why don’t you want ivermectin to work?
i don’t know about others, but i question the safety of the vaccines because i have seen four different people end up in the hospital, including my father who spent 2 weeks in the hospital with “pneumonia” shortly after his injections.
another man had a stroke, a 19 year-old boy spent the night for observation because of extreme pain, and another fellow’s heart issues suddenly came back after many years.
anecdotes, and so, what can i prove? it’s always just another coincidence.
honestly, would you buy a car that was associated with (anecdotally, self-reportedly) 12,000 reports of death in its first year.
well, since i scroll up, i haven’t read the rest yet, but, all my best wishes to you, deflationista, and to your mom, and any family and friends going through such a trying time.
i wonder if jeffrey epstein will be at mr. obama’s birthday shindig this year…
martha’s vineyard is named after a relative of an original saxon conquistador. i therefore propose changing the name to something more appropriate for our times, solgell island.

that’s what the vaccines are for. just wait. they’ll be sprouting soon, right from the left shoulder.
archie: i use some kind of “reader” plug in with my browser. it strips away all the gunk, leaving just text. and, conveniently, this plug in often jumps the paywall.
órale, tae summary. i didn’t think anybody would notice my levels of government. just excellent optimizations.
bravo.

hmmm, last updated pour moi, yet my post is nowhere, and it tells me i have a duplicate post.

about that lobby popcorn – the salt just tears up your lips.
and ¿golden topping? that’s pure kompramat.
for archie:
As calls for the Food and Drug Administration to fully approve Covid-19 vaccines grow louder, the agency itself has little to say. This is a mistake. The agency insists it is “working as quickly as possible” and has suggested that full approval may come for at least one vaccine by the end of summer. The public is left wondering: What’s taking so long?
This isn’t just a minor nuisance. It undermines trust in the vaccines and damages the FDA’s most valuable asset — its credibility.
The drug regulators have good reason to insist on thoroughly reviewing many months of clinical trial data before fully licensing any medicine. The emergency use authorizations for the vaccines now administered in the U.S. were based on just two months of follow-up data — enough to be confident that the vaccines are safe, effective, and fit for use in response to a pressing need, but relying on a faster analysis than the FDA requires for its full approval process. To fully approve the vaccines, the FDA looks at more data and satisfies itself on a range of other issues, including developing detailed guidance on use.
This two-track system, allowing flexibility when circumstances demand it, makes sense. To many outside the agency, however, it seems contradictory. Late last year, the FDA pronounced the mRNA vaccines safe and effective enough for emergency use; many months later, it hasn’t fully licensed them. So are the vaccines safe and effective or not? That’s a reasonable question — and the agency has failed to answer it clearly.
With the delta variant racing through the population and the pace of vaccination in the U.S. still too slow, many observers, including some infectious-disease professionals, have accused the FDA of dragging its feet. Without transparent communication from the agency itself, it’s impossible to know whether that charge is correct. On Friday, an agency official said it was making further efforts to speed its review, making one wonder why every effort hadn’t already been made. The FDA traditionally hasn’t explained its ongoing work in detail, but hesitancy over the Covid-19 vaccines makes that reticence unacceptable.

If it’s now in a position to affirm that six months’ worth of clinical trial data provides stronger confirmation that the shots work safely, it should do so, and announce that the licenses will soon be forthcoming. It should also explain what further steps are involved, and how long they’ll take. This would reassure Americans that the shots are indeed safe and that anyone who hasn’t yet gotten them should go ahead without delay. It would assure businesses that requiring vaccinations for their employees right away is wise. And it would discourage states from forbidding vaccine mandates until the shots are fully approved.
One more thing. Right now, at a moment of exceptional stress, the FDA is hobbled by its lack of a permanent leader. After more than six months in office, President Joe Biden has yet to make the appointment. The agency’s professionals are surely aware of the urgency on vaccines. They know it would be a mistake to bow to pressure by cutting corners. Competently led, they can be more effective — and help restore public trust — simply by explaining what they’re doing.

dr. fauci was not lying when he said he did no gain of function research. his research was gain of infarction.

m.r. nice echoes in 5.
echoes:
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarineAnd no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the where’s or why’s
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the lighta favour (with “u”!), madamski cafonski: will you please post pink floyd (on the youtube) playing the above from the live at pompeii (10:20 version)?
gracias!
why isn’t there “gain of function” research for schools?

why isn’t there “gain of function” research for the arts?
why isn’t there “gain of function” research for bridges, roads and railways?
why isn’t there “gain of function” research for ethics?obama’s party will be fine. all the attendees are so repulsive that they have autogenerated social distancers, and thus could not get within 6 feet (2 metres just to be safe!) of each other even if they tried.
d benton: hahaha, when i ask people, “how ya doin?”, if they reply, “livin’ the dream”, i usually say, “better than the nightmare.”
i guess i’ll have to find a new retort.
what i still can’t fathom is how people can accept (beyond reasonable salaries) all that money for something that is supposed to be necessary for the survival of humanity.
“what?! you’re drowning? the life preserver? sure. got 25 bucks?”
