O/T:- Vaccines: Pro/Anti & Conspiracy Theories [Originally Covid Pass and Meadow Ln.]

[Maggie's Farm]

The global population is currently 7.9 billion. Average age of that global population is just under 30.

If we accept recourses are dwindling and we believe climate change is going to have at least some additional impact on those resources, it's clear what the biggest problem is going to be - if it isn't the biggest problem already.

hi utm, bit uphill to xmas here, but getting back...

it's not clear to me what point you're trying to make here. I'm aware of a severe global disparity of resources, but most everyone I see IRL is already fat and still stuffing themselves with food and drink and tesla. What is the biggest problem going to be? Are you referring to food shortages?

You can adapt vaccines or a virus to target a specific race or age group with a random variety of mortality issues (heart, liver, brain, tumours) over random periods of time to give you plausibility denial. You could be looking to wipe out sections of your own population or an enemy population. Who creates the most effective vaccines adapted in the shortest possible time with a swift roll out is going to be one step ahead of that game. Ditto a man-made virus.

I guess someone could, and after Iraqui WMDs, the 2016 US election, Cambridge Analytica, and all, it should be clear to everyone that there are people who are willing and capable of gaming the system on a big scale, but this sounds extremely James Bond to me.

I don't know how to know that **** isn't happening, but I haven't seen anything that's convinced me it is - and I think the burden of proof is on the people who say something nefarious is underway. I don't find the efforts and, to date, inability of the world to get this problem under control as evidence of a plot, more the opposite. occam's razor springs to mind.

How you bring this all of this into focus with an obvious objective. I don't think we can

agree. which makes me think there isn't a focus. William of Ockham: "It's 'just' a viral pandemic!" (although I do think the definitive c19 origins story has yet to be written)

One thing we can be sure about is that most people are going to suffer as always and a small percentage are going have a good time no matter what.

pain is inevitable, suffering is optional, as they say. No, totally agree with this, but it has ever been thus.

Does the existence of downtrodden masses prove there's a deliberate hand(s) in this pandemic?
