Sounds great. There are countless studies showing those drugs are ineffective, but people believe what they want to believe. I was never opposed to people who wanted to take those medicines. As long as they weren't proven to harm, who cares? My only issue is that the demographics who tended to want them also tended to villainize everyone else who didn't agree with them, and were (are) considerably more likely to spread misinformation about them and other treatments.

It's a weird situation. They want things to be democrat, but not psycho left democrat. But my thing is if you choose to go to a republican state, you're choosing their ways of life and their politics. Same for immigrants: if you're choosing to live here, maybe fly the American flag instead of the one from whatever country that was so terrible you fled it with nothing but the clothes on your back. Another major issue for Colorado is that they were the pioneers in the weed legalization game. I think weed should be legal, and I don't think it's any worse than alcohol. That said, when Colorado legalized, people from all over the country moved there. Their problem is they weren't getting doctors, scientists, or other educated people, their move-ins were homeless, or fast food workers, or baristas. Colorado is a totally different place now than it was 15 years ago. It's still beautiful, but parts of it are wasting away.

Sweet Jesus.

I saw this earlier. I'm all for people being whoever they want as long as it doesn't affect other people. When a man wants to be a female athlete, it affects many females. I'm glad there are people who are willing to step up and speak out against this.

@SmashMouth to answer your question.

I agree. And there's plenty of greed on both sides. Lots of people lining their pockets on both sides of this thing. Unwoke's messiah doctor is getting richer by the day peddling information that's been proven wrong by dozens of medical studies. But hey, the koolaid he's serving tastes great, and for $16,99 you can buy a cup on amazon!

No, you just said he was the best cardiologist in the world. but then again, you think ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are effective against covid, because your cardio messiah says so. maybe you can start making tinfoil hats with his picture on them. Study Finds No Benefit to Taking Ivermectin for COVID-19 Symptoms | Duke Health of course, your heart doctor that's making $16.99 apiece from sheep for his paperback, and however much a speaking appearance says differently. I'm quoting medical studies, and you're quoting the twitter doctor. Wait, I mean the best cardiologist in the world. Amazing that you can get caught in that nonsense lie and in the same breath talk down to anyone about how dumb they are for "drinking the koolaid." you worship this guy so much you're attributing the #1 ranking in the world to him based on literally nothing at all, and anyone who says differently is a moron. Including well over 90% of the medical community. It's all a conspiracy, and he's the one getting rich "exposing it". There's really no point in going any further with this. You post baseless accusations about me, and your proof that I'm wrong all comes from a discredited doctor who you've ordained the best cardiologist in the world (but you keep taking shots about me being an expert). And you still refuse to address where you've come up with the lie.

Hi pot, meet kettle. There’s far more evidence to show that the vaccine saved lives than there is that your messiah is the world’s best cardiologist. I guess I could post from hundreds of the “world’s best cardiologists” on here in favor of the vaccine? They own many leather books, and their homes smell of mahogany.

Again, I’m not arguing that he’s a qualified cardiologist, or even that he’s a good one. Your claim, multiple times, has been that he’s the world’s best. You could post a similar bio for many cardiologists. They’re all published and many serve on multiple boards. When you find something stating that he’s the best in the world, or even the best in the US, or even amongst them, get back to me. Or better yet, when you bring up your hero in the future, maybe just refer to him as “a cardiologist” and leave off the made up superlatives.

Dude, your literal claim was he’s “the world’s best cardiologist.” I asked you to prove that, and this is your response? What was it you said to me in the other thread? I’m not saying one way or another. But if you’re going to claim it, prove your point. Looks like you can’t. Lol. but hey, a freelance Twitter journalist with 1900 followers posted one of his videos and referred to him as world-renowned. That’s about all anyone should need to prove he’s the “world’s best cardiologist.”

Before I go, can you quantify your statement that Dr. Peter McCullough is the top cardiologist in the world? That’s a legit question? I get that he’s a real doctor, and worked at a big hospital, but where did you draw that conclusion from? I know you’re big on other people proving your statements for you, so I googled and found a list from Forbes in 2017 (before he was blacklisted, but close enough to then that he was well established), and he wasn’t mentioned in their top 27 cardiologists in the country. I found a different list from 2013 and he wasn’t listed. [Hidden Content] here’s a list from 2021 of the best cardiology hospitals in the world. One would think baylor health would be pretty high considering the influence of the best cardiologist in the world, but they were ranked 63rd. so do you have any basis for your statement that he’s the best the best cardiologist in the world?

Anyway, enough fun in here. I’m out, you can get back to posting Twitter videos of folks who’ve raised their profile and gotten rich(er) by pandering to anti-vaxxers.

In regards to your obgyn video: [Hidden Content] the conclusion of the study: Among 85 162 births, 43 099 (50.6%) occurred in individuals who received one dose or more of a covid-19 vaccine during pregnancy—42 979 (99.7%) received an mRNA vaccine. Vaccination during pregnancy was not associated with any increased risk of overall preterm birth (6.5% among vaccinated v 6.9% among unvaccinated; adjusted hazard ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval 0.96 to 1.08), spontaneous preterm birth (3.7% v 4.4%; 0.96, 0.90 to 1.03), or very preterm birth (0.59% v0.89%; 0.80, 0.67 to 0.95). No increase was found in risk of small for gestational age at birth (9.1% v 9.2%; 0.98, 0.93 to 1.03) or stillbirth (0.25% v 0.44%; 0.65, 0.51 to 0.84). Findings were similar by trimester of vaccination, mRNA vaccine product, and number of doses received during pregnancy.

[Hidden Content] to paraphrase, since it’s not a Twitter video to watch, the death rates among age group studied after set time ranges of receiving vaccines were actually slightly lower than the expected rates of those same groups due to all causes. There was no jump in death rate at all when those groups were vaccinated.

Again, 34,000 deaths, most with nothing to link them to the vaccine other than time proximity. Almost 231,000,000 Americans are fully vaccinated. Most of those received two doses, and many have also had one or more booster. 613 million doses had been administered by October 2022 in the US. A reasonable guess is that 700 million doses of the vaccine have been administered by now , a good portion to the people in our population most as risk of dying on any given day. I’m surprised there aren’t more than 34,000 documented deaths of people who’d recently been vaccinated, just based on the laws of average and coincidence. At one point nearly 2 million vaccines were being administered daily. Around 8000 people die a day. There’s going to be many, many instances of unrelated coincidental deaths of people who recently were vaccinated. I’m not claiming that nobody ever died as a result of a COVID vaccine, but I don’t see an 82-year-old obese smoker dying of a stroke a week after they were vaccinated and say to myself “dang shot killed another one!” as to your claim of my not being an expert, I’ve never claimed to be. Just stating things I do know personally. And I choose to put my faith in the overwhelming majority of medical personnel, not the one I can find to say exactly what I already believe.

We’re seeing some pushback from, for lack of a better term, the “old school” democrats. There’s a growing number of “normal” liberals who don’t want crime ridden cities with homeless camps on sidewalks downtown, and don’t want their second graders getting educated on sex and preferred pronouns. My fear is that another Republican loss in the election will give the radical left four more years to entrench themself and push the country even further off track, overwhelming and outnumbering the regular dems and moderates.

I don’t doubt this. As I stated, it’s obvious what’s going on here. Whether it’s actually even necessary is debatable.

He’s the turd sandwich I would pick. He did a lot of things I liked. But one of the results he got was riling up and vastly growing a rabid group of lunatic left wingers, and I don’t really want to see that trend continue.

I’ve done it many times before. The link I clicked in this thread wasn’t really “fake”, it just wasn’t news. It was “here’s video of cnbc talking about the indictment, and now the grand jury got cancelled.” But it’s supposed show how the the cnbc people are dumb because they didn’t convene the grand jury? It’s hard to follow, which goes back to the 8th grade comparison I made earlier.

No arguments on that. I still don’t want to eat a turd sandwich, even if one is made better than the other.

Back on topic: this whole charade is a thinly veiled attempt to discredit Trump as it looks more and more like he’ll be the Republican nominee for the next election. But also, he paid hush money to a porn star he was most likely banging while he was married. How much discrediting does he really need? Biden and Trump have both been involved in shady financial deals. Biden and trump both kept classified documents in unsafe places. Biden and trump both have done questionable things in the past involving women or girls. Biden and Trump both consistently say delusional things that are easily proven false. The next election is looking likely to shape up as a pompous turd sandwich running against an older, senile turd sandwich.

Dude, just go read them. Follow some of the links. They read like they’re written by middle schoolers. You don’t strike me as dumb. If someone was on here posting similar articles from liberal sources you guys would line up to shred them apart. But again, back to your signature move, which is whatever fits your agenda is valid, and it’s up to everyone else to prove it false, not for you to prove it valid.

Here’s where I stand on vaccines now: the original vaccines helped a lot against the alpha and delta variants, which were the most serious ones. Hospitals all over the country put out numbers showing that a small fraction of their patients and deaths were among the vaccinated. Some folks choose to believe that all of the medical professionals in the country were working in consort to create a massive conspiracy to get people vaccinated. Whatever. As I stated in my other post, 13 of 14 COVID deaths with people I knew personally occurred in the unvaccinated, and the one who was vaccinated was in arguably the most at-risk group that exists. Now, that being said, I never cared for Fauci. I think he’s crooked, and I think he did shady stuff to try and push vaccinations. I was always for people having the choice, and was always against vax mandates. I got the original vaccine, but when the new strains of COVID became milder I chose not to get any boosters. I eventually became sick with COVID and built up natural immunity. Hopefully it’ll last awhile. Vaccines have become increasingly less effective over time as the virus has mutated. That isn’t proof that they didn’t help. The numbers say they did, whether you choose to believe them or not. The fact that anti-vaxxers wave around decreased success or vaccines as the virus has mutated is a non-issue for me. Your “gotcha” moment doesn’t prove to me that I was originally wrong, and I still feel the same way about a lot of the things I said two years ago. COVID was a serious issue for a couple years, and I still believe that vaccines saved many lives. I still don’t believe the silly conspiracy theories about the vaccines being more dangerous than the illness itself. And I still get annoyed that vax-deniers pretend that they don’t understand math when you point out that a certain amount of people in an age-group dies every week whether they’ve recently been vaccinated or not, so you’re going to to have literally thousands of coincidental deaths.
