Shit thread tbh.

COVID killed 1 in 2000. You probably know: 100 relatives + 100 coworkers + 10 friends + 100 casual acquaintances.

Brands profit from political polarization, actually.

Let's say there were two brands before. They had to compete on price and quality.

Polarization comes, Republicans buy one, Democrats another. No more competition: you can raise the prices and let the quality slide.

The primer sequences are what get amplified by the PCR process in order to be detected and designated a “positive” test result.

Actually, they are the borders of the region that will get amplified. However, the primers are designed to be unique, and they are generally checked for uniqueness (and other things). Not sure what's going on here, but the national tests don't use these primers, as far as I can tell.

I see Risch, I upvote.

It's like this: real masks (N95, etc.) obviously can work, while they are worn properly. However, realistically, people wear BS fabric masks, and they wear them incorrectly (over beards, or leaving gaps around the nose) Also, their kids are partying and will bring the virus home anyway. So in that sense, masks probably make little difference. Here's a meta-study: https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/full/10.7326/m20-3213 and another: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7191274/

• Plasma's effectiveness : 35% if treated early
• Remdesivir: ~30% (if you trust Gilead-sponsored studies)
• Steroids: ~30% (used late)

all approved, but

HCQ is 50-80% effective if treated early, 12+ studies of just early use: https://thedonald.win/p/Gv6N8PsB/

This is why we can't have HCQ: https://ethics.harvard.edu/blog/risky-drugs-why-fda-cannot-be-trusted

Quote:

about 90 percent of all new drugs approved by the FDA over the past 30 years are little or no more effective for patients than existing drugs

(The FDA essentially works for Big Pharma)

POTUS legally has no power over FDA, so it's up to Congress to provide oversight.

The senate can hold hearings and lock FDA into a story about their (completely unjustifiable) actions so far.

Did you know that the FDA basically works for Big Pharma: 90% of drugs they approve are useless except for making patients poorer?

• Plasma's effectiveness : 35% if treated early
• Remdesivir: ~30%
• Steroids: ~30% (used late)

all approved, but

HCQ is 50-80% effective if treated early, 12+ studies of just early use. In use since 1955 (very safe). Still no FDA EUA. WTFF?!

There's a lot of studies: https://thedonald.win/p/Gv6N8PsB/

Curiously 4chan was always suspicious of this guy. Not sure why.

thanks fren!

I'm betting it's HCQ: FDA finally acknowledges that HCQ works and gives it its EUA. They don't have any answers to https://apnews.com/a3e99384b955d60f4c0fd7c738c6b2a8 and the deadline is 8/25

It's actually "IATROGENIC". Capital i is easy to confuse with lowercase L, so I can see where this mistake would come from. But, really, idiots should not give medical advice.

I still don't see how a 25% April spike could become a 300% spike:

The LEFT plot in https://i.imgur.com/CuJUATw.jpg is covid + pneu + flu and shows what looks like a 25% spike in April (if you add all ages).

While this second plot is supposed to show the same covid + pneu + flu, but we see a 300% spike in April:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/07172020/nchs-mortality-report.html

The only difference is that the first plot is in absolute numbers, while the second plot is in percentage of all deaths. I still don't see how a 25% April spike could become a 300% spike.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

seems to directly contradict

If this is true, why do people recover then? The insult (5G or whatever) continues. They should stay sick.

Also, people see a lot of clusters of sickness, like if one spouse gets sick, another will get sick soon after, etc.

Some druggie woke up despite the sedatives and pulled out his tube -- the only one to "be successfully extubated", saved his own life.

Interesting.... so COVID added relatively little.

I wish I could find a comparison by year for the US. Most years, deaths increase around Feb. EU: https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

this was a false equivalence.

I don't think so

second, italians were not our enemy, fascist italians were.

US declared war on "the Government of Italy" on 12/11/1941 without mentioning ideologies.

There are differences, but in both cases, it's a flag of a political entity that was at war with the US, lost it, and many of whose offspring are now US citizens.

This is the video where he says he supports redirecting funding away from police:

PC is very selective: "you should be proud of your ancestry, but you may not". I'm not from Dixie, but I'm one of those who "may not", so I can relate, in that sense.

They are Dixie Americans. Italy was at war with the US even more recently, but Italian Americans fly their flag all the time, and no one says a thing.
