The myocarditis risk is higher from catching COVID. Getting vaccinated is lower risk than catching the disease, for all age groups.

Getting vaccinated does not decrease your risk of catching the disease. It's only purported to lessen the severity.

So, if you're just as likely to catch COVID regardless of vaccination status, and the vaccine itself is known to sometimes cause myocarditis... follow me here... getting vaccinated increases the number of vectors by which you can get myocarditis.

So, specifically, from which scientific fields will we lose all of this talent, and to which countries will these people be moving? Further, in what ways will the NSF counterparts in these supposed other countries benefit R&D by foreign researchers?

*Takes quick perusal of the article* Ah, it's DEI bullshit that's being cut here. And, the likelihood of any of this research being funded by another country (other than Canada) is highly dubious. Therefore, the entire premise of this article is laughable. No scientific talent will be "lost to overseas competitors".

We forced approximately 10 million people into driving Uber for a living...

"I didn't force them."

*Looks around the bar and shouts* "Did any of you force people drive for Uber?"

Surprisingly, one blue-haired man drinking an appletini (at least that's the assumption) raised ziz hand.

"See? Nobody forced anyone to do anything of the sort."

Same. I think gaming is awesome -- a fantastic form of entertainment. But, the last game I played all the way through was Portal 1. I just got busy with other things and lost interest in gaming, only loading up Battlefield 2 or HL2 for brief moments here and there throughout the past years.

But, I always said, if Valve ever makes Half Life 3, THAT will be what gets me back into gaming. We'll see...
