D&D and the rising pandemic

[J.Quondam]

In particular because we have no way of knowing if any of his claims are remotely true at all. I'm not calling Rogen a liar, necessarily, but his whole schtick isn't exactly done out of the goodness of his heart, is it? It's all about the likes/clicks/follows/etc (AKA the $).

This.
Anything said by a commentator / pundit / op-ed journalists / etc is immediately suspect, since their livelihood is entirely based on saying what their audience wants to hear. If they didn't do that, after all, they wouldn't be successful opinionators.

ETA: Of course, good such journalists cite reliable sources, and amplify information from real experts rather than snake-oil salesmen. It's the quality of those sources that make the difference between good, truthful punditry and the cynical, dishonest crap.

This is NOT an uneducated man. This is a privileged sociopath in a position of power.

Perfect characterization

Oh I figured as much, I guess I meant "what's its deal compared to the others". (I'll check out your link for the answer).

Aside: Why'd they jump all the way to Mu? Or have they already identified Epsilon to Lambda, but those variants aren't worth talking about, being relative wimps?

yes Lamda has been around a while...

Oh bite the bullet man... it's pretty established. (LOL)

It’s not safe for work (language)

Written by a woman with no more f-s to give, because she put them all in the essay. Every last one of them. She even went into he pantry, and found a old jar of f-s, and sprinkled them all over the piece.

No. You don't know that anything in there did anything.

It's entirely possible and likely that his particular case of COVID would have happened in exactly the same way in the absence of this "cocktail."

This is what is so frustrating about these claims; he could've just eaten a chocolate bar, and said, "Hey, look all you gullible people, CHOCOLATE cures the COVID!"

It's why actual science relies on things like double-blind studies, and not individual claims.

Oooooh so wonderful your response, Bowing profusely

So this happened in Canada...

So this happened in Canada...

Yes, we have our idiots as well.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Yes, we have our ipadiots as well.

We do. We've been having anti-vax-protests in Vancouver that have been picketing hospitals, including stopping ambulances from being able to get through to emergency, harassing nurses, and getting in the way of cancer patients trying to get their chemo. It's disgusting.

One of the many dumb things about it is, the freaking Hospitals have nothing to do with pandemic policy! Go picket parliament, you dumbasses! Leave the people who are trying to help (or trying to get help) alone!

The us just seems to have more
