From what I read that actually wasn't true , at least not for the 'you wouldn't steal a car' (or more officially: 'Piracy. It's a crime.') clip.

I'm one of the people who had an adverse reaction to the COVID vaccine and boosters, a mild allergic reaction resulting in shortness of breath. Sucked to have to spend an extra hour or so at the vaccine centre each time to be monitored, but a small price to pay. My father-in-law unfortunately did develop pericarditis, which was a known side-effect of the vaccine he received. He's doing better these days, but it took over a year to clear up.

But despite that, I'd still recommend getting those shots. Apart from these side-effects being rare, I've seen how Long-COVID fucked up two of my friends. Both in their 20's, healthy, worked out very regularly and in peak condition. COVID completely wrecked them, one catched it before the vaccine became available and the other now regrets his decision to put his trust in the crap floating around social media. Hard lesson to learn.

Personally I came down with COVID at some point and it made Influenza feel like the common cold. I don't think I've ever felt worse in my entire life and I shudder at the thought of how it might have ended had I skipped the jabs.

Joselyn doesn’t want to get her children vaccinated despite the outbreak because she claims to know people who’ve had adverse reactions

Because 'death' totally isn't one of the possible adverse reactions from measles. Oh wait..

I'm sorry you feel that way. Have a nice day buddy!

Personally I've tried, amongst others, transcendental meditation and a form of movement meditation, combined with yoga. Both did absolutely nothing for my day-to-day focus. The only thing which actually did something for my concentration (unfortunately) was medication.

You come across quite hostile, but so far your argument isn't backed up by any scientific evidence, it's just 'meditation is meant to help concentration, so it also should help ADHD'. That's a gross oversimplification of a very complex neurological process.

It's great that you are trying to help, but from your comments I get the feeling that you have trouble accepting that meditation just isn't a solution or useful tool for all of us.

Please have a more open mind towards the people who are trying to tell you that meditation doesn't work for them. We are all built differently, what works for one doesn't necessarily works for another.

Thanks, I hadn't come across the term, TIL.

Vibe.. what now? Is that like coding in all caps when you're pissed off or in a bastardised flavour of "CaMel CaSe" for those moments you want some spice things up with some sarcasm?
