Myocarditis is usually transient particularly post infection. These figures are roughly accurate especially considering that the symptoms are quite often mild as they also were via vaccination. There’s no real surprise here: aetiology of th

Your absurdist attempts aside, the important thing to consider with a prophylactic medication is the therapeutic index. Let’s take vaccines. Covid itself has a risk of harm of around 1:100 for older age groups of requiring hospitalisation.

Because a prophylactic means taking it regularly in order to avoid catching it, with the implication of the poster’s statement being that ivermectin, which carries significant risks when taken by a human at various doses, was the cause of t

No, it indicates exactly nothing. You’re talking about 1970e technology (ie when the computing power on Apollo was roughly a pocket calculator) vs how we will actually get there, a period during which nuclear reactor designs have also evolv

As per the other commenter, but also they have a 10 year development pipeline and 10 years ago some major rockstars started hitting the market (ipilumimab, traztuzumab ) which are anti cancer ones but many others also). These were essential

The side effects are significant. It comes with some risk of brain bleeds and a high risk of cerebral oedema in patients who have APOe4. This is an important genetic profile for those who understand Alzheimer’s, as homozygotes for APOe4 are

If you’ve deleted the app a number of times, does that mean you support/find the baseline functionality of the app useful? So even though they’re an outrage machine, you support the business model?

Don’t make the mistake of confusing the position of the people of a country with the position and views of a government/regime. Iran is a remarkable place with a highly educated population. Of course they’re nice and friendly and curio

I’m not saying it is or it isn’t. The thesis of the article is that it is, and the reasoning they provide is consistent with the definition of a ponzi scheme. So it’s consistent and your reasoning is no better than theirs until we have more

This is an absurd take on it. What you say is 'Mostly' true - in a bad flu season the medical community has a name for it, clearing out the dead wood. But 'Mostly', when scaled to really large numbers, is still a scarily

Did I or have I done that? I have no political skin in the game here

Feeling doesn't have anything to do with facts, as I pointed out to the other poster. However in a situation with very little in the way of actual verifiable facts, what is someone actually asking for in terms of something that will su

Of course not. But what does it add to the conversation in what is manifestly an out of control situation with terrible data all round. How do you respond to that when there are no good authorative sources, except Doctors reports, oxygen st

Everything regarding COVID is political which is absurd. I'm not indian or have any indian family but I am a Doctor and most of my lines of data come from the medical community reporting back

I'm just trying to understand how insensitive it is to comment on a thread where OP is clearly someone who has either suffered loss or has an entire network suffering loss, and then go full strong systemiser and ask for a reference. Th

Well the thesis per the article is that unless more cash keeps piling into tether in order to handle withdrawals then tether could collapse, which is pretty much the practical definition of a ponzi - don’t be the last one without a chair wh

This is absolutely not true in most countries. Where I practice you can get into big trouble for this. You have do declare pharma affiliations, cannot accept sponsorship and the age of junkets through drug companies is long in the past. I c

I’m aware of that. However the specific choice of amino acids can heavily influence the propensity to fold in a particular way. For example homozygotes for M129 have a much faster rate of vCJD development. Since Prion Diseases occur sporad

That’s not at all why drugs work quickly through the nose - it has absolutely nothing to do with nerve endings, it has everything to do with a large surface area of mucus membranes allowing quick uptake into the venous system.

I know a huge amount about the level of technical skill required to do something with mRNA. It’s involved today. But in many ways it’s less technically involved than (re)creating the horse pox vaccine from scratch. And in 20 years it could

I’m not so sure about the composting - the breakdown of organic material (well, protein in this case) in soils is largely brought about by proteases and proteases are largely ineffective

A nightmare scenario for me is the creation of mRNA coding for a misfolded PRNP being weaponised.
