Has Germany really moved on from it's Nazi Past?

[rogue06]

Looks like racism in Germany is bad enough to force a candidate running on the Green Party ticket for a seat in the Parliament to withdraw due to all the death threats: Germany Grapples With Racism After Threats Derail Refugee's Candidacy For Parliament. According to the German Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency's (ADS) 2019 Report incidents of reported racism are up 10% over the previous year and have doubled since 2015. And last year, complaints shot up 78%.

And a number of incidents since reunification does not paint a pretty picture not to mention the incident where an entire German platoon was disciplined during a NATO mission in Lithuania this Summer for several acts of racist and anti-Semitic behavior, including singing a birthday song in honor of Hitler. And shortly after the German cycling federation sports director Patrick Moster was sent home from the Olympics and later fired for very loudly referring to riders from the African nations of Algeria and Eritrea as "camel jockeys." If he felt comfortable shouting out such slurs one can presume it was language he frequently employed.

The medical community and science work in partnership.

So, now you're an expert on the medical community and science! Pease define "the medical community". Precisely.

So you here admit that natural immunity is indeed better against Delta than the vaccine.

This is one of dozens of studies showing the same thing, hun. I get that you can't handle being wrong, but good grief.

No. Their research suggests it remains unclear.

It does not follow that vaccination immunity does not confer long term protection. Furthermore, that observation is made in an [as yet] unpublished paper that has not been peer reviewed. And the authors also note that their "study has several limitations" and also that "First, as the Delta variant was the dominant strain in Israel during the outcome period, the decreased long-term protection of the vaccine compared to that afforded by previous infection cannot be ascertained against other strains."

In short their research needs to be duplicated in far larger studies that will include those who have been exposed to other strains to ascertain if their contentions are borne out.

However, it is clear that, in this instance as yet unpublished research, that suggests your own prior beliefs and opinions are correct will be taken by you as vindication for your beliefs and opinions.. That is confirmation bias.

So, is this the DE-Godwinization of a thread?
