My fear on vaccines now is that the manufacturers may start putting something that's not fully tested such as the MRNA in the Covid "vaccines" in order to obtain something new to provide a new license/revenue stream as opposed to something that's tried and true but whose profit margin is down. My personal battles with the Covid vaccine have left me highly skeptical and until the manufacturers AND the government come clean, I'll remain highly skeptical.

I of course believe vaccines work. However like everything in science and the real world it is more complex than the standard science communicator makes it out. (1) MRNA vaccines are different from previous vaccines are and not as effective in that they only give a portion of the virus for the antibodies to fight against. In the Covid case it was the spike protein. (2) When they inject the spike protein in you it can still cause some damage and some the antibodies response can be harsh, this maybe because you need a larger dose of this stuff or it is more concentrated. (3) it is not as tested as other vaccines, which typically take 10 years of testing, Covid was rushed so it is natural to think it would cause more side effects. However you have to weigh in other factors like you could died of Covid if you did not have the vaccine so the side effects beat the alternative.

It does look like a lot of people who had the vaccine had some long term side effects, the issue is if this can be shown to be due to the vaccine, the lockdown, or having had Covid. It is not as easy as it looks to distinguish these. The problem is (1) older people and less healthy people took the vaccine more often so they could had many other issues that would have came up anyway. (2) These this same group of people probably did get Covid at some point and it could have had long lasting effects. (3) Sitting in your house for 2 years and not talking to anyone can also have long term effects. (4) having multiple doses of the vaccine could have some percentage of people that had issues. (5) Combinations of these,
you are old sick before the pandemic, got Covid, did not exercise for 2 years and did get some minor effects of the vaccine, so now you only blame the vaccine.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

tcp1 looking good

By scooby
I just received my annual TCP-1 letter from LLNS and a summary of the LLNS Pension Plan. Looked in pretty good shape in 2013. About 35% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 134.92%). This was a decrease from 2012 where it was 51% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 151.59%). They did note that the 2012 change in the law on how liabilities are calculated using interest rates improved the plan's position. Without the change the funding target attainment percentages would have been 118% (2012) and 105% (2013). 2013 assets = $2,057,866,902 2013 liabilities = $1,525,162,784 vs 2012 assets = $1,844,924,947 2012 liabilities = $1,217,043,150 It was also noted that a slightly different calculation method ("fair market value") designed to show a clearer picture of the plan' status as December 31, 2013 had; Assets = $2,403,098,433 Liabilities = $2,068,984,256 Funding ratio = 116.15% Its a closed plan with 3,781 participants. Of that number, 3,151 wer...
