It's very much an "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" argument they're making. You can't prove that vaccines won't give you the powers of the Hulk (which was a side effect listed in VAERS), so until you prove the negative we have to assume they will, right?
Yes, demonstrating "white power" sentiments and threatening lynching is merely "potentially divisive".

Are Muslims making the same claim?Banning Circumcision Is An Unnecessary Bar To Jewish Belonging In Europe
As European governments have woken to the need to fight antisemitism, they should adopt a common European approach to guarantee this religious practice. Europe cannot be a home for Jews if they are subject to violence, but much less if they cannot practice their faith like any other citizen.

I'm glad that we learnt so much about the dangers of encouraging political violence from Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Contextually, China's attitude is that it has supreme authority over all things Chinese. This even goes towards the portrayal of Chinese culture abroad: witness for instance that China feels it has the right to dictate to us how our museums portray Chinese history and culture. It thinks it has the right to control the views and opinions of Chinese emigrants on their homeland, as per the plentiful reports of spying and intimidation of them in Western countries. It regularly tells our politicians and media, formally and officially, to shut the fuck up about of anything relating to China unless it's a China-approved message, sometimes with added threats and insults.
That's kind of a funny argument, because the USA has invaded all those countries (considering Canada and the UK were sort of the same thing). And indeed, literally just threatened to take military action against or otherwise subjugate two of them.
Sure, this is a more compelling line of argument. Yet it expended 200,000 troops to protect its existing ally, not to annex South Korea. The PRC has never approached a fraction of this personnel or material investment in expansion.
Indeed, but we're in predictive mode here, and all those countries remain sovereign entities. If the "means -> definitely will invade" calculus holds, all of these countries are a matter of time away from annexation into America.
Vaccines became political during covid and had nothing to do with RFK Jr.

When the "trust the science" people ignored the science; yes, it is then ideological. Those people ignored natural immunity (if that doesn't work, then the vaccine doesn't work), the vaccine didn't provide community benefit yet they mandated the vaccine (nonsensical, nonscientific), the vaccine didn't slow transmission (yet it was coined the "pandemic of the unvaccinated"), and then they snuck the covid vaccine into the childhood vaccine schedule (that no one wanted). All that is why there is push back on vaccines, whole vaccine/autism RFK Jr thing has been around for decades and like no one cares about that. People do care about what just happen with covid though and that caused more vaccine hesitancy than RFK Jr could've ever done himself (you think people stopped taking Tylenol?). It's the left causing this new wave by being unscientific.

The vaccine/autism thing has been around for decades, has the US suffered in any significant way due to that? Now look at what has happened to US health with regards to chronic metabolic diseases like diabetes or fatty liver disease since the whole "war on fat" campaign. The reason why type 1 diabetes is called juvenile diabetes is because that was the only diabetes kids would get, now kids are getting type 2 diabetes and same thing with fatty liver disease (kids getting that was essentially unheard of). The CDC article recommends fat free milk, which is the least healthy milk because you removed the good stuff (fat) that has stuff like C15 fatty acid, keep the bad stuff (sugar), and you fortify it with vitamin d that is a fat soluble nutrient yet remove the fat so you can't actually get the vitamin d which obviously makes no sense. The article says saturated fats should be replaced, which is very harmful to tell people (and we have real world results showing that over the last 50+ years). Saturated fats have IIRC the best defense from becoming oxidized, which is a significant factor in contributing to heart disease. For some reason, they can't just admit they were wrong about fat and just keep doubling down on the narrative.
Yes. Many thousands of people have died and suffered from preventable diseases, because charlatans have convinced them not to vaccinate.
Wait what? Kids used to get diabetes type 1 and are now getting diabetes type 2? The former is more dangerous; why would that be a bad thing?

I mean, yes. You went on about trusting your version of science and that science was a lie. So, this is true. Everyone else analysed your version of science and it was left wantingVaccines became political during covid and had nothing to do with RFK Jr.
