People with hip replacements can walk again for years afterwards. This is not normal.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes
While this may sound reasonable at first glance, it is only true most of the time. Sometimes a minute contains 59 or 61 seconds, even in Africa.
Never in the history of time has a minute contained only 59 seconds. Even in Africa. And it has been decided that from 2035 onwards, we need to alter time itself in order to eradicate this irregular minute.
We can only hope that before that time, we get to experience one of these magical short minutes. It may happen yet.
In Africa, height depends on how tall you are
Elevation (really the force of gravity) has an effect on time, so that’s technically only true at sea level.
If we’re including time dilation in this, so does velocity. This means that the velocity from earth’s rotation that you gain with elevation counteracts the loss in gravity to some extent (I don’t know what the total is, I can’t be fucked doing the maths). It also means that latitude effects time dilation because the equator is moving faster. This means that 60 seconds in south Africa is not exactly the same as a minute at the equator.
Antibodies are LITERALLY the point. It’s the mechanism by which our immune system identifies pathogens and triggers an immune response to them. If they diminish, your immune system is slower to respond and less effective at doing so. If they’re gone, it’s as if your immune system has never seen the pathogen before and has to adapt from zero again. Vaccines are a way to arm you with those antibodies without as much risk either from genuine infection or your immune system killing you in the attempt to figure out how to kill the new pathogen. You want the antibodies. They keep you healthier.
TL;DR: Vaccine=Antibodies=Good
That doesn’t sound scary at all now that you say it that way.
Please make it scary again so I can fear it and believe it.
Don’t worry. The people who were really scared never stopped. They didn’t get their vaccinations (education) and are susceptible to all kinds of infections (bullshit).
Microplastics are found in significantly larger numbers within the bodies of anyone living today than in people who died hundreds of years ago. Living without microplastics is lethal.
More people die by swimming in water than by swimming in gas.
Ban water!Hydro-haterz
As a professional fartographer, is that your official fartographical ANALysis?
Peer reviews of my research accuse my paper of circling the subject area. Once grant funding was removed and I was pushed out, I had to shit or get off the pot, so you may find my data sets complete even though I wasn’t able to fully finish identifying correlation/causation. It’s not exactly inconclusive; it’s more that the overall analysis was open but whole.
So, the research does support my claims, even though some have accused me of being full of crap.
poop
“people who drink water have more hydrogen dioxide molecules in them”
edit: yes i see my error now and ill just leave it 💃
Bro here drinking HO2
It’s Lemmy, of course we’re going to see radicals.
guess i mustve because my brain doesnt work 🧚♀️
Bro did you know that just one molecule of H2O has more hydrogen atoms than there are stars in the solar system!? Like woahhhh
incorrect
It’s okay. I’m so bad at science I had to reread it like 5 times and type it out to realize why what you said was wrong.
How does a medical association allow this person to keep her license?
Tricky, I’m no doctor but I think she’s not exactly incorrect. It isn’t ‘normal’ for us to have vaccines, etc, as vaccines are a -relatively- new thing for humans.
(However, it is better to have them than not.)
This is a “welllllll…she’s technically correct” situation. The problem I have is how she’s framing the issue and if I was her boss, or whatever, I would definitely be on to her to get an explanation of why she’s framing it in an apparently negative way.
They were new in the 1700s. They are not a new thing for humans today. If you don’t use vaccines you are an outlier to modern society.
Devils Advocate here…
Hypothetically she is right. Making elevated levels of antibodies long after a vaccination or exposure may not be normal…
Now on the flip side, other things that aren’t normal. Air conditioning, 99% of children surviving past their first birthday, solar panels. Just because something isn’t “normal” doesn’t mean that it is bad.
It could also be that we’re being constantly exposed to COVID in 2025 since we failed to contain or eradicate it, and the population never got up to herd-immunity level vaccination rates. Which would explain why the immune system is still making spike protein antigens.
I’m also doubtful about the levels of spike protein antibodies she is claiming, I’d bet that there isn’t a peer reviewed article that supports that claim.
Yeah the normality would require us dying
I’ll take the antibodies every time.
You want spike protein antibodies. That’s the point!
I somehow suspect she is not even using data conditioned by infection history and looking at a mix including individuals that might be recently infected with covid.
Added context: you are wrong, and uneducated.
How are there so many of these medical doctor quacks? You’d think going to school that long would teach you something!
Snore doctor thinks she knows how the human body works.
Devil’s advocate, is she trying to say compared to those unvaccinated but still exposed to/have had the virus? Or people who were never exposed? Because that could maybe change the context. You would think antibodies from a vaccine would stay around the same length of time as those exposed to the live virus directly.
If she is talking about people never exposed than I have no idea what she is talking about.
No. Just no. For many reasons. Don’t be part of the problem. “You would think…” stop there. You don’t need to use conjecture when there is research at your fingertips. Signed - worked in bacterial and viral genetics and vaccine development for decades.
so what’s wrong with what they said?
Well, let’s imagine that vaccine antibodies do actually stick around longer for a moment. All right. Who cares?
I could certainly think it was interesting. But concerning? In what way? “Oh no, I accidentally have too much money.” Okay. And?
This is essentially an appeal to nature fallacy. We don’t need to imagine she has a point to make; she’s trying to scare people.
there is no fallacy being committed at all in this thread. and you haven’t explained why this is the case anyway, you’ve only hinted at a hypothesis.
Oh, you’re an anti-vaxxer, huh.
Well, I could say I tried, I guess.you’ve made a leap of logic. but if that’s what you call trying, maybe we should wait for a real scientist
