You should not apologize. That was an awesome idea!

And, tang-soo, I’d film myself testing it on a mango and it showing the results.
That’s what you would show along with telling them their test is, as we say in Texas, bool sheeeit .
Dr. Scott Atlas: Science Killed Itself Over COVID-19
‘Science is not supposed to be about intimidating, or abusing, or censoring data ... There is never supposed to be ‘an accepted view’ of science.’
https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/01/dr-scott-atlas-science-killed-itself-over-covid-19/
Excerpt:
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the American people have been told to âfollow the science.â Yet for a year and a half, theyâve heard contradicting messages from self-appointed prophets of âthe scienceâ like Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
We learned that politicians who claimed their decisions were science-driven often ignored scientific findings that didnât fit certain political narratives. We discovered that scientists are fallible human beings, and some would let personal interests and political views cloud their judgment.
Is science itself one of the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic? I asked Dr. Scott Atlas at the 13th annual Freedom Conference hosted by the Steamboat Institute, a Colorado-based nonprofit organization. Formerly a professor and chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, Atlas is now a senior fellow in health policy at the Hoover Institution.
...âScienceâ Destroyed Its Own Credibility
Atlas has refused to be silenced. He has a lot to say about how the scientific field and Americansâ trust in it have been tremendously harmed during the COVID-19 pandemic. âScience has been not just a victim,â he told me, âbut actively participated in the self-destruction of its credibility.â
To prove his point, Atlas referred to the now infamous letter published in Lancet, which denounced the lab-leak theory as a âconspiracyâ that created âfear, rumors, and prejudice.â Facebook âfact-checkersâ used the letter to censor discussion of the lab-leak theory for more than a year.
It then surfaced in The Daily Mail that Peter Daszak, president of Eco Health Alliance, orchestrated a group of scientists to write the letter without disclosing the EHAâs close financial ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Now many scientists accept that the WIV lab-leak theory is just as probable as the natural origin theory.
Atlas also faulted leading scientific publications such as Nature and Lancet for playing âimportant roles in enabling, encouraging, and enforcing the false narrative.â In June, journalist Ian Birrell cited one source who estimated the publisher of Nature had sponsorship agreements worth millions of dollars from Chinese institutions.
âScience is not supposed to be about intimidating, countering interpretation of data, or abusing, or censoring data,â Atlas said. âScience is not supposed to have a view. Science is only about data and the scientific process. There is never supposed to be âan accepted viewâ of science.â
...Politicians and pundits also lost peopleâs trust by advocating regulations that were not based in fact. âThe phrase âfollow the scienceâ should never be uttered again by people who do not know actual data. They must stop,â Atlas said. âThey have no credibility whatsoever when they get up and say, âfollow the science.â Itâs clear many of them donât know the science, donât understand the science, and they are not using the science to make the recommendations.â
How can science and scientists recover from this trust deficit? âIt depends on only one thing â the visibility of the scientific process, which by definition is about the visibility of the data,â Atlas said. âThere should be no censorship of views and interpretation of different data. Do not intimidate or issue harsh condemnations of people just because you disagree with them. Let the truth prevail by the data.â
...Lockdowns destroyed people, Atlas said, by âshutting down medical care, stopping people from seeking emergency medical care, increasing drug abuse, increasing death by suicide, more psychological damage, particularly among the younger generation. Hundreds and thousands of child abuse cases went unreported. Teenagersâ self-harm cases have tripled.â
Atlas also noted the increase of other deaths like tuberculosis, caused by the worldâs focus on COVID-19. The World Health Organization warned in 2020 of up to an additional 400,000 deaths from tuberculosis because of the diversion of resources to COVID-19. âMortality data showing that anywhere from a third or half of the deaths during the pandemic were not due to COVID-19,â Atlas said. âThey were extra deaths due to the lockdowns.â
Besides causing health issues, the lockdowns have enormous economic costs, especially for poor people and developing countries. The Bangladesh economyâs shutdown during the pandemic, Atlas noted, was forecast to wipe out about $3 billion and close to 900,000 jobs off the nationâs economy with a devastating effect on the nationâs poor.
...Ultimately, Atlas said, the most important lesson to learn from the COVID-19 pandemic is that individuals must take responsibility for their own health-related decisions. We should never surrender our autonomy and capability to assess our risk tolerance to bureaucrats or the so-called expert class.
LL many thankQs; I detest the media for twisting stuff and putting in the cr@p about OD’ing.
I do believe the part about prescriptions going thru the roof.
I hope the Drs push back about the boosters; if they can be pushed while being off label, then so can Iver.
Thank you. cherry. I have my own business so I’m not worried about a work mandate. It’s the government mandate to keep me out of restaurants, bars and clubs (golf, bridge). All by itself, that wouldn’t bother me either, except in principle, but I’m very alarmed about the slippery slope we’re on. I know this is only the start. I expect that what we’re seeing in Australia is my future - confined to my property unless I accept the jab. I’m researching a legal challenge to the “law”.

Can’t very well do that if someone is deaf and uses a caption phone on a landline or cablemodem.
So all of this supplement and medicine talk is Greek to me. I have however printed Dr. Z’s protocol. First hurdle, elemental zinc. My choice is zinc sulfate 220mg which yields 50mg of elemental zinc. Next hurdle is Quercetin 500mg, which is bioflaviniod. As I understand it’s a strong antioxidant. Ordered both today. Ensured they were sourced from the US. Not expensive.
Our family does not take medicine. I would consider the family in low risk category. Next will be to obtain the prescription medication detailed in the high risk protocol.
Please share your experiences. I think we all learn from each other.
Afghan interpreter: âVast majority of Afghans always viewed Taliban as lesser of two evilsâ compared to US
Excerpt:
Baktash Ahadi says this is all about culture, but doesnât mention what drives the cultural differences: religion. Many Afghans often viewed the U.S. with suspicion because the U.S. was not Muslim. Many understood âhearts and mindsâ initiatives as an attempt to entice Afghans away from Islam: âAnd the Jews will not be pleased with you, neither will the Christians, until you follow their religion.â (Qurâan 2:120)
âOpinion: I was a combat interpreter in Afghanistan, where cultural illiteracy led to U.S. failure,â by Baktash Ahadi, Washington Post, August 31, 2021:
âŚHow could Afghanistan have collapsed so quickly?
As a former combat interpreter who served alongside U.S. and Afghan Special Operations forces, I can tell you part of the answer â one thatâs been missing from the conversation: culture.
When comparing the Taliban with the United States and its Western allies, the vast majority of Afghans have always viewed the Taliban as the lesser of two evils. To many Americans, that may seem an outlandish claim. The coalition, after all, poured billions of dollars into Afghanistan. It built highways. It emancipated Afghan women. It gave millions of people the right to vote for the first time ever.
All true. But the Americans also went straight to building roads, schools and governing institutions â in an effort to âwin hearts and mindsâ â without first figuring out what values animate those hearts and what ideas fill those minds. We thus wound up acting in ways that would ultimately alienate everyday AfghansâŚ.

Upon Trump’s return every Muslim Afghan should be put back in the cargo planes and dropped off in a Muslim country. They are a pestilence to civilization.
Youâre welcome.
Also, no prescription needed.
Truth is that I could retire yesterday except I need health insurance to keep her happy....so back to the salt mines...cause truth is I still love her. :)

That’s very sweet and a good reason to work.
If Japan can show undeniable improvement in illness and death with the use of ivermectin, it will become more difficult for other countries to continue to deny its effectiveness and use. To do so will look increasingly like intentional murder, or at least one of the degrees of professional negligence.
I love it !!!!
Canny (clever) Scot; he waited till the fine was substantial to them, and made em an offer they couldn’t refuse.
If they turned it down, he could then say “look, these guys turned down an opportunity to donate to the veterans”.
Then, being a builder, he researched from where the height was measured, and finding it was measured from the “ground” made the ground 30 feet high.
Love it !!!
If there is any place for comments in that article, I’d ask em “what happens if someone doesn’t have a cellphone because they’re deaf and use a caption phone on a landline or cablemodem?”
Re: Toronto No Vaxx Passport Protest -
Thank you. I tried to send an email to Ford to express my disapproval but the email refused to send. I must be on a list. So ... snail mail it will be. If I could hear of these protests in advance, I’d surely attend. I need to find a way to get on THAT list.
I don’t see my name and unfortunately, I don’t know how to send you my “signature”. So could my name just be printed on the poster? TIA Gypsy286

@Alpha_Mind7 ¡ 15h The Australian federal government is planning to de-anonymize the internet to introduce a social credit system to combat "online abuse" - police will have access to individuals' social media accounts, which will be linked to people's passports.
