Keys are typically brass and non magnetic.

A point missed by the press so far: Keys are commonly made of brass, which is non-magnetic.

[@SchgurmTewehr]

Yeah I don’t think it’s the job of the press to tell you what a key is made of, regardless of what you might use that information for. It’s clear that you should use a magnet to find out whether something is magnetic. Or just see if it is covered in metal like spoons, as Russell pointed out.

[@SchgurmTewehr]

Video: shows clip of confused woman who clearly doesn't know what you apparently know about keys. You: "the press missed the point what keys are made out of" WTF how did you leap from her confusion to realising that the press doesn't teach us every single little useless life lesson?

Wearing a mask actually is a lot like „keeping a fart in your trousers“. In the sense that it may annoy you a little, but you do it altruistically, so that others don’t have to find out how you smell inside if you know’I‘m saying.

[@hayleylongster4698]

Yes, Russell, know who else has expressed 'reservations' about these injections (whilst facing federal mandates)? NASA JPL scientists. "We can do the math" they said, in their open letter opposing mandates. So er...........

[@SchgurmTewehr]

Yeah, I see that logic. Producing and knowing how satellites work is clearly the same as knowing medicine. Yeah, totally makes sense. Why don't you just ask a mathematician, if it's just about knowing math?

[@SchgurmTewehr]

I thought you guys don't like government institutions (JBL is a federal lab), without generalising too much. Unless it supports your conclusion I guess. Ah, why do i bother, that's actually very human, it's called confirmation bias. But please still ask yourself that question. It's always good tonne critical, including of yourself and your own opinions and thoughts. I try to be that as well. That's even advice I have from a TED-talk by a brain surgeon, to reference an actual expert. Will provide a link (to the TED-talk), as it was good overal as well.

[@SchgurmTewehr]

Corrections: to be critical of yourself, not "tonne". I meant brain scientist, not surgeon. But he actually says he is a psychiatrist, although I still consider that an expert on the topic.

Perhaps instead of living in complete fear of COVID-19, it would be better to encourage healthier lifestyles and work to improve the slow pandemic of chronic lifestyle diseases exacerbated by COVID-19?

[@godamid4889]

What like wearing a mask and getting yourself vaccinated?

[@JK_JK_JK]

​@@godamid4889 Lifestyle diseases can be defined as diseases linked with one’s lifestyle. These diseases are non-communicable diseases. They are caused by lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating, alcohol, substance use disorders and smoking tobacco, which can lead to heart disease, stroke, obesity, type II diabetes and lung cancer. The diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer include Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, atherosclerosis, asthma, cancer, chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney failure, osteoporosis, PCOD, stroke, depression, obesity and vascular dementia.

[@SchgurmTewehr]

He doesn't need to respond to that. He is 1) a comedian. 2) you can't just reference "science" as a source. That is not a source. What science? What study? Who defined "the science"? Called the burden of proof (fallacy if you want him to prove you wrong, when you didn't even bother to prove your own point). Now to make a less relevant point: where did you get all the money to read studies blocked by a paywall? As far as I know, Sci-Hub doesn't work anymore, as it is illegal and I think there was a court case against it from Elsevier, in India.

[@rat-craftedeggsalad4598]

Here's my science...I am fine,and not dead,almost was too scared of the needles,but I braved through,and now...I still ain't dead,I don't feel mind controlled,and despite being around alot of covid I didn't get sick. Pfizer CEO said creepy stuff sure...but if the vaccine had issues,I would have told you.

[@sallyroddy6566]

love you Russell but how naive you are!

[@jackmajor7865]

Please explain all the unusual deaths of fit young athletes which is happening world wide since the vaccination programme started. Each to their own beliefs but please don't make fun of those who believe different to you.

[@JoeDouglas]

He's not making fun of people with different beliefs, he's making fun of idiots

[@tarrisvaal]

Well, the difficulty in answering this concern is - as you say - who do you believe? To take this example, it would appear that this particular claim was checked by several authorities including fifa and the who, and found that they were either pre existing conditions or deaths that pre dated the pandemic itself! (The links are on Google if you need a source). So this appears to be a non concern relating to the vaccine. But Obviously my difficulty here is that if you don't trust fifa or Google or the who or any source that I could give you... then what else is there for me to say? I'd love to be able to reassure you but as you rightly point out; It comes down to what you personally believe. So instead I would ask that you consider what is your responsibility to your community. If the vaccine is dangerous then the sheer amount of people affected negatively worldwide would surely have been catastrophic by now. It isn't. So... do you act to protect yourself and those around you from the disease that is killing people? Or do you stay away from a vaccine that - if it was harmful - is taking its sweet time to be so? I wish you the best in your decision

[@simonrunswick5730]

@@tarrisvaal Of course the vaccine is 100% effective and safe. Except most of the Covid cases now have been vaccinated and Phizer have been forced to admit to 1223 deaths related to their vaccine IN THE FIRST THREE MONTHS. And at its worst, the virus had a 99% recovery rate and average age of mortality of 82.5, higher than the national average according to the ONS, the government's own statistics. Almost all young people were asymptomatic and at very little risk.

[@tarrisvaal]

@@simonrunswick5730 I believe the vaccine was actually rated at 70-90% effective depending on variant and source. It was never said to be complete protection, which is why even people who are vaccinated can still get the virus (albeit that they do tend to suffer far milder symptoms). Its a vaccine. Not a cure. As for the number of people still coming down with it despite vaccination, that sadly is a numbers game. If the vaccine is 99% effective (for example) and 100 people are exposed to the virus, that's still 1 person coming down with it. If deaths from the virus were say 1% then in theory it's 1 in 10000 people who would succumb. But when we are talking populations in the millions that number rises exponentially and that's assuming everyone was vaccinated. Without that shield it gets far worse. I can understand some people dislike the idea of vaccines (they always have since they were invented in the 1700s) but at the end of the day even a low efficacy vaccine will help to some degree and the more people have it the harder it is for the virus to keep its hold on a population
