You're assigning malicious intent where there was none. I was merely posting an interesting scientific analysis on the topic at hand, and making a relevant observation that we can't even seem to agree on what the facts are, even when they are readily available. Because to many people, it's not about...

No. I'm not sure what you're referring to. Please elaborate.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8088823/ As well as analysis of recent studies for use against covid, this article offers interesting background information on the very successful use of ivermectin to treat serious viral infections in humans over the last 30+ years. Conclusions: Meta-a...

So don't.

Wow. What a traumatic experience. GTFO then. Wow, "GTFO" to an immigrant couple who are working hard trying to start a new life as productive members of our society. Wait, I thought in today's world we were supposed to encourage fragility and be unquestioningly sympathetic to people's feelings of a...

In these communities, where addiction is already a disproportionately huge problem, easy access to cheap substances might outweigh the benefits. "We mustn't build any roads! They're all addicts and will just overdose on cheaper narcotics!" There is no easy answer to magically make these places bett...

It's not just about the cost of travel, it's also about what can be transported, and when . Don't forget, that cuts both ways. I think all season roads to our fly-in communities would make more difference than anyone could ever possibly imagine. In these communities, where addiction is already a di...

I was asked by digits for a suggestion. I gave one, and of course now get trolled for it. I’m completely unfamiliar with fly in communities outside Ont. Water is another obvious problem. At least I’m commenting having briefly visited a few of these communities, and not from a CBC article. Not troll...

To where? And what about the dozens of other fly in communities around the country?

Vitamin D is obviously very important, but the point is there is no evidence that supplementation makes any difference to COVID. And certainly "skipping the flu shot and taking a Vitamin D supplement" isn't a very helpful statement. Certainly skipping the flu shot seems irrelevant to this discussio...

deadbear, you're not really fan of science are you? The thing you posted said "preprint - not peer reviewed". There has actually been a study into vitamin D supplementation in covid, and they didn't make any difference: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776738 The fact that patient...

Where did the article you strategically quoted say that it's not advisable to get a flu shot?

Conclusions
Receipt of influenza vaccination was not associated with virus interference among our population.

If you dig a little deeper you'll see they are "authorized with conditions" under an interim order that allows their use even though they have not gone through the normal, full regulatory processes. If you'd like to argue based on semantics, that's fine. But it's fairly obvious that these vaccines h...

I’m not sure why you say COVID-19 vaccines are not approved. They’re allowed to be injected into people by medical authorities on a worldwide basis. That meets my definition of approved. Well, personal, made-up definitions aside, it's really quite simple. I say that because it is a verifiable fact....

Have there ever been any vaccines that have long term effects which became apparent only after 12 months? Well that's kind of a loaded question. Have there ever been any vaccines that have been administered by the hundreds of millions before they were approved? Have there ever been any vaccines tha...

That's a rather bold statement from someone who does not fly for a living.

Which leads to the second point, this idea that "less than a year's research" has been done on these vaccines. What ignorant nonsense. To calculate the man-years of R&D of something you have to consider the total number of people working on something at any one time, the level of expertise being br...

The entire world is doing nothing else but research, at present. You're absolutely correct. We're all lab rats in the largest uninformed vaccine trial in history. They're finding issues with the vaccines after millions of people have been dosed. When you get your cocktail of preventative drugs befo...

All of which likely came with decades of research and data as to their effects on human beings. Since he didn’t say which vaccinations he had, you couldn’t possibly comment on what research and data had been collected, or for how long, could you? That's why I used the word "likely." Given whatever ...

I was operating on a paranoia level for much of the year :bigscared: due to wanting to avoid long covid symptoms(and a 1 in 200 chance of death according to one report of how things were in April). Unless you're over 80, a quick internet search and some simple math would have put your mind at ease.

The fact is, even without lockdowns, plenty of people will avoid restaurants and other crowded spaces during a pandemic simply out of fear of catching the virus. If that "fact" is indeed true, and people naturally tend towards social distance and isolation in a pandemic anyways, then why did we nee...
