    Why do you think Trump lost before the election results are certified? Because George Stephanopoulos says so?

    Also interesting that Indonesia, with its 225 million Muslims, was not included in the travel ban. Maybe because it wasn't actually a "muslim travel ban", rather it was targeted to those countries known to have lax vetting of travelers leaving the country.

    "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best; they're not sending you," Trump said. "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

    The stats don't back it up. If you don't believe there are accurate stats, fine. Pulling it out of your ass seems racist to me.

    I also think wanting a "muslim travel ban" is racist. And it says a lot that when the court wouldn't allow discrimination based on religion, the response was "we'll ban middle-eastern christians too!"
    He’s not racist for saying Mexico sends it’s worse. That very quote that has been misinterpreted over and over and yet it actually proves the opposite. He’s saying that the finest people from this country aren’t legally immigrating to the U.S., but some of the people who are crossing the borders are criminals. You could argue that this is fearmongering manipulation, but it’s not racism.

    What does he have to gain by appealing to racists? Nothing because they’re going to vote against biden no matter what trump says.

    Here are some trump quotes about racism:

    “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides. On many sides.”

    “KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

    Do your research instead of repeating the same, tired liberal bullshit.

    Communism encompasses many facets; included are economics and religion. It is too complex to look at only one aspect. Perspective is an important consideration too. I am part of the religious right, I think. Christianity is the lens through which I view the world. My faith is the most important thing in my life and people like me often assume the same of others. When atheism is taught and largely enforced by the state, from my worldview, not much could be worse. If the state is the reason that vast numbers of people couldn’t experience the fullness of Christianity, and the state in this instance is understood as communism, then yes, it is an ugly word.

    That made me chuckle. The guy with Yngvi as a handle has to remind someone he isn't Christian. Ah, the education system strikes again.

    On topic, from what I gather from my acquaintances they not only don't quite understand the definition of the words they are stuck on the comparisons. Biden isn't as bad as say Stalin so therefore he cannot be a communist. I think there's also a touch of the same thought process behind letting people declare their pronouns. Since Biden et al don't refer to themselves as communist one shouldn't call them that. Because labels no longer mean things to them- or so it feels. And while I can smile and be polite and call someone a "them" if they prefer I refuse to throw away labels and definitions so it bothers me. I dislike the nebulousness.

    However, in the vein of good critical thinking, we should ask if an alternative explanation could also produce the observed, negative-slope pattern, without the need for fraud.

    One such (testable) explanation, I think, is higher voter turnout in precincts with higher straight-party voting Republican. In other words, precincts with higher Republican-party-shares, also had more individual/non-party/etc voters who came out, and voted for Biden.

    It should be possible to check this in their data.

Of course, as you say, lots of other drugs influence translation, transcription, and/or act by damaging DNA/RNA.
    I believe Patisiran is a non coding piece of RNA that is part of a larger interfering complex. I do not know any details though, I'm just familiar with the general etiology of it. Is this your take on it too? I have not yet seen much on the Pfizer vaccine, do you happen to know if it is a coding or non-coding RNA or how it is supposed to be working?
