    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    Oh I think it would. People still die from heart disease, and people still get the flu. And of course the anti-vaxxers have been quite successful on such shakey grounds. In the future we may see flu rates go up, as well as heart disease... All of this skepticism for vaccines is unbalanced...

    Flu is not the biggest danger ...... It's the vaccine

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    You asked about a fish bowl...the observant human would just place the new species in the bowl, through that round opening on top. A limited diet controls nutrient fluxes until the ecosystem is fully functioning. Well, you make the best use of what time there is. No time to waste to bother...

    AGW Denial, The Greatest Scam in History?

    I'll ignore that you're incompetent enough to actually quote the question of Petros to which this comment applies... If a fish bowl is overpopulated and dirty, and you can't remove water, then you cut back on feeding. Feed the fish a maintenance ration. Then you will have to add cleaners. Apple...

    Apparently you're too dense to even realize that the answers are above. DB is the one contesting them. We have ample evidence of the absorptive properties of greenhouse gases, and we have abundant evidence of decreased radiation escaping to space, and we have abundant evidence of human...
