Re: Died Suddenly
Yes, the age-range filters are very interesting. The 24-44 year olds had a big jump in excess mortality for about 7 months starting in July 2021. Is there any explanation for that? When did the covid vaccines roll out? It's a good thing they got the vaccine, because obviously covid was a big proble...

Re: Died Suddenly
To be clear, I'm certainly not anti-vaxx or vaxx hesitant for that matter. Also to be clear, I do not want to reopen the board Covid wars. My intent was to post something I had read a week or so back. And, to simply say covid is a virus like flu is a virus, at a basic level their behaviors are the ...

Re: Died Suddenly
Do you know whether the four people in your office who died received the boosters in addition to the original two shot vaccine? Including the most recent "bi-valent" booster? My PCP seemed to be a little skeptical about the need for the most recent booster, but we didn't have a long conve...

Re: The Twitter Files
There is nothing prohibiting US government officials from "leaning" on people or entities. Happens daily, as it does in the corporate world. Whether or not a law is broken is based on how the lean is done. Savvy senior government officials know where that line is and don't cross it...quite...

The two tweets in question were allegations that the voter registration system was owned and operated by "foreign actors", a claim which has yet to be proven, at least at the standard required by the courts. The Fantasy Island series ran for 7 years. Here's to 2023 and the show going off ...

I don’t want Tortoise or Kriegs to think all people who support Ukraine and more specifically the idea of us arming Ukraine as vacuous “Russia bad / Ukraine good” and “I support the current thing” non-thinkers.

If we are going to move the ball forward in time, let's start talking corruption again...and you may want to read up on his life and times while in power. A little accidental Dioxin poisoning of your opponent in a close election never hurts either.
