Dear antivaxxers: the same people who assiduously checked vaccine AE reports to find tiny (~1:50k ~1:250k) increases in risk for myocarditis and TTS respectively AND told everyone about it are somehow in a giant conspiracy to suppress info on mass vaccine injuries? Logic much?

An FYI for antivaxxers. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2931… A total of 55 venous thromboembolism (VTE) events were identified from 1999 through 2016 (NHL, n = 22; MLB, n = 16; NFL, n = 12; NBA, n = 5). VTEs are pretty common in professional athletes.

Not predicting Iran would shut down the straights of Hormuz is astonishingly idiotic. The administration could have asked the 16yo representing Iran in model UN what they would do if the US attacked them.

That was the weirdest 2pt conversion I’ve ever seen. The NFL does not disappoint.

He gets us, is very typical of the “Christian charities” in the United States. Here’s Olsteen’s church: $90M in revenue $1.2M (generously) spend on charity. Money is spend on proselytizing about doing good not actually doing it.

Good thread, worth a read.
Replying to @alijla2021
In summary, completely eliminating Hamas is an unattainable goal. While it's possible to weaken the organization, outright elimination is neither feasible nor achievable. The only viable solution for achieving this end is the cessation of the occupation and the establishment of a Palestinian state. Therefore, stop killing children and civilians. This will not work. Believe me. 12/12

I love science. The mRNA platform is going to prove to be one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs this century.

Good, I can’t imagine a lamer reason to go to prison.

Pure genius.
I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @BobMenendezNJ could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems. So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give ‘Bobby from Jersey’ some advice.

Steve Kirsch gave a presentation at MIT claiming that 1/1000 of those vaccinated with covid vaccines are killed by the vaccines using New Zealand data he obtained (which would imply >12,000 killed by vaccine among the >12m doses given in New Zealand to date, in a country that typically has ~38,000 deaths of all causes per year) Let's run this through a basic plausibility filter here. Here is plot of excess deaths in New Zealand with vaccine doses (blue) and documented covid deaths (red) overlaid from plots generated by @hmatejx Note the huge negative excess in 2020 when New Zealand successfully kept the virus out and the clear negative excess in 2021 when the vaccines were rolled out (vaccinations in blue -- how can that be if vaccines are killing people at the rate Steve says?) Also note that the only excess deaths are during the first 2/3 of 2022 corresponding to the two covid waves (covid deaths are in red). After 2 years of claiming vaccines killed using data from VAERs with all deaths in the first few weeks after vaccine rollouts (and making the same argument from Nursing home data yesterday), now he claims that no, the vaccines don't kill immediately (which is 100% clear in the New Zealand data he presented), they kill 6 or more months later. Which happens to be the time period from when the major vaccine rollouts occurrded (August 2021) to when the first COVID wave hit New Zealand (February to March 2022). The only way people can try to argue excess deaths are driven by vaccinations is when they take the times in which major waves of covid deaths occurred, and try to spin an argument it relates to earlier vaccines and not the actual documented major wave of covid infections and deaths that coincide with it. Because we see from data all over the world the excess deaths are most concentrated in spikes corresponding to the respective major covid waves in the local areas. Anti covid vaccine arguments require complete denial of danger of covid infection, and often use this tactic of finding a way to take the covid deaths during the documented infection waves and trying to link them to the vaccines. I have other more specific critiques of his presentation and the "methodology" he uses that I may post later, but needless to say his argument does not hold water and his analysis of these data do not demonstrate the vaccine deaths he says it does.

I didn’t think an NFL game could be worse than whatever that was on TNF, but I was wrong, very wrong.
