I say the same about abortion.
I know it puts me in the minority, but I'm all for it. If Joe Rogan wants to experiment with Ivermectin then I think it is great and I hope it works. My only caveat is that I hope all the data is collected, good outcome or bad, so that our knowledge base increases. I'm all for experimentation, and if a grown adult wants to subject his or her body to experimentation I believe they should be allowed. If the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine had been offered on that basis I know that millions would have taken it in early 2020 experimentally, including myself.
Your "common sense" approach is way too heavy on the former word and too light on the latter.
When I look for people to explain the cause of a natural phenomenon, should I look to the scientists or the "common sense" approach of talking to the CIA? I'll go with the former.
You do understand you're talking about China?
I was unaware bats had died out.
The posters go through the same warning system as anyone. I don't expect the posts to be deleted, but you can counter them without repeating them.
No, he left so they wouldn't be killed when we overstayed the agreement Trump signed. Do you have any evidence they are now dead?
Waiting for your proof it was a bat.......
Trump signed an agreement to be out may 1st. This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
Proof is for mathematics and alcohol. If you meant "evidence", the studies in human-transmissible bat-coronaviruses are legion.
Biden got an extension on that agreement to go to Aug 31. Do you think the evacuation would have gone better if we stuck the the May 1 deadline?
How could it possibly get any worse? The timeframe doesn't matter, the complete ineptness of your stupid president to leave Americans and its allies behind not to mention surrender airbases and billions in weapons is the problem. Nobody was against us leaving, nobody.
What I have is good enough for Nature, so I'm fine with my position.

Why? Made sense to me.
"Hypothesis"What I have is good enough for Nature, so I'm fine with my position.
The COVID lab-leak hypothesis: what scientists do and don’t know
Nature examines arguments that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab in China, and the science behind them.
This article basically says it very well could have came from a lab. Yet you completely dismiss itWhat I have is good enough for Nature, so I'm fine with my position.

It is unfortunate that some of the branches are ignoring the advice of the NEA and the AFT.
You mean, the data from this table (which is the only place I saw with confidence intervals:
Characteristic | No. (%) of schools | No. of enrolled students | No. of cases§ | Cases per 500 students enrolled (95% CI) | RR¶ (95% CI) |

Masks aren't suppose to replace vaccines. Your comparison here is bordering on misinformation. Looking at the above, I see circa 150 kids who didn't get covid19 in the mask requirement schools. I'm pretty sure you're not OK with those kids getting not getting covid19.
IN A PETRI DISH, AT LEVELS THAT WOULD POISON A HUMAN BEING. It has no effect at all in clinical trials.
No, I think humans should receive the very best of care possible, and it's irresponsible to sacrifice human health for the sake of forming control groups. This goes for masking as well as vaccines.
Exactly. One with no good evidence behind it.
Except, I don't. I said, "We have a pretty good guess at the origin, but no certainty. I don't see how that changes our behavior or the efficiency of vaccines."
Evidence like extremely poor safety conditions at Wuhan? A level 2 security in which only eyeglasses were required? Wuhan studying rat to human covid transmission? The supposed origin(Wuhan Market)being literally less than a block away? Doctors supposedly getting sick?
All of which is consistent with covid19 having a natural origin.
Just recently, SARS, MERS, Ebola, etc., were all from natural sources. Natural sources are the most common origin of these diseases, so you need good evidence to say that was not the case here.
