In reply to your dead answer: Your hypothesis is falsafiable, and has been falsified. It's conspiratorial thinking, plain and simple. [0], [1] No, I do not think it is strange that Vit D and NAC are not under a 'huge push'. T

Rather than just posing an open ended conspiratorial hypothesis that has no evidence (it is trivial for anyone to get hold of a vial and sequence the mRNA to actually test your absurd hypothesis) do you have a proposed endgame for ‘custom m

> the long term effects of mRNA "vaccines" are unknown entirely. This is just such an absurd scientific and immunologically ignorant answer that I see get trotted out again and again that I need to respond. The mRNA vaccine is

We still haven’t proven that amyloid plaques don’t have at least some level of responsibility. Just because we now have the ability to clear plaques, and it hasn’t lead to improvement, doesn’t prove that amyloid plaques aren’t involved

Quite possibly - however we haven't developed enough discerning power to differentiate between what may be a potential 'Alzheimer's Cluster' and say Fronto-temporal, Lewy Body, Vascular, etc etc.

which does nothing to explain why people with APP mutations such as found in fAd develop early onset Alzheimers. So the mystery of Amyloid and its role in dementias persists

The amyloid hypothesis is not dead - just like the tau hypothesis is not dead. The $1m question is what role do the proteins play and at what stage and to what degree

At this point, and reading your other replies, it really seems as though you’re just trying to justify a position you took which is not borne about by the factual evidence. The other day I read an article in the paper about a woman’s journe

It’s actually tardive dyskinesia (I assume you may have thought that the tardative stems from retarded as in intellectual disability). As far as I am aware, this movement disorder does not have any causal relationship with intellectual disa

Haloperidol is absolutely a powerful sedative (amongst its other effects). This isn’t a misplaced claim or hyperbole, it is used (and I have used it) to sedate agitated patients in hospitals. I mean, it actually sounds like you don’t really

Again, over the long history of both the ABC and BBC there has been a strong record of investigative journalism that has been critical of the government at times. The independence for these purposes has been enshrined in law and withstood s

You mean like how opposition politicians are on the governments’ payroll and their job is almost entirely to criticise the government? The government pays for lots of people who are not always friendly to them. Including judges, anti corrup

Minor parties and protest candidates already offer the mechanism for that in Australia, and preferential voting means those protest votes often make a meaningful difference

I’m not sure why this has been downvoted, this is a correct answer - it is possible to generate false positives by running too many cycles

… did you just respond to a statement about the reduction in morbidity and mortality from vaccines compared to infection with the virus… with a statement that says ‘use a vaccine?’

You have misunderstood the point I am trying to make. I’m aware he has said and been responsible for things that are pretty distasteful today, and potentially by a bunch of people in his day. That doesn’t nullify his contribution to history

Yes but OP’s whole spiel is about us having enough excess energy to do things like turn CO2 into feedstocks and currently we can’t do that (well at least in no way is it economically viable to do that), and the proportion of green H2 is tin

I didn’t intend to compare Churchill to Jobs or the others in terms of achievements, it was more a comment on criticism I have seen of him in the last year which nullifies all of his accomplishments on the basis of racist comments, which, h

I’m honestly confused by the points of view that hold that unless a person was/is as pure as the driven snow they deserve to be scrubbed from the history books. Jobs, Churchill, Gates, Musk - I don’t understand. It’s as if proponents o
