mRNA vaccines are, of course, just the absolute tits - but they're a tiny proportion of modern vaccines and the very first ones are one a few years old, created to treat COVID. But yeah, 100%, we don't use the virus in the vaccine! Even the first ever vaccine was (as you will know) not created from the disease it was meant to treat, but from one similar enough that it gave protection to the other. And smallpox doesn't exist any more so, well, that worked out pretty well didn't it. You don't give someone the virus to stop them getting that virus, but you might well give them a virus, in an attenuated form of the target

Yeah, London is a big one for it. Sounds bad until you realise that the reason it's so high relative to the US is because they don't have access to guns.
The Cure remains an absolute diamond of a band, and Robert Smith's voice is so good. I've only seen them play live once but it was incredible. Musically almost nobody else from the 80s touches them for me. Tears for fears had some pretty great numbers though
There's always some percentage of people who are ignorant of global issues and want to stay out of things... You'd think they were Farage voters but actually they usually don't vote
I upvoted one and downvoted the other four balance
You have them in comics a lot, I wonder if...
I'm not a Beyonce fan but damn I'd wanna hear that
I am not sure if I mispoke or misread. Apologies for implying ignorance, I just wanted to dump my mind
Ok I recognise Andre and Arnold, who's the dude on the left?
I'm sorry you lost me there mate. Let's take them in order
I'm not and have never been a political candidate.
The performative outrage of which I speak is people encouraging that the Democrats be punished despite the explicitly stated desire and highly probable outcome of the Republicans enabling greater atrocities, whilst disregarding the harder and more useful work of pushing individuals to oppose the genocide within the existing system of reality
What is this even meant to mean? This is precisely the performative outrage of which I speak, and it doesn't even carry semantic weight. It's just useless pseudo-accusatory sentiment
Performative outrage is so much easier than working towards real change though!
I DON'T LIKE POSTING MUCH BECAUSE I AM TRASH
