@EvanSGU @EYakoby Disgraceful from a Rogue of high esteem. Much hate here, can children be consenting terrorists? Are they pre-condemned to death for existing? Has really tainted the @SkepticsGuide for me, sounds like a nazi from 1930, can you not see any parallels? Seek help before you descend
@_DKleine@joerogan@JohnCleese In Australia it was the Murdoch press that lobbied the govt for similar law to prop up falling news revenues of their monopoly
This is the most deeply disturbing thread about our twitter mate @McShayne2011 being raided this morning and assaulted by @nswpolice "terrorism unit" allegedly for tweets he made criticising Israel.
Tweets.
We're going down the rabbit hole here @LawyerAdamHouda
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Haha not a waste at all, you always were a most worthy sparring partner and I agree with a lot of your positions. But this is healthy and should be in person.
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez What point are we actually debating ? why the need for conspiracy ? How many ppl would be needed for this conspiracy to work ? Big pharma , big gov around the world, china /usa / all or most scientist or virologist.
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Was the infection rate higher but the death rate lower because vax and ending lockdowns ? maybe this could account for the figures ? Did we have the jab in may 2020 ? Or did more people get infected and a smaller percentage died resulting in higher figures. 1/2
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez I'm sure people get triggered by all the excess deaths, and the change forced in their lives as well. Probably deserve charitable judgement as do we all. But why debate it on a podcast against someone who makes demonstrably false claims (eg wifi)
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Non controversial!! But That's capitalismยฎ for you ! Would they have made the investment otherwise as per your reasoning or did govs just try and get it rolling asap, warp speed as Trump said.
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Is that low number due to lockdowns ? Who can say , but what is the current Qld covid figures ? Again maybe lockdowns were the least worst choice available
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez 100% agree it is iterative and always open to something that better fits the data. The political problem is what to do if we don't have complete data, are we paralysed? To make the decision is unenviable. But do we know the alternative ? Precautionary principle may be legit
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Maybe less correct is more apt. You can build a bridge or get to Venus with Newton's laws but you can't explain mercury. Relativity supplanted it as less incorrect and is still chugging along. It didn't supplant it as much as refine it
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez People ruin everything, we can all agree on that. Unfortunately science is done by people and inherits our taint on the way. Least worst system though imho
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Do you have a meta analysis handy ? The issues with data manipulation (of blots) is wild. EliZabeth bike is a good follow if interested in that.
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Again I'm more inclined to be cynical and think this is a ploy by trumpists to split the the dem vote, in conjunction with rand corp and Russia etc. It's a good ploy but maybe I'm a fantasist. But the pic with stone, Bannon etc really sticks with me. Who benefits ?1
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Definitely the Illuminati in conjunction with the reverse vampires and the rand corporation. But jokes aside I agree, again who pays . Who benefits. Don't get me defending pharma on moral grounds haha
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez 100% agree. But the forum is via experiments/data analysis in peer reviewed journals (which have multiple issues as you would agree , eg pay to play, p hacking, junk journals etc). But like democracy it is the least worst system we have come up with so far.
@Sheahan_J@PeterHotez Against non vaxxed and non covid ? Or against infection with covid. As far as I know the rate was 2x background for vax and 15x vs infection. Covid being a vascular disease (again as far as I know, happy to be wrong)
