@Clint0nAnders0n @harishmabish@jonjgallo@fordnation such a stoopid statement! All of the data clearly evidence that! Graph’s predominately show seasonality not evidence that lockdowns do much other than promoting variants.
No large, accredited, respected scientific and or government institution involved in the scientific endevour in the 16th century counter-indicates the earth is the center of the solar system.
Why do we need evidence again?
Maybe the downtown Toronto academic clique on the Science Table might want to invite a practicing ICU physician from Eastern Ontario like @kwadwo777 to help diversify its opinions and recommendations?
Science requires questioning and challenging widely accepted expert opinion.
If the evidence supports it, it will withstand scrutiny. If the evidence does not support it then it should be thrown out.
This is why freedom of speech is essential to both science and democracy
What I think of when I hear politicians saying they must "follow the medical experts" and the "models"
Medical science has progressed over the last century, not from better "experts" but because we started following the DATA and SCIENCE
Florida followed the evidence and the data that showed that schools are not a significant source of spread
We don't need experts to inform policy when we already have evidence
If we as a society are going to "trust the experts" and their modelling, then I think it's important that we have a discussion around conflicts of interest.
It's important to know who financially benefits from the fear generated by these models https://t.co/4WJATYMyGt
There is nothing controversial about recommending Vitamin D to treat COVID.
5.4% of patients treated with Vitamin D required ICU admission compared to 21.1% of controls.
6.5% of patients treated with Vitamin D died compared to 15% of controls. https://t.co/vivLbJqGNm
A comprehensive clinical study from Spain (https://t.co/4wFBQ471qs) showed that #VitaminD treatment significantly reduced ICU admission and mortality.
How much proof is still needed to convince those responsible to preventively provide the risk groups with Vitamin D?
