If you're at risk of a bad time with Covid, get vaccinated. Simples. >As for the sin of being fat that you find so unforgivable Simple cause and effect. The study you linked said so - if you're obese, you're much more…
>And I could link up a dozen similar studies and reports that all say the same thing: the risks from vaccination are low, the risks from Covid are an order of magnitude greater. Without absolute numbers, your "analysis"…
>Snap at $10 When was that true? Snap currently makes about $3 per user. You can't be talking about US users, because there are only 330 million people in the US.

Some counterarguments: 1. Electronic devices have varying degrees of embodied energy and resource usage - it is incumbent on the end user to justify that usage 2. Electronic devices are designed as attention-sucking…
I subscribe to the EV conspiracy theory that a major part of the planned CO2 reductions will be because getting anywhere by car will be much harder.
"Best practices", like mass vaccination of a group of people for whom the vaccine may have been more risky than the disease?
