The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
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 -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

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? -

here's another very salient link with raw data comparing deaths in different age groups for vaxed vs unvaxed but no doubt, you will refuse to accept the numbers https://data.cdc.gov/Public-Health-Surveillance/Rates-of-COVID-19-Cases-or-Deaths-by-Age-Group-and/3rge-nu2a/data Why do you MAGA's hate science and data ? My guess is because you don't understand it, are untrained in it and see it as "elite". That, or you really don't care about truth or your fellow man. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
kids died from covid too. And certainly acted as vectors for the virus. you do to see excess deaths from the unvaxed. not a stupid internet link. It's SCIENCE. rarely settled but still extremely useful and the best we got. Here, try some, 232000 at least.... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37093505/ -

It's ok here. probably not if you're defending a doc in court! Have heard it and taught it a hundred times or more. Any real doc will recognize it immediately... excess deaths: at least 232,000 in the US https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37093505/ -

when did that happen? link? meanwhile I'll search for models with estimates of unnecessary deaths because of the stupid, selfish people. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
yes, remember how quickly a safe and effective vaccine was developed and later an oral treatment. Remember that ARD's was quickly observed to be a leading mechanism of death by the virus and that prone positioning and steroids helped saved lives. I could go on but why waste the time. Remember that that thirst to heal led to the deaths of many health care workers... who said that in regards to Covid...x of course, all knowing, all seeing Doc. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
great quote...and of course, we are all taught just the opposite excepting academic centers where zebras are more prevalent. I find it very strange that Doc won't read the linked article. Unquenchable thirst for knowledge is a near prerequisite for med school and later for practice. Maybe he had it and lost it. Maybe he never had it. Maybe he's an MD. Maybe not. Doesn't really matter x for the misrepresentation of credentials/training if not. Perhaps I'm cynical and overly skeptical but MAGA's and their leaders have often been proven dishonest. -

This isn’t medical knowledge. This is a small amount of news knowledge. Btw, anesthesiologists are not known as experts in infectious disease but they know the basics. You don’t seem to -

No, he’s shown his legal chops while you’ve shown your medical ignorance. Not the same at all. One is pathetic and the other is not -

Can't blame her fiancé from wanting another early morning go. Smart and hot. Maybe we can recruit her from the dark side. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/4127935-nancy-mace-says-biden-impeachment-talk-puts-house-gop-majority-at-risk/ “I will tell you, every time we walk the plank, we are putting moderate members, members [in Biden-won districts]. We are putting those seats at risk for 2024. We are putting the majority at risk. And it’s not just impeachment that does that. Other issues, like abortion, et cetera, also put those members on the plank,” Mace continued. -

sure. The anesthesiologist (and his wife) that we went out with last week wouldn't have been able to pull out a phone or PC in the OR, ever. He is hilarious tho and brilliant. His overhead pages were so funny that the hospital got rid of the ability to do them over the phone. He wrote something rude on my chest in recovery once after an ACL repair. But a message board with 57.5 k posts? absolutely impossible.

I had a junior pass. My dad would drop me off on his way to work and pick me up after. Lots of other kids to play with and have putting competitions.

We didn't have the senate. Joe Manchin and Sinema are really R's. Nope. Neither and it's true. That has been my experience. Pretty certain you're not a doctor. At least not a good one. Your takes on multiple Covid issues were/are the opposite of evidence based Medicine. We were out with an anesthesiologist last week. He's pretty conservative but never took positions like yours on Covid. Too well trained at UVA to fall for that.

Covid Protocols 2023
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Why a gerbil? Not doubt JD will call me "creepy". I don't like gerbils or mice or rats. Yuck! I don't know why my dogs don't kill more of them. Black racer and barn snakes are cool tho. -
To Have, and To Have Not: a Midwestern Tale
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Beck Water's topic in Off the Wall
We have underground power cables in our neighborhood. Very occasionally lose power. Should be standard practice for power co's. As far as cost comparison, right now, here, it's significantly cheaper to use propane. that could change. haven't pulled the trigger. Would be cool if they made a generator that could run solar and another fuel. Don't believe it exists. -

Which churches JD? Not to be judgmental, but do you think any of those soccer mom's ever used the morning after pill? Simple is not simple. I'll bet you $1 that MTG and Boebert had some close calls. Now the one that almost missed the prayer breakfast in SC...
