@mystik

I already pointed out I was mistaken.. you can turn off the snarkyness now.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1

@mystik you were never in the south, weren't?

I mean, the real south, no the one with Sherman's neckties :awesome:

@TruthAndFreedom @freemo @ew

@mystik

It make sense. Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are new technology.

I would say that if someone want to get vaccinated and are still afraid, try with the Johnson & Johnson or AstraZeneca (false alarm at trombosis) vaccines.

Those vaccines are classic vaccines. Old fashion vaccines for COVID19.

In fact Johnson & Johnson vaccine have fantastic metrics.

@TruthAndFreedom @freemo @ew

@mystik

For old people the best ones are AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson. The last one is authorized and available.

100% dosis will not be due until 2023 minimum because studies are 3 years long (as fast, they could last longer).
@TruthAndFreedom @freemo @ew

@pthenq1 @TruthAndFreedom @freemo @ew You are trying to kill more people, aren't you?

Karma is a bitch, you know?

@mystik

On the contrary. My parents are already vaccinated. They are 90+ yo. They got the first dosis. They are OK.

At the same time, if someone refuse the vaccine... all good. It is voluntary.

@TruthAndFreedom @freemo @ew

@pthenq1

Most people who get the vaccine will be fine. If there are medical issues we wont see it for many months down the line

@mystik @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @ew

@freemo @pthenq1 @TruthAndFreedom @ew This is an idiotic comment.
Risking permanent paralysis over a fucking flu.

@mystik

I have seen no good evidence to suggest the vaccine causes paralysis in the short term. Any short term health concerns from the vaccine of any significant concern are very unlikely or nonexistant.

The risks are simply long-term unknowns, not short term risks, those are mostly accounted for.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @ew

@freemo

yes @ vaccine risks.

Same with the virus. We are bias. We associate COVID with effects similar to flu because both attack breathing system.

But we do not know the long effects of covid. If any.

@mystik @TruthAndFreedom @ew

@pthenq1

COVID is about 10x worse than the flu.. not the end of the world, but bad enough to take seriously.

@mystik @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @ew

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @freemo @mystik @pthenq1 i've never seen someone seriously reply to that article bet he'll avoid it

@ew

Its pretty easy to respond to really. Neither I nor most data scientists rely on CDC data at all. It is one tiny blip across countless data sets and only when they all agree do we draw conclusions from it.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

sorry to disappoint your psychic abilities but I sure did. In fact its a rather old article and isnt even the first time I came across it

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 Even that 500 figure for the U.S. could be too high, according to analyses in authoritative journals such as the American Journal of Public Health and the British Medical Journal. Only about 15-20 per cent of people who come down with flu-like symptoms have the influenza virus -- the other 80-85 per cent actually caught rhinovirus or other germs that are indistinguishable from the true flu without laboratory tests, which are rarely done. In 2001, a year in which death certificates listed 257 Americans as having died of flu, only 18 were positively identified as true flus. The other 239 were simply assumed to be flus and most likely had few true flus among them.

"U.S. data on influenza deaths are a mess," states a 2005 article in the British Medical Journal entitled "Are U.S. flu death figures more PR than science?" This article takes issue with the 36,000 flu-death figure commonly claimed, and with describing "influenza/pneumonia" as the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S.

"But why are flu and pneumonia bundled together?" the article asks. "Is the relationship so strong or unique to warrant characterizing them as a single cause of death?"

The article's answer is no. Most pneumonia deaths are unrelated to influenza. For example, "stomach acid suppressing drugs are associated with a higher risk of community-acquired pneumonia, but such drugs and pneumonia are not compiled as a single statistic," explained Dr. David Rosenthal, director of Harvard University Health Services. "People don't necessarily die, per se, of the [flu] virus -- the viraemia. What they die of is a secondary pneumonia."

@ew

What the fuck are you on about.. I read it, why are you pretending to be psychic and telling me what I did and did not read... I asked you if you are asking me a question about what you posted. Are you trying to ask **me** while they are bundled, you seemed to answer your own question so im asking what are you asking me? Or are you going to deflect again and tell me I didnt read ?

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 36,000 flu deaths in 2001 was actually 500, but it was actually 18 deaths. what exactly does "10x more deadly than the flu" even mean? where did all the flu deaths go? why has the flu been eradicated? what is the replication crisis and why are 70% of all studies false?

@ew

As I stated before your talking about a data set that I didnt een use to come up with the figure I stated.. so any inaccuracies in it really isnt relevant to the assertion in the first place, im not using the source your accusing, so its moot.

Second, the number of cases are irrelevant, my statement is about your chance of survival if you catch the diseases (mortality rate) and therefore is uneffected by the number of people in the general population who get the diseases.

Third, when calculating mortality to ensure we get utmost accuracy we use a more restrictive dataset that only inclues the people who are actually tested to ensure we are measuring influenza or covid.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 10x 18 people is 180 deaths

>when calculating mortality to ensure we get utmost accuracy
your anecdotal science is bullshit that can't accurately predict anything.

@ew

Taking large samples of people and testing them to objectively verify how many have the disease, then track who survives is not anecdotal, that would be the exact opposite of anecdotal actually.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 it is not objective, it is anecdotal research, and 70% of studies are false. the overall death rate has not budged. you have not addressed a single point I've made you have just been telling me to believe in your cult

https://healthcorrelator.blogspot.com/2021/01/has-covid-led-to-increase-in-all-cause.html

@ew

Umm ok, I guess that explains why "no one ever debunked your link"... apparently lots of people do you just pretend like they didnt and then go one some tantrum that makes no sense... cool seems we are at an impasse then, im not sure your capable of understanding why your wrong no matter what I say.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 you have yet to rebuke a single point I've made so far, you just go "we analyzed the data hurr durr"

@ew

No thats not what I said... I will repeat the rebuke a second time since your too emotional to see it..

All your concerns and the link were directed at the CDC's data set.. true or not, I (and the scientists I trust) did not use the data set or the process you accused of being inaccurate. Therefore I was able to arrive at my conclusion without any of your concerns being relevant since they apply to a data set I did not use.

There, now understand why your point was so easily dismissed? Or are you still going to pretend you dont understand why your whole argument and the article has no relevance to my statement?

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 how do you get a dataset that proves someone would have died specifically due to the cold and not the flu or tripping down stairs

@ew

by using tests that are able to determine if they have the disease combines with the circumstances of the death which tends to involve a second test to show the viral load had increased since the first, and by monitoring symptoms...

When someone is in the ICU from falling down th steps they will have very different symptoms then if they are there because the virus has progressed, the viral load will also be different.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

Follow

@ew

There are countless different types of tests that can be employed, I did not state what test was used, which shows why you are not a reliable person to discuss this with. Instead of **asking** what test was used and the reliability of the test you just cherry picked some noise about some random test without any understanding if it was even the test involved in the analysis I described.. can you not see how that makes you an unreliable source of any judgement on this?

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Already did, in fact **I** brought up the replication crisis first in this thread about an hour ago.. nice try though.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Nope, replication crisis is largely contained to psychology (youd know that if you read the link you posted)... it doesnt apply to science in general.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 you don't read anything. "The replication crisis most severely affects the social sciences and medicine."

@ew

From the article in the section about medicine:

"Out of 49 medical studies from 1990–2003 with more than 1000 citations, 45 claimed that the studied therapy was effective. Out of these studies, 16% were contradicted by subsequent studies, 16% had found stronger effects than did subsequent studies, 44% were replicated, and 24% remained largely unchallenged.["

In other words only 16% of studies couldnt be replicated, and 84% of them could either be replicated, or the final results agreed with the study and the study actually **downplayed** their results such that it showed a greater success rate than claimed...

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1 I already said I'm done w/ you. there's more than one study on the replication crisis. go hit the treadmill you fucking weirdo

@ew

cool, feel free to go away then, all the braincells of all the people in this thread will be happy for that... bye dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@freemo @ew @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom @mystik @pthenq1

On the psychology thing, this is an amusing/poignant comparison of the scientific relevance of parapsychology versus psychology research.

https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/04/28/the-control-group-is-out-of-control/

@toiletpaper

Agreed, the replication crisis says a lot about the various disciplines and the challenges they face regarding objectivity and reproducibility.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @mystik @cowanon @ew

@cowanon

Man you have a stroke or something since we used to chat.. you got a hell of a lot stupider siince then. You used to be able to hold a decent conversation, now you just got noise

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @mystik @ew

@mystik @freemo @TruthAndFreedom @ew @pthenq1 Experimental gene therapy masquerading as vaccines, akshually.

@ew

I thought you were done with me... I see your not the brightest bulb in the batch, tagging me is the exact opposite of "being done with me". I think what you meant is "I will now have a temper tantrum and go full snowflake because facts make me mad"

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Huh? I dont care in the least if you tag me. Just pointing out what an idiot you look like saying your done talking to me then proceeding to continue to talk to me.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Yea you've replied to me several times actually. I know reality is tricky for you, but your actually replying to me right now, just like you did in the previous message, and many times before that.

You are like biden, you barely even know where you are or what your doing, HA!
