    You’re extremely misinformed about the pro-ivermectin side. This narrative is really a disservice.

    I’m sure many get low pay, but the women I knew were making $50k - $70k in their 20s. That was when housing was far, far cheaper too. Hardly min wage.

    Haha wow you have so much of this wrong. Not just confused wrong, but blatant misrepresentation that amounts to libel. The description of Bret Weinstein, what he did and did not sa…

    Governments pressuring private companies and keeping lists of people they want censored and deplatformed based on what they say should offend everyone. That is fundamentally anti-f…

    Speaking as an anti-growther who has been in this situation, this almost never the case. Inflated housing doesn’t help them at all, it just drives up all ancillary costs of living …

    It’s not a zoning issue, it’s a WFH issue. If they build more housing, more tech workers will just buy it. The pool of people who earn more than local service industry folks and ha…

    This has been mostly debunked (Paul was making assumptions that were incorrect), and some of the behavior has been changed in a patch.

    Nobody is talking about randomly experimenting on patients, so this is a disingenuous attempt at reframing.

    No, you’re like a year behind on that rebuttal. Go look at the doses they are recommending. They are talking around 25mg, and it’s demonstrably safer already. Efficacy is less clea…

    Wow, economist has really lost it. This is nowhere close to correct and is just partisan activism.

    There is no reason whatsoever to even consider race. The justification is often that it’s a proxy for income, but that doesn’t make it any more logical. You can just evaluate it by…

    Glad it was "taken advantage of", racism has no place here. Disgusting that people think this is ok.

    Why did you say “anything else ”? This isn’t a conspiracy theory. They only detail that is even in question is whether or not one of their samples leaked. Nothing else about what t…
