Seriously the idea of fiduciary duty [to maximixe profit] is dystopian, corporations don't fuck us over because they have to they do it because they can.

Critics of NFTs incessantly conflate them with copyright and DRM, but it's a strawman argument.

Buyers are aware that it doesn't grant them any actual rights beyond "I can transfer this NFT".

I'm against NFTs for their environmental impact, I'm fine with their vanity.

I worded it poorly (and it wasn't really anything worth saying in the context of COVID), but:

A population with 5% naturally-induced/80% vaccine-induced immunity might see more spread of a new variant than a population with 25%/60%, however the total outcomes would still be better in the first population; so "less protected" was definitely the wrong thing to say.

Naturally-induced immunity for COVID is stronger because it targets more than just the spike protein, and it presumably[0] grants better mucosal immunity than our current vaccines induce, but of course the risk/cost of natural infection is very high.

I guess there might be a point where strictly vaccinated populations are less protected than populations with more natural antibodies.

Where I live is >80% double dosed, however there are far less than 5% that have been naturally infected.
