Best Hospital Eye Roll
Science: Figuring things out is better than making things up. A tee shirt I recently saw. Except… In a recent post Mayo Clinic Promotes Reiki, Steve seemed surprised that the Mayo was offering Reiki. I don’t know. Maybe he was channeling Louie. I know the Mayo is a top hospital, but I trained in Minneapolis at Hennepin County and we would have...
Denis Rancourt and “no virus”: COVID-19 symptoms were due psychological stress from the pandemic response!
It's hard to believe that in the 21st century there are still those who deny that viruses exist. However, virus denial and antivax go together and always have. Denis Rancourt, while far from the first or more vociferous virus denier, is an excellent example.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, April 2021: “The Central Problem Right Now I Think Is The Fear That People Still Feel About COVID.”
Doctors portrayed those who tried to avoid the virus as pathetic, disordered weaklings, afflicted by irrational panic, fear, and anxiety. It only makes sense if you remember one thing, they wanted you infected.
Skeptics in the Pub. Cholera. Chapter 12a
I slept like a rock, no dreams that I could remember, and upon awakening, the ball of anxiety that had been my constant companion was gone. I tried to get it back by thinking of all the unpleasant things that might happen in the next few days. Nothing. I felt good. Acceptance is the final stage of dying, so I must, at...
Some Good, But Preliminary Real World Data on Those Baby RSV Shots
The first post-rollout data for the RSV antibody shot looks pretty good, but far too many little ones missed out.
Parasite Cleanse
Tik Tok is a cesspool of wellness pseudoscience and misinformation. All of social media has the potential to spread misinformation without any filter, but for some reason Tik Tok has become the preferred platform for the most outrageous claims and nonsense. A recent trend on Tik Tok (and within the wellness community generally) is the parasite cleanse. The idea is that many...
Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Who Posted Pictures of Guillotines and Promised Herd Immunity Would Arrive 3-6 Months After Lockdowns Ended, Fired for “Clinging to the Truth”.
"Science cannot survive in a society that does not value truth and strive to discover it."
Prions. Why did it have to be prions? (Again.)
Prions. Why did it have to be prions? (Again.) The antivax trope that vaccines cause prion disease is an old one, and antivaxxers are trying desperately to resurrect it to apply to COVID-19 vaccines.
Skeptics in the Pub. Cholera. 11b
I hopped the trolley to Kenton to spend the afternoon helping Susan with the quarantine. After I got off the trolley, I purchased thirty of the Extra Editions and handed them out to the families of the Cholera victims. Mostly because I wanted people to know about the seawater treatment, I figured that word about the pump water would spread quickly, and...
Pro-Infection Doctors Didn’t Honestly Question Whether Mitigation Measures Slowed COVID. They Sought To Undermine Them Precisely Because They Slowed COVID.
Pro-infection doctors wanted them infected, and in this upside-down mirror world, the only policies that "helped" or "worked" were those that spread COVID.
