Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
Measles doesn't have a 100% case fatality rate in the unvaccinated. The CFR is actually about 0.1 to 0.3% in healthy populations. IF 'anyone' can catch Pneumonia, why didn't her siblings catch it ?... the answer is clearly both children (who died) caught Secondary Pneumonia as a direct consequence of contracting measles and the body weakening. I agree that they died 'also' because of medical malpractice, but they needed treatment as a direct result of contracting the measles which vaccination could have protected her from. All of that said: I wonder if the treatment the children received actually did more harm than good - in which case, if this can be proven (or shown), then it might be that the children died as a direct result of malpractice when they might have recovered with a well-managed natural recovery, supported by proper monitoring and symptom relief. Thus: it certainly seems they 'could' have been saved with the correct medical intervention, but that medical intervention was necessary in the first place because of the lack of vaccination. Because arguably, she did.. Its the same as when someone dies of HIV... they don't actually die of HIV they die of complications as a result of having HIV. These poor children died due to complications from having the Measles - but as pointed out above, its possible the treatment they received caused more harm than natural recovery. I don't think so at all - the child would very likely (97%) not have died had she been vaccinated. Its not as if she died in a car-accident after contracting measles and *they* reported measles was the cause of death. *You can always spot a conspiratorial tone when someone starts talking about “them” or “they.” Makes me wonder - who exactly are they supposed to be? Reasons Why Immunity May Fail Post-Vaccine (as per the NYC 2011 case study). Waning immunity: Even though the MMR vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella) is highly effective, antibody levels can decline over time, especially if only one dose was received. Some individuals may lose protection years after vaccination. Imperfect protection: The MMR vaccine is about 93% effective after one dose and 97% after two doses. That still leaves a small percentage of people vulnerable, even with full vaccination. High-exposure settings: In close-contact environments like households or healthcare settings, even partially immune individuals can get infected if exposed to a large viral load. This study doesn’t mean the vaccine doesn't work - it actually shows how effective it is, because: - The outbreak was limited in size. - The majority of vaccinated people did not get sick, even if exposed. - It emphasises the importance of two doses and potentially checking antibody levels in high-risk groups. -

California these days?: No way, Jose? Better to live in Mexico?
I more wonder about the rapid demographic shift before 1860, when there were still 5% natives there. Scalping and head bounties had not decimated all of them, yet. Call about a change in culture... -

The US Debt Problem
Me: How much did Donald Trump run budget surpluses every year and pay down the debt like a fiscal conservative would do? ChatGPT: Donald Trump did not run budget surpluses during his presidency, nor did he reduce the national debt. Federal Budget Deficits Under Trump (approximate figures): 2017: $665 billion 2018: $779 billion 2019: $984 billion 2020: $3.1 trillion (pandemic year) 2021: $2.8 trillion (partially his budget; Biden took office in January) Total deficit added during Trump’s time: Around $7.8 trillion to the national debt. National Debt: At the start of Trump’s presidency (Jan 2017): ~$19.9 trillion At the end (Jan 2021): ~$27.8 trillion That’s an increase of about $7.9 trillion, the third-largest increase in U.S. history in dollar terms, behind George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Fiscal Conservatism? Despite campaigning as a fiscal conservative, Trump: * Signed a major tax cut in 2017 (TCJA) that reduced federal revenue. * Increased military spending and maintained most domestic spending. " Did not propose or enforce substantial spending cuts. ChatGPT is "artificial intelligence", or basically crowd sourced information. The response to this from butthurt conservatives who feel bad because they're been exposed for liars? "Natural Stupidity" --The most dangerous and destructive force known to mankind. Truly impressive. Salute 🫡 -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
The one who was treated unfairly was your wife, I give you that point. But you were treated by the letter of the law, there was no corruption, no deviation from normal procedure, you got a fair hearing and also a fair penalty reflecting your offense. You had a place to sleep like all the others, and even breakfast -- not quite half board, but what did you expect? Where is this unfairness you speak of? -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
I am more focused on the part where the officer sent me to a cell and then interrogated my wife. This behavior mirrors the tactics used by secret police forces around the world, including the NKVD and the KGB. Many of you Westerners don’t seem to see the fine line between enforcing the law and violating basic human rights. It's easy to overlook this because you’re used to living in a free society. However, this is a dangerous trend, one that I’ve personally witnessed more and more lately. -

China warns ,don’t appease trump
The EU did put tariffs on China mainly electric cars 45% however thanks to that brilliant multi-bankrupt businessman in the White House the EU and China will look into setting minimum prices on electric vehicles. Negotiations set to start immediately. The US is being frozen out. The EU and China are getting closer. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/eu-china-start-talks-lifting-eu-tariffs-chinese-electric-vehicles-handelsblatt-2025-04-10/
