Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed

    Bullshit. You don’t get a new kidney and get to keep on drinking.

      No, he’s right. They SHOULD be allowed full decision over the treatments they want to get.

      However, those decisions should not be free from the rules we as a society have put in place.

      Us banning COVID vaccine deniers this treatment could be a good compromise. They freely get to decide, and they also suffer the consequences of that decision. Win/Win.

        this is honestly why I thought vaccine cards to sit at restaurants, attend concerts… These are good ideas.

          We do this in Australia for kindergarten, if your kids aren’t vaccinated you don’t get the childcare subsidy.

          For reference, the subsidy can be the difference between paying $200 a week and $1200 a week.

          Right. I don’t care if COViD deniers chose not to get a vaccine. I care that they endanger people who want or need to be more careful. Let them make the choice, as long as the rest of us can choose not to be exposed to them

            So people with autoimmune deficiency can choose to just hide indoors or die, because selfish pond scum spend too much time on Facebook?

            Nah, that’s the wrong way around. Meet the basic expectations of society or accept you will be excluded from it.

              Literally me. I’ve been locked inside since 2020 because I had a double lung transplant and COVID will most likely cause my lungs to reject, and I die.

              Assholes refusing to put a damn n95 mask on has pretty much thrown my life away. My transplanted lungs wont last forever. My final years are locked indoors because a fucking mask is political.

      Yeah, because kidneys are a rare and valuable thing what drinking would prevent from working

      That makes zero sense for your petty ass sense of vengeance by denying people easily manufactured treatments because they turned down a vaccine you think they should have gotten.

        That most of society thinks they should have gotten. That results in other people dying if they don’t get it.

        GTFO of here acting like your right to a fist doesn’t end where my nose begins.

              Thank you for proving my point.

              To be clear, societies exist regardless of the existence of states. The fact that states are trying to control societies and communities doesn’t make any state “The Society”… Society is people.

      Do you mean liver? That’s the organ alcohol primarily harms. Kidneys are somewhat secondary.
