Joe Ferguson forever

even their friends and family dying doesn't change their minds. I saw it several times in the pandemic: Systematic irrationality. Now that is a mental disorder we should work on curing. We know we can find the afflicted at trump events....

the whole world is out to get you. it's a giant conspiracy. but trump cares about you...nope, he doesn't. nor does the whole world want to get you. no one x your friends and family care (and if you're lucky and smart, your health care providers). true for all of us... and another fake MD- Simon Goddek (@goddeketal) Instagram https://www.instagram.com › goddeketal PhD.

I am and still board certified.

Guess that we didn’t interpret the polling data the same way. What was your interpretation? do you not recognize that the so called culture war is actually a class war? I didn’t start nor do I like it nor do other similar thinkers. Yet that’s where we are …

I imagine someone gave him incorrect info or that he misunderstood what he had been briefed on. Do you believe any expert told trump it would be over by Easter? or that commenting on lysol was helpful?

my desk is now a golf cart when my back allows. No nameplate altho I have an off road one at home that I might put one on. People understood trump to say that. There were poisonings.

and you are clearly one of the dimmest

2 things. 1. Biden was incorrect or misspoke 2.trump told people to use lysol, conspicuously ignored CDC and FDA recs multiple times and called for the pandemic to be over a few months after it started Who was more wrong? btw, all statements and recs during covid must be looked at thru the lens of the data , science and understanding at the time. you can't use new science retroactively.

That was your take away from the polling? Mine was: Republican party is getting trumpier meaning poorer and less educated especially among those who will likely elect a mobster in the primary to run for president...my hope is that more educated and affluent R's will leave the party...

prove me wrong. Show me the data. These aren't internet studies. They're done by some of the best minds in the world and carefully scrutinized. But MAGA's know better because ...well, they just do and they have family members who got covid. NO ONE said the vax was 100% effective and that its effectiveness would stay constant after the virus mutated several times.. And hopefully none of the vaxed acquaintances died- cuz that's the most important endpoint. you guys are really dim...

What price do you think each would bring? Bad taste? Yes, so is asserting that slavery was useful to slaves...

you misquoted me and then argued against it....I know trump says there are alternative facts but there aren't. Even when his FDA director Hahn misinterpreted a study's results by a factor of 10 and presented it on TV as fact. Sometimes, it's an honest mistake and sometimes it's not...We all make mistakes. Frequency and severity are important. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/936611 Yes, and occasion ally patients have asymptomatic syphillis but most don't. So what? you might want to get tested for neurosyphilis.

"link(s)? I've not seen this definitively stated by anyone but the fools here. Almost nothing about Covid was settled science when it was raging. And much still isn't." this is what you quoted me as saying 2 hours ago: There is no definitive data that people still get infected and transmit the virus after vaccination. See the difference? You must resort to intellectual dishonesty to compete....

you wanna date my first quote. at the time there wasn't. Science is not static...

Risking some thumbs down but give it a try. Cool bass line, great harmonies and funky in its own way

Dude, that could happen to 1000's of families and not disrupt the overwhelming population data to the contrary

"The vaccine stops covid dead in its tracks. Those that have partaken cannot get infected nor transmit." Now that's just sadly dishonest. and it's called....wait for it...what's that fallacy called again?

breakthrough infection is not equal to "the vaccine neither prevents infection nor transmission". Not even remotely. Try harder. This is embarrassing.

We, in the collective sense of scientists and clinicians, read it and overwhelmingly rejected it, noting it was funded by a libertarian extremist think tank and the science was at best, dubious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Barrington_Declaration The declaration was sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER), a libertarian free market think tank based in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.[39][40] AIER has published controversial studies with dubious conclusions, such as downplaying the risks of climate change,[15][41] and arguing that sweatshops are beneficial to their workers.[42][43] Byline Times journalist Nafeez Ahmed has described the AIER as an "institution embedded in a Koch-funded network that denies climate science while investing in polluting fossil fuel industries".[15] Signatories 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,[44][45] 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".[46][47][48] 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".[47] An article in The Independent reported that the false signatures put claims about the breadth of support in doubt.[48] Bhattacharya responded by saying that the authors "did not have the resources to audit each signature," and that people had "abused our trust" by adding fake names.[48]

The R party is becoming grumpier and less educated https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/31/us/politics/2024-poll-nyt-siena-trump-republicans.html Increasingly on the trail, Mr. DeSantis is calling attention to his “blue-collar” roots and his decision to serve in the military as reasons voters should support him as he runs against a self-professed billionaire. But the poll showed Mr. Trump lapping Mr. DeSantis among likely Republican primary voters earning less than $50,000, 65 percent to 9 percent. As of now, Mr. DeSantis’s few demographic refuges — places where he is losing by smaller margins — are more upscale pockets of the electorate. He trailed Mr. Trump by a less daunting 12 points among white voters with college degrees, 37 to 25 percent. Among those earning more than $100,000, Mr. DeSantis was behind by 23 points, half the deficit he faced among the lowest earners. 37% of college educated R's support trump in this poll....

Rarely settled. I stand by that quote. I'm not the one on this board rthat pushed unproven treatments based on limited, poorly done studies. In fact, I said just the opposite...

Have you read the package insert for the vaxes? No actual expert ever claimed 100% effectiveness and recs were very similar to what you said. remember when the vax was in short supply. The groups you mentioned and health care workers were the only ones who could get the vax. good. so they know science when it bites them in the ass...they should school you....what you describe is anecdote, not useless but not particularly useful especially when massive amounts of actual data is available

I'll take the opinion of those enlisted to give diplomas and publish papers over some random internet "expert". Less deaths=contraction, non? weren't less deaths at least part of the goal of "contraction" as you call it? Wouldn't less deaths have been a good outcome?
