Our country is generally not concerned with what is being said, only with who said it.  Cuts out all the critical thinking mumbo jumbo

I definitely understand the "argument from authority" angle people try to use.  But in this case I think he tried it, without reading what the article was about.  Its kind of like having football coaches talking about challenges they are having with COVID and their team, and someone says "only someone who specializes in viruses can tell you that!"  Wait...what?

people have this really big problem understanding how job responsibilities are broken down among the medical profession. Like at their accounting firm or oil change shop they can tell you exactly what every single members role is and how it differs etc. But generally people hear doctor and think all health. That is incredibly incorrect. 

The people you want to listen to here are...

infectious disease - smartest people in med school go into ID. 

virologists - they study viruses

epidemiologists - they study how things spread

pulm/internal med/intensivists - these are the ones taking care of people after they're tubed or convalescing 

For things like this, look at what they do, what their exposure would be, and why we should listen to what they say about country wide policy. What does an emed doctor do here? Looks at a CT and sends them upstairs. The fact she's going on Fox news and complaining about a drug we know to do nothing being politicized, well, that should tell you all you need to know. 

This could also be like those old right wing 1,000 SCIENTISTS DENY CLIMATE CHANGE. Then it turned out half were meteorologists and the other half just had a problem with one piece of data out of a corner of canada but never actually denied the broader science.

Or the last time earlier this year where the list was just posted online and anyone could sign it. Unless there really is a Dr. Weedlord BonerHitler who works in proctology. 

So those doctors that you named are trained in alcohol abuse?

You have to walk the line between economics and health and safety.  Even within those 2 groups, there are many considerations on economics and many on health and safety that all have to be considered.  Ripple effects to quick and short sighted answers to large problems

We are sorry to inform you that your job has been outsourced to a team of Russian nurses.  They are cheaper.....in many senses of the word

All the scab nurses come from like Micronesia, at least in Asheville. 

In Asheville all the russians work in waste management and that one dry cleaning place near biltmore.

i think that's basically the playbook now, say something stupid and ridiculous and outlandish, almost forcing a response and correction, just to steer the conversation away from legitimate concerns and then stupid people will still be like "well I guess (when confronted with obvious lies and nonsense vs. hard facts and science) the truth is somewhere in the middle"

I had a patient yesterday asking if he should take it because the president told him to.

There is definitely some truth to that.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
