What is it about trees? Any time someone posts something about the problems of some plans to fight climate change on Lemmy or Reddit, someone posts a reply like yours. And every tine news about climate activists are posted, someone else posts something about that they had better planted some trees. Planting trees is a commendable effort and a great first step, but you do know that (if I understand earth’s climate history correctly) earth was covered in trees when CO2-levels were as high as today or even higher? Only by sequestrating fallen trees underground through sedimentation (and converting them to coal and later oil) did CO2-levels in the atmosphere begin to drop.

“… where scientists were able to draw DNA evidence using radiocarbon dating.” Ah! Gibberish!

Far right propaganda at its finest.

To say the Catholic church and they pope supported Nazism is a bit of a stretch.

They may not have actively supported the Nazis the whole time, but all in all I would count them as supporting, rather than opposing or being neutral. The main goal they worked for in Germany during the Third Reich was to legally secure their special institutional rights.

The Nazi Party was anti religious in ideology.

As any totalitarian thought system must see other such systems as competitors, National Socialism too saw Religions as a competittion and began working to supplant it as soon as it was entrenched enough in Germany. Before that though, Hitler took care to be especially friendly with the Catholic Church, even praising them as “the most important factor in sustaining our nations identity” in his Declaration on Governmenance in March of 1933. Even late in the war, Hitler always declared himself sent and guided by Divine Providence, without going into detail about which god or gods he was refering to.

Did Pius XII do enough, seen the circumstances of what he knew and his power? Not at all. Even the Catholic network get used for protecting nazi wat criminals.

Agreed. And he and his Church never got punished for that.

But there was at least some verbal resistance, …

By the Catholic Church as a whole mainly from 1930 until the NSDAP was given power and Hitler showed himself to be friendly to the Catholic Church and again after the German Government failed to honor parts of the “Reichskonkordat” (a contract that assured the Church many of its institutional rights and which richly compensated it for anything it did loose and which is still in force today) but evern then only in the form of one Encyclica by the Pope mostly denouncing the loss of adherence to Catholic/Christian Dogma in Germany and only in one part denouncing the Nazi Race Theory. Aside from that, there was only resistance by singular priests.

… which was braver back then, as the pope actually lived in occupied territory

… from September 1943 until April 1945. At which time and with their already overstreched ressources no “sane” German commander would have dared attacking the Pope directly and risking public uprisings in most European (occupied and unoccupied) countries.

1. Is this (world) news?
2. Where does your friend get their news? It has been reported on by multiple large US news outlets.
3. Is it also “everywhere in Russia” that China has been releasing Tritium into the sea for years, as has South Korea?
4. Is it also “everywhere in Russia” that it seems that a Rosatom subsidiary from. St. Petersburg, called Atomproekt (?) was involved in developing the filtering process for Fukushima Daiichi’s release of contaminated waste water?

I must confess that I did not read the abstract of the new paper but the paper from last year said (IIRC) that the antibody in question attaches to a structure in Coronaviruses that, should it mutate to change it so that the antibody was no longer effective, the experts were qiite sure that as a result, the virus would no longer be infectous to humans.

The same news got posted to reddit over a year ago(https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/pd5v8r/antibody_found_that_neutralizes_all_known_strains/) and someone commented something similar to your comment. Because I am lazy, I am simply quoting, whatI wrote back then:

That is not how vaccinations work! If it did, fighting viruses would be far easier.

If you inject a load of mRNA that forces your cells to produce this antibody, you are basically doing the same as if you only inject the antibody itself. Itcan fight off a covid infection for as long as this one “wave” of antibodies is active in your body.

What you need is an mRNA-sequence that forces your cells to produce something or a part of the original virus that makes your immune system react in such a way that it will produce this specific antibody on its own and “remeber the blueprint”. Then you have an immunity.

If they can find out what part of the SAARS-virus led to this immune reaction in the original patient and this proves to be reproducible and safe in other patients, then we would have a vaccination.

The antibody itself is a great hope as a treatment for already infected patients and maybe even as a short time prevention for infection.
