Dude, your literal claim was he’s “the world’s best cardiologist.” I asked you to prove that, and this is your response? What was it you said to me in the other thread? I’m not saying one way or another. But if you’re going to claim it, prove your point. Looks like you can’t. Lol. but hey, a freelance Twitter journalist with 1900 followers posted one of his videos and referred to him as world-renowned. That’s about all anyone should need to prove he’s the “world’s best cardiologist.”

Before I go, can you quantify your statement that Dr. Peter McCullough is the top cardiologist in the world? That’s a legit question? I get that he’s a real doctor, and worked at a big hospital, but where did you draw that conclusion from? I know you’re big on other people proving your statements for you, so I googled and found a list from Forbes in 2017 (before he was blacklisted, but close enough to then that he was well established), and he wasn’t mentioned in their top 27 cardiologists in the country. I found a different list from 2013 and he wasn’t listed. [Hidden Content] here’s a list from 2021 of the best cardiology hospitals in the world. One would think baylor health would be pretty high considering the influence of the best cardiologist in the world, but they were ranked 63rd. so do you have any basis for your statement that he’s the best the best cardiologist in the world?

Anyway, enough fun in here. I’m out, you can get back to posting Twitter videos of folks who’ve raised their profile and gotten rich(er) by pandering to anti-vaxxers.

In regards to your obgyn video: [Hidden Content] the conclusion of the study: Among 85 162 births, 43 099 (50.6%) occurred in individuals who received one dose or more of a covid-19 vaccine during pregnancy—42 979 (99.7%) received an mRNA vaccine. Vaccination during pregnancy was not associated with any increased risk of overall preterm birth (6.5% among vaccinated v 6.9% among unvaccinated; adjusted hazard ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval 0.96 to 1.08), spontaneous preterm birth (3.7% v 4.4%; 0.96, 0.90 to 1.03), or very preterm birth (0.59% v0.89%; 0.80, 0.67 to 0.95). No increase was found in risk of small for gestational age at birth (9.1% v 9.2%; 0.98, 0.93 to 1.03) or stillbirth (0.25% v 0.44%; 0.65, 0.51 to 0.84). Findings were similar by trimester of vaccination, mRNA vaccine product, and number of doses received during pregnancy.

[Hidden Content] to paraphrase, since it’s not a Twitter video to watch, the death rates among age group studied after set time ranges of receiving vaccines were actually slightly lower than the expected rates of those same groups due to all causes. There was no jump in death rate at all when those groups were vaccinated.

Again, 34,000 deaths, most with nothing to link them to the vaccine other than time proximity. Almost 231,000,000 Americans are fully vaccinated. Most of those received two doses, and many have also had one or more booster. 613 million doses had been administered by October 2022 in the US. A reasonable guess is that 700 million doses of the vaccine have been administered by now , a good portion to the people in our population most as risk of dying on any given day. I’m surprised there aren’t more than 34,000 documented deaths of people who’d recently been vaccinated, just based on the laws of average and coincidence. At one point nearly 2 million vaccines were being administered daily. Around 8000 people die a day. There’s going to be many, many instances of unrelated coincidental deaths of people who recently were vaccinated. I’m not claiming that nobody ever died as a result of a COVID vaccine, but I don’t see an 82-year-old obese smoker dying of a stroke a week after they were vaccinated and say to myself “dang shot killed another one!” as to your claim of my not being an expert, I’ve never claimed to be. Just stating things I do know personally. And I choose to put my faith in the overwhelming majority of medical personnel, not the one I can find to say exactly what I already believe.

We’re seeing some pushback from, for lack of a better term, the “old school” democrats. There’s a growing number of “normal” liberals who don’t want crime ridden cities with homeless camps on sidewalks downtown, and don’t want their second graders getting educated on sex and preferred pronouns. My fear is that another Republican loss in the election will give the radical left four more years to entrench themself and push the country even further off track, overwhelming and outnumbering the regular dems and moderates.

I don’t doubt this. As I stated, it’s obvious what’s going on here. Whether it’s actually even necessary is debatable.

He’s the turd sandwich I would pick. He did a lot of things I liked. But one of the results he got was riling up and vastly growing a rabid group of lunatic left wingers, and I don’t really want to see that trend continue.

I’ve done it many times before. The link I clicked in this thread wasn’t really “fake”, it just wasn’t news. It was “here’s video of cnbc talking about the indictment, and now the grand jury got cancelled.” But it’s supposed show how the the cnbc people are dumb because they didn’t convene the grand jury? It’s hard to follow, which goes back to the 8th grade comparison I made earlier.

No arguments on that. I still don’t want to eat a turd sandwich, even if one is made better than the other.

Back on topic: this whole charade is a thinly veiled attempt to discredit Trump as it looks more and more like he’ll be the Republican nominee for the next election. But also, he paid hush money to a porn star he was most likely banging while he was married. How much discrediting does he really need? Biden and Trump have both been involved in shady financial deals. Biden and trump both kept classified documents in unsafe places. Biden and trump both have done questionable things in the past involving women or girls. Biden and Trump both consistently say delusional things that are easily proven false. The next election is looking likely to shape up as a pompous turd sandwich running against an older, senile turd sandwich.

Dude, just go read them. Follow some of the links. They read like they’re written by middle schoolers. You don’t strike me as dumb. If someone was on here posting similar articles from liberal sources you guys would line up to shred them apart. But again, back to your signature move, which is whatever fits your agenda is valid, and it’s up to everyone else to prove it false, not for you to prove it valid.

Here’s where I stand on vaccines now: the original vaccines helped a lot against the alpha and delta variants, which were the most serious ones. Hospitals all over the country put out numbers showing that a small fraction of their patients and deaths were among the vaccinated. Some folks choose to believe that all of the medical professionals in the country were working in consort to create a massive conspiracy to get people vaccinated. Whatever. As I stated in my other post, 13 of 14 COVID deaths with people I knew personally occurred in the unvaccinated, and the one who was vaccinated was in arguably the most at-risk group that exists. Now, that being said, I never cared for Fauci. I think he’s crooked, and I think he did shady stuff to try and push vaccinations. I was always for people having the choice, and was always against vax mandates. I got the original vaccine, but when the new strains of COVID became milder I chose not to get any boosters. I eventually became sick with COVID and built up natural immunity. Hopefully it’ll last awhile. Vaccines have become increasingly less effective over time as the virus has mutated. That isn’t proof that they didn’t help. The numbers say they did, whether you choose to believe them or not. The fact that anti-vaxxers wave around decreased success or vaccines as the virus has mutated is a non-issue for me. Your “gotcha” moment doesn’t prove to me that I was originally wrong, and I still feel the same way about a lot of the things I said two years ago. COVID was a serious issue for a couple years, and I still believe that vaccines saved many lives. I still don’t believe the silly conspiracy theories about the vaccines being more dangerous than the illness itself. And I still get annoyed that vax-deniers pretend that they don’t understand math when you point out that a certain amount of people in an age-group dies every week whether they’ve recently been vaccinated or not, so you’re going to to have literally thousands of coincidental deaths.

Pit bulls can be dangerous. They tend to be more inclined to pack up and attack than other breeds, and when they do attack, they tend to do much more damage. I don’t hate pits. We have one that I picked up on the side of the road. He’s super friendly, but he weighs 94 lbs and my girls aren’t allowed near him unless him with them. He isn’t allowed to run free, and I don’t let him in the house. I’m cautious with him, even though he’s shown no inclination for aggression. Regardless of the breed, dog owners need to be responsible, especially if the dog can be aggressive. But I don’t believe pits get a bad rap. There’s plenty of anecdotal evidence that they’re way more dangerous than most breeds.

@Unwoke I’ll come over here and talk to you so we don’t derail the other topic. If you want to reply to my last post, do it here please. Give me some time and I’ll post where i stand on vaccines on this thread. I’m in the middle of something for a few minutes.

I know how Twitter works. A lot of the crap you post is just random people with dubious (or no) credentials. Also, Dr. Bullets doesn’t really think anyone should be getting vaccines at this point either. The virus is much weaker, and the vaccines haven’t kept up with it. Natural antibodies are best, and it’s worth getting them now that at risk folks aren’t dying at a high clip. That said, if I go find Twitter posts from the surgeon generals of say, I don’t know, 47 states, that support the vaccine (or at least did two years ago), will you then think it’s a good thing? I know the answer, obviously. And yes, VAERS is a joke. I posted some of the VAERS vaccine injury reports on here previously. I’ll move over to the vaccine thread and we can continue our conversation to avoid derailing this thread.

They said going in that some people would still get it after being vaccinated. It prevents it in the vast majority of people, and greatly reduces the symptoms for most of those who do get it despite being vaccinated. People can question “future side effects” if they want, but it’s unarguable that the shot is incredibly effective in fighting Covid. I posted articles from respected medical journals, fox news, and other recognized news sources. Seeing as twitter is your #1 source for news, you really don't have a leg to stand on here. Your go to move is to post twitter quotes from random people and then claim others have to prove them wrong. As for vaccines, here's the one thing i know: I know 14 people who died from covid, and the only one of them who was vaccinated was a double organ transplant patient. I know dozens of people who were hospitalized from covid. I know zero people who died from the vaccine, and to my knowledge I know nobody who was hospitalized. Some things about the vaccine turned out to be true, some false, some somewhere in between. It clearly didn't keep up with the virus well, but the results were pretty obvious when Covid was at it's worst, and deadliest. Why don't you go quote me some vaers stats they're as legit at as the gateway pundit

It's my opinion you should quit posting them, but fact that their "articles" are predominately made up "news stories" stolen from propaganda sites with no verification and then passed off as fact by your fake news site.

Reagan, it's time to quite posting fake articles from the gateway pundit. There's a reason not even the conservatives on here quote them or like them, and that the threads you start from articles from the Gateway Pundit dry up on the vine. If I created an insane rightwing conspiracy website and completely fabricate an article saying that Joe Biden was paid $2M by China to help spread Covid, the second the Gateway Pundit found it they would repost it, making zero effort to verify it's validity. And from there, there's a 1000% chance that within 6 hours you would create a new thread on here and share the gateway pundit "article" where they stole my made up article with a title something like "Concrete Proof That Biden Colluded With China to Spread Covid!"

A buddy of mine decided to go skydiving recently in an effort to conquer his fear of heights. He shows up, and his skydiving instructor is flamboyantly gay. He’s already nervous, but now he’s really uncomfortable because he’s going to be strapped to this guy when they get up in the air. He decides to go through with it, but when it’s time to jump he chickens out and doesn’t want to go. At this point the instructor informs him that if he doesn’t jump he’s going to do him in the butt. I asked my buddy the obvious question “well, did you jump?” He replied “a little bit at first.”

Read a follow up where the dogs had no violent history, and the owner had actually contacted animal control about them getting out and going missing. So this isn’t a typical “bad dogs allowed to roam free” case, and criminal charges aren’t expected. That said, I’m sure a civil case will be forthcoming.

One of his son’s sons was (and still is, to a degree) a good friend of mine. That family has been through a lot in the last several years. Several of the siblings have died, but I guess that happens when it’s a big family and you get old

This is the worst bracket I’ve ever made in the opening rounds. That said, I still have 12-16 sweet 16 teams alive, and all 8 elite 8 teams left. So I can make up a lot of ground if those teams stay alive. I’ve never had a tourney where I got every single upset wrong, but this is the year

Down goes Purdue!
