on: Study: Omicron 40-45% less likely than Delta to lead to 1+ day hospitalisation
The hospitalizations in South Africa went from 19% to 1.7% but trust Imperial (whose highly inaccurate lockdown modelling last year caused who knows how much damage) to produce a study that gives significantly less favourable numbers. If anyone has the patience to read it, it would be interesting to know what statistical/definitional trickery they've used to make omicron maximally menacing.

on: Chinese tennis star recants sexual assault allegations against CCP vice-premier
To all the people saying that she's been threatened and that's why she's taking it back: uhhh, do you have any idea how many people would have to be involved? It would be impossible to keep it a secret, somebody would say something. Take off the tinfoil hats, guys.

And yet the value keeps going up. I appreciate you people, the constant reminder that so many of you hold these incorrect views really magnifies the sense of "getting in early".

Hey man, thanks for the invitation, really, but you're literally just some random account on the internet and Carl Jung is a founding psychoanalyst/symbolic thinker. I would invite anyone to regard your suggestion in proportion to the comparative significance of your intellectual contributions.

The 2020 election was as fair and secure as the covid vaccines are safe and effective.

L0L. This might be a new level of wokeism. Virtue signalling via condescending, taunting language directed towards someone the woke has identified as dealing with more significant problems than themselves. Truly brave and stunning. Praise George Floyd, most deserving martyr.

on: Ivermectin shows that not all science is worth following
Wow you've really convinced me bud you definitely sound nuanced and educated, now I know that the vaccine = good and supported by smart people and ivermectin = bad and supported by dumb people, I know exactly which side I want to be on.

on: Ivermectin shows that not all science is worth following
The Actually Real Scandal About Ivermectin is something like the anthropic principle but about the fact that I know that nothing positive about Ivermectin would ever be allowed on the Atlantic. Is Ivermectin at best barely above useless for covid? Maybe. Is it crucial and it's a crime against humanity for being suppressed? Maybe, and I'm inclined to say probably because the same people who lie about everything are mighty certain that Ivermectin is something that doesn't help covid and anyone who says otherwise is a horse paste eating moron.

You'll make this analogy, but if I remind you that banning driving would save lives, you'll tell me "car accidents aren't contagious!"
Your mind has been destroyed, and unfortunately there is no vaccine (remember, the definition can change).

Comment section here proving once again that high IQ nerds are, when it comes to the stuff that actually matters, overtly authoritarian. You might be all for giving children hormone blockers and championing the right to vote without ID, but it turns out the liberalism was just a LARP all along. I am fortunate to be in a position where my livelihood is not being threatened, and I will never get an unnecessary medical procedure to satisfy either contemptible neurotics, pharma shareholders, or the government. Freedom is the freedom to say "fuck you", and I don't need
to justify why, though with the facts as they currently stand, it's about the easiest thing in the world. Seethe and cope, because at the end of the day you are a slave, and I will never be.
