Instead of 1 study, might be best to evaluated the entire body of work on Ivermectin.
Not all studies are created equal. Some have more weight, some less. Many are flawed.
Without making any conclusions, here is a list of over a hundred relevant studies concerning Ivermectin and covid/respiratory diseases.
Amen
If I had mod points +1
Going without carbs and eating lots of animal protein and fat is the last diet anyone "cycles" through.
Its the end game of diets that turns into a way of life.
Carbs are 100% unecessary as are vegetables.
Fasting with only water can heal.
Of course proper nutrition is crucial to being healthy.
Fasting long enough leats to autophagy which is crucial to healing.
Any animal that is wounded will stop eating for a while or at best reduce sustenance until healed and only consumme water.
We absolutely did evolve with significant restrictions.
Humans evolved eating meat as hunter gatherers. Diet consistently was made of big game meats.
Some forraging for berries and fruits.
If you eat allot of meat, proteins and animal fats, you will be fully satiated and can go for a day or more without eating or being hungry.
Meals where not always constant. People ate allot after a kill and tried to preserve as much as possible to last. But might go days or weeks without eating anything of substance.
Correlation does NOT imply causation AT ALL.
Two things can be correlated to a T and have absolutely no relationship to each other whatsoever.
Observational studies are weak evidence but still usefull.
They are useful to identify areas that might require more research, but not to determine causation, make policy or to determine if a drug is safe, effective or harmful.
Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is NOT illegal.
They filled all the social media companies with ex CIA, NSA, DHS, FBI agents
Got them in position of decision making for content.
Created a network and working group where the governement could update and tell them what to censor.
And in the case of Twitter, that we know of and have evidence for, the government PAID the social media company millions for the all the work they had to do to censor people.
For the sniffles?
The government has NO PLACE forcing medical treatments on people. NONE.
If the threat was severe enough, it wasnt by any stretch of any imagination, people would line up by themselves to get jabbed.
Your stupid "choices have consequences" drivel could be applied to a boss telling his secretary to give him a blowjob or lose her job.
Its a twisted disgusting way of seing things which makes you a dispicable person.
You mean if you were Steyn you'd appeal.
I agree.
That is only a reality since the depegging of money from gold.
Technology is deflationary. Prices should be going down as we improve processes and efficient because of technology.
Our money is broken. The excuse of money needs to circulate creates perverse incentives.
- Rising real estate, pricing people out of shelter.
- Zombie companies, usless investments in companies that should NEVER have existed.
- Economic bubbles and crashes that last much longer than they should.
Wasteful consumerism and environmental impacts.
I understand your points, but they come from Keynesian economic philosophies, which I believe are wrong.
If you ever want to see another side of that coin, I would suggest a recent book from Lyn Alden called BROKEN MONEY.
Its well worth a read.
I disagree.
Money is an asset and can be used to save.
Saving is important, it allows those with a low time preference to plan for the future and save for an investment or purchase.
Today we are forced to buy securities with 3rd party risks or park our worth in real estate which has a host of other problems.
You are confusing money with currency.
Bitcoin IS money.
It has subjective value and people transact with it but mostly hold it as a store of value.
Currency is mainly for transacting. And Bitcoin currently isn't widely adopted or easy to do this.
Eventually L2 techs will improve and add a more transactable layer.
Bit that isn't a necessity for BTC to be money.
Like it isn't for Gold.
Look up the definition of the word FIAT.
It does not mean "unbacked".
It means by DECREE.
People are adopting Bitcoin voluntarily, not because some governement are forcing/coercing people to use it to pay taxes or transact.
Golds value is a fraction of what it trades for if it doesnt have the monetary premium it currently enjoys. Its a rock. It has uses for sure, but not worth the price its currently trading for.
Prices are set at the margin. If people, voluntarily, believe something has value, its fungible, divisible, can transport value through time and over distance, it is money.
All money is, is a ledger. A representation of the value you have exchanged with someone, that is fungible and allows you to trade with someone else for something you want/need.
Generaly agreed.
But if you take into account money supply manipulation. aka FIAT money "printing".
None of the economies are free markets.
In a free market, you wouldnt have price manipulation from increase in money supply and thus reduction in purchasing power.
