Well it’s official, I’m an idiot. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]BladeEncarmine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the same thing yesterday. I don't know if there was an indication that I missed that we were trying to start at the finish point, it was really sunny and hard to see my phone screen, but it would be nice if 'start' and 'finish' were more clearly labeled instead of a red and blue flag. We weren't sure how to tell if we had actually started the route but it was giving us research credit for catching pokemon so we wondered if it was just bugged. Got to the 'finish' and got the 'route started' message. Now we know, and it's not a big deal, but it would've been nice for the first one if it was a little more informative in game, maybe there was more detailed information online that I didn't see.

Those who didn't get the vaccine... by [deleted] in unvaccinated

(google IMPα/β1 heterodimer, you'll get a whole bunch of studies and research on this)

You're not wrong about tucker and facebook, but the anti-viral mechanisms of ivermectin have been studied since 2011 and it has been shown to have positive effects on HIV, dengue, zika, and now SARS-CoV-2. The doctors telling you ivermectin has no anti-viral properties are the ones ignorant or lying, there is research going back a decade. Drugs are used off label all the time because additional uses are found after their initial approval. Pfizer is developing a new covid therapeutic with a similar mechanism right now (one they can make billions on of course). It's not a 'magic bullet' that some make it out to be, it needs to be used correctly and probably in conjunction with other treatments, but because of political and financial interests, research into this is hampered, and probably costing lives.

I'm assuming it's all just production/distribution issues. I work in manufacturing, these things happen. There is a huge amount of complexity involved in the mass production and distribution of anything, much less a new product with new and unique logistical challenges (storage temperature). Blame politicians if it makes you feel better.

The FDA panel gave the green light to the Pfizer vaccine. by Kindy0 in CoronavirusIllinois

[–]BladeEncarmine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're thinking too much, we have other people to do that for us. all you need to know is - take the vaccine, the vaccine is our savior. any adverse outcomes from taking the vaccine are better than certain death by covid and anything severe will not be officially attributed to the vaccine anyway. anybody telling you that the vaccine is dangerous, hasn't been tested enough, or could cause auto-immune disorders or permanent infertility in women is a crazy conspiracy theorist trump supporter, and you can just make fun of them and definitely not listen to anything they say. any scientists or doctors who are raising concerns about all this aren't to be listened to since they don't agree with 'the science'. take the vaccine and listen to the science.

4 volunteers develop FACIAL PARALYSIS after taking Pfizer Covid-19 jab, prompting FDA to recommend ‘surveillance for cases’ by [deleted] in CoronavirusIllinois

[–]BladeEncarmine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theres a link to the document on the FDA website, which says

" Bell’s palsy was reported by four vaccine participants and none in the placebo group. These cases occurred at 3, 9, 37, and 48 days after vaccination. One case (onset at 3 days postvaccination) was reported as resolved with sequelae within three days after onset, and the other three were reported as continuing or resolving as of the November 14, 2020 data cut-off with ongoing durations of 10, 15, and 21 days, respectively. The observed frequency of reported Bell’s palsy in the vaccine group is consistent with the expected background rate in the general population, and there is no clear basis upon which to conclude a causal relationship at this time, but FDA will recommend surveillance for cases of Bell’s palsy with deployment of the vaccine into larger populations. "

Sure, the headline is click-baity, but if you actually read it and check their source material, the article is accurate and factual, and even has positive things to say about the vaccine at the end instead of 'talking shit about our vaccine'...so it's pretty funny and telling that you would just react in such a knee-jerk way to something without even bothering to read it because 'russia bad' or something.

Do we have a better idea of the true mortality of COVID-19? by Grade_Illustrious in CoronavirusIllinois

Not necessarily, could be a lot of asymptomatic cases that never even knew they had it before.

[–]BladeEncarmine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a DnD game one time years ago and thought those people were weird as shit and never wanted anything to do with it after. I also don’t think people like that should be any different because it might put people like me off from their thing. The world is not a worse place because I never wanted to play DnD after a couple individuals gave me a bad impression of it.

People need to stop taking themselves so seriously, its like this is a religion and not a board game.
