If you believe adding honey to your food is meaningfully different than white sugar from a metabolic perspective, I have a bridge to sell you.

Any examples? I'm aware of "ultrafiltered" milk e.g. Fairlife, where they remove lactose, but not heard of adding it. Anyway, lactose is not equivalent to sucrose in terms of health impact.

The numbers in that tweet are based on this (pre-print) paper which reports a higher rate than the CDC does, and doesn't give a figure for Moderna specifically, so doesn't really work as a source for that "known fact" if

Would be nice to have some reasoning given for why I51.4 should be included. Not a physician, but it appears to indicate a pre-existing cardiac condition, in which case it seems reasonable to exclude those cases on the grounds of not being

Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. With the way case numbers are going, for everyone to strictly adhere to the old recommendations would necessitate pretty huge disruptions to essential services.

> You know, it could be that these people are healthier because they avoid sugar because sugar makes them feel like crap when they get overloaded with aceatate. They address that hypothesis and dismiss it. It's beyond my understand

That's addressed in the study. In fact, in their mouse model, the benefits don't show up unless they are fed sucrose.

> And in NO way doe sthis mean that eating sugar is healthy for them as the title implies!!!! That's actually exactly what the study concludes. They say children do experience those symptoms, but adapt as adults and are better off

It kinda does, partially and indirectly. The study indicates it's not a matter of them eating less sucrose, the benefits actually don't show up in the absence of sucrose in the diet. It essentially acts like soluble fibre. Of cour

> Greenlanders haven't existed for millennia. Greenlanders have existed for just under a millennium. That sentence is saying the diet is millennia old. The diet and genetic variation are also common to other Inuit populations.

That explanation doesn't really make sense, and a different one[1] appears in the paper itself. People who lack the enzymes to digest a sugar experience gastrointestinal distress because bacteria in the lower GI tract eat the sugar t

At some workplaces they have to use a rapid antigen test. You need a positive PCR test to be in the official numbers.

Way too many confounders to draw that conclusion from the data. Vaccinated in Ontario are allowed to participate in a whole host of risky activities like going to gyms, dining at restaurants etc. that unvaccinated technically can't do.

The data broken down by age is less recent for some reason. Only goes to Oct 24. Edit: Disclaimer at the top of the page says technical difficulty.

That's just plainly not true, as a matter of government policy. There's a soft mandate in some settings like hospitals. Otherwise it's up to the employer, and there are tons of employers without policies.

It's not apples-to-oranges, it's apples-to-less-carefully-selected-apples. The Hoeg paper mentions a broader case-finding method, but "We otherwise maintained the specificity of our analysis by requiring the same objective fi

Your question would seem to imply you've used VAERS to inform yourself, but I would contend you've relied on someone else's interpretation of it.

by phonypc 5y ago
Different data sets. The sentence preceding your quote from the FDA estimates rates of 71.5 and 42.6 per million using VAERS, vs. the garbage paper's 164 and 92 per million. i.e. less than half the incidence. Regarding that other data

by phonypc 5y ago
VAERS is not the best information available by any means, but it is indeed a valid source of information. The issue with the paper is that it misuses the information and draws conclusions that aren't actually indicated.

No they don't. The study that article references is hot garbage. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/dumpster-diving-in-vaers-do...

That would seem to make sense if covid displaced flu entirely. But flu + equivalently harmful covid is twice as bad as historical flu.

Wiki seems to mostly cite books by a Mark S. Smith on this topic, who seems to be a professor of Biblical Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary. I'm not sure you could characterize him as an archaeologist inventing a narrative from

Only if you feed the pigs carrion and under cook it. There was a big trichinosis issue in the mid-20th century, which is when some people speculated on its connection to religious pork taboos, but nobody really takes that idea seriously any

Probably the way of the future, maybe ultimately for the better. But it's kinda viscerally disturbing that the article fawns over businesses not having to pay employment insurance or keep up with minimum wage increases, with no mention

Ya conflicting is maybe not the right word. Obviously within the narrative as a whole it's one god. I guess I'm trying to point out they were historically separate deities, so it's more like being called both Robert and Georg

That works for the various epithets, but El and Yahweh seem to be conflicting proper names. i.e. is your name Robert or George?

Sure, there would necessarily have to be pre-K-Pg avians for them to have been the only ones that survived. I just don't see how one could characterize surviving dinosaurs as non-avian in any way, but they apparently meant non-flying.
