The premise of this episode irritates a bit. Now perhaps that's unfair because there's always an element of "given such-and-such a sitution - just run with it - let's explore it and see where it takes us" about this type of story, but the idea of a simulated war like this - as soon as one side is l...

So, fella shot protesters, claimed self-defense, and fella somehow won? Great, that's what I was confused on. A more contextual play by play: Emotionally disturbed "protester"* starts dumpster fire. Fella helps put out dumpster fire. Emotionally disturbed "protester" chases fella (while screaming r...

The judge was blatantly acting as part of the defense and kept the jury from seeing most of the significant evidence. The trial was a complete sham.

Vaccines on the other hand are really rather effective to the tune of 90's %'ile. Contracting the virus might be something closer to 80-...

So what's wrong again with saying that masks are 80% effective? Please read the article, but, in short, there is no support for saying that masks reduce infection rates by 80%. The study where the 80% number seems to come from was measuring the effectiveness masks in reducing aerosol droplets, and ...

I did not "lose" the paragraph. I just thought it was more important to the point that the mask study was measuring something quite different than what Walensky in the CDC suggested it was. I mean I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but if you want to just openly admit to dishonestly cherry ...

That is the implication of a new public service announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) featuring Rochelle Walensky, the agency's director. "The evidence is clear," Walensky says in the 3...
