The medical fields are more nearly unionized and therefore don’t have the h1b/scab labor used as a lever to erode their job (career?) security problem to quite the same extent. Tech workers are too important for our national competitiveness to be allowed that same level of job security.
“half of the patients who are treated with cholesterol-lowering drugs stop taking them within a year”
Wow, that’s extremely counterintuitive based on everything I’ve heard from actual doctors (as opposed to influencers) about how great statins are and how rarely they result in real side effects (as opposed to nocebo effects).
No. They lied, well one person specifically who I’ll refrain from naming because he is a lightening rod for controversy, lied by implying that herd immunity was possible and that it was the goal. It was the precise reason I took the vaccine and the precise reason I tried hard to convince many younger low risk friends to take “the” vaccine. It was 100% a lie, and that’s a matter of record.
Saying something you believe to be true isn't a lie, even if more information later makes you change your mind. You are expecting a level of perfection that just doesn't exist.
I believe Fauci knew enough to know that herd immunity wasn’t a real probability when he was on the news talking it up as the way we “return to normalcy”. Will there ever be a public trial to disprove my belief and vindicate what seem like glaring mistakes as honest scientific naivety rather than misguided public health messaging strategy? Maybe. But it seems few are interested in the actual historical facts and would rather let sleeping dogs lie, bygones be bygones, since it’s all water under the bridge anyway and we have new things to fear like book banning and transgender athletes and Tucker platforming people who think Macron’s wife’s a dude. I’m inclined instead to believe knowledge is power, history repeats itself and governments should be transparent and accountable, even if it means putting our kings on trial.
You first say that 1) NAC, 2) "causes cancer", 3) "in humans".
You then back that up with a study doesn't provide evidence for all three claims. The study is about mice that are genetically altered to develop lung tumors after virus inhalation. The study doesn't indicate that cancer is caused, but that tumors develop faster. The study is not about NAC, but about supplementation of both NAC and Vitamin E.
The study is also unclear about how much NAC and Vitamin E the mice were fed through water and chow, but they seem to have been fed quite large dose. If I do some napkin calculations based on average eating, drinking and mouse weight, it would be 133 mg of NAC per kg of body weight. While a normal dose of NAC for a human would be 600 to 1800 mg per day, which for a 65 kg human comes down to 28 mg per kg of body weight.
It's a relevant study, but a far cry from your initial statement. Your initial statement was also very short, low-effort and required clarification from someone else.
You probably also would argue smoking cigarettes doesn’t cause cancer? Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Edit: to connect the dots:
How mice studies are used
Experiments on mice have helped scientists understand how the carcinogens in cigarette smoke damage DNA and cause cancer, which complements epidemiological data from human studies.
These animal studies have been crucial in establishing the link between smoking and cancer since at least the 1950s.
No, I merely called you out on the enormous discrepancy between your first (false, unproven) statement and your second statement, and did some work clarifying the details where you only made lazy statements.
You could have said that there's limited evidence from a single mouse study that suggests that NAC might promote tumor growth in humans as well. That's fair. But you didn't. You (falsely) stated that "NAC causes cancer in humans".
TP-link are definitely the worst of the worst. My cousin insisted they were fine as long as you kept the firmware updated, but then he lost all his bitcoins to hackers. TP-link, never again.
Didn’t know that. The French also make consommé which is a very luxurious, very clear beef broth. I prefer Bun Bo Hu, but it’s not as easy to find good examples, even in my area.
