Trinidad and Tobago Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh says claims made by Nicki Minaj are not true...
Meanwhile her cousin's "friend" is pissing the hot gonorrhea all embarrassed while his country's health officials hunt him down.

I've also done my own research and found out that the actual data doesn't fit into any of the narratives we're being fed. I had a suspicion that the percentages being posted here were off. When you take all of the variables into account you get the following graph where the augmentation is largest for the case with the lowest maximum angle of attack. The phases that increase/decrease the thrust are minimally affected by the maximum angle of attack.
There is no bias in this analysis since the data used hasn't been filtered. This is from a paper from Muscutt LE, Dyke G,Weymouth GD, Naish D, Palmer C,Ganapathisubramani B. published by the Royal Society.But wait, there's more:
You can see in this graph that for both values of the maximum angle of attack the efficiency is greatest for St = 0.18, while the thrust coefficient is greatest for St = 0.36.Furthermore, if we look at the research done by Ludvig Beckman. His conclusions on the general account are as follows:
Let us assume that the inclusion of A and B is sufficient for pure procedural legitimacy of a collective decision regulating membership in the demos. Now, imagine that A and B jointly decide that B should be excluded from the demos. Is the decision legitimate? One answer is that it is not, since it denies B the ability to participate in future decisions to which B will be subject. After all, the general conception of pure procedural legitimacy requires that anyone subject to public decisions should be able to participate in them. On the assumption that B will indeed remain subject to A’s decisions, democratic legitimacy apparently requires that B continues to be included in the demos.The problem is that this answer betrays the nature of pure procedural legitimacy. As we have seen, any outcome should be regarded as legitimate, provided that the procedural requirements are satisfied. Since we have already accepted that the decision to exclude B from the demos is made in accordance with the procedural requirements of democratic legitimacy, there is no basis for refuting its legitimacy. In sum, it is incoherent to hold that decisions made in full com-pliance with the standards of pure procedural legitimacy are also illegitimate by the very same standard.

Thanks for the video, I understand your worldview now. Thumbs up!palimpsest - he was concerned you were going off the rails, took the bits he could derive sense from (opening paragraph, discursive democracy) and tried to rationalisekingsteven
- within the context of the thread. i doubt he cared much, other than to keep the discourse going. qbn is not academic, more like a pub...kingsteven
- So basically, he did his own research regardless of the facts.
I even posted the sources.palimpsest - But I'm the Butters figure here.palimpsest
- You're right, kingsteven.
I apologize.palimpsest - This is amazing. The responses are even better. Well done pal.monospaced

The pandemic marks another grim milestone: 1 in 500 Americans have died of covid-19.

No, there is no scientific evidence showing masks cause harm to kids’ health despite baseless claims suggesting otherwise."

- Did you speak to these doctors and scientists on Facebook? And Reddit?pango

- Of course, if there was more trust in vaccines and less hysteria about masks in general in the US from folks like pr2 it wouldn't be so politicisedkingsteven

Fact-checking a claim raised at WVU about a coronavirus study in Israel
https://www.politifact.com/artic…
IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
• A study done in Israel that is not yet peer reviewed found that people who had been infected with COVID-19 had greater protection than vaccinated people against becoming reinfected with the virus’ delta variant.
• The claim suggests that people are better off going unvaccinated. But peer-reviewed studies repeatedly have found that vaccinated people are more likely to avoid hospitalization or death if they become infected.

Aqute,
Literally had this convo with a relative last night who doesn't want to get vaccinated because she doesn't think covid will be a big deal if she gets it, because she knows some people who had it recently and it was "just a bad week or two."
I'm always a person she can go to for straight-up, fact based info, unlike a lot of the conservative friends she has. I explained it this way:
Think about the risk and reward of being vaccinated and getting Covid, and of being unvaccinated and getting covid:
Vaccinated and still getting covid:
You risk some side effects from the vaccine, there's still a risk you get covid, but the reward is likely a mild case it or simply being asymptomatic. The reward is a low chance of going to the hospital.Unvaccinated and getting covid:
You risk a rough couple of weeks being horribly sick, you risk hospitalization, you risk death. Your reward might be having natural antibodies, but is that worth the risks listed?- And what about contracting Covid and spreading it to all your love ones, friends and strangers alike? Fucking Covidiots!utopian
- ^OBBTKN
- how old is your friend? if they are 65 or younger, possibility of death from covid is insanely low.pr2
- i'm fucking afraid that at some point we're going to start talking about mutations that are immune to the current vaccines, and nobody else is there to blamested
- but these ppl. who refuse to get vaccinated.sted
- son, the virus is already out. there is noone to blame, if anything the vaxxed people, unprotected against new variants are the ones who should get the blame.pr2
- And that’s why everyone on this site thinks you’re both a moron and a royal ass, pr2.monospaced
- uh that was extra dumb.sted
