Well, they could have chosen the name of EU president or some head of the state, or Jesus. This one is selected with a message on top of all this attention seeking.

I think that the point – to show that the certificate system is about total nazi style control.

It is a tragedy as it has legitimised total control. In Latvia you cannot enter the shop without showing the certificate and passport. The control is even worse than during Soviet times.

In such a case any pharmacist can generate a factious certificate. I don't expect them to risk their licence with false data entry but given a big country and a sufficient number of disgruntled, nearly retired professionals...

My understanding is that health care professionals do not directly interact with the system generating certificates. Instead, they simply enter patient vaccination records in e-health system (or whatever it is called in each country). And t

Exactly. The odds that any new research will find ivermectine effective are very low. If the odds were higher, the government could grant monopoly rights to a willing pharma company. In fact they did this with another very old treatment for

I think that we already have enough data showing that this is most likely ineffective treatment that it is hard to justify spending more money on this. Furthermore, people who are not convinced, will find a reason to doubt the new study as

Or people who chose to get vaccinated are generally more cautious and think more about their health and may be even more careful drivers etc., therefore they would die less often from traffic accidents compared to irresponsible drunk driver

I find this confirming that all tech companies lie and push the narrative. Their explanation is that Theranos did it more than others which I think is true. But there was not a qualitative difference, just difference in scale, like in an ex

CIA discussed killing of Assange. Most people would consider such a thing highly immoral and such discussions indicate that CIA has become an immoral organisation. No wonder that people working for CIA are losing morale. Most likely Havana

I think you are trying to overanalyse and overrule the experts here. Experts are saying that with the regards to the whole population currently community wide booster shots are not needed. It may not apply to each individual case (such as i

I don't see it impossible if you account for expected changes. It probably needs a lot of more research and better technologies, so we are not there yet.

The counterpoint is Freestyle libre sensor. It measures glucose levels not in the blood but intercellular liquid and while not as precise as blood test, it is working. Even if blood in capillaries is different, the measurements can still be

What's wrong with the word Caucasian? I think it is used to indicate white people and etymology is such a rabbit hole that it is better to not go there. In fact translating this into most European languages the term “white people” is u

Obviously most will be unrelated and not caused by vaccines. It is not even clickbait but simply false. The title is written either due to ignorance or intentional malice.

Very good summary. “In this pandemic a complexity of factors has created a powerful tendency for HIT overestimation. Which factors and how they interacted to produce such dominant pro-lockdown current seems an important topic for transdisci

Yes, meta-study is the same as meta-analysis but in medicine meta-study is actually quite common, at least at the university where I studied. Literature review is not higher that meta-analysis. It quotes one study but how reliable it is? Wh

I pointed to review which is higher than a single study because it incorporates many studies and practically all meaningful available evidence. I asked you a question do you know what a metastudy is? You didn't answer, so I suppose the

It is inconclusive because there are many other studies that show that lockdowns were ineffective. Do you know what is a metastudy? And that the biggest metastudy about ivermectin actually tended to support that it is slightly effective? So

I think I already made myself quite clear. Tegnell was famous by saying that lockdowns are crude measure and covid will be a longterm problem therefore we need to learn to live with instead of trying to eliminate it (I think it is called ze

I know that he wrote but despite this part not proven the main point still stands – we haven't really any cost-benefit calculations at all. Nor estimates that lockdowns are effective.

Not yet. It could be that pandemics actually decrease suicides as some people who would have killed themselves, die from the disease. Or by the effect that pandemics cause more empathy between people that reduce suicide rates. But by introd

I think it does. Ultimately it is a policy decision. There is no exact criteria what should be risk/benefit ratio before we can approve drug for unrestricted (but still doctor supervised) use. If we as the society agree that, let'

I know that lockdowns are a fuzzy term but basically we mostly use it to meant that we prevent people from leaving home except for buying food or going to work. By saying that lockdowns can also mean some light version of limiting number of
