He sounds like a man giving his own eulogy.

Wonder if he knows something about his immediate future, we don't?

They're worried that the instability caused by the protests may provide an opportunity for a state-player to launch a surprise attack.

There's even one strange story of a man who claimed he was a snake in a previous life and remembered fighting with the man who actually killed him.

Whilst this is an outlier, it may suggest that genetics aren't a decisive factor in the matter.

Probably not.

There were a slew of reincarnations of Japanese soldiers who died in Burma during WWII (Myanmar) and they came back as Burmese people, suggesting geography has something to so with the matter.

It's one of the most credible cases of reincarnation, as the kids who were reincarnated hated Burmese food and begged to go back to Japan.

It's also credible because there was nothing to be gained by these children, or families pretending to be Japanese.

The Japanese were hated in Burma, so much so that one of these poor reincarnated children was burned alive.

So whilst genetic changes might have an effect, I think it will be more on how the body shapes the soul in life, rather than on the process of reincarnation itself.

I honestly would have said "I'm not worried about the virus at all and the vaccine doesn't stop transmission, so there's no point in me taking it. I'm also concerned that they rushed through stage 3 trials, so I'm not keen on taking it at the moment.'

That's a rational and reasonable response, which doesn't rely anything on conspiracy.

Trump is a fucking snake who called patriots to DC, led them on a march to the Capitol then threw them to the wolves when they took action.

There is no insult low enough for such a person.
