... was Sculptor announcing his virtue?Sculptor wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 1:34 pm The percetage of people dying from blood clots after being vaccinated is lower than the base line percentage of people in the population dying of bloodclots for all reasons.
There is a tiny concern that those having died of bloodclots (a small number) after having the vaccine are unusual that they are no typical, being female and not old. A link between oral contraception is bing looked into.
But even if there was 100 times more deaths from bloodclots, the balance of risk is still well in favour of taking the vaccine.
You might be right, especially when it comes to Sculptor...mickthinks wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 6:58 pm Virtue is great
Agreed.

It seems to me the problem is all inside your head, Henry. I think you have a problem with people talking about being good.
Value is subjective, idiosyncratic: occasionally dumpin' on Sculptor is worthwhile to me. No one else need get it.mickthinks wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 9:35 pm Ah, it's an episode in a long running series. Fair enough. I don't have a high opinion of Sculptor's thought either.
I don't see the point in winding him up, though. *Where's the value in that?

I asked you why and *that isn't an answer. What kind of worth do you get from abusing Sculptor in such offensive terms that wouldn't come from either refuting his opinions or simply ignoring him, like—you know—an adult?
I note you edited my posts, iMod
**You think I'm iMod? That's good for me, I guess.

It is extremely difficult to understand why people behave like idiots and consider it the norm. Either it is a lack of upbringing, or a lack of intelligence.mickthinks wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 3:45 pm When an arsehole behaves like an arsehole, there is no mystery.
