Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

Yes, indeed guys - keep commenting the ultra-lefts and do not bother about things you hardly understand. It's like I do comment the Super Bowl or the quality of Texas veal. ;D The war is the same as it was 3 weeks ago The war is horrible and going on. Covid is still killing people. But what else is...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II

While the divide and lack of decency between the vaxxers and unvaxxed was troubling at times, I think the above is a huge exaggeration. It's giving too much weight to an ultra-left position that us vaxxed centrists would have shot down. Do you think history validates this i.e. moderates prevent hor...

Re: cholesterol tests and significance of ferritin

1. Higher than optimal ferritin levels (but still below hemochromatosis levels) some people believe put one at increase risk of heart disease. There was a thread discussing this here ages ago. Men don't have any way to get rid of excess iron and giving blood for most people might not be a bad idea. ...

Frankly, I think we have a whole lot more to fear from the abandonment of these protections than we ever did from the coronavirus.
Hypothesis: most of this has nothing to do with medicine, this is just part of the larger picture, and history suggests there is room for considerable concern.

Re: Fact-checking Biden's town hall in Baltimore

You have to be joking right? Do you actually think Biden supporters would dare tell themselves that Trump was in office and therefore holds the majority of any success a President could take for the vaccines? Their cognitive dissonance is way too strong for that. For proof, see below: No, I don't e...

Re: Fact-checking Biden's town hall in Baltimore

To be fair, would any politician in existence give credit to the outgoing President of the opposing party for ordering those vaccines when they could take the credit themselves? Would most politicians really lie and take the credit themselves if the facts clearly said otherwise, and they felt that ...

Re: Are We Living Under Communism?

There are definitely socialists/communists pushing in that direction, but there are also those (e.g. the Clintons) who simply want power and control. They are aligned right now because their immediate goals are the same. The problem is that I can't tell which is which. Why the heck would the wealth...

Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan

I am sure the hospital's justification is that they want people to get vaccinated and for the hesitant, any one bad story a physician might share with them could scare them into not getting it. Or it could be that they just want the money from the vaccinations. Or that they are being required as pa...
