    Posting newspaper reporters opinions that match your own dont support your own poor behavior here! Just a sad argument between two old men who should know better! Both of you should be ashamed of yourself????

     

    The people who wrote the article are Psychologists - not reporters.

    Which you would have known if you read them. And saved a few eggs in the process.

  2. Our own research has shown again and again that what doctors say is important in their prescribing of a particular therapy/disease area is NOT what actually drives their prescribing.

    For example, in one specialty area, doctors said their top three drivers of prescribing were large body of clinical evidence to support the brand, impressive write ups in journals, and good patient compliance.

    In fact, the data showed that the real drivers were that the brand should be highly effective in maintaining remission, safe in the long term, and safe in the short term.

    We have examples in virtually every therapy area known to man where what doctors say is important and what actually drives prescribing are completely different!

    One has to look no further than the Opioid crisis to see that Doctors do not know what the Heck they are doing. And this is with the full backing of Big Pharma.

    The idea that Big Pharma is suppressing Ivermectin because it’s cheap is pretty crazy. Dexamethazone is cheap and proven effective, and nobody is suppressing it.

    You fail to understand the point I am making.

    Any of them.

    That you believe Big Pharma is a lot more crazy IM not so HO

    Now that your first defense has been trashed, the reality is that Ivermectin is pretty dangerous stuff.

    So ... some patients overdose themselves

    Better ban Aspirin and a million other drugs I can name where an overdose is dangerous.

    This song, especially the video attached to it, gets me in the feels every time I hear it. Even though it is 7(?) years old and the figures quoted (in the video) are lower than they are today, it gets to me. I'm not American but served 23 years in another country's armed forces; I can understand.

     

     

    Just another example of people DGAF

    Been going on for ever, but really got public after Nam

  6. Research indicates that the reach of fake news websites is limited to small parts of the population. On the other hand, data demonstrate that large proportions of the public know about notable fake news stories and believe them. These findings imply the possibility that most people hear about fake news stories not from fake news websites but through their coverage in mainstream news outlets. Thus far, only limited attention has been directed to the role of mainstream media in the dissemination of disinformation. To remedy this, this article synthesizes the literature pertaining to understand the role mainstream media play in the dissemination of fake news, the reasons for such coverage and its influences on the audience.

    Two well-known examples are a complex of fake news websites run by teenagers from a small town in Macedonia and a U.S. company called Disinfomedia, owning many sites disguised as serious journalism (including USAToday.com.co and WashingtonPost.com.co). Both operations spread pro-Trump and anti-Clinton fake news stories prior to the 2016 U.S. elections (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017, p. 217), as did many so-called alternative news websites in the right-wing media ecosystem (Benkler et al., 2018).

    An internet search of "ivermectin overdoses oklahoma" will provide numerous other sources.

     

    The mind boggles - that you and many others reject ALL mainstream news media and instead go for fringe sources you find on the internet.

    You seem to make make assumptions of what I do and do not reject.

    Show me where I advocate 'Fringe' sources - all I have posted is a distrust of mainstream media, and for good reason.

    Easy enuf to find bias in all of them, if you care to look.

    But many people have blinders on and will take at face value anything that is put in front of them

    More Fools Them

    So, until a vaccine meets your personal standards, you are pro-Covid.

    I think you are being deliberately obtuse, that is not what the poster said. And I think you are well aware of this.

    Sorry but Please explain why would a tube run hotter on a tubeless tire? Thanks

    More friction. The tube flexes inside the tire, which creates heat.

    It also flexes in a tube type tire.

    Not a lot of difference, but a difference none the less.

  11. I remember Nancy Reagan - you know, wife of the liar, thief, crook, and all around bad apple.

    Just Say No - marijuana is bad, has no medicinal value, yadda yadda yadda

    And now - how times have changed.

    Just keep on being spoon fed, keep on believing established liars who are out for your $$$ and have no interest in your well being - ZERO

    Gullible ? Senile ? Fluffy coat made of wool ? 555
