I had someone telling me it was a mind-control chemical they were spraying to pacify the people once. That's about the closest I've ever come to talking to anyone that took this theory seriously.

BCG isn't nearly as protective as modern vaccines aim to be. The GSK vaccine in question in the article and similar ones in development in other research groups are aiming to improve protection over BCG.

It's insane how common latent TB is on a global scale and it's quite a challenging problem to solve from a technical standpoint.

Definitely not giving up, was just making a bit of a bait-and-switch joke about how so many people feel like they give up their "freedom" by giving up their cars.

In reality I take my bike with me everywhere and love it when public transport is accommodating to this.

Nah, I'd rather not give up my personal vehicle. Frankly, biking is so much better than all the alternatives when possible.

Living rent-free in your mind. Kudos on your dedication to your community, but your time may be better spent on a different hobby. Maybe try reading "tankie" theory?

Look, the commentor knows how to Google, but not well.

Every media source is biased, some are just open about their biases while others like to hide theirs. Take the time to read with a critical eye instead of dismissing the source because some website told you they couldn't be trusted.

There are plenty of examples of mainstream, Western sources publishing absolute garbage, they just have better optics.

Better yet, try to do it without using the letters U-L-T-R-A.
