Sterile though.

When reports started coming out about WiFi damaging your swimmers I immediately used my laptop as a 'laptop' and thought 'this is win win'

If you really wanted to damage the boys.

Use a MacBook as a laptop and fire up Android Studio

Amateurs. You need to get a recalled Note 7 strapped to your nuts at full brightness 24/7.

A public prosecutor had verified 130 of the vaccinations over nine months as part of an alleged fraud case, but no criminal charges were brought against the man, researchers said.

Can you imagine being a lawyer on this case and organizing the paperwork for 130+ vaccinations to prove a point lol.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Defense or Prosecution?

When did the vaccine come out, 3 years ago? Going with that, that's a vaccine every 5.05 days.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I don't understand how this is allowed. Why let someone who is already vaccinated get more vaccines pointlessly? Why nobody stepped in and said this is a waste of time and resources?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

As it is part of a fraud case I would guess he was being paid to pretend to be other people and getting the COVID vaccine on their vaccine passports so they could bypass vaccine regulations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Who says that it is allowed? It is however very easy to do as long as you have statutory health insurance. You just book an appointment with a doctor or a pharmacy that does vaccinations, give them your insurance card and get the vaccination for free. Again and again. Nobody will (or even can) check your previous vaccinations. All they can do is ask the patient.

After the vaccination they will bill the insurance, which can take months. Then someone or most likely some fraud detection system at the insurance company has to notice that something strange is going on. And since the vaccine is cheap and not a controlled substance it will probably take quite a few vaccinations to trigger a review. And even then they can not prevent further vaccinations. The only way would be to cancel your insurance entirely, which I am not even sure they are allowed to do.

Oh no, don’t tell me Germanys caught the health insurance virus?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

How would you check if someone already had the vaccine? (aside from sticking a magnet on them of course [/s just in case])

[–] where_am_i 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Impossible in Germany. That would require a digital storage of your healthcare data and it being accessible by every vaccination point. A big no-no.

Also, most European countries vaccinated anonymously and regardless of the insurance status -- yes that makes a lot of sense. But, essentially, you could vaccinate all you want without any records.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Here in Sweden you book vaccinations via the regional health care website, if the place you're getting vaccinated at isn't a hospital or equivalent they can't see your history, just that you're booked.

But there's also private vaccination companies you can go to who won't really care, they'll just suggest you wait the recommended 30 days in between vaccinations (because otherwise the immune system won't be as receptive to building immunity from the next dose)

Visually?

Anti vaxers are just going to mental gymnastics themselves into thinking the doctors are lying

[–] fsxylo 9 points 8 months ago

Are you suggesting that the dumbest people in the world could be wrong about something?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Something about vaccines having short term immunosuppressants or something overlapping with eachother, like how you never feel a mosquito bite or some other totally relatable but completely unrelated garbage.

was lookin for this

[–] where_am_i 16 points 8 months ago

The team found that the man had higher levels of immune cells and antibodies against coronavirus than people in their control group who had received three vaccine doses.

Well, it worked out for the guy. Can't blame him, he did what was best for him!

Researchers from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg said the man received the high number of vaccinations "deliberately and for private reasons".

I really want to know what the “private reasons” were

Ever since I got my first COVID vaccine I’ve never felt like I ever had enough sleep. Also long before that too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

While we found no signs of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in HIM to date, it cannot be clarified whether this is causally related to the hypervaccination regimen.

How powerful do you think he is? Do you think he has an aura that conservatives know instinctually to avoid?
