Any thoughts on the article posted as opposed to the poster...? That article, if nothing else, reads like a conspiracy theorist's dream boat...but I also don't know anything about the database thing it's talking about...
Quite honestly I think we've mostly learned engaging with nobody is a long winding road to nowhere. I don't think you're going to get a response
Yeah, you guys do nothing but that at this point. That's why I was asking Trip if he had thoughts on the thing, not the...thingee?

I mean, look at the events...nobody posts an article and c2i et al. come down and just flame away without even pretending to frame it as being related to what was posted...I'm not saying nobody isn't inflammatory too a fair bit, but damn, no mirrors in your houses...?
Plant, grow... this is a prime example of that.
No it isn’t.

Just for the record... when the study was first posted ITT, this was Grunty's reaction:
Not listening to an observational study. I can post several large observational studies that show it does work.
So at the time, he had no interest in discussing a study that conflicted with what he wanted to read. Now that there might be some issues with the study... "WHY WON'T ANYONE SERIOUSLY DISCUSS THIS WITH ME?!?!?!"

Never once said it was effective. Never.
Now I know "I can post several large observational studies that show it does work" is not word for word "It's effective", but c'mon man... It's time to stop acting like you're neutral and objective on this.

Not listening means, not basing my opinions on whether it works or not.

My next post.
That is why these observational trials are almost useless, and that goes both ways showing it either has efficacy and or has no benefit.

I don't know if it is effective yet. I haven't seen any RCT thats says it is or isn't yet in the early phases of the disease.

Are we still allowed to post about Trump being a piece of **** ITT or is that frowned upon now?

I mentioned it but I think it got buried in the previous discussion

The key, apparently, is to be more creative in the presentation of the critique. Because it seems that's more egregious than the underlying conduct being criticized.

It is at least slightly comforting to see more center right and apolitical folks coming in to **** on trump, and getting roped into the amusing nonsense of this thread.

Pretty clearly, just drop the "this is normal" shtick...pretty obvious...you can get indignant if you'd like, but it's for every sane person's benefit...

Here’s the both sides to that.... people should stop trying to draw parallels to predecessors whenever something happens to try to prove it’s normal.

I posted the "this is normal" thing as a joke. I mean, yeah, it gets old seeing everything Trump does be dismissed as "Dems did the same!", but I certainly wasn't posting it as a damning and insightful indictment of the POTUS. I don't know why people have their panties in a wad but there are more than enough chiefs in here trying to dictate what is allowed to be posted and, last I checked, none of them moderate this message board. :slug:

Well, the moderators have become the lighter fluid...and I'm the people's champ. So, everyone can thank me now or later after they realize how great I am. No autographs...

This is normal behavior by an American president.

For what it's worth, I never believed HCQ would work because it was obvious Trump was pushing it for business purposes, and doesn't know Jack's*** or care if it works.

one of my favorite things about all of Trump's tweets is that you're guaranteed to have a Eugene Gu tweet thread attacking Trump and then a Real Defender and "The Right Melissa" thread below that defending Trump

it's kind of weird/alarming/hilarious

I’d argue it’s for political purposes. At that juncture he was trying to still argue that the virus was under control and they were doing a good job with the damage control.

At this point he just trying to get everyone to move on to something else and claim that he did an awesome job and that they did an awesome job despite Obama sabotaging his adminstration. It’s pretty funny to think people believe, at worst, trump did as bad as France or the UK.
