  1. Congrats “scientist”. Used two logical fallacies in one sentence: appeal to (false) authority and ad hominem.
  2. You’re fos. Refute the data “scientist”. It seems more likely you’re unemployed given your posting endlessly and at all hours.
  3. Here's AiI's explanation: Factors Contributing to the Decrease in COVID-19 Death Rate in 2022 Vaccination and Immunity Widespread vaccination efforts increased immunity in the population. Vaccines became more effective at preventing severe illness and death. Improved Treatments Advances in treatment protocols for COVID-19 helped reduce mortality rates. Healthcare providers gained better understanding and management of the disease. Public Health Measures Continued implementation of public health measures, such as mask-wearing and social distancing, contributed to lower transmission rates. Increased awareness and adherence to preventive measures among the public. Demographic Changes The age-adjusted death rate showed significant declines, particularly among younger populations. Most deaths continued to occur in older adults, but the overall impact on mortality rates was lessened due to increased protection in vulnerable groups. Statistical Trends COVID-19 was the underlying cause in approximately 244,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2022, a significant drop from previous years. The age-adjusted death rate declined by 47% compared to 2021, indicating a substantial improvement in outcomes.
  4. t the height of the pandemic, there was a 10 fold decrease in the death rate for all vaxxed Americans. There was still multiple factor decrease in deaths for al age groups. It was prevalent infection unlike say, tetanus ewhich we also vax against because tetanus also kills people but at a much lower rate. Herd immunity is still a proven infectious disease core principle. The fact that you are most concerned with your age group and younger confirms my suspicions of your selfishness on this issue. Do you have living parents or grandparents? Do you care about them? The death rate went down for everyone in 2022, very likely due to the vaccine and resistance to the virus from it. The untaxed continued to have death rates much higher than the vaxxed even after 2022 and the same continues today. Explain your reasoning and conclusion here: I appreciate you though showing me the crashing number for those unvaccinated showing that for most people it was not what saved them.
  5. anti fascist does not mean pro antifa. anti vax means anti vax... put your age group in this graphic, then put in mine. even if your less than 30, the vax decreased your groups death rate significantly. Mine much, much more and for all Americans it resulted in huge declines. But it didn't suit you, so... https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-covid-19-deaths-by-vaccination-status data fron CDC.
  6. the difference is that I'm anti only one of these things: fascism. Which every American should be. ICE is fine except for wearing masks and illegally deporting people without due process. So I'm against anti American values and actions. The vaccines prevented even more massive death and suffering. The promoted American values like compassion and looking out for your countrymen. You're against ithem because they symbolize a pandemic that set your life back. Your beef should be with the virus. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-covid-19-deaths-by-vaccination-status
  7. It's estimated that Fred Trump give donald $400 mil. at 5% with minimal risk over 60 years, he'd have $7.5 billion. Anyone could reproduce these results given the starting inheritance. https://www.calculator.net/investment-calculator.html?ctype=endamount&ctargetamountv=1%2C000%2C000&cstartingprinciplev=400%2C000%2C000&cyearsv=60&cinterestratev=5&ccompound=annually&ccontributeamountv=0&cadditionat1=end&ciadditionat1=monthly&printit=0&x=Calculate#calresult
  8. i million Americans died. The only effort that would have significantly reduced that number was mandatory vaccination or at least better adherence. Kids can catch up especially the bright ones. They'll still be brilliant Stanford and MIT engineering etc grads out of the covid crop of kids
  9. I do both. "mad money" for the individual stocks. More like bringing $20 to the horse track expecting to lose and vowing not to bet after it's gone. I don't like the volatility of single stocks but it can be entertaining. LLY tripled for me but now is down to double because the trial on their weight loss glp 1 pill didn't have as stellar results as expected. people who got in late are now in the L column. All it takes is a small blip. Or a change in sentiment. A less effective pill over a shot could still be a big winner. I tripled on TLRY based completely on investor euphoria. Went to 40 and now is back down to single digits after people realized it was massively overvalued. Timing is difficult. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
  10. seeing it much more clearly now. the anger about covid is economic and not about science or medicine. what's 1 million deaths when gen z will be negatively impacted? those refrigerated trailer truck morgues weren't real and even if they were, they were full of old people. trump's immorality is spreading like the virus itself.
  11. good for you. tomorrow is another day. I'll stick with conservative stuff especially in retirement. to each his own....
  12. Again, I hope you timed it right. The stock topped out at 42 in 2021, 38 now. compare this to the steady rise of a SPDR over this time period. no timing needed, much lower risk. To each his own... https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SPY/
  13. Beautifully written story and analogy. But what is the maximum number of tacos needed to justify the parking lot improvement? That's what the beane counters are analyzing. between 11mil and 15 mil is a lot of tacos.
  14. We have a new hard rock casino nearby. Went to dinner there and they had a Morton' like place which was ok but pricey. Rooms were uber bucks and the place felt creepy. Lots of people losing money and feeling it. I'd pick another place for dinner next time.
  15. yup. and it's bad for democracy. it marginalizes voters. bad enough you can win the presidency with less than a majority, but this cancels people. Yes, both sides do it. But this has gone nuclear. And it's very bad.
  16. This. The average career of an NFL RB is the lowest of the positions: About 3 years. He's 26 in Sept. There are not many 30 yo RB's much less elite ones at that stage of their career. Gotta imagine they factor all of this in when evaluating player value It would seem "older" rb's would be a risky bet.
  17. 1st year stats for Cook and Davis are almost the same. Can Ray improve as quickly as Cook? On this team, why not? Let Cook sit or come back without an attitude. His first year attitude was not impressive. struck me as kinda dumb. His agent and brother will ultimately decide.
  18. I agree. The Bills hold the cards. He loses $5 mil if no deal and he sits. In that case, the Bills gain cash and cap space. From a biz prospective, he's losing. The bills are losing less. A trade would need to be very favorable for the bills to bite imo.
  19. ih they don't agree on a contract and he refuses to play, does he get paid? does his current salary get removed from the cap?
  20. I'm obsessed with this stuff
  21. He’ll pardon the sex trafficking pedophile. And she won’t say a word about him.
