Yes. And it just encourages people to wallow in their fantasy version of biology. Where people think a vaccine can cause any effect in the body whatsoever. That it has to be antibody mediated is right out the window.

That’s so nice. I received a delivery from Purolator today, they always put it outside the apartment door and then bugger off. All the delivery people do except for the dumb fill-in guy from the drugstore… Anyway she had her mask under her nose. And she had just ridden in our elevator, festooned with β€˜you must wear a mask’ signs. Not happy.

crabbed about that on Twitter and the Purolator helps Twitter account saw it, because we were following each other to help solve the delivery snafu yesterday. The helps account person contacted me and via DM got all my information and said she put in a complaint about it. And apologized. I like that part. But no β€˜nose out’ person would’ve been better.

Ugh. Geometry, that’s not like history where you can just read about it on your own. Even high school level science you could. Bugger.

Unvaxxed people working with the elderly is a howling disaster. The hairdressers at a long-term care facility in my town started an outbreak there in July. It eventually ended and now they have another one. 😩😫

That's true although they are still cryin' to die in the red counties, including mine, which voted to open schools maskless (which was overruled by thestate). I have some confidence that the rural imbeciles will find a way.

They will. It's astonishing really.

Thank you that was very helpful. I was going to bring up the fact that big pharma was pretty quick to pause J&J vaccine when it looked like 6 women (out of millions vaccinated) died from developing clots after the vaccine. Same with astrazeneca. I also wanted to point out how those vaccines were different from mRNA based moderna and pfizer and why those don't cause the same problem.

nitrous oxide does this by deactivating vitamin B12, which results in nerve damage. I am skeptical that incidental exposure to NOS, even over prolonged periods, could cause brain damage, simply because B12 is replaced so easily. Also, the first symptoms are usually pain in the toes, and then the fingers.

CDC says: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/t...

Chronic work-related exposure to high levels of nitrous oxide may cause:

The place where I get my hair done (which is rarely, but anyway) has you wait in your car until they come out to get you (take your temp, ask the questionnaire). The sign on the door says, "Yes--we heard what the governor said, and you still have to wear a mask at all times." Everyone who works there is vaccinated.It's nice.

Old, so YES. Some of the conditions we took for granted & accepted as normal when I was kids, cause a serious "WTAF??!" reaction, looking back. Dayum.
