Re: Adeptus Mechanicus FAQ – Hot Take

So.... I think the things hit are exactly what should have been at this time. It is too soon for points changes as well as these nerfs. Is it enough? Maybe not. But too many changes at once also lead to it's own set of problems.

Re: Competitive Innovations Editorial: What GW Should do About Drukhari

I will add, the article author ignored many factors of the Raider, it having fly over most other transports for example. He also compared it to a Rhino, but the reality is it is closer to a razorback (which costs a lot more, and has to pay for the heavy weapon on top of the cost. then also loses transport compacity) Or an Immolator (similar things, significantly higher cost for both the base model and weapons, less transport capacity etc). The raiders issues is it basically does everything.

So, The reddit post is interesting, however I agree also with most of the comments on the list in that the author of the post is underselling how good Raiders are compared to other transports in the game. It is tough, has an invul, good melee for a vehicle, Strong shooting etc all at an insanely cheap price for a transport. Yes, Drukari need transports, but as this article points out most of the top players are bringing up how Drukari have about 200 pts extra worth of units on the table compared to most other armies, and a big part of that is how crazy cheap their transports are compared to the output they have.

I will add 9th has not done a ton to make him super better. He is good, but not great. Then he also uses up an HQ slot, which is a lot less open now

Not exactly. Basically scotus stated they have not ruled on this yet, but see they have similar cases coming so for now they can hold off on the redistricting until they make a decision.

So, wait you don't want a lier as a canadate but support trump? You know he lies more than any ither canadate? Except for carson?. I would spend some time looking at pollitico fact if you think that trump is not a lier. Heck he right now is involved in a legal cause for fraud over his trump university.

Re: California’s Pro-Vaccination Law May Be Working

Umm, you seem to not understand how the number works. It is 1 in 10,0000 who have the illness. So the question then becomes out of those 500,000,000 how many actually had measles that year? I can guarantee it was no where near 100%.

Re: California’s Pro-Vaccination Law May Be Working

jmcdill83 — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 13:34:05 -0000

Actually yes the risknof dying from measles is a 1 in 10,000 chance in the current state of medicine. If you had actually read one of my many sources, that number is based of a large recent outbreak in france. The actually numbers of deaths were actually higher, but people where removed that already had compromised immune systems. Modern medicine has helped with measles treatments, the historical primary killer for measles, which was pneumonia can most often be treated. Yet, the 2nd way, which was when the measles virus starts attacking brain tissue, we can not really effectively treat it at this point. NVIC is a bad source. They have been caught using both faulty research as well as actually false information to make their point. Sources can be discredited without a biases. Simply put if you need to falsify information to make your point, then you are a bad source.

I am not really sure what point you are trying to make, but if you are saying autism = people who are in diapers to adulthood and need round the clock care, then you clearly do not know what autism is. Generally Autistic's have issues with social situations, but most by adulthood actually have job and are fairly functional members of society. I have some links following this with more information on Autism, so maybe you can get a bit better idea of what it actually does.

First off, please provide sources to things you are citing. So for example your study from 2004 used mice that

had a predisposition for autism in the first place. It also lacked a control group. Which by the way is why no one else can replicate the results. when correct methodology is used, no link can be found. Along with that the study in question was looking at thimerosal, which is a mercury compound used in some vaccines. However, it is almost never used in childhood vaccines (such as the MMR for example, generally only a few flu type vaccines still have it) along with that, it is not the type of mercury that is toxic. Now you are saying that 3 university's have duplicated Columbia's results, but hundreds have not been able to do so, which brings to question why those 3 did, or why they even bothered considering thimerosal's limited use.

As for your Dr. William Thompson comments, i am guessing you are referring to the book vaccine whistle
blower? A very discredited book, which has been caught heavily editing conversations had, and of note Dr. William Thompson is a psychologist, not a immunologist. Along with that Dr. Thompson was throwing out large amounts of the research that did not "fit" his conclusion, eliminate large parts of studies to get to his conclusion, and also leaving him with only a half a dozen or so people to base his conclusion on. Not anywhere near enough to prove his point.

Below are a few links to where i found some of the info

however, in less than 30 seconds i can find tons of information about how questionable a source the national
Vaccination information organization is. They are a Anti-Vaccination organization, that literally exists to discredit vaccinations. What is interesting is one of the links i list below is to the federal side effects reporting system, i can literally find 9 possible cases of someone, maybe dying last year from a side effect of a vaccine, and that is for all vaccines, not just the MMR. However, the risk of death from measles is about 1 - 10,000, possible even higher, this is a significantly higher chance than any bad side effect from a vaccine, and that does not take into consideration any of the bad side effects from measles (such as blindness, which is fairly common). Below, i have several sources, all of which are much better, and less biased than your 1.

actually no. Since science does not support that any of those things can be tied to vaccinations at all, however vaccinations do successfully prevent many dangerous illness, your statement should not be a basis on which public health is risked

Re: California’s Pro-Vaccination Law May Be Working

jmcdill83 — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 22:10:20 -0000

this comes down to, do your individual rights, outweigh the rights of everyone else in the state. Vaccine work best in situations where the majority of people are vaccinated, generally in the upper 90% range. If vaccination rates are to low the illness can spread from un-vaccinated people, along with that has a higher chance of mutating such that vaccinations may not work. The Constitution has clauses in it that allow for laws protecting the welfare of the overarching people. This is what allows for laws that for example, keep religions from forcing marriages on minors, keep private companies from making minors work, speed limits etc. these same rules can apply to vaccinations as well, as vaccinations of everyone that can do so overall help protect the general health of everyone, including those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons. Thus, there is not a constitutional ground to challenge these kinds of rulings. This is both in the preamble(though this part has little legal barring) and in the taxes/regulations section(this has very board rulings). Many states have even more specific rules regarding public welfare in their state constitutions. As an aside, freedom of religion only covers protections from the government in terms of worship, it does not give a blank slate to do things within that religion. thus the government cannot establish a state religion, nor ban a religion from being practiced. However, they can make rules against practices within that religion, such as animal or human sacrifice for example. As vaccinations are more a question of public health, than a matter of practicing religion, this again would be something that would be allowed.

Re: California’s Pro-Vaccination Law May Be Working

jmcdill83 — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 22:00:24 -0000

so, exactly what evidence do you have on that? In what percentage of children do those seondary effects actually present? Considering that in most cases it is well over 90% of the population of the US that gets vaccinated, then in many other countries it is around 98-99% of the population, yet these side effects you are talking are almost unheard of. Generally any research i have read it would be more like 1 in over a billion cases for any kind of side effect, generally those side effects are very minor. however, measles for example, has a record of killing 1 in a thousand people, with a much higher chance of a adverse side effect (blindness for example, the side effect that affected my own father, and one i never had to worry about as i was vaccinated) Polio is even worse, with an even higher chance of side effects.
