Same thing with mumps. It's not actually life threatening outside of some rare cases. It's just that if a male gets it, toss a five sided die. If it lands on one, he goes sterile.
That and it apparently causes one hell of a testicular pain.
The statement is factually true - most of the sanitation advances happened around the same time as vaccinations became common. You appear to be ignorant of this fact.
Most doctors are educated on constant basis by various pharmaceutical companies. Basically company pays for a weekend trip to a nice spa, that includes lectures on their lines of drugs, and what they do.
This is pretty much international phenomenon, and it's often frowned upon as it's seen as a form of bribing. As a result it's often legislated just how much companies can offer doctors, and how long such "vacations" can last and so on. But these are also viewed as pretty much mandatory to keep doctor's knowledge base up to date, so they are not completely banned.
Well, that would be given, considering that MMR stands for measles, mumps and rubella. Of three, rubella for example is a mild disease in teens and adults.
The reason we inoculate against it is so that we have defense against pregnant mothers getting it. And when they do get, the common treatment is therapeutic abortion. We have no effective treatment or cure for the baby in the womb even today, but luckily enough, mother nature does its part and aborts the child without medical assistance in most cases.
45Wh is about the total volume of my laptop's battery. A slightly more powerful variation of my laptop with the same battery can easily suck it up in less than an hour under load.
Unlike my laptop, car likely has many systems, several of them mechanical, than must be kept in awake state during car's shutdown. I would imagine 45W/h is not a huge amount for a fully electric car with a lot of different systems.
Not to be an ass, but you should look up what rubella does to children when contracted by pregnant mother. Rubella causes organ deficiency and organ failure. That means that baby is likely to have a cocktail of following problems: Blindness Deafness Severe heart deficiency Other life threatening organ disorders/failures.
That is if it's unlucky and doesn't die in the womb. For death is a mercy when it comes to most children born with congenital rubella syndrome, which is the main reason why rubella vaccination is so common. Rubella itself is actually a fairly mild disease when contracted by adults, though it gets more severe when contracted by elderly.
As far as I know, most medical authorities reacted with a mix of fury and horror when this came to light, as consequences of these actions were extremely obvious.
Sadly there are people who just don't give a damn about "other people". Especially when they happen to be citizens of another country and "brown people" on top of it. And when these people do things like one you link, good people suffer. Both those who should have been vaccinated and those who are actually trying to help them by setting up legitimate vaccination programs.
Last I heard, the doctor who was the part of that CIA plot was convicted for murder. Considering the state of Pakistani jails, he's pretty unlikely to get out alive. But CIA part of the operation walked away with pats on the back for "job well done", which sadly means that we can be expecting more of this kind of action being taken in the future.
It's not a "vaccine failure rate". It's the cold biological fact that a lot of people have various autoimmune conditions that prevent formulation of proper antibodies. It's why herd immunity is so important - it protects these people by eliminating sources of disease from which they could contract it.
Nice, you survived. You have a daughter. She's happily married, you're expecting your first grandchild.
She gets rubella. Your grandchild is born severely disabled because of the disease, but will likely survive and live a long and unhappy life.
How do you feel?
Fact is that around 40-60% of children did not survive to adulthood before vaccinations. Most of them died to various infectious diseases that we are forgetting they ever existed because of vaccination. You can be that other 40-60% that survive. Congratulations of getting good cards in that particular game.
No, we'd like the anti-nuclear lobby to stop blocking plant upgrades. In doing so, they effectively cause these problems. The sad reality is that anti-nuclear lobby blows everything out of proportion. Minor piping problem on secondary circuit? "Nuclear accident!" Plant generational mid life upgrades? "They are building up more nuclear, PROTEST, BLOCK IT!"
And then you get Fukushima, 60s plant that never got upgraded, get hit by earthquake order of magnitude bigger than they were originally designed for, survive it, get hit by a tsunami that kills its diesel generators which are safety critical because plant didn't receive any mid-life upgrades at all, then it melts down as infrastructure in the region is devastated and there's no power for downright ancient cooling systems.
Nuclear industry isn't the one that is able to turn its image around. Your strawman argument is an excellent example - nothing in this world is "perfectly safe", and claiming otherwise instantly results in "oooh, you admitted it's dangerous". It's facing power hungry well financed "green" anti-nuclear lobby, financed by coal and oil, which are loving the Fukushima by the way, they likely paid for most of the lobby financing done in last century just on last two year buildup in Japan and Germany alone. I seriously doubt that nuclear will ever be able to shake the image that is being pushed on it with so much of both money and fairly uneducated people who think "something I can't see that kills, scaaaary" when they hear "nuclear", at least until the global warming gets really bad.
By that time, it'll probably be too late, but that's all too human I guess - we'll just shove our collective heads in the sand, get scared by something we can't see but we know is nowhere near as harmful as alternatives, and build up those alternatives because their harmfulness, we can at least see. It's pretty fucking horrifying, but we can see it - so by definition of average person, it's not as scary.
Nothing wrong with this. Another reactor that was closer to epicenter and got hit by larger tsunami survived just fine. Of course, it was a generation newer, and not 60s tech with better seawall to boot.
It's a good thing that all such findings can simply be passed over internet to journalists over the border of the country anonymously. Or just posted on twitter/pastebin.
To be exact, "forever" is probably equal to enough half-lives of most active and dangerous materials so that they become relatively harmless.
Same idea as in Chernobyl. Unlike chemical waste, radioactive waste destroys itself over time. It makes sense to contain it and let most of it destroy itself to manageable levels before cleaning it up.
I disagree because I've actually seen a lot of such people. People, as a general rule, are NOT reasonable with their doctors. In fact, many people get downright crazy with claims about their health, to the point where I sometimes wondered how they survive their daily life if they act like that in the hospital.
Actually, you didn't understand it. They are pushing to solve the solution where pressure building up in the membrane breaks it, and the higher the pressure, the more efficient the system becomes.
So while the plant is designed, according to TFA "They have designed methods that harvest the energy released when fresh and saline water mix, such as when a river meets the sea."
They tested it out with salinity up to five times that of sea water to stress test the membrane and see if the pressure will break it (the current problem). It did not.
Have you ever seen an average patient? I've seen a lot of them, I spent about six months as a medic in the finnish army, and a lot of that time was assisting the doctors in the hospital.
Average patient that thinks he knows what is wrong with him is typically: 1. Wrong. 2. Wrong in a way that is dangerous to him/herself. 3. Is very difficult to convince of 1. and 2.
I've never had a problem making a proper self diagnosis and convincing a doctor I was right. This included specialist issues. I did have a one case where I had to effectively fight with doctor to get my treatment, because she wouldn't believe me, and I ended up apologizing to her because I viewed my behavior in light of my former experiences and understood that I managed to trip that "patient that is wrong but thinks he's right" flag in doctor's mind by behaving in a certain way. Doctor was convinced that I was correct within five minutes of my apology.
As a result, the only advice I can give you is that instead looking at the doctors as those who are to blame for those issues, you may note that there are two sides in both those stories. Is it at all possible that your behavior fueled these problems as much as your doctor's unwillingness to take you seriously?
Personally I've always been the type to consider that I should change my part of the issue if at all possible before bitching about other's. As a result, I've never failed getting a doctor convinced that my self-made diagnosis is correct when it was in fact correct. This in spite of having to do this several times over my lifetime at this point.
As I understand it, this is a project for power plant located at the point where river meets an ocean. You have ocean level salinity meeting fresh water, all available in one place.
Advantage of this is that you can do both. The energy in question here is not potential energy that is converted by convential hydro, but osmotic pressure (effectively chemical energy) from having large sources of fresh and saline water.
It's basically a new kind of hydro that uses a different energy source.

20% chance on average.
So you are not. Okay.
Same thing with mumps. It's not actually life threatening outside of some rare cases. It's just that if a male gets it, toss a five sided die. If it lands on one, he goes sterile.

Are you familiar with concept of "infectious" disease?
As far as I know, most medical authorities reacted with a mix of fury and horror when this came to light, as consequences of these actions were extremely obvious.
Sadly there are people who just don't give a damn about "other people". Especially when they happen to be citizens of another country and "brown people" on top of it.

Errare humanum est.
Again, the generation newer plant was closer to the epicenter, took the bigger hit and bigger tsunami. It survived it just fine.

"Kaveri" in finnish means "pal" as in a friend.
Which is actually pretty fitting for the chip that has CPU and GPU on one die.

It takes two to tango.
As I understand it, this is a project for power plant located at the point where river meets an ocean. You have ocean level salinity meeting fresh water, all available in one place.
If this statement was true, we'd still be using things like freon in our fridges and so on.
Reality is that "green" option doesn't need to be as good. It just needs to be good enough.
Advantage of this is that you can do both. The energy in question here is not potential energy that is converted by convential hydro, but osmotic pressure (effectively chemical energy) from having large sources of fresh and saline water.
It's basically a new kind of hydro that uses a different energy source.
The point remains - elitism is the part of the profession, which is used to the advantage of the patient.
Another thing used in the same way is peer pressure, to the point of bullying in the workplace, a fairly known problem among nurses.
