@DanWolken Playing tennis one semester isn't really a "college tennis product" in any meaningful way.

@bowtied_op @Camp4 @ccmembersonly there are tons of ripped pro tennis players actually. There aren't many overly muscle bound tho as it's dead weight

@geauxt17 Nicotine use is high there tho, the point being it was a good proxy for isolating the effect of non smoked tobacco nicotine on a population re COVID.

@QuincyAvery student athletes were HIGHLY paid/compensated labor, friend.

If they were to finance the cost of school, board, food, training, etc.. it would cost over $500K per varsity football athlete.

@geauxt17 how do you really know anything?

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@AndrewEcker829 @VigilantFox You're literally imagining an effect that has not shown up in global outcome databases.

If there are any contemporary best practice guidelines arguing for therapeutic nicotine as standard of care tx for COVID I've not seen it.

@BritniDWrites @grok explain the differences to Britni why Virginia's redistricting plan was blocked and Alabama and California's were upheld by SCOTUS

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@jlsHouston @VigilantFox Evidence of what?

They have pretty good outcome data to look at with nicotine use in COVID.

There's no certainty, but there's just not much to support it as protective or therapeutic and there is some morbidity of nicotine effects about just using it on hospitalized patients

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@geauxt17 The #'s from Scandanvia aren't fudged though. Literally just outcome data from federal registries with matched controlled groups with and without nicotine use

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@Zwxsh arguably yes. Medvedev would be close

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@ggreenwald It's that Platner's behavior is just more "tacky" and he doesn't have the charisma that Clinton or Trump had to pull it off being excused.

That said, there's a lot more fires brewing with Platner's background apparently. Dems are dreading what's coming & trying to get ahead

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@geauxt17 Why would you suggest published data from Nordic countries public health data would be manipulated on this issue? That's getting into tin foil hat territory

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@jlsHouston @VigilantFox This observation (originally from China) was examined and it didn't hold up under scrutiny. There is currently no good evidence for nicotine to be a preventative or therapeutic agent for COVID

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@buffahodl @Enzo_Purrari @VigilantFox 🧐Nicotine is actually not recommended as a treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS), and current evidence does not support its use.

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@AllanKirkhart touch grass.

the data DID speak. Nicotine doesn't appear to be protective in a measurable way, and smokers in particular fared worse on aggregate (as you'd expect)

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@wil_da_beast630 That's really never been true in human history.

Life was cheap, but they did often distinguish on the price of killing someone else (the Wergild or similar)

@Mansplainer_One Would suggest you read the Cochrane Group for a dispassionate and unbiased review of this by a panel of expert reviewers.

@Belalzfr Clearly that match was affected by Fonseca 's fatigue tho. They both had been severely drained. Mensik's serve was a shell of itself as well

[The Notorious R.O.B. @robolivermd]

@geauxt17 The data on outcomes from non smoking nicotine users came from Scandinavian countries.

The thought nicotine was protective came observationally in China. It didn't not hold up to scrutiny though & it's no longer believed to have protective effect
