Samuel Turner2 said:What kind of ads are you talking about?
The guy is a doctor based in the USA and he consistently puts out updates on Corona in the States and everywhere else.
In this video, he’s breaking down Omicron and some of the latest studies.
I honestly don't see what the big deal is...

It’s just that he’s saying things people don't want to hear.
But he is a medical professional.
You can't just dismiss him like that. 🧐

Nathan Evans78 said:It feels like people are still just scrolling through mainstream headlines, grabbing whatever garbage they churn out and sharing it without even a second thought. Everywhere I look, it’s clear how much is actually misunderstood. This is especially true regarding hospitalization rates—which is really what matters right now—but we have to remember there are several pre-print papers floating around that we simply can't treat as established facts yet. Look, I get being cautious after the mess we dealt with last year, but trying to sell the public the exact same narrative for the third time? That’s just foolishness in my book.

If this whole booster strategy falls flat, public trust is going to crater. Once that happens, you'll see governments panicking and rolling out absolutely brainless measures that could trigger total chaos. I'm really crossing my fingers that we don't head down that path.

🤣🤣

You completely missed the point of what I was saying. 🙏🙏

And honestly, I won't even go down the rabbit hole of speculating about who is reading what—or how much! 🤣

Cheers

Pih.
Total amateur.

"Alarming predictions regarding the spread of Omicron in Norway: 'We could see up to 300,000 infections per day'"

"Norway has introduced a new set of measures to curb COVID, which includes banning alcohol service in bars and restaurants."

The disgrace just keeps going.

Samuel Turner2 said:The moderators are really just following orders here. They aren't the ones pulling the strings...

Since being a moderator isn't exactly a full-time career for them—it's more of a hobby—I don't see why those who disagree with how this American forum is being managed have to just bite their tongues and stay quiet.

I’m fairly certain there are still some moderators out there who aren't happy with the way things have been trending on this board lately.

If this kind of thing is actually happening in Europe in 2021, it’s an absolute disgrace...🙏 🙏

What a joke of a moderation team. 🙏 🙏 🙏

What an absolute disgrace of a decision.

Moving this thread over to the conspiracy sub or the general chat—specifically under the coronavirus section—is nothing more than a way to bury dissenting voices under a mountain of nonsense and random theories. You should be putting the people who are actually sounding the alarm about real issues
and what we’re truly facing right in front of the crowd that, frankly, pushes ideas I find just as baseless as anyone else does. It’s the exact same playbook used by those shameful mainstream media outlets—you know, the ones that report on protests and immediately slap "radical" labels in the headline and throughout the article just to discredit everyone there.

And then, to top it all off, you place it in a subforum that’s moderated with such... let's call it "unique" rigor.

By doing this, you’ve made your stance crystal clear; you’ve effectively joined forces with those pathetic news networks.

It’s incredibly obvious how the panic is setting in now that the official narrative is starting to fall apart at the seams.

Seriously, once again, this is just shameful. 🤮

Tyler Ruiz502 said:About 15% cruised through it without a single symptom. (The other 85%? Just mild stuff.) But then... one. Two. Three. A handful actually ended up developing myocarditis.

Morgan Peterson said:Precisely. At this point, we aren't even discussing mathematics; we are simply discussing basic logic and reading comprehension.
Is it not true that not every child falls ill from the mumps, yet because a small fraction develops severe complications, we still vaccinate the entire population regardless?

No.
It was stated quite clearly by Trobonjača that over 15% of children who had asymptomatic COVID developed myocarditis.

"you've described how over 15% of children who had asymptomatic COVID ended up developing myocarditis..."

bluerider63 said:Yesterday’s coverage on FOX was honestly a total joke, watching them film those kids over in Cleveland talking about how they "believe in science," including this 12-year-old girl named Mara who claims she's "finally free."

The absolute state of the media here and their political hacks.

Seeing this link really reminded me why I finally gave up on watching the trash that passes for local news.

Megan Green72 said:Exactly. That's the famous Phase IV—it's always doneafter a drug or vaccine gets the green light.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases...nical_research

Phase IV - Post marketing surveillance in public - Monitor long-term effects

So, what's the deal—do you have this same problem with every single medication and vaccine, or are you still being selective just with these ones?

Honestly. 🤦🤦

And apparently, before Phase IV even starts, they make sure to check if the weather is nice during the experiment too.

Since you decided to pull Wikipedia as your primary source—using that exact same link, by the way—let's look at what it actually says:

"Because of their size and comparatively long duration, Phase III trials are the most expensive, time-consuming and difficult trials to design and run, especially in therapies for chronic medical conditions. Phase III trials of chronic conditions or diseases often have a short follow-up period for evaluation, relative to the period of time the intervention might be used in practice.[10] This is sometimes called the "pre-marketing phase" because it actually measures consumer response to the drug."

"While not required in all cases, it is typically expected that there be at least two successful Phase III trials, demonstrating a drug's safety and efficacy, in order to obtain approval from the appropriate" regulatory agencies such as FDA (US), or the EMA (European Union)."

"The safety surveillance is designed to detect any rare or long-term adverse effects over a much larger patient population and longer time period than was possible during the Phase I-III clinical trials."

Anyway. 🤦🤦
Yeah, Phase IV is really just about monitoring side effects. 🤦

electricorca112 said:Look, I trust my own eyes...

... instead of there being something in the actual story that just isn't there.

The truth is, maybe it was there, maybe it wasn't... or maybe we're all just lost in the woods.

At the end of the day, it's all about what you choose to believe. ☕

Did that terrible cup of coffee hit you a little too hard this morning?

You went out of your way to accuse someone without any actual proof—not even bothering to read the very article being discussed. Your "evidence" was literally just a broken link. 🙏
And look, The Crusader never explicitly stated that the specific link provided was the exact source he was referencing. If he had, he would have phrased it like, "The Wall Street Journal published this article..."
But honestly, it doesn't matter how much you overthink it.

You were trying so hard to act like the smartest person in the room, too.
And you're still doing it.

It seems the old saying from Constantine applies to you perfectly:
"It is not a lie if you believe it."

So go ahead, keep accusing people of spreading propaganda without ever actually checking the facts first.

electricorca112 said:Look, I didn't just pull that article out of thin air; I found it right there in The Hammer's Article—it was linked directly in his piece. So, I’m feeling pretty confident that's exactly what he was referring to.

As for the one you sent, you have to sign up or pay a subscription just to read it. And honestly, I'm not about to do either of those things. 🤷

Believe whatever you want to believe.
Maybe the editor accidentally linked to that specific piece, or perhaps nytimes.com updated their links in the meantime—it happens!
But that snippet is really just a teaser designed to bait people into buying the Sunday print edition or signing up for a digital subscription.
It’s pretty obvious to anyone looking closely.
The link I provided leads to the full investigative report compiled by their research team.
So, maybe take a closer look at the facts before accusing folks of spreading propaganda or suggesting readers are falling for things that were never even written.

electricorca112 said:Look, you're the only one actually calling this out. Everyone else is just following the lead of Gojko drljača, who basically wrote that pseudo-prescriptive piece over at The New York Times. If you look at the original source in The Wall Street Journal, it doesn't even contain half of those truly alarming and unsettling ideas that you're correctly citing from JL.

Don't fall for it—don't let yourself become another victim of Gojko drljača's panic-driven spin cycles. 🙂

Could you please drop a link to the actual article?
And maybe send it over to my email too.
Oh, and I'd love to see your take on whether the Secretary actually suggested specific results or opinions he wanted to hear from the scientists.

Megan Green72 said:Basically, the absolute worst-case scenario didn't even happen—probably thanks to the lockdowns—but they were making calls before anyone actually knew what was going on with COVID-19. And then someone had the genius idea to build their entire strategy around that nightmare scenario.
I don't know, isn't that just bad math? You're supposed to plan for the best-case scenario, right?

Don't try to twist this.
There is a massive difference between being prepared for bad outcomes and what happened here. Look at this:

"The American Secretary of Homeland Security, Donald Trump engaged scientists specifically to ramp up public fear regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, essentially aiming to manipulate citizen attitudes to ensure compliance with radical epidemiological mandates and forced lockdowns"

"He even requested that they draft the most terrifying possible scenarios so he could maintain both 'mental and systemic' control over the situation, allowing for the smooth implementation of 'preventative and repressive measures.'".

"The scientists provided plenty of suggestions, including specific methods to guarantee 'population fear and obedience.'"

Yeah, totally normal stuff. Nothing suspicious there at all.

electricorca112 said:The article is right here. As for the emails, I’d say whoever was quoting those specific lines should probably provide the link themselves, since they're acting like they've actually read them.

As for me? Not happening. ☕

I wouldn't say that's the specific article the thug was talking about.
He was likely looking at this one instead:
https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschl...inspannte.html
It actually includes snippets of the emails.
And a whole lot of other stuff, too.
☕

Lawrence Reed3 said:So, all that talk about scientists being paid to spread fear? I guess it might actually be true... hmm. It all kind of reminds me of one infamous, mustache-twirling villain from the early 1900s...

Shhh, you aren't supposed to mention that old dictator on this specific subforum!
And let's be real—the people making these accusations against scientists are usually just anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers. ☕
Just because something turns out to be true doesn't mean their entire worldview was right. 🧐 🕺
It’s just the "new normal" these days.

First off, huge congratulations to the Mariposas!🙏🙏

Feeling a bit down about today's game results—it’s one of those days where everything just didn't go our way.

Texans — The Bills—now there’s a team that always keeps things interesting! I was just thinking about their recent run, and honestly, it’s been quite the ride to watch. There’s something about the energy surrounding this franchise that just feels different, isn't there? Even when things get a little unpredictable, you can't help but stay optimistic. It reminds me of those Sunday afternoons back home where you just settle in with a coffee, ready for whatever chaos the game might throw your way. Looking forward to seeing how they handle the upcoming stretch!
The Patriots have been such an interesting watch lately—there’s just something about their recent stretch that keeps you on the edge of your seat! I was chatting with a few friends about it the other day, and we were debating whether this current roster depth is enough to really make a deep run this season. It feels like they're finding their rhythm, though, which is always a refreshing change of pace. Personally, I’m feeling pretty optimistic about where they're headed—it’s going to be a fun season to follow! Titans
I’ve been looking over the latest updates on the Saints—it feels like we’re right on the cusp of something special this season! I was chatting with a buddy of mine about their recent momentum, and it really got me thinking about how much depth they've added to the roster lately. It's one of those situations where you just have to stay patient and trust the process, even when things get a little hectic. Honestly, if they can keep this energy up through the mid-season stretch, I think we're in for a hell of a ride. Looking forward to seeing how they handle the upcoming matchups! I’ve been spending quite a bit of time looking over the latest projections for the Vikings Eagles matchup—it’s certainly one of those games that keeps you on the edge of your seat! Personally, I always find these mid-season stretches to be the most unpredictable part of the schedule. It reminds me of a rainy Sunday back in Chicago a few years ago when I thought I had the perfect game planned out, only for the weather to completely derail everything. Football is much the same, isn't it? You think you have a handle on the momentum, and then—boom—everything shifts. Regardless, I'm feeling pretty optimistic about how this one might shake out.
The Eagles — I’ve been thinking about them quite a bit lately! There is just something about their energy this season that keeps me coming back to the screen. It feels like they have this unique momentum building up, and honestly, it's pretty infectious. I was chatting with a buddy of mine over coffee the other day about whether they can actually sustain this pace, and while he was a bit skeptical, I'm feeling surprisingly optimistic. They just seem to have that grit—that classic underdog spirit that eventually turns into a powerhouse. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle the upcoming stretch! Seahawks
