Science is your friend.

Science is your friend.
Weather God is mentioned or not makes no difference God is the source of via Natural Law not any government or monarch.Its a long way from that. Australia and Canada both have constitutions based on the Commonwealth relationship with the UK, both have had royal assent as part of their legislative structure. With modernization of those over the past while, it is highly unlikely that God was mentioned.
Both populations, for the majority, are far more likely to be compliant than America; so it is good to see the people the people of Oz rise up against tyranny. Canadians are also demonstrating, and did so during the recent and useless federal election, but I would doubt that there would evolve any situation that would "overthrow" the government, because the large majority are already compliant, and happy to have others tell them what to do, and when.
And at the same time, it is easier to rally people, especially over time, around a common belief in God, or God-given rights. It will be harder in these secular nations where the church is further from the middle of the people.Weather God is mentioned or not makes no difference God is the source of via Natural Law not any government or monarch.
Let me be clear, I hope all of you who are a little older, maybe overweight or have diabetes or other conditions, and have not already had covid get the vaccine. I think the data is clear that the benefits outweigh the risk for you. If you are young and healthy or have already had covid, I think it's a different discussion.
There are two mitigating biases there.Nonsense. It will become the norm based on what? It didn’t become the norm the last time? What point would it serve? It was a lot closer to the norm in the US for a lot longer.
For once, do the math, Tim. Think it through. 1 out of every 490 Americans has died from Covid compared to 1 out of every8,250 Australians.
Keep proving the rule by pointing out the exception and selling wolf tickets. Still just a .03% chance of killing a healthy person.![]()
‘Unvaccinated, unafraid’ woman dies of Covid, aged 40
On Facebook, Kristen Lowery had proclaimed herself a ‘free thinker’ who wanted to ‘give a voice to the vaccine injured’www.independent.co.uk
A vocally anti-mask, anti-vaccine woman in California has died of Covid-19.
Kristen Lowery, 40, was the mother of four school-age children in Escalon, California. In her Facebook posts, she proclaimed herself a “free thinker” who was “unmasked, unmuzzled, unvaccinated, unafraid”. In one photo, she held up a protest sign reading “Give a voice to the vaccine injured”.
In September, her sister wrote that Ms Lowery had been hospitalised with the coronavirus.
“My sister, Kristen, is in the hospital fighting for her life against Covid and pneumonia,” she wrote. “My sister has a long life left. We need you here, sissy. Your kids love and miss you so much. Please don’t give up.”
The sister also added a warning.
“I do not care about your opinion on vaccinated or not [sic],” she wrote. “This is not political.”
On 15 September, multiple family members announced that Ms Lowery had died, and a GoFundMe was set up for her funeral expenses.
Having a huge landmass and small population didn’t stop Sourh Dakota from leading the country over the winter. West Virginia is currently having a huge Covid surge.There are two mitigating biases there.
Australia has a huge land mass and small population… spread is naturally contained outside of cities… just like rural West Virginia… who trust me said **** off to all mandates and lockdowns, had fewer per capita deaths that superpopulated new york city….
New york and new jersey have the highest per capital covid deaths and the highest population per square mile in the ares with the highest deaths… us cities are much smaller in land mass than typical Australian cities… new york is what? 300 square miles housing 8.5 million people and millions upon millions more commuting in daily… cities in Australia are typically well over 1000 square miles
Australia has 25 million people so over 300 million less than the usa, spread out in a land mass that is like 80% of the US, and mostly isolated from transmission.
The second factor is reporting biases. Back before this was a big political thing , when spike and i were arguing severity, a lot of stuff was posted about the different standards of reporting each country has… places like italy and tge us always have higher than normal flu numbers while other similar countries would have much smaller numbers… this is because we don’t have a uniform standard for what entails an infection, death, severe case ect…. So some ise processes that bias low ( lets only report cases with a positive test that is lab confirmed) and others bias high (lets assume every case with characteristics of the illness or a positive test are all cases)
Typically you can see this by comparing all infectious diseases numbers in a country to the average…
This is done in a lot of heath care debates to try to standardize data…
As for new yorks per capita cases and deaths….note that while at first cuomo’s administration pumped up covid deaths trying to show how bad the virus was, the numbers suddenly dropped dramatically as soon as he got criticized for how he handled it…
When he was forced out and the new governor took over she released 12,000 new cases that were confirmed cases the government was sitting on… these were not estimates… they were actually deaths by covid that the Cuomo administration had buried for months trying to trim the numbers…
Thats why we don’t trust the data while political people are politicizing it…
(Also does that mean new york had 12,000 people die in a day? Because thats what some from both sides of the arguments here would be advocating instead of the numbers just being withheld or released when politically convenient lol)
….
So two takeaways…
1. cramming 8.5 million people into a 203 square mile area is unhealthy and dumb
2. Once more standardized data with all contributing biases acknowledged is proper science
Raw data taken out of context is political science…. Lol
By that logic, healthy people don’t need to wash their hands, brush their teeth, exercise, eat healthy, wear seatbelts, get annual physicals or any preventative exam or procedure. A healthy person could avoid all of those and would still be highly unlikely to die anytime soon.Keep proving the rule by pointing out the exception and selling wolf tickets. Still just a .03% chance of killing a healthy person.
Glad you reposted it, first time seeing it. Good Stuff!I put this in both flu threads because it's so good.

No, you’re the idiot. Trump was GIVEN Remdesivir AFTER being HOSPITALIZED. He baselessly and recklessly promoted taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure. One that obviously failed him.you might think that, but I know for absolute fact that you're a goddamned idiot.

Trump Is Taking Remdesivir. Here's How It Works To Control The Coronavirus
President Trump is on day two of a planned 5-day course of remdesivir. The medication, approved for treating COVID-19, works by making it harder for the coronavirus to replicate within the body.www.npr.org
Trump Is Taking Remdesivir. Here's How It Works To Control The Coronavirus
President Trump, hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, is being treated with remdesivir, an antiviral drug made by Gilead Sciences. While the drug hasn't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it was authorized for emergency use in May for treating hospitalized patients with the coronavirus.
You're denser than a fruitcake on the 4th of July. Bless your heart.No, you’re the idiot. Trump was GIVEN Remdesivir AFTER being HOSPITALIZED. He baselessly and recklessly promoted taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure. One that obviously failed him.
did i mention hydroxy? no. i clearly and emphatically stated remdesivir. but, since you insist on getting a foot in your ***...No, you’re the idiot. Trump was GIVEN Remdesivir AFTER being HOSPITALIZED. He baselessly and recklessly promoted taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure. One that obviously failed him.
Again you are talking about a country that uses DCD, that is doctor confirmed deaths, as a reporting mechanism and one that experienced an extremely high flu death rate among the elderly the year previous to covid…there is always a huge dip in deaths in years following an event that kills off the dying population. In 2019 their death rate was high enough that it actually dropped during 2020….Having a huge landmass and small population didn’t stop Sourh Dakota from leading the country over the winter. West Virginia is currently having a huge Covid surge.
FlogManBun,By that logic, healthy people don’t need to wash their hands, brush their teeth, exercise, eat healthy, wear seatbelts, get annual physicals or any preventative exam or procedure. A healthy person could avoid all of those and would still be highly unlikely to die anytime soon.
nuh uh. what about the scientist in utah who confirmed that deaths in a Scotland county were remote and unattainable, yet rona? GOTCHA!Again you are talking about a country that uses DCD, that is doctor confirmed deaths, as a reporting mechanism and one that experienced an extremely high flu death rate among the elderly the year previous to covid…there is always a huge dip in deaths in years following an event that kills off the dying population. In 2019 their death rate was high enough that it actually dropped during 2020….
you aren’t comparing apples to apples… if Australia reported like the us, then a significant portion of their cancer deaths would be covid designated, since chemo wipes out immunity we tied many deaths to it here… and they don’t estimate on deaths at home unless an autopsy is done… again unlike here… there are usually 40 to 50k of their deaths that aren’t DCDs there
Think of it like how each team credits tackles differently… if you have the exact same game played in three different stadiums, quantifiable stats like the rush yardages and touchdowns will be identical or virtually identical, but subjective stats will greatly differ based on individual standards
Our cdc usually biases high in an attempt to get all the cases accounted for even if it means adding ones that really didn’t die from the illness… some countries want absolute confirmation before they count the illness in a category which biases it low….
In the rare case where the cdc under biases an illness, like it did with tge swine flu outbreak, it usually has to do with a miscalculation of Ro or morbitity rates… that is to say tgey weren’t looking for the cases so they didn’t find them
In fact it could be because of tge under representation of the last pandemic that this one is biased so high… a simple overcorrection rather than some nefarious conspiracy… but there is absolutely no doubt that the numbers are overall biased high … we have ample officials admitting as much often….
What does “Orangeman bad bad bad” have to do with that?did i mention hydroxy? no. i clearly and emphatically stated remdesivir. but, since you insist on getting a foot in your ***...
Trump boasted that, thanks to remdesivir, “we’re going to be having some really incredible results” in helping patients.![]()
Remdesivir, hailed — and taken — by Trump, doesn't work for coronavirus, World Health Organization declares
The World Health Organization on Thursday recommended against continuing to use the antiviral remdesivir to treat COVID-19.www.yahoo.com
It’s not gene therapy. The difference in the case and death rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated is proof of its efficacy.Flog
FlogManBun,
No.
The effectiveness of the things you mentioned are proven. The experimental gene therapy is not effective as evidenced by all the “breakthrough cases” has unknown long term side effects and has had more deaths and severe injuries in 8 months than all the actual vaccines combined have in 30 years. all of this is an excuse to impose tyranny using a disease that has a .03% chance of killing you.
