Yes... it's some new thing the kids are saying, and it's super annoying. It goes something like this,

"Tell me that the <whatever> is <adjective>, without telling me it’s <adjective>."


I don't even really know what it means. But:

1 - It's super sarcastic.
2 - It pretends like the kid saying it is super educated and quick witted.
3 - That somehow whatever you're about to say is totally wrong, before you say it.

There is no control group in the study. They have some figures shown from a meta-analysis, but without looking at each of those, I couldn’t claim the meta-analysis to have any value.

Has this been peer-reviewed?

as most semitic people are NOT jewish 9 out of 10 are moslem
and there about as many christian semitic people as jews

and as an anti-zionist there is no more semitic content then if one said they are an anti-commie or anti-fascist

btw I am anti-zionist as no political party should run a state/country esp not with my taxes



Totally nailed it in both posts. You got called a 'witch' though.

No, Randye. I've been waiting to see if there's a position he holds outside of typical leftist talking points and what do you know, he made that decision to buck the norm on this topic.
This isn't a topic you just take an alternate PC position on without actual personal investigation and an understanding of the distinctions of the terms he used. It takes investigation to understand, intelligence to differentiate the named groups and courage to make the stand, too. Because the programming that is crammed down our throats in the media minute by minute is some of the strongest out there. Like making believe the American Civil War was only about slavery. If you don't support every position of the North then you're a racist who wants slavery.

We (on the right) mostly all use the name George Soros as a villian, and some of us get called a witch for doing it. Sheldon Adelson? Bibi (under criminal investigation)? Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Defend them, would you?

Ray b, keep in mind there are still religious people who don't align with the group that my brother called a death cult, the group intent on seeing billions dead. The group of Christians that thinks they are so important that they can make a messiah return in their lifetime because, because, well because they're so important and billions have to die for that to happen.
It's the Boomer-era group that shouts down anyone who reminds them of things like Jesus' quoted words and deeds. And so they call people witch when they have no actual reply...because zero tolerance.

At least on this topic he obviously isn't parroting preprogrammed propaganda.

There are people who would best refrain from criticizing anyone else as "rabid." As in "rabid anti-Semite", which became a verbal projectile previously in this discussion, hurled by one forum member at another forum member. And with not much reason, although that is neither here nor there--even if there had been good reason for it.

It's a "glass houses" kind of thing.




A discussion here that has strayed far indeed from the original topic. Or maybe not, considering what appears at the very top . . . "Accepting apologizes [sic] from all my left-leaning friends..."

Tell me you didn't read the op, without telling me you didn't read the op.

There's a lot going on in that research report. Hydroxychloroquine, which passed repeatedly from the former President's lips, if memory serves. Azithromycin and zinc, which I also believe the former President recommended on a number of different occasions, in combination with hydroxychloroquine. But also, in this same research report, vitamins C and D, and patients that tested as deficient for vitamin D.

I am not saying that it isn't a valuable research report, but I'm not solid (or sold) on the idea that any apologies are due, on the basis of this research report, from anyone's left-leaning friends. But neither am I objecting to the way that this forum topic was set up or titularized as "Accepting apologizes [sic] . . ." I regard that as fully within the long established and perfectly legitimate boundaries of Advertising Puffery or "AP" as I surmise some pundits may like to abbreviate it. Some pundits, or at least one. A pundit wannabe or Pretender to the Pundit.

Also squawed about "no control group" without even noting or understanding what the study group was.

Published data is absolutely wasted on people that lack the intellectual ability to evaluate it.

Oh, I read it. It had two populations of people taking those medications, the only difference being Vitamin C. Then it drew conclusions about those medicines. If they’re going to draw conclusions on those, they need a control without those.

David and Justin would like to thank you for once again confirming their study.
