The H1N1 vaccine death toll

While everybody declares the benefits of the H1N1 vaccine, nobody, to my knowledge, knows the number of the victims due to the H1N1 vaccine. Possibly media know that people are not interested in this number, possibly the number is close to zero, possibly somebody pays the media to shut up.

My colleagues are fervent believers of the H1N1 vaccine. They clearly told me they would for sure give it to their children and they will get it as soon as it is available, thus to avoid high fevers and their side effects and to reduce the possibility that elderly people get sick.

When I told them: but what about that German guy who died soon after vaccination? What about the co adjuvant reactions, the Gulf syndrome, the squalene side effects? And what about the 30,000 Americans expected to have seriuos and lethal consequences after taking the vaccine? And what about the fact that FDA consider the vaccine successful when less than 3 on 10 get positive effects?

My colleagues reply me that people die, and by chance people die also after the vaccine. Sadly, we have no negative control to show the opposite. They also told me that there is no reason to not trust the vaccine, as governments are taking the responsibility for it (…)

Probably I am the only unfaithful together with Ewa Kopacz and some million Polish citizens.

So, does anybody know the number of deaths soon after H1N1 treatment? I think it should be good to know how many HEALTHY people are dying for the H1N1 vaccine. We should compare this number with the many SICK people dead for the complication of their sickness AND for H1N1. Why do SICK people dead after vaccination are considered dead because of their sickness, instead?

My dear friend, help a worshiper of doubting surrounded by confident people

My dear friend,
I write you a letter which is meant to be to myself. I chose this trick as I never met before you somebody who could help me understanding myself so good.

Absolutely speaking we did not spend so much time together. Qualitatively thinking, it was among the best time in my life. I do not write about myself today. We know each other a little bit, even though we do not meet so often. Today I write you about the world around me, the world that actively shapes me and the world that I rarely accept. I do not write about the world that I influence, because this is the only part of the world I feel confident about, and that’s a huge bless already.

I write you because I do not understand a very important thing in this world, and I hope you will help me in understanding it. To make the story short, I suppose the world I know composed by two different kinds of people: the people sure about their ideas, the sure people, and the people in doubt. There is a third kind, and you belong to them: the people sure about their doubts. This level of wisdom I did not reach, yet, , as you will realize by reading along.

I leave you, productive society …

I leave you, productive society

Another dreamer gives up
I leave you to live
I leave you to love
I leave you because I love the night
and I do not care the morning having gold in its mouth

I leave you for the light of the candles in the night
I leave you for the satisfaction of the music played
when everybody sleeps planning its future tomorrow

I leave you, productive society
because I surely realized you deny life
you deny dreams
you deny

I leave you to those poor men
believing in success
and power
and command
as being witness of a God who doesn’t exist.

Being my God told to say: live like a bird
And so I will.

Feelings useless just over 30, or, looking for a job being over 30

Who knows me, knows how much time did I invest in my job in the last years. No evenings at home, no week ends, and this year no holidays, too. The projects I am involved in, or my low intelligence level, required so. Almost three months ago I sent my project for revision to my supreme leader. He possibly changed his priorities towards my project, or he never had any, as his necessary revision is not yet on the table. I start to doubt if I will ever get some revision. No revision, no result, time wasted. Nice prospective.

So, I find myself having a lot of boring time to fill up. Writing application letters for new jobs makes this time even worst, as I got no positive answer yet after many (and I mean MANY) CVs sent around the world.

It is terrible to be just above 30 and to feel completely useless for my own and society development. I really envy the previous generation of workers, sitting in the same company for all their life. I know blaming old choices or crying on myself will possibly not solve any problem – but for time to time I need it – before it is too late.

Attenzione: alcuni Italiani possono provocare forti attacchi di nausea

Oggi c’e’ una bella collezione di gens italica che induce a forte malessere sul Corriere della Sera. Tutti assieme: per caso, o perche’ il loro numero  e’ ormai cresciuto eccessivamente? Scorrendo la pagina web dall’alto al basso:

Corona “sfrecciava a 220 chilometri orari alla guida di una fiammante Lamborghini ‘Gallardo’. Era senza patente, ritiratagli in Italia. Il fotografo è incappato in una pattuglia all’altezza del ponte-diga di Melide dove il limite massimo è di 80 chilometri”

Minzolini “L’onda di Tangentopoli e la stagione di Mani Pulite hanno cancellato l’immunità dalla Costituzione”

Giovanardi “Cucchi drogato, è morto perché anoressico”

Santanchè “Maometto era poligamo e pedofilo. Una moglie aveva 9 anni”

Bleuuuuurgh … troppi in una volta, non ce l’ho fatta a trattenermi.

Quando noi si andava a vedere Vasco in concerto …

…a Imola nel 1998, al massimo gli cadeva il microfono. L’eta’ avanza per tutti povero Vasco …

Work equals frustration. Physicists mathematically demonstrated it!

This evening, while eating a pizza with tartufo at the pizzeria, I got this astonishing enlightenment. Let me quickly explain the following equations and the truth about the real essence of “work”!

Phi(W)=frustration at work; t=time; a=duration of your job contract in years; W(t)=work; sigma(t)=satisfaction

alpha(n)=achievement; n=number of achievements

F=force; d=displacement

From these 3 easy equations, two expected conclusions and one amazing and revolutionary postulate are obtained:

If (n) of achievements equals to zero, or if time t tends to infinite, frustration Phi(w) goes infinite. More unexpected, if the force F applied to work W is zero, frustration is zero! The postulate is: do not work and live happily!

About religions and bacteria: democracy should be better applied in Europe.

Politically speaking, Europe believes in democracy. Elections are the tool used to decide who the majority wants. The minority loses its right to be represented, but it is not wiped out of the planet face. For sure, the minority has less power in taking decisions affecting the entire population. I do not understand why this democratic principle cannot be applied to religion. If the majority in a country is Catholic, what is the meaning to remove Christian religious symbols from public places? On the contrary, there is place even for other symbols.

There can be integration and sharing of common goals only by respect of different tradition and cultures – not by making tabula rasa of all of them. It is like when a house floor gets cleaned with anti-bacterial agents: as soon as it is perfectly cleaned, the strongest bacteria, resistant to the agent, will take the entire place over. Let’s wipe out Christianity from European public places: some stronger religion will come in. And we will have no agents to get rid of it. Atheists, who constantly fight against something they don’t believe in (!) are still the minority, or am I wrong?

Weesen – Walenstadt: from dawn ’til dusk on the Walensee

What a nice daily hiking today on the north side of the Walensee. 12 brave men and women who managed to wake up before the sunrise, 12 hours of tough and beautiful paths through colorful autumn forests. No cold, no fatigue, no wine could stop them! I love it when a plan comes together.
