The respectable population are the moderates.
Basically, those that decide elections.
And those that think that they are heroes, are sadly deluded.
Burning all what down?

Do you think that you are representative of a majority voice in the U.S?
And what is the alternative to a government led country?
Well, either no government or another government.
Though eventually no government would become another government anyway.
The ensuing interim chaos would make for great entertainment.

The state of humanity is basically the same as it's always been.
Survival and sex driven by an insuperable internal chemistry.
Though how we dress it up has changed considerably.

A. We could force our women to wear black shrouds and kneel on a rug 5 times a day muttering in reverence to the GOD known as Dart.
Or:
B. Let women choose what they wear and what and where they mutter.
Seemingly. Dart isn't a popular choice.
One would therefore conclude that Dart is a man thing.

A character in a fantasy novel can only save the lives of fellow characters from the same fantasy novel.
You're getting fact and fiction all mixed up Trade.
Which isn't to say that fantasy characters do not inspire real people to do stuff.
So, I haven't surveyed a whole lot of life savers, but I'm guessing that people are likely to want to save drowning children irrespective of fantasy literature.

When you get to 63 you will realise that something has been deceiving your mind for past 53 years or so.
Well, you'll maybe start to realise before you get to 63.

Awareness is likely to inform one that there is more than one of something and memory will allow one to remember this fact.
So it's likely that awareness and a memory of quantity occurred prior to a corresponding symbolic or pictorial account.
Though scratching rocks with rocks or earth with sticks was probably a very early practice.

Yep, we can appreciate the functionality that life affords us.
We can differentiate between living structures and non-living structures.
And human specialism will inevitably result in human bias.
But what actually is life?
And from an unbiased perspective, what is the difference between the life within a plant and the life within a human being?

I'm not sure that quantification is a necessary requirement of effective vaccination.
One either accepts the efficacy of the smallpox vaccine or one doesn't.
Thereby inferring the efficacy of vaccination as an effective therapy against contagious pathogens.
So, another question.
What is the purpose of the Big Vaccination Conspiracy?

Anthropomorphic
Nice word, though not necessarily my contention.
My contention is that GOD as a representative label is fine and commonplace though does not necessarily require accompanying human characteristics.
Though what constitutes human characteristics is open interpretation I suppose.
Nonetheless, tales of an actual floaty about magical bloke, won't cut the mustard as far as I am concerned.
Which isn't to say that actual floaty about blokes are not a reasonable hypothesis.

Logic tends to slap one in the face.
Or not as the case may be.
So, simple question:
Why did Edward Jenner bother?
Or was he the founder member of the Big Vaccination Conspiracy Club.

Any relative hypothesis can be described as GOD.
As GOD principle is sound.
And GOD is a common label.
Alan is also popular.
And collapse and rebirth can be numerically represented.
But will anything be counting?
Atheists tend to be less accepting of mythological hypotheses wherein Man simply invents GODS in the image of himself.
Atheists do not necessarily dismiss the GOD principle.
Theist/deist is generally used to describe a believer in one of various popular MANGOD inventions.
Though an atheist could be regarded as a deist, in so much as the definition of a supreme being is open to interpretation.
Whereas theists often have an accompanying book.

If I'm not mistaken, you guessed that Covid was the same as Flu.
So in my opinion, a virologist would be the best person to either confirm or deny your guess.
Though I'm guessing that you're also guessing that all virologists are proponents of the big Covid conspiracy.
Created:

@Lemming
True.
After a while, physical existence might seem mundane and arduous.
Simulating an alternative can relieve the tedium and induce temporary euphoria.
Self induced euphoria is better than chemically induced euphoria.
Though continued reliance at any level can be far more detrimental than a mundane existence.
Perhaps it's better to remain mundane and content.

@Athias
My guess is Covid is just the flu renamed.
Now, who am I more likely to listen to?
A. Sadolite
B. A Virologist.
Well, if I have a preoccupation with conspiracy theory then probably Sadolite.
And from a non-conspiratorial point of view I would suggest that the reduction in the effects of the Influenza Virus is perhaps a lot to do with VACCINATION.
Q. Why has life expectancy doubled over the past 250 years?
A. Definitely not luck.
And Sadolites fellow trypanophobic Athias (just jibing), is still alive, because( in respect of the Covid virus) the chances of still being alive are far greater than not.
Nonetheless, prevention is better than cure as those conspiring health professionals would have us believe.
Stay safe Guys.

As I said, we can speculate.
You and I both.
A. Though statistics do indicate the efficacy of the vaccine.
B. Though for sure, statistics could have an alternative explanation.
Nonetheless, based upon a cause and effect principle A is more likely because there is a demonstrable cause. Namely a vaccine.
Whereas B has no demonstrable cause. Only conspiracy theory styled speculation.

Vaccination won't prevent one from contracting a virus.
Though it will limit the effects of the virus.
It was only testing that confirmed my infection, as the symptoms were less severe than that of a common cold.
I can only speculate about other possible outcomes if I had not been vaccinated.
It's reckoned that around 15% of people (UK) have never contracted Covid...Reasons unknown.
I'm not sure about your Flu comment, though the flu is also a viral infection with potentially lethal consequences for some.
Flu vaccines are recommended every autumn for the elderly and infirm (UK), and are also available for anyone else who so chooses.
Though predicting Flu strains is something of a gamble.
I think that I am older than you, but I have not as yet chosen to have the Flu vaccine.
A fourth Covid vaccine is now available and I think that I will give this a miss also.
Though it's good to have the option.
An option that all those millions of people who died from TB never had.
I rarely if ever do flabbergasted.
Do you flabbergast on a regular basis.

@sadolite
Well.
I tried to equate your statistics to global statistics...And I failed.
And "It killed a lot of people" is extremely speculative.
Nonetheless:
Overall, there is a small percentage risk of death from Covid infection.
Though risk of death is higher relative to age and health status at time of infection.
Nonetheless:
The number of Covid related deaths in the USA isn't insignificant. Whereas, presumed vaccination related deaths are far less significant.
And so:
Conspiracy theory aside, then vaccination is still prudent.
Personally:
I have had 3 vaccinations and I have also contracted Covid.
I have not experienced any side effects or long term effects from either vaccination or infection.
And like you, I can only speculate upon alternative scenarios.
Nonetheless:
I would suggest that the global response to potential risks at the time and ongoing was and is not BS.
7000000 deaths, although comparatively low was not individually insignificant.
And finally:
Statistics show that an unvaccinated person is more likely to suffer serious long term effects or death from Covid infection. This is also not BS.
Stay safe.

There are absolutely no health benefits to be gained from the mass circumcision of babies.
Clinically necessary circumcision usually occurs in later stages of physical development.
Ritual circumcision is derived of stupid men, who share stupid ideas concerning false gods and sexuality.. Doctors are not necessarily an exception to this rule.

And I would suggest that 30% of babies worldwide is indicative of an influence.

@IlDiavolo
Circumcision can have health benefits in very specific individual cases. Whereas mass circumcision for ritual purposes does not provide any mass health benefits.
In terms of necessity, ritual by definition is unnecessary, therefore ritual genital mutilation is also unnecessary.
In so much as rituals are performed simply for the sake of the ritual performance. Which implies that the ritual does not necessarily necessitate any or all of it's parts.
So mutilating genitals for the sake of the ritual performance, is therefore by association, not necessarily necessary .

People can't think outside of the box.
Would require a dissertation to answer that comment fully.
Nonetheless, I suppose that we are all boxed by the circumstances of our lives...Though not necessarily the same box.
Probably our own individual boxes.
Boxes that we have become programmed and accustomed to thinking in.
And boxes that will always grow to accommodate ongoing modifications.
Media is undoubtedly a major influencer...Though certainly not the box itself.
I would suggest that the basis of the box is founded in our formative years.
