i have a buttload of friends in the military and specifically the national guard. Things are moving fast. Real fast. They are flying shit across the nation real quick.
The only thing we're falling behind in are trucks. Transportation but we're flying shit across the country so rapidly it's amazing. Like things that would take 12-24 hours will now take hours. It's amazing and my cousins and friends are pumped. By the time you wake up tomorrow. Our nation will have set up thousands of testing sites across the nation on top of what they have already and be prepared to test their entire town throughout the months.
haha they fucked up early and now they are going hammmmmmmmmmmmmm
lol it changed real quick.

you've just been so brainwashed by the Shapiro school of thought, aka "when in doubt ask for a peer reviewed source", that you're using it to challenge common sense.

you're asking to be shown a study on a topic that's 1) common sense, 2) demonizes the industry that would fund the study.

"it's a problem once it affects white america" is a commonplace idea for a reason. if you need a study on why that's accurate and that's literally all you have is "i need a study", then you're just gonna get mocked.

please find me a study that shows pharma don't play favorites with white people problems. please show me a study on the HIV research history and how it was always done at the same pace before and after it spread outside of the gay community. please show me a study on how pharma have neglected to price gouge life saving medicines.

see anyone with a 50 iq can ask for studies, but it takes at least a 65 iq to have common sense, i guess.


He might be just trolling, but this is how right-wingers think, even the ones with above-average intelligence. They're skeptical to a paranoid degree of any expertise that conflicts with their pre-conceived worldview.

Face it. If they didn't support Democrats, they would still be alive today.

Weird to want a "study" on that. Not sure which journals accept archival "studies", considering it's just history.

We really started to see HIV ramp up in the US starting in 1981, and Reagan didn't publicly say the word "AIDS" until 1985, and didn't give a speech on it until 1987.

Reagan's Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, even shared that he was prevented by the administration from addressing the AIDS crisis in the early years of the administration. He wasn't authorized to release a Surgeon General's Report on AIDS until 1986, and had been excluded from the Executive Task Force on AIDS for the first 2 years after it was created.

Much of what one would find online would also include the recording between reporter Lester Kinsolving and Deputy Press Secretary Larry Speakes:

No, I know. My commenting on the weirdness of wanting a "study" wasn't directed towards you.

My original comment was meant from a point of solidarity. Very much like a "Man, that dude really asking for a 'study'"?

I didn't phrase it the best way to convey that though.

this is interesting and somewhat informative when it comes to comparing developments in more or less free democracies.

when it comes to china, however, we simply can't rely on the accuracy of their reported numbers. i would say it's reasonable to assume they are way off. they have been incredibly dishonest from the very start of this pandemic, and have every motivation to keep lying.
what we do have are several indicators (like insider reports / discrepancy between reported deaths and urns...) - admittedly all anecdotal evidence that doesn't really allow us to make any correct estimates - that strongly suggest the actual numbers are significantly higher.
