  If I were looking for subtle trouble, I'd look at the brain, which might be influenced in its development by a psychoactive chemical in childhood.
  And at the wetware that runs on it.
  Not at the chassis.

  Well, Peripheral arterial disease isn't, i think, from vasospasm.
  And the effects you point to seem to be acute, rather than chronic.

  The magnitude and frequency of effects are significant.

  @mackwinston @snacks perhaps one motor lane in the centre, with occasional unloading spaces.

  @JoBo @lasagna curious assertions. And I think neither correct nor clever.

  @JoBo @thehatfox This is not sensible.

  @theletterd @merridew
  There's cutting, and there's deflecting.
  A demographic shift is observed in the USA, related to political stupidity and preference on mask wearing.

  @merridew You might find it helpful to see this as lining up the whole population, of the world, in ranks, ordered by how useful or urgent it is to immunise them.

  You have enough doses for fewer ranks than are there. You have more doses of flu vaccine than of COVID.

  In what order have you put your ranks?

  Are the ranks identical for the 2 (and several other) vaccines?

  You may care to imagine being in rank n+1
  Why should you be swapped with someone in rank n?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covid booster jabs to be approved for sale to UK public⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  @fakeman_pretendname @merridew
  None of them are £0
  We buy them in bulk, and pay for most through general taxation, efficiently.

  The COVID vaccines are made by actually more expensive and difficult techniques/ologies, which are available in new facilities of more limited extent.

  Expect the products of those techs to become more plentiful and cheaper, and the difference may get below the order of magnitude. Not to parity.

  @HikuNoir @Emperor
  Gargle with some if you like.

  You may care to consider that nerve agents, as with other war gases, are optimised to be lethal or disabling on exposure after deployment, and then decay, allowing occupation of territory etc.

  You may also care to consider the targetting of the agent in these particular instances, and the availability of high-quality intensive care facilities.
