Just got a password change request for gaijin.net account (War Thunder) that I haven't used for years. Data breach?

@freemo They certainly don't affect if there are none :)

@freemo The problem is that there is *no* education around vaccines these days, either medical or holistic :) I have talked to a group of senior vaccinology doctors in Poland last year and asked them when was the last countrywide vaccine information campaign - and their response was a blank stare :) So in a way, medicine is losing the war with anti-science scammers by walkover.

Please *understand* your memes.

> "market place of free idea is a fundamentally flawed concept"

> "we should improve society"

There's zero analogy between these two statements.
