Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Doc Rocket?

I have no medical degrees, but I think this thing would have run it's course, like every other bug before it, no matter what we did. History means something and history has shown it will take a few years for a new thing to burn through the populace and unfortunately the weak will likely die.

I think the best course of action would have been inaction. Let it do what it's going to do. If the old and sick are really worried, minimize contact. Otherwise, let it burn through, like all bugs and forest fires prior. To me it seemed like there were a lot of people that wanted to be smarter than mother nature, disregard history and force their "intelligence" on others. Let mother nature do what mother nature is going to do.


Nothing should have been shut down, no vaccines should have been forced, let people decide for themselves. The fabric of what our nation was born from, but too many are "smarter" than the masses. Add the greed and evil to the equation and we get a lot more sick and dead people.

It was a black mark on our nation's history.

And then they go and push an untested and experimental "vax" and lockdowns that prolonged the pandemic.

The vax placing unprecedented pressure on the bug to mutate and then giving the bug more time to work by separating people.

He thinks we killed EE.

I think he helped by helping assure that an over vaccinated populace caused artificial mutations that killed more people.

Your point on the mutability of admission criteria is absolutely possible, and in many regions I'm sure probable.

Actually, the hospitalization and deaths data I mentioned were from multiple hospitals and multiple hospital systems in Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Austin, and smaller centers around those like my hospital in Victoria... so, not just my local hospital. The admission criteria were the same pretty much everywhere down here because south Texas was absolutely hammered by the Delta variant (it played hell with the genetic Mexicans and native Americans, but it's not politically correct to say that, and no, the data weren't materially different for white vs black vs Mexican). The aggregate Texas data were slightly less grim for non-vaxxed people, but only slightly. Texas data correlates well with Louisiana and Florida and Wyoming data.

I fully accept your ex-wife's experience, because "full" hospitals doesn't mean there are no beds... it means they don't have any more nurses to staff the beds. That wasn't the case with our hospitals in south Texas during the Delta outbreak. Austin and Washington were sending in extra nurses, rad techs, lab techs, to keep us staffed as much as possible.

I guess those are the doctors you hang out with, but that ain't my experience. Most of the academic researchers I've known and worked with over the past 35 years are smarter than most medical doctors, and medical doctors on the whole have to be pretty sharp, at least intellectually.

Conversely, I've met a ton of lawyers who think they're smarter than anyone else on the whole planet. So I guess that knife cuts both ways, hmm?

But then Pfizer wouldn’t have made 5+ billion $…,

Not really, unlike you I have someone on the other side of nearly everything I do who is trying their best to make me lose. People don’t take my pronouncements as gospel nor do I expect them to. I’m frequently wrong and even more frequently there are unknowables that simply can’t be known because I’m relying on a judge or a jury to make a decision. So while I know we hat I’m going to do, I can’t necessarily predict what the other smart guy is going to do and I sure can’t tell you how a judge or jury will react.

My guess, like every other form of insurance, it's sky high because of scum sucking lawyers/litigation costs.

Doc,

Just a question.

Based on what you, and possibly some of your colleagues now know. What will you do different, when the next pandemic of unknown origin threatens the mortal health of Americans?

I’m by know means saying, you, as a lone ER doctor should hold the weight on your shoulders of a political agenda that manifested a shît-storm, for the sole purpose of controlling a populace.

Rather, I’m asking that, if you’ve learned anything about the medical professionals at the highest levels, including scientific researchers who were disseminating medical treatment protocols for the sick.

What is it you learned, and your takeaway to not follow a bad set of tracks you are being told are there, and should be pursued in the future?

Lawyers have saved a lot of lives by making products, medical care, and most of all work places safer.
The fact that there are frivolous lawsuits and some stupid lawyers doesn't negate the good they do.

None inferred. Carry on. Like Roger says, he was 60, I believe.

I’m frequently wrong

There's a reason most politicians are lawyers.......the go hand in hand as being the scum of the earth.

What seems to be worse is when politicians aren't lawyers---look at some of the imbeciles on both sides of the aisle--MTG, AOC, Boebert, Omar, Tlaib, Cawthorn, to name just a few.
