Signal doesn’t provide anything in the message other than… “there are pending messages.” Signal wakes up, fetches them, then generates notifications on the phone itself.

That doesn’t solve the problem. You have to configure Signal to not send the information in the notification.

In general, markdown refers to CommonMark and derivatives now. I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the case here.

We know aluminum accumulates in the brain at a rate that is indistinguishable between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

In other words, we know where the aluminum is not coming from, namely, vaccines.

Although aluminum at high doses can cause a variety of clinical manifestations, the quantity of aluminum in vaccines is too small to cause a direct toxic effect. Indeed, the quantity of aluminum in biological specimens from those receiving aluminum-containing vaccines is indistinguishable from unvaccinated subjects. The concern that aluminum in vaccines might be associated with a rare autoimmune disease called macrophagic myofasciitis has been refuted by previous studies.

It's more than "not known to be from vaccines." It is known to not be from vaccines, the amount of aluminum is far too high.

> I also would like it if they did a placebo controlled study of vaccines with aluminum vs no vaccine

If this is what you meant, there are already studies covering this.

If you instead meant to say a study comparing vaccines with aluminum to the same vaccine without, there are those studies as well.

But we aren’t talking about firing one person. There are macro effects to firing people at this scale and shutting down whole departments. Not to mention the fact that it is illegal.

The trust would have to divest and reinvest everything. Otherwise it’s not blind. Simpler to just have people like that not qualify for office when they have clear conflicts of interest.

Then the programming language becomes natural language and you’ll have to be very good at describing what you want. Unless you are talking about AGI, aka, the singularity. Which is a whole other topic.

Google would maintain a kernel patch or upstream a patch if that was the right choice for a given problem.
