I mentioned I had a YouTube video where there was a picture of page after page, resumes of the doctors.

I went to the YouTube video, and it's gone! There is a notice that the video violated YouTube's terms of agreement.

Good job, YouTube. Bastards.

Give it a rest, Jon. It's not as important to me to "win" as it is to you, apparently.

You win. And I've got to get back to work.

I don't see why it's so hard to admit somebody's a nutter.

Like Jon said, I'm hydroxychloroquine agnostic, at least for now.

But to address your comment, if someone's a nutter on one thing, does that disqualify them on all things?

"I think the world is flat, but let me tell you about my theory on computer algorithms." The two are not mutually exclusive, are they?

[Doctor Phibes]

Yeah, and Hitler was a dog loving vegetarian. (I did it. I brought in Hitler!)

I'm completely agnostic on Hydro-thingie, too, but if I found out my GP believed in alien sperm and demon DNA, I'd change my GP.

This can be a fun game (and it even talks about dogs!): LBJ said that his dogs loved having their ears pulled - does that make his civil rights legislation invalid?

However, if my doc said those things, I'd probably switch as well.

If Hydro is effective, then we should definitely use it.

My question regarding that particular drug isn't whether it's effective, but why Donald Trump seems so keen on it. The other side have also politicised it shamelessly, but doesn't anybody find his enthusiasm just a tad suspicious?

OK, Jon. You're right. She is an evil witch, and the culture she might represent is backwards and should be eliminated.

Do you have a picture where she spouts this stuff, and all the other doctors, from MD PhD to the MD/attorney agree with her cultural background?

You are right. The Masters of the Universe need to cancel people based upon their desires to control the thinking of all the stupid, gullible people. Then, the world will be a better place.

Free speech? Fuggedaboutit...

I'm not actually defending YouTube's behaviour which I think is wrong, but clearly they do have the right to do this, just as we had the right to ban that loony toon conspiracy guy from posting here.

Of course, everybody knows the correct way to try and stifle messages we don't like is by taking out a lawsuit.

It's not what it's cracked up to be. You'll get used to it and you'll love the direction the country is heading. The current faux-revolution will soon be over.

And the real one starts?

Yes.

[jon-nyc]

It does disqualify them. However George could have phrased it differently, does that mean they’re wrong about everything else? And of course the answer to that is no.

[Doctor Phibes]

The point is not to say that Hydro is bad, but to question Trump's motives in promoting it so much, and also note that his choice of people to listen to isn't exactly top-notch.

It is possible for people to be right for the wrong reasons.

Why has Trump promoted it?

1. It may work. At least some of the time.
2. It's cheap as dirt.
3. Hope. When you're drowning, you don't bitch that you found a board that helps keep you afloat and not a life preserver. You're just glad you found a board.

In due course, there's more instability and institutional breakdown needed.

I agree with Jon. If I know somebody who is very smart about computers and they are telling me something about computers, I will listen, even if I know that they also believe that crop circles are from aliens.

BUT, if they are smart about computers, but believe that circuit boards are actually alien brains sent to earth and implanted in machines, I would probably not have faith in what they said about computers.

Same way with a doctor. If they have goofy thoughts in the area of expert, I would question that. Not so much if they have goofy thoughts on some area that is completely unrelated.

@Aqua-Letifer Funny meme!

But that's TRUE!
Look at Gates, look at Zuckerberg.
I rest my case.

Be afraid, be aware.

I see dead people.

@Rainman Too funny!!
