Ever get the feeling that when they have no hard data they make models and they tend to go with worse case scenario and the guy who follows decides that the first guys were a bit optimistic and so he makes his model a bit worse and then the next guy comes in....

And by the end something that is a bit of a nuisance becomes "THE END OF ALL LIFE" tm.

Nukes are GNARLY in large doses in SHORT periods.

You get a couple 100 Rems once. Goodbye !

BUT. After a short period. They degrade and give off low doses

Understand ?

I’ve noticed this with Dr. Fauci. I think in professions like his, the prognosis is one big exercise in CYA. If you get a happy outcome great, but at least he warned you that you might die.

Look at any drug commercial on TV. Underneath all the happy visuals there’s huge narrative “warning label” of all the side-effects — even the most statistically unlikely. The dominate the commercials and are a distraction.

That kind of crazy thinking is encouraged by our stupid press because extreme projections make the ‘news’ while people telling the truth are ‘boring’... One more reason newspapers are dying.
