But the post you were responding to was just talking about who funds various research articles and that info is very easy to find. If you're too lazy to search for that then what's the point?

Generally the way it works around here is that if you make a claim, you substantiate it with links to the information you claim is legitimate.

I'm a special ed teacher in high school. I can't get any lower. Rock bottom and I are old friends.

I'm not interested in researching what you are suggesting. I suppose I just don't care enough. Could be laziness though. I try to avoid getting into these discussions, but couldn't help myself when someone posted "the CDC owns the vaccine." Or similar. If such a statement is made, it should be proved by the person who posted it. Burden of proof and all that. But, since this isn't a scientific journal forum, we aren't held to such standards.

I do appreciate that you didn't make it personal. It is easy to devolve into name calling. Glad you are above that.

I like the way people seem to believe both that scientists are incredibly powerful (”they're imbedding nanochips in vaccines to exert mind control over people!”) and completely incompetent (”vaccines don't work and they cause autism!”) at the same time.

Come on folks, which is it?

So are you saying scientists are all robots that think the same? They cane come to different conclusions using evidence?

Please post where anyone here said what you are saying because kt looks like you're making things up.

Hardly anybody thinks about both claims. This is some bizarre strawman you want to come up with because you blindly trust the news.

New U.S. Covid-19 cases at lowest levels since June (MSNBC)

Hurray... less (new) cases today vs before we had Covid spread, and before testing was even available to the USA populace

1) Of course testing & reporting was reduced in Apr 2021 as 'positives' were deemed counter-productive to the 'new' message.
2) It's now summer (very low Flu / Covid season) Have you had the flu in June in the last 50 yrs?, maybe once?
3) 100% of the vacinnated statistics are reflected NOW vs March 2020.

Winter is coming... 2022, 2024...

Of course it is usually summer in Texas, and W-i-d-e open spaces, so no need to expect Covid at all. Maybe for a few in Texas who have to daily ride a crowded subway train to mandatory work 100% with a high volume of daily customers in an enclosed space (as in most of Asia). Or those who must stand in a long crowded queue for groceries, food, bank, security check-points.

Texas 2,957,684 cases +2,417 yesterday (nearly double the next highest case state in USA) 51,798 DEAD

Doing 'average' for USA

Yes, 1,786 deaths / m = 1.786% (imagine that, math works!)
World average 476 deaths / m = 0.05% (Including the countries who really muffed it)
'Smart' and reactive countries w/ HC system (such as Japan) ~100 deaths / m = 0.01% (USA could have easily and expected to be in this group)
'Purposed' / controled countries (NZ, Singapore, Thailand, Chad!...) ~10 deaths / m = 0.001%

[KathrynAragon]

Oh brother, why can't you just BE HAPPY that both deaths AND cases are going down consistently, not just in Texas, but also throughout the US? Vaccinations and prior cases (which apparently give immunity to most people) are apparently playing a big role in the downward trajectory, thank goodness.

The 7 day rolling average of new cases in Texas per day has consistently dropped and is now at 1,067 per day. The 7 day rolling average of new deaths is thankfully at 33, which is where we were at the end of June 2020.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/

Unfortunately, 17 other countries, including some well to do and "advanced" countries such as the UK, Belgium, Italy, Brazil, Etc. have more deaths per million than the US, which is sad to me.

Well to be fair, the majority of the people that believe in either of those things are also probably religious...I would be more concerned if they didn't believe in those 2 things you listed while also being religious lol! Makes no sense!

3rd post from this thread:

Wrong prediction. I see "The Fear" had gripped you. R U standing by this?

It's so amusing AND enlightening to look back on these long threads in C-D and see the forecasts. I had totally avoided this thread for months but now its time to look back. What will be great would be for all these Doom is upon us types to come back and admit the error of their thoughts.

I'm going back to the thread start and go to the next fear monger.

I want this stupid pandemic to be over more than anyone but this such a fool’s decision that is going to cost more Texans their lives.

Page 2 post #11. Abbott was right and those calling him a fool are, well, foolish!

BTW, everyone that has had the malady OCVID-19 have a level of protection via t-cells. Thus the 94% would be wrong. But let's just state right here this is not a "vaccine" by definition. It is similar to the flu shot in that it won't keep one from getting the illness nor from spreading it. It is simply "supposed" to lessen the strain on hospitals by lessening symptom severity although there have been over 5,000 deaths post injection.

Let's also state that the fatality rate is 0.0173 among adults that contract the disease and way less amoung adolescents. I still can't understand parents that would inject their kids with an experimental substance that has unknown long-term consequences.

This exercise of going back and looking at these wild internet erroneous predictions, many politically motivated, is repetitive yet enlightening.
