Hydroxychloroquine

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 00:04

*Study calculated that there was an 11% increase in mortality [when patients used] hydroxychloroquine*, the "cure" that the bullshitter recommended based on zero evidence.

Causality has not been established. It could be that the people who followed the bullshitter's advice were a priori less capable of resisting Covid-19.

Harvard sued

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 00:04

Some Jewish students at Harvard have sued the university for "tolerating" antisemitism.

The allegation could be true; antisemitism is found in many places, and it may have been manifested at Harvard. However, it could also be an instance of the frequent distortion which construes condemnation of Israel's actions as "antisemitic", and erroneously equating support for Palestinians rights with support for HAMAS.

There is also the question of whether respect for the constitutional rights of the accused students requires some of the toleration that the plaintiffs object to.

"Stay peaceful" tweet

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 00:04

During the Jan 6 insurrection, a tweet appeared on the wrecker's Ex-Twitter account saying "Stay peaceful." Turns out one of his staff sent that on his own initiative; the wrecker had nothing to do with it.

Nation for sale

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 00:04

*Rightwing Billionaires & [the wrecker] Want a Nation Where Everything is For Sale.* Where they will be allowed to disregard any law by paying a big enough bribe.

The wrecker and Europe

lundi 15 janvier 2024 à 00:04

In 2020, the wrecker (while still president) told EU leaders that the US would refuse to help defend Europe if it is attacked.

This is no surprise to me, since the only likely attacker is Russia, and the wrecker considers himself to be allied with Putin rather than with Europe.
