What's sad is that Dalgleish seems pretty well intentioned and well informed, originally publishing a letter in a medical journal suggesting that study and discussion is called for. He even notes that his database is essentially about 4 friends and colleagues who are vaccinated and have cancer. That was around 11/22.

People like Campbell and Dore seem to just instinctively turn that into more Fauci-is-evil style BS. And those charlatans are the same people who get amplified in places like Berz World.

Somebody inform Berzerker that study and verification is how actual science works.

Believing in conspiracy theories can be a symptom of anxiety.

Democratic-led states had fewer deaths than republican-led states, so even if they were 'less informed', they must have been doing something right.

[N35t0r]

If the Dems take the house, they can change the rules back to what they were.

Leaving that rule in place just gives any republican the opportunity to throw a spanner in the works whenever they feel like it.

While I'm sure a lot of them enjoy the clown shows what they are supposed to be doing is governing (and right now, passing a budget), not entertaining the rest of us with their wacky antics.

And yet you go with anecdotes every time as long as they conform to your worldview.

For some reason, Berz finds conspiracy theories more comforting than reality. This is the part that is really confounding.

Where did I say it was a fact? The doctor Campbell interviewed is an expert too and your doctor doesn't have his data. If your doctor says studies are needed then he's really not in a position to call it BS. How many people drank bleach? The Dems were demanding people lose their jobs for not getting the jabs based on the same panic that led roughly half of Democrats to believe there was a ~50% chance of hospitalization from infection. QAnon was better informed than Democrats. Ironic, huh?

You posted it like it was a fact. Good to see you finally admit it isn't. And my Doctor was claiming that NO DOCTOR can make those claims either way because there is NO REAL CLINICAL DATA yet. And if you are basing it on a small sample size that doesn't take into affect all factors involved, then his claims that his patients have shown no such thing is just as valid. But in the end, it's all just opinion on all sides and he had every right to call it BS.
And you are going to have to come up with a real unbiased study that shows roughly half of Democrats believe that BS. They didn't.
And again, Dems weren't drinking bleach or shining lights up their asses. So your comment that the QAnon was better informed just shows your bias and how much you keep pulling crap out of your ass... just like most of the BS videos you seem to claim are true simply because they are on the internet.

Ah yes, Dr. John Campbell: the source of a significant amount of Jimmy Dore's misinformation. Campbell - who is not a doctor, but has a PhD in nursing - has misrepresented a host of Covid-related topics. About ivermectin, about Covid deaths being over-reported, about vaccines causing brain injury, and on and on.

It's a shame, because Campbell was once a well-respected source of insightful nursing knowledge -- until the pandemic panic monetized his YouTube channel. Now, he just keeps trolling for clicks, even if it means he sometimes has to admit he's a raging, serial liar:

In October 2023, the BBC Radio 4 programme More or Less debunked a video that Campbell had made in September 2023 in which he wrongly claimed that excess deaths were higher among those who had had a COVID-19 vaccine than those who had not; the figures he used in fact showed the opposite. Campbell took down his video after being contacted by the programme, telling them that he was not a statistician.

But hey, surely this time he's onto something!

“The House Republicans need to end the GOP Civil War, now,” Jeffries said.

“The House Democrats have continued to make clear that we are ready, willing and able to find a bipartisan path forward,” he said, urging that the House reopen and change GOP-led rules that allowed a single lawmaker to put in motion the process to remove the speaker.

The Democrats voted to remove McCarthy and Hakeem Jeffries is upset by the rule allowing for the vote? I dont think he wants that rule in place if Dems take the House and he can be voted out as speaker

[Berzerker]

Scalise ended his bid to be speaker, cant get the votes... Dont know why, he's the guy who was shot warming up for a ball game.

[Berzerker]

Somebody inform Melanoma doctors to ignore relapse rates then

[Berzerker]

and thats coming from an MIT rocket scientist

[Berzerker]

You posted a single point of view not "proven" as fact like it is a fact. It's just anti vax propaganda until ACTUALLY PROVEN.
My doctor is an expert, and was aware of the "theory" you posted. And he said actual clinical studies were needed to prove such a thing, Also, he said he hadn't seen the tread in his patients.
And I laugh when you say that the most misinformed people were Democrats. The Dems weren't drinking bleach or trying to shine a light up their ass

Since you're ready to go to war based on one doctor's report of his personal observations, yet routinely deny actual peer-reviewed science as some sort of government/pharma scheme, I thought a basic reminder might be appropriate.
