if you care to look back for it, i suggested a similar relocation plan at one point, and the assholes in this thread had the nerve to offer valid points why it wouldn't work...i don't care to reread it myself, but it exists somewhere in this thread, or the war thread...i don't recall which :?
It's the only solution in which everybody involved saves face in spite of what a difficult to achieve proposal it is,reputations and pride are on the line here,and we don't need to see nuclear armed nations reaction's to suffering a mortal hit to their standing. So ,I have no doubt you've considered this option previously, to anyone reasonably intelligent it's the only option I can see that doesn't involve bloodshed or enslavement of a free people.

have you checked with the Taiwanese if they're willing to give up their home for this plan? the Ukrainians don't seem like they'd be very receptive, and i doubt the Taiwanese would be, either. but necessity is what it is, i suppose, they might change their minds if faced with imminent invasion.

I hope you are right, but I have seen no tangible evidence that right wing extremism is not still on the rise. The concern I have is that it is being used as a blueprint by political parties in Canada and other countries around the world.


See: Brexit, Trump, ect. The attack being conducted on democracies across the globe by shitty dictators is very real.

No I haven't and it's certainly not a utopian solution,I try to put myself in their shoes as I do generally w/everything in life,I'm sure it would be a heartbreaking decision for them to ponder. I do know that they aren't down for any reunification proposals,the majority of Taiwanese disdain the CCP,and look no further than their brethren in Hong Kong, how'd that work out?

Do repeated covid infections make you stupid? Many in the antivaccer crowd can't afford to lose much before they start drooling and need assistance filling out forms.

Maybe a new slogan might be get vaccinated, not stupid, if each infection brought ya down a notch or two.

According to creationist evolution does not occur and a Bible based approach would not recognize any of this. So teaching creationism in schools is not just a dumb idea, it's a deadly one too. Bullshit kills, whether it's about masks, vaccines or horse de wormer.

I wonder though, does every time you get infected with covid make you just a little bit stupider?

buckle down for a rough Q1-2 of 2023. Ignore the politicians and their cherry-picked MDs telling you the pandemic is over or that herd immunity is in place. To the nonidiots among us I say maintain red alert: masks, minimal contact with others, wash hands and face a lot. We have an immune-evasion champ on our hands.

On a separate but parallel note, apparently mRNA vaccines can cross the blood brain barrier.


".. biodistribution studies of the mRNA–LNP platform by Moderna in Sprague Dawley rats revealed the presence of low levels of mRNA in the brain, indicating that the mRNA–LNPs can cross the blood–brain barrier"

I guess the main thing is they don't appear to be doing any harm, unlike Covid which attacks neurons and the cells supporting them. It would appear that with each natural infection a person might get dumber with each bout and could get a couple of bouts of covid a year as new strains are always popping up. So trying to stay ahead of the game as much as one can with the latest boosters might be a good idea, until a more permanent vaccine is available in a couple of years. It will still need to be an annual booster along with a flu shot probably. However it beats getting stupider by degrees as yer brain turns to mush over the years and variants! :lol: Antiviral meds still work though so it can blunt the effects of the next wave.

You clearly didn't read the study. Many adverse events were mentioned, including: acute myocardial infarction, Bell’s palsy, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, Guillain–Barré syndrome, myocarditis/pericarditis (mostly in younger ages), pulmonary embolism, stroke, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, lymphadenopathy, appendicitis, herpes zoster reactivation, neurological complications, and autoimmunity (e.g., autoimmune hepatitis and autoimmune peripheral neuropathies).

Many? Reported by who? The medical community should be alarmed don't you think?

reported...not verified, not documented...no factual information....? just a bunch of shit off vaers?

Good news! The study I posted has 139 footnotes for you to reference, but you might want to start by reading the study first before you just tacitly dismiss it. That is of course, if you really do base your positions on the findings of science. Yes, there are certainly many folks in the medical community who are alarmed, yet you quickly dismiss them.

It certainly appears to be a valid study and has a ton of information to parse through. I will need to dig into it more, and speak to people far smarter than myself to know if it's actually valid(edit - not questioning the validity of it, just not informed enough to know either way), but the first few readings of it do raise some questions and makes it clear on-going clinical observation and documentation will be required. Hopefully the science continues to improve and they can get mRNA vaccines with zero adverse effects. I think it's prudent to say the article also states: "Importantly, these associated AEs are significantly less frequent than analogous or additional serious AEs induced after severe COVID-19"

The more articles I read about covid19 and vaccinations, the conclusion I think we end up at is there will always be some serious adverse effect to the vaccines for a very few unlucky people, but anyone that had an adverse effect to the vaccine was going to have just as much and likely a far worse reaction to covid19 infection. I hope I'm wrong and they can perfect the vaccine. I really hope we don't have to deal with this shit forever.
