Dude goes from high T Lymphocytes to low T cells, not understanding the difference between -cytopenia, -cythemia, and -cytosis, has no idea what a blod clot really is, confuses B_Lymphocytes with T_Lymphocytes, goes from mRNA to DNA, cites papers based on a single line while ignoring the main thesis, on and on and on.
The worst is that he speaks so confidently about it all. If given the chance, I would let him speak at our biweekly rounds. Let him present his case and have every single senior attending rip his ignorance apart. It's Goddamn absurd the shit he puts up.
I have pity though. The dude just needs a friend. Unfortunately, he is his own worst enemy. He never addresses his personal flaws. Is Socially off-putting, yet too prideful, too arrogant to admit that he has a problem.
Ever met a girl who is a 5 but thinks she's an 8? Yeah, it's like that.

Posts: 539On winners, losers, conspiracy theories
It is true there is considerable nihilism that has been exponentially increased by social media that amplifies and validates - or even celebrates - ignorance. Some yearn for religion, a 1950's white America with a quarter acre block, guns with all sorts of delusions; other crap on about trans-gender soy beans and pet lefty causes with big "In our America" virtue signalling wankery. All use cliches and ask rhetorical questions. All hate hard science and critical thinking and allowing evidence to lead.
But. There are huge areas where things really are rigged, like LIBOR, REPOS, bank bailouts and pay-for-access to change government policy, rich kids somehow always get into the Ivy league and so on. Structural inequality is real. Being black in America is no joke, malnutrition and hunger exists, and crap access to medical care. The tax system is definitely rigged. W2 earners simply have no concept how it works and neither party will breath a word about tax free capital. Blaming the victims is a straw man argument. People can do hard work, but if they have fetal alcohol, poor nutrition, crap role models and crap education, they start way at the back. The winners at Goldman Sachs are at the apex of a very corrupt rigged capital markets and tax system. I'm pretty high in in the APEX, but it is an accident of birth and yes, some hard work. But mostly access to opportunity and expectations. "Playing the game" or money is not a good measure of worth. Neither is virtue signalling and herbal tea leaf / patriarchal bullshit, just as confused at the other side grab bag of nationalism, gun rights, religion, racism. Whilst they fuck around, the real game, the property party, really does party whilst the population in fights.
These are highly corrosive to institutional trust, and this in turn fans the flames of almost universal distrust of the "government", meaning puppets of the elites. We had the Capitol invasion. The first of many meltdowns as the USD collapses as a reserve currency, inflation and global warming because we have too many people. It will get ugly. COVID is a major inflection point in history that just put things about 20 years fast forward.

Again irrelevant argument, since in Switzerland the concept of "Halterhaftung" applies in the case of speeding fines. I have quoted before the Swiss law and case decision in the Swiss Federal Court.
BTW, the law is similar in the authoritarian oppressor states of Austria and Netherlands. An example litigated in the European Court of Human Rights in Falk vs Netherlands 2004.
"A person's right in a criminal case to be presumed innocent and to require the prosecution to bear the onus of proving the allegations against him or her is not absolute, since presumptions of fact or of law operate in every criminal-law system and are not prohibited in principle by the Convention (Falk v. The Netherlands (Dec.), concerning the imposition of a fine on a registered car owner who had not been the actual driver at the time of the traffic offence)."
So, is your point that the law does not apply to you because of claimed unproven superior driving skills?

Obviously B_Cells are white blood cells. Things we learned in 9th grade.

Contraceptive group:
27 per million within 2 weeks of starting medication.
JnJ group:
0. 85 per million within 2 weeks of vaccination.
General population:
4 per million annually.
The point was to put perspective on the JnJ headlines.

Their lives are incomplete and they are unable to come to terms with their mediocrity and failures yet unwilling to do the hard work to improve their positions. Instead, they point their fingers toward a clandestine group malevolently steering society. Same basis for people who constantly blame society's problems on racism, sexism, or immigrants. But I digress.
My theory is that their failures make them so broken that they are uncomfortable with the fact that society's direction is the result of the push and pull of a plurality of groups with varying agendas. I think the idea of backroom elites being in charge actually gives many of them comfort and peace of mind. Others, well they're just starving to be seen as enlightened. Either way, conspiracy theorists seem to lack authentically and genuinely earned self confidence. Besides being broken failures, other common traits in conspiracy theorists: superficial arrogance plus lack of fundamentals.
Side note: Theories that the foundation of life came from extrastellar comets and meteors have more scientific basis than most of these conspiracy theories. Complex organic molecules such as amino acids and lipids have already been found in meteorites. The question of whether these macromolecules were formed prior to the meteorite landing on earth. But that's the difference between conspiracy theorists and actual scientific minded people: these theories stay theories until consistently proven and results replicated instead of asserting them as facts without sufficient proof..
As for viruses, it's a popular theory that they are the first stepping stones to life on earth if not considered lifeforms themselves. "Nothing wrong with viruses," is a whole other belief. They're competing to exist just like any other "life form". That means that while the vast majority are harmless, the rest are more often parasitic than beneficial. Same with bacteria, most are harmless, even gut and epidermal bacteria are essential for good health. But I'm not sure one would say that there is "nothing wrong" with them, a little misleading. Just being philosophical I guess.

Posts: 6686Good for Mursenary that he learnt about be-cells in the heparin induced thrombocytopenia literature I advised him to Google.
At least I can help in programming him into a slightly smarter individual.

2. I have already posted links twice to where the head of the investigation in the Wuhan lab himself discussed the large effort into cataloging and studying how to change the covid virus in order for it to transmit easier between human beings. And how that effort was being spearheaded at the Wuhan lab was reported on in a nature magazine article awhile back. This is no such thing as a conspiracy here when he plainly says it as clear as day in the interview he had with that Columbia uni virology professor.
3. In regards to changing the DNA, you are probably right. It probably depends on the length of the rna strand. But I never used this argument either for that reason. I just mentioned it was risky on the same merits as crispr cas-9 is risky. Then again cas-9 is not complicated enough, and that is probably the problem.
I do wonder if parts of this new rna technology will be useful in order to change DNA the same way crispr has tried it. With good help from AI of course.
4. I thought we had already agreed on the fact that we already had a dousing or more hpv viruses long before even entering an FKK. So worrying about catching maybe one more strain you randomly had missed previously should probably not be your biggest concern.

Noone knows exactly what is happening yet. It is only a theory. But we see the results clear as day. And they are not good.
MRNA does have a slight increase in thrombosis also. But instead of 2.8% as with AZ, we are talking 0. 14% so far in terms of cases. So the difference is massive. But as long as we don't know exactly how this is happening yet, as was written in the links I posted, we don't know if this is something becomes a bigger problem over time. Or even after more and more shots are being taken to the same individual. In a study regarding MMR vaccines, the T-cell levels increased in 67% of the cases. And this in turn results in fewer platelets.
