"You don't die from cancer out of the blue at 60." Yes you do. You should listen to Ed Dowd (even if the media tell you not to).

True, and there were the mandates as well, quite a few of people I know were hesitant but did it because otherwise they would have lost their job. Still, the booster campaigns are flopping everywhere and a significant number of people have told me they would not do it again because they haven't felt well since, and the fact that the antivaxxers did not die as they were supposed to proves that this whole thing was overhyped. As you say, people were manipulated into fearing a threat, now the dust has settled and many feel deceived, and rightly so. I think this loss of trust in the authorities is deep and will only get worse.

Mid-60s, no health issues, normal BMI. He was diagnosed with an agressive form of cancer in June, when he had his first symptoms, and in September he was dead. The fact that you don't believe people are dying out of the blue does not make it any less real – even if nobody wants to talk about it. https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2023-10-20/debates/69C5A514-9A04-4ED7-B56B-61A3D40E3226/TrendsInExcessDeaths

But as life is unfair, us stupid and deplorable antivaxxers are still alive and well instead of dying as we deserve. Speaking of which, another acquaintance of mine has just passed away. He was a doctor so he got stellar points for education. Much smarter than I as he trusted the science and had four shots of the life-saving vaccine. He just got sick and died out of the blue. Everyone is baffled, of course.

Fallacious argument. According to the New York Times, "more than 5.55 billion people worldwide have received a dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, equal to about 72.3 percent of the world population". https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccinations-tracker.html The vast majority of people were pro-vax, pro-science, willing to do whatever it took and did not listen to other sources than the official ones. The reason why vaccine uptake has plummeted and people who were previously willing are now unwilling is not "misinformation spreading on social media". Hint: empirical observation.

Why is "vaccination confidence" falling? The entire world was pro-vax until 2021, what changed with this one? Perhaps the media should actually investigate the reasons why people don't trust the authorities anymore, instead of "worrying" about "the rise of blah blah blah" (to paraphrase Peter Hotez – who apparently can't figure out why his friends are dropping dead).

I agree. This girl is obviously a good rider, all I am saying is her position on the bike is clearly uncomfortable and I doubt she uses it for long trips.

If both feet don't touch the ground when stopped, then the bike is too big for you. Ride safe

But she is clearly too small for this bike, which aside from being very dangerous must not be pleasant at all. But I get this is the concept of her tiktok channel. PCX 160 is as high as I will go in Thailand. I think a higher cc would be asking for trouble.

Watched a couple of videos. She looks very uncomfortable.

Our masters don't share this view and are buying coastline properties.

The single most wonderful thing that could possibly happen to this planet would be liberation from the usurious financial oligarchy.

I don't smoke. Thanks for illustrating my point. "There are too many people in the world": this idea has penetrated the collective psyche so effectively that it is very difficult to discuss this issue rationally. Let's take my home country, France, as a practical example. We have now reached the point where a working couple (typically with 0-1 kid because that is all they can afford) can't even put decent food on the table anymore. Why? Since 1973 (when very little-known legislation was adopted by then president Pompidou and his finance minister Giscard d'Estaing), the French State has the obligation to borrow from the private financial market, which has resulted in a colossal debt which is simply impossible to repay. This is why the French have to keep paying more taxes, which are not used to improve a country which is literally falling apart on every metric. There are hardly any English sources on this, but here is one: https://mpsa.e-monsite.com/en/quiz/the-law-of-january-3-1973-has-betrayed-france.html Giscard d'Estaing added this law to the Treaty of Lisbon and therefore imposed it on every EU member State in 2007. This is not a quantitative but a qualitative issue. The reason people lead such sad, miserable lives is not overpopulation but debt slavery.

It's striking how the idea that there are too many people in the world has established itself in the collective mind. How about abolishing the IMF and accords such as the Treaty of Lisbon, which force States to borrow their money from private capital markets with interest, and use the billions thus saved to develop infrastructure and implement natalist policies?

I haven't seen a pregnant woman in months.

The answer to Matthew's question is "no". Matthew Perry shares ‘Could I be Any More Vaccinated?’ T-shirt ahead of Friends reunion https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/matthew-perry-vaccinated-friends-reunion-b1853307.html

You honestly can't make this stuff up. "Overwork? Exhaustion?" asks Peter. Gee, I don't know why your friends are just dropping dead, Peter. Climate change, perhaps? Baffling!

Just buzz it off and have one less problem to worry about. If you want to look good, eat well, sleep well and exercise.

The symptoms of what is referred to as "long Covid" match those of vaccine injury. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/covid-19/post-covid-symptoms-long-covid

You haven't debunked anything and only select the names, graphs and facts which fit what you are trying to say, then make sweeping statements to dismiss the whole thing, which is a typical sophistical approach. The study is there for anyone to look at, that is the main thing.

Both of these graphs show clear increases in mortality before vaccination started. No they don't. They show sharp increases in mortality at the time the vaccines were rolled out, in 2021. Not in 2020 during the height of the crisis. You ask where the vaccinated vs unvaccinated comparison is? Great question. Indeed, where is it? All countries stopped reporting the vaccination status of people dying in hospitals several months ago. One can only wonder why, as they would not hesitate to post anything that remotely indicates the unvaccinated are dying. UK example below (click on "Corrections and notices"). https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsinvolvingcovid19byvaccinationstatusengland/deathsoccurringbetween1april2021and31may2023

Let's take Bolivia as an example because it's very clear. ACM spiked during 2020 before any vaccine shots were taking place. That's the blue line spiking before the orange one. We see the exact same for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Phillipines and South Africa. What about Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Suriname, Thailand, Uruguay, etc.? You mention Argentina and Brazil, here are their ACM and vaccination by month, 2017-2023. You can't argue with facts. Anyone with an honest, unbiased mind can only draw logical conclusions when reading the whole report (and not just the bits that fit one's confirmation bias and/or intent).

You omitted Marine Baudin, PhD in microbiology, in good faith no doubt. This study, which has not been refuted so far (plenty of critics but no specifics), shows there were no excess deaths during Covid but an explosion of it after the Covid "vaccines" were rolled out. The data in every country is the same that there was no increase in excess deaths during 2020 and even a decrease in some countries when it was supposed to be a pandemic. And why did excess deaths then take a sharp rise in comparison with years before immediately after the Covid shots were rolled out in every country at the start of 2021? The synchronicity between the many peaks in ACM (in 17 countries, on 4 continents, in all elderly age groups, at different times) and associated rapid booster rollouts allows a firm conclusion regarding causality.

What's your take on this? Authored by 4 PhDs. https://correlation-canada.org/covid-19-vaccine-associated-mortality-in-the-southern-hemisphere/ The paper is based on 17 countries in the Southern Hemisphere and equatorial region. A definite causal link is shown between many peaks in all-cause mortality and rapid vaccine rollouts. The authors quantify the fatal toxicity risk per injection, which is exceedingly large in the most elderly.
