Gargamel

@official_garry3 @mike5_5_5 Anyone who thinks professional sports are scripted has probably never played a pickup basketball game.

@CNewhampshire @HighWireTalk Oh "it does not matter"? Nice completely unsupported conjecture. It matters because they've been studied for the better part of a century by real life doctors. Not idiots on the twitter.

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk First things first, when they were first used does NOT change the fact that they are not vaccines by the original definition of a vaccine. So when they were first used does not matter. That being said, you are wrong, even on a non-germane point:

🚨 A former Chicago White Sox pitcher is suing the team, alleging he was coerced into taking the COVID-19 vaccine and that the shot left him with a permanent autonomic nervous system disorder that ended his career. Isaiah Carranza, drafted by the White Sox in 2018, says team officials warned he would be blacklisted from professional baseball if he refused the two-dose regimen. According to the lawsuit, minor league players faced the mandate while major league players did not. MLB players had union protection. Minor leaguers allegedly had little leverage and risked losing their careers if they refused. Shortly after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, Carranza says he developed extreme dizziness, nausea, near-fainting, and a wildly fluctuating heart rate. Team staff reportedly dismissed the symptoms as dehydration, anxiety, and rookie nerves. Carranza’s attorneys say the condition permanently damaged his autonomic nervous system and ended his baseball career. They estimate his future medical costs could exceed $557,000, with lost wages ranging from $3.4 million to $19.9 million. The lawsuit also highlights the broader debate around workplace vaccine mandates that swept through professional sports, universities, and corporations during the pandemic. Meanwhile, compensation programs set up for vaccine injuries have been widely criticized as slow and difficult to access. Out of more than 14,000 claims filed, only 133 have been deemed eligible for compensation. Carranza’s case attempts to pursue accountability outside that system through the courts. The White Sox have not yet publicly responded to the allegations. Read the full story by @smiddendorp22 here: bit.ly/White_Sox_Sued

@CNewhampshire @HighWireTalk But you don't get to decide those things. You have to live in the world that was built by science and medicine for generations before you. And in this world, a vaccine means what the WHO says it does. You can come up with all of your own words, but not that one.

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk If you use the WHO definition of a vaccine, then punching you in the face would be a vaccine if punching you in the face stimulated your immune system against any specific infection.

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk Bottom line is, you guys have no concept of scale. No idea what it would take to fake all of the bodies pouring out of ERs. You're the fool. There's my ad hominem! I'm out!

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk Wow. Look at this... statista.com/statistics/112…

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk I already explained this. Covid was more powerful than any typical case of seasonal influenza. There may have been some comorbidity and some percent of error, but look at the numbers relative to Covid. You're comparing flu cases in the 10,000s, to Covid cases in the millions.

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk You know, only one of you dozens of people who engaged me on this, has avoided name calling and ad hominem attacks. That's what people with very little actual information do. They live in an echo chamber where everything is "obvious". You're not worth my time.

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk It was fake. I can't believe you haven't woken up yet. Covid killed very few. And nearly 100% of the ones who died were very old and/or had sever health issues. Not one healthy younger person died of Covid but we forced kids to get it to go to school. You're sick in the head.

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk I don't give a shit about the mask stuff. Media treated people like they were too dumb to work with the nuanced contractibility info, so they went overboard. My biggest beef by far was that they wouldn't state clearly how hard it was to pass outside. That was known early.

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk No they didn't. The vast majority die WITH Covid. If you died for any reason and then tested positive for Covid, you were listed as a Covid death. It's all a gigantic lie. You probably think masks worked. You probably still wear one in public.

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk 1 million people died of Covid in the US alone. People died of the flu too. Not sure where you got that nugget about no flu deaths. There were less, because immunocompromised people who may have otherwise died of the flu, instead died of Covid. Reality: worldometers.info/coronavirus/

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk Very few people died of Covid. Go look at the deaths from the flu during the fake pandemic. Near zero. Huh. That's odd. No one died of the flu then? The vaccine was a lie and it killed young people. Kids dropping dead from heart attacks and blood clots. Keep taking their poison.

@CNewhampshire @HighWireTalk This is so dumb. mRNA vaccines have existed since the 60s. And I know disputing that is a big favorite of idiots who blather on about "changing your DNA". publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/the-long-…

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk First of all they had to change the definition of the word vaccine to call it a vaccine. If you think MRNA injections with spike proteins are vaccines, that's the problem.

@HighWireTalk I can't keep up with all of these. That's the last time I bother trying to talk sense into anti-vaxers. Maybe take a break from the internet for a while guys.

@HighWireTalk His symptoms after the vaccine were exactly what you're supposed to experience. Covid symptoms. That's how vaccines work.

@ohitsbaileyy_ @TalkinBaseball_ You are the worst type of critic.

@TalkinBaseball_ I like Tarik but this ain’t it man. All in or nothing.

Tarik Skubal spoke to Tigers officials and his agent Scott Boras about an hour after today's game about potentially making another World Baseball Classic start

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk I predict, if this conversation keeps going in a somewhat sensible direction, that scale is going to become part of my next point. So consider scale if you're actually going to come with anything resembling a clear, concise, thought.

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk Lol. Sir it might have saved some lives of old people. We should ignore the young lives it actually cost.

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk No, we should acknowledge the people who had adverse reactions who were young, and the other people who did not experience those reactions. I only mention the old people, because they were more likely to die from Covid in the first place.

@cbra92 You could enlighten me. But ya kinda can't, can ya? Because you know you're way out of your simple depth.

@FromGargamel if you can’t figure out why your initial reply to the OP was dumb as fuck nobody can help you 🤡

@cbra92 Good luck out there Simple Chris. I'm sure you'll do a lot in life.

@FromGargamel u still haven’t answered if you are retarded or not

@cbra92 Bot implies I've got a bunch of accounts and I'm posting the same stuff from all of them. They're mostly older, but formerly attractive female Trump supporters. I'm a person, with one account, and I'm telling you you're a simple man with no real coherent thoughts.

@FromGargamel Bot 🥱

@ShoutoutKG I don't think that's a great measure. Two different teams. You've got to compare skills. Cam's gotta grow out of those dart throws, but I bet he has a better 2026 than Mendoza, based on experience alone.

It’s pretty obvious if Cam Ward was playing in the National Championship, Miami would have won. Cam Ward already beat Mendoza head to head. It’s Cam Ward.

@DrNormanF @HighWireTalk To convince others of that, you have to accept that most people who got the vaccine had a normal experience. A lot of older folks who took it survived Covid as a result. I agree that some had adverse reactions, but you've got to accept all data, not just the stuff you prefer.

@FromGargamel @HighWireTalk You were lucky. Others got very sick from the vaccine that is no longer recommended.

@ZFARM_ But there is one Shortstop

There isn’t 3 infielders on the team USA Roster better than Gunnar Henderson

@cbra92 Simple Chris, your entire belief system is based on anecdotes. Think about that. It would be like seeing a bird take a shit on a car and concluding birds only shit on cars. Everything on your timeline is weak.
