like that other comment said: it’s not for everyone.

some kids are gonna love it, some are gonna hate it.

target demographics for products aren’t monoliths ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it’s about being able to read emotions:

a large portion of autistic people have trouble reading emotions in others.

that’s why they’re often drawn to things like books, comics, animated content, theater, and, like in this example, robots that clearly express their emotions.

speaking for myself (diagnosed ASD), it’s the ambiguity that bothers me more than anything. i like it when things are nice and clear, neatly organized, and generally don’t require a lot of attention to interpret.

interpreting the environment is taxing enough, adding a lot of emotional interpreting on top can quickly get overwhelming, which leads to poor mood, performance, and ultimately just straight-up headaches…again, this isn’t a hunch, it was part of the ASD diagnostic test.

so i can imagine how much easier it is for kids with similar problems to relate emotionally to something that shows it’s emotions in clear, easily recognizable ways, rather than having to guess constantly. that constant guessing gets real tiring, real quick…

so you admit you have no idea, and then make a definitive statement to NOT get vaccinated.

you do see the hypocrisy here, right?

and “at least” means they do not know what happens after, presumably because data is not yet available.

given that they very clearly state that getting fresh-ups does help, the reasonable assumption is to get the vaccine just in case.

not the other way around, like you did.

you are spreading misinformation, if you say not to get the vaccine, just because you assume that it has downsides.

to use your own argument: IF fresh-ups had negative effects, they would say so in plain words.

they don’t do that, which shows nicely how dumb of an argument that is.

this is FALSE:

The point still stands: The STIKO does not recommend yearly fresh-ups for people who have base immunity. You still got a fresh-up. I didn’t. Thus, I followed their recommendations, you didn’t.

the guidelines say protections last at least 12 months, after which you should still get a fresh-up, even if you have base immunity:

Die Kombination aus Impfung und Infektion (hybride Immunität) verleiht einen guten Schutz vor schweren Krankheitsverläufen nach SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen, der auf Basis der bisher verfügbaren Untersuchungen mindestens 12 Monate anhält.

the recommendation literally says EVERYONE, and in this case specifically “Für Personen im Alter ≥ 18 Jahre und Schwangere ohne Grunderkrankung” (the very same paragraph, right at the beginning), has protections that last about 12 months.

this is INCLUDING “Basisimmunität”, which that same paragraph states lasts about 12 month.

they really shouldn’t use “Basisimmunität”, because it sounds like it lasts indefinitely, which is false; it lasts about 12 months, and then decreases in effectiveness.

this is apparently the part you can’t read properly: the base immunity is NOT permanent.

getting a fresh-up is the recommendation.

NOT getting a fresh-up is AGAINST the recommendation.

You still got a fresh-up.

i can’t believe i have to state this again, but: I AM A DIFFERENT USER.

i never said anything about getting the fresh-up.

stop spreading anti-vax biullshit, just because you can’t read properly.

and especially don’t go around telling other people they can’t read, if you yourself are the one incapable of it.

to quote YOU:

learn to read.

that’s not what I’m responding to.

here’s what you actually wrote:

If it was actually negligible then the STIKO would say “everyone should still get vaccinated”. But it isn’t, so they don’t.

which is a flat out lie.

they DO recommend everyone get at least one vaccine. and they still recommend that.

AT LEAST ONE.

you wrote the exact opposite of what you’re claiming now and it’s straight up disinformation.

screw that bullshit cop out you buried in parentheses halfway down AFTER, and completely disconnected from, a closed statement that is entirely false.

you can’t post a false statement, then another false statement, and then add a caveat at the end that amounts to little more than “just kidding…unless?”.

the STIKO recommendation also is not either/or as you frame it.

the actual recommendation is:

• ALWAYS at least 1 vaccine, regardless of everything else.
• at least 3 contacts with the pathogen in total, including any and all vaccines

that you falsely presented as no longer being the case. it is still the case.

on top of everything, you are the one who can’t read, since you haven’t even realized that I’m a different user entirely and not the one who made the side-eye comment.

to quote another user:

glasshouses --> you --> stones

yo, why are you fucking lying about the STIKO recommendations?

the link you yourself provided says to definitely get the vaccine, in no uncertain terms:

Für Personen im Alter ≥ 18 Jahre und Schwangere ohne Grunderkrankung ist aus Sicht der STIKO eine Basisimmunität weiterhin für einen Schutz vor schweren COVID-19-Verläufen ausreichend. Wichtig für die Basisimmunität ist, dass das Immunsystem dreimal Kontakt mit Bestandteilen des Erregers (Impfung) oder dem Erreger selbst (Infektion) hat. Mindestens einer dieser Kontakte soll durch die Impfung erfolgen. Die Kombination aus Impfung und Infektion (hybride Immunität) verleiht einen guten Schutz vor schweren Krankheitsverläufen nach SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen, der auf Basis der bisher verfügbaren Untersuchungen mindestens 12 Monate anhält.

(i’m not gonna bother translating that into english; sorry about that, but it’s not worth the effort.)

the STIKO makes it ABUNDANTLY clear that you absolutely should get AT LEAST 1 vaccination for “Basisimmunität” (basic immunity).

take your outright lies elsewhere with your anti-vax bullshit.

yeah, saw that comment later…seems like a troll…

nah, they’re just THAT dense and have no idea what they’re talking about…not a troll, just too dumb to realize they’re being dumb…

or…you know… they’re just morons.

no, but:

• 1. those were off the top of my head, there’s definitely been more.
• 2. these events tend to happen in bursts. it starts with one dead tyrant. then there’s another. then there’s general mayhem for a short while. then order sets in again.

it’s a cycle as old as civilization itself.

(not to be confused with that bullshit cyclical history theory… it’s “a” cycle, not “the” cycle and it’s neither guaranteed, nor predictable, necessary, nor regular. just to preempt any confusion about that)

of course it won’t! it hasn’t happened ever before either!

like it didn’t happen in 2011.

like it didn’t happen in 2006.

like it didn’t happen in the 1920s.

or the 1800s.

or the 1700s.

or the 1600s.

or the 1500s.

it’s always never happened before, and it always never happened again.

tyrants never got what they deserved before, so they’ll never get what they deserved again.

are you just unfamiliar with the entire concept of history?

here’s a handy list of all the times this exact thing never happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinations

if only there was a recent example of how to effectively solve that particular problem…

on top of which it creates a security issue too:

by teaching users to always instantly click on “OK”, “Accept”, etc, they stop reading the actually important messages, because they’re being bombarded by so, so many useless pop-ups everywhere…

bit late to the party, but:

it’s not that reports out of a warzone shouldn’t be questioned… it’s the way the user up top chose to frame their skepticism.

it reeks of alt-right divide-and-conquer tactics…

there’s plenty of people with poor articulation, but this is not that. this is on purpose.

there’s a certain way the far-right tends to speak that’s very distinct, once you start noticing it. and tankies, certainly not by accident, use a lot of the same language.

may i offer you a cactus in these trying times?

this is exactly, and i cannot stress enough just how exactly, the plot of “Don’t look up”

austria is gonna burn before we give up falco, lol
