Stephen Hawking: God didn't create universe
Brant Gaede replied to George H. Smith's topic in Science & Mathematics
Time is a measurement. --Brant -
While I meant the particular virus under discussion, I think your data are likely correct. If they are correct, however, they aren't very impressive. Vaccines against smallpox, rabies and polio are the gold standard. Those are not caused by viruses. A similar pattern is obtained with disease treatment. There are antibiotics for bacteria but not similar effective treatments for virus infections. My step-mother's life was saved in the late 1940s by "the miracle of penicillin." She had double lobar pneumonia. Doctors came to her hospital room to marvel at it. --Brant

The anti malaria med has been approved since the mid 1960s and is not toxic in low prescribed doses. The dose makes the poison. Concentrated mercury might be the most potent poison and water the least. A vaccine for a virus? Talk about silly. This crisis ends with the election. It will be followed by the post election crisis. Covid 19 is 95 percent political. --Brant

Throwing off the Deep State would be a real turning point, and it's not that simple. The key is the IRS and the DOJ. A lesser key is the DOD. --Brant

What turning points? --Brant 1776 and the constitutional convention are the only ones I know about; they were followed more or less by inevitabilities (re America)

A two hour video? Look, I suspect if white women were socially reduced to black women you could say the same thing, out of many things, about them. Up from slavery meant a different kind of slavery post 1865. This was shucked off in the 1960s only to be reimposed by "The Great Society" of Lyndon Johnson turning blacks into dependent welfare recipients along with poor whites destroying the natural family structure out of human biology. The man was functionally reduced to making babies, not supporting and raising his family. Now compare fucking time to working time when the man doesn't

Ellen Moore (RIP) always "seemed rational enough," but was, really, always irrational because that was out of her Rand ideational base which was in itself distorted. --Brant and quite the dogmatist we really do miss her she was smarter than what she ended up saying -
