Covid-19 vaccine

[NyaakoXD]

It's a shame that a death causes someone to change their mind. If they listened to science to begin with then this could've been avoided.

And that happens very often, sadly. People losing friends or loved ones to COVID-19 all because they never listened and regrets that they should have listened, but instead just kept going with the lies and conspiracies until it's all too late.

What's also scary is that with so many of these stories coming up, people are getting desensitized of them and still not realize the seriousness of it all.

I think the problem is that it has become very difficult to find the truth, without a certain amount of effort. One of the unfortunate downsides of the age of information.

People have also become a lot more suspicious of scientific study as it's often used as a weapon by the non-scientific types. The implications of that one terrify me.

In all fairness, Google provides ranked news sources, and the first page is almost entirely pay walled it's partially their fault for not providing a sufficiently large AdSense cut to make subscriptions a thing of the past. I would argue that nowadays the public is *less* informed despite ostensibly having *better* access to information thanks to the proliferation of the Internet. There are fairly easy ways to bypass this limitation (even Google themselves does this unwittingly as opening a published article via AMP magically removes the paywall, hint hint), but they're not very well-known. Each TV station seems to have specific sociopolitical agendas and nobody is truly unbiased or particularly reliable. Getting informed in the information age has become hard work.

Got my first shot 2 weeks ago, my second one is due in October (i got the Pfizer one). Things here in Brazil took a LONG time to get going and now, although maybe 6 months behind everyone, people are getting their shots at a reasonable pace.

Also, I just wanna say: hope everyone is being safe out there. Please, wear a mask and don't make decisions for someone else's body.

I live in a country that is probably literally on the top end of the rankings regarding deaths and the number of cases, with a homicidal president who doesn't give a fuck. Every time I see how life is moving forward in NA, with concerts starting again and people being able to get together again I die a little bit inside and start to think if I'm EVER gonna have a normal life again.

Sorry for the venting, I just needed that.

First, they say people saying there was going to be Covid ID where wrong
Them they say Ok but they won't force you to get vaccinated
and now we are heading to they gonna put a Chip on you

Hey guys. Quick question. My vaccine was 2 days ago (J&J) and I'm feeling good again. Is it save to drink alkohol? Or are there any downsides to it in terms of side effects?

That is not at all related to covid, it's ongoing research that is aimed at warning people equipped that unusual reactions are going on in their bodies, meaning there is some sort of infection going on. It was already a subject of research before covid, it will be a research subject after covid, and it's definitely not ready to be put in place and nobody is planning to use that in the close future on anyone.

You are continuously spreading dangerous misinformation, please stop and do your research before posting stupid things like that.
It is a research project, not a real thing that is going to be enforced or put to use anytime soon.

In case anyone is actually interested in the real story (and other research projects they have going on regarding infections and pandemics in the Defense department) here is an article that talks about that and a "blood filter" that could theoretically be a future technology to help clear out infections travelling in the bloodstream (for example used in a dialysis machine): https://www.cbsnews.com/news/last-pandemic-science-military-60-minutes-2021-04-11/

Microchips that can detect the onset of illness are the future. We already have proof of concept chips that can reasonably detect evidence of heart attacks before they happen, evidence of cancer, etc. How is this a bad thing? They aren't compulsory.

Personally, anything that makes me more of a cyborg is a good thing.

you should only avoid things that are known to have anti-inflammatory effects in the next few days after a vaccine injection (because the inflammation is what triggers or enhances the immune response in most cases). I think alcohol should be "safe" (with moderation, as always, abuse of substances is bad for your health anyway )

The short answer is that it's relatively safe to drink alcohol (at least, as safe as alcohol can be) if you feel well enough to do so after getting vaccinated. If you are experiencing side effects, drinking alcohol might make you feel worse. Heavy drinking, with or without the vaccine, isn't recommended.

Well I mean, this is a thread in the politics subforum about covid vaccines, so he's kind of entilted to this kind of question, however "stupid" it might look to some of you

And we can only assume from a lot of the anti-vax posts, election fraud posts, etc. that this community also consists of a lot of heavy drinkers.

I do but I also know I'll get very accurate data here compared to google

You really should be asking your doctor who has your specific medical history though.

 

[RocaBOT]

On that point I will agree, and I'd hope we'd be clever enough to redirect anyone that has questions for which the consensus is unclear of that requires more specific knowledge to their GP (or any other medical doctor that would be competent really) instead of citing tweets randomly and take that at face value

I both love, and worry about this. The latter only in the sense that sometimes I overthink a little too much in terms of cyber/bio hacking, not to the extreme of, but in relation to, scenarios like what you would see in Cyberpunk or most other cyber inspired dystopias. Is it realistic? No, probably not, not at this point or even in the foreseeable future. However, people in 1950 didn't understand the concept of, much less worried about, a lot of the tech we have today. I mean, technologically speaking, if they can put crypto miners in uTorrent clients and web browsers, putting something on a chip going into your body meant to do something as little as collecting data wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility. I'm going to follow this tech in particular, as I'm definitely intrigued by it.

And we can only assume from a lot of the anti-vax posts, election fraud posts, etc. that this community also consists of a lot of heavy drinkers.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. Bazinga!

according to Lacius the future is the government forcing chips on you and tracking you but trump was the dictator.
