Sir, you are incorrect. According to the CDC, as of February of this year, the immunization was 54% effective, which is a generous estimation. Masking and isolation were lies, and a good percentage of deaths were not COVID-related, but were counted by coroners and hospitals for federal funding. I gave Remesivir to a patient, ONCE, and she died 4 days later, as did four others in the ER that month. The hospital got money for giving it to patients, and for those put on vents, who also eventually died on the vent. You don't know what you are talking about. People were forced to get immunized and not be fooled and gaslighted into thinking they weren't.

I saw this and had to give the doctor a lot of credit for listening to these nutcases, and not bursting into laughter. And then complaining about Bill Gates who ,unlike other billionaires, uses his money to help people in need. Lots of gullible people who watch Fox News exclusively , and have no idea what's really going on.

I made it through the whole anti-vax clip and although I think that the doctor has incredible patience, I wish he’d clapped back on the misinformation about claims that the Covid vaccine would prevent you from gett Covid and prevent transmission, when the actual claim was that it would help you to have a milder case if you got Covid and would likely keep you out of the hospital and off a ventilator. There was a lot of debunked garbage about Dr. Fauci that I wish had been addressed but I realize that would have just started a barrage of conspiracy theories that would have taken all the time.

As a scientist that has engaged with anti-vaxx slowcoaches, I feel for this guy......like, I really feel for this doctor.

You cannot teach someone that is unable to learn, and these people studiously make sure that they do not learn.

You know, Steve Jobs would probably still be alive today if he taken the chemo-therapy instead of holistic healing for his cancer.

Just sayin'.

From Belle Gibson’s Wikipedia entry: “The controversial Gerson therapy had been similarly promoted by another Australian wellness blogger, Jessica Ainscough, whose funeral Gibson attended when Ainscough died from cancer in late February 2015.”

Funny how all these ‘I cured myself with organics’ people either turned out to be liars or corpses.

Ainscough’s story is particularly sad as I also believed she persuaded her mother to treat her breast cancer with raw fruit juices (Gerson ‘therapy’) with predictably tragic results.

I find it painful to listen to these people. I think they are sincere, but woefully ignorant.

What gets me is how goddamn PROUD they are of their ignorance. THEY aren't the ones who fell for all that abracadabra smoke-and-mirrors nonsense of modern science. WE are. And they think that makes them smarter and better and more special than everybody else on the whole goddamn planet.

I can't watch that. I have zero tolerance for conspiracy crazies or woonatics. The smug, narcissistic arrogance of those Dunning-Kruger fuckwits is the worst part and just fills me with rage.

The growing distrust for established, proven medicine fits so neatly into the GOP's overall plan, I could almost believe they are the ones behind the woo-peddlers and the rise of the holistic/organic/alternative "wellness" movement. If you have a poor, sickly, under-educated population, your path to total control is guaranteed.

Aaaaarrrrgggghhh! I spent 13 years in training...biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, etc etc and those people are JUST FUCKING IDIOTS! Let's re-do Koch's Postulates and inoculate horrible diseases in all these people that "have good hygiene" and see what happens

A point I have seen made by Indigenous folk is that, according to first contact Europeans, the New World people were just incredibly healthy compared to Europeans. They ate the perfect diet, got lots of exercise, had plenty of space (and they were CLEAN, unlike Europeans). 90 to 95% of them died within the first 100 years of European contact from new-to-them diseases. So much for healthy, natural living being a panacea against disease. I'm an old hippy, I'm all for healthy natural living, make and use herbal stuff like my Gran did, but ALSO take advantage of the great gift of vaccines and modern medicines for serious stuff. These people are idiots.

They weren't unhealthy, but infant mortality was 20-30% and 50% of children died before reaching age 5. Making it past childhood got you a decent chance of living into your 50s.

At the turn of the 20th century people were loosing 30-40% of their under 5s and infant mortality is still high in many places. Human childbirth is precarious for a number of reasons- even more than it is in other animals (hyenas MAY have us beat, though).

20% to 30% mortality by age 5 in most of Western and Central Europe around 1905, with half or more of that in infancy.

Around 1500, many Native American tribes were healthy, but they weren't "incredibly healthy compared to Europeans." European population density and their domesticated cattle. pigs, chicken - thus, infectious diseases - account for much of the difference.

Most Native American tribes definitely practiced better sanitation and personal hygiene than the ~1500 invaders.

The whole premise of these "Surrounded" gangbang debates is kayfabe at best, self-validating adrenaline porn at worst. How do you have an actual debate when people do not have a common basis in verifiable facts and the scientific method? The only points you can score are emotional, the only winners are the ones that talk the loudest and have the most charisma.

I f**king hate this timeline. Idiocracy was undershooting how dumb things can get.
