@stephen_richer It’s a Political talking point that plays to her base. Facts don’t matter in this type of politics.

@hamids I use it all the time. It’s my go to once I learned to use it.

I have *never* used the iPhone Camera physical button, not once, on purpose to get to the Camera app. But I hit it almost daily on accident! Anybody else?

Europe is waking up to realize that they need to do their part for NATO... In response to the US pulling troops, Merz reportedly added that "if we are to remain transatlantic, we must strengthen the European pillar within NATO.” About time, we are fine with NATO as long as it is an equal partnership!

@DrNeilStone And they think the US Gov't is going to stop people from flying it....

Imagine the regime in Iran trying to broadcast Iran's World Cup games if the stadium is covered in Lion and Sun flags? 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

Yep. And it wasn't frivolous suit. Thanks for letting everyone know that I actually take a stand, understand issues and do something about what I believe in. Really appreciate you taking the time to figure out who I am and let the world know who I am! Now you know I'm not a coward hiding behind a keyboard!

@jorgje @robbackie @DrNeilStone Apparently he tried to run for office a year or two ago in AZ, frivolously sued someone to get them off a ballot… lost that suit (go figure), then lost the primary he’s a businessman, he stands on business 😭

Hard to tell if measles vaccine works

@killermanhomer @jorgje @DrNeilStone Guys. I wish you the best. You won’t get anything more from me. Personal attacks show lack of any ability to have fact based discussion.

@robbackie @jorgje @DrNeilStone Defaulting to “bots” and “no blue checkmark, no opinion” when challenged with verifiable conflicting information is wild. Maybe that passes for discourse in your circles. In mine, it’s called ad hominem.

@liveseeds @DrNeilStone I don’t have an issue with vaccines. Heck I got the Covid jab and also got sick twice with it. I do have an issue with intellectual honesty. You should be demanding more from people who post, especially people who claim to be experts

@robbackie @DrNeilStone Fair point re: bots. The infestation on this platform is rife. I’m not interested in funding any of Musk’s ventures, I’m afraid. But what exactly is your core issue with COVID vaccines? Other vaccines too? The data on excess deaths in the unvaccinated versus vaxed is undeniable.

After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever

@killermanhomer @jorgje @DrNeilStone Bots at work! Using the racist card demonstrates you can’t hold an intelligent conversation. Use your real name, get validated and then your opinion will be worth something

@jorgje @robbackie @DrNeilStone it’s funny bc a simple google search looking at validated studies shows it’s bc of vaccine hesitancy/anti vax movements spreading misinformation about these vaccines which ofc naturally leads to less ppl vaccinated against measles —> easy outbreak to be had

@liveseeds @DrNeilStone Use your full name and get authenticated so we know you’re not a bot. And then we can talk. Eat the salad and reread what I posted.

@robbackie @DrNeilStone Sorry Robert, If you have a genuine safety claim, bring data, not a courtroom word salad about controls. Broadly speaking more people have undergone a COVID clinical trial than any other medicine given there were multiple trials. Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, Novavax, Sinovac, Sputnik.

@DrNeilStone @NBSaphierMD And like that I lose another person I enjoy watching on Fox News.

I don't agree with @NBSaphierMD on everything but of course that's fine. She's qualified, smart and an exceptional communicator. Very good pick for Surgeon General in my opinion

Here is the CDC definition of testing Medical testing for a vaccine involves a rigorous, multi-year process to ensure safety and effectiveness, starting with preclinical lab studies, followed by three phases of clinical trials on human volunteers, and final approval by regulatory agencies like the FDA.

That's not what he said in his post... Real world evidence is good, but medical testing requires controls, outcome tracking and more. It's part of the approval process for any medication and vaccine. If @DrNeilStone wants to say "real world evidence" says that it is safe, then that's a good statement. But when he says 8 Billion (BILLION) doses represents Medical testing, he is wrong. We need to trust science and medicine. "Experts" need to be careful on how they represent science/medicine to ensure they are accurate, honest and do not cause misinformation.

No, not right

@DrNeilStone In a previous post you stated that 8 Billion doses made it a huge "test" of the vaccine... You should retract the other post... and let everyone know you did because it hurts your scientific creds.

@virtualhistoria @DrNeilStone 2) The USA's life expectancy drops because of stupidity... biggest contributors are Drugs, Motor Accidents, Suicide/murder and Obesity. None of these have anything to do with access to care.

@robbackie @DrNeilStone The UK has a longer life expectancy than the USA. Americans die younger.

All these things are free the UK

@virtualhistoria @DrNeilStone Two thoughts... 1) we are talking about Cancer... The UK's cancer mortality rate is 26% HIGHER than the USA.

@DrNeilStone Good clarification on not really free... Wait time for Chemo in the UK is double what it is in the USA, adding over a month delay to treatment. Free stuff is great except when the "cost" can kill you.

Of course ultimately paid by our taxes but free at the point of care which is the key thing. The British NHS is great for life saving stuff, not so good for non urgent things.
