Null and Void. Frick and Frack. Klackkity Klack. Poetry. ISG at the same time becomes the most meaningless and important construct in my life. Go figure.

Bonus points if you can pick out which of the three men is Osteo.

Posts: 1643One more, and I am certain there are many more I neglected to mention
The other topic that popped into my head after my previous post was, do you understand the demographics of the most effected population cohorts from Covid, and the implications that has on a vaccine program? Do you understand the contribution and burden of health care costs of those effected populations? Who is the largest single payer of health care services and durable medical equipment in the world?

Posts: 1643Just like you cannot fix the unfixable,
I cannot teach the unteachable, but I am willing to look at that as my inadequacy and not yours, so I will try and give you the basics on the background info you need to understand what is going on with Covid.
I am going to write this once, on the fly. I will not spend any extra time doing revisions, there will be errors of omission, and it will be far from purrfekt.
First off, to properly understand the issue, do you:
Have a basic understanding of population statistics, a bell curve, and standard deviations? Do you understand the important difference between a median and a mean (or average). Do you have the judgment to accurately identify and determine significant from insignificant variables?
Know the two basic immune systems of the human body, cellular and humoral, the main differences and which system has immune memory? Do you understand physiological cascades? Do you understand how vaccines work?
Off the top of your head can you name at least two of the most successful vaccines of all time? Which disease has been officially eradicated from earth solely due to vaccinations, and what other horrible disease is about to be wiped off the planet next due to vaccines? Do you even know the difference between and antigen and an antibody? What are the only two vaccines used to prevent STD's (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) and are they working? Can you describe the difference between a successful vaccine program and not?
Understand what makes a screening test valid, and acceptable margins of error on test results? Can you accurately apply the concepts of sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value?
Have a basic working knowledge of pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinectics, and pharmacoeconomics? Do you understand the different classes and types of medical treatments that are being offered to treat Covid in addition to the vaccines?
Do you know what defines side effects? Do you understand the difference between outliers and sentinel events? Do you know what defines a successful vaccine program, for example, what are the threshold levels and how do you use attack rate to determine those thresholds?
Do you have a general understanding of how health care is delivered in the United States, for example, who depends on private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare or the military, or how the uninsured get their vaccines? Do you understand the difference between delivering and assessing individual and population health interventions and outcomes?
Do you understand the inherent flaws introduced by the testing techniques being used for Covid, the differences in the results of the different types of testing, and how this all introduces error in the data results, including error introduction inherent in the reporting process itself?
Do you recognize your own personal biases that you interject into your argument? Do you have any idea about what it is you don't know? Knowing what you don't know is one of the highest, if not the highest levels of intellectual functioning, right next to Synthesis. Knowledge, Comprehension, and Analysis are lower levels.
Do you have any real world, professional, or educational experience and training about vaccines and public health other than just what you "read about" on the Internet and elsewhere? Do you understand mutations and their effect on testing results, and more importantly, on clinical outcomes? Do you or should you care that Covid vaccines may need to be repeated indefinitely and why?
I am sure I left at least a few more topics out, but this should give you an idea of the complexity of the Covid issue.
I will give you a minute to chew on this before my closing post about this subject.

And if you donating 25% of your income after you pay your income and property tax, then you are an idiot LOL. 25% That's a little excessive man, unless you are making close to half a million a year, and if you are god bless you, but I highly fucking doubt that because it seems you spend way too much time on this forum. If I was making that dough, I certainly wouldn't be wasting a dozen posts a day on this forum like it seems you do.
I am no saint, and I would never claim to be. I do work a full time career helping people daily which required 6 years of education and other credentials as well. I pay my taxes and most of the time I am decent citizen and member of the community. I draw the line right there though, LOL I am definitely not donating 30-40 thousand a year to charity though lololol. Hell no! Love you guys so much, you make me so warm and fuzzy inside, especially T-king Osteo haha.

I'm employed, usually putting in 70 hours per week, although 80-85 hours isn't unusual. I know you were mostly directing at Paulie, but I probably lift more fingers, more often, to help people out than you do. Last year my cash donations came up to almost 25% of my income (and none of that went to a church or other non-profit group). Even here, on ISG, that's what I do, offer help. If someone has a question, if I can, I answer it. If I'm in Medellin and someone has a problem, I help them. I've even gotten out of bed, gotten dressed and went down to help clear up a situation with a friend in need, when I was sick. I've played wingman for dozens of guys, taken them around El Centro, the casas, to restaurants, to explore the metro system, even up to Parque Arvi and Comuna 13.
If someone posts something which is wrong, or potentially dangerous, I respond. I respond because I've talked to guys who took bad advice and ended up wasting time and money, occasionally putting themselves at risk. All because someone posted some bullshit. Why should someone else find themselves in a bad situation because of the people on here who can't be trusted?
If you're so interested in "lifting a finger" to help a neighbor, why aren't you doing the same thing? Instead of speaking out against the bullshit and lies, you support them. How much have you contributed? How big of a difference have you made? Go hop over into the Medellin thread and search for posts which mention your handle. How many times has someone publicly thanked you for helping them out?
Now compare that number (0) to the number of posts where you've insulted others, attacked others. How many of your attacks contain any truth? For example, Paulie is well educated. Read any of his posts and his education is quite obvious.

If you're interested in buying videos, Facebook girls are a good option. You can get a more personal touch. If you're looking to meet up with girls, Facebook is a good option. However, you're better off keeping those 2 groups separate. You don't need to stay in contact with the girls, except when you're in Medellin. Just a quick note shortly before you arrive is sufficient.

"Tres personas que llegaron procedente de Bogotá a Santa Marta fueron, al parecer, escopolaminadas cuando iban a cumplir una cita de negocios. Los tres hombres solo recordaron a las 5 a.m. de este miércoles que estaban en una trocha cercana al aeropuerto Simón Bolívar y les habían robado sus pertenencias. Solo recuerdan que una persona en una camioneta los recogió para ir a la cita de negocio y desde entonces no recuerdan más nada. Lea toda la información en www.zonacero.com."

Could she have a fake ID? Sure but both the places I mentioned do a very detailed check, which greatly reduces the possibility.
Alternatively, there is a very upscale love hotel called Thematic Luxury on Avenida 33 (or Calle 34). You have to check in and pay for the room and the girl (and you too) have to show ID. You pay for the room and go to your place and it has an electronic lock. You do your business and when you want to leave you have to notify the reception. They send someone up on the other side of the wall to verify that you didn't take anything from the mini-frig. But before reception sends the person up they insist on speaking to the guy. If the guy is incapacitated, guess what. They don't open the electronic door until they send a guard up to check. No girl is going to pull something like this when she won't be able to get out of the room. There are a lot of these upscale love-hotels and they generally operate the same way.
Most of the drugging's occur at a bar and the minute you look away someone can slip the mickey into your drink. So if you aren't comfortable, do your drinking in your hotel room with the protections in place. Or go there with your wingman.
