    In all seriousness, what is it about trump that makes him so attractive to so many people?

    I don't think it has anything to do with any redeeming quality that Trump has, he essentially has none. The answer is condescension and contempt. People that are inclined to have ring-wing views are pilloried, vilified, berated, assumed to be stupid and held in contempt, openly within liberal...

    In all seriousness, what is it about trump that makes him so attractive to so many people?

    This is an interesting reply. Which group of people do you see as "better" than another group? I thought the entire identity of the U.S. kinda hinges in the idea of equality. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with...

    Was MLK "woke"?

    Hey there, thanks for the reply. I "liked" your comment because you offered a rebuttal to my position without personal attack or vilification, and by offering a legitimate counter argument - it's appreciated. I disagree that the idea of always noticing colour is a better alternative to not...

    Was MLK "woke"?

    If there is no such thing as woke ideals, how is it even a thing then? Respondents voted yes and no to the poll, they all obviously think there is some established set of ideas to being woke. Plus, I didn't use it as a pejorative. That means to hold in contempt... this is what I said: I do...

    New Genetic Data Connects COVID Origins to Raccoon Dogs at Wuhan Market

    Unfortunately, you may have self-owned on this one. This lab was known for deploying teams to areas off the South China Sea for collection of virus samples (via bats). As it turns out, sars-cov-2 is closest related to bats found in Loas (just south of China). The bat populations that carry...

    Was MLK "woke"?

    I absolutely agree that Tucker Carlson would lambast him for that comment. I don't think Tucker Carlson is a good person to take as an example to qualify any sort of societal ideals either, he's kind of a lying, smarmy dickhead. Just because King said this, doesn't mean he didn't say the other...

    Was MLK "woke"?

    I answered "no" to the poll, because MLK encouraged the elimination of skin tone as an important feature in society, and that it is our ideas and character that are of the upmost importance. I think that the "woke" ideals place utmost importance on one's racial identity rather than how and what...

    The Winter COVID surge that wasn't. Are we finally nearing the end of this long, dark road?

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. That's not my opinion - I got that from "The Lancet", a world-leading medical journal. I linked it a few posts above.

    The Winter COVID surge that wasn't. Are we finally nearing the end of this long, dark road?

    Well, there is that risk either way. The vaccines are not without their own risk, albeit a small one. Regardless, most vaccinated people have most likely been exposed many times to SARS-CoV-2 and are well on their way to building a more robust natural immunity once the vaccine protections...

    The Winter COVID surge that wasn't. Are we finally nearing the end of this long, dark road?

    The people who are unvaccinated and acquired immunity naturally enjoy more long lasting and complete immunity vs COVID than the vaccinated. And I say this as a vaccinated and boosted person. While more random mutation occurs in the unvaccinated, the vaccinated produce more vaccine escape...

    Mother Sues Doctor Who Allegedly Administered COVID-19 Vaccines to Children Without Consent

    Neither is worse. The parent is trying to make the best, loving decisions for their children. If they ask for a vaccine and saline is administered, that's an unacceptable break of trust. The same applies to vaccinations given without parental consent. Total breakdown of trust.

    I thought that with the lessoning of COVID deaths there would be less disinformation posted.

    Everything I've posted is cited and credited to authoritative and trustworthy organizations. I don't understand why you won't acknowledge this. I also don't understand why you continue to imply that I don't know anything, as if that has any bearing on what these organizations publish, it just...

    I thought that with the lessoning of COVID deaths there would be less disinformation posted.

    I'll respond to the only two points that have anything to do with the content of the argument. The rest of the comments seem to be designed to be insult attempts. I don't dispute the raw numbers you have. I dispute the analysis in the following ways: The infection mortality cannot be...

    I thought that with the lessoning of COVID deaths there would be less disinformation posted.

    Again, these are numbers and statements by both Stanford and the CDC. They aren't my numbers and not my analysis. Attacking me personally does little to help your argument - I'll ask again that you stop doing that, please. I have no political right-wing agenda, I generally hold liberal values...

    I thought that with the lessoning of COVID deaths there would be less disinformation posted.

    I didn't say say anything about being vaccinated. I, myself have three shots. I'm just trying help inform people of the numbers, which are often misrepresented.

    I thought that with the lessoning of COVID deaths there would be less disinformation posted.

    Incorrect. That number is derived by the actual number of infections. I find your continued personal attack on me disheartening, I ask that you refrain. I hold no ill will. I'm only trying to help people accurately track reality by citing authoritative sources, and I assure you that I know...

    How Well Did Florida Do With Covid?

    It is important to realize that Florida has a much older age demographic than many other states, and COVID becomes exponentially more deadly with increasing age. You'd need to account for this.

    I thought that with the lessoning of COVID deaths there would be less disinformation posted.

    You're mistaken. The chance of death if you catch covid is under 1.09%, and is closer to 0.03% as detailed in the link I posted to support my statement. Implying that I am too simple to understand the terms that are used in the study doesn't strengthen your argument. The table you posted is...

    I thought that with the lessoning of COVID deaths there would be less disinformation posted.

    The infection fatality of COVID is 0.03% across all age segments on average, not 2%. For very young people it's as low as 0.002%, and increases exponentially with age. Please see this link, offered by Stanford University Meta-Research Center. It is a safe bet to assume that they know what...
