The “religiously opposed” can fuck right off because superstition does not give you the right to endanger other people’s health.

“anti-vaccine Facebook groups have been influencing members to not seek hospital treatment for covid-19 and even instructed them to pull their sick family members out of ICU”

Meta-analyses are valid but, as Ed points out, it is definitely a garbage-in garbage-out process. Meta analyses have to be extra careful because the analysts haven’t collected the data themselves. If nothing else, the authors should have been aware that one study was heavily skewing their results.

Maybe someone called and offered her a Herman Cain Award?

Some people… believe that ivermectin is a highly effective covid-19 drug that has been kept away from the public at the behest of Big Pharma.

Notably, the authors of the Brazilian and Iranian studies have so far refused to make their patient data available to anyone else.

All religious exemptions to public health issues are bullshit and I don’t care if you are a Roman Catholic, a Fundamentalist Christian, or a Reformed Zoroastrian.

Not sure if you are asking these questions in good faith, but they have absolutely run a clinical trial and the data you are asking about exists.

The wild card in Florida is DeSantis, a known idiot.

Near as I can tell, there are about 30 million kids in the US in this group and about 20 million under the age of 5. That would mean that well over over 90% of Americans would be eligible for the vaccine and that would be a big deal.

Letting MAGAts “upload” all their “stuff” to “whatever the fuck this is” also rings strongly of Ryan setting up a Word document on Creed’s desktop that he thinks is a blog, or setting up a blog for Trump that he thinks is a social media app.

They haven’t gotten the vaccine yet, they’re doing their own research.

This sprang to mind, a letter written by Evelyn Waugh to his wife;

Please make an attempt not to be a fucking moron. None of those things are contagious and virtually all of them are already penalized in several ways. Not least of all through higher health insurance premiums, which costs companies more. That’s why many large corporations have wellness initiatives for employees.

Someone should do a documentary on these ancient times in gaming. I’d like to learn more about this era and how it encouraged people to build their careers in programming and game development. 

Everybody is going to get sued on this one. Even if he survives, they will sue just because he was sick. He will lose but, as I tell my brother the lawyer all the time, my goal in this situation is not to win a lawsuit. It is to not have to spend two years of my life being sued.

As a nurse I’d be in contempt because I would refuse to administer the drug, I wouldn’t trust the stupid ass wife to not sue everyone’s ass when he more than likely dies and my judgement would be called into question for administering it. If no physician at my facility, even the hacks I wouldn’t let touch me if I were…

Dear America,

COVID is not a worm. Viruses are not worms. Worms are larger and more treatable than viruses.

It must have been weird for him to show up in this film, knowing that just 14 years earlier he would star in the first LOTR film. 

I would also argue that many trolls behave more civilized offline where they can get punched in the face.
