Some virologists say that the new evidence pointing to the Huanan market doesn’t rule out an alternative hypothesis. Namely, they say that the market could have just been the location of a massive amplifying event, in which an infected person spread the virus to many other people, rather than the place of the original spillover.
I guess "Some virologists" just aren't worth listening to.
Why can't he be mad like me about America giving bioweapon research jobs to China? And getting ripped off by a chest cold that only kills fat people? It's bullshit!
"confirmation bias is the tendency to process information by looking for, or interpreting, information that is consistent with one's existing beliefs".
Minus: I guess "Some virologists" just aren't worth listening to.
The title of the article is "Wuhan market was epicentre of pandemic's start, studies suggest". You looked for (and quoted) a paragraph from the article that "is consistent with your existing beliefs". The definition of confirmation bias.
Fact check: Low body fat, healthy lifestyle do not prevent COVID-19. "From all of the evidence so far, it does seem that being healthier will reduce your risks of severe outcomes, perhaps considerably. But some folk who appear very healthy can get severe COVID or die from it. Being normal weight does not protect you".
You lied when you said your wife needs medicines developed by science to live? If not, why would you pay for these medicines if you do not believe they do anything?
Indeed she does, but lung cancer isn't Covid. It's a subject that's been around long enough to actually have some scientific answers that aren't pure hypotheses anymore (like Covid).
You wrote "Science doesn't have answers". You didn't write "Science doesn't have answers about covid". I responded to what you wrote. Both comments are wrong, in any case.
Science is "a process" which yields no "answers" until the process has ended. In the case of Covid, the process has just started. In the case of my wife's cancer, it is over. The cure has been found and proven.
Operation Warp Speed sounds like bigly "leading" to me. Also remember predisent donald OWNED the lockdowns. And he received an monoclonal antibody treatment. Despite the fact that monoclonal antibody treatments also received emergency use authorization. Just like the vaccine and booster donald later allowed to be injected into his body.
And didn't you claim Fauci was killing FL residents when the FDA said desantis couldn't waste any more government money by giving the experimental treatments away for free (because they don't work against omicron)?
btw, the vaccines have saved lives. Saving lives using the weapons you have is far preferable to allowing people to die (Minus FJ's preference). If his wife's only chance to live was an experimental treatment would Minus have pulled a Gingrich?
Okay, show me someone dying of Covid that was saved by a squirt of "vaccine" in their arm. Why don't hospitals just jab every fat ass on a ventilator and get them jumping out of bed like a Peter Popoff holy seizure?
The vaccines haven't saved anyone that was ever in mortal danger. Just stop.
We're talking a small demographic though. Most people who get Covid, vaxxed or not, aren't going to die from it. In fact, the risk of dying from Covid is so remote that estimating a number of people "saved by the vax" is absurd, just by the fact that most people who get Covid don't even get sick from it, much less die.
COVID-19 continues to be a leading cause of death in the U.S. in August 2021. COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death across most of 2020, but in December 2020 and early 2021, the illness surged and briefly became the number one leading cause of death in the U.S., far surpassing even cancer and heart disease deaths in those months.
Influenza was associated with a seasonal average of 24.7 all-cause excess deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, approximately 90% of which were among seniors over 65 yrs. Excess mortality was 3-6 fold higher during seasons dominated by the A (H3N2) subtype than seasons dominated by A (H1N1)/B. High excess mortality impact was also seen in children under the age of four years.
...yet only 12 kids died from "influenza" over the last two years. Hmmmm....
Journal of the American Medical Association: The unexpected but welcome plummeting of influenza cases during the COVID-19 pandemic "certainly showed that many of the social-distancing things we were doing were very effective", Vanderbilt University School of Medicine infectious disease and health policy professor William Schaffner, MD, said in an interview.
On top of mask wearing, social distancing, and handwashing, Schaffner noted, most international travel was halted and many countries closed schools, keeping children — "the great engine of the distribution of influenza virus" — at home and away from each other.
Ever = always. And I don't eat at restaurants.
ReplyDeleteCherry-pick away!
ReplyDelete...at least until all confirmation bias' get confirmed.
ReplyDeleteWill Minus FJ ever follow the science?
ReplyDeleteSo now you're back to being racist about Chinese food.
ReplyDeleteNever mind that Covid isn't passed by eating...
ReplyDeleteGet some science, Derpy.
Dervy= confirmation bias on steroids.

ReplyDeleteIt mostly kills people who watch CBS News.
ReplyDeleteCovid was manufactured.
ReplyDeleteThe point is, Dervy, that the Science doesn't have answers... yet you act as if it does. The answer that only you want to hear.

ReplyDeleteScience "itself" has no answers. Answers only materialize once the science is done/over.
ReplyDeleteScience is a process which yields answers. Though the answer can be refined or can change. The process is never done/over.
ReplyDeleteScience is the reason you will never see a poem as beautiful as a tree
ReplyDeleteWe "follow" the science. You keep trying to "lead" it.

What's a dude that wants to use the wrong restroom know about science anyway?
ReplyDeleteWhy would donald tRump want to use the women's restroom? A pussy grabbing opportunity?

ReplyDeleteShow me someone dying from Covid that got better from a squirt of antifreeze and syphilis in their bicep.
ReplyDeleteNumber of people who have received a squirt of antifreeze and syphilis in their bicep = zero.
ReplyDeleteOkay, show me someone dying of Covid that was saved by a squirt of "vaccine" in their arm. Why don't hospitals just jab every fat ass on a ventilator and get them jumping out of bed like a Peter Popoff holy seizure?
ReplyDeleteThe vaccines haven't saved anyone that was ever in mortal danger. Just stop.
:P
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to get a second or third jab of syphilis if you can prove you've developed myocarditis (on your own dime)
ReplyDelete"The U.S. COVID-19 vaccination program has prevented an estimated 1.1 million deaths and 10.3 million hospitalizations" :P
ReplyDeleteJust stop = what you should do. You clearly have no idea how vaccines work.
What's the difference between an estimated death and a real one?
ReplyDeleteReal deaths haven't been stopped by the "vaccine."
ReplyDeleteThe real deaths are almost all anti-vaxers.
ReplyDeleteJust gotta test that theory by jabbing that shit into the bicep of someone dying from Covid.
ReplyDeleteBut let them know you're giving them an antifreeze and syphilis cocktail first. Informed consent and all that.
ReplyDeleteWe're talking a small demographic though. Most people who get Covid, vaxxed or not, aren't going to die from it.

ReplyDeleteThey should have just let Bill Gate's genetically modified mosquitos vaccinate everyone....
ReplyDelete:P
ReplyDeleteWe'd only have to ban pesticides and mosquito nets and then purposely try and get a mosquito bite every other week...
ReplyDelete"...the risk of dying from Covid is so remote..."

I'm sure that ever since Covid happened, there are no longer any flu case deaths. The cure for influenza was obviously "Covid".

Measures we took to curb the transmission of COVID were much more effective against influenza because influenza is less transmissible.
