That’s an ideology, not a fact
That people mistrustful of institutions & the government BELIEVE in vague pervasive “corruption” in medicine & pharma doesn’t prove it exists
Advocates of this belief often define corruption as “the need to pay for medical services”
@DirkSchwenk
They CAN’T secede from the Union, bc they’re economically & logistically dependent on the blue states.
It’s not exactly like secession was a screaming victory for the CSA in the first place
@neontaster
Where's the lie? The risk for the appropriately vaxxed & boosted IS more like the flu.
The flu is no joke, and kills tens of thousands annually.

@BrattoDavisu
Except (1) all the claims about Trump were true & (2) the rules of evidence don’t have exceptions for partisan Whataboutism
@FineNFilm
@anahaata
That’s unlikely. Anyone’s who’s ever built a large business almost certainly does have an extraordinary work ethic
They might have inherited some money, but pretending they didn’t put in massive effort to succeed at that level is insane
@queenie4rmnola
Yet still described Malcom X in their dossier as “A man of the absolute highest moral character … sober, scholarly, and rarely even late for an appointment!”
@AGHuff
Unfortunately, similar remarks have been made by agenda-driven individuals who probably do understand the scientific role of the Energy Department
@maxdubler
He also conveniently forgetting 9/11, Katrina, the Great Crash, etc
Bush II is only spared from the bottom of the list by Trump’s presidency
@stellarstrology
That said, astrologers all over the world freaked out about 2020 long in advance because of the Uranus/Pluto square & other factors
Only a couple predicted a disease pandemic, since few expected that specifically in the modern era
@hollowearthterf
No, conflict doesn’t exist if two parties are in agreement on basic issues & are compatible
Which is only possible between two actual persons
@guypbenson
Prisons aren’t packed full of four-star hotels, shopping malls, amusement parks, restaurants, luxury housing, etc
At night, Gaza City looks like Miami Beach.
The “open-air prison” myth is propaganda like “The Palestinians live in tents” was
@agraybee
I can imagine having a very difficult time wrapping my mind around a friend’s guilt for a terrible crime, & wanting desperately to believe in their innocence too
@past_is_future
And she isn’t wrong
That’s why she’s an actual working scientist; and you’re a failed crank whose career imploded, forcing you to take a consolation hand-out from NASA 🤣
@luckytran
She didn’t say we should allow the genetically unfit & feeble-minded to die unchecked in order to curb their dysgenic impact on our germ plasm.
She made a clumsy attempt to deliver promising news in a manner perceived to be insensitive
@SteveAF_LCSW
First, they have to be invented, tested & approved, then they have to be ramped up through a rigorous bureaucratic procurement process based on competitive bidding.
Unlikely to go significantly differently than it did.

It’s almost the publishing equivalent of stealing the orange harvest report to get a jumpstart on the commodity futures.
@denise_dewald
Also disturbing are licensed physicians who amplify a bunch of outlier preprints to laypeople so they can “make up their own minds,” despite having no training in such analysis.
Particularly if they don’t update them after they’re retracted, & thrice-vaxxed themselves
@MichaelWorobey
No, you simply repackaged the old, bad data, then did a sack dance in the end zone like you’re in line for a prize in Sweden as a result
@richsignorelli
@joncoopertweets
The fact he isn’t rashly flooding the dockets with rafts of indictments doesn’t prove he isn’t exercising appropriate discretion.
@MrAhmednurAli
Disagree - the vulnerable aren’t entitled to demand that everyone else accommodates their special needs permanently
They didn’t have zero risk before CV2, they won’t have it now, & forever masking wouldn’t eliminate it
@HeerJeet
LOL!! Arab students didn’t apply for a semester abroad program in Tel Aviv at the same rates as Jews … and that “proves” the university was discriminating?!?
@RabbitholeGirl
@ask_aubry
One, she was above the age of consent in NYS
Two, she wanted to date Seinfeld
Three, her parents gave their blessing to their relationship
@djrothkopf
Not possible because of Hamas’ strategic use of civilian location as staging areas
Consequently, it’s not possible to eliminate Hamas or bring them to justice without civilian losses, as they’re well aware
That is the circumstance addressed by the principle of double effect
@dysclinic
@DrLeanaWen
It’s not a matter of equity
The vulnerable aren’t denied physical access to public goods just bc society hasn’t mitigated every conceivable risk, which is clearly impossible anyhow
@scotub
Same guy who claimed that a hypothetical computational analysis suggesting CoV’s human ACE2 binding is sub-optimal “proves” CoV-2 is therefore not a lab product. 🤡
@bendreyfuss
They don’t get aid, as people normally construe it
They get a discount coupon on high-interest military finance programs like FMS that earn billions in profits for US defense contractors
The biggest beneficiary of US foreign aid the USA
@19joho
The idea that schools could somehow been left open while teachers, parents, aides, staff workers, administrators, & so were constantly being infected & quarantined is an absurd fantasy
The disease drove the shutdowns itself
@honigsbaum
Honigsbaum, your argument is ridiculous.
It's only quite recently that human beings gained the gene editing and sequencing technology sets to create pandemic viruses.
The fact previous pandemics were zoonotic is therefore irrelevant, because it simply wasn't possible.
@agraybee
The clerk at Ellis Island told my great-grandfather that his last name was now “Levine” because he couldn’t spell his Belarusian surname
The whole family kept the name for the next 100 years
