Just like with antibiotics, it is a generally great achievement, but as Alexander Fleming warned us that misuse and over prescription can lead to a bacteria developing resistance to any antibiotics and we already starting to see those cases, doctors generally just prescribe drugs rather than looking for diagnoses, mandates in one size fits all can hurt us in a long run. Humanity is good in solving problem rather than searching for a root cause of that problem to begin with ...

Lastly there is no sufficient tracking of breakthrough cases, since vaccinated are showing even less symptoms there official statistics on breakthrough cases are questionable, as vaccinated person without any symptoms may still be potentially infected and spreading infections, so does a person with really good immunity, so that's where a lot of speculation can collective immunity work at all, and if it is not achievable then what social benefits or justifications total vaccination bring?

Two years later there is no coherent understanding of a virus, no money is invested to investigate root cause of this virus, long term affects and such. All money had been thrown into research of a suitable vaccine to suppress symptoms, then to prepay purchase of vaccine from pharmaceutical companies. Government paid for development, prepurchased results making sure that pharmaceutical companies general great amount of profit for their shareholders. Rather than looking into root cause of it.

Let me continue my thoughts here, just for a context I am not antivaxer by any means, however order completely ignores those with natural immunity like they never existed, there are at least 40 Million of people in the US alone who can potentially have natural immunity, and many of the research papers point that natural if comparable or sometimes even superior to vaccine. Another area is people who does not go to the office and thus there is no grounds for OSHA regulate those employees.

Here we go, leader of the land of free imposes vaccine mandate across all employers. For those who are ready to embark on an argument "it's not all employers", how many employers with < 100 employees can pay living wage to their workers? Then some might say "it's not a mandate, since alternatively they can submit to weekly testing" do you really think it's an option, when people being fired for calling in sick, do you think same employer will allow time for testing? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/09/business/osha-vaccine-biden-mandate.html

Problem with COVID-19 in US or any other virus is not a problem of unvaccinated people, it's not a problem of those who refused to wear a masks, it can be summarized by a single quote from one of the essential workers: "You get fired if you take care of yourself". Grocery clerks, delivery people, personnel at the airport can't afford to call in sick when they are not feeling well. We might be in trouble if we continue to take capitalist approach towards sick leave.

On a rainy day, when you are exhausted from many stressful meeting, all you need is just a small token which reminds you that there is a little person who needs your support and love.

Found this really nice article, given my FB use, I think this is the journey I'll embark on next. Нашел интерестную статью, так как почти не пользуюсь фэйсбуком буду потихоньку брать все это на вооружение. https://aaronparecki.com/2020/06/14/14/how-to-leave-facebook

After a first race season seems to be very promising, as long as someone can compete with Mercedes that should be good.

Good start for F1 season, at least firsts qualifying was promising, let's see how the race goes.

Surprised one guy at school and told kids few stories about software development, who knows where they'll go in their careers.

Mother nature is so fascinating, last weekend visited Longhorn Caverns State Park, which has been created by a same river but chambers look so different, depending on what's been going there.

It seems businesses found an easy way to exploit things, they would tell it's impossible to quote by phone because it can be anything and then charge you for a service call after you heard the price and want to see if some one offers you a better deal.

We are under attack by a white substance that has been falling from the sky, anyone has any idea what it called?

После стольких лет в Техасе и несметного количества стейков из ресторанов, я решился приготовить самостоятельно, получилось просто замечательно, не хуже, а на мой вкус даже лучше чем в ресторане.

Вот так, вышел на экскурсию послущать историю Минска - получи 15 суток. Добро пожаловать в Беларусь. Государство которое убивает любую инициативу не способно развиваться и двигаться вперед, только назад... https://news.tut.by/society/717172.html
