‘…debating the willfully ignorant is a fool's errand. It's expensive and exhausting to have to disabuse people of patent bullshit they are attached to. You have to educate people who do not wish to learn and do not trust you.’ - Steve Albini
I know I’m yelling into the void…
Congratulations Michael Maher! A well-deserved Emmy win!

There are many “original” PCR tests for SARS-CoV-2; here is a few investigated: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article…. You’ll notice their high accuracy, so false positives are very few!
So I’m not sure where you get this (mis)information from…?
Testing comes first. Crossreactivity of 4B5 and poor sensitivity of the HercepTest on FFPE are misleading pathologists and the oncologists ordering the assays.
New drug development is 💯 needed & exciting for #MetastaticBreastCancer. But as we develop more ADCs w/ similar targets &/or payloads, we urgently need sequencing AND dose-optimization data. More options matter, but so does knowing which drug, for whom, in what order & at what dose. #bcsm #mTNBC @The_Right_Dose
It’s become painfully obvious Twitter algorithms boost and reward any engagement, and shrink the reach of anyone combating misinformation in replies.
The direct result of countering misinformation is amplifying it.
Health and safety be dammed as long as everyone keeps clicking. 🤦♂️

I can’t put the same plants in this area anymore. They can’t tolerate the heat or sun exposure like they used to.
Furin cleavage is not always cleavage. I suspect there are plenty claiming lack of selective pressures to drive evolution of FCS in sarbecoviruses.

Even if that isn’t true- the average person I went to high school with seems to be saying the same thing.
I remember how much you guys understood

It’s not surprising that’s your take on this. You’re looking for a legacy and trying to cling to relevance like the pathetic partisan you are and projecting those motivations onto others. Gross

Bunk analysis, results do not imply ever she says it implies.
Would never pass peer review for a legitimate scientific journal
Tonight @ICANdecide is releasing “An Inconvenient Study,” a video built around an unpublished Henry Ford Medical Center analysis that it says shows vaccines cause widespread childhood chronic disease.
In reality, the "Inconvenient Study" has multiple “Inconvenient Flaws” that prevent it from supporting that conclusion, or the framing provided by @ICANdecide and @AaronSiriSG
See my @ConversationUS article (link) for several of the most serious issues; more details in the thread linked below.

So here’s Alex Berenson falling for propaganda and arguing against one of the world’s leading infectious disease experts.
I hate this timeline.

This *perfectly* captures why exempting seniors from property taxes is such a ludicrous idea. Boomers are the wealthiest generation in America. They’re buying bigger homes than families working to support small kids. Why on *earth* should those younger taxpayers subsidize them?
Fascinating WSJ story showing that many Booomers are not only not downsizing their homes, they're instead upsizing and getting large ones. Empty-nest baby boomers own 28% of U.S. homes with three bedrooms compared with 16% for millennials with children.

No. The study does not test whether the vaccines cause deaths or whether they are safe. It tests an awkward convoluted hypothesis — not what it says it claims.
Given those data Hooker could have used interval based methods to simply test whether risk of SUId was increased immediately after vaccination or not — why did he not do that, but instead test this awkward convoluted hypothesis, and then why do you and others misinterpret the test?
