I don't like that there's a second MMA champion in the mix, but the short guy with the dad bod still takes this rather easily.

@jsm2334 @CovidC76105 @anish_koka The case based data we have gives us "relative risk", not absolute. And that's assuming our control matching isn't riddled with biases, which it usually is. The pre-pandemic smallpox study seemingly assumed 1 myocarditis for every ~28 instances of vax induced elevated troponin.

@msabouri @CovidC76105 @anish_koka Yes and for myocarditis we don't need VAERs, since we'd already validated hundreds of times over that there is a causal effect and it is an established risk factor.

Until Prasad’s private memo was leaked to the public, there has been no acknowledgment that any children died from the COVID vaccine. If the 2020 election had gone a different way, the FDA would still never have acknowledged this. Keep in mind the United States actually does not have a robust surveillance mechanism to establish cause of death after vaccines. In Korea, compensation to families after vaccine injury requires supporting evidence be submitted to the Korean CDC. Once myocarditis came to light as a potential complication, the Koreans created an expert adjudication committee to review the submitted evidence to make a determination on causality. Out of 44 million individuals with at least one dose of Covid , 21 deaths were attributed to Covid caused myocarditis. 8/21 were only discovered on review of autopsy. These were all sudden deaths after vaccine found to have acute myocarditis on autopsy. Faust and others have now made the story about Prasad’s irresponsible private memo that was leaked, and that the number of confirmed deaths may actually be less than 10. But the U.S. has an extremely passive reporting system in VAERS that apparently no one is actually investigating. Again - 8/21 cases in Korea were only attributable through autopsy. Would be very curious to know exactly how many kids died in the high risk window after receiving a vaccine - and how many had an autopsy? 21/44 million is rare , and doses given to children in the U.S. are lower than adult doses so hopefully the number of kids harmed is very low. Korea was fairly open about the fact vaccines may have harms, and moved quickly to set up a compensation fund and an adjudication committee. This also may be why the COVID vaccine though approved for kids 5-11 around the same time it was in the U.S. .. found very low uptake. Only 1.1% of kids in that age group were vaccinated. It is really sad that the COVID vaccine roll out was politicized in the manner it was. I thought the story was that the U.S. FDA may have been pressured by politicians to ignore its mission. Their behavior when it comes to Prasad and Høeg tells me it is actually the FDA staff that is likely politically/ideologically captured. They screwed up royally, and should lose their jobs, but instead are trying to get Prasad and Hoeg fired for not participating in the coverup. Shameful.

@DrAdrianWong @DanDocimo The fundamental problem is that biomeds are sparsely tested for their mathematical and analytical abilities while in school. This breeds a large number of accredited biomeds who are deficient on both fronts.

@simonmaechling Having to go into ungodly sums of debt to keep a fundamentally sick population alive is not socioeconomic W.

The news feeds you fear. Science quietly keeps you alive. Since 1960: • Extreme poverty ↓ • Life expectancy ↑ • Child mortality ↓ • Food supply ↑ • Education ↑ Humanity is not collapsing. You’re just watching an algorithm optimize for fear and panic.

@AzadehKhatibiMD Adaptive stress tolerance is a real thing, but there is always a point of diminishing even negative returns.

Because different people have different constitutions that they’re born with and then also develop over time. If we don’t note and study these differences, then we won’t learn and advance as a society. Rodman has a different level of sensitivity than this man and that probably has something to do with the differential in the level of deep thinking, as well as the effects of alcohol present in the two.

@jsm2334 @CovidC76105 @anish_koka The studies we have measuring elevated troponin rates immediately after vaccination give us good reference points for the relative roughness of a vaccine. For HCWs getting smallpox vaccines it was .05%. For HCWs getting a single mRNA booster 2.8% (really 5.1%).

@CovidC76105 @msabouri @anish_koka And btw the studies I am talking about would align population level incidence of the event after vaccination from medical data estimated as well as possible with Vaers reports to estimate reporting bias.

@JeromeAdamsMD <A ~50% asymptomatic rate> It was 80-90% per Ralph Baric's sworn testimony. Not to mention that 50% of people exposed didn't even get infected. Of the 5-10% who were even capable of getting a symptomatic infection, about 1% died, i.e a true death rate of .05-.1%.

Teachable moment: Most people - even fierce critics of COVID policies - agree that truly sick people (or high-risk exposures) should isolate to protect the public (by law if needed). The rub with COVID? A ~50% asymptomatic rate meant half of infected people felt (and looked) totally fine. No one knew they were “sick.” In most of 2020, the core problem wasn’t about policy. It was the lack of rapid, widespread testing, so we could truly identify the healthy vs the infected. 🤔

@mbeisen Downtown Bethesda USED to have good bagels.

Too much red

@TobyTenBears @MarkChangizi Viral interference between SARS2 and the flu was apparent from the start. It was the only reason why some places avoided covid surges in 2020. Tegnell was honest about it. Fauci wasn't.

@msabouri @MarkChangizi But Covid wiped out the FLU for almost 2 years!! There were no cases of the seasonal FLU!! So, there's that. By the way, never jabbed. Never masked.

Little or no correlation between mandate severity and Covid spread. They didn’t work. Quarantine is for the sick. Yet you fell into an irrational mass hysteria, astronomically exaggerating the risks, making up out of whole cloth solutions, many which were explicitly recommended against as of 2019, and violating civil liberties en masse. You are forever disgraced by your support for the COVID authoritarianism, and only compound it by not having woken up six years later.

@itsjwills @JWeinbachNBA Other teams don't owe it to the Bucks to rescue them from their own foolishness.

@JWeinbachNBA Absolutely hilarious if think that gets Giannis

Washington’s potential trade package for Giannis Antetokounmpo: Anthony Davis Tre Johnson Bub Carrington 2027 first-round pick (via WAS) 2029 first-round pick (second most favorable of POR/BOS/MIL) The Wizards have been floated as a potential suitor for the Bucks superstar.

@ChuckDouglas_ @TalkNats The park seems more lively than in 2019.

The Washington Nationals (27-27), are exceeding ALL expectations thus far, despite having played the 3rd hardest schedule in MLB. #Natitude | @TalkNats

@ChefReactions It does look like high quality ingredients...

@DrNeilStone SARS2 was circulating no later than September 2019. Covid hysteria began in 2020. How many Covid patients did you see in 2019?

HealthRanger = Total fraud

@EllieGAnders Frozen pizza is low key awesome.

These are pretty good for a frozen pizza. I make one for my husband every once in a while. The very best frozen pizzas are the Lou Malnati's pizzas through Tastes of Chicago. They're kind of pricey though. They do have gluten free crust or crustless pizza as options.

@MCCCANM Better than the lifeguards who are half a fifth deep.

You can’t just put kids in the pool & not supervise them. You need at least one adult who is a couple beers deep keeping an eye on them.

@SpikeEskin @SportsRadioWIP Change isn't the goal. The pitchfork mob wanted Harris's head so he gave them Morey's instead.

Could someone explain to me how the Sixers propose to find the best possible solution for President of Basketball Operations by first ensuring Nick Nurse is staying, and then signaling to anyone who will listen that Jameer Nelson has to be GM? open.substack.com/pub/marcstein/…

@HPbasketball Excellent rage bait.

Here's one for everyone to tear apart. Memphis gets the No.1 pick and Wizards 2030 for 3 and 16 this year. Dybantsa and Edey together with Cedric. Bucks get Tre, No.6 overall pick who was better than he got to show this year bc of tanking, Kyshawn, the No.16 pick, Warriors' first round pick. I'm open to more stuff going there in terms of volume of picks for Giannis. Wizards move off AD, starting lineup is Tre Daryn Petersen Bilal Giannis Sarr Warriors get a win-now move for AD by moving off Jimmy, Jimmy chills for a year in Milwaukee and then does whatever. Warriors get AD with Draymond, solving the center position for the rest of Steph's career. When he needs to sit, Draymond plays center and hopefully AD is available when Draymond is out. Do you rather this for Milwaukee or the Warriors' smorgasbord of mid picks or Tyler Herro and stuff from Miami?
