I always thought the word "smith" was inextricably connected with metalwork, but it comes from the Proto-Germanic word smiþaz, meaning a craftsman or skilled worker.
So "wordsmith" might not be so figurative after all.
Just think of all the variants we're missing out on: yarnsmiths, numbersmiths, codesmiths, plantsmiths, claysmiths, clothesmiths...

Herd Immunity is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard in my life.

Guess what, I've got a cure for cancer, 50$ each, and if it doesn't work, it's because Not Enough People Took It.
Imagine being an adult and believing this unfalsifiable tinker-bell nonsense: "It absolutely works, but only if everyone believes it."
Even goddamn "crystal healers" wouldn't be shameless enough to pull that line.
And the worst part of it all is, I actually think there are SOME vaccines which are at least somewhat effective, but if they insist on replacing scientific pursuit with Expert Consensus Soy-Orthodoxy then I'm gonna have to call bullshit on the entire industry.
After all, if their brains are so rotten that they think this is good science, they've probably gotten to the point where they're just mixing random chemicals together anyway.
@bonifartius this must drive the ordered mind of a German bonkers.
be germany:
> oh no our finances are fucked, we don't have money for our old people!

complete insanity.
