BTW are people still espousing the theory that C19 is really caused by 5G cell masts, not the virus? I remember people adamantly making that claim in the early days of the pandemic. Some rogue M.D. even wrote a book to that effect. And I remember Dr.(perhaps now former Dr.) Kelly Brogan, an anti-vaccine leader from way back, insisting illness (not just C19, but illness in general) was not spread by "germs." Or have we moved on?

Right, in a capitalist society you would expect private companies to have the most expertise. Is it a perfect system, of course not, and the recent approval of an Alzheimer drug that seemed to perform poorly in clinical trials did raise questions. But what's the alternative? If everyone with a potential conflict recused him or herself you might never have a good panel.

Chairman and CEO of Pfizer received 4 doses and caught covid anyways.
You couldn't make this shit up if you tried. Now, like a good CEO is supposed to do, he is now peddling Paxlovid. When are people going to wake up? https://twitter.com/AlbertBourla/sta...45992594784256

Second, there seems little question that the vaccine was hugely effective against the wild virus and Delta in preventing deaths and serious hospitalizations. Not 100 percent of course, but powerful, a very powerful weapon with not a lot of (but as always some) risk. People who don't at least acknowledge this are playing ostrich I believe and or are too jaded and radicalized to be objective. And yes, I use that word intentionally, sorry to say. Finally, personally, I am less convinced the boosters have much of an additive effect against omicron. Just my impression from study and glad to be persuaded otherwise. Perhaps the next generation will have more impact. As most here, but not all, understand, this is a complex nuanced and evolving subject. It isn't really conducive to cute little memes and soundbites and conspiracy theories or for that matter blind faith in the government.

By way of example, my wife is a lawyer at a state regulatory agency and a few years back was the head of the division that had oversight of the industry I worked in and, consequently, the company I worked for. A company that had granted me stock-based compensation. Her actions could have an impact on my employer's stock price and, therefore, our finances. Clearly, this is a situation where she could have an ulterior motive to not take action in order to improve our marital balance sheet, so to speak. But, Grady and Fauci are both employees of the federal government and are both engaged in working to improve public health. The fact that they may be knocking boots doesn't change that and I am struggling to see how the fact that they are married would lead to a situation where one of them could take action contrary to their employers mission in order to benefit the other. Can you explain? |

The Great Barrington Declaration said it would be the dumbest thing to vax everyone with a leaky vaccine during a pandemic. Just do the elderly and those at high risk and let natural immunity take care of the rest. They were correct of course and that has been finally acknowledged.
Their goalposts never changed. Look at the amount of medical professionals who agree. Are they all conspiracy theorists too? https://gbdeclaration.org/ I guess, like the old saying goes, "It is easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled" still holds true today. https://youtu.be/8i1Ap61NNco https://youtu.be/rx9nXeEjsMI

While the authors' website claims that over 14,000 scientists, 40,000 medical practitioners, and more than 800,000 members of the public signed the declaration, this list—which anyone could sign online and which required merely clicking a checkbox to claim the status of "scientist"—contains some evidently-fake names, including: "Mr Banana Rama", "Harold Shipman", and "Prof Cominic Dummings". More than 100 psychotherapists, numerous homeopaths, physiotherapists, massage therapists, and other non-relevant people were found to be signatories, including a performer of Khoomei—a Mongolian style of overtone singing—described as a "therapeutic sound practitioner". The Independent noted that the false signatures put its claims about the breadth of its support in doubt. In response, Bhattacharya said that they "do not have the resources to audit each signature," and expressed regret for the fact that people had "abused our trust" by adding fake names, but reiterated his belief in broad support for its message based on the volume of correspondence he said he received.

Yeah, I’m great! Because I know that in between the 35 minutes I made my post with 5 news article links, you already responded. Thus, it’s likely you barely read any of the links I posted, if any, before responding. On top of that, you didn’t address what I said in response to your initial comment that included this, "Are they all conspiracy theorists too?"
Oh! And there is the “evil MSM” comment I expected. Answer a question for me. When was the last time you had an original thought? “Original” meaning, not posting another person’s random thought from TikTok or Twitter? Last edited by BCauley; 08-18-2022 at 05:01 AM. |

Two sources of information I think are good and often very detailed and analytical and not government or media.
John Skylar, Ph.D. (virologist) on substack. https://viraltransmissions.substack.com/about The physician/scientists on www.sciencebasedmedicine.org, particularly David Gorski who can be abrasive but is superb at distilling complex ideas and data. The other writers are to me more uneven but at times quite good. Carry on.

1 million died of corona
i know there is issues of what the real cause of death on covid deaths.
however whatever method they have been using, interesting that its over a million now in the US and i dont see any counter on TV or mention of it..but when it was at 400k or 600k or whatever was big news..and blame was being thrown around maybe i missed it somewhere but i dont remember any news event for the round number of 1 million..... i know there would be a 1 day article or a passing reference for the occasion but the lead up and aftermath for the 400k to 500k..was weeks if not months of talk...

Deaths in 2021 topped deaths in 2020 despite over 50% of the US being "vaxxed" by October. 2020 Deaths: 352-385k (depending on source, which not sure how that's possible) 2021 Deaths as of 11/22/2021: 386k Total Deaths as of 8/18/2022: 1.04M (269k for 2022 so far if my math is correct) So 2022 has seen 70% of the deaths of that 11/22/2021 numbers, with 3 months left to get even closer to the numbers above, despite nearly 70-80%(?) of society being vaxxed (ranging from 1 jab to fully jabbed)? Oh and by the way, the remaining 3 months are some of the nation's sickest months with kids going back to school and fall/early winter arriving. Let's not forget the CDC just changed its guidelines...

Yes, screaming people on television is the worst. In fact screaming people in general are hard to be around.
Whenever someone quotes KMay everything he writes comes across as screaming to me. Fortunately, with the ignore feature, I have been able to turn him off, just like I turn off Stephen A. Smith, or Sean Hannity, or Joy Behar, or Nancy Grace, or any other number of screamers. |
