    It's almost like there is more to this "doctor" thing than 10 minutes "research" on Google! Who'd have thought it?

    There is also cell-mediated immunity, more specifically immunity involving CD8+ T-cells, gamma-delta T-cells, and natural killer cells. These are cytolytic cells that can recognize infected host cells and kill them, greatly limiting virus replication and dissemination. These cells do not require antibodies in order to function. Antibodies get almost all of the attention because they are easier to assay than cell-mediated immunity, but they are only part of the story. Don

    Well, unless you walk in on your doctor Googling shit. Queue Twilight Zone music.

    CDC published data of vaccinated vs not, even with age groups. https://mobile.twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1448826680043212802 https://www.fastcompany.com/90687783/chances-of-getting-covid-after-a-vaccine-cdc-tool-shows-breakthrough-cases-for-pfizer-moderna-jj

    Am I to imply that you are claiming that vaccinations are ineffective, because a fully vaccinated individual with a compromised immune system was infected with COVID, most likely from a non-vaccinated individual, and that person died from that infection? That is like making the claim that speed limits and seat belts don't improve safety, because a family of 4 belted in and driving the speed limit dies in a head on collision with some asshole who was street racing on a public street. Both claims would only be made by someone who is either dishonest, or clueless.

    Pretty much everything about this post is incorrect: "People who jump BASE rigs out of aircraft, then open low rarely have the first clue about the physics involved." Speculation...at best. "BASE jumpers pull low for two reasons. First, their fixed object may not be very high. Secondly, to experience ground-rush, they need to pull below 2,000 to see the horizon in their peripheral vision." Third: Separation from a solid object. Fourth: To improve heading performance (for example, on a sub-terminal slider-up jump). Etc., etc. etc. "BASE jumpers survive pulling low because they are usually falling at much less than terminal velocity. Pulling low, at terminal velocity removes the margin of error for slow openings." This statement ignores entire subsets of BASE jumps (terminal, tracking, WS) as well as the aforementioned differences between sky and BASE canopy openings. It also ignores the opening characteristics of slider-down/off packing techniques. I'm not going to read 15 pages about (or add any value to) an FAA/legal conversation about BASE rigs and aircraft in the USA, but I do think you've got a lot of misconceptions about BASE jumping.
