JFC!

Could people please take their political shyte somewhere else once and for all!! This is a hockey thread to discuss hockey and light hearted things to get away from this bull shyte!! I wish I was a moderator cause I'd ban all this shyte!! Rant over....Thanks!!!

In talking with the mod yesterday, who was nice and kind enough, I learned that they simply do not have the time and resources to police everything. The person was also misinformed about vaccine misinformation policy in social media. Facebook, Twitter etc. banned this long ago, well before even the FDA authorizations.

Unfortunately, there has been a lot of evidence that people get their information from social media. Things said or left unchallenged, even in irrelevant sites, sway opinions.

It would be so easy to combat this, even with existing resources. Why not use it?

Jeez. Let's go Flyers?

All praise hockey jesus Cannaughton!

8. Ivermectin is a drug for animals with worms. It has nothing to do with Covid. It is laughably irrelevant. The reason it is not prescribed is for the same reason that the transistor (also a Nobel Prize winning invention) is not given to soldiers instead of guns.


- Lavenduh Panduh

Yep. It's in the heartworm preventative I give my dog every month.

I will admit, though, that she has not caught covid19 so....

thank you and cool, so it does appear the Flyers had a harder schedule and other MET teams still have the tougher part of their schedule left? Am I understanding that correctly?
- wcorvette

I think that the Flyers are done with the toughest part of their schedule and have an easier one going forward. All schedules are not created equal and some teams simply have mediocre throughout or easier in general. I can’t lump the rest of the Metro together.

Never, nor should it.
- THE BLACK HAND

Really.

So, if you teach a class, and there are students in the back who are asking question, after question, after question, and who give considerable evidence of not having done the readings, should be allowed to continue indefinitely?

Do you understand the damage that is done by such unlimited tolerance? When the Delta variant hit India, people who once worked distantly with Covid data (such as myself last year) were besieged with entreaties from people we barely knew. They came via phone calls, via texts, via emails.

The questions were the same: could we somehow, someway, manage to help them get a dose of vaccine shipped to them? The country was desperately short (it banned exports) and official chains were too slow. The man who ran the largest vaccine producing center in the world there had fled the country, he was too besieged by threats and requests from powerful people for personal supply.

In the middle of all this global scarcity, our country, which has a surplus of vaccines, should let vaccine doses get spoiled unused while we pend endless resources persuading and re-persuading people to do what there is now overwhelming, easily accessible evidence is good both for them and for society as a whole?

By the same token, I can then continue to post Covid stuff for the rest of today and tomorrow and the day after then? Because you know, I feel I have a need and a right.

3. Because they don't work.
4. Because the only effective treatment to that end has just been developed, and is not available yet. It will first go to those most in likely need.
5. I am happy to. There are many, many, many. Both in real life and in science.
Here is one from a couple of weeks ago.

6. I dunno where you are going with microns. The virus is very small, but is embedded in saliva/mucus/is-in-clusters which makes it much larger as a particle. That is why masks work. Some work better than others, now there is a lot of data about about which work to what extent. Just search.
7. There are always "studies" that can be quoted to justify one's own biases. At some point, one has to trust the process. The DOD and Pentagon has a strict mask policy from early 2020 spring, so obviously they don;t believe much of this "study" you refer.

my step mom is a doctor and said masks dont' work if you in an uncirculated room for more than 15 mins with a person that's infected. the only way it works is if you have an airtight to skin mask which 99% of people don't wear

It's pathetic that people who get banned can't stay away from the site for even a day.

Beyond pathetic, really.
- Tomahawk

Ha ha.

I am sympathetic to your pov. But I do have a question.

Why not offer to moderate the site? It is voluntary, so there are very few requirements or obligations.

It would mean you would actually have to spend your own resources in making the site what you want it to be.

Really.

Doesnt matter. I will never support silencing anybody's voice regardless if i agree, disagree or the validity of their opinion

At least a high pick, prospect, and roster player with a similar cap hit.

Prob a first, Zamula, and Sanheim as a starting point for discussion. Though I think they would ask for York.
- MBFlyerfan

Sanheim is an exact wash $$, so yes it would take him/ one of those prospects and a 2nd. So you end up with a top D set ( barring Ellis retiring from whatever and signing Risto to a new deal)
Ellis-Prov
Risto-Chychrun

The question is if Ellis is out a lot, can those 3 ride the minutes with either York/Zamula or veteran D in 4 th slot??

- 2Real

No one really knows.

Works/Don;t works is binary. You have to look at it in terms of probabilities. The real question is: do masks give you statistically more protection than complete non-masking?

If your stepmom says the two are equivalent, I respectfully suggest she is incorrect.

I said I will be out of here by noon, so take care.

- THE BLACK HAND

Oh yes you will: once you are informed/cognizant about the cost of allocating resources to endlessly entertaining questions, such as the time taken away from say, a teacher's limited mins to teach.

Ciao!

Lol everyone see the main article. Didn’t click but Evan set turning heads in the a h l.

Youre really comparing your classroom to a forum environment

3. Because they don't work.

Your the guy complaining about misinformation? I think you lost the ability to think independently as a man.
You are aware there are hundreds of drugs used off label everyday in this country right?

Monoclonal antibodies from what I’ve seen is the most effective treatment. My Uncle who cannot get one of the jabs thought that covid would be a death sentence.
Well his wife who works in a school who masks everywhere because her husband as sever health issues got Covid. He in turn got Covid. The doctor had him go to the hospital gave home monoclonal antibodies and some prose sent him home. He was pretty sick but recovered.
So you are saying doctors who in consultation with their patients cannot prescribe a drug if it is not expressly approved for an ailment?

What business is it of yours?

Cloth masks, those garbage blue ones gators etc DO NOT WORK! Do you want to know how I know? Because I know easily a dozen people who are mask diehards get Covid

Even KN95 masks should only be worn no more than four hours at a time per OSHA I remember the safety engineer video correctly.

So of course you throw out the you can always find a study to support any biases.
I’ll conveniently skip your link then.

Funny how Pfizer I think tried putting out the ivermectin knockoff I suspect out except not so great.

The reason ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine ( used as early treatments) don’t work is because they are cheap and pharma can’t make money off of them.

No one really knows.

statistically for the first 15 mins after that they're worthless
TRUST THE SCIENCE

Oh yes you will: once you are informed/cognizant about the cost of allocating resources to endlessly entertaining questions, such as the time taken away from say, a teacher's limited mins to teach.
