    There was not a second of doubt that the emails were legitimate. Here's proof: the Biden campaign and Hunter himself never denied they were real. As well, while nobody in the mains…

    What about the hundreds of pics of Hunter smoking crack in a bathrobe? What about the emails wherein Hunter describes in some detail his influence peddling operation? "10% for the …

    Asymptomatic spread is not nearly as prevalent as originally feared. Also, those who do not get symptoms (that is, most who catch covid) do not spread the virus in general, which i…

    > Yes the vaccine does improve outcomes BUT the hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people is still lower with Omicron than previous variants. Why "BUT"? Shouldn't the second par…

    There always are. Average hospital staffing and resource levels mean at its minimum ICUs are at ~78% capacity. Come low vitamin-D season, January or February, most ICUs hit capacit…

    > I am in no way saying masks don't work, in fact I think that they do. This is still so hilarious to me. It's pretty obvious that some masks work, that is, n95 or whatever actual …

    Sure, but hospitals are run at a level to hit peak capacity at the point when vitamin D deficiency peaks. Here's LA County using overflow tents in 2018 because the flu season was p…

    Wild. Here I am thankful that Montana recently reduced regulations and made it so small dairies can supply raw milk directly to customers without any inspection from a state or fed…

    Can you explain what you mean with the German milk market? You can't buy fresh milk anymore?

    I never said violence. It's like this: I'm originally from Ontario. Every year, a few drunk teenagers drown while boating. It's a big tragedy, and I'd hate it if it happened to my …

    I think that's part of the problem. I think we're already living in incredibly safe times, and a focus on even more safety and security is what's causing some good chunk of the mal…

    Matt Taibi was on Joe Rogan a few days ago and during the interview Joe related a story about one of his Israeli friends. Joe went over to his friend's home for dinner, and hung ou…

    One of the tricks Robert Moses had when he was basically building modern NYC was he had on staff a top-notch crew capable of the end-to-end implementation of whatever project propo…

    And omicron arose in vaccinated people and traveled the world in the respiratory tracts of the fully vaxxed.

    They're only arbitrary and pointless if you believe the goal is public health. Imagine seeing what's going on in eg Australia and still thinking this is about a virus!

    Why does vaccine-based immunity lack the durability of natural immunity?

    Comment #29407115

    So that's not quite true. The CDC provides the estimate you're talking about which is what my post originally cites (~146mm Americans infected). That's their estimate based on the …

    A bit under half of Americans have already caught covid. Even without vaccines, that means nearly half of Americans already have natural immunity which is vastly superior to vaccin…

    The doctors here in Montana I've talked to about it are not exactly advertising it but are unvaccinated and have recommended to me to avoid the vaccine and one intimated it's insan…

    So silly. "Comply with us or you lose your job" is only semantics away from "forced". Especially galling since: a) Many frontline workers have superior natural immunity anyway. b) …

    Uh, wat? Every single study done on the topic shows that natural immunity (not innate immunity) is vastly superior and more durable and more robust than vaccine immunity. Here's a …
