Lets weigh that against all the bodies the vaccine has caused...... Unfortunately people prefer to believe nonsense rather then real-life hard cold factual data on these sorts of things.
It seems putting up with being tired for a few days is far worse then catching covid for a bunch of people. sad.
PS. You can catch c-19 over and over btw, getting over it does not make you immune!

...In short, get vaccinated regardless of the vaccine type offered.
That's why it allows the fast food industry to kill in excess of 500k Americans EVERY YEAR by means of processed foods that are freely available to buy everywhere, and parents shove down their kids throats..
Again - every year, not this one time covid thing.
Government save lives! Me so smart - just jab me with everything you've got to offer.

Politicians are also right to insist; that is precisely what they should be doing, because the whole point of the vaccines is to help eliminate the disease, and that can't happen unless everyone cooperates. These vaccines don't last forever, so we have a finite amount of time to really make a difference before booster shots are necessary. Politicians have no right to force anyone, which to my knowledge, they haven't.
Just because a politician is doing something pertaining to their job, doesn't mean the action is political.

This thread was a fantastic follow up read on Linus's post and there were lots of good replies, but pro and against. But Linus really nailed it. Phoronix has some smart people and great discussions.
It's true that this is the first generation, and waiting for second generation makes sense for most. But not for mom and dad, who you can't risk catching it in the wild.
If your loved ones who are at risk are protected, then if you don't want to, you should also be able to make that decision also. Just like abortion.
However, unlike abortion, your decision could affect others. Just like smoking.
There's lots of nuances here, and as of 15 months ago, no one knew what a coronavirus is, so we should all pause before we act like know-it-alls, but Linus really nailed every point. Long-term effects of the spike protein and COVID are unknown, but I think we can all agree getting the vaccine is a better alternative than getting the actual virus and its mutations in the wild.

Then we are told take the vaccine and you wont need to wear a mask, then we are told we will need to wear a mask, the "Science" keeps flip flopping, especially here in Canada. All the while people who doubt Covid vaccines get censored.
I would trust Charlie Sheen's used condom more than the government at this point, If the government and tech is censoring information, its usually the government that is in the wrong, instead of being allowed to hear the other side, Why are we only allowed to hear one side of science but not the other when science is something that constantly evolves. Im not saying the vaccines are bad, for all I know they are probably a good thing, but when the government is willing to go this far to what is equivalent of brainwashing, whether it be a good thing or a bad thing. I do not understand how more people are not hesitant to get it.
Take the vaccine if you want to, I sure as shit ain't going to, not going to recommend it to anyone other than people with a high covid risk, and no body gonna be able to guilt trip me about it. even though Ontario's "opening up" is based on percentage of population vaccinated.

There is then a reason why Nvidia had to switch to signed firmware blobs. Criminals had started modify the firmware to make a lower model appear like a more expensive one. Retailers could not tell the difference and customers ended up getting burned hard for their money. Anyone who ended up buying a fake card thought twice before buying Nvidia again. This became a great risk to Nvidia's image as a company and they had to ensure that customers got the right product and that such tampering could no longer happen. Hence the secure firmware. But ignorant as the open source community sometimes is when it comes to the interests of companies do they to this day bash Nvidia for it. I use the proprietary Nvidia drivers with their out-of-tree modules, get Vulkan, CUDA and VideoSDK support, and leave the angry rants to the nerds.Last edited by sdack; 11 June 2021, 09:09 AM.
