This is what I mean about your side.This is what I mean about your side, divert , attack the source, format or person yet usually lack anything to back this up.
I.e. You said substack is for junk science and I said some of the best scientists in the world all run pages on there and do you have anything to back this up. Your answer.... divert
I supply plenty of studies etc between blogs from people educated enough to give an informed opinion on the subject.
Why the fuck does COVID-19 even have a side, hm?
Who do you think is responsible for politicizing this in the first place? I don't have any political stake in measures taken or not taken to combat the spread of the virus. I think everyone who does is a fucking idiot, and it's got nothing to do with which side they belong to.
The fact that you assume I do says everything I need to know about the value of your contributions on this topic. Your personal attacks on me notwithstanding, let's see the data and scientific backing for whatever claim you're making this time. That's all I ever ask regarding claims of a medical nature. Anecdotes are truly worthless for settling the validity of such claims. They can suggest, lead toward a direction of inquiry, and the like, but that's all. My buddy who was told by his doctor about this and that is not science. Some youtube rando with his own website is not science. All I ever see when these youtube videos and the like are posted is people trying to monetize bullshit and I'm not helping make them money by giving them clicks. The fact they're saying it out loud rather than writing it and posting here on this forum doesn't make it more accurate information. If what they're saying has scientific validity post the original source of the data and I will look at it. No more, no less.
Regarding the part of our exchange where you said "and I said some of the best scientists in the world all run pages on there and do you have anything to back this up..."
You said,
"You're definitely on a spectrum, that dig was for you to actually supply something and this was you supplying something to substantiate your statement?
Lol substack is misinformation, sure, everything is potentially. Its strange that so many top experts in their fields use the platform.
As I said, intellectual dishonest"
And I said,
"I'm not making the claims on page after page ITT. You are. So how about no youtube randos or other useless as fuck anecdotes; let's see evidence ITT backing up all this CT bullshit for a change, do you mind?
Else, I repeat yet again, you can assert something with no evidence I likewise dismiss it without evidence. Happy Monday."
Read it again and think about it for a minute, then tell me who is dishonest. Wait, no, I don't have time for that. I will explain.
1. I responded to your lame insult in a direct manner. It's not for me to substantiate your claims with evidence; that's on you. As far as I'm concerned, that's the end of the discussion until you do; but you keep inserting strawmen and irrelevancies into the exchange to keep it going for some dumb reason I can't understand.
Quit shilling for people monetizing what should be freely available information; post the original source data, and then we can have a reasonable discussion about what we and others think it means.
2. The second paragraph is pure sophistry. If you really need why that is so explained to you, we can start with some good doesn't mean there is no bad. But it's also irrelevant. I called it "misinformation made easy". If you want to have another go at finding an inaccuracy in that self-evident description, be my guest.
3. That you constantly resort to insults, dodges, and logical fallacies, as cover for the lack of basic sources of data to support your claims is what is intellectually dishonest. I have explained this to you multiple times yet we always wind up right back here.
One last time, say it with me,
THAT WHICH CAN BE ASSERTED WITHOUT EVIDENCE CAN BE DISMISSED WITHOUT EVIDENCE.
I will not give youtube randos any fucking clicks.
Edit:
tl;dr
Politicizing COVID is dumb so attributing anything I say to "my side" is also dumb. Calling others intellectually dishonest while resorting to sophistry and unsubstantiated claims to score COVID CT points is equally dumb.
The end.
