The Coronavirus, not the beer

Maybe some state or country could volunteer to be the "do nothing" guinea pig so we can see how that works out.

Alabama? What you waiting for?

proper trials take time...so I'm fine with "trying ****" in a pandemic...i will note that 98% of people recover and are fine...so a doctor who administered a placebo might be impressed by the results

Not really a covid story but I'll put it here:

TIERRA AMARILLA, N.M. — The Mesa Vista Lady Trojans had ridden their black-and-gold bus for nearly two hours, past snow-smudged hills and red-rock cliffs, to play their main rivals. Over 32 minutes of basketball, the girls had been outpassed and outrun and outscored by the Escalante Lobos. They lost by 40 points.

“We gotta get out of this funk,” Jesse Boies, a cross-country coach who had only recently become head of varsity girls’ basketball, told the teens gathered in a circle on a gym floor, some still catching their breath behind face masks. “We are good, ladies! This team right here is legit!”

It wasn’t just a pep talk: No one expected the team to do well this year; it hadn’t in years. But the Lady Trojans had roared into the season with seven straight wins. They won a local tournament in December. Now, with a record of 13-5, they were still contenders for the state playoffs.

Unmentioned this early February evening was the tragedy that had placed Boies before them — a covid-19 tsunami that was keeping them in online school, canceled recent games and, most devastating of all, had taken the lives of their beloved coaches just two months before.

Those men, the father-and-son duo of Leonard Torrez Jr., 37, and Leonard Torrez Sr., 58, were not just community fixtures known for their high basketball IQ. They were also the father and grandfather of two Lady Trojans. In mid-January, they died within hours of each other of complications from covid. During the Escalante game, their desk nameplates sat on two empty courtside seats.

Boies, the father of the starting point guard and best friend of head coach Torrez Jr., had not hesitated when Mesa Vista’s athletic director asked him to step in when the Torrezes fell ill. Now the job was permanent, and Boies’s goal was the same as theirs: Take an underdog team to the state tournament in March — maybe all the way.

From the non tyrannical aussie govt -

9. Use social media with caution. Be very
careful when using social media (even
on your personal pages), when
authoring papers or when appearing in
interviews. Health practitioners are
obliged to ensure their views are
consistent with public health
messaging. This is particularly relevant
in current times. Views expressed which
may be consistent with evidence-
based material may not necessarily be
consistent with public health
messaging.

You don't seem to be able to answer simple questions yourself

Ok I'll answer.

Taking four shots in 12 months is much more evidence that the shot doesn't work than that it does... Especially when it is useless at stopping from getting the underlying illness.

And you'll be getting the 5th when they tell you too bc you are a very good boy
 
No because I am a grown up and listen to my carefully chosen/trusted doctors and take the medicines they prescribe.
Because, I don't know better than them.
Only a fool thinks such a thing

In the case of transmitable diseases -- for both my sake and perhaps yours.
...

Fun fact ? Since Jan 2020, 1st shot and masking in crowds I don't trust, I hadn't so much as a sniffle.
Longest stretch of my life.
Could . be coincidence but fun fact none the less

A reminder (for the man with the tiny brain) that many maybe most medical interventions reduce the incidence and severity of diseases rather than stopping them completely.
