    wal, do you know what an ad hominem argument is? It is a version of the kind you make all the time, condemning the facts as presented because of where they are presented. For example,

    1. Who told you Dr. Kory had covid last August? You trust the Washington Post more than the Falun Gong? Why? What has the Falun Gong ever done to you? The Washington Times was founded by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon and is still owned by the Unification Church, but they have been and still are a source for good information that the leftist state media will not publish, and I'm glad they're there. Just because a religious group or person you don't agree with says something, that doesn't mean it's automatically wrong. That's why you're still here. Stop this fuzzy thinking.

    2. The fact that he had covid, if true, does not mean that ivermectin is not an effective prophylactic/treatment for covid. It has been proven effective in ~60 controlled trials investigating this question. Japan used it to essentially eliminate covid, as did Uttar Pradesh in India. And as have other countries and individuals all over the world.

    3. But let's say it does mean that. Look at this post: COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

    And this post: COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

    And all the other posts here that say the same thing, and all the data from all the countries with high vaccination rates that say the same thing, that I have been posting for the past year: the vaccines do not prevent either covid or its transmission. Yet you are here indicting Dr. Kory while saying nothing about mandatory vaccines that don't work and may kill you.

    Now wal, a casual observer would think you don't actually read the information posted on this board, that you just come here to type your support for the mainstream narrative. So I'm going to have to ask you to increase the quality of your commentary. Okay?

    Yup, he got Covid. Used Ivermectin and barely got sick, from what I understand. Sure you aren’t Canadian?

This is still a work in progress for me. 2) I was overconfident that the conclusions that I drew from the data were correct. In the mask example, I was overconfident that the laboratory data would translate into obvious real-world effects. (Currently, I'm not convinced that they have no effect in real-world settings, but that many other factors play into it and even in high-use settings, the effect is not as drastic as I was sure it would be.)
    (2) is understandable, but I'm struggling with (1). You thought your opinion would be discarded by whom? In what context? This can't refer to mostly-pseudonymous web commenters who anyway bristled at what you said.

    I don't mean to scrutinize you in particular, but the scientific community needs to figure out how to regain the trust of the public.

    Mark I don't want to debate you on the pros and cons of Ivermectin, you could beat me hands down. I am saying you are using dubious sources such as the "Epoch Times" to promote your enthusiasm for Ivermectin. Dr Kory himself admits that he got covid last year even though he was on the FLCCC protocol, he indicts himself.

    Mark as a coach for strength training you are outstanding, however in this case I believe you are wrong and digging yourself into a deep hole. Look Mark if you were coaching a trainee for a particular lift and you noticed that the technique was wrong would you let him just go on and risk injury? No! It is not about whether lifting free weights is good or bad it is about seeing something that is wrong and speaking up. If you think I am here just to argue with you over Ivermectin or vaccines you are dead wrong. I don't think you are heading down the right track. Maybe I am wrong myself, but like it or not if I saw you face to face I would tell you the same thing, Mark be careful!

    At the risk of being shot down in flames, make of it what you will.

    What does it mean to “get covid”?

    Two years without the sniffles. At this point I'm ready to tour covid wards to see if I can even catch the shit that shut down the world.

    In his Dec 8 testimony to the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Kory said both “if you take it, you will not get sick” and “it will reduce the need for hospitalization and death”. Techarp cherry-picks the former.

    Techarp dismisses VAERS - “anyone can enter records”. For now, I’ll take McCullough’s word over his.

    As Rip’s links and other evidence indicate, techarp’s offers a worse alternative. (Does techarp think Kory has blood on his hands? - Follins does.)

    Bad actor.

    Sift your sources carefully indeed.

For instance, you absolutely cannot find a place to rent on the Croatian coast under 1000 euro per month if you want year long accommodation. This is for a one bedroom or even a studio.
    I am going as low cost as I can, by basically living in a hostel dormitory, this is for about 200 euros a month . I'm already used to it whenever I travel. And my plan is to not get too comfortable anyway and be ready to pack and leave.
    Especially if I piss off some very protective albanian dad.
    The cost of hostels on the croatian coast are only slightly higher

    The bloke who authored that, Dr Adrian Wong, also wrote this about the wonders of giving covid vaccines to kids.

    A nugget of wisdom - "The much lower dose should ameliorate, if not eliminate, the risk of myocarditis / pericarditis that was highest in adolescents and young adults.

    There were no cases of pericarditis or myocarditis in the Pfizer study that involved over 2,260 children, through approximately 3 months of follow-up after Dose 2.

    However, the risk of myocarditis in adolescents is only about 1 in 50,000, so we will only know for sure once mass vaccinations have begun."

    A lot of his other articles seem to suggest he's a self-appointed fact checker and, weirdly enough, a gamer. No doubt the article about how to get the three Tomb Raider games for free is a real gem. Dr Wong "continues to devote countless hours every day writing about tech, medicine and science, in his pursuit of facts in a post-truth world."
