So you don't understand statistical analysis either. Gotta better survey to show us? You don't think the AMA has a handle on what their membership thinks? Are the AMA owned by Pfizer?

Telling that this lame quibble is the only thing you have to respond with.

C'mon, show us the numbers behind all your earlier claims.

Is the AMA in bed with Big Pharma? I need to limit my screen time right now, I have real work to do. You tell me. Do some digging and see what you can find out. Let us know. I certainly will. We can have show and tell later. Until then.

The burden of proof, for any factual claim, is on the speaker/claimant, and you haven't provided any such proof, that the FDA is in bed with Pharma, nor what the recent resignations should indicate/suggest.

The resignations of Marion Gruber, director of vaccines research and review at the FDA, and Phillip Krause, the deputy director, were announced Aug. 31 in a company-wide email from Peter Marks, the agency's top vaccine regulator.
The email did not mention the reason why the pair is leaving. FDA spokesperson Alison Hunt didn't elaborate on the reason behind the resignations, either.

The two officials may have resigned, due to a disagreement over the push for booster shots, from the Biden administration, according to reporting from The New York Times, and Politico. But, of course they're MSM conspirators, so ...

Where is the debate? Where is the scientific discourse? It seems to be missing. Minds were made up to push an mRNA vaccine on 6 month old babies during the next pandemic. Straight out of Fauci's lips a few months before the Pandemic. It is on this CSpan video: [URL="https://www.c-span.org/video/?465845-1/universal-flu-vaccine"]https://www.c-span.org/video/?465845-1/universal-flu-vaccine [URL]

You guys ask for evidence. I provide it. Then you want argue about semantics and ignore or not view the evidence. I wasn't exactly claiming that FDA is in bed with pharma so much as I was offering to spell it out here as a reminder. The USA FDA revolving door is well known. Much the same as the EPA. Regulatory capture I believe it is called. First I will delve into the AMA but waiting for Lake to report his findings first (doubt that he will) while I study up on the subject. For Canadians you guys sure have a lot of trust in the American medical system. I know that you guys love your medical system but the problems with the American one are well known (even to Canadians).

If there can be no scientific discourse there is no science, just totalitarianism.
There are prominent respected doctors who would love to have the debate but we are told that they are crackpots and should not be listened to. They jailed Galileo for his discoveries. Dr. Peter McCullough is being stripped of a lot of the credentials behind his name but he is not being deterred. He says fact check him all you want he is ready to have a debate. But no one will debate him. They only want him silenced. He is the most published covid doctor that we have. He has (or had) prominent standing in the field of medicine. Why would he do this? What is his motive? What is your theory? Part of an evil plot to harm mankind? Sounds familiar. I don't think so. Here is his peer reviewed paper including his successful treatment protocol to which he later added ivermectin: https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002...673-2/fulltext
Early outpatient multidrug therapy is curing covid. The vaccines effectiveness wanes after six months and they don't prevent transmission nor provide lasting immunity. You will need to be reinjected every six months and each time the chance of injury is greater. Does that even sound like a vaccine. Look at the case rates in Israel. Heavily vaccinated, all Pfizer, extreme infection rate, some are on 4th booster. Wake up people!

Forget who you think is in bed with whom. The real-world evidence is already available in abundance. Over 400 million doses of vaccine have been administered in the US alone, a large percentage of them mRNA vaccines. Your hair-on-fire warnings have been totally wrong. We are waiting for you to make good on your promise to retract any false pronouncements. You have a lot of retraction to do.

The mRNA vaccines are very safe; virtually no one who has gotten them has had ill side effects.

The mRNA vaccines are quite effective; people who get them are far less likely to get COVID.

As I suspected, you didn't even read the link. It mentions that of that 4%, approx half stated that they intended to get vaccinated. You have no way of knowing why the remaining 2% haven't been vaccinated... medical issues perhaps? And in the US, approx 22% of the general population identify as anti-vax. Out of 100 American doctors, might there be one or two conspiracy nuts there too?

It's seldom a part of these conspiracy theories. That's a given.

I think this is called "walking it back". More of a headlong, desperate retreat, I think.

Do you have a family doctor? Do you trust him/her? yes or no. When they prescribe medicine or give advice, do you take it? yes or no.

I have no family doctor. I trust doctors for some things like emergency medicine. Xrays, MRI, ultrasounds, surgeries, broken bones, vision, dermatology, etc. There are many doctors who I think are scumbags. They take advantage of a patient's insurance or retirement money and recommend unnecessary or ineffective procedures for profit. If you are admitted into the hospital you need a very good advocate fighting for you. Medical mistakes are a major cause of death. Also doctors prescribing newer medicines for off label therapies and pushing new drug because they are influenced by pharma reps runs rampant. I wouldn't trust most doctors to stay on top of the latest research and studies either. Most doctors by far will just do what they are told by whatever organization they bow down to. I would trust more the opinion of those doctors citing safety concerns as a reason to not get the vax. Also, as doctors they may have lost patients to vax injuries or the technically unvaxxed because many die a covid labeled death after the first shot.

But the AMA is not the only body that had collected statistics regarding health worker vaccination rates. The following demonstrates that the more health education a person has, the more likely they will be to accept the science behind vaccination, and the more likely they will have gotten vaccinated. This is totally opposed to the "squat" that you've been preaching.

Disparities in COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Among Health Care Personnel Working in Long-Term Care Facilities, by Job Category, National Healthcare Safety Network — [CDC]
Long-Term Care Facilities
March 1–April 4, 2021
Health Profession / Percent Vaccinated
Aides 45.6
Ancillary services employees 58.5
Nurses 56.7
Therapists 69.2
Physicians and advanced practice providers 75.1

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note: Arkansas is a "RED" state
Data from Arkansas Department of Health shows vaccination rate among health care workers
August 13th 2021

The data shows that only 43 percent of dentists in the state are fully vaccinated. The next lowest vaccinated health care worker is nurses at 51 percent, pharmacists at 66 percent, and doctors having the highest rate at 70 percent.

Source: Arkansas Department of Health
Wow these rates are a lot lower than the AMA rates. So 25-30% of doctors aren't getting vaxxed? That says a lot right there. Went from 2% (AMA survey) to 25-30% (two other sources). So over one fourth of doctors are crackpot conspiracy theorists (or for some other reason decide not to get the jabs) Willing to bet that a lot of them had covid! Which gives them lasting and durable immunity far better than they would get from the jabs! These numbers are from July and August which means they don't intend to get it. You have to wonder what the nurses have witnessed to decline the jab. More of them probably had covid. None of the articles say anything at all about the covid survivors. Now they are out of work. That is the thanks they receive for putting their lives on the line to try to save covid patients. They should be commended.

You, also still haven't proven a thing nor even posted any kind of relevant evidence that I, nor the doctors, scientists and attorneys that I quote are wrong. Furthermore you just showed me that 25-30% of the doctors may be in my camp which is amazingly reassuring news considering the pull that pharma has on our doctors. Please post some more reassuring news soon. Don't keep posting your personal attacks and libelous remarks. You have crossed the line there. You trying to crash and burn the thread? The thread might go away, I might go away. The argument is here to stay, there are way smarter people than me to debate. The fact remains that you (obviously) are simply a hater.

As far as I know, Peter McCullough hasn’t been [yet] stripped of any credential.
He has been enjoined from publicising any affiliation with Baylor Medical Center.


About Peter A McCullough MD, MPH, FACC:
https://www.uscjournal.com/authors/peter-mccullough
https://www.heartplace.com/dr-peter-a-mccullough
https://www.acc.org/membership/perso...3-d37f83c8bd18

According to a legal filing [1], McCullough has conducted “dozens, if not hundreds, of interviews in print and video,” during some of which he is identified as a staff official at Baylor Medical Center, or its affiliated institutions, such as “vice chief of internal medicine” at Baylor.
[1] ➥ https://courtsportal.dallascounty.or...93BsZt7qA2?p=0

Misinformation and flat-out lies about the pandemic have been washing over us like a tsunami, thanks to the work of cynical politicians, uninformed celebrities and ignorant and irresponsible social-media “influencers.”

What’s most distressing is how some of the purveyors of anti-vaccine claptrap and hokum about supposed COVID treatments and cures have the initials M.D. after their names.

Recently [July 29, 2021] the FSMB noted that doctors “have an ethical and professional responsibility to practice medicine in the best interests of their patients and must share information that is factual, scientifically grounded and consensus-driven for the betterment of public health.”

FSMB: Spreading COVID-19 Vaccine Misinformation May Put Medical License at Risk
“The Federation of State Medical Boards’ Board of Directors released the following statement in response to a dramatic increase in the dissemination of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation and disinformation by physicians and other health care professionals on social media platforms, online and in the media:
“Physicians who generate and spread COVID-19 vaccine misinformation or disinformation are risking disciplinary action by state medical boards, including the suspension or revocation of their medical license ...”
https://www.fsmb.org/advocacy/news-r...cense-at-risk/
https://twitter.com/TheFSMB/status/1...645002/photo/1
https://www.fsmb.org/advocacy/covid-19/

Thus far, there appear to have been only two disciplinary actions taken against doctors, strictly for misinformation or disinformation, related to the pandemic.

Last December, the Oregon Medical Board issued an emergency suspension of the license of Steven LaTulippe after finding that he was seeing patients without wearing a mask, allowing his staff to interact with patients unmasked, and encouraging patients to doff their masks. Oregon law requires masks to be worn by healthcare workers in clinical settings.
https://omb.oregon.gov/Clients/ORMB/...4c3c203523.pdf

In January, a San Francisco doctor who had garnered notoriety for claiming that the pandemic was caused by the spread of 5G telecommunications technology voluntarily surrendered his license to the California Medical Board. Thomas Cowan, whose assertion was widely and conclusively debunked, already had said on his website that he would “re-emerge as an unlicensed ‘health coach’ or consultant.”
Cowan had been placed on five-year probation in 2017 for prescribing an unapproved drug for a breast cancer patient, and without conducting a physical examination of the patient or examining records of her prior treatment.

Re: Science & Technology News

Italian sailors knew of America 150 years before Christopher Columbus

New analysis [1], of ancient writings [2], suggests that sailors, from the Italian hometown of Christopher Columbus, knew of America, 150 years before its renowned 'discovery'.

Transcribing and detailing a, circa 1345, document by a Milanese friar, Galvaneus Flamma [2], Medieval Latin literature expert Professor Paolo Chiesa has made an "astonishing" discovery of an "exceptional" passage, referring to an area we know, today, as North America.[1]

According to Chiesa, the ancient essay, first discovered in 2013, suggests that sailors from Genoa were already aware of this land, recognizable as 'Markland'/ 'Marckalada', mentioned by some Icelandic sources, and identified by scholars, as part of the Atlantic coast of North America (usually assumed to be Labrador or Newfoundland).

Published in the peer-reviewed journal Terrae Incognitae [1], the discovery/findings add more fuel to the fire, for the continuing question of 'what, exactly, did Columbus expect to find when he set out across the ocean?'

In translating and analyzing the document, Professor Chiesa demonstrates how Genoa would have been a "gateway" for news, and how Galvaneus appears to hear, informally, of seafarers' rumors about lands to the extreme north-west, for eventual commercial benefit, as well as information about Greenland, which he details accurately (for knowledge of the time).

[1] “Marckalada: The First Mention of America in the Mediterranean Area (c. 1340)” ~ by Paolo Chiesa
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full...4.2021.1943792

[2] “Cronica universalis”, written in Latin, is still unpublished; however, an edition is planned, in the context of a scholarly and educational program promoted by the University of Milan.

Your inability to accurately process information is a major reason why your conclusions and recommendations are totally unreliable.


In this we can agree. I've lost family members to COVID, and others are facing months, if not years, of rehabilitation to recover from COVID. I am incensed that charlatan imbeciles like you have such a pernicious influence on our society. I'm also appalled and discouraged that so many people prefer to get their medical advice from loudmouth backwoods rednecks rather than subject-matter experts.
My condolences to you and yours on loss to the Wuhan Flu.

It's too bad that your kind compassion is undone, by your editorial misrepresentation.
