The virus is obviously bad, but from what I've seen, it's overerrated as fuck.
My mom had it, step mom, sister, father.... Only my mom had a standard week long fever. Dad partially lost smell.
That's it. I am sorry, but even though I know there are always bad cases out there, I cannot pretend to say, that i'm more afraid if it then the gene therapy.

So, the key message from our finding is we found that recipients of the Pfizer vaccine, those who have had two doses have about 5 to 6 fold lower amounts of neutralizing antibodies. Now, these are the, sort of, gold standard, private security antibodies of your immune system which block the virus from getting into your cells in the first place. So, we’ve found that that is less for people with two doses. We also found that for people with only one does of the Pfizer jab that they are less likely to have high levels of these antibodies in their blood. And perhaps most importantly for all of us going forward is that we see that the older you are the lower your levels are likely to be and the time since you’ve had your second jab, as that time goes on, the lower your levels are also likely to be. So that’s telling us that we are probably going to be needing to prioritize boosters for older and more vulnerable people coming up soon especially if this new variant spreads.

It's so tiresome to go through all of the arguments about just how insignificant the flu is, but then, my mom still ends up with: but 30 000 people died...
But what truly pissed me off was, when she told me I don't take covid seriously.
BITCH, I was begging for the chinesse borders to be closed. I was gathering suplies before people knew suply chain was in danger and I am SCREAMING OVER AN YEAR, that we're killing the economy and might cause famine, but yeah... I don't take covid seriously.
Sorry for my rant
Decentralized systems can prosper, but a centrally-run society or network can be easier, less expensive, and simpler to understand. We centralize power to help others, fix problems; out of fear, or out of greed. It’s often easier to centralize; hard to walk it back.
Once power is centralized, the few who remain who can change society rarely choose to give away their status by diluting it. Once the walls are built, the doors are locked fast. The center holds.
As Rohit Khare defined it, “A decentralized system is one which requires multiple parties to make their own independent decisions.” Good for network routing; good for a free and open society. Decentralization is a technical choice with social effects.
Paul Baran, whose famous diagram is below, injected a decentralized vision into the internet at its birth. Decentralization made the net resilient, independent; antifragile, rhizomatic. Whatever you call it, it worked. For a while.
My work at the Filecoin Foundation will concentrate on stewarding the governance of the Filecoin ecosystem, funding critical projects around it and advocating for the future of Filecoin and its stack of decentralizing tools: IPFS, libp2p, etc.
I’ll also be building out the FFDW, our charitable wing, whose activities include preserving and distributing the world’s knowledge, supporting the dweb community, funding related R&D, and educating the public about the benefits of a redecentralized net.
