Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[Sirioja]

Don't trust UK? Perform? Maybe they should have trusted the data and Europe would have performed better? Sorry that you don't like facts and data; but welcome to the 21st century, deal with it.

UK vs EU Cases since vaccination:

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers...European+Union

UK, home of dirty variant. Crushing continental Europe.

You should trust me on only 1 point: whole Western continental Europe know about situation under UK mutant, and I promise you: you won't be in German brothels soon.

While the alternative: Pfizer and Moderna is not adviced to give people below the age of 50 due to the infertility risk it poses. So one way or the other we end up with a genocide.

Only quarantines help, unless you go by the Swedish approach, which is risky and takes awhile longer. But right now nobody manages to do either. Sweden chickened out of their strategy, and only a few countries have abiding citizens good enough to do the quarantines. It baffles me how the world bank and IMF hasn't handed out basic income on a larger scale yet. It needs to happen in order to avoid catastrophe. As poorer countries won't be able to uphold the quarantine strategy at the rate this virus spreads.

Also, at the rate this virus mutates now, the J&J and AZ vaccines, and also Sputnik won't be effective by one or two years. The time when everyone is vaccinated. And then you might have a new round of increased number of side effects from the vaccines given people will have twice the dosages.

We might just be fucked.

Maybe world governance is the way to go after all. Most politicians are clueless also, and just say what they are being told to say from medical personnel who are equally clueless.

Even older than 50 , but I don't desperate to find a chic WG, to make her cum and to make a baby, fruit of big love forever, when Charlie Chaplin was daddy at 70, no hurry, I still have time, so no vaccine for me to stay powerful.

There are only a few factories in China and Taiwan that manufacture carbon fiber frames. Even very large brands like Trek or Specialized contract out frame manufacturing. Giant and Merida have their own frame manufacturing facilities and they make frames for plenty of other brands. Most large brands do their own R&D and define the quality control and that is their selling argument. Carbon layup design comes from the brand, ensuring quality control in the manufacturing processes is done by the brand and manufacturing facility together, all this is not trivial.

Outside Asia, I think Time has frame manufacturing in Morocco. BMC tried to automate frame manufacturing with robots weaving carbon fiber tubes but didn't get very far and they stopped talking about that years ago. Cervelo used to sell a frame fully manufactured in the US, but the frame price was 10 k USD.

A lot of the Italian brands just paint the frame, put a sticker with an Italian flag on one chainstay, another sticker with "Passione" on the other chainstay and job done. Nobody thinks that Cipollini has anything to do with frame design.

Look on climbyke profiles of Loze above Meribel, or Mortirolo close to Bormio or Zoncolan close to Austrian border, because there no bullshits, just you are able or not. On first time I arrived in front of the wall Zoncolan, with BMW 200 power xdrive, but it was not able to pass curves other than on 1st gear, sometimes bicycle rear wheel losing grip under pressure on pedals, you don't need carbon there, you need to be able, your bicycle will never climb alone and I don't see many others while I climb, but a bit of knowledge about technique help, I don't think professionals would climb on 39/24 which is better for 8%.

[Sirioja]

Can we put the self-grandiose diatribes on hold for a bit? Authentically confident people don't feel the need to tell other people that they are great everyday. Repeating it here day in and day out just lets everyone know that you're insecure.

Don't worry for me, better you take care of you, don't forget Sharks, I will never be in such pathetic, my brain leads me.

The main problem is that the syncytin-1 protein, which shares similar genetic instructions with part of the spike of the new coronavirus. That same protein is an important component of the placenta in mammals. If the vaccine causes the body to make antibodies against syncytin-1, it has been argued, it might also cause the body to attack and reject the protein in the human placenta, making women infertile.

Now as it goes, the protein is not 100% identical. It is just very similar. And according to this virologist professor, all viruses mutates every time it copies itself. So if you give yourself a vaccine, you start the roulette every millisecond for the rest of your life. And if you are lucky and hit green on the roulette, your body will start rejecting the syncytin-1 protein. And the women who takes any of the vaccines will be infertile. I am starting to believe that this is not just a pfizer / moderna problem. But it goes for all the vaccines.

The corona viruses also has one difference from most other viruses: it has RNA in it as opposed to the great majority of viruses containing DNA. What this RNA does to human DNA is also a lottery. And that is most likely where the main risk in terms of side effect lies.

No, there's no "problem" at all. You are parroting long debunked misinformation from ant-vaxxer blogs and websites. In your case you have a very small audience, perhaps ten to fifteen mongers that regularly follow this thread, and that's a good thing.

The certificate would be granted to citizens who had either proof of vaccination, a negative Covid-19 test, or proof of recovery from the virus for those who had contracted it previously.

Tourist reliant countries want their tourists.

More directly from the source: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/pres.../en/ip_21_1181.

Still thinking how to interpret this:

The Commission will build a gateway and support Member States to develop software that authorities can use to verify all certificate signatures across the EU. No personal data of the certificate holders passes through the gateway, or is retained by the verifying Member State.

Versus this:

The certificates will include a limited set of information such as name, date of birth, date of issuance, relevant information about vaccine / test / recovery and a unique identifier of the certificate. This data can be checked only to confirm and verify the authenticity and validity of certificates.

The RNA concerns me too. Maybe the J&J old technology is better? Delta airlines will require some sort of shot to reach FKK land across the pond. Other airlines will undoubtedly follow suit.

I started watching the lectures of this interviewer regarding viruses:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX3MhWWi6n4

8:20.

Basically all humans on the planet get all 8 herpes viruses during the first decade of our lives. So where does all the fear of this being sexually transmittable come from? Another lie imposed to reduce the amount of sex and reproduction in the world? I think so.

That's the condom lobby of course.

There is a Microsoft chip in the latex that will take control of your dick.

I heard it makes you really excited by male nurses genitalia.

Have you seen the other lectures?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SEYa0R62nWk

This one is great. First sentence: vaccines are our proven best defense against viruses.

[BigBuddy69]

but(not part of that lecture) all vaccines reduces the efficiency of our immune system too..

Actually they just do the exact opposite.

https://www.who.int/news-room/featur...-vaccines-work

See the little picture? The vaccine helps your immune system to build the antibodies.

That's why it was not part of that lecture.

Tell me the truth, you're bored at work and you want to have a good fun on the internet right?

[BigBuddy69]

Why is Sweden vaccinating? Didn't they achieve herd immunity already last summer?

We have a few Swedish experts on this board but they haven't been seen for a while.

Naughty nurse you missed the latest headlines. Now the Breton variant is coming, it comes from the côte de granit rose in Bretagne (France) , it was bred on kouign amann and cider and he's undetected by the PCR tests. Evil Frenchmen! We can't trust them! Soon will come the age of the Normand variant, made from camembert, he will destroy your nose and let a perpetual taste of French cheese on your tongue.

Mérida owns about an half of specialized so they must be their main (or only) producer.

Look has a factory in Tunisia I think but to my knowledge, until recently, time still manufactured their frames in France.

But the brand has been cut in two and sold and I'm not sure the frame making will stay in France. Pedals are moving to Portugal.

[PaulInZurich]

Let's talk about globalization now, this is an interesting subject.
...
As for the manufacturing countries, anyone with a slightest interest in cycling knows that Taiwan and more globally Asia are the producers of maybe 95 % of the frames and parts.

There are only a few factories in China and Taiwan that manufacture carbon fiber frames. Even very large brands like Trek or Specialized contract out frame manufacturing. Giant and Merida have their own frame manufacturing facilities and they make frames for plenty of other brands. Most large brands do their own R&D and define the quality control and that is their selling argument.

A lot of the Italian brands just paint the frame, put a sticker with an Italian flag on one chainstay, another sticker with "Passione" on the other chainstay and job done. Nobody thinks that Cipollini has anything to do with frame design.

[PaulInZurich]

Doesn't matter if someone are nurses or doctors in title. In knowledge, most doctors are definitely not doctors. Out of 100 doctors maybe 20 of them I would consider a real doctor. There are lots of wannabes who think an education is all they need. I call most wannabes with a graduation certificate out on knowledge.

It definitely requires more intellectual capacity and significant more effort to get a medical degree compared to a communications degree. Not exactly high achievers studying communications.

Where I studied the communications department was good for one thing, they had plenty of girls.

[Mursenary]

You just don't know Europeans. Out of Brexit, do you think continental Western Europeans trust so much UK, and furthermore after they spread their mutant all over Western Europe. Only your data seem to think for you, when all is in details to perform.

Don't trust UK? Perform? Maybe they should have trusted the data and Europe would have performed better? Sorry that you don't like facts and data; but welcome to the 21st century, deal with it.
