Dan you continue to be a Nazi ideologue in the service of sociopaths. I have tried for years to help you but it's hopeless isn't it. You won't stop sucking their ass in the promotion of fascism. You horrible piece of evil.
I wish you would get what you have created for yourself but there is no justice. The innocent will be oppressed by the elitist liars you support as a sycophant and justice will never prevail. It's horrible. You could switch sides but they are tossing bones at you and you will sell out the good for a tiny token. It's horrible.
Right. So there was a global consensus, promoted by certain folks, that adherence to academics was the secret to national success.
And the Soviets bought in to that propaganda, to their detriment. They spent a fortune and produced the most well-educated and thoughtful population in human history. A couple of their satellite states even achieved genuine 100% literacy. Not 100% rounded but 100% exact.
The campaign thus was a success. It was amazing. Fortunes were spent on the totally unimportant goal of an egalitarian society where everyone is respected and helped.
Being smart isn't how you succeed as top dog in this era.
edit: Downvotes away uneducated ignoranti with no counterpoints! Yee haw!
It's astonishing how virulently your very sensible post is getting downvoted. By bots? Or actual HN real people? Either possibility is very very bad for humanity.
> even people who recover, this does long term lung and maybe heart damage
The problematic ACE2 receptor sites are also in the brain, intestines and liver and have seen damage. The brain one is the most alarming one from a survival perspective. We survive, but with irreparable permanent brain damage. We're no longer ourselves, we have a different personality, and we are incapable of doing our previous jobs. Is death preferable?
> For nearly 2 million years, ancient humans crafted stones into hand-size balls, but archaeologists were unsure why.
Wait, for nearly 2 million years ... humans? Starting and ending when? Do we have human remains from more than 2 million years ago? Turkana Boy is 1.5 million years old and close to modern physiology, once you get back to 2 million isn't it australopithicus and such?
> That changed when Assaf and her team came across a cache of 30 stone balls in Qesem Cave in Israel, where humans lived from about 400,000 to 200,000 years ago
I wonder if 2 million is a typo for 200 thousand?
> these stones "might have helped enhance human caloric intake and adaptation in the lower Paleolithic period," (2.7 million to 200,000 years ago), at Qesem Cave and possibly beyond, the researchers wrote in the study.
Whew, OK, so 2.7 million years ago is their starting point on this. That's interesting. Who was shaping stones that far back?
An interesting other site is the Cerutti Mastodon site in San Diego with 130kYBP mastodon bones possibly crushed with similar stones which were found at the site.
> The New York State Health Department reports the average vaccination rate for measles among the nearly 200 Jewish K-12 schools in Brooklyn — mainly in Borough Park and Williamsburg — is 96%, six percentage points higher than the statewide average among private schools. In contrast, six other New York counties have a vaccination rate below 50%.
Submitter has made zero comments. Thanks for supporting your pet cause of antisemitism though.
Let's review.
> According to their analysis of public data, published in the New York Daily News, Orthodox schools in Brooklyn had an unweighted average vaccination rate of 96 percent. That’s higher than the 95 percent vaccination rate experts recommend in order for a community to be collectively immune from the disease.
So the claim made that Orthodox Jews are to blame for measles because they don't get vaccinated is complete and absolute bullshit, totally disproven, and without merit. Why are you pushing it then soperj?
OK so that Novartis thing. Trump gets elected. According to the second article there Novartis tracks down Trump's lawyer and signs a contract for him to "advise" them on US health care policy matters.
Then after they sign the contract they meet with him and determine that he "would be unable to provide the services that Novartis had anticipated". Without details but it sounds like they said, "OK we gave you all this money, we don't really want legal advice, we want you to influence the President or tell us privileged information" and Cohen said "No way that is unethical." They then had to pay the rest of the contract since it could only be terminated for cause and "lawyer refuses to commit crimes" isn't valid cause.
So yeah, Novartis is one of many companies that makes generic HCQ and sells it at near cost. It's not a money maker for them at all. It definitely sounds like they were trying to do something unethical and illegal here, but how is the fact their lawyer refused to go along with it evidence of something wrong with Cohen or any of his other clients?
Thanks for that link. So that's a mutual fund that like most mutual fund includes some pharmaceutical companies.
Like most people with any 401k retirement savings or other stock holdings (includes most people in the US), I have a mix of mutual funds and indexed funds that include stocks I've never heard of and don't care to know anything about. I bet I own part of some company that makes HCQ as well. I probably also own Big Tobacco, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Defense, Offense, and a bunch of other horrible things, as probably nearly everyone that posts here does as well without realizing it.
> This is this the more toxic variant though right? It’s meant to be hydroychloroquine
Hydroxychloroquine has fewer side effects than chloroquine which has fewer side effects than quinine which has fewer side effects than the bark it's made from that contains a bunch of other compounds including quinidine.
All quinine class drugs produce heart arrhythmia as a side effect in some patients, more so with increasing doses, and all come with warnings that they should not be used or should be used with caution in patients with heart conditions. These contraindications of these widely used drugs have been known for decades.
