    LOL.... "mirroring my own calculations from other sources".

    Old people do die..... They also die the most from cancer and cardiovascular disease.

    I think I saw this posted here. Obviously bad paper but it still spread like wild-fire on Twitter and Substack. Now retracted.

    This Questionable Study Caught Fire in Anti-Vaccine Circles. How Did It Get Through Peer Review? (chronicle.com)

    It was an eye-popping figure: The number of deaths caused by Covid vaccines “may be as high as 278,000,” according to a study published in January.

    Right away, some readers noted seemingly disqualifying flaws in the methods used to produce the estimate, which included a survey funded by an anti-vaccine advocate. One medical expert called it “antivax propaganda disguised as a survey.” But their concerns were largely drowned out by Twitter and Substack accounts with collective followings in the millions, who cheered the finding. Steve Kirsch, a veteran tech entrepreneur who founded an anti-vaccine group, pointed out that the study had the ivory tower’s stamp of approval: It had been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and written by a professor at Michigan State University.

    After two months of going viral, the study is set to be retracted by BMC Infectious Diseases, the author and the journal told The Chronicle. Three years into a pandemic that has killed more than 6.8 million people, the episode is the latest illustration of the pressure on scholarly journals to vet Covid research that may be built on falsehoods — a high-stakes job that they routinely botch, observers say.

    “The maintenance of scientific integrity in journals — the correction and retraction process — is fundamentally ill-equipped to deal with the pandemic,” said Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz, an epidemiologist and Ph.D. student at the University of Wollongong, in Australia. Having dug into dozens of shoddy Covid studies, he called the soon-to-be-retracted paper “among the worst things I’ve ever seen published.”

    The most plausible explanation I've read and the one I am going to believe is that the Wuhan Virology Institute was experimenting on bats and did not properly dispose of the corpses which led to an unscrupulous merchant in the Wuhan wet market to collect said corpses and sell them for profit. And the rest is history.

    LMFAO Kansas has a senator named Doc Marshall? Oh and *checks wikipedia* surprise he's named Roger and he's a Trumpist Jan 6 insurrectionist piece of ****.

    Screw that guy - in a country with non broken institutions he wouldn't be in the Senate he'd just be a crazy ******* nobody pays attention to.

    Bob Dole probably gets too much credit but - man his dumps were probably worth more than Doc Marshall

    Well, you know, whether or not it was the right choice, good luck forcing teachers in there at gunpoint at the time, and forcing most parents to send their kids to school at that time, but yeah, let's play useless hypothetical games to keep beating old, dead grudge horses. LOL @ this ongoing thread.

    I wish we had one for legit research updates if and when they arrive, b/c SARS-CoV2 is fascinating enough and should be understood as thoroughly as possible for the next god-knows-what headed our way.

    Absolutely the right choice for anyone concerned for the safety of their children.

    I want to laugh but those old dead grudge horses will come back and bite us.

    Most Asian countries became smarter and better prepared for Sars2 after their trial run with Sars1. Collectively, I think we became stupider and will be as unprepared or even less prepared for the next new viral outbreak.

    Again among the many thing the PRC authorities did wrong was how the clean up of the Wuhan seafood market was done. Possible evidence tht might’ve supported the zoonotic basis of SARS-2 COVID 19 was lost.

    As is we might never know for sure the exact origins of the disease given. The ham
    Handedness and obfuscation by the PRC.
