Unlike the cowardly e-rager of modern day.

What a sad group.
They also knew something that most anti-vaxxers don't: that sometimes even when someone survived an infection it did permanent damage or came back to haunt them later. Sometimes people with polio developed additional neurological damage/paralysis years or decades after they had the disease. Jean Harlow got scarlet fever as a teenager and a decade later likely died from kidney failure as a result. Many infectious diseases start the process of atherosclerosis, clogging of coronary arteries.

The list is very long. Preventing illness is far better than surviving it. This has been known for decades.

You always struck me as someone who had a decent working knowledge of science and logic and I recall awhile back that you seemed to think the vaccines were safe and effective. Maybe I'm misremembering, but if not, it's disappointing to see you having fallen victim to the antivaxx and ivermectin misinformation machines. The COVID vaccines will be remembered by the vast majority of medical researchers and doctors as one of the biggest, most important breakthrough in the history of medicine, given how safe and effective they've been (especially in protecting against severe COVID/death) and how amazingly quickly they were developed and tested (and yes, the Trump Administration deserves kudos for Warp Speed), saving 2MM+ lives in the US and tens of millions worldwide. One can debate the effectiveness of mandates, but not the effectiveness of the vaccines. If we didn't have these vaccines in place, especially when the incredibly infectious omicron variants hit, our country and much of the world would've been broken, as the impact would've been far worse than what we saw with the original strain.

https://www.statnews.com/2022/02/14/why-covid-19-vaccines-are-a-freaking-miracle/

And the ivermectin case, in particular, kind of destroys your "big Pharma bad" logic here. Specifically, it absolutely has no efficacy for COVID, as I and a couple of MDs in the linked thread have shown (and much of this was well known 2 years ago). Secondly, Merck stood to gain substantially, financially, if iermectin worked for COVID, but Merck came out with crystal clear statements summarizing how ivermectin was ineffective for COVID (and could be dangerous when the animal formulations were used by humans, as has occurred). Also, it's not like Merck had COVID vaccines that it didn't want ivermectin competing with. As I've said many times, having worked on ivermectin in the late 80s/early 90s, I would have been thrilled if it worked for COVID. It doesn't. Also, anyone who says that there was a bias against repurposing existing medications (like HCQ and ivermectin) hasn't been paying attention, since dexamethasone an old steroid was approved for use in patients suffering from COVID-induced inflammation, as it worked very well for that. And is pretty cheap.

First.. I think all CoVid stats are political and don't trust any of them and never did and I think this has been proven over time. I am surprised you buy into it. 2M lives saved? Puh-lease. The treatments saved lives.. but not 2M... the vacines.. doubt it.

There may have been some value in giving the population a placebo vacine that made it look like there was something they could do about the giant CRISIS knocking at their doors. But so many picked up bad habits being locked away... away from schools.. etc.

BTW..

Did you not realize that the FDA recently softened its stance in ivermectin? They are trying to walk a fine line between not actually approving it and advising how to be safe about using it, if prescribed.

Now.. some out there on the social sites are claiming they completely backtracked and now approved it.. that's not quite right.

FDA site on this...

Jimmy Dore show does a decent job discussing these issue but they are prone to trying to find humor and mocking... they seem to basically be left-leaning libertarians... but in terms of distaste for the authoritarianism going on now they might seem to be right-wing. They are not... definitely not. Antiestablishment on both side.. yeah.. they seem to despise big government no matter who is running it.



And we know you were big pharma before retiring. Have no idea if you do consulting to big pharma now.

You wouldn't believe how socialist I am when it comes to health care and pharma. I basically think everything should be nationalized and rolled under the control of universities. Pay would remain good for researchers etc... but nothing would be spent on advertising, profits, pharma babes, or executive stock options... sure, there might not be new profitable drugs to help erections last longer or grow hair for the bald... but every non-profitable dread disease would be researched and possibly cures found. All drug production would be moved here or to other western democracies that we could trust.

Same for health insurance and delivering health care. I think issues like that are national issues and should not be subject to the profit motive. I'd also have my eye on the defense industry... there's something wrong there too.

The FDA changed nothing in its stance - that source is full of misinformation. Try reading an actual news source reporting on what the FDA said and didn't say. See what I had posted a few days ago, below. And the fact that you are unable to understand the science behind the vaccines and their safety and effectiveness is sad. It's beyond blindingly obvious to all MDs except for a few crackpots who are making money on alternatives that don't work. And even if you thought the data were political in the US, which is just kooky talk (especially since the numbers of deaths were very high under both Trump and Biden, plus the excess deaths match up quite well with COVID deaths) how did every other country see it the same way?

The FDA did nothing of the kind, but I'm sure you know that - or are simply ignorant of how the FDA works. As I said previously, ivermectin has been approved for human use for years for various parasitic infections, meaning doctors are technically allowed to prescribe ivermectin in an off-label fashion for COVID or other conditions.

However, that doesn't mean the FDA doesn't have a responsibility to inform the public, as they have done, that ivemectin has shown no efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 and furthermore that use of various animal formulations of ivermectin (in higher doses than for humans in different formulations, that were never approved for humans) is likely quite dangerous, as has been observed in many cases.

All of this right wing "alternative medicine" chatter about ivermectin and what the case before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals means for ivermectin, is filled with misinformation. If you want to read what really happened in that court, read this including the excerpt below. Unfortunately, there are a lot of morons out there, who believe that ivermectin works for COVID, just like there are plenty of idiots who believe videos showing lidocaine is good to give teething babies, when, in fact, it can lead to seizures and possibly death.

https://www.courthousenews.com/iver...-fifth-circuit-to-revive-lawsuit-against-fda/

U.S. Circuit Judge Don Willett, a Trump appointee, pressed Honold to define the limits of the FDA’s jurisdiction.

“You concede the FDA has no authority to issue medical advice, correct? That is not arguable, right? The FDA cannot issue medical advice,” he said.

“No, your honor,” Honold replied. “The government is not conceding that in this case.”

She said when people are using drugs in unsafe ways, leading to hospitalizations, it “is not only permissible, it is imperative that the FDA be able to inform the public of its scientific views about safe uses of drugs.”

For example, Honold said, the FDA recently issued advisories warning people it is not safe to eat chicken cooked in the cough syrup NyQuil — a recipe that spread on the social media app TikTok. And in 2014, Honold noted, the FDA cautioned against using lidocaine off-label as a numbing agent for teething babies because it can cause seizures and deaths for them.

“The FDA has to be able to make these kinds of public safety statements. Under plaintiffs’ theory, FDA would not be able to communicate to the public in this way,” Honold argued.

Here's Proud Boy in March 2020, when he was scared shitless of this "hoax" of a virus and praying for a vaccine. Amazing what a transformation he made from concerned citizen to deranged antivaxxer.
Probably because we were lied to. And believing it is dangerous flu when you see the CCP welding shut the doors of apartment buildings and beating people they found outside without permission.. it makes an impression. Believing it to be dangerous doesn't mean you have to agree with everything the government did then and afterword.

For instance, you thought Trump's ban on travel from China and Italy was the xenophobic nonsense of a racist fascist. Turns out it was quite sensible.

Heck.. you probably still believe it was not a lab leak.

So if the FDA says ivermectin is OK that's fine but if they say the vaccine is OK that's not fine. You can't say the FDA is/isn't credible only when it suits you. Sorry. Big pharma, pushing ivermectin.

We weren't lied to. CV killed 0.5-1.0% of people infected around the world, prior to vaccines. That's how we had ~400K deaths in 2020 out of ~21MM cases (which were likely ~40-50MM cases, given undercounts in cases due to lack of testing and asymptomatic infections). Do you believe those numbers were made up, despite every other country having similar case fatality ratios? This is way beyond the ~0.1% CFR for influenza.

I also supported the China travel ban, although it came way too late to be effective, as ~300K Chinese came to the US in Jan-2020 before the travel ban went into effect. All it did was delay the onset of the pandemic in the US by a couple of weeks - and we squandered that lead time by not having testing in place when the infections came. We also failed to stop travel from Europe until mid-March, allowing 2MM+ Europeans into the US in the preceding 6 weeks, resulting in the the biggest outbreak in the world right in the NYC/NJ region, where 2/3 of people in this area were infected by people coming from Europe.

And lastly, like most virologists, I still believe that zoonotic transmission, the path of every other virus to humans in history, was by far the most likely route of entry of SARS-CoV-2 into humans, but as I've said many times it's impossible to rule out a lab leak (but easy to rule out a virus "created" in a lab by Chinese scientists). The recent Taibbi article is so full of holes and errors it's not funny.

By the way, I no longer am doing any consulting - fully retired. And we're pretty well aligned on the rest of your points above, as I also believe in universal health care administered by the government (not universities) and have always hated direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs (has resulted in way too many dollars spend on ads and not R&D and has hurt the reputation of the industry) - and really dislike ads for supplements/neutraceuticals, which generally don't undergo "gold standard" RCT clinical testing at all and are not manufactured under anywhere near the quality rigor of prescription drugs.

There's been a HUGE increase in UK cardio deaths and the usual supects are trying to blame ambulances being late. Stuff like this should be investigated and not swept under the carpet. Those synthetic spike proteins are poison and they do not leave in a couple weeks as reported. They've been found 60 days later and probably more because 60 days is just where they stopped looking

"Nearly 100,000 more people with cardiovascular disease than expected have died since the start of the pandemic in England, according to our analysis published today.
It means that, on average, there have been over 500 additional deaths a week involving cardiovascular disease, since the pandemic began.

There are likely many contributing factors, including extreme and widespread pressure on NHS services and Covid-19.

There have been more excess deaths involving cardiovascular conditions than any other disease groups in this analysis – a total of 96,540 since 21st March 2020, the analysis of data from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) finds. "

So Biden didn't try to push through a mandate until the courts absolutely ***** slapped him

I mean some posters here are absolutely fake news


1st - in case you did not know, there are checks and balances in this country and in this case I agree with the court decision. See I believe that it's ok not to blindly agree with everything a POTUS does.

2nd - What does this have to do with your point (that you had to get a vax to go to a basketball game)? You are both deflecting and complaining about something that didn't even affect you personally. Fact is that you did not have to get a vax for your job.

There's a difference between the federal government, acting in its capacity as an employer, mandating vaccines for its employees and contractors and the federal government telling you, the lawn guy, that you had to get vaccinated.

The latter never happened.

The recent Taibbi article is so full of holes and errors it's not funny.
1) we were lied to about how many people died FROM CoVid complications instead of "with CoVid". (now, it is possible, even likely, that the stress put on the health care system because of CoVid caused other deaths not purely related to the virus itself.. so while the biggest numbers they threw out there to justify more spending and more lockdown days were lies, so are teh smallest numbers from the other side).

This was done to play into the big crisis and give the government more power where they could spend more money without any sensible checks and balances. This is the bread and butter for our ruling class these days... did I say bread and butter? I meant lobster and caviar.

2) when Trump did the 1st travel ban, the MSM attacked him relentlessly. Now, Trump might have a base knowledge of business and can make a lot of good decisions based on that knowledge.. but in things like medicine and science he has to take advice from the establishment.. as he did in hiring people and retaining people for his administration. So it is pretty easy to influence him poorly in these areas.. including defense, intelligence law enforcement etc. And people like Chis Christie and Fauci advised him very poorly. And the media and Dem push-back on his travel ban hurt him and hurt us all.

3) Have you not seen the emails and texts between Fauci's guys and how many of them thought it signaled "made in a lab" before they agreed to lie to the public and call it a natural phenomenon?

Here you go... direct from congressional testimony...

Or those FBI files just magically appeared in the First Lady's nightstand in 1993...must have been the maid. Was she constitutionally allowed to have those files? How many billions were laundered through the Clinton Foundation again?

I know. "But Trump" and "But MAGA". Stay focused on your words above.

Still with Hillary lol

Trump took millions from China while in office. Not Hillary.

Trump's daughter took millions from China while in office. Not Hunter.

Trump took files, refused to return them AND showed them off, on tape, after being ejected by 81 million patriots.

How's the Trump foundation doing? Oh right it was shuttered for fraud...unlike Hillary's.

So...were Bush and Trump's DOJ just not in the loop of your whataboutism lies or are they just real bad at their jobs? LOL

So as opposed to advocating a ban on European travel they advocated for close quarter celebrations of Chinese New Years where travelers clearly could have been exposed. I guess that makes sense to you.

Once again, you make a post filled with misinformation and innuendo. The CDC never called HCQ a poison, since it's an approved medication for malaria; however, they have published pages showing that HCQ has no efficacy in either treatment of COVID nor prevention of COVID, as per several robust (randomized/controlled, the "gold standard" in medicine) clinical trials. I posted about these studies and some additional ones that came after CDC created the page below in late 2020. Both links are below.

https://rutgers.forums.rivals.com/t...es-interventions-and-more.198855/post-4644449

Also, while the Lancet situation was unfortunate, at least the journal when notified of data irregularities, investigated them discovering numerous flaws in the datasets from Surgisphere, and retracted the paper; the journal also upgraded their peer review process to hopefully prevent such situations from recurring. Lastly, and most importantly, this paper was an observational one, not a randomized controlled clinical trial, so its relevance to HCQ being effective or not is zero (since the paper was about HCQ being dangerous, which was way overstated).

And as many have posted in the Bronny thread, including some MDs, sudden cardiac deaths in young athletes have always been an issue and have not increased markedly, except during 2020 due to - you guessed it - COVID (before vaccines were available). Yet folks like you and Proud Boy feel that starting a new thread every time a young athlete gets sick or dies is indicative of something beyond the tragedy of their personal situations. They're not.

You're on your own for the rest of it, but not only the MSM but Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats called it racism. She lauded the parades and close quarter celebrations around Chinese New Years.
Wilhem DuhBlasio and his idiot NYC so-called Health Commissioners were the worst...certainly contributed to the NYC (and metro) chicomvirus death toll.




De Blasio Says New Yorkers Under 50 Years Old Are Safe

De Blasio followed suit three days after Barbot’s Feb. 7 comments. “We want to encourage” New Yorkers going out, the mayor said during a Feb. 10 MSNBC broadcast.

“If you’re under 50 & you’re healthy, which is most NYers, there’s very little threat here. This disease, even if you were to get it, basically acts like a common cold or flu. And transmission is not that easy,” de Blasio said at the time.

De Blasio Suggests New Yorkers Visit Movie Theaters During Pandemic
“Since I’m encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus,” de Blasio told his Twitter followers on March 3, no more than two weeks before likening the outbreak to a type of world war that required nationalizing industries.

He offered some suggestions for what New Yorkers should do instead of social distancing. “I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here’s the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see ‘The Traitor,’” de Blasio said, referring to a 2019 crime drama about the life and times of a Mafia mob boss.

Back to the original point (before the knuckle-dragging climate change deniers chimed in), a rare hurricane/tropical storm will likely hit southern California:

I've lived in Southern California since 1993 and only once have the remnants of a tropical storm made it this far north, in July 2015. (I remember it well because I was throwing a pool party that day.) Eight years later it's happening again. I wonder if it will become semi-regular.

Actually they're most scared--terrified even--of a big, bad, scary vaccine!! Boo! Maybe they're really just afraid of needles and think they might pass out from fear in front of a nurse.
