It is particularly true. And too many armchair academics are painting HCQ in a bad light when it is an immensely important and safe drug. > Medicine also isn't in the "we recommend it because there aren't many reasons agai

I see. Sorry I didn't complete the idea when "owning wealth" was used. I own money in a bank account. But I see now what he/she meant.

How so?

His reason for recommending not wearing masks was "to save PPE capacity for frontline medical workers". Not any of reasons he gave at the time. This is a definition of ulterior motive. I'm not making a judgement whether he wa

PCR positive doesn't mean infected. You'll need an high amount in PCR, i.e. low cycle threshold for the probability to be high. Antigen tests will show if there was/is an infection. PCR does not show infection only presence.

Nope, but for masks, overwhelming evidence exists prior to 2020. Just because you don't understand how this virus spreads does not mean that we need a new trial before we can make a recommendation.

HCQ is a very safe medicine.

Masks and the way this virus spreads isn't new. New medicines, requiring trials are novel. Golden eggs and apples shouldn't be compared. What new data has finally come in that has shown that masks do not slow the spread or that th

Yes, except Fauci was against masks because of fake science, I mean because of supply. I.e He lied. (And has admitted it was because of supply). https://www.thestreet.com/video/dr-fauci-masks-changing-dire... And most

PPE was recommended for people dealing with Covid positive. Fauci lied (and admitted to it) that masks weren't effective and suggested that the average person should not wear them. To be fair, I heard the whole medical community here (

We have immense testing capacity in the U.S. where's the lack?

The CDC is not the man on the street. The man on the street can distrust an institution that suggests something unscientific when they are requesting trust from the public. Doesn't matter if said man on the street thinks the earth is f

I am appalled that he lied and owned up to it later. But from his perspective (and it may have been not just his choice) what were the alternatives if his goal was to preserve frontline medical workers? (Regardless if this policy actually s

As a kid I couldn't see the political motivations and BS the media was peddling. Rose-tinted corneas slowly fading over time the more I could argue and see nuance.

If they haven't been proven to be infected why should it matter?

I think this depends on the field. If you're working 5+ years at a postdoc earning no money that time would have probably been better spent in industry.

And I agree with you that it's the right thing to do. But saying it will work better is probably not true. Except maybe if you include a line like: "were not going to ask you for a 5 star review like others do, but reviews really

You're responding to someone that agrees with you. But also states that everyone else is review-farming and that if they don't do it they will be left behind. I.e. your plan is doomed to fail.

You can go anywhere safely. You can also go anywhere recklessly, or what reckless people call "having some fun". Does that clear up your misunderstanding?

I can't stop everyone else from driving drunk but I sure can exhibit self control and not speed or drive dangerously as to endanger others just because I want to have some fun. Just because you're not a drunk doesn't mean you

You're taking negative actions by some and applying it to a class. I'm simply stating that they are negative actions by some. If that didn't come across, here it is.

> Humans aren’t that different. This is true, except when it's not. Then it really matters. I do agree some in this thread are exaggerating a little.

The monolith? Or the few who had people with lapses in judgement? Are you saying corporate structure in the law causes these actions?

Yes, with a specifically chosen image.

Ah, so those who responded to you were correct in their assessment? Be honest about it before you start asking questions to trap the person you're asking. It goes a long way.
