There's at least one RCT on masking w.r.t. covid that finds no statistical benefit. I don't think it's appropriate to reference modeling as evidence after we have thorough studies published. https://www.acpjournal

You're not arguing in bad faith. You're being gaslit by someone who has already devolved to name calling in this thread.

I don't think anyone was trying to do anything other than "score points off the FDA" - which is to say, you apparently agree the article is a good source for showing the FDA has had obvious failures in the past. > ...you s

It really is disheartening to see such willful political bias. The article in question spends much of its time talking about the "ACT UP" movement, which was a movement headed by LGBQT political activists marching against the FDA,

Centralization is a surefire way to fail at pandemic response. You will necessarily be pressuring the wrong intervention measures on people who don't want them when they could stand to intervene in a better way for their own region and

You didn't mention any negative effects of approaching vitamin D overdose, did you experience any or was this simply a concern of your doctor?

I'm hugely pro-crypto and I think this guy is being led astray by promises from coins that are incentivized to generate hype and not punished when they don't deliver. I think firstly crypto has to become money and I think that&#x2

Most (any?) smart contract platforms can theoretically bake in a concept of proxy upgrading or even decentralized governance over triggering the proxy into an upgraded contract. Sure it's complex now, but this is still very very new te

I find this line of thinking somewhat short sighted. Animals in the wild will almost certainly die more agonizing deaths than they would at the hands of humans. Would you rather a cannibal kill you with one cut to the throat or would you ra

Ransomware might end up costing in the hundreds of billions a year (according to some random security blog I googled just now, point is there's a lot of money at risk here). Are you implying that without an easier way to move wealth ar

Ransomware predates crypto. It does not rely on crypto, crypto just has some superior characteristics which make it attractive to both legal and illegal ventures. Criminals regularly adopt new tech faster than businesses as they are natural

how did you read this article and somehow come to the conclusion that ivermectin doesn't work for covid-19?

by toolz 5y ago
ivermectin is a generic drug now, the profits are squeezed down to nearly nothing due to competition and it's being mass produced in many places.

The CDC estimates that _at least_ 30% of all anti-biotic prescriptions are inappropriately prescribed. I'd wager an over-prescription of Ivermectin (that by some unknown characteristic appears it would save massive numbers of lives) is

The real story (in my opinion) behind Ivermectin are the studies not being conducted. Here you have a ton of studies claiming to have found benefit with a worldwide, massively available drug that has practically zero risks for most people (
