  1. What you failed to note is that he went on to University in Hong Kong, then a British colony.
  2. Do I really have to explain this? For that scenario to occur there would have to be a worldwide conspiracy among all auto manufacturers. If just one refuses to go along, the jig would be up for the rest of them.
  3. If there's one trend that's been consistent, it's that battery technology has consistently outpaced predictions This article was written in 2015 Electric vehicle batteries ‘already cheaper than 2020 projections’ https://www.carbonbrief.org/electric-vehicle-batteries-already-cheaper-than-2020-projections And developments like this kee on blindsiding those who make predictions. And to fair, even the researchers themselves. A New Solid-state Battery Surprises the Researchers Who Created It Engineers create a high performance all-solid-state battery with a pure-silicon anode https://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/meng_science_2021
  4. And how do Tesla's rate of fires comare to Internal Combustion Vehicles?
  5. "Consumer Reports estimates the average EV battery pack’s lifespan to be at around 200,000 miles, which is nearly 17 years of use if driven 12,000 miles per year. Looking forward, Tesla says it’s working on technology that would enable its electric car batteries to last for as many as one million miles, which is likely more than the rest of the car might hold up. Now that’s a lifetime-of-the-vehicle component." https://www.myev.com/research/ev-101/how-long-should-an-electric-cars-battery-last As for the rest of your comments, why bother addressing nonsense?
  6. There's also the fact that EVs are much simpler mechanically with far fewer parts than an ICE. What's more, because of that, they are projected to last a lot longer than internal combustion autos. you won't have to buy a new car nearly as often.
  7. If you're attempting to advertise your astonishing obliviousness in respect to developments in battery storage capacity, you've succeeded.
  8. Solid-state battery A solid-state battery is a battery technology that uses solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte, instead of the liquid or polymer gel electrolytes found in lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries.[1][2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_battery
  9. Global sales of electric cars accelerate fast in 2020 despite pandemic Global sales of electric cars accelerated fast in 2020, rising by 43% to more than 3m, despite overall car sales slumping by a fifth during the coronavirus pandemic. Tesla was the brand selling the most electric cars, delivering almost 500,000, followed by Volkswagen. Sales of electric cars more than doubled in Europe, pushing the region past China as the world’s biggest market for them, according to data published on Tuesday by EV-volumes.com, a Sweden-based consultancy. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/19/global-sales-of-electric-cars-accelerate-fast-in-2020-despite-covid-pandemic How did GM & Ford do in 2020 sales?
  10. Clearly, you haven't been following the extraordinary progress in increased battery capacity. Ya think that virtually all the major auto companies are investing billions in solid state battery development because they like to burn cash?
  11. It might be possible to be more wrong, but you would really have to work hard at it Battery Pack Prices Cited Below $100/kWh for the First Time in 2020, While Market Average Sits at $137/kWh Lithium-ion battery pack prices, which were above $1,100 per kilowatt-hour in 2010, have fallen 89% in real terms to $137/kWh in 2020. By 2023, average prices will be close to $100/kWh, according to the latest forecast from research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). For the first time, battery pack prices of less than $100/kWh have been reported. https://about.bnef.com/blog/battery-pack-prices-cited-below-100-kwh-for-the-first-time-in-2020-while-market-average-sits-at-137-kwh/ The researchers found that the cost of these batteries has dropped by 97 percent since they were first commercially introduced in 1991. This rate of improvement is much faster than many analysts had claimed and is comparable to that of solar photovoltaic panels, which some had considered to be an exceptional case. The new findings are reported today in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, in a paper by MIT postdoc Micah Ziegler and Associate Professor Jessika Trancik. https://news.mit.edu/2021/lithium-ion-battery-costs-0323 And solid state batteries are now in the works that will be cheaper, fireproof and offer higher storage capacity and short charging times.
  12. The cry of "Covid malarky" coming from someone who claims that Merck's new medication is "repackaged ivermectin". Some people have no self-awareness at all.
  13. You raised the issue of effects from vaccination arising years later, not me. As I pointed out, if it's the possibility of latent effects that concerns you, it makes more sense to be concerned about contracting covid rather than about being vaccinated.
  14. What vaccine were they vaccinated with? How long ago were they vaccinated? And statistically speaking, typically you will find all sorts of apparent anomalies when the group being sampled is large enough. In other words, you're cherry-picking.
  15. Exactly how do you isolate / the old/ unfit/ abusers? Who's going to provide care for them? Robots?
  16. There's never been a case of a vaccine giving rise to a latent disease. Whereas that's not true of viral diseases, is it. So if it's somewhere in the not so distant or distant future you're concerned about, clearly it makes a long more sense to fear the long term consequences of not being vaccinated.
  17. Honestly, your English here is confusing. Are you saying that because some medication was created for one condition it can't be used preventatively for another? And what does "medicine for things" mean?
  18. Were those trials done before or after the advent of the Delta variant?
  19. Or more depending on the country. For examle russia. It claims to have 215,438 deaths from covid to date. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/russia But excess deaths tell a different story. Just to clear, excess deaths are computed on the basis of what statisticians or actuaries predict would have been the case had there not been covid at all. So that's well over 500,000 deaths right there.. Actually even more than the lower grah show since it stos at the end of Setember whereas the confirmed death run until Oct 13. Anyway that overage amounts to about 2.5 times the claimed number. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-excess-deaths-covid?country=~RUS
  20. Your reply is entirely irrelevant to the point that you originally raised. Here it is once again "There is no such thing as preventive medicine. If so, it is prescribed by a doctor based on an existing condition. If doctors recommend aspirin to people without ant existing conditions, they are committing malpractise which is to be seen as serious negligence." What don't you understand about standard of care and the fact that doctors who prescribed aspirin as a preventative were in no way violating that standard. Since you're so fond of definitions, here's one for you 1.the branch of medical science that deals with prevention of disease. 2.a medication or other agent used for prophylaxis. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/preventive-medicine It's one thing not to be a native seaker of a language, quite another to offer claims about it that one is clearly not qualified to make.
  21. They've withdrawn it from use because there are alternative vaccines that are somewhat safer in that regard. But the fact is they would be far better off taking Moderna then remaining unvaccinated.
  22. The Supreme Court in 1905 that govt has the legitimate power to mandate vaccinations. It's settled law.
