I can't say if flu shots were ever effective. There have been a lot of questions raised regarding this in the last year. Before that folks were pointing countless problems with the so-called solutions of the past, from polio and beyond. Many of these solutions could easily also simply be attributed to better nutrient and/or hygiene developments.

If you must get the shot, my advice: research the contents, the bad cases, the source, the chain of custody, etc.

I agree, we need to be flexible on most things.

I'd disagree regarding the Germans. Regardless of their philosophies, behavior, or leadership, they were the underdogs targeted for being critical to controlling Europe, and thus Eurasia to dominate the entire world. The irony is that the Germans, as center of Europe, despite propaganda claiming otherwise, could never conquer the world already dominated by the Anglosphere. I'd say most of common German history is bullshit and political theater to obscure the levers of power, their motives, their actions, and their plans.

I aim to evolve my meme-making into something more memeingful. Stay 'tooned for AnimMemes.
