Posted in: Ukraine says it stopped air attacks on Odesa, while British and Dutch jets go after Russian bombers See in context

Falling debris from the interceptions of 15 Shahed drones and eight Kalibr missiles damaged a residential building, a supermarket and a dormitory of an educational facility in the city, Odesa Gov. Oleh Kiper said.

Most damage likely caused by Ukrainian defense system that hit or miss the incoming drones and missiles.

Again and again, targeting civilian infrastructure!

No, they target infrastructure used for importing and storing weapons used by Ukraine to target Russian civilian infrastructure.

Russia prevails!

Posted in: Scientists say human-caused global warming is exacerbating natural disasters such as fires and floods around the world, making them both more likely and more deadly. Do you agree? See in context

Science doesn't care about "do you agree?" . Science backs up it's claims with evidence.

That's true. But decisions that might be made on dealing with potential issues do require some form of agreement - that's how politics and governments work.

Have politicians and governments ever made the right decision, that was right for the people (rather than for their backers)?

Just look at how they handled the pandemic, while pretending to base everything on "the science". Everything they did was the opposite of what they should have done.

According to what respected institution of medicine or science?

Those institutions of medicine or science have lost a tremendous amount of respect lately.

Polio vaccine has a 99% to 100% efficacy with and extremely low Breakthrough rate of not even 1% while the latest data shows a breakthrough rate over 19% amongst the fully vaccinated.

Yes, and the polio vaccine isn't something that needs to be taken every few months.

“I got the impression that the Japanese students are very sheltered”

Completely “ignorant” of WW2 history is more appropriate.

Or they do not accept the victor's version.

Yes, Hiroshima & Nagasaki, but teach them why it happened.

Yes, the US wanted to show off to the Soviets their new weapon.

Teach history correctly or the same mistakes will happen.

Indeed, that's why the same mistakes are happening because NOBODY is teaching it correctly.

Nobody talks about eating more healthily, exercise or other ways to boost the immune system.

Perhaps because everyone already knows the benefits of a healthy lifestyle?

The benefits of eating right (low carb), exercise, vitD, zinc... far outweigh those of the vax, yet we only hear about the benefits of the vax, except for comments on JT or some censored doctors.

If the powers that be wanted to keep this hidden, it would never be mentioned on the MSM, and there certainly would not be an article about it on JT.

That is the thing, for many patients "eating properly and exercising" is not an effective solution (as even the title of the article says) so drugs that very importantly increase the success rate of making these lifestyle changes actually decrease the risk for the patients. 

The thing is that in many cases it is not really eating properly. Eating "properly" is often unhealthy, just as "misinformation" is often truth.

Drugs, especially new ones, often have important side effects, known and unknown (to the public) ones.
