>how can you definitely say he was not suggesting to drink bleach? I didn't. I said he did not say to drink bleach. If you want to believe that those words "suggest" drinking bleach, that is an entirely different argumen

And what does the headline say?

He didn't say it, that's the point.

No, I do not wish to assign that meaning, that meaning was already assigned a long time ago. And you don't need to be a prescriptivist to want a language that is capable of communicating our thoughts with each other.

Google for "Trump bleach". The entire first page is media either saying Trump said to drink or inject bleach or lysol, or the media saying "don't listen to Trump, drinking bleach is bad", which is clearly implying

Normalizing errors in language is how language degrades. We no longer have a word for literally, because people use literally to mean figuratively. We are losing the ability to talk about begging the question, because people think it mean

>To me it seemed clear that he was talking about a research idea, not about a home treatment. Yes, the preceding paragraph makes that clear. >On the other hand I don't think he made that point 100% clear. Definitely not, most of

It is being amplified by the media itself, not someone with media presence.

>"This begs the question" is same as "This raises the question" No it isn't, that is a common error in modern English. Raising the question means bringing a question into focus. Begging the question means to as

What he said is just his usual incoherent gibberish. If the media didn't run an organized campaign of bleach drinking hysteria, absolutely nobody would have that idea in their heads. Now the media has created a situation where a smal

Many media outlets have claimed Trump told people to drink bleach. Unless you can provide a quote of Trump saying that, yes they are absolutely lying.

There is no whataboutism. You are creating a strawman, and then complaining about it being fallacious. I am not defending Trump, I am attacking the media. The media are the ones spreading the bleach drinking meme. That is bad. They sho

None of that is relevant to my post. A major symptom of Trump derangement syndrome is the inability to understand that criticizing the bad behavior of the press is not a defense of Trump. No matter how stupid Trump is, it in no way excuse

>This begs the question of robustness of the whole scientific publishing process It raises the question. Begging the question is an unrelated logical fallacy. Unfortunately, there have been a ton of examples of the peer-review process

Who is it that really bears the blame for these unsubstantiated bleach drinking incidents? Trump, who did not say anything like "drink bleach", or the media who openly lie and run headlines like "Trump tells everyone to drin

There is overwhelming evidence. Dozens of studies, all show significant reduction the spread of viral diseases simply by tying a folded piece of cotton over your face. And if you need to back peddle this hard, maybe you should be so quick

>Does that say it's harmful to wear masks? Yes, it does. "In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite". But that is irrelevant, since that is not what I claimed. I said the WHO says masks don't work

This is precisely why this sort of "helpful" censorship is not helpful. The WHO is wrong, plain and simple. There's dozens of studies that very clearly show even home made masks are highly effective in spreading viral disea

Every strain identified so far has been found in the US. You have provided absolutely nothing to support the claims that the US has handled this badly, or that they have ignored advice from experts. And you simply dismiss the evidence tha

From who then? Please provide an example. Show me what the US did differently from European countries, and explain why the US fatality rate per capita is better than many European countries despite apparently doing everything wrong.

by asdkjh345fd 6y ago
Can you give an example of this though? Everything I can find shows the US did follow recommendations, just like the rest of the west, and that's precisely why it has been so bad here. The WHO said there was no human to human transmi
