Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

When I was working I suppose I had the choice to smoke/use tobacco or not smoke/use tobacco. If I chose to not use them I was given a "discount/rebate" on my healthcare. Employers can play some wicked games with benefits when they want to. I almost feel somewhat slimy like Hog in my defense of employers.

I was curious cuz of earlier convos....i guess it all come to where you fall on the political scale...i find libertarians don't want coercion of buisness to protect individual rights, but some here want employers to have unlimited powers even after we have seen coercion from buisness trampling individual rights..all very interesting

I have a distinct hatred of large corporations after having worked for one for over 35 years. They are blood sucking vampires that will destroy an entire community if they can pocket some coin for the brass and stockholders. Trust me, I hate how a lot of businesses are run, and generally it's only to shaft the people that make it run in order to enrich a few. I also understand the economics of corporations and money has to be made for the business to survive at the local level. Healthcare is one large expense and it makes decisions.

My favorite big pharma company is Umbrella Corp out of Racoon City

So pregnancy is a high risk medical condition... Hrm...

If you listen to the pro-abortion side you would get that impression. They always use "health of the mother" as one of the reasons to need an abortion.

Virus can mutate due to vaccines...according to an infectious disease expert.

Why Viruses Mutate, Explained by an Infectious Disease Expert

Find me an article written before March 2020. It would be removed of any bias.

I don't think you quite understand what you shared.

I think that article focuses on its safety this one explains its antiviral and ability to halt viral replication.

Just had a wild thought... I wonder if this administration would go so far as to ban Ivermectin or make it a controlled substance in an effort to discourage it from being used as a remedy for COVID?

Mostly vaccinated...

Sources: NFL has 37 positive COVID tests Mon.

Harden, Brown enter protocols; Nets' list now at 7

 

[NurseGoodVol]

For parasites.

You are ignoring black box uses for a safe drug?

Yes they would. The whole message has been vaccines as our savior from the beginning. They won’t relent.

Oy, this episode just triggered me with three simple letters:

IRB.

If you know, you know.

Is he on one?

 

[AshG]

Is he on one?

No, he mentioned dealing with them as part of the interview. Every researcher's nightmare. A very necessary part of the process.

Over 75 NFL players positive for Covid , and yet 95+% of players are vaccinated.

They are now saying the league is going to be pushing to get everyone on the boosters...

 

[DancingOutlaw]

I saw where there has been ~16M cases in the US in 2021 and we’re around 50M total. The CDC still maintains 4x as many cases are occurring as are being reported. So 200M cases + 200M fully vaxxed= Omicron will kill us all.

Since the first two obviously worked so well. Makes sense.

As with anything else, they are human and make mistakes too. Humans on committees also have agendas.

Like keeping PhD candidates around another semester. I'm just glad one of my dissertation committee was good friends with the irb chair and got my approval through in less than two months.

At some point, are professional athletes going to ask why they are doing all this crap when none of them are actually having problems due to CV?

try being dealing with an IRB set up for a medical school - it's not like I'm injecting people with a survey but it was sure treated that way. To make matters worse we got slapped down for IRB laxness in the past so they naturally went full Soup Nazi.

I have no idea what an IRB is, but it doesn’t sound fun. Does it require a latex glove?

Actually, I don’t want to know. Let’s leave the IRB a secret amongst you smart fellers.

Institutional Review Board - they "ensure" that research doesn't violate the rights of human subjects (or other ethical standards).

The HR of research studies. Default position is "No" or "you can't do that"

The Milgram Study of Obedience is often referenced as the reason for having IRBs

Ah…interesting. I bet most of them also sit on their HOA boards.

It may as well have. I was only doing interviews, no experimentation, and had to go through mounds of paperwork explaining how I was making sure I wouldn't inflict harm on my subjects.
