Why is it that people sneer at non-medical doctors? Far more fraud is committed by the bois with stethoscopes around their shoulders. People be falling for that bedside rizz and getting played like a fiddle.

Countless hours and public funds, wasted.
and also, you know, human lives.
The paper linking vaccines with autism was also retracted, and that didn't stop them.
Unfortunately... Isn't there a saying like "the amount of effort to refute bullshit is much large than the amount needed to produce it" or something? So sadly the HCQ thing is just going to stay there for now; the journal taking 4.5 years to retract it didn't help either
"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."
Andrew Wakefield has a lot to answer for.
"they're hiding the truth", that's what fuels conspiracy theories.
More proof that hydroxychloroquine is a miracle drug and the lizard people just don't want us to know about it.
Agree... So many people are so far gone from logic that anything and everything either proves them right or is a conspiracy. Guess free education is important in a society that wants to remain just this... A society of people living and functioning together. We are entering the "find out" phase
I mean, it is an awesome drug! I use it a lot. Even in covid suffers - when COVID activates an autoimmune disease.
Let’s do ivermectin next! I’ll go first: fantastic for endo and ectoparasites, and even a subset of folks with rosacea. Does jack all for Covid infections.
It's a miracle drug but only if you're a lizard person. You need that zeta reticulan biology for it to work.
The damage is done. The conspiracy nuts will just believe that the all mysterious “they” are trying to hide research.
I still don't get why the higher ups pushed this and Ivermectin so hard. Like, they clearly aren't anti big pharma, so it must be someone getting their beak wet. But who?
Hanlon's razor
If you remember the time, Trump was pushing for any narrative that could let him say COVID wasn't a big deal and would just disappear. He was looking for easy answers.
You want a conspiracy theory?
It was designed to make any criticism of big pharma look crazy.
Which it also didn't do. Nobody "trusts" "big Pharma". They trust doctors, scientists, and the regulatory bodies that oversee them.
It did what it needed to.
Now that the damage is done, they can pretend to have integrity again to convince people to believe them when they publish the next "miracle study".
lol, all you can do is laugh. crying, yelling, pleading, recitation of observable fact, nothing will move the needle for the morons who think that any solution which assists both white people and brown people equally must be evil to be defeated
nothing will move the needle for the morons
It's quite easy to move their needle, just have trump tell them something and they'll fight to the death to defend whatever dumb ass thing he told them.
Not really. Trump just adjusts his story when he notices it's not well received. He even started to promote getting vaccinated to keep his base from dieing, noticed the pushback and changed his message to anti-vax again.
He's the reason they were opposed to preventative measures in the first place. What a loser.
That's how he runs. It's like those people "summoning spirits" doing a cold reading, but in a much larger scale.
"I sense you are bothered by roads, airplanes, children, jobs"
"Yes, jobs. How did you know?"
"And it's all the fault of trees, donkeys, cars, doctors, immigrants."
"I really hate immigrants."
"so we'll build a bicycle, sidewalk, front door, barbed wire, a wall"
"Oh yes, we need a wall to keep them out. This guy is really telling it like it is."
When asked later why he suggested a bicycle, this is vehemently denied even when recordings are shown.
What are you even talking about? I can’t tell if you’re for or against the retraction of this obviously flawed study.
Pretty sure they are saying that vaccines are proven to help everyone, and that morons (RFK Jr, etc.) want to destroy them because vaccines helps black people.
I hope that is what they are saying.
Yes, the comment could use some light editing (and capitalization) but that's correct.
