  1. I am visiting my TGF in a few weeks, and will have my first entry using the TDAC. My question - I am staying in the apt that she owns. Do I need anything from her to substantiate the accommodation information I provide online?
  2. Like all the creationists, anti-vaxxers, fake moonlanders, Intelligent Design advocates, Flat Earthers etc etc you have no idea of how science works. Asking for one example here or there is no better that bar-room gossip. You really have no idea of even the basics. But, nothing can prevent you flapping away in the delusion that you have some clever insight that tens of thousands of highly-intelligent, ethical hard-science PhDs don't have. This is called the Dunning-Kruger Effect. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/chapter/bookseries/abs/pii/B9780123855220000056 Unfortunately, it's too hard for you to understand

  4. Have you heard of smallpox? Polio? Meanwhile: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/03/03/the-changing-political-geography-of-covid-19-over-the-last-two-years/
  5. The only way the horrible absurdity of religion survives is by brainwashing small children. If you told alert, unbiased adults about sky fairies, talking snakes and virgin births, you would be laughed out of the room. That is why ALL religions are desperate to get their hands on small children. As well, it provides victims for the pedophiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses'_handling_of_child_sexual_abuse

  7. So fools clapping a conman turns a lie into the truth. BWHAHAHAHAHA!! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3136032/
  8. There is no doubt at all that Andrew Wakefield was a scammer and a fraud. His lies about vaccines/autism were based on fabricated data. As usual, the fact-free clowns that fell for his lies failed to apply the "cui bono?" test. Wakefield planned to make money from his fraud by selling fake diagnostic tests. And, as usual, those who were fooled by a fraud think that "fact checking" means, "seek out some source, anywhere, anything, that tells me what I wan to hear". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield#The_Lancet_fraud
  9. Source your fish oil capsules (and other supplements) through iHerb.com - a reputable firm and cheap as. Fast delivery, too.
  10. As always, DT nuts cannot review the facts and change their mind. All you've got is ad hominem nonsense. DT quote: Trade wars are simple and easy to win. That has never been the case. As I said, DT is ignorant of the basics of economics DT quote: We're going to get the drug prices down not 30 or 40% which would be great Not 50 or 60 No we're going to get them down 1,000% 600% 500% 1,500%. As we see, DT is ignorant of primary-school arithmetic As for DT's senior economic advisors; - one has a lifetime ban from submitting papers to journals after being caught fabricating data - one is a laughing-stock in the trade; he's known as never having made an accurate forecast - one was found by Kushner, after JK saw him on a Youtube clip. He is out of his depth in an area he doesn't understand.
  11. How sanctimonious. How very virtuous. All these conspiracy nuts are the same. There is a fake facade of reasonableness, but it does not survive scrutiny. In every case - "evidence" is a codeword for "I have found some spurious nonsense" - they dig up obscure dishonest "experts" who peddle that "evidence" - when many thousands of ethical PhDs and high-end researchers are in consensus, write it off as "fake news" or collusion And you are overlooking the elephant in the room. These pushers of nonsense hurt people. They damage society. Example: a couple killed their own child; with the child needing precise and accurate medical treatment, they got fooled by some shysters who were selling some marvellous and useless treatment. Death was the result. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crenzwyvpn1o Anti-vaxxers have blood on their hands. Don't deny the facts. They kill people. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590229623000199 And you want to be nice and polite and let them go about their fact-free lethal business. Sick.
  12. - DT has no knowledge of economics - his tariffs are ridiculed by all economists whi have no vested interest in being dishonest - DT, like all autocrats, has surrounded himself with toadies and sycophants Those statements are hard fact. Having grossly-inaccurate economic advice is always disastrous for a large economy. -
  13. https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/04/05/five-crazy-trump-tariffs-you-wouldnt-believe DONALD TRUMP’S tariff announcement on April 2nd has drawn mockery for its spurious maths. Any bilateral trade deficit is treated as gross unfairness; the tariffs are set by taking the measure as a share of goods imported from each country, and halving it. But there are other oddities too, from the fact that the tariff rates appear to be calculated for places with an internet domain name to the fact that they are based on a single year of data. The starkest demonstration of the absurdity of the tariffs is to look at the bizarre outcomes they produce...
  14. Inflation was a world-wide phenomenon. No major country was immune. Funnily enough, just as Biden's term ended, The Economist wrote that the American economy "was the envy of the world". DT's tariffs soon fixed that.
  15. Shame on you for such blatant cherry-picking. 2022 inflation was driven my supply-chain disruption. Inflation now is driven my DT;'s fatuous tariffs. DT knows nothing about economics, and should have left matters to knowledgeable, experienced advisors, not a bunch of toadies and yes-men
  16. What the MAGA nitwits think is not important. What will be very telling are the contortions and gymnastics that the DT administration will go through to avoid this happening. Liars hate the spotlight. They can't stand being exposed.
  17. You are being played for a fool. https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/multi-country-outbreak-of-mpox--external-situation-report-35--12-august-2024 There are 5million+ references here. Start studying... or are you going to keep providing discredited gibberish from liars, so you can hold on to your fact-free nonsense?
  18. You're doing it again!! Going all-out to find some discredited shyster, and pretending that they have something of value to say, just so you can avoid being an adult and having a fact-based point of view. In this particular case, Massey has nothing to do with virology, She has no idea what she is talking about. https://vaxopedia.org/2024/08/27/did-the-fda-admit-that-there-is-no-scientific-evidence-that-monkeypox-virus-exists/ STOP CHERRY_PICKING. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_disease 37 references to study. Get to it.
  19. This shows what a fool you are: https://ourworldindata.org/global-fight-polio
  20. Are you too lazy to look up this sort of stuff? You could start with the time earlier this year when DT offered to sell legislation for $1b. Meanwhile: https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-reports/tracking-trumps-visits-to-his-properties-and-other-conflicts-of-interest/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2025/09/09/presidency-boosts-trumps-net-worth-by-3-billion-in-a-year/ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-family-billions-presidency-1235405843/ https://issueone.org/press/new-analysis-details-how-president-trump-is-monetizing-the-presidency-for-personal-profit-and-engaging-in-pay-to-play-politics/ https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-reports/trumps-term-2-corruption-by-the-numbers-more-golf-trips-more-foreign-visitors-and-more-profits/ https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/secret-service-has-spent-nearly-100k-at-trump-properties/ https://www.citizensforethics.org/reports-investigations/crew-investigations/crew-is-tracking-trumps-unprecedented-corruption-again/ https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/04/politics/trump-properties-china-foreign-payments Spare me any non-sequiturs, ad hominem attacks, false equivalences and what-aboutisms. Study and evaluate the evidence. If need be, update your views to reflect reality.
  21. Yes, he rolls up his sleeves and shovels money and benefits to himself and his family and his pals. Without doubt the most corrupt and venal president/leader of any Western country in modern times.
  22. Yep, you nutcases are all the same. Of you nitwits, I wrote: They seek shills, shysters and liars to tell them what they want to hear. So what did you do? You posted material from a shyster and a liar who has been telling you what you want to hear. BWAHAHAHA!! The story never changes: 1. Find some unqualified scammer who is peddling fact-free bull<deleted>. 2. Ignore the fact that tens of thousands of PhDs, post-graduate researchers, world-class bodies etc are doing in-good-faith impartial research and posting reproducible findings in thousands or millions of verified papers. 3. Be so conceited and delusional as to post your nonsense online. You and your silly pals think you have some inside knowledge, some deep insight that highly-qualified, ethical researchers don't have. You never ask youself, "What is it that I know that they don't?". Of course, you would never go to Google Scholar and read a peer-reviewed paper. You couldn't. You wouldn't know what the words mean. Nup. Just find one loony to obsess on. They have to be right. Never fact-check. Never apply the "Cui bono?" test. When it comes to climate change, the nutty denialists flock to dishonest liars like William Happer. Five mins examination would show that Dr Happer, well into his 80s, has zero qualifications in that subject (his area is the physics of light in the upper atmosphere) and is paid to lie by the Mercer family and Peabody energy. Happer's bull<deleted> comprises non-sequiturs, false analogies, cherry-picking and false equivalence. But he tells the dunces what they want to hear, so he is a hero. That he is a total laughing-stock amomgst tens of thousands of PhDs in Climatology, Meteorology, Geology, Oceanography, Glaciology, Geophysics, Biogeochemistry etc is ignored. You anti-vax loonies are no different. You want to bring up a lying shyster like Suzanne Humphries (whose area is kidney disease). What efforts did you take to validate and verify her position? None, of course. She is telling you what you want to hear, so why would you? Did you wonder why she, and a very tiny number of non-specialists, have a contrary view to many hundreds of thousands of virologists and immunologists? Are all specialists stupid and/or dishonest? Five mins got me this: https://science.feedback.org/review/suzanne-humphries-debunked-claims-vaccines-polio-joe-rogan/ https://www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/did-vaccines-save-us/ Humphries claims that DDT causes polio. DDT was synthesised in 1874, and polio dates back to prehistoric times. BWAHAHAHA! You want things to read? https://www.who.int/news-room/spotlight/history-of-vaccination/history-of-polio-vaccination From above: Not long afterwards, in the early 1950s, the first successful vaccine was created by US physician Jonas Salk. Salk tested his experimental killed-virus vaccine on himself and his family in 1953, and a year later on 1.6 million children in Canada, Finland and the USA. The results were announced on 12 April 1955, and Salk’s inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was licensed on the same day. By 1957, annual cases dropped from 58 000 to 5600, and by 1961, only 161 cases remained. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine# There are 148 references. Get to work. Are you going to review the facts and change your mind? Of course not. You silly, closed-minded bigots are all the same. All you want to do is tie yourself up in knots to do ANYTHING other than hold on to your nonsensical gibberish. You should be ashamed of yourself.
  23. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willard_(1971_film)
  24. Yep. Here we go again. The ignorant denialists of reality can't help themselves. What you have written is profoundly stupid, and intellectually dishonest. As for the Spanish Flu, it was not a contagious event. Just how stupid are you? The H1N1 influenza is a virus. Is this news to you? Did you not know that viruses can be (and in regard to influenza, are) infectious? Smallpox is still around. Wow. A flat-out denial of reality. What exactly do you mean by "still around"? Smallpox killed about 400,000 Europeans a year in the 18thC. Thanks to vaccination, by 1975 it had been confined to a few parts of Africa. the last recorded case was in 1978. But you live in some fact-free fantasy land. Dear me... Polio was/is caused by toxins. Polio is a virus that killed millions of people over thousands of years. Vaccination has reduced cases by 99%. FFS, man, grow up. Live in the fact-based world. Assess evidence. Being told what you want to hear is NOT evidence. When the facts call for it, be happy to change your mind. Laugh at the con-men and scammers who peddle nonsense. You can do it.
