Yeah, but you could build two for twice the price!

That naming does makes sense, given what the treatment does, although I agree they really need to work on their marketing and come up with a term that won't cause confusion or get the anti-vax folk excitable.

From the article:

"A typical vaccine teaches the human immune system to recognize a virus or bacteria as an enemy that should be attacked. The new “inverse vaccine” does just the opposite: it removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule. While such immune memory erasure would be unwanted for infectious diseases, it can stop autoimmune reactions like those seen in multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn’s disease, in which the immune system attacks a person’s healthy tissues."

I can relate to this, but how are you actually preparing yourself?

Are you planning your response to the problem, considering how to improve the outcome for next time, learning from any mistakes you or others may have made to end up there?

Or are you just dwelling on the possible negative outcome that hasn't happened yet, so you can say 'Told you so' to yourself or anyone who will listen after the fact?

Like I said, I can relate to this, but I'm slowly trying to turn my pessimism into something productive.

They're smarter than us, you say?

I think it definitely comes down to intent.

I get unexplainable joy watching scammers get scammed on YouTube.

My favourite scam scammer is kitboga.

Are you going up, though?

Or barely treading water as life keeps throwing obstacles at you?

Yeah, those numbers are very questionable.

But it's a good cause, and every bit helps, with possibly a significant difference in the local areas targeted.

As much as I despise Facebook, if you're interested in solar, electricity and generally improving the performance of your home, you should check out the 'My Efficient Electric Home' (MEEH) group.
