Global warming err Climate change HOAX
DC Tom replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The scientist then publishes them, for others to reproduce and prove or disprove. The problem with Global Warming - again - is that those parameters are forbidden from being disproven. It's why - again - Global Warming is religion, not science, because the concept of "falsifiability" has been eliminated from the methodology. Which, again, is why the proper question isn't "Is the data manipulated?" Manipulating the data is scientific. So yes, it is. But if you can't ask if it's being properly manipulated, and hypothesize and test that it's being improperly manipulated, then the theory is unscientific. -
"Specialized archivist" in this case most likely means "censor" anyway. I'd prefer the data dump.

That's ***** priceless. Smollett's benefactor refusing to answer questions about him while out with Tawana Brawley's benefactor.

Point of note: scientific data is ALWAYS manipulated. It has to be, to sort "signal" from "noise." The question shouldn't be "Is this data manipulated?" but "Is this data PROPERLY manipulated?" -
Vaccines and Trump: Your stance?
DC Tom replied to BeginnersMind's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No, epidemics are the widespread transmission of disease. -

Again, misunderstanding vaccines as preventing disease, when they prevent epidemics. -

Well, that's interesting. As though they had forewarning. -

DC Tom replied to BeginnersMind's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No, because - again - the purpose of vaccines is not to protect people, it's to prevent epidemics. I'd rather reintroduce large predators into their historical ranges. Saber-toothed tigers in downtown LA, for example. Same effect, but much better television. -
It's California. It'll go to fund soda delivery via high-speed rail.

Smallpox. Effectiveness: 100%. Reward: The disease no longer exists. Risk: 1.5 in one million chance of potentially fatal reaction. Now have that conversation about risk vs. reward. -

I have never told anyone that. I have told people that "I'm not autistic...I would be by your standards, but your standards are stupid, and mine are better. And since I'm a genius, if you disagree with me the problem is yours, not mine." More seriously, I'm almost certain that, by today's standards, I would have been diagnosed as being on the spectrum back when I was 4. But the diagnostic criteria have broadened considerably in that time, basically from "Rain Man" to "weird guy in junior high who collected stamps and never talked to anyone." -

But most of the time I'm too smart for your own good, because you're an idiot. "Fewer" vs. "less" is the fallacy of rate vs. amount. -
12 pages in a month, versus...nothing, in a couple hours. Your complaint boils down to "Time exists, and I don't like it!" He has a mental illness. PTSD, from being oppressed all his life.

Like I said: "Smollett's going be lynched all over again." Liberal stupidity is nothing if not predictable.

It is, because not all vaccines are made the same way. Saying "vaccines" cause anaphylaxis, when it's only certain components of certain vaccines, is a stupid and dangerous fallacy of over-generalization. Precision matters. -

An allergic reaction to what? An attenuated virus? A live virus? Or the gelatin used as a stabilizer? You sensitive to any brands of cosmetics at all? All vaccines carry a risk of allergic reaction...because of how they're made. It's why there's always epinephrine nearby (whether you see it or not) whenever you get a shot. -
Pretty convinced that if Chucklehead is worried about it, then it's not a problem.

This sign brought to you by the CEO of Home Depot. I'm sure AOC gives a ***** what he thinks. -

Flu shots make me miserable - yes, they make you sick, because as I say above they provoke an immune response, and many of the symptoms of "being sick" are actually symptoms of the immune response to an infection. So I'm always sick for a few days afterwards. But I don't complain. Because I've had the flu. And getting sick from the vaccination is absolutely nothing like actually having the flu. I'd rather have a mild fever and runny nose for two days than feel like hot death for a solid month. Same thing with a tetanus booster. I get one every eight years (because of my wood shop). That will put me flat on my back - literally - for 24 hours. But it beats the ***** out of tetanus. Which is also why anti-vaxxers are true morons: pathetic risk management. "But the MMR vaccine means my little snowflake has a one in 70 chance of developing autism!" Well...okay, but NOT getting the vaccine means your little snowflake has a 1 in 30 chance of never getting autism because they're DEAD. Do the math.
