Linus Torvalds Encourages Kernel Developers & Everyone To Get Vaccinated

[WeAreDoomed]

What you basically just said is that you do not have a rebuttal for my statement.

You are delusional at this point.

For instance, Measles, before the vaccine, there were between 3-4 million people that were infected every year, 48,000 hospitalizations and only 400-500 deaths per year. The Measles vaccine didn't save "hundreds of millions lives", it saved, at most, 26,500 because the first Measles vaccine was available in 1968, which is 53 years ago and at a max of 500 deaths per year, that works out to 26,500 potential deaths.

Come on, why are you so obtuse? Measles was 20 millions per years not 3 millions. 500 deaths per years? Do we live in the same world? Even in 2018 there were close to 150.000 deaths related to Measles. In 1990 it was close to 550.000 deaths. In 1980 it was close to 2.600.000 deaths. Where the hell do you get your number from?

There are about 310 million people in the U.S., about 175 million have had at least 1 dose and 146 million are fully vaccinated.and in New York State, 70% of the population has received at least the first dose:

Now I get it. I should have assume you would only speak for the US. Logical, after all, given your mindset, to only speak about your privileged situation.

Herd immunity is here, time to stop living in fear and start living again.

So, you live in a place where a majority of people are vaccinated and you had already COVID yourself, yet you use an anti COVID vaccine rhetoric.
Brilliant.

Qaridarium As Energy = planck's constant x frequency such 0-20Hz "weapons" would have a theoretical maximum energy of 6.626*10^-34 * 20 =~ 1.2*10^-32 J per photon and a wavelength of 340m. This is not only incredibly weak (13 orders of magnitude too weak to change chemical bonds [6*10^.19J]). Such waves pass right through humans without interacting with them.
Further, magnetic fields are incredibly benign. You can levitate a frog in a magnetic field of 16 telsa (1 mio times the earth's magnetic field) without harming it. MRIs also don't harm people despite pumping several kiloWatts of energy in the form of a magnetic field through them. The electrical conduits in your house produce 50Hz radiation btw. People have been fine for decades living near that.

you are believe conspiracy shit you believe that magnetic wave weapons only operate at 2,4ghz or 5ghz or 60ghz... thats high frequencies and aluminium does work for these frequencies... (...)
there is an interview with Dr Horton and a NSA guy about low frequency microwave weapons.... (...)

The thing is, any frequency lower than 1.5Ghz by definition isn't a microwave anymore. You and the "NSA" guy are contradicting yourselves.

I don't think anyone has said that "you are fully protected if you take it". Efficacy ranges from ~50 to ~90% depending on the vaccine and the study, ie if you were to expose two similar groups to the same viral load the vaccinated group would have between 50% and 90% fewer infected people able to further spread the virus.

In addition to efficacy numbers there are also efficiency measurements, ie the ability of the vaccine to prevent serious infection, measured in the same way. Efficiency numbers tend to be higher (67% to 97%) but still never reach 100%.

The primary reason for getting vaccinated is for community benefit - if a large enough percentage of people are vaccinated then the virus tends to die out (R0 < 1) because it can not find enough suitable hosts to continue propagating and mutating. In the absence of a vaccine you can achieve similar results via masks, distancing, lockdowns etc... but the impact on everyday life is pretty severe and so vaccines (when available) are considered the best way to deal with diseases that are both contagious and dangerous.

Simply getting yourself vaccinated never fully protects you though - even if you are fully vaccinated with the most effective vaccines you will eventually get sick if exposed to the virus for long enough and may still die from it. Having a sufficiently large percentage of people vaccinated (in both your area and any areas that you accept travelers from) is the only workable way to keep the virus under control that we know of today.

Vaccination is a community exercise not an individual exercise, although individual vaccination does improve your odds.

I am not a medical doctor so can't explain to you in detail, but maybe someone else can - anyway, let's read this study:
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/l...069-0/fulltext

So basically pharma companies are publishing RRR ratio, instead of ARR ratio. Study explains:
RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the vaccine
absolute risk reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack rates with and without a vaccine, considers the whole population.

absolute risk reduction (ARR) number for vaccines are:
1.3% for the AstraZeneca–Oxford
1.2% for the Moderna–NIH
1.2% for the J&J
0.93% for the Gamaleya
0.84% for the Pfizer–BioNTech

Yes, that's about 1% less risk of Covid-19 when you take the vaccine.
Advertised numbers (RRR) are not showing entire picture.

I can't explain how this works, but it's an alarming find.

What it is: A highly contagious viral infection that involves the respiratory system, including the lungs and breathing tubes.
How you get it: The measles virus gets into the air when someone who has it coughs or sneezes. It can also last for up to 2 hours on something they touched. Most people who aren't immune -- 90% -- will get it if they are near an infected person.
Why it’s serious: Measles can cause pneumonia, brain swelling, and death. Before the vaccine, 3 million to 4 million people in the U.S. got measles each year, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 400-500 died.

Now I get it. I should have assume you would only speak for the US. Logical, after all, given your mindset, to only speak about your privileged situation.

Ah, the liberal pussy word du jour rears it's head, I'm also white, maybe it's my non-existent "white privilege".

No, what is "brilliant" (<-- please note the sarcasm) is your lack of ability to understand what you read.

Nowhere did I use "anti COVID vaccine rhetoric", I explained my reasons for not getting vaccinated against COVID-19 and i also expressed the opinion that if one is opposed to being vaccinated it doesn't necessarily make him/her an "antivaxxer".

"In 2011, the WHO estimated that there were about 158,000 deaths caused by measles. This is down from 630,000 deaths in 1990."

Ah, the liberal pussy word du jour rears it's head, I'm also white, maybe it's my non-existent "white privilege".

I am not familiar with the terms, must be an American thing.
The privileges doesn't refer to your skin, or whatever, just the fact that you live somewhere with a high vaccination rate, which is, in my book, a privilege.

No, what is "brilliant" (<-- please note the sarcasm) is your lack of ability to understand what you read.

You just pass me a link which describe the million of deaths of measles, and you tell me I don't understand what I read.
But what can I do if you don't make the difference between the deaths in the USA (500 per years) and the deaths in the world (millions).
And don't tell you were only speaking of the USA since the beginning, you were clearly referring to the moment I said "vaccines save hundred of millions".

Nowhere did I use "anti COVID vaccine rhetoric", I explained my reasons for not getting vaccinated against COVID-19 and i also expressed the opinion that if one is opposed to being vaccinated it doesn't necessarily make him/her an "antivaxxer".

Whatever suits your boat.
"i also expressed the opinion that if one is opposed to being vaccinated it doesn't necessarily make him/her an "antivaxxer""

Hello friend, I am not a medical expert but I can explain this one (because it is probability, not medicine).
"RRR should be seen against the background risk of being infected and becoming ill with COVID-19, which varies between populations and over time. Although the RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the vaccine, the absolute risk reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack rates with and without a vaccine, considers the whole population."
Basically, if the chance of being infected with the real virus is small, it doesn't really matter (from a statistical point of view) if you are vaccinated or not, the absolute numbers will be small.
So, if you consider that a population have only, let's say , 1% chance to be infected, the ARR can only be a small number, because the attack rates without a vaccine would already be low.
This is great and all, but the "attack rates without a vaccine" is not something you can easily measure, and you don't want to wait for the epidemic to be at its peak just so you can measure this number. So, yeah, the ARR is a good measurement for when you should vaccine, in particular for recurring diseases, but in my opinion it makes little sense in the case of a global pandemic, because the "attack rates without a vaccine" is not something you want to take the time to measure.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/l...069-0/fulltext

Interesting (if strange) article. It seems to gloss over the fact that we blew past the 1% "risk of getting COVID-19" numbers that the article seems to be based on months ago... using the US as an example over 10% of the population has already tested positive for COVID-19.

The article is technically correct, in the sense that if there is little or no COVID-19 in your area then the risk reduction associated with getting vaccinated is much lower in the short term, and a number of first-world countries that were able to get COVID-19 under control by early lockdowns and contact tracing did not treat vaccination as an urgent priority.

On the other hand it is totally misleading in the sense that it replaces "portable" numbers (RRR) with totally situation-specific numbers (ARR) and implies that the ARR numbers are somehow more relevant to vaccine effectiveness.

If the article had been more clear that it was talking about vaccine "value" (is it worth it for country X to spend a bazillion dollars buying and administering vaccines) when they already have COVID-19 under control by other means ?) then that would have been OK, but it seems to be written in a somewhat sensationalized style and I'm actually a bit surprised that Lancet published it.

The big question IMO is whether any countries/states/regions are willing to keep tight travel restrictions in place until enough of the world has been vaccinated and they have effectively zeroed out COVID-19 activity in their own area via lockdowns / contact tracing / quarantines. If yes, then ARR might be a reasonable metric for whether to vaccinate or not. I have not seen any countries willing to take that gamble, however.

The problem is that (as experience has shown) even a single infected individual arriving in an area can trigger a major outbreak and in that area the risk number can shoot up close to 100% - and then ARR is pretty much equal to RRR anyways.

On a personal level, the same math applies. If you live out in the woods, never socialize, never go to the city, cut your own hair and grow/hunt all your own food then your personal ARR is very low you could make a very good argument that vaccination does not reduce your risk enough to bother.

The problem is that ARR is one of those things that makes more sense for large populations than for individuals - the arrival rate in your area of infected people might be sufficiently low that a government might consider a low ARR to be acceptable, but if that infected individual happens to be visiting you and results in one of your family members dying then knowing that "averaged across the whole country it's not so bad" won't make you feel any better.

ok ... i have read articles about vaccined people become "magnetic" and are not allowed to get a MRI/fMRT...

so what if there are magnetic nano particles in the vaccine... looks like your statement "Such waves pass right through humans without interacting with them." does not count for humans with magnetic particles injected by a fake vaccine.

"any frequency lower than 1.5Ghz by definition isn't a microwave anymore."

right but who cares if it is a microwave weapon or just a magnetic wave weapon ?

"MRIs also don't harm people despite pumping several kiloWatts of energy in the form of a magnetic field through them."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functi...onance_imaging

right but don't you get the information das vaccined people are not allowed to get a MRI because the magnetic nano particles in the vaccine mag them magnetic and if you put a vaccined person into a MRI they will burned inside like a chicken in a microwave ofen...

you can only use MRI on person without magnetic metall inside of the body... if you put magnetic particles inside of a human body the MRI ends deathly.

ok you put a aluminium tin foil on then the 60ghz does not work as microwave weapon anymore right then yes below 1,5ghz it is not a microwave weapon anymore but a magnetic wave weapon but it is a fact you can still kill a person with that even if you have aluminium tin foil one...

then you say MRIs proof humans are resistant to low frequency magnetic fields then you put metall into your body (magnetic nano particles in the vaccine) and you are no longer allowed to have an MRI if you do it anyway you will get burned inside and die.

i have to admit you are "technically" very good in electric Physic but in the end even you have to admit that you can not get MRI if you have magnetgic metall in your body and you have to admit that you can build a magnetic wave weapon below 1,5ghz technically it is not a microwave weapon yes but it still is able to kill people...

and still military professionals don't use aluminium tin foil they use iron plates just because they do not only want to defence themself against 60GHZ they also want defent themself below 1,5ghz... (the not so microwave magnetic wave weapon...)

i ask you one thing: have you ever been a victim of such a magnetic wave weapon?

because: i was a victim of multible different such weapon... one was a magnetic wave Heart attack gun the other where recular microwave weapon 1,5ghz-100ghz and for sure if they implant you magnetic metall as body implant into your body they can even use ultra low frequency magnetic wave weapon against you to...

and be sure if you put up a "aluminium tin foil hat" it will not help you because they target your "Heart" (magnetic wave Heart attack gun)

[WeAreDoomed]

ok ... i have read articles about vaccined people become "magnetic" and are not allowed to get a MRI/fMRT...

There are no magnetic nano particles in vaccines, it just doesn't make sense. It is quite sad in a way since I would have loved doing tricks after getting my shots, but no, just boring attenuated viruses or mrna or whatever. To think it started because some people were able to make spoon(s) stick to their body after a shot... But you know, a little sebum is all it takes.
So no, the articles about vaccines and MRI are just jokes. I don't know if it will make you feel any better, but magnetic anomalies are not a thing after taking a vaccine shot.

For the rest of your post, please don't take it the wrong way, but you should share your story with your family and close friends, they might be able to help.

ok it only means your vaccine shot did not have the magnetic nano particles but i get so many reports on "magnetic" vaccinated people that it is impossible to fake it. there are multible news reports about this. and 1000 of people who do videos about magnet stick on the vaccine injection part of the skin. https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-...vaccines.html#
