Anyone tempted to reply to this troll, here's the kind of other stuff he writes : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28082379


Just speaking my lived experience homie. Most of my family and friends are RNs, many of which, have various chronic issues due to work-related mandatory yearly vaccinations. Their cases are facts backed by practicing virologists.


Some of your linked comment was valid but your "negative natural selection" take was just nonsense. Superbugs have nothing at all to do with vaccinations. It's the result of overly zealous use of antibiotics that gets cut before the point of complete pathogen destruction.

There are also sufficient rates of infection of even healthy subjects to warrant concern considering that Covid cases are far more serious than most Flu cases - another illness that affects the healthy far less but can still lead to hospitalisation or even death. Also, before you mention it, the fact that there are more deaths caused by the Flu than Covid statistically per year is due to the greater proliferation of the Flu virus and it's variants over Covid.

On an individual basis, you are far more likely to develop complications from Covid than Flu, even for healthy subjects.


> ..."negative natural selection" take was just nonsense

You're misquoting me. What I said was "negative selection". My belief is, we need to let the immune systems of humans do what they're designed to do, and stop artificially selecting all humans to live for as long as possible, without regard for the quality of that life. Effectively, we need to live, die, and decay in a much more natural way, just like the plants and animals under my care do. Nothing healthy or positive, from a long-term genetic-health perspective, has ever come from me rescuing a feeble lamb, and bottle feeding it, medicating it, throughout most of its life. In fact, only the opposite happens. But I understand, most humans tend to only value today instead of 30-40 years down the road.

>Superbugs have nothing at all to do with vaccinations. You're getting tunnel vision'ed. Superbugs have been created by chemicals being sprayed onto fields, for no longer than 30-40 years. Superbugs have been created or emboldened by broad spectrum sanitization.

>On an individual basis, you are far more likely to develop complications from Covid than Flu, even for healthy subjects.

Maybe; though this seems largely a function of time at this point seeing how its been such a short time since Covid's been around. However, the likelihood of "complications" due to Covid is slim to none, on an individual basis, especially for healthy folks (according to the CDC.gov data, assuming our census numbers are correct'ish).
