Thing about Osteo's proclamation about truth is that you look at all these people who were wrong:
Joe Biden: You're Not Going To Get COVID If You Have These Vaccinations.
Tony Fauci: You Become A Dead End To The Virus.

Now there's this.
[QUOTE=ShooBree;2657154]Lmfao, you're obviously too stupid to understand the full situation. I'm not saying that you're a terrible person but the consequences of the actions you're supporting are terrible.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I must be too stupid to understand so explain the full situation and the consequences since you are so smart. By the way, who are you to butt in? The others who responded and who I had addressed my comments to did so in a mature civil manner. Look in the mirror to see who is the stupid one. Keep laughing, it keeps you from talking and you only look like a fool rather than prove it.
Yet another topic that I should have previously listed in order to properly understand the Covid issues, probably next to the bell curve stuff, is of course p values and null hypotheses, basic stuff. I am certain I could come up with many more relevant topics if I put in the time and energy.
Assume for a moment you answered "yes" to all the topics I mentioned previously about what you needed to have for at least a working knowledge to understand the Covid issue. Then I would have to ask you, on what basis are your arguing your point? Do you have some secret inner knowledge or magic powers that enlightens only you and no one else in the world?
El Capo's story was the tip of the iceberg. Believable. That's not supposed to happen. Or let's say there is no utility in counting his outcome as a positive test result, because he wasn't sick. Or is there? Does he pass on the virus and make other people sick? And do they do the same? No one knows. People who tell you they know, don't know. That is the most common pitfall of people with above average intelligence, they don't know what they don't know.
There are significant enough errors in the totals of all the following data sets to render them unusable and corrupt:
People who didn't get "sick" but tested positive (Capo).
People who got sick and tested positive (this is the data set that needs the highest specificity) who lived or died (and highest positive predictive value).
People who got sick with Covid but tested negative, for numerous reasons, the least of which is not the unidentified mutations circulating in the population right now. Huge factor.
People who didn't get sick but tested negative and were still carrying and transmitting Covid with varying, unknown pathogenicity (significant, yet totally uncounted).
People who tested negative and died from Covid (you probably didn't even think of that one).
Not only are their significant numbers in each of these cohorts, except for perhaps the last one, the numbers are off by way more than a significant margin within each cohort. We have no idea of the accurate numbers in each cohort because of unreliability in testing, collecting data, and outcome measures. The exact mechanisms of those errors are many and beyond the scope of this answer. You could write a book about it and maybe I will.
That's what I am talking about when I tell you Covid is a giant clulsterfuck and shitshow. The train has left station. That ship has sailed. There is no valid data upon which we can draw useful conclusions about current state. If you happen to be right it is by intuition or dumb luck. That's why it is unnecessary for me to read all your posts about this because those of you who are arguing the loudest and the longest are the same ones who are the most clueless.
There is no giant conspiracy or any dominant force controlling anything with Covid other than nature, or God, or The Cosmic Blueberry Muffin, whichever you prefer. There may be groups that wish they could interject their control, but they can't, because you can't organize random mass chaos.
The reason everything is so unnatural right now is because this is the first major epidemic since the invention of the Internet, and just like assholes, everyone has an opinion and if they rant loud enough they can get heard.
We never should have intervened in the beginning, but now it's too late go back. No matter what we do, pretty much this virus is going to run a natural course. We may eventually get ahead of the eight ball with annual custom Covid vaccine shots. What does that remind you of? Fucking influenza A or flu shots for which we do exactly that already. Since everything I have predicted so far has come true with Covid, let me tell you how I believe it's going to end up.
You will get your annual Covid shot. They will mix it with flu vaccine to make it more convenient and you get protected from both Covid and flu each year with one stick. Somehow they will legislate it to be mandatory, which will be it's own separate clusterfuk. I don't know how many years it will take for this to happen, maybe 5-6? My guess is better than yours.
The Covid era will be history until the next new epidemic hits. And if we don't apply lessons learned from this pansy virus, and we get hit by a new virus with a seriously high attack and mortality rate, guess what kiddies? That's the end. The end of all of it. The end of mankind.
Every time someone on ISG says something Covid related like, "Oh, you did this so that happened" they are simply stroking their own ego by agreeing with themselves and their own preheld, biased, uninformed beliefs.
There is no good data to support any stance you take with Covid now. That is one reason why everyone gets so emotional because there is no valid data to back up their argument. There is no argument for current state. Intelligent and informed people should be discussing future state and lessons learned.
Maybe two or three of you have the intelligence and insight enough to understand this. I already admitted to my failure in being able to teach it. Oh, and BTW I did not look up one fucking thing on the Internet to write this. All on the fly. If a couple of you bend a little and realize the futility of your viewpoint then that will be the best for which I can hope, but for now, I am done. If you could grasp what I am teaching you then you would realize it doesn't matter what you believe or think about Covid up until now. Calm down. Relax. Move on or work on improving current state of Covid or the next public health debacle in the Internet Age. I am going back to concentrating on spreading love. Jajajjaja.
I told myself I would never get sucked into this argument, especially in a place like this, but you dragged me out of the piranha pool like a snarling, gnashing Pit Bull. Just like I solved your nagging Supply and Demand quandary, this one is also in the books. QED. Done.
Ostee Out, and as always, Keep On Keepin' On and obviously I love you guys or I wouldn't be doing this. I still owe you a treatise on why Intelligence is counterproductive in the mongering game, jajajajaa. Whut Whut? I might tidy this article up a bit and get it published in a more widespread, general venue. If that happens, I will let you know. But it needs to be professionally edited, first.
[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;2657229]You guys jump to extreme conclusions so fast. Why would you assume I want unhealthy people to die? This is such a common thing I see about the weirdos who view the vaccines like its 15th century religious sin to always go to extreme lengths to promote the vaccine and shame anyone who doesn't want it mandated. I never said anything close to wanting unhealthy people to die. You make yourself look so biased and unhinged when you attribute views to people that they don't support just to argue your opinion.
Again, just look at the hundreds of thousands of cases a day of covid. Look at the hundreds of thousands of deaths since the 95% effective vaccines have been available. The mandates and restrictions are not going to slow the virus down at this point. The vaccines failed us. We all for the sake of society should be as realistic as possible about this virus and our response. We shouldn't just blindly blame everything on the 8% of people who didn't get the vaccine. That 8% did not make a significant difference. The difference was the vaccines didn't prevent transmission. The vaccines were not 95% effective at stopping death and hospitalization. We cannot control the virus at this point. If you at risk and value your health and safety, you should be social distancing / masking and forcing people to shutdown the economy and socially isolate themselves because we have done that and it doesn't work. It just destroys our economy, our youth's education, and increases crime and mental illness..[/QUOTE]Read what you wrote. Old people die LOL. What's so funny about that? And you also said let the healthy live. You don't seem to be a Nazi at least not a real German Nazi. But you do seem to be a very angry person. Since you are so smart, what is your solution to the virus and where have you travelled in the last 3 years?
Evidently a lot less people really want these jabs than the numbers say. Making a digital trail is really a rookie mistake. Do your dirt, but for scammer sake don't put the evidence in the state's database!
"Two nurses on New York's Long Island are being charged with forging Covid-19 vaccination cards and entering the fake jabs in the state's database, a scam that allegedly raked in more than $1.5 million.
From November 2021 to January 2022, the pair allegedly forged vaccination cards, charging adults $220 apiece and $85 per child for a fake record that would land in the New York State Immunization Information System database. ".

[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;2657148]I am not saying we should do anything to speed up death for anyone who is at risk. I do not mean to disrespect anyone based on age or health. It is funny to me because it is so glaringly obvious that we cannot control this virus and whether or not we have lockdowns, vaccine mandates, travel restrictions, etc. The same amount of people at this point are going to contract the virus. We might as well preserve our economy and freedom rather than destroy it in the name of politics, shaming, and fear mongering. I feel sorry for those affected by this virus, both young and old. The young losing out on normalcy during childhood and of course the elderly losing out at enjoying their golden years. As I have said before, this virus is a force of nature, it's like trying to control a hurricane, you can't to a certain degree. All you can do is minimize the damage it causes. I didn't need to do 12 hours of reading peer reviewed studies either to come to this conclusion. I am very concerned about real world problems like crime, inflation, and social isolation which is also wreaking havoc across society. Poor have gotten much poorer during this pandemic and it should addressed as much or if not more than vaccine mandates and travel tests for tourists.
I don't see how anyone can say what I wrote is insane, but I am sure haters will come out and spit venom because I am not a sheep in the herd.[/QUOTE]Insane? Pretty close. I've got a bit of time to waste, so let's revisit it.
[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;2655888]Old people die Huacho LOL. It's part of life. You can't make all of society suffer for a virus we haven't been able to control for over 2 years. At this point anyone advocating for vaccine mandates or crazy restrictions is not thinking clearly and following the "science". Even besides the "science", the people have spoke, no one gives a fuck anymore. Let people live while they are healthy and if you are at risk, you should be the one quarantining. Not shutting society down for people who are on their death beds anyway.[/QUOTE]"Old people die Huacho LOL."
Not only does your opening line demonstrate a complete lack of empathy, you tack on a LOL to show that the idea of people dying prematurely is funny to you. If you're arguing that your post wasn't insane, you're off to a bad start.
"You can't make all of society suffer for a virus we haven't been able to control for over 2 years. "
I'll give you a pass on the 2 years part, even though in the US, absolutely no attempt was made to control the virus until April 2020. Let's just focus on "we haven't been able to control. "
Every attempt at control has met with fierce resistance. There was even a plot to kidnap the Governor of Michigan because people didn't want to wear masks. There was only one 4 week period when the US made a real attempt to control the virus. It was effective. As soon as it became obvious we were having success almost everyone stopped following the measures which were successfully controlling the virus.
The insane part of your comment is your failure to comprehend that the US isn't the only country in the world. Kind of nutty.
Since the beginning of the pandemic about 0. 4% of the US population has died from Covid. Over the same period, 0. 02% of the Cambodian population has died from Covid. In Canada deaths account for 0. 09% of the population. Deaths in Germany 0. 01% of the population. New Zealand, 0. 002%, Singapore 0. 02%.
It seems obvious, once you recognize that the US isn't the only country in the world, that controlling the virus has been done quite well in other places.
I won't quote the rest, but twice you put quotes around science. Doing so indicates you're not talking about science. Were you unaware, or are you talking about some pseudoscience? I will agree that many people aren't following the science, which is why the US has sucked so much ass at attempting to control the virus.
Your final bit of lunacy; "people who are on their death beds anyway. " Again, a complete lack of empathy and a failure to understand anything about human life. Being 60,70 or 80 years old doesn't equal "on their death beds. " Having diabetes, a heart condition, COPD or any other condition which is a Covid comorbidity isn't "on their death beds. " I met a guy in Medellin who was over 70 and still making 3 or 4 mongering trips per year. Another guy on ISG is in his 80's and is having the time of his life. Probably half the people here are eligible for the senior citizen discount at Denny's. Yet you clearly consider them all to be disposable.
Back to your post at the top. You mentioned "destroy our economy. " I've been scoffing at that idea for nearly 2 years now. No economy, throughout history has ever been destroyed. Severely damaged, yes. Destroyed, no. The US economy grew over 1. 7% last quarter, which is equal to an annual rate of 6. 9%, the strongest growth in decades. If you're claiming we need to stop "fear mongering", while claiming a strong and growing economy is being destroyed, what you're doing is fear mongering.
You also said we need to stop shaming, I'm assuming your talking about shaming people who argue that people shouldn't get vaccinated. However, in practically every post you're trying to shame someone. Why do you constantly do things you claim shouldn't be done?
In conclusion, perhaps "insane" is a bit strong. "Deranged", "uninformed" or "out of touch" might be more accurate labels.
[QUOTE=Huacho;2657221]...If you want a serious discussion about what a human life costs, these are valued in civil courts every day. ...[/QUOTE]It's not about monetary cost at all if that is what you are getting at
Assume there is a population of 1 million and only 1 person is over 50, that person's age is 99. Assume there is no monetary cost to quarantine (means curfew, restrictions, tests) anyone, and the people younger than 50 will get the virus but none will die.
You can 1: Quarantine the old men, or you can 2: Quarantine the rest of the population, what is your choice, 1, or 2? And why?
[QUOTE=Huacho;2657221]All human lives should have equal value[/QUOTE]
I can agree with that. My question to you is how do you measure it? Purely by number of years lived? What if a person's live span is shorten but not dead, should the shorten live span be taken into consideration?
[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;2657225]Look man, I don't want to go back and forth with you all day. In all my life, I have never met a dude who donates 25% of his hard earned cash to charity. Seems really fucking strange to me. If I had to guess, you got to be full of shit and just trying to look noble in a filthy sex mongering forum. But if that's what really lights up your day, giving tens of thousands of dollars to total fucking strangers, then god bless you. You certainly don't need me to tell you what to do with your money.
Paulie has jumped in plenty of time and started shit with me over the vaccine shit. He's a big boy, he can handle it I am sure. Again, your posts are just weird and it bothers me. Are you really going back and reading and counting posts where I attacked people and keeping score? Again, you have way too much time on your hands. For the record, if you do go back and read my posts, I am usually responding to the hate and not starting it.[/QUOTE]You would help your cause immensely if you took the time to read and understand what you respond to. If you had properly understood my post there would be no need to go back and forth.
"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). " Yet you respond " I have never met a dude who donates 25% of his hard earned cash to charity. "
I don't donate cash to charities. I help out people who, for whatever reason are in need. The reason is simple. Every non-profit organization uses some of the money for overhead, salaries, advertising, or political donations. If I wanted to pay people to decide which people deserve assistance, I'd start my own charity.
Someone's house burns down and they lose everything, I spend some money helping them recover. Someone has a legitimate need, if I can, I help.
You don't have to guess about what I do with my money. Although your guess is hilarious, since you label ISG as a "filthy sex mongering forum." There's some serious self-hate in that label. You obviously monger, but you consider mongering as filthy. Perhaps we've found the core of your anger.
If my posts are weird and they bother you, it appears the problem lies with you. You claim I'm here 24/7 writing dozens of posts, so I went and looked. That's part of the process of gaining knowledge. If you just blindly accept what you're told, you learn nothing and often end up looking like a fool.
Since I looked at my post history, it made sense to look at yours. At that point you only had 109 posts. It took 2 minutes to scan through and count how many were posted in this thread. Since you now post exclusively in this thread, you're making yourself look worse with every post.
Paulie has jumped in and attacked you many times? Go ask mommy to kiss it and make it better. Then, after you dry your tears, explain why you decided to include me in your response to Paulie. If you had left me out of your rant, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
With each of your posts, you make yourself look worse. You attack Paulie because, in your fantasy, he does nothing to help others. Then you attack me because I do too much to help others. Meanwhile, it appears you do nothing to help others.
Except for your job, the thing you get paid to do, which helps others. In other words, you won't help others, unless you are getting paid to do it. Every job that everyone does helps others. From ditch diggers to dishwashers, plumbers to physicians, every job helps others.
Speaking of your job, your health plan probably includes mental health screening. You might benefit from taking advantage of that particular benefit.

Unlike you, I have been in the Lion's den with Covid. I have seen people with oxygen saturations not compatible with life for long, huffing and puffing with Covid, and I have been exposed. But I have not let Covid slow my life down at all.
I am on the empty beaches, the half full flights, the discounted hotel rooms, and am banging all the hotties guys like you have left behind. When Colombia closed, I bagged Mexican babes. When Colombia opened back up, I was like a kid in a candy store.

The main one is people who were never tested.
As far as data collection goes, it has never been perfect and never will be. Yet, imperfect data is collected, analyzed and used daily. The pinnacle of your professional career depended entirely on imperfect data.
That's the inherent problem with any scientific endeavor. You do the best you can with the best data you can get. Then you work to improve your data and improve your understanding. This is the reason why the pinnacle of science is the Theory (as opposed to a theory, which people use any time they make a wild ass guess).
A Theory is the best explanation currently available, which accounts for all available data without contradiction. If there is a contradiction, the theory must be changed. When more and better data becomes available, the theory must be changed. It's a process of constant improvement.
Letting the virus run unchecked from the beginning, would have been the tough love approach, sink or swim. Technically, that's exactly what the US did for about 3 months. Would that have been more beneficial in the long run? Your guess is no better than mine. Rates of mutation are variable, however, more infections increases the probability of mutation. Unfortunately, mutation has no predetermined vector. A virus doesn't prefer to mutate towards higher infection rates and lower fatality rates. There is always the possibility of a variant with a much higher CFR. At what level do you decide that doing nothing doesn't work?
It's like this:
[URL]https://youtu.be/RYbyExBu1mk[/URL]
My casualty response philosophy was instilled in me in the Navy. Letting a fire burn itself out isn't an option when you're 400' below the surface. Taking the minimal approach also isn't a good idea. The only consistently effective solution is to throw everything you have at the problem.
Would that have worked? It seems to have been effective in several countries. Even if you don't completely extinguish the pandemic, you buy time to develop better protective measures, better treatment options and develop vaccines. All of that buys you more time, better treatment, improved acquired immunity, better vaccines.
However, Pandora has already done her thing and it can't be undone.

JustTK, I did not get what Weinstein and his cohost here were talking about insects when I listened to this podcast, and it is because they skipped a step. Weinstein was saying that there are waaay less insects than they were, and his cohost agreed with him, and I thought that was just some worthless anecdotal statement.
Maybe you have heard of CRISPR (Osteo probably thinks it is a way to make a better salad) but basically it is a way to do like a computer and cut, copy, and paste genetic material, and it too is cheap, very cheap in that world.
So here is an article on the use of CRISPR, and once I read it, I got what Weinstein was talking about: [URL]https://www.cnet.com/news/the-crispr-machines-that-can-wipe-out-entire-species/[/URL].
Applying the technique to a population of malaria-carrying mosquitoes? Well, that might change the world.
In September 2018, a research team at Imperial College, London, led by Andrea Crisanti and featuring pioneer Austin Burt, revealed it had generated a CRISPR gene drive that caused a total population collapse in lab-bred Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes.
The researchers targeted a gene known as doublesex, which acts like a gatekeeper that decides whether a mosquito becomes a male or a female. By altering this gene, the team was able to breed female mosquitoes that were infertile and had mouthparts that could not draw blood. In essence, they flipped a genetic switch that caused females to develop more like males.
As soon as I read this, I knew what Weinstein was referring to and maybe he could not just say what he meant. He was implying these scientific fuckers have already been doing it. They are fucking with insect populations right now, and I am not sure there is any way to catch them doing it.
Fauci is such an arrogant ass he turned back on gain of function research after being told not to and caused the whole fucking pandemic. The irony is how few people get it. The fucker should be in jail, yet so many people want to put a medal on him.
Weinstein's point is well taken. What now? We know these fuckers are so arrogant they think they can contain or control whatever mess they create, and Covid is and was proof that they cannot.
The other irony and this is the scary part Weinstein referred to: these scientists can control the narrative, and you can see how many people, even on here, have bought so much of the crap these "scientists" have been selling even to their personal detriment like Huacho.

Someone's house burns down and they lose everything, I spend some money helping them recover. Someone has a legitimate need, if I can, I help.
You don't have to guess about what I do with my money. Although your guess is hilarious, since you label ISG as a "filthy sex mongering forum." There's some serious self-hate in that label. You obviously monger, but you consider mongering as filthy. Perhaps we've found the core of your anger.
If my posts are weird and they bother you, it appears the problem lies with you. You claim I'm here 24/7 writing dozens of posts, so I went and looked. That's part of the process of gaining knowledge. If you just blindly accept what you're told, you learn nothing and often end up looking like a fool.
Since I looked at my post history, it made sense to look at yours. At that point you only had 109 posts. It took 2 minutes to scan through and count how many were posted in this thread. Since you now post exclusively in this thread, you're making yourself look worse with every post.
Paulie has jumped in and attacked you many times? Go ask mommy to kiss it and make it better. Then, after you dry your tears, explain why you decided to include me in your response to Paulie. If you had left me out of your rant, we wouldn't be having this discussion..[/QUOTE]You are weird. I am not saying weird is bad either, but you are a very weird man 100%. You walk around and just hand money out to random people. Its strange man. It seems like you need to buy love and friends with money. You seem pathetic and sad. I actually feel bad for you, I hope you buy yourself some comfort. Still weird, but I honestly feel sad and I ll back off the donating money thing out of pity for a poor old soul. I don't believe in kicking a man when he is down and you have obviously fallen very low to have to give money to strangers to feel some type of love or worth or whatever it is your handing money out to strangers for.
You donating money doesn't bother me, what bothers me is you attack others all the time and can't back up your attacks with facts or logic.
If you must know about me helping people. When I was in my twenties, I did a lot of work related to my career that I wasn't directly paid for. I have grown up since and my time is important to me and I do not work for free anymore. That doesn't make me a bad person, my work is quite valuable and few have the skill, credentials, physical strength, mental strength, or determination to work at my level. My compensation is very fair for the work I do. That is how a free market works. Most men would never have made it through what I have to perform the job that I do and I certainly don't do it for free anymore and will never again. If your a bump on a log and you have never dedicated yourself to a skill or craft, that's a waste of talent in my eyes. If all of society acted like that, it doesn't make for a very productive society, think Cuba or Venezuela.
Look, again I will state that I didn't mean to shatter the feelings of the snowflakes here when I said old people die. Look, its a shitty reality of life. We can't base national policy off saving cancer patients in their 70's and 80's. Its not logical. It is funny to me, that people are so biased they actually can't see that or they know it and are so devoted to their cause they won't admit it publicly or even on an anonymous forum.
Don't blame people for the virus. The virus was spreading no matter what. That's what viruses do. Outside of a total 3 month 100% lockdown, you were not stopping the virus. Biden wasn't stopping it and nether was Trump. Like I have said before, all you can do is let people live their lives, make vaccines available, make masks available, social distance, and other things to slow it down a little, but we can't control it. Had the vaccines actually been close to 90% effective, maybe we could have controlled, but I "think", my "opinion", we were all lied to.
When did I say the US is the only country in the world? But whatever you need to vent and make shit up about again because you can't muster a solid argument.
As for the economy, I live in the real world, interact and work in an urban environment everyday. Look, the poorest people in the country got hit fucking hard from this. They got poorer with out a doubt. Inflation didn't help ether. Crime is bad and people are desperate like I have never seen them. Doing desperate things to make ends meet. Its fucking sad man. Maybe the economy did grow, but I guarantee you the lower class are not better off than before the pandemic. 100% I guarantee that.
I am referring to shaming people who oppose vaccine mandates when we have close to a million cases of covid a day. Some countries want to mandate vaccines for truckers who work by themselves and there is a supply chain shortage. Yea those people need to chill and not shame someone who doesn't support mandates and just wants to work and feed his or her family.
One last final thing, you wrote absolutely nothing valid to any of my arguments. Again, you just look like a sad old soul LOL. It is what it is I guess.
