  1. nope, it's like you getting mad with all caucasians after I break into your house.
  2. do you celebrate Hanukkah? if you are meaning to sympathize with the Jews in Australia, it would be more appropriate to explicitly state that. This post could easily be be seen as rubbing salt in the wound.
  3. we are already in great position. I don't know anyone that loathes their caucasian race. Most feel very fortunate but desire fairness, for example with US Somali citizens. Citizens are citizens. Skin color and ancestry shouldn't matter.
  4. In 2020, the FBI considered white supremacists the most lethal domestic terroriist groups. Now they're completely off the radar. Indeed, some now work inside the trump admin. What happened? https://globalextremism.org/post/trump-abandoning-efforts-to-combat-white-supremacist/
  5. Many veterans were among the protesters at the No Kings rallies. Some fought in WW2. Yet the MAGA "patriots" belittle them over their age. It's sickening. Re Antifa, I'd wager there are more neo nazi's in the US than members of this loosely organized group yet "Justice" never seems to mention them.
  6. the illegal prescribing has almost disappeared for reasons teef and I have explained. It won''t recur unless some politician decides the monitoring programs are an invasion of privacy. That would do much more harm than boats leaving Venezuela on the open seas. I'm glad your experience with medical professionals has been good. Almost all of us are big believers in science. It's not always fast or even correct but it's the best method we've devised in the history of the world.
  7. yup. it was a travesty. and they were successfully prosecuted. many bad docs went to jail. There are definitely things I don't like about pharma. price gouging and finding ways around patent expirations are 2 of the big ones (both could be largely solved by single payer and a national formulary. but without big pharma, the bugs would have won the antibiotic wars years ago and many cancers would still have a life expectancy of less than a year. many more conditions where their research investments have paid huge dividends to humanity.
  8. I was a speaker for drug companies for products I believed in. The last few were NOAC's (novel oral anticoagulants). Pradaxa was first and was relatively slow to be used despite its obvious advantages over coumadin. I'm happy to have promoted a superior drug to the then standard of care. NOACs are now the standard of care. I never spoke or went to a program for a scheduled drug. If I was doing pain management, I'd have no problem going as long as a robust discussion was allowed. It almost always is. These programs can be very useful but there are those that aren't. These dinners are the limit that doctors can accept from pharma and that's as it should be. and you clearly don't.
  9. this is just hilarious. As a nation, we are already completely divided on political ideology. I think it's time to geographically divide. your side can have all the measels cases and all the future vaccine preventable disease. Our side can prosper further...
  10. guess which group you align with https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/lack-high-school-education-predicts-vaccine-hesitancy
  11. Yes, both. traveling internationally several times. would be stupid not to. Are you swearing off all products made by big pharmaceutical? that would be cool.
  12. What does that have to do with 2.5 million lives saved. Please, never take any big pharma products when you get sick. Die for your principles. They don't believe in evolution either and they really are examples against it. but they only hang out with similarly regressing humans. The earth is only 10,000 years old and was created in 6 days, don't you know.
  13. they're irredeemable. Natural selection in real time.
