hollow glacier
it just doesnt add up does it lol
umbral cliff
Small sample size but out of 100-200 people that I know of from uni, none had a side effect to the vaccine (except the usual slight fever/ sore arm/ etc) but of those group who got Covid, about 10-20% had serious side effects that even a few weeks later still hang around (eg a bad cough just sitting because of it)

Healthcare staff and other high risk already have to, so doesn’t need to be a loss of job thing. Just more a normal thing to get

many people don't get effected by the flu in the same manor
I had the flu one time when i was kid and never caught it again my whole life, even being around people who get it
umbral cliff
many people don't get effected by the flu in the same manor
No but the point of the flu shot, same as Covid, is to reduce your spread to others
Which is why it’s mandated in healthcare already
forest edge
covid had a much higher death rate
that is the reason
introducing stuff to your body is generally just not good and you shouldn't do it unless the alternative is much worse. I don't get the flu shot because I never had an issue with the flu, wouldn't take something just to take something. I got vaccinated only because of the death aspect but even that has reduced considerably
umbral cliff
I get the flu shot because I’m around people who are immunocompromised or elderly. Helps keep them safe. Small thing to keep a large number of people safe

the vaccines don't prevent you from catching or spreading
if you think it does you are misinformed

the vaccines don't prevent you from catching or spreading
They do reduce the spread. Reducing symptoms rapidly reduce the ability for something to spread
Same shit with Covid

In the early days before we had ready access to tests, I was sick for a while but since I wasn't critical to near death's door, there was no chance of getting tested
Now that I have been vaxxed several times, I'm not sure whether an antibody test would be able to tell vaxx-antibodies from illness-related antibodies

I took an antibody test a few months after my second shot. It was almost glowing red. But the kids' were negative, so I'm 100% certain that was the vaccine

would seem from partial reading of that doc that reinfections can occur, but with different variants of the disease. Now scale that up to planet size and it could be significant. So still no guarantee that you have developed a lasting immunity. Time will tell and I will continue to avoid large population centres for the time being 😉

FIRST? Oh man, I wasted half my day with that thing lol I read in the tasmota docs that first, of course, you have to ensure it is a tuya device. Thing is, it's branded differently (no suprises there) AND uses another app (that suprised me), which you CAN'T link with the tuya IoT plattform, so I had to move everything over to the smart life app first. I will DEFINITELY check out tasmota tho, I just don'like to be dependent on cloud services.
scenic radish
You don't have to ensure it's a Tuya device, you just have to see if it uses an ESP8266 or ESP32
I'm guessing you were reading something about tuya-convert in the tasmota docs. Unfortunately not much is tuya-convertable anymore. Serial flash is typically the only option these days

Those burn thingy up was from Volvo. It burns during Autobahn drive, car was 130K Km mileage only

I had cable from another car. Way to long
But i made few knots and everything looks brand new now
I think donor car was Kia/Hyundai, so i think the cable could be much more durable

Doesn't the donor car need that cable tho, or was it already trash?
