UPDATE 2025 - The Trump economy
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
https://thehill.com/business/economy/5619735-treasury-secretary-bessent-tariffs/ But we're cutting tariffs on coffee, beef , fruits etc to make them more affordable. btw, how long do you imagine that stick goes up his a$$? -
ah, words! Burn''s relies on research and findings of prominent academics. He's not concocting these stories himself. He's collating their findings and presenting them. I suppose your rebuttal will be that academics are biased. They need to defend their findings against colleagues and the largely ignorant public. People who wouldn't consider watching this documentary, for instance.. If they couldn't defend, their writings would have to be retracted.

You maga thugs make stretching conclusions on flimsy evidence when it supports your narrative but you can't connect the dots here. Read what this Fox report had to say including the opinion of a former palm beach county state attorney. You don't find it at all suspicious that she was moved a week after being interviewed by Todd Blanche when she tried to exonerate trump? Be honest for once. https://www.foxnews.com/us/jeffrey-epstein-accomplice-ghislaine-maxwell-moved-new-prison-amid-fight-over-answers-immunity "The decision on whether someone gets moved to a better facility is generally made by the Bureau of Prisons, and there's a procedure to follow," Aronberg said. "It's hard to imagine that the lengthy interview that Maxwell had with the number two official at the Department of Justice had nothing to do with the transfer. It almost certainly did." The meeting came just days after the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena asking Maxwell to testify in front of lawmakers regarding Epstein’s crimes. Maxwell’s legal team has since asserted she would consider testifying if granted immunity – a demand the panel swiftly rejected.

It's great series as is most of Burn's stuff. The Civil War was his best but this is right up there. If you ever questioned slavery as the cause for that war, watch it. Also the letters from president to Generals to foot soldiers that are read are eloquent and profound. This one convincingly explains how a group of colonists put it all the line for freedom.

President Trump's 2nd Term.
Joe Ferguson forever replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
And people who didn’t cheer either of those are upset as well. To wit, recent approval polls. if by the midterms, maga candidates see him hurting more than helping their campaign, they’ll abandon him. -

this is discussing the same study I just reviewed with the same limitations. this comment is telling Professor Sir Nick White, Director of NDM's Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit (MORU) in Bangkok and COPCOV study co-Principal Investigator, said: 'No drug excited as much controversy during the COVID-19 pandemic as hydroxychloroquine. It was both widely recommended and widely reviled as a preventive without enough scientific evidence for either position. While trials in hospitals showed subsequently that hydroxychloroquine was not effective in severely ill patients, its role in prevention remained uncertain, and the toxic atmosphere compromised the studies needed to find out whether it worked or not.' The severely ill are the important cohort. prevention was best achieved (orders of magnitude better than HCQ even with the most optimistic interpretation of this study) with the vaccines. I don't remember "doc" being a proponent and there are still magas here that disparage them.

I have other theories. I told him it was illegal to impersonate a doc and give medical advice, he was a sock puppet account of which there are likely several here or he just got tired of being embarrassed. huh? It's all there in the study. You're trained to evaluate studies, right Dr Molecular biologist?

lots to unpack here. A cursory review showed that the study looked at healthy patients, mortality was not an endpoint (it appears none of the study subjects died), and the sample size of positive covid tests in the population studied was extremely small (20 - 40) in arms of less than 5000 subject. They considered chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine equal. They don't cite studies to support this contention. Re sample size, the authors openly admit it was a significant limitation to the studies conclusions. Why they chose to exclude the most vulnerable and most likely to die, I have no idea. That would seem to me , the most important group to study. in the discussion, the authors made this statement: In summary, this large double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial showed that hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine prophylaxis was safe and well tolerated, and combined with data from other similar trials provided some evidence that laboratory-confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 might be reduced. The fact that it's still not approved for prophylaxis or treatment of Covid in the US, suggests that public health officials (even in the trump run CDC and FDA) did not find this study convincing. but thanks for the citation.
