Like, the first time I think you could make an argument that you were tricked into being on the show or they edited you to make you look way more credulous than you were when they were filming, but not when you show up like every other episode

A show can bring you in once for an interview and have enough content for seasons of episodes.

Don't get me wrong, Michio Kaku is a bit of a crank, but let's not be misled by the magic of television.

Isn't that his thing, though? To explain how the things we consider "out there" could theoretically be possible?

Physics is good but this derail has been going on for days. Someone should make a PYF thing about physics and drag this discussion over there because I’m sure it can support a thread of its own.

I looked up this FLCCC and it's kinda spooky because it looks legitimate at first glance and seems like an actual medical body with studies and poo poo. You can download the studies and read them and if you're not educated in what to look for you would be hard pressed to point out exactly why it's bullshit.


quote:

The largest RCT in hospitalized patients was performed concurrent with the prophylaxis study reviewed above by Elgazzar et al (Elgazzar et al., 2020). 400 patients were randomized amongst 4 treatment groups of 100 patients each. Groups 1 and 2 included mild/moderate illness patients only, with Group 1 treated with one dose 0.4mg/kg ivermectin plus standard of care (SOC) and Group 2 received hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 400mg twice on day 1 then 200mg twice daily for 5 days plus standard of care. There was a statistically significant lower rate of progression in the ivermectin treated group (1% vs. 22%, p<.001) with no deaths and 4 deaths respectively. Groups 3 and 4 all included only severely ill patients, with group 3 again treated with single dose of 0.4mg/kg plus SOC while Group 4 received HCQ plus SOC. In this severely ill subgroup, the differences in outcomes were even larger, with lower rates of progression 4% vs. 30%, and mortality 2% vs 20% (p<.001).

Like here, the study doesn't even have a proper control because you're administering one group one drug and one group another. There's also the weaselly way of saying that they randomized 400 patients when really they randomized two different populations of 200 twice (mild and moderate vs. severe symptoms) which is going to skew your numbers. But how do you explain that to someone who would drink sheep drench?

They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.

Yeah it's showing increased efficacy against HCQ but HCQ has been generally shown to not be effective, so that's confounding. An N of 200 isn't great but I guess it's better than a lot of P1 and FIH trials I've seen. I'm curious where this study was conducted and if they had any regulatory ethics approval,and what the minutes from that meeting looked like.

Supposedly the whole point of generalist education is to enable people to say "uh yeah so a dewormer is not going to be effective against a novel virus, stop being stupid" and short-circuit all this ludicrous second-level investigation because the smell test should have been enough

Ultimately this is an indictment of our education system which says a science honor student is one who knows who Rosalind Franklin was

Nah. Motivated reasoning tops education every time.

Ultimately, they're refusing the vaccine because The Democrats think it's something they should do. It's on the level of a 12-year-old refusing to do what his parents want him to do to prove how "independent" he is.

Does the vaccine turn you into a space marine because I wouldn't mind being a 9ft gigachad tbh, would offer good employment opportunities I think.

Something something covid vaccine something reproductive harm.

These are the same people who are afraid that it's going to make them sterile. "Oh no but what about your eggs/sperm life isn't worth living if you can't make a billion babies" is right at the top of all their dumb anti-vax reasons.
