    I finally discovered where that idiotic rumor came from. Air Force One has been greatly delayed from Boeing because DEI really screwed up their quality.

    So while Trump was in the UAE, they offered to give him a private jet which was worth $400 million. Of course he turned it down because the present Air Force One is far more secure in any case.

    But the left wingers have been screaming that Trump took a $400 Million bribe, which he didn't. It must be fun to be able to invent any reality you want.

    The current planes (primary Air Force One are pairs, so one

    any airplane with POTUS in it uses AF1 as their call sign.)
    are the only two examples of that model still flying in USA.
    At 35 years old, they are at the end of their useful life
    and so new planes were ordered in 2018 for 2024 delivery.

    The planes are not yet built and the delivery is now

    Mr Trump is in Qatar, not UAE. The scheming traitorous
    Qataris offered a jet for his use. Many people, I among
    them, think that's batshit crazy in general, and in
    particular for anything from Qatar. The bastards gave
    shelter to Kalid Sheikh Mohammad after he bombed the World
    Trade Center in 1993, provide residences for Hamas' upper

    murderers including top Al Quaeda directors. The list is long:

    What really surprise me about the whole affair is that anyone is
    entertaining the idea that the Qatari jet could be reasonably converted
    to an AF1. Aside from have a base of a 747, there are few similarities.
    The Qatari jet would have to be gutted to the superstructure so that it
    could be fitted with different wiring, hydraulics, fuel lines, air frame reinforcement members, and armor plating. It needs larger fuel tanks
    that are reinforced to sustain damage. All the extra weight of the reinforcement, electronic countermeasure equipment, and larger fuel
    tanks require larger engines, not to mention it needs engines with
    enough thrust to do very short take offs.

    Essentially, its a completely different aircraft. it's actually cheaper
    and easier to build an AF1 from the ground up than it would be to start
    from a completely assembled 747.

    I'm absolutely no fan of trump, but POTUS needs to have a plane that's
    been designed with purpose, not retrofitted like some dodge conversion van.

    Is is necessary to "turn down" a proferred bribe?

    It's not a bribe, not unless you keep it.

    //
    Saudi King Abdullah gave Mr Obama, his wife and daughters nearly
    $190,000 in luxury baubles in 2009, including the single most valuable
    gift reported to have been given to U.S. officials that year: a ruby
    and diamond jewelry set, including earrings, a ring, a bracelet and
    necklace, for the First Lady worth $132,000.

    However, Mrs Obama is unlikely to be pictured wearing the jewels, as
    by law gifts to U.S. officials must be turned over to the Government -
    the jewellery already has been sent to the National Archives.

    Mr Trump never said any such thing about bleach, not even remotely or obliquely.

    Actually he did, at a press conference on April 23 2020, after a
    presentation which showed that UV light and bleach were effective at
    killing the virus.

    "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute.
    One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by
    injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the
    lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be
    interesting to check that.”

    At least in the understanding of the medical community at large, that
    was far enough past oblique and/or remote that they immediately issued
    press releases telling people not to drink or inject bleach.

    So while Trump was in the UAE, they offered to give him a private jet
    which was worth $400 million. Of course he turned it down because the
    present Air Force One is far more secure in any case.

    But the left wingers have been screaming that Trump took a $400
    Million bribe, which he didn't. It must be fun to be able to invent
    any reality you want.

    The current planes (primary Air Force One are pairs, so one can be in

    What really surprise me about the whole affair is that anyone is
    entertaining the idea that the Qatari jet could be reasonably converted
    to an AF1. Aside from have a base of a 747, there are few similarities.
    The Qatari jet would have to be gutted to the superstructure so that it
    could be fitted with different wiring, hydraulics, fuel lines, air frame
    reinforcement members, and armor plating. It needs larger fuel tanks
    that are reinforced to sustain damage. All the extra weight of the
    reinforcement, electronic countermeasure equipment, and larger fuel
    tanks require larger engines, not to mention it needs engines with
    enough thrust to do very short take offs.

    Essentially, its a completely different aircraft. it's actually cheaper
    and easier to build an AF1 from the ground up than it would be to start
    from a completely assembled 747.

    I'm absolutely no fan of trump, but POTUS needs to have a plane that's
    been designed with purpose, not retrofitted like some dodge conversion van. >>

    Mr Trump has not turned it down as of this morning.

    And he wont. He'll get a free plane for personal use after his
    presidency, emollients clause be damned and this spineless DOJ and
    congress won't do a fucking thing to stop him. It's already allegedly at
    an Airfield in San Antonio:

    You might make a habit of reading a couple pf newspapers every morning,
    which would easily keep you abreast of national and world issues.

    Oh, c'mon Andrew. Tommys imagination is _much_ more entertaining.


    p.s. Anyone on any day can do something stupid:

    Flunky doesn't read newspapers, he tunes in to CNN and believes everything they say.

    Except that I can't remember the last time I tuned into CNN

    That's why he is the very definition of "loser".

    Hmmm....like someone who brags about is million dollar investment
    ballooning into a million dollars over 5 years?

    Hey Flunky, tell us again that you've done 600 miles this year at an average of 20 mph.

    Why would I do that? According to https://www.strava.com/athletes/16053273

    Activities 35
    Distance 715.8 mi
    Elev Gain 39,266 ft
    Time 39h 48m

    gives about 17.9. Sure, most of that is virtual (typical for this time
    of year) but comports with my last two (successful) commutes:

    https://www.strava.com/activities/14256779418
    shows 18.6

    https://www.strava.com/activities/14261577903
    shows 18.7

    Is it really that painful being such a loser?

    I wouldn't know personally, but based on how much of a cranky angry old
    bitch you are, it must be pretty bad.

    Yes I heard that live, one of many daily presentations
    during the hysteria. Thank you for an accurate transcript.

    His questions (typical of Mr Trump's style on any topic) "Is
    it feasible? Can we learn more?" etc are not exhortations
    nor commands and there's absolutely no mention of bleach.
    Moreover, as you note, his questions were directly in
    response to the presentation on then-current understanding
    of antiviral techniques.

    That 'inject bleach' trope started later when he was mocked,
    as usual, by comedian John Oliver, with typical insulting
    hyperbole, and invention. Irresponsible repetition of the
    falsehoods has made the lie real to some people, perhaps
    even you:

    https://www.whqr.org/2024-04-03/fact-check-did-trump-once-tell-americans-to-inject-bleach-to-fight-covid-19


    As with Ms Palin who never said anything remotely like, "I
    can see Russia from my house!", it never happened.

    You certainly didn't see any Democrat howling that this was bribery. The Internet has been ablase, claiming that he was given $400 million in cash which is an outright lie. He was merely offered a replacement for a late delivery of the new Air Force One.

    More importantly, while the media claims are now different, when Obama entered the race for President he was worth $190,000. Why haven't they looked into how he could possibly be worth $200 Million now?

    Biden entiered his first term as senator and was the runner for Senator Robert Byrd who was a member ot the KKK. Biden gathered votes to kill support for the Civil Rights Act. Biden was one of the strongest racist in public off since even Byrd didn't
    believe his own policies.

    How did the Democrats convince the US that they were on the side of civil rights when they were defeated by Ulysses Grant in the Civil War?

    The Qatari jet would have to be gutted to the superstructure so that it
    could be fitted with different wiring, hydraulics, fuel lines, air frame >> reinforcement members, and armor plating. It needs larger fuel tanks
    that are reinforced to sustain damage. All the extra weight of the
    reinforcement, electronic countermeasure equipment, and larger fuel
    tanks require larger engines, not to mention it needs engines with
    enough thrust to do very short take offs.

    Essentially, its a completely different aircraft. it's actually cheaper
    and easier to build an AF1 from the ground up than it would be to start
    from a completely assembled 747.

    I'm absolutely no fan of trump, but POTUS needs to have a plane that's
    been designed with purpose, not retrofitted like some dodge conversion van.


    Mr Trump is in Qatar, not UAE. The scheming traitorous Qataris offered >>> a jet for his use. Many people, I among them, think that's batshit crazy >>> in general, and in particular for anything from Qatar. The bastards
    gave shelter to Kalid Sheikh Mohammad after he bombed the World Trade

    Mr Trump has not turned it down as of this morning.

    And he wont. He'll get a free plane for personal use after his
    presidency, emollients clause be damned and this spineless DOJ and
    congress won't do a fucking thing to stop him. It's already allegedly at >> an Airfield in San Antonio:

    Oh, c'mon Andrew. Tommys imagination is _much_ more entertaining.

    Flunky doesn't read newspapers, he tunes in to CNN and believes everything they say.

    Except that I can't remember the last time I tuned into CNN

    That's why he is the very definition of "loser".

    Hmmm....like someone who brags about is million dollar investment
    ballooning into a million dollars over 5 years?

    Hey Flunky, tell us again that you've done 600 miles this year at an average of 20 mph.

    Why would I do that? According to https://www.strava.com/athletes/16053273

    Activities 35
    Distance 715.8 mi
    Elev Gain 39,266 ft
    Time 39h 48m

    gives about 17.9. Sure, most of that is virtual (typical for this time
    of year) but comports with my last two (successful) commutes:

    https://www.strava.com/activities/14256779418
    shows 18.6

    https://www.strava.com/activities/14261577903
    shows 18.7

    Is it really that painful being such a loser?

    I wouldn't know personally, but based on how much of a cranky angry old
    bitch you are, it must be pretty bad.




    Flunky, a "virtual" race is not a race. Stop pretending it is.

    Tom, stop lying or spewing amazing facts. If my must do so, please
    prefix your misinformation with "in my opinion" or something similar.

    There were several repurposed drugs that effectively treated covid-19. But in order to get emergency authorization for accelerated development of vaccines there can be NO effective treatment. So Under the command of Fauci and Biden all other treatments
    were denied effectiveness and even the medical association said that using these drugs would lose you your medical certification.

    Nice conspiracy theory. See:

    "Emergency Use Authorization of Medical Products and Related
    Authorities" <https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/emergency-use-authorization-medical-products-and-related-authorities#euas>

    See section beginning with "d. No Alternatives".
    "For FDA to issue an EUA, there must be no adequate, approved, and
    available alternative to the candidate product for diagnosing,
    preventing, or treating the disease or condition."

    Also see the section beginning with "b. Evidence of Effectiveness".

    Has anyone proven that bleach or alcohol is effective for treating
    Covid-19? Except for some internet quacks, I haven't seen any
    reputable claims.

    Notice that I'm not talking about Ivermectin, which was NOT approved
    for treating covid-19 by the FDA:
    Ivermectin and COVID-19 (04/05/2024) <https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/ivermectin-and-covid-19>
    "The FDA has not authorized or approved ivermectin for use in
    preventing or treating COVID-19 in humans or animals." etc.

    Note that we are not discussing emergency Covid-19 vaccine
    authorizations because there were no such vaccines in early 2020.

    It grows tiresome you shooting your stupid mouth off about ANYTHING you don't know about. Most of the deaths from covid-19 were from the vaccines and we will continue having deaths from mRNA vavvines for at least another 5 years. Possibly 10. The worst
    thing you could have done was to run down and be vaccinated to prove me "WRONG" but time will tell since you're cancer prone.

    It's your claim that Covid-19 vaccines have killed people. Can you
    provide any evidence that this happened? Excess deaths seems like a
    good place for you to start. Statistics from: <https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/>
    might also help prove your points. Unfortunate, they stopped
    collecting data on April 13, 2024. Let me know when you find
    something that could be considered authoritative. However, if you
    can't find anything, you know what to do.

    Incidentally, I've been fully vaccinated (Pfizer) and am still here to
    debunk your amazing claims.

    Is is necessary to "turn down" a proferred bribe?

    It's not a bribe, not unless you keep it.

    //
    Saudi King Abdullah gave Mr Obama, his wife and daughters nearly
    $190,000 in luxury baubles in 2009, including the single most valuable
    gift reported to have been given to U.S. officials that year: a ruby
    and diamond jewelry set, including earrings, a ring, a bracelet and
    necklace, for the First Lady worth $132,000.

    However, Mrs Obama is unlikely to be pictured wearing the jewels, as
    by law gifts to U.S. officials must be turned over to the Government -
    the jewellery already has been sent to the National Archives.




    You certainly didn't see any Democrat howling that this was bribery. The Internet has been ablase, claiming that he was given $400 million in cash which is an outright lie. He was merely offered a replacement for a late delivery of the new Air Force One.

    Trump was speaking of keeping it. That would be illegal.

    More importantly, while the media claims are now different, when Obama entered the race for President he was worth $190,000. Why haven't they looked into how he could possibly be worth $200 Million now?

    Sources?

    Biden entiered his first term as senator and was the runner for Senator Robert Byrd who was a member ot the KKK. Biden gathered votes to kill support for the Civil Rights Act. Biden was one of the strongest racist in public off since even Byrd didn't
    believe his own policies.

    Sources?

    How did the Democrats convince the US that they were on the side of civil rights when they were defeated by Ulysses Grant in the Civil War?

    Those were Democrats when they were repuglicans, and vice
    versa. Try to keep up...

    Trump never said that. He REPEATED, shocked, that a reporter in the audience had said that. He should have had them play that reporter back and with his picture since there are cameras on the audience as well.

    Every left wing kook in the entire world has said that they saw him say that when he in no manner said that. Medical authorities were saying that antiseptics can kill covid-19 on surfaces which makes no difference at all since it has a short lifespan on
    dry surfaces and none on surfaces exposed to sunlight or UV. It is a respiratory disease and can hang in the air for a short time. Anyone walking through that cloud can be exposed to it. But it is an INFLUENZA virus and most adults have a high immunity
    to Covid-19. The vast majority of people that had it didn't even know they had it and there had to be kits developed that would show it in those who only had slight symtoms.

    There have been a LARGE number of medical studies showing that mRNA vaccines are seriously dangerous since you do not know the area effected, the dosage offered or the length of time that it operates. Again: MOST of the deaths supposedly by Covid-19 were
    from the mRNA vaccines. over 50% of adults taking these vaccines had PERMANENTLY damaged hearts. And the worst heart damage was in young adults fr5om 18 to 24. Every organ in the body could have serious to deadly damage from mRNA vacccines which were NOT
    a vaccine but a Genetically Modified Organism - a disease all of itself.

    I have claimed since the 1980's that Fauci was a complete blithering idiot and each year he would do some other stupid thing and be promoted for it. This is why the HHS needs to be completely revamped into a department to PROTECT Americans and not to get
    paid large sums of money because most of them are failed doctors like Fauci.

    IIRC, the idea of a disinfectant killing COVID virus was
    based on Trump hearing about disinfectants such as bleach
    and isopropyl alcohol applied to a surface.

    I wonder, then, what type of disinfectant was he thinking
    about injecting into the body? And by what method? In what
    way would that make sense?

    You can claim the outrage was generated by left wing media.
    But companies making products like Lysol and bleach were
    worried enough that they felt the need to issue warnings
    about misuse of their products. Medical agencies did the
    same, possibly because people wearing red hats are not known
    for rational approaches to science.



    You did not understand my comments because you forgot the
    timeline.

    First there was a typical WH afternoon presentation, this
    one featuring a researcher who among other subjects
    mentioned disifectants.

    Then Mr Trump, as is his style, asked if that might be a
    productive avenue of research and so on.

    After that a comedian did his hyperbolic snarky TeeVee bit
    about 'Trump says inject bleach', which went viral.

    No different from the Sarah Palin smear - untrue and yet
    with a life of its own. Or Gerald Ford, a graceful dancer,
    athlete and avid skier, who will be remembered as a clumsy
    klutz due to a TeeVee skit.

    Hope that helps.

    Now, to your comments, did Clorox Co and Rekitt Corp
    actually take inquiries about injecting bleach? Or were they
    being proactively defensive regarding product liability?

    I don't know and you don't either, but we probably agree
    that your average USAian is below average for matters of
    applied medicine and organic chemistry.

    What would you consider to be a "large number"? The studies done in
    2020 to end of 2021 had very few participants. Some of the studies
    I've read conglomerated data from multiple sources in order to obtain statistically significant results.

    There are many.

    I beg to differ (as usual). Some of the studies used data from the
    crowd sources VAERS database.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10022421/
    "The review includes 69 case reports/case series, 4 studies with data
    obtained from electronic medical records (hospital surveillance data,
    national database, VAERS/VigiBase), and 8 observational studies
    including prospective/retrospective cohort."

    https://www.med.upenn.edu/CEP/assets/user-content/documents/covid-reports/mrna-vaccine-review-final.pdf
    This survey article has a chance of being correct. They didn't use
    VAERS data. I haven't read it yet:
    "Databases: NICE Evidence Search, ECRI Guidelines Trust, CADTH,
    INAHTA, Cochrane Library, web sites of relevant professional
    organizations, Medline, EMBASE"

    https://www.factcheck.org/2024/02/study-largely-confirms-known-rare-covid-19-vaccine-side-effects/
    This one mentions that they used VAERS data, but how and in what
    manner is unknown:
    "Frontera, Jennifer A. et al. Neurological Events Reported after
    COVID-19 Vaccines: An Analysis of VAERS. Annals of Neurology. 2 Mar
    2022."

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8421099/
    This report does not involved the general population. It was done in
    Israel and therefore doesn't involve VAERS.
    "Objective: To study the association between prenatal Pfizer-BioNTech
    COVID-19 vaccination, pregnancy course and outcomes."
    The data is limited to 4,399 pregnant women in Israel. The results
    were negative:
    "Prenatal maternal COVID-19 vaccine has no adverse effects on
    pregnancy course and outcomes."

    But we each look at examples and either accept them as a
    quantified risk or discount them as outlier unlikely anomalies.

    Medical authorities were saying that antiseptics can kill covid-19 on surfaces which makes no difference at all since it has a short lifespan on dry surfaces and none on surfaces exposed to sunlight or UV. It is a respiratory disease and can hang in the

    In humid climates, for a considerable length of time. Which is
    why masks and social distancing were so effective at controlling the
    spread.

    Anyone walking through that cloud can be exposed to it. But it is an INFLUENZA virus

    It's a virus. It's as "related" to influenza as you are to an elephant.... IOW, not at all. Different families. Well, dunno about
    you. But I can swear COVID is not even distantly related to influenza.

    and most adults have a high immunity to Covid-19.

    Practically no humans had immunity to COVID. That's why it
    spread so fast. After getting vaccinated you became immune to that
    particular strain. Or if you caught it, you became immune to that
    particular strain, assuming you didn't die first.

    The vast majority of people that had it didn't even know they had it and there had to be kits developed that would show it in those who only had slight symtoms.

    The kits were to distinguish it from other less dangerous
    viruses. Even rabies can start as a "flu-like syndrome".
    Also for epidemiological studies, until Trump cut the funding.
    What looks bad, you hide. If you're a criminal.

    There have been a LARGE number of medical studies showing that mRNA vaccines are seriously dangerous since you do not know the area effected, the dosage offered or the length of time that it operates. Again: MOST of the deaths supposedly by Covid-19
    were from the mRNA vaccines. over 50% of adults taking these vaccines had PERMANENTLY damaged hearts.

    That would be practically half of all Americans then ...
    I hope you have reliable sources for that. They might need me,
    I was always good at cardiology, and I don't think you have enough
    doctors in the US to deal with so many dangerously sick people.
    Trump would have to legalize me, and pay American salaries. I
    wouldn't work for less.

    Those studies are either over 4 years old and incomplete OR

    Some even list fever as "serious systemic reactions". LOL.

    saudi-arabia-gave-over-13m-in-gifts-to-the-obamas-last-year




    Flunky doesn't read newspapers, he tunes in to CNN and believes everything they say.

    Except that I can't remember the last time I tuned into CNN

    That's why he is the very definition of "loser".

    Hmmm....like someone who brags about is million dollar investment
    ballooning into a million dollars over 5 years?

    Hey Flunky, tell us again that you've done 600 miles this year at an average of 20 mph.

    Why would I do that? According to https://www.strava.com/athletes/16053273 >>
    Activities 35
    Distance 715.8 mi
    Elev Gain 39,266 ft
    Time 39h 48m

    gives about 17.9. Sure, most of that is virtual (typical for this time
    of year) but comports with my last two (successful) commutes:

    https://www.strava.com/activities/14256779418
    shows 18.6

    https://www.strava.com/activities/14261577903
    shows 18.7

    Is it really that painful being such a loser?

    I wouldn't know personally, but based on how much of a cranky angry old
    bitch you are, it must be pretty bad.

    Flunky, a "virtual" race is not a race. Stop pretending it is.

    The UCI disagrees with you

    It will be held on the Whoosh platform. In 2023 it was on the Zwift
    platform.

    Get with the program, dumbass

    I have a dog in this fight, only insofar as I don't like to see
    scientific ignorance babbled about.

    Tom said mRNA vaccines "are seriously dangerous." To me, "seriously >dangerous" implies adverse effects that are truly consequential, and at
    least fairly common.

    Let's look at your linked papers. The first talks about some not fatal,
    but pretty serious adverse events in about 17,000 cases. But they don't
    give that as a percentage of doses administered. So, how many doses?
    From
    https://www.statista.com/statistics/1194934/number-of-covid-vaccine-doses-administered-by-county-worldwide/,
    it looks like for the U.S. it's about 600 million around the time
    covered by that study. 17000/600,000,000 is about 0.003%. Not very
    common, is it? And that conclusion is bolstered by statements in other
    papers you linked, like "Serious COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects Are Rare."

    Another of your links says "Systemic adverse events such as fatigue,
    muscle aches, headache, and chills are common. Severe systemic adverse
    events were reported by 5 to 10 percent of trial subjects. Localized
    adverse events such as pain at the injection side are common. Both
    systemic and local adverse events usually are resolved within one or two >days." Or IOW: You might feel slightly sick after getting the vaccine,
    for a couple days.

    Um... Wow. Is that what qualifies as "seriously dangerous" these days?

    I particularly hate to see deliberate scientific ignorance that's
    motivated by right wing points of view. But that seems to be sadly common.

    It's almost like it's part of right wing dogma.

    Apparently Krygowski still believes that building strawmen is a
    serious argumentative tactic.

    I particularly hate to see deliberate scientific ignorance that's
    motivated by left wing points of view. But that seems to be sadly
    common.

    It's almost like it's part of left wing dogma.

    As for the shots, now, for the most part, it's a personal decision,
    not forced upon us by the government and their minions.

    Yes I heard that live, one of many daily presentations during the
    hysteria. Thank you for an accurate transcript.

    His questions (typical of Mr Trump's style on any topic) "Is it
    feasible? Can we learn more?" etc are not exhortations nor commands
    and there's absolutely no mention of bleach. Moreover, as you note,
    his questions were directly in response to the presentation on then-
    current understanding of antiviral techniques.

    That 'inject bleach' trope started later when he was mocked, as
    usual, by comedian John Oliver, with typical insulting hyperbole, and
    invention. Irresponsible repetition of the falsehoods has made the
    lie real to some people, perhaps even you:

    https://www.whqr.org/2024-04-03/fact-check-did-trump-once- tell-
    americans-to-inject-bleach-to-fight-covid-19

    IIRC, the idea of a disinfectant killing COVID virus was based on
    Trump hearing about disinfectants such as bleach and isopropyl alcohol
    applied to a surface.

    I wonder, then, what type of disinfectant was he thinking about
    injecting into the body? And by what method? In what way would that
    make sense?

    You can claim the outrage was generated by left wing media. But
    companies making products like Lysol and bleach were worried enough
    that they felt the need to issue warnings about misuse of their
    products. Medical agencies did the same, possibly because people
    wearing red hats are not known for rational approaches to science.



    You did not understand my comments because you forgot the timeline.

    First there was a typical WH afternoon presentation, this one featuring
    a researcher who among other subjects mentioned disifectants.

    Then Mr Trump, as is his style, asked if that might be a productive
    avenue of research and so on.

    After that a comedian did his hyperbolic snarky TeeVee bit about 'Trump
    says inject bleach', which went viral.

    No different from the Sarah Palin smear - untrue and yet with a life of
    its own. Or Gerald Ford, a graceful dancer, athlete and avid skier, who
    will be remembered as a clumsy klutz due to a TeeVee skit.

    Hope that helps.

    I suppose it's nice to hear details about the timeline, but you haven't >answered my questions. What type of disinfectant was he thinking about >injecting into the body? And by what method? In what way would that make >sense? Why even say such a thing?

    The videos and other contemporary information make clear that Dr. Birx
    was horrified in real time as Trump was speaking. >https://www.nbcnews.com/video/watch-dr-birx-reacts-as-trump-suggests-injection-of-disinfectant-to-beat-coronavirus-82518597530
    That reaction was not manufactured by a comedian.

    Now, to your comments, did Clorox Co and Rekitt Corp actually take
    inquiries about injecting bleach? Or were they being proactively
    defensive regarding product liability?

    They were almost certainly being proactive, knowing that there would be >anti-science MAGA idiots that would act on their leader's idea. And
    indeed, poisonings by disinfectants did surge following Trump's nonsense >statement.

    As for poisoning by disinfectants, that happened after the leftists
    put words in Trump's mouth that he never said.

    "I suppose it's nice to hear details about the timeline, but you
    haven't answered my questions. What type of disinfectant was he
    thinking about injecting into the body? And by what method? In what
    way would that make sense? Why even say such a thing?"

    Unable to advance his own point if view, Krygowski resorts to his
    usual dishonest tactic of trying to shift the argument to his
    opponent.

    I have a dog in this fight, only insofar as I don't like to
    see scientific ignorance babbled about.

    Tom said mRNA vaccines "are seriously dangerous." To me,
    "seriously dangerous" implies adverse effects that are truly
    consequential, and at least fairly common.

    Let's look at your linked papers. The first talks about some
    not fatal, but pretty serious adverse events in about 17,000
    cases. But they don't give that as a percentage of doses
    administered. So, how many doses? From https:// www.statista.com/statistics/1194934/number-of-covid-vaccine- doses-administered-by-county-worldwide/, it looks like for
    the U.S. it's about 600 million around the time covered by
    that study. 17000/600,000,000 is about 0.003%. Not very
    common, is it? And that conclusion is bolstered by
    statements in other papers you linked, like "Serious
    COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects Are Rare."

    Another of your links says "Systemic adverse events such as
    fatigue, muscle aches, headache, and chills are common.
    Severe systemic adverse events were reported by 5 to 10
    percent of trial subjects. Localized adverse events such as
    pain at the injection side are common. Both systemic and
    local adverse events usually are resolved within one or two
    days." Or IOW: You might feel slightly sick after getting
    the vaccine, for a couple days.

    Um... Wow. Is that what qualifies as "seriously dangerous"
    these days?

    I particularly hate to see deliberate scientific ignorance
    that's motivated by right wing points of view. But that
    seems to be sadly common.

    It's almost like it's part of right wing dogma.


    Make your own decision in your own way. Meh.

    Andrew, that's like saying "Ride a bike if you want to" AFTER promoting

    insurance coverage."

    It's a weak excuse for a campaign of misinformation.

    Good grief. Krygowski has built a strawman of monstrous proportions.

    Nobody has advocated that anyone should be refused ER care and
    insurance coverage. It's the idea that the bureaucrats should be able
    force me to take some medicine that's objectionable.

    It is.




    What happened when he was so surprised by what a reporter said and >>>>>> repeated it in surprise? Our local cocksucker told everyone that
    Trump said that we should drink bleech to cure covid.

    No, best he doesn't even acknowledge such things at all. Words
    unsaid, even "no" cannot be twisted.

    Mr Trump never said any such thing about bleach, not even remotely
    or obliquely.

    Actually he did, at a press conference on April 23 2020, after a
    presentation which showed that UV light and bleach were effective at
    killing the virus.

    "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a
    minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like
    that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it
    gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So
    it would be interesting to check that.”

    At least in the understanding of the medical community at large,
    that was far enough past oblique and/or remote that they immediately
    issued press releases telling people not to drink or inject bleach.


    I did not understand the rest of your comment but bribery remains
    neither legal nor moral.



    Yes I heard that live, one of many daily presentations during the
    hysteria. Thank you for an accurate transcript.

    His questions (typical of Mr Trump's style on any topic) "Is it
    feasible? Can we learn more?" etc are not exhortations nor commands
    and there's absolutely no mention of bleach. Moreover, as you note,
    his questions were directly in response to the presentation on then-
    current understanding of antiviral techniques.

    That 'inject bleach' trope started later when he was mocked, as
    usual, by comedian John Oliver, with typical insulting hyperbole, and
    invention. Irresponsible repetition of the falsehoods has made the
    lie real to some people, perhaps even you:

    https://www.whqr.org/2024-04-03/fact-check-did-trump-once- tell-
    americans-to-inject-bleach-to-fight-covid-19


    As with Ms Palin who never said anything remotely like, "I can see
    Russia from my house!", it never happened.


    As noted, trump floated the idea of 'disinfectant' injections. The
    claim "Mr Trump never said any such thing about bleach, not even
    remotely or obliquely." is patently false.



    See what you like between the lines of the transcript but although
    bleach can be a disinfectant (depending on concentration etc) not all disinfectants are chlorine bleach.

    Attempt at deflection duly noted and dismissed an attempt at deflection.


    He asked, as a follow up to the expert's reference to disinfectants, if
    we might pursue that, asking "Is there a way we can do something like
    that, by injection inside ...?"  and "It would be interesting to check that."

    Those are logical questions,

    No, they weren't logical questions, which is why trumps own team went
    into defcon 4 damage control after he said it. They were ignorant and
    illogical questions.

    not a command, exhortation or medical advice.

    This is true, but you're just as aware of trumps cult following as anyone.


    (p.s. chemotherapy is not all that different from the arsenic cure for syphilis in the late 1800s, speaking of poisons)

    No one would have cared either way but for the comedian making it into
    'Trump says inject yourself with bleach'.  In the exact same way as was applied to Ms Palin and Mr Ford among others.

    The various health agencies and companies weren't responding to John
    Oliver, they were responding to trump's buffoonery.

    Obviously, the reason to answer would be to prove that what Trump said
    was perfectly logical and wise! It would be a way for you to defend the

    But you can't answer the questions, because your hero spewed nonsense,

    Again, he was apparently inspired by information that wiping
    disinfectant on a hard surface kills covid virus particles sitting there.

    How does anyone who's passed half of a biology course think that should inspire even a question about injecting a disinfectant _into_ one's body?



    It's easy to imagine when you consider that he paid someone to do his
    homework.

    Mr Trump does spew nonsense, as do many people. This is not
    news.

    However, asking if an application of the expert's datum
    might be possible is a logical inquiry, not a headlong rush
    to endorse action.

    I got a copy for my kindle. Different translation. Andrew Weston. I'm
    not likely going to read too much of it.

    I was sold on the concept of focusing on what we can control and
    accepting what we cannot, and also with using logic and reasoning to
    evaluate things instead of giving credence to other people's opinions.
    The evaluation of those concepts is mostly other people's opinions,
    which is why I won't be reading too much of the book.

    My philosophy tends toward, "I like it," or "I don't like it," and I'm
    not interested in other's people opinions about it.

    I read quite a bit of it last night during my early to bed reading
    time. I didn't come across anything I found fault with. Reading what
    he wrote for his own enlightenment is more palatable than lectures.

    Of particular interest is ignoring slanderous insults. I've never
    understood how and why so many people let other people's opinions of
    them influence how they feel about themselves.

    The suggestion that thinking and reasoning for yourself is more
    important than other people's opinions is near and dear to my heart.

    It's fine when someone says, "here's my opinion...," but I'm generally

    After further reflection and a second cup of coffee, this morning, I
    was wrong to characterize myself as a disciple of stoicism, or at
    least as how Marcus Aurelius defines it. Unlike him, I have never
    believed that I have an obligation to society to make it better. My
    only obligation to society is not to make it worse.

    His description of the relationship between the individual and
    society, he calls it community, is vastly different from how I see it.

    If there were a reasonable way to defend Trump's statements, you would

    What would be a reason I, or anyone else should answer your questions?

    Defend against what?

    But you can't answer the questions, because your hero spewed nonsense,
    as he routinely does.

    My only heros are my relatives.

    I'd say the Stoic Zeno.

    When sentenced to have his tongue cut out, he bit it off
    himself and spit it at the king.

    Anyone who spits at a King has my respect.

    Short but well composed, a bit over one dollar:

    I'll read some more tonight, but it's going slow because we have
    guests in our home for the next week or so.

    I read more from the Meditations-Marcus-Aurelius book.

    Given his outlook on life, it might have been difficult for him to be
    a ruler with obligations to control the people.

    I have a hard time understanding why some people have a need to
    control other people. I see those people as parasites. Needing other
    people to do your bidding in order to feel fulfilled is a weakness, in >>>> my opinion.

    Not the only son imperfectly suited to take over the family
    business.

    I notice that in the early meditations, he was all about
    individuality, and then, gradually, he became a slave to the
    community's needs.

    'Heavy is the head that wears the crown', and all that.

    Soft is the head of the ruling class in the USA.
