Yes.  Of course.

Just because you and the patient do not understand the difference between temporal coincidence and causation does not mean we don't.

Kiid will happily does before admitting that he’s been a dupe to a profoundly demented idiot for several years running. That’s why he’s on a hunt for trump’s genius more futile than searching for WMDs in Iraq.

Take an altoid, Kiid, and chill the fuck out. You’ll feel better

Uhm, yeah. On a basic level that is the result of Trump's "Tell me only what.I want to hear and fits my preconceived notions" style of personnel management.

Trump’s new coronavirus vaccine czar owns $10 million in stock options in company developing vaccine, with Moderna receiving hundreds of millions in fed money.
Well “ used to own” since  he divested the options.
But, so what?  Aren’t you rooting for a successful vaccine?
Didn't Italians want the trains to run on time?

Public corruption is wrong. The appearance of public corruption undermines our political system. There used to be broad agreement about these concepts before Trump.

Since Moderna uses messenger RNA in its vaccines,  their company name's sort of clever.   

Shame on the oncologist who wouldn't treat my pancreatic cancer with Tic-Tacs.  I asked him repeatedly!   Him and his fancy-pants Harvard Medical School diploma.

No, he hasn't yet. He has announced that he will.

After they have already jumped up 20% with today's news.

I am sure you think that's a coincidence.
It is irrelevant.

Which one?

That you provided false information?

Or that he realized a 20% profit by not divesting until he was outed for still having the stocks?

Like Ronny Jackson, who talked about Trump's great health and now has his support to run for Congress?!

Nah, no WH physician would ever do that.

Just because you and the patient do not understand the difference between temporal coincidence and causation does not mean we don't.

You mourn the dead - but not those who may have been helped but were not given the drug?

And don't thank heavens for those who survived after using it?

Sounds political to me.

And no - i am not saying that every patient given HCQ that recovered would not have if they were not put on it - so save that bit of 4th grade logic spew.

Josh - don't bother responding to any of my links or posts - unless it is for your own amusement - - you are on ignore - possibly permanently.  Maybe some of your wisdom will seep through to me if our brethren here chooses to quote you

Keep up the good fight.  And thanks for moderating the space.

I don't give a fuck, Kid. If I want to make sure my posts can be seen by you, I can do that.

And, for all that you have a hard time grasping it, you are not the only person here who reads my responses.

For any wisdom of mine to seep through to you would take far more than its being in front of your eyes. It would quire you to heed your own advice and open your mind.

But hey, if you put everybody you disagree with on ignore, you and Ward can have some great specious discussions!

There is an acting exercise where you put a bandanna over your face, and you practice sending all of the emotions using only your eyes, and it is supposed to make you great like Clint Eastwood. Clint does a lot with his eyes.

In the store I watch people's eyes, and you can see happy eyes, and angry eyes, and tired eyes.

I try to send people smiling eyes. I try to send a smile with my eyes.

Salute,

Tony V.
