  • if you have to tell people that you’re enlightened, you ain’t

    also why have you picked vaccines in particular. maybe you wanted to express something else more clearly? there’s no money in vaccines to such degree that western pharma companies don’t want to research them, and bulk of (non-mRNA) vaccines are made in Serum Institute of India, they make this stuff for half of the world if not more. this thing is cheeaap, and because it’s a preventive one and done you can take it on your own terms, you’re not under time pressure to get it so you can shop around to get it cheaply. you can’t nickel and dime people on vaccines

    now if you do want to nickel and dime a patient, you’d need something that they’re gonna need forever and jack up prices or just keep them high from day one, like with antiretrovirals or what purdue pharma did or like with daraprim. and then there’s entirely another very american problem of insurance leech layer. taking a very charitable look at it maybe you want to say a thing about availability of american healthcare in general, less charitably, and more likely, you sound like a libertarian antivaxxer






  • Mate do i have just the right thing for you, but it requires some soldering. It’s also probably cheapest solution working over longer range than you need

    First you need two directional antennas. Use this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html the 13cm design specifically. Design of the dipole element is on another page https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/sbfa.html They’re using hard to get semirigid coax but you can really just use common RG178 with braid tinned to make it stiff. This way you don’t have to leave D section they way they did, you can just solder core to the shield at the end while preserving total length (or ~1-2 mm less, because wifi is slightly higher frequency; 53-52 mm total). That dummy cable thing can be just any stiff piece of wire. Good way to get this would be getting a pack of u.fl-SMA pigtails, which you can also use for connection.

    You also don’t need special aluminum housing like they do, cookie tin of the right size would be sufficient, or any other container of similar nature. If you can’t weatherproof it, putting it inside on windowsill is also fine

    Then, plug TL-WN722N into it, or some other single-antenna thing, and you’re set. This one connects over USB and has removable RPSMA antenna, so you can connect it easily with correct cable (SMA plug - RPSMA plug)

    to your new directional antenna. This thing works well over 200m distance, provided clear line of sight, and probably more than that
