. A new tax on farmers. Winning.

Imagine if you practised what you preached.

You would be disqualifying all of Trump's MAGA base.

Australian federal election Saturday May 3. It's almost certain a leftist government will be voted in again. They were floundering in the polls prior to Trump taking over the White House. Like Canadians, Australians don't like bullies.

I like the pad thai goong at the food court in Big C. Oishi Ramen is the only other restaurant I go to in a mall, for takeaway. It's coming up to ten years when I was last in a bar.

Perhaps we should be more scared of this, and how it affects the White House. https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/health/2025/04/28/junk-food-memory?

Putin is, dummy.

An inability to tolerate fools gladly.

The state of your mental health has never needed to be debated.

When I traveled on the company dime for about 25 years, it was business class flights, 4-5 star hotels, and expensive restaurants. Still remember Antoine's in New Orleans. Tiger prawns in piri-piri sauce fresh out of the Mozambique channel. I am a lot more careful when it is my money I am spending. Travel is a transitory experience. I prefer to spend up on more permanent items, such as a good smartphone, golf clubs, or appliances.
