You dont understand the first thing you are talking about. The influenza virus arrives in the cell in 8 segments and is reassembled by the cell. This is called segmented. If you are sick with the flu, and then catch a second flu, thats where the mutations occur. Your cell can take 3 pieces of one influenza virus, assemble it with 5 pieces from another, and abracadabra, you got a new mutation! Thats why the flu mutates every year into something we basically have very little protection against. In someone's body somewhere, right now, a new strain is currently being assembled. How deadly it is and how long it survives in the wild determines how bad that strain it. The influenza viruses in the wild currently being spread are examined to predict the new code that will (most likely) pop up next year. Thats why sometimes the flu vaccine is a total miss. Its a statistical analysis, where they basically all bet in the end on which flavor to make. It is a real gamble with real money.
I don't agree with you here, but the end result is the same. Most mutations are because it is RNA based and RNA doesn't have all the checks and balances that DNA has, so you end up with a lot more variants. This is why small Pox, DNA, has had one variant in the last 30,000 years and a flu, RNA, can have many in a year. Also, people don't typically get infected with multiple virus at the same time. Once one virus takes hold it is much harder for another to do the same since the body is already in full immune swing and viruses tend to compete. This is one of the reasons the flu kind of disappeared last year.

German Gas Station Attendant Murdered
The voracity with which you defend you position against masks, in turn allows this man to believe the entire time he was doing something right.

Masks are kind of a non-issue for me. I think they're kind of silly because 95% of them don't protect anyone, but I don't get angry over them so much (though they do make it harder to breathe, and they're hot).
Now, forced 'vaccines', on the other hand, well...those do make me angry. Especially forced experimental vaccines.
Then, we are mostly on the same page!

I do talk to real people in the real world and try to work on non violent solution to issues but honestly in my area it doesn't come up all too much.
I come here to ATS because this community is one I RESPECT and I'm not going to lie and pander, this is how I feel this is my experience which is valid and I want to share because I know this community is many discerning people's of all types and kinds.
This discussion right here is a way I want to help prevent , "the Nutters" from seeing violence as an option.
If people are killing folk for not wearing a mask please bring it up for discussion, comments are one thing and actions are another. I see this man murdering another as a step in a direction that some people out there WANT, I am not one of them and I want others to be aware that those types exist and are not always honest with others or even themselves.

We have had shooters on our very forums here before. So don't think that our community is immune, nothing happens in a vacuum. Plenty of us make more or less empty threats, about all sorts of topics, but only some act on that, but do we know if our eloquent rhetoric here influenced them out there, we may never know but there is a chance without a doubt.
The idea of fake news has been around a long time and what is it's goal you may wonder...it's to keep us plebs at each other's throats whilst the political parties do just that..PARTY.
If you think this man came up with all this anger all on his own and had no influences from outside his mind telling him that these masks are evil and taking away your rights, that's almost categorically impossible as it is all over the news in every way possible.
Free speech is just that it's free, but some of us would like you to understand that words can change people's minds and if that's your goal then guess what this guy is on your side. So take responsibility for him because you're the ones drawing the line in the sand. The side of masks and vaccines that's the land of science drew the line for us and we adapt, not because we want to but because we HAVE TO.

So mask people should be oppressed, glad to know ATS is just going fascist, like it never was this way before (pre 2012ish). I dunno I just get upset cuz this place was a big deal for me in my formative years and now it's mostly just kinda scary how quickly oppressive sentiment arrived and stuck around.

Every single news report posted here anymore should be required to be prefaced by "allegedly"
Everyone paying attention knows reality is trying to be written by the news.
I want to know if people here are willing to kill over a mask
