Yes, fighting gravity is very exciting. But if we continue to do it, wrecking the planet, the outcome will be the same as if we all fight it by jumping off very tall buildings. .

I was thinking of posting this shortly after the pandemic started but decided I'd be shouted down: With the airline industry virtually shut down, we have a golden opportunity to shut it down almost completely for ever. It isn't needed and is hugely damaging to this planet. It was only created...

All part of unnecessary global waste. Fighting gravity by using energy is stupid. .

Germany, certainly not warmer than us, has some whole villages off the grid year round on solar power. They are Europe's leaders in solar. "Despite being among the countries with the least sunshine hours, Germany is one of the largest solar power producers in the world. ... In 2019, they...

Such things are easily said but can't be done, thanks to the traps we've built for ourselves. To illustrate: As a kid at the start of the 1940s, for my mother I'd nip over the road to Mr Grice at the corner shop. No chance of getting run over, traffic didn't exist, just a very rare motor...

You should be a speaker with this message at COP26. They are going to desperately need excuses in 20 years time. .

Three years after the Fukushima Daiichi plant meltdowns, Japan introduce pre-distribution of iodine tablets to everyone living within 5 kilometres of a nuclear power station. But this was with local physician oversight to ensure those possibly vulnerable to the iodine didn't get them. .

I only see the Covid vaccine story. Try this link: https://www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20211101/Study-shows-COVID-vaccination-highly-protective-against-death-especially-for-older-age-groups.aspx?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=upday The link title's text gives the gist. .

He just gets stumped when they ask his first name. ;) (damn keyboards!) .

My understanding is that they are useful even after the exposure for children, since they are likely to still be low in thyroid iodine, depending on their age. They don't prevent radioactive iodine takeup of course, but can limit it. .

I shall have to tick off the scientist who published that information! Some places add iodine to the drinking water, Derbyshire in particular to prevent the infamous Derbyshire goitre caused by the lack of iodine in their water, And of course iodine tablets are issued immediately after...

Agreed, the first vaccine for polio was useless too, So they really aren't vaccines, the term used, as I posted once before, ambitiously. Just a polite way of saying wrongly. .

Iodine? Essential to the thyroid, it cannot pass through the placenta so we aren't born with any and have to gain it from water primarily afterwards. Ergo it is foreign. .

But when I posted the same in the past, you posted an Agree! It's not me you are disagreeing with, it's most of the definitions of a vaccine. For example this medical one I posted earlier, note the last sentence, showing how our current vaccines fail to met the definition since they do not...

I doubt there is a precise one. Probably the nearest are the legal definitions. These all require that a vaccine prevents catching the disease in question, sometimes stating by conferring immunity. Clearly the Covid vaccines we have at present too often fail on these definitions. This...

Agreed some antigens do, the definition of an antigen is so wide, but that doesnt alter the strict definition of a vaccine which is more precise. .

You continue to be silly if you wish. You posted a funny emogee to my post, but scientifically trained Woosh witn vaccines knowledge posted a Like Strict definition of a vaccine: "A vaccine is a type of medicine that trains the body’s immune system so that it can fight a disease it has not...

They are, but those who use them sometimes do not obey the rules as nigelbb showed. All over this country countless people who have been vaccinated are catching Covid and testing positive. Each one of those is a vaccine failure, so no vaccine effect gained as strictly defined. But they do...

Not true, unless of course bluffing is the order of the day. .

No I'm not, since what we have are not vaccines in the strictest sense: The purpose of a vaccine is to prevent one from contracting the disease in question. Our Covid "vaccines" completely fail to do that. Not only do they allow one to contract Covid, one can contract it more than once...
