You are ignorant about the main causes of disease in 3rd world countries: poor food, filthy water, filthy living conditions, no sanitation. Vaccines don't help this. The money on vaccines would be better spent giving them clean water.
Clean water and not living in filth are certainly important components of healthy living, but are nowhere near the only components.
Remember the Measles outbreak at Disney Land? That occurred in the United States, which has some of the best sanitation and cleanest water on the planet. It occurred because of anti-vax parents who think that life-saving medication is a bad thing.
You are talking about the outbreak where only 45% of the people were un-vaccinated. That is a good example of why the vaccines don't work. It was most likely someone vaccinated that still carries and transmits the disease that caused the outbreak. Look at the outbreaks in China where you have a 99.999% vaccination rate. Pack Immunity is a theory that has not been proven to even be a real thing.
It also appears that your gut-microbes may be related to autism. At least the majority of autism sufferers also have gut-biome problems and be trying to correct the gut-biome you can fix some of the worst symptoms of autism.
Once a species is infected with the Wolbachia bacteria it seems to do just fine, maybe even better. Check out the Wikipedia page if you don't know what this thing does.
Method of sexual differentiation in hosts
These bacteria can infect many different types of organs, but are most notable for the infections of the testes and ovaries of their hosts. Wolbachia species are ubiquitous in mature eggs, but not mature sperm. Only infected females, therefore, pass the infection on to their offspring. Wolbachia bacteria maximize their spread by significantly altering the reproductive capabilities of their hosts, with four different phenotypes:
- Male killing occurs when infected males die during larval development, which increases the rate of born, infected, females.
- Feminization results in infected males that develop as females or infertile pseudofemales.
- Parthenogenesis is reproduction of infected females without males. Some scientists have suggested that parthenogenesis may always be attributable to the effects of Wolbachia.[10] An example of a parthenogenic species is the Trichogramma wasp,[11] which has evolved to procreate without males with the help of Wolbachia. Males are rare in this tiny species of insect, possibly because many have been killed by that same strain of Wolbachia.[12]
- Cytoplasmic incompatibility is the inability of Wolbachia-infected males to successfully reproduce with uninfected females or females infected with another Wolbachia strain, which reduces the reproductive success of those uninfected females and therefore promotes the infecting strain. In the mechanism of cytoplasmic incompatibility, Wolbachia interferes with the parental chromosomes during the first mitotic divisions to the extent that they can no longer divide in sync.[13]
So they the Ttrichogramma wasp can reproduce without males! And we want this for our Zika carrying mosquitoes now also? Sounds great to me.
It is the lies that people like the GP spew out that lead to people having miscarriages or dead children because they don't know the difficulties in getting all the nutrients when you don't eat meat.
On the other hand, we have people who are currently subjecting themselves to be lab rats, testing whether we can survive without meat.
You might want to check out the millions (now hundreds of millions) in India who have done fine without meat from before Christ was born. 30-40% of India is vegetarian and has been for much longer than most long-term tests if you open your eyes.
The only reason people in India can be vegetarian and be healthy about it is because their food is so dirty and infested with insects.
It is true that Hindu vegans living in certain parts of India do not suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency. This has led some to conclude that plant foods do provide this vitamin. This conclusion, however, is erroneous as many small insects, their feces, eggs, larvae and/or residue, are left on the plant foods these people consume, due to non-use of pesticides and inefficient cleaning methods. This is how these people obtain their vitamin B12. This contention is borne out by the fact that when vegan Indian Hindus later migrated to England, they came down with megaloblastic anaemia within a few years. In England, the food supply is cleaner, and insect residues are completely removed from plant foods (16).
And your points about problems with soy can be expanded. I understand that soy does not digest very well in humans unless it was fermented first. This would be how they made soy in the past, but now it is done differently and no fermenting is done.
Hardly lab rats. A sizable percent of India (the world's most populous country) have been eating a vegetarian diet for centuries. The longest lived communities in the world all share a common trait: very little meat consumption.
It's not an experiment. You can survive without eating meat, and you will probably live longer if you don't eat much of it. It's not that we can't live without meat, it's that meat is tasty and we enjoy eating it.
I know less meat and more veggies is healthy for me, but I'm not giving up meat because I love meat.
The only reason the vegetarian diet in India works so well for the people there is because they end up eating a lot of insects that infest their grain. If they did not get the missing nutrients from accidental animal matter, then they would have much more problems with malnutrition.
I think you are confusing vegan with vegetarian. Vegan is more about using animals for any means. Even honey is not allowed because it had to be stolen from the bees. It does not matter if they make extra, what matters is that they did not say you could have it. Vegetarians eat eggs and milk and sometimes fish. That is where the health stuff is a main focus. When you go further into vegan, you are doing it for much more extreme reasons.
This is how I understand the two terms and how they differ.
It's actually an accepted authors' freedom to not have their works adulterated by third parties. It indeed doesn't infringe on your freedom not to watch the work with your children.
Tell this to every author of a movie that has been shown on TV. They get edited in many ways just to show them on broadcast TV.
I can also say with absolute certainty that we have never seen any evidence of aliens in human history.
Doesn't that also only hold if you discount the evidence that we have seen? Current eyewitness accounts, people who claim to have been taken aboard the ships, ancient people who saw battles in the sky between many flying ships and drew pictures of what they saw, etc. It also seems the same could be said about it being gas clouds or asteroids also. We don't have evidence it can be any of those things because it blocks too much light and from what I was recently reading gives off no infrared energy from the light it is supposedly blocking. Nothing we know of can do that, so it can't be a passive object, it must be something that is actively absorbing the energy and transforming it into something else that gives off no signature, so you can say with absolute certainty that it is not a natural object.
I don't think farming crops like to grow directly on bedrock. All of Canada's soil was pushed down to the Midwest of the United States during the last ice age, so I don't think it will work so well to move farming up there.
Like trying to travel to the horizon. You can see it right over there, but the more you move toward it, the further it travels away from you. I seems to me that the speed of light limit may be something similar to the horizon. It is there, but it isn't really a thing, but an illusion.
Because the gap between artificial neural networks and the smartest human alive is closing at an accelerating pace. This is to be expected since the smartest human alive today is probably approximately as intelligent as the smartest person alive 100 years ago. Meanwhile, compare a Babbage mechanical computer to a modern day smartphone. That's the sort of change in velocity which seems to be a long way away until you blink and suddenly you're as antiquated as an adding machine.
And the smartest computer today cannot even do what the simplest living creature can do. You give a novel situation to an animal and it figures out what to do. The best computer would need a special neural network created for each situation it is expected to find itself in. There is no learning on it's own accord, only artificial training pushed into the NN.
Your brain went through the same brute force feedback loop when it was wiring itself before you were conscious enough to recognize it. It is also far better than anything we'll be able to make artificially in a variety of ways, but it isn't qualitatively different.
I would like to see a neural network figure out what a cat looks like without the training. I didn't have to show 1000's of images of cats to my children and tell them each time that it is a cat, their brains did that work on it's own with very few training sessions.
The primary cost of a taxi/uber is the driver. Once you don't have to pay them the cost of just calling a car to you, and using it only when you need it, is a tiny fraction of the cost of buying and owning your own car.
If this was true, then Zip cars would be cheaper than owning your own car. If you use one every single day to commute I don't think it pans out to being cheaper, even though you are not paying for a driver in those cars.
Plus really long extension cords so you can plug your can in when it is parked in street parking several blocks away. They also seem to have forgotten about all the used vehicles out there. Does everybody in the world (even just everybody in the US) buy a brand new car every few years?
Near my house there is a boat ramp into the river that is only at a small park with grass and trees. There is no marina, there are no people, there are no vehicles there. There are also no gates or access control. So you now have to close all that off so you can put in a bunch of equipment so you can launch your ski boat, or even worse, your row boat! I think the boat ramp would disappear before all that happened. [sarchasm]Nice to see that in the future we can expect even more useful things to be taken away because technology is not quite as good as doing it the old fashioned way. [/sarchasm]
From the testing done with nuclear blasts done in the upper atmosphere, it appears the fears of EMP blast destroying electronics are much more overblown than we have been told. Almost nothing happened when they tested it. Something like a few street lights going out was all that occurred.
Most of the computers that were infected with the WannaCry crap were in China and Russia. Where most of the Windows installs are pirated. Pretending otherwise isn't going to solve anything. Who is the retarded one again?
Microsoft Office regularly fail to open its own documents. I have had to use Open Office to open a document and save it again just so Microsoft Office would be able to open it again. No version changes or anything either. Office saved the document but could not open it again.
I would change that to say Windows should only be used for playing games. It is too much of a pain to use for work related stuff. And if the games ran the same on another OS, I wouldn't be using Windows still.

Prions would be another problem that could come up. And I'm not sure they can detect prions that easily, if at all.
And if the prions make it out and you eat it, then your body starts making your proteins that way too and you get sick and die.
It's true that most plants haven't got much B12, but yeast isn't a plant, it's bacteria.
Yeast doesn't have B12.
And it isn't a bacteria either!
Not much point to autonomous driving if it can't park as well.
Or it could be the whole point. Why park when the car can just keep driving around until you need it again.
