It the product of evolution. As a species we have to make decisions on imperfect and limited information all the time. If we were programmed to wait to figure everything out we would have died off ages ago.

People really haven’t really woken up to the reality that contact tracking, forced testing, and eventually vaccination will NEVER happen in the US, at least not in a consistent and effective way. A significant portion of the population won’

This is a stunning difference. In the US we had no excess mortality in March, in fact total deaths from all causes were down year over year. Cases didn’t peak in NY until April so we may see some increase after this month. I realize the U.K

Not even close. Flu killed 80K in the 2018-2019 season. https://www.statnews.com/2018/09/26/cdc-us-flu-deaths-winter... Projected deaths for COVID-19 are 70K through July.

TL:DR He is an expert in the HIV genome. Agrees with Indian scientists that the very specific sequences from HIV that are newly present in SARS Cov2 could only be inserted in a lab and would not occur naturally. He points out that the Wuhan

Actually Ivermectin has been studied for use on viruses for years and generally found effective. Most recently it was identified as successful treatment for Dengue Fever. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30452439 I

This information has been known for THREE WEEKS or more. It is criminal how overly conservative the FDA is being with potential COVID treatments, especially ones that have fewer side effects than Chloroquine. Ivermectin + Doxycycline was su

You are going to get a lot of derisive comments because this is only an in vitro study, but I think the most important part of this article is the aggressive approach Brazil is taking to try these treatments. We are so conservative in the U

The models developed thus for SARS-CoV-2 hardly inspire confidence. I am tired of looking at models.

Country with aggressive mitigation efforts versus a county with limited mitigation. Exactly what you would expect. It was a known trade off made by the Swedish government. Freedom and functioning society was valued more than the difference

Flagged for totally misleading headline! 36% of severely hospitalized patients in a small study of 234. A small number and in line with other illnesses that lead to pneumonia and ventilation. Secondary encephalitis is not unique to Covid-19

No I’m not accusing a specific person, I was pointing out that the US actually funded this research here domestically and the doctor went to Wuhan to continue her research when we closed the program as proof bat Corona virus was being studi

No one is being persecuted. It is correct to suspect. In a murder investigation the police start with those closest related to the victim. If money is missing from a bank vault you start your investigation looking at all those who had acces

Dr Shi Zhengli was working on bat Coronavirus research in the US and we closed the program down in the US in 2014 for being too dangerous. She returned to China to continue her research in Wuhan. Yeah. Just a coincidence.

Liberalism in a nutshell: Majority rule is tyrannical when they are the minority. But when they are the majority they are all for it. Keep the Senate. The House of Representatives is crazily radical regardless of who’s in charge. Liberals a

All indications are that COVID does not mutate like the flu, so preceding waves should be mild. Every flu season it’s one of many very different strains. Furthermore we have data from countries that have not locked down that show comparable

We have an excellent idea of how the disease progresses and what it looks like in countries that don’t isolate like Sweden. We will carry on and live with it, like we do with the flu. Mortality rate is .37% in Germany. Here in the US we are

Perhaps outside of the US. Forced vaccination would never be accepted here. If we can’t get people to vaccinate against diseases that spread faster with a higher mortality rate that also kill children, like measles and whooping cough, there
