  1. Cool - refer to a gated website so everyone is locked out except you. I was hoping to read a real scientific research paper but never mind... Fraud or faked results are common but the difference is that if said research cannot be replicated, it is ignored. You should not think scientists accept it without replication.
  2. He is not an expert on vaccines, which is why he wouldn't know a lie if it fell on him. I notice you still don't have any scientific evidence, just a proven liar entertainment channel and a fake doctor. "In the spring of 2010 stories first swirled around Sen. Rand Paul’s certification as an ophthalmologist by an outfit called the “National Ophthalmology Board,” an entity he founded." This board "has been out of business since 2011, and in any event, does not under Kentucky law permit him to advertise as “board certified.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2013/11/08/rand-paul-has-another-problem/
  3. You are quoting an entertainment channel that lost a lot of money when it was proven in court that they lie? P.S. Rand Paul is an eye doctor. He specializes in cataract and glaucoma surgeries, LASIK procedures, and corneal transplants, not vaccines.
  4. I have looked at professional analyses of scientific data that would count as fake but the amount is not 50% - Martinson et al. (2005), which is one of the largest and most frequently cited surveys on misconduct published to date. This study appears to be rather conservative, because without it the pooled average frequency with which scientists admit they have committed misconduct would jump to nearly 3%. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2685008/ Moreover, no one appears to agree with you about Covid vaccine being the problem created using fake information. Scientific research shows it is misinformation on Facebook and Twitter that causes people to believe "they are out to get us." It is just not proven by the scientific community. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk3451 (2024) Perhaps you should provide a link to the research proving the vaccine data was faked (NOT Facebook) so I and others can see for ourselves.
  5. People confusing Jewish as a religion and Israeli as the nationality of a country again. Irish Jews are Irish, not Israeli.
  6. Firstly, farmers don't compete with forests. If a land shortage constrains the production of food, it should mean that food prices go up. This same argument is being used in Brazil to decimate rain-forests for farmland. Population growth should be a better area to look at. Offsetting cows' farts is important because methane is something like (if memory serves) 25 times stronger that CO2 in terms of both being greenhouse gases, thus well worth looking into.
  7. While I dislike censorship in a free society, I understand that every side has their own point of view. I would therefore encourage more fact check organizations that can prove their independence and base their comments on hard evidence.
  8. My guess is that as the country sinks further into economic chaos, more young men will see the monk hood as a form of social security rather than for any religious reason.
  9. One scenario I have envisaged (for a novel) is to make up as many lies as possible so the torturer cannot know which version is true.
  10. It isn't that surprising when the people running the economy know nothing about economics and a lot about jailing people.
  11. And you know that because you are a top scientist?
  12. Biden or Trump - it doesn't matter. If the majority vote for one or the other, that's fine. Accept the majority.
  13. I love that people without a PhD in science always know more than the guy who studied science for decades. Ho hum.
  14. I learned that during the Crusades christians massacred Muslims in the middle east. I don't think there is any religion that doesn't have blood on its hands. Never heard of a war where Atheists were the cause (Stalin and Hitler were Christians).
  15. Coalition governments are not unusual globally. Pita is rather optimistic at this time.
  16. As I said, microchip companies? Another article on AN discusses tech exports from Vietnam.
  17. Thailand may well lose a lot of income. The UK is the world largest producer and that's not to be sniffed at. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2023-0086/#:~:text=However%2C we do know that,for medical and scientific purposes.
  18. Another part of Thailand to be destroyed by mass tourism? Why does everyone feel they need tourists instead of microchip companies?
  19. Nice to see the BBC apologizing and withdrawing something. Fox News next?
  20. Not sure how important the Philippines and other Asian countries are to the US. 13,208 km separate them. Asian countries are so underarmed they need America more than America needs them
  21. Perhaps a legal beagle here can clarify something. If someone signs a legal document not to make public some facts, but later reneges on that commitment, is there a legal case to sue her to retrieve all the monies paid for her silence?
  22. Hope nobody mind if I make a small correction to the article: A poll conducted by JL Partners in April, commissioned by the Henry Jackson Society, revealed that 77 percent of 18-34 year old British Muslims do not support the concept of jihad. Additionally, two in three Muslims in this age group did not express a desire for Sharia law to be imposed in Britain.
  23. It's like reading the rants of children today. So sad.
  24. I guess Hunter Biden must have had a secret position in the White House to deserve this. If he broke the law, find him guilty and get on with it without this hullabaloo.
  25. Not sure who is the more dangerous to Thai democracy - Wissanu Krea-ngam or Meechai Ruchupan. Both should be retired.
