That sounds more like something I'd do at my option.
However, I'm sure multiple truths could be constructed from the same material, each fashioned to suit the needs and wants of the maker.
Why should I put your truth over the contrasting one of another. Why should my truth if I had bothered to construct one be put over another that contrasts it.
Yes, it was handled poorly, especially when it came to Trumps "happy thoughts" approach to the pandemic, at least early on. It was unhelpful.
I expect the amount of blame assessed and fallout applied will approximate the amount needed to ensure little if any of it befalls those it should.
I don't think the "Peter Principle" is generally applied to the elected.
On the side, you mention Trump negatively, but I thought he made sense and did pretty good amid all the chaos created by the folks of "science."
More and more is coming out on those folks, and it looks like a bunch of arse covering and federal funding protection has been going on.
Once upon a time....
It is simply the way of things, evidenced in any political dispute paraded before the media and increasingly so in wider application.
Trump could be used as the poster child in a campaign to abolish democracy by adherents of contrary political systems.

But hey, who knows maybe the manufacturer of the drug has also been corrupted by the CCP and "the folks of science."
What a fucking joke this thread is.

You should put that on a t-shirt and sell them to be worn along with MAGA hats.
Opportunity knocks.
Ivermectin has been in heavy use for 40 years with nearly zero side effects (minor at most) so the risks in testing it is zero. Yet when you go through the emails with Fauci, and all the doctors that pleaded for it to become a part of the standard regimen it was always the same answer, "We need to test it first".
"We're going to lower the bar so these million dollar vaccines can be dispersed, but this dirt cheap completely safe medication we're raising the bar".
Yes, it makes perfect sense. You're just trained to believe whatever they tell you.

But hey I'm done with all the idiocy in this thread. Good luck with your Youtube healthcare advice.

You do you. I don't care what you think anyway. You are meaningless.
You're obviously much smarter than them even though you've always been a joke around here.

There appears to be striking similarities.
The clip is a good example of how actual risks combined with manic presentation, or interpretation, can cause them to be perceived as greater than doing without a vaccine. While interesting in fiction it can cause great harm in reality by slowing the process of building an effective degree of immunization overall.
There is ample evidence that face masks help in preventing covid19 transmssion.
Just google "face mask effectiveness with covid + pubmed"
With the pubmed, you will get the scientific journals that are published and peer reviewed.
They show a benefit to them with cloth masks being least beneficial.
Someone said if masks worked, covid would have been gone and that is a fallacy of thinking.
Only real way to see what would have happened without lockdowns and masks is a parallel universe which we cant do, but we can look at a proxy and see that flu and RSV incidences were less than 1% of the usual. Over 100 times reduced. I wonder what intervention could have caused that.
The whole goal of masks/lockdowns/social distamce was to mitigate covid19 as that is all you can do.
Another person mentioned that covid19 is a mild viral illness, which is partially true, but it is very unusual in many ways. Also, you cant just say 3-5% have severe issues because that is a huge percentage. You think of the mortality of covid19 but dont think of the morbidity of it. It has complications, longhauler symptoms, it causes complications in kids, etc.
Essentially, dont focus on just death numbers, there is a lot if morbidity from it.
I do agree it will be just like another virus eventually.
Moreover, experts changed their recs all the time and that is 100% expected in medicine as time goes on you make your best prediction and with more data and research you find out more and can make more accurate recommendations. Some treatments we did 7 years ago we no longer do anymore due to the newer research. It makes it tough being a physician because you are always in school mode to keep up to date.
Also, medical experts and scientists around the world helped create the modern world we have now, ill trust the professional scholarly organizations over random internet people or rogue doctors with agendas. As a physician in academic medicine the vast majority of us only care about doing what is best for patients, but there are exceptions.
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
With that line of thinking, you can prove about anything...which is just happening.
That said Fauci's emails are pretty damning that he may have known the cause of the virus and be linked to it. He clearly lied to congress and the American people. He should be prosecuted. Sadly, partisan politics seems to have half the country dumb, deaf and blind to it.
He really did not have much choice - just look at your own reaction or the reaction of healthcare professional above..
To make that specific claim that was made by the poster i was referring to requires a parallel universe to control for the many confounding factors of real life. The only way to truly know what would have happened if no masks or lockdowns or anything is ultimately with a parallel universe.
To prove a simple and straightforward claim on there being a benefit for masks impeding covid19 transmission is much easier to do and there is ample evidence for that.
You fail to understand the scope of the claim.
Here is an example to undestand scope of a claim. It is practically impossible to prove that germany would have won WWII if they didnt open two fronts.
Compared to a claim that Hitler's ego and drug use had negative impact on the German war effort.
Or another claim, the US would have won vietnam under a different president verses the negative long term effects of agent orange use in vietnam.
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
There is no harm in testing the efficacy of ivermectin save one. That is if it works the US will technically be required to stop paying for the vaccines. There is absolutely no other risk involved.
Do alarm bells not go off with this kind of information being put out there?
