The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

[Al-O-Meter]

Personally, I don't think people should be treated like lab rats.

Really? So, Ivermectin was shown in a peer reviewed study published by a prominent academic journal to reduce cell-associated viral RNA by 99.8 % in 24 hours IN A LABORATORY.

The FDA-approved drug ivermectin inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro

Although several clinical trials are now underway to test possible therapies, the worldwide response to the COVID-19 outbreak has been largely limited…

So you think we should just use the lab results as all the information we need to declare it the best? Is that what you believe? No people testing needed and all science is done? Or should we maybe see what it does in people before we go crazy with declaring it better than the vaccines?

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.

Moved to the Biden Administration thread.

Just off the top of my head, it could have been worse by:
Suffering the loss of over 100 servicemen in trying to keep Kabul secure during the evacuation, instead of 13.
Transporting out less than 1,000 people instead of over 125,000.
Leaving behind weapons that could be maintained and used, instead of what will be rotting junk in a few months.

This could have been so, so much worse.

But Taliban offered Biden full control of Kabul. None of this hypothetical would've happened.

Full control of Kabul means American troops are guarding it. The more troops we have out there and the further they are extended, the bigger the target we present for ISIS-K. I don't know why this is not obvious to you.

So you think it was a success? What parts exactly?

You asked "How could it possibly get any worse?", I answered. There is a lot of room between 'could not get worse' and 'unqualified success'. I won't even claim it went as well as could be expected.

Ivermectin could very well help, but it's about the right dosage which is the issue right now with some taking OTC medications while others are taking products not fit for humans.

Morphine definitely helps with pain management, but there's a big difference between taking 10 mg and 8 oz. You mentioned in an earlier post that we need to understand efficacy and I agree completely - I'm all for it working if it can be harnessed in a constructive way that health professionals can agree upon, not social media influencers.

No it's not. It's about dismantling any other helpful cure so big Pharma, you know the companies that charge 10000% more for for life saving drugs, can get richer.

Making a lot of excuses though.

Sure, Big Pharm will get richer if they can take something and market it as that's their MO, but my central point is that a safe and effective dosage needs to be understood. People taking ivermectin right now have no concept on what is the right dosage or method - and getting their advice from Facebook is a dangerous move that can cost human capital.

Agree but I say let natural selection run it's course.

Literally one of the biggest Presidential blunders in our history.


Sacramento Democratic Rep. Ami Bera told Fox News that his office and the district are working hand-in-hand to bring the students home, but noted that the Biden administration has yet to provide an update on how they will safely bring the children home.

"Our office has been in close contact with the San Juan Unified School District, and have urgently flagged this with the Department of Defense and State Department. We have not received an update from DOD or State," a spokesperson for Bera told the outlet.
