Remember? I responded with information from an Oxford epidemiologist as well as relevant comments and observations from other professionals, including...

Come on now:

The Study Wars began after you refused to read what I’d shared with you.

And I’m being derogatory.

Because I’m not the one advocating for restrictions and assumed obligations. I’m saying leave people alone because your claims are doubtful.

I had already linked you to several things that summarised and supported my view. You sulked and nagged me for direct links to research papers (in the...

Great. I’m totally happy to trawl through research papers every time you say something tendentious about them.

Are they? If these orders entail those things you say are “definitely effective” then why aren’t they associated with reduced mortality?

If you don’t get it, you don’t get it.

“Indeed I hold it is. I am right. I am right - I am right. I am right. And I am right. I am right, and I am right. I am right. Am I right? I am right....

Affect, effect. It wasn’t that you didn’t know the difference; it was that you wouldn’t accept there was a difference without every dictionary in the ...

“Haha! You are wrong because I am right!”

And here’s another more recent study in a reputable journal concluding lockdowns don’t work: https://academic.oup.com/cesifo/article/67/3/318/6199605 ...

Having taken a closer look, the first study (the link does actually work) was published in EClinicalMedicine. I looked them up and it’s a journal publ...

Of the first 10 only two lead to a blank page, but you can find them by Googling their titles. Of course. Not according to what I’ve shared. I will sa...

“Stochastic” is a term derived from a Greek word meaning... “guess”. Those links you’re sulkily refusing to look at are enough. But here’s an article ...

Powerful stuff.

Did they? Guesswork. And now you’re sulking.

Well it’s impossible to know, but I’d expect the same comments from someone wearing a smirk as they typed.

That isn’t an 8% increase in mortality. It’s just 8% of 60,000,000. This isn’t what I said. I’ve recognised at this point that you’re a sneak.

You missed out the link I assume you were supposed to include.

Source? From what I’ve seen the UK’s mortality rate has been within the normal range. Because it appears by not choosing you harm everyone for no bene...

Also, this is tendentious. Infection fatality rate much lower than case fatality rate. Infections and deaths inevitable and spread out.

I don’t share your confidence in yours. My opinions don’t contradict the experts, only some of them. I suspect this is because your position is too di...

I can accept that it protects those vulnerable to virus for a while. I don’t accept that it’s of overall benefit for others to roll the dice on the po...

The last three pages of this thread I think contain adequate reasons for doubting the official narrative. Temporary hospital crises no worse than what...

Have you accepted yet that you might be wrong? My compassion is for those who have lost their livelihoods, their lives or the lives of their children ...

This isn’t particularly alarming when you consider that worldwide about 60,000,000 people die each year. This virus principally affects those who are ...

I don’t know if this reference was arbitrary or meaningful. If the latter, I’m not American and I nevertheless still doubt the official narrative.

You don’t think a side has ever fought a battle that for the world would be better lost? In my view those disastrous consequences will be effected by ...

You’re only characterising it that way. For me what it comes down to is this: your house is not built on rock; accept that you might be wrong and leav...

Olivier “I tend to distrust collective wisdom too” 5.

It certainly is. Do lockdowns help in this regard? You can’t say. How many of those admissions are people with other health conditions who go on to te...

It’s also worth pointing out that infection numbers are a product how much testing you do. An alarming figure can be created out of thousands of peopl...

At a glance the studies you’ve shared are models/guesswork. Here are some actual observations: An interview with Sunetra Gupta where she speaks about ...

Can you prove the efficacy of lockdowns? If lockdowns aren’t necessary what happens to your view regarding the vaccine?

Since the arguments against much of what you say have already been summarised above I’ll just add: The histrionics surrounding and inspiring these mea...

He dies once every 125,000 years. He is hospitalised once every 3,086 years. He is posed a still unquantified risk by the vaccine. By declining it he ...

Not true. One example to show it: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-58330796.amp From the same calculator and inputs the 25 year old’s chance o...

https://www.qcovid.org/Calculation According to this calculator the risk that the 25 year old catches and dies from Covid within a 90 day period is 1 ...

It certainly has been that.

Thanks. The second one is what I’d already used to get the risk estimate for my example. My guess is that many people will be inclined to massively ov...

Verdict reached. You’ve been rebutted already and have expressed incredulity at the idea that your opposition simply disagree with you about the degre...

Let’s take the example of a 25 year old male with a healthy BMI and no health conditions. Would you be willing to give your own estimate of the risk s...

You said it was safe based on a claim some doctors had made. But on that basis I’m not willing to dismiss or downplay the accounts of injuries and dea...

“I tend to distrust collective wisdom too — .”

Does it decompose quickly in the body? Would that necessarily make it safer? Have you not essentially made an appeal to a scientific consensus here?

Then you may have just used that saying inappropriately.
