Unfortunately this isnt remotely accurate... look I dont like the GOP but bidens approval rating doesnt even approch 50%. I tis currently at 44% (average of all the most credible polls).. His **disapproval** rating is 51%.
It always amazes me how either side of the political line can just tell bald face lies and expect no one is going to catch it.
Then feel free to wait until I am home and as I said I will be more than happy to link you directly to some of my work... since clearly being the head of a company which exclusively works on COVID research is a bit too ambiguous for you.
@a_cup_of_sugar "undermined"... scientists arent here to make biased assertions.. things are nuanced and not as black and white as people want them to be... I made it clear that protections will reduce the virus, I also made it clear that the virus wont be eliminated and will not go away and resurge should we stop using those protections....
These are facts, protections reduce covid and never eliminate them, period...So your telling me you dont disagree with what I said yet are still arguing with me.
@a_cup_of_sugar And what phrase in there do you think represents "shouting down covid protections"... You mean the part where I explicitly state such protections can dwindle the disease down to insignificant levels?
Are you seriously going to say that you never heard a scientist claim COVID isnt going away? Clearly you are very disconnected from the scientific community since the idea that COVID is here to stay is the overwhelming majority opinion in my expiernce.
@a_cup_of_sugar@mastodon.The page is the current summary of our COVID data collection for all of our clinical studies. The linnk shows you the database which, references our clinical studies
@a_cup_of_sugar Please quote the part where I "shout down covid protections", now your behavior sounds even more strange.
@a_cup_of_sugar I'm guessing you also missed this part?
@a_cup_of_sugar Did you happen to notice the fact that my title at the company is head of all STEM operations (CIO) and internal operations (EVP) and that the **only** thing the company does is COVID research right now (though in the past we were working on cancer too)?
Like I said when I get home I am more than happy to link you to some COVID specific stuff.
More importantly you seem very strangly antagonistic... are you this confrontational everytime you find out someone is in the research field?
@a_cup_of_sugar I literally run a COVID research lab right now at Scentech and just told you two examples, my discovery of a system able to detect COVID from VoC as breath and the discovery of an algorithm used in disease proliferation.
@hasmis It will never die :)
@a_cup_of_sugar Sure thing, you can just search my name, but when im back home I can link you directly.
I am the lead over at Scentech right now. We analyze VoCs in COVID patients and I am the one who made it possible to classify covid from only a breath sample. Prior to that I worked with the DoD and invented an algorithm pre-COVID used to modeling disease proliferation.
@Hyolobrika@berserker.town hahaha
LOL these conservative baby names are just too much :)
Hey. So I originally got the attention of this thread as a moderator. After reviewing I can say that I dont think this quite crosses the line into something I would take any action on as a moderator. We have in the past moderated against blatant COVID misinformation, but it isnt based simply on what I personally deem incorrect, as there is a lot of room for discussion. The language is certainly hyperbolic and I wouldnt agree with the idea that masks are "incredibly harmful". Nor would I agree with the conclusion that they do nothing. That said he is arguing his case politely, and doing his best to provide evidence (even if he may be wrong or providing insufficient evidence). He also isnt crossing the line into implausable conspiracy theory nonsense.
Truth be told the issue of CO2 and effectiveness against COVID are open issues. It is true we do not have really good evidence to concretely conclude how effective it is against covid, though I think the evidence is clear enough that it does have **some** benefit. But it is a hard thing to test and show concretely and as such it is an open question for scientific consideration. It is also true that CO2 levels when wearing masks exceeds the healthy recommended **long-term** exposure levels. This is a weak argument when we talk about short-term mask usage, but the point is this is well within the bounds for an open conversation on these points.
Furthermore there are some legitimate concerns with masks for children. The issue of the effect of masks on deaf children who rely on lip reading for example is significant.
So for the record I want to make clear I do strongly disagree with his language and conclusions here regarding masks, but it is well within the realm of things that are open to healthy, mature, respectful discussion on and has not crossed over into conspiracy theory land yet, lets keep it that way, thanks.

@WallStreetSilv Who is the woman int he crypto square, I know I have seen her... Is that the woman from Adafruit?
@thesunshinesushi I agree the pandemic isnt over.. but sadly the idea that you can eliminate the disease by observing certain practices just isnt reality either. No amount of mask wearing or washing hands will ever make COVID go away, the same way thatthe Flu and the common Cold will never go away.
Best you can do is wear hazmat gear for years on end till it finally dwindles to insignificant levels and then when you finally take off the hazmat COVID will spread like wildfire again.
The nature of how vaccines on COVID work means we will **never** eliminate it like we did small pox. It is here to stay, forever. Eliminating it isnt an option so only thing left to decide is how we want to respond to the fact that it is here for the long run.
Sincerely yours, a COVID research scientist.
Not in the least, I would change quoite a few things about the current situation and dont agree at all with the status quo.
