Thanks, I hate it.
I used to do some stuff, now I just do other stuff

@CobberYog BREAKING: investigation reveals your body has been manufacturing mRNA without regulatory approval for your entire life. Shut it down immediately.

@JudyBar17485571 We have Medicare, private insurance, private hospitals and private specialists operating alongside the public system. The existence of public waiting lists isn't evidence that universal healthcare doesn't work , it's evidence you haven't understood the system you're Googling.

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@l8deis So you told your neighbours that “mRNA is pure poison” despite clearly not understanding what mRNA actually is. Your own cells manufacture mRNA every second.

You're not “warning” people you're frightening them from healthcare using misinformation you don't understand yourself.

@TheReaLTBird26 anyways... your main point “Matching letterologies are not a coincidence.” Mate, GOVERNMENT also contains OVEN. By your methodology, taxation is clearly an elaborate plot by Big Bakery. This isn't etymology; it's a word-search puzzle with delusions of grandeur.

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@TheReaLTBird26 the word government derives through Old French from Latin gubernare to steer, direct or govern, ultimately from Greek kybernan, to steer. Mens/mentis is Latin for mind, but “-ment” in “government” isn't Latin for mind; it's a noun-forming suffix that came through French

@TheReaLTBird26 “I never get sick, therefore I'm basically a doctor” might be the finest demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect I've seen today. You don't have medical expertise. You have a sample size of one and Wi-Fi.

@AuriBlooms Needing exogenous estrogen because your testes were removed demonstrates the distinction you're trying to erase.

Your body doesn't naturally produce female typical estrogen levels, so medicine supplies them.

The medical need doesn't prove the biological claim

@JacquiDeevoy1 1. Gradually.
2. immunity increased through vaccination and infection,
3. WHO ended COVID's global emergency status in May 2023.
4. Different places at different times.
5. hospitals weren't being overwhelmed anymore.

Pandemics end epidemiologically, not with a closing ceremony

@RameseSanders My nipples would like a word.

As a man, I'm still waiting for medicine to reveal their critical operational role

Thankfully you've identified the medical establishment's “brainwashing” and by the most extraordinary coincidence, you also sell the alternative. How fortunate.

@Mohdoh_5 @LiveAncestral She sells a "holistic health service".

Insulin resistance is real and lifestyle intervention matters mainstream medicine already says both.

“Doctors lied about cholesterol” is the marketing narrative wrapped around the legitimate advice so she can make money.

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@LiveAncestral This is the strange internet habit of discovering one genuine risk factor and deciding all the others must be a conspiracy. Insulin resistance matters. So do LDL/ApoB, blood pressure, smoking, obesity, genetics and others. Cardiovascular disease isn't required to pick a team.

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@SamaHoole “Melanoma sometimes occurs where sunlight doesn't reach” no more disproves UV as a cause than “non-smokers get lung cancer” disproves cigarettes as a cause. Cancer is multifactorial. You're presenting exceptions to one causal pathway as evidence that the pathway doesn't exist

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@neco_arctic That's anthropomorphising the effects of hormone therapy. Transition can profoundly change phenotype and reproductive function, but “intended reproductive sex” isn't a biological category. I can respect your identity and rights without redefining the underlying biology.

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@neco_arctic Respecting someone and disagreeing with their interpretation of biology can coexist. Scientific questions aren't settled by whether the answer feels affirming.

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@neco_arctic I respect trans people and support their right to live with dignity and equality. But respect doesn't require us to accept every claim about biology. I can respect you, support your rights, and still acknowledge what the science says about biological sex.

[Barnacles @ItsBarnacles]

@neco_arctic Your sex-associated phenotype may have changed. That isn't the same claim as your biological sex changing. Hormones can modify phenotype; they don't create the opposite reproductive system. You're treating the conclusion as though it's contained in the premise.
