Yes but conspiracy theory as defined by whom? For instance, a critical examination of suggestions of such by uncited agenda-driven folk who work for social media companies, is recommended. Of course tons of nutty theories abound that have

Criminals not very bright? If this is true there seem to be an awful lot of bright ones in Britain. "A suspect was charged in 7.8% of crimes recorded in England and Wales in the year to March 2019, down from 9.1% the previous year&quot

Yes, particularly (I suggest) Kendricks' comment on the Merck Vioxx scandal: "- the point that I want to highlight from this sorry tale is that it is estimated that Vioxx caused 100,000 additional heart attacks, in the US alone, a

Completely agree. The benighted nations exploited by the British could have done without them introducing the British legal system giving people far more rights than they had ever had before. Could have done without the road and rail syste

Do you happen to have a link that points to recorded weather data for the last century that puts numbers alongside your undoubted anecdotal experience? As noted in other comments, here in Transylvania I've seen no such thing. Indeed ho

Complete protection? Does this mean that the reports of deaths following fully vaccinated people are incorrect or does this skin patch provide some extra protection sufficient to warrant the word 'complete'?

Just page images? No, Czur software with its OCR generates searchable pdfs and Word or Excel files with no further input. With careful attention to the scanned area, it's easy to get .xlsx files needing zero or minimal editing. The oth

I know it's obvious but this isn't 'capitalism in practice' so much as a reflection of the moral considerations (or maybe lack of them) in the top executives who run a company. Profit-Max is not always and necessarily th

As you say, antibodies != protection necessarily. And asymptomatic people don't have antibodies from the start though they do after infection albeit without symptoms. They do have T-cells which offer protection in these cases. But the

I don't think you can think too much. But thinking un-aligned with reality gets bogged down sooner or later. Sadly it tends to be later with some of the more grandiose & expensive schemes people dream up for the rest of us.

So the question is, who was writing the code and why were they so evidently incompetent? Easy for anyone to pick up a bit of R and start working with it. Thus it's hardly surprising to find the situation you describe. Why weren't

Interesting suggestion. No disrespect intended for Dr. Curry but is an 'expert' required (and of what kind?) to merely repeat the implications of the Wells story of the Time Machine from 1895? No additional evidence is adduced. It
