More simply, in case you still aren't seeing it, Wu's claim that COVID is worse is based on an assumption about prevalence. He believes (or believed, like everyone did at the time)…

Oops, that should have read "COVID is worse than vaccination." Typo. Your math still doesn't work. What if all the people in both groups are 100% infected?

Dr Wu does decent math. You're taking him out of context chronologically. That's on you. Dr Wu never claimed that he knew the actual prevalence of COVID in an asymptomatic populati…

Sanity check for yourself. This study finds a mechanism of action for vaccine caused myocarditis, and rate of incidence. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/12/myocarditis-…

EDIT: "tell us when you tested people with asymptomatic infection" Also, I'm mind bogglingly curious how you think those people would be discovered to perform a test on! So let me …

Do you have the prevalence numbers or not? You're not going to convince me that LATER we got better at testing and so you're using those test estimates to plug into this older stud…

I'd just measure total output and don't bother looking at export output. More variables and conversions in the experiment will tend to reduce the accuracy of the results.

Comment #49070425
If export energy is 10% of your total output, and it jumped 35% then you got a ~3.5 - 4% gain in total output, not far from the author's experience. Of course, you can math that an…

> a cohort is simply a defined group of people followed over time. Yes, and the group is defined very clearly here, as is usually the case. I appreciate that you've conceded that i…

This seems reasonable without negating the previous comment. With no army to protect the farm, there can be no farm. A return to hunting and gathering would occur as an effect of w…

Respectfully, I think you've mistaken the definition of the word cohort . A cohort specifically does not include everyone. Please check the definition of cohort and then read secti…

You're not addressing the issue. 5% of what? 5% of symptomatic COVID cases. So now you have to compare that to only people with injuries from the vaccine. Otherwise you're comparin…

No response. You don't want to take back the bad faith accusation at least? I could definitely and more rightfully accuse you now. Right? Good faith and all that? Honest take, you'…

See section 2.4. The "unvaccinated" group includes people with a history of myocarditis and pericarditis who had an episode during the study, and coupled with the fact that cases "…

I wasn't aware that it was expedited, but I also wasn't able to find the documents. I did find that they were sued again to release them in Dec. 2024. https://www.reuters.com/legal…

The seemingly higher incidence for placebo when compared with MMR can be explained. 1. First, the placebo data comes from an article that doesn't meet several academic standards fo…

I think they were complementing the absence of trash talk, not the absence of LLM.

Can you show me that math? Your premise is that COVID infection at just 5% is incredibly dangerous. But you can't actually say that without first knowing how many people were actua…

If the risk went down the term for that is "inverse correlation." In that case it would be preventative, rather than causative. Here we are seeing a correlation and we have a known…

I did write "many." And for clarity sake, it's way more people than just the military. Many cities and counties had mandates, including NYC. Everyone in nearly the entire health in…
