    An unfortunate consequence of the larger anti-science movement in this country.

    Is doomsday prepping a waste of time and money?

    It’s about as stupid as playing the lottery.

    Elections Trump Indicted On 91 Counts

    For those interested in plausible timelines for the start of the trial, here’s an article with a pretty thorough breakdown. https://www.justsecurity.org/91108/how-long-will-trumps-dc-immunity-appeal-take-analyzing-the-alternative-timelines/ “In sum, the shortest plausible timeline under our...

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    Oh look, you cited the author and study I predicted you would. Almost like I’ve been through this and am familiar with the literature. I cited you two meta analyses, which are both much higher quality. Here’s another, which is consistent with the Lancet study...

    Incorrect. You’re likely referring to the Ioannidis study, which is one of the poorest meta analyses I’ve ever seen. His estimates differed considerably from other publications, including these: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33007452/...

    The overall IFR was roughly 0.4 - 0.8% for the ancestral virus, which was more benign than alpha and Delta.

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    The data are clear and overwhelming. The vaccines are safe and effective by any reasonable definition. Here’s another study published just today, showing clearly why even children and adolescents should have been vaccinated. https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M23-1754 During the Delta...

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    Define what long term is. 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? Why did you choose that amount of time? Is there any precedent, epidemiological evidence, or biological basis for waiting years? Now compare that to the known risks of the virus at the time. Vaccination was clearly the right choice.

    More data were collected in 8 months for covid vaccines than in 8 years for most other vaccines. Phase 1 & 2 were also stacked, partially, which expedited the process. You can thank those volunteers. The other vaccines were removed from the market because they were inferior, both in safety and...

    Nice try. You said excess deaths are “higher than the pandemic”. Except, as I showed you, they are down nearly everywhere relative to 2020/21.

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    Excess deaths are down throughout the world compared to 2020/21. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-average-baseline?country=USA~GBR This is what happens when you post unchallenged in an echo chamber. You keep mindlessly repeating demonstrably false statements.

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    His question went over your head. The condition in your example (seizure) didn’t take years to manifest after vaccination. It was already there, but the link was only demonstrated epidemiologically years later. The point is, researchers didn’t need to sit around and wait as if the mechanism...

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    This has been discussed previously. Data from numerous countries has shown the percentage (not just the absolute number) of influenza tests that came back positive was dramatically reduced. In fact, in 2020 some countries (like Japan) tested more for influenza than they did in preceding years...

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    Calling something a common cold doesn’t make it one. At the height of the pandemic SARS2 was killing more people in a month than influenza kills in a year, let alone the outrageous comparison to common cold viruses. 1.2 million is based on death certificates, which is almost certainly an...

    You have an immovable position that is entirely immune to facts. A common theme among science denialists.

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    I’ve already explained this to you. C19 deaths are not inflated. The “with vs from” is a flawed argument and not consistent with how the CDC’s provisional counts are tabulated.

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    Not how it works. C19 doesn’t have to be the sole cause of death to be a cause. Bottom line: C19 has conservatively killed over 1.2 million people in the US alone. Downplaying the disease burden of the pandemic is shameful.

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    Staw man. The vaccine doesn’t need to be 100% safe and effective for a cost benefit analysis to favor it.

    I’ll trust the evidence. Stay in school kiddo.

    What was your COVID Twilight Zone moment?

    The waiting is for the reason I explained previously. Can you point to a single vaccine where serious side effects manifested later than 3 months out? Like I said, you’re engaging in an appeal to ignorance fallacy. There were no theoretical or observational reasons that warranted concern of long...
