On the contrary, banning people makes people seek out their narrative even more. This idea that people aren't smart enough to make their own decisions and need you to spoon feed th…

Probably not.

What is one mRNA vaccine that has been approved by the FDA?

Is it really that they don't want people to criticize their bullshit? Or is it that they don't want their bullshit to be censored off the face of the planet? Whether or not we agre…

I was never talking about fact checking. I'm taking issue to your casting morality as objective. It is not. That is all.

Depends on what's being done with those resources. Example 1 - Drumming up support for a war with Iran. No it's not correct to direct resources to where they are most effective. (A…

N95 is the US standard, so it makes sense the US makes more of these than other countries. Compare production capacity of N95s in the US with FFP2/3 in the EU, or KN95 in China. Th…

Yes, let's throw out valuable field evidence just because it doesn't fit some narrow definition of "valid experiment". Compare 700 people who received a treatment to 700 demographi…

The remaining population of COVID patients is a good control group. Or, if you prefer, randomly select sub-populations with similar demographic statistics.

A single piece of anecdotal evidence does not constitute scientific fact. ~700 pieces of anecdotal evidence is a study.

That's wishful thinking. The virus will survive in Africa, or India, or many of the other places that are incapable or unwilling to enforcing a complete lockdown (many of these pla…

So what happens when we end quarantine in 6 months? We'll just have a COVID epidemic 6 months from now. Isolation does not stop the spead, it only slows the spread. As soon as isol…
