It worked fantastically because the drugs are in wide use and discovered in China and grown in China. (Europe is making synthetic stocks of it in a sort of ironic making a cheap clone of China grown product but it all is good because the stuff works)

There seems to be a number of studies done and the active ingredients are not unknown and have been well proven to work. Its just a reformulation that isn't approved by the FDA or EU equivalent but probably is in China.

Artemisinin the active ingredient isn't some unknown thing everyone is using it for anti-malaria and the WHO even has an articles recommending against taking low does (tea format or otherwise) versions of it. High dose drugs are the preferred route and the WHO is just upset China didn't rely on them for approval but…

They have done safety testing and this is a combination of already existing drugs that have been tested as well. The drug is newer than some malaria drugs that have been around for ages. What is new here is the scope of administration with the goal of eradicating malaria in an entire country. I don't know a great deal…

I think it downplayed the terror and betrayals through life and the consequences of realizing that while you thought you were the hero that you are not. That there are no heroes or villains in real life just people who are going through the same type of shit as you are.

Artequick is combination of two well known and used drugs. Both Artemisinin derivatives and quinolone derivatives are commonly used to treat falciprum and vivax malaria. Art derivatives are generally well tolerated as well as the quinolone derivatives except for certain patients susceptible to hemolysis. This isn't…

It terms of statistical power and validity of experimental data on the efficacy of a medical treatment, a large number like this is very good. But this is of course speaking from a purely cold logic analytical standpoint. From a human being standpoint, its highly unethical, especially if existing proven treatments…

If the govt agreed and people went for it, with the risks explained, then I don't see anything wrong in this.

Imagine how utterly stupid our higher ed system would be if we designed it to "make a small number of billionaires." Those who wind up billionaires are almost always going to be products of things way beyond the domain of any practical higher education, and I'm not entirely sure why we fixate on the educational…

I have long believed that "institutions of higher learning" are now stifling the creative and brilliant endeavors that youth could be pursing if they were not stuck in courses designed to be in accordance with "accreditation standards" created to make an industry out of learning institutions and driving up the costs…

Sure you can lead a meaningful life without a primary sense. But that's not to say that everyone can lead a meaningful life if losing a primary sense.

"I know he looks a little different, son, but he's still a good kid. Doesn't say a lot, no, but he seems nice enough. Use your manners, be friendly, and you never know; you might end up being good friends! Trust me...I had some weird friends back in the day, too."

First things first: Ew.

Flesh eating diseases rank pretty high for me. They are often contagious and your are literally slowly being eaten alive.

After I've already been on the line for two hours after explaining fifteen times to them that "my home network is absolutely fine, and I'm qualified to make that assessment, they must have disconnected something while they were installing a cable internet connection to my next door neighbor, which is exactly when mine…

What exactly is a "rogue contractor"? That connotation seems to imply that he intentionally went off on his own and means to cause either damage or harm. The NY Post's language is very different: "A giant drill bit nearly skewered an F train packed with passengers when an MTA contractor missed its mark" Sounds more…

So you're telling me someone got suspended for 20 days over articulating and sounding like a robot, but it's perfectly fine for someone that barely speaks English to answer my calls?

Rogue Contractor:
