Comment Hypocritical is Typical (Score 0) 116

I guess hacking is okay as long as your team isn't the one being hacked. Also, no country has done as many illegal foreign invasions as the USA. Putin is just making a USA style play and the USA is crying fowl. The "West" seems to think only they can break the laws and rules!! The "West" drops love bombs and shoots love bullets!! Everyone else is a terrorist doing devil work. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

Comment Did anyone actually review the study? It seems no (Score 0) 296

Looking at the comments it is apparent confirmation bias and group think is still a problem here. It's clear people saw headlines in the news article and ran with them without looking into the science. I know.. common for "Trump supporters" is written all over /. but this site is predominantly the Hillary/Biden side so let that sink in. If anyone took the time to read the material they would realize the study used dosing amounts / schedule different from what other Drs have suggested is effective and that lead to heavy criticism. The complaints about this are even prevalent in the LA Times article. The researcher who is trying to get the result he was paid to get is upset by this because it made him the rope in a tug-of-war between his funders (NGOs like Bill & Melinda Gates foundation - see the Together Trail dot com website it is right there - Bill is heavily invested in vaccines). This is important because if HCQ or Ivermectin were found to be effective by this study, it is extremely likely the vaccines would be need to be cancelled (Emergency Use Only granted because no effective treatment found) and Bill's would lose billions on his Moderna stock holdings. This study was likely held to sell more Fluvoxamine (an SSRI drug). You can tell because of all the Psychiatry doctors at the 4:16 mark in the video. They knew the result they wanted and enlisted the appropriate doctors who would have been silly in an HCQ / Ivermectin drug study. Rest assured the funders (via their NGOs) got the results early and bought a bunch of stock in whomever sells Fluvoxamine. Nearly all research is funded for purposes of Corporation profit and university researchers need the financial injections to preserve their status quo life. What does that mean? That means the financial backers have a goal not written on the paperwork that the researchers job is to prove or lose funding / reputation. The researcher is smart and knows how to twist the knobs to get that result (and has agreed to do so; unofficially). Then all the researcher has to do is document the position of the knobs so the study can be repeated and document his findings. That is modern science in a nutshell. You could easily prove by scientific research that an oven is a terrible device used to heat pizza. Just do the trials at 500 F for 30 minutes and document the results. Pizza burnt too a crisp! That is science! Drug studies don't prove or disprove a drugs usefulness in all cases, only the very limited scenario they tested. Go to nih dot gov website and use drug number 33278625 for Ivermectin. "Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro." and "There were no severe adverse drug events recorded in the study."

I applaud the man for sticking to his morals. This is commendable because when it comes down to it, an extremely small minority of humans have the resolve to do this. In this modern age of the #metoo movement where both public and media giants only to seem to believe in their cause when the target is conveniently on the other team, look at the overwhelming silence and acceptance when the target of accusations is turned towards one of their own. I imagine the same will occur when it comes to voting with ones wallet. People may talk about how bad Amazon is but will they stop purchasing from it? The same applies to China right now. Lots of complains and desires to boycott but I'd estimate few will actually pay more for the same item just to buy the one not made in China. Like a dog with a big bark and no bite.. that's us.. that's sadly our culture
