Straw man
I understand straw men. I don't understand your comment.
No one is saying we need a 10-year global study from Harvard. Just that there shouldn't be endorsement of certain drugs as treatments. I have no issue with doctors trying off label stuff since there isn't an approved treatment. I take issue with people making definitive claims without evidence
My mention of a "10-year global study from Harvard" is the definition of hyperbole. The fact that you seized on that and called it a straw man, while ignoring my actual point, is telling, but not surprising.
I made no mention of off label use by doctors on a case by case basis only that we should not consider drugs a treatment until it has gone through a RCT. That's how medicine has worked for a while now. Do you not like that? Is that what you take issue with? Making sure a drug works before approving it for a treatment?
Talk about a straw man. Good grief. I've stayed off of this thread up until now and at this point I think I'll bugger off again, like @texdawg.
I'll take that as a yes. Good to know people disagree with foundational principles of medicine. Im finished with the snake oil salesmen constantly pushing crap in this thread.
You are the one who brought in one specific vitamin D expert for the purpose of discrediting on the basis of some completely off topic child abuse storyline. Then you link up three articles, the last two of which are generic and really only touch on not taking too much. I had to chuckle about linking comments from a dermatologist regarding staying out of the sun to avoid skin cancer. Groundbreaking, and relevant. And then there’s Dr Carroll. As he kept rattling off his list of items Vit D won’t help, I kept saying to myself how I had never heard of any of them as a reason to take vitamin D.
The best was determining vitamin D...WON’T PREVENT YOU FROM FALLING DOWN???
Who funded that study? Life Alert?
@Kasey Now that NY is reopening, have you been to any bars yet for a beer? I read the other day where Cuomo had ordered you must order food in order to order alcohol - very orderly, huh?
Now he has stated that chicken wings do not count as food. The Governor has ruled the food served needs to be something “substantial”, like a sandwich. He further stated that if these rules aren’t followed, he will again close them down to prevent the spread of covid.
LOL. No chicken wings, but a PBJ or grilled cheese is fine.
I can’t wait to hear about the menu items bars are going to start adding to comply. How about an open faced celery sandwich with a side of chicken wings?
@Kasey is in Minnesota right now
live look at bank looking for his next covid “scoop” this AM.
don’t be afraid to get some sleep homeboy haha
If Cuomo is doing that, I’m sure he’s being overly cautious and erring on the side of safety after seeing Texas and Florida’s case count rise so high after reopening (ALLEGEDLY!!!!!)
So ridiculous it’s actually funny.’The last of the families I knew (raised in ATL area) that were living in NYC are gone now. Packed up and left because of COVID. Same with friends in California. Average Joe’s (and Jane’s) have had enough. 2020 census will be interesting
Here is what Fauci really thinks of masks last night at the baseball game.
Who is that with him?
Two other people that tested negative hours before the game. CONSPIRACY
I show below the Month data for June and July to date:
You can see in June there was only 1 of the "Top 10" states at 15% or higher. July so far 7 of the 10 meet that criteria. The combined total at 12.9% is over 50% higher than June. The sub-total for Cases and deaths are considerably higher in 23 days versus the 30 in June.
As you see the daily totals from yesterday the situation continues to get worse with 3 of the states (not counting MS) are over 20% positive tests on new subjects.
One actually appears to be his wife. Maybe the other is his pitching coach who is just wearing his mask as part of his witness protection agreement. 🤣
I guess your point is that masks aren't necessarily as important for them since all three tested negative before the game?
If they tested negative before the game.....wouldn't that be with the fast test that I was specifically told by you and denman weren't very accurate?
And I was told that my company was "cheap" for using the fast test......
Seems like a mask would still be important.
Sounds like a "cavalier" response to me.
Depending on which PCR setup you are using it can be like an hour to and hour-and-a-half to actually run the test. I'm sure they used the PCR test since they have all the equipment and time necessary to do so.
Edit: I also never said you're test wasn't accurate just that it wouldn't be as accurate as a PCR test. I even said the big question with these non PCR tests is finding out how inaccurate they are. 5%? Not bad. 50%? Bad
Good one!
