    I was presented with a raw assertion that India is on the Ivermectin bandwagon and based on what I found it is no longer true if it ever was. I also quoted some studies which showed no statistical difference in treatment outcomes with Ivermectin and without. So my raw assertion stands along with the fact that there is a larger number of obese in this country who probably insist that drinking Diet Coke gives them a positive outcome. So, to get those people, and the mass population, to adopt Ivermectin over a two shot vaccine is a fools errand.



    Show me some links to actual studies please. I've seen plenty of crap in video form on the internet.



    How did you know that I simultaneously own and work for Pfizer, Moderna, and Janssen selling my wares to any unsuspecting independent thinker getting them on the vaccine bandwagon with the knowledge that I'm protected from lawsuits from aforementioned suckers!!!!!!!!!!! BwahhahahahahaajrWE;KJHFASD'LK.

    Believe what you like. Each of your points can be, and have been, refuted or at the very least aren't as cut and dry as you want them to be. So go ahead and get on your bandwagon of getting everyone on a diet. Because that'll work.

    Evil bastard. Didn't even let any of us in on the ground floor either

    isn't the "difference" between 1 and 2.... 100%!!!!

    So you want to look at the "difference" between 2 and 5 rather than as presented... 2 and 5... per 100,000?
    In math class "the difference" may be part of an honest answer, but in real life the factor of 100,000 makes THE DIFFERENCE... and you know it FJ?

    your assertion was false.

    there are all the links to studies needed in the post,
    If you'd actually taken time to look rather than assume there are none you would have seen them.
    But here's one of the links embedded in the post before.

    “The death rate in a given country depends a lot on the age structure, who are the people infected, and how they are managed,” Ioannidis said.
    “For people younger than 45,
    the infection fatality rate is almost 0%
    .
    For 45 to 70, it is probably about 0.05%-0.3%.
    For those above 70, it escalates substantially.”
    Stanford University's disease prevention chairman Dr. John Ioannidis


    Vaccines Benefits vs Risk for those under 40 is basically ZERO.
    that is a fact.


    the case for vaccines as a "mass solution" is WEAK at best.
    (for a massive 'final solution' that remains to be seen)

    And it's the difference at the margins that makes all the impact. Medical costs are higher, covid patients are hospitalized, non-covid procedures are delayed, etc. Once things start going sideways then it's the difference that causes the problems. Start multiplying 100,000 times the population, times a difference of potentially 4... Let me know how that comes out because we've seen how various surges impact hospitals, etc.

    We have track records for other vaccines and track records of vaccines in general.

    A doubling, trebling, or quadrupling of the statistics may seem low if it's in the single digits but when you double something at the extreme it can make something even more critical. That's not a "game."

    I will take that question. I am fully vaxxed and I question the effectiveness of the vaccine. I am an engineer, I deal specifically with data. Data speaks volumes and anomalies in data should stand out be evaluated.

    In statistical process management and control you evaluate anomalous outcomes but not all outcomes mean you modify your processes. In the case of these vaccines, which only meet the definition of the term tangentially, nobody is even willing to honestly look at the outcomes because the government is squashing any effort to consider any kind of review.

    The modern left has control of the government and the media. Any question is immediately met with “the vaccines are safe and effective” as if any review is anathema and will poison the well from which we all drink. I have never seen a propaganda effort like this, ever.

    Twitter and Facebook immediately tag anyone asking a question or posting even a positive story with a propaganda tag about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. Something is afoot and the censorship and limitation of free discourse never comes from a good place.

    Since there is a lack of ability to question outcomes nobody really knows WHAT the outcomes are at this point.

    I'm definitely not one to argue the specifics of statistics but I think what we have shows that they have been effective. Not that being vaccinated kept me from getting it but I think people who do get it fair better than not. I won't argue that they government and big media goes to far in advocating, or suppressing, but I will argue that there are those way to the other end of the spectrum that do essentially the same thing. Where's the reality? Somewhere in the middle as with many things but our tribalistic ways these days do not allow meaningful discussion.

    So I'm on the net positive side of things and one of the links I saw in one of these threads mentioned that epidemiologists predicted, with viruses generally, that they mutate into less severe and more easily transmittable variants. I think that is playing out and hopefully will continue to and I'm hoping, predicting, that come summer time it will become common policy to just deal with covid as with any other virus that plagues us. I think the vaccine will end up being a useful bridge from the severe to the less severe.
