Tom has been fairly close to 100% wrong on his "amazing facts". His
recent claim that vaccinations cause a loss of immunity is good
example. Also, his chronic use of VAERS data to prove some point even
though the CDC indicates that crowd sourced data can't be used to
establish cause and effect. I'm very much in a hurry right now but
will happily provide examples with URL's when I have time (probably
Sunday).

Respond to what? Tom's claim(s) or yours? I sometimes ignore Tom's
"amazing facts" simply because of lack of time. It might take Tom 10
minutes to fabricate an amazing fact. It might take me hours to find
the original sources and provide a readable fact check report. Try
fact checking just one of Tom's "amazing facts" and you'll soon see
what's involved.

I saw that. You tacked the URL pointing a two graphs showing
something very disturbing. I was very interested in the graphs. Just
one problem. There was no sources or any additional information. I
had meant to ask you for your sources, but either forgot or became
busy with something else. Could I trouble you for the link again,
this time including the URL?
>Now you want to process a Science text?
Well, yes. I've done it before and can do it again. It's not
necessary to understand everything in such reports. I'm interested in
the methodology used, who was involved in preparing the report, who
funded the report, was it peer reviewed, are the statistics correct,
references to past research, and similar items which might discount
the validity of the report and its claims. So far, I've spent about
15 minutes digging through it and at first glance can find nothing
wrong. I've seen other reports, which provide amazing conclusions,
only to discover that the report was based on a statistical sample of
5 patients. That's the kind of junk I'm looking for. If I manage to
pickup some understanding during the process, all for the better.
4 Pfizer shots. 2 vaccines and 2 booster shots. I'm considering a
3rd booster. I read a summary of that article about 3 months ago.
Since I'm not paranoid about vaccine side effects, I didn't read any
further than the summary.

Indirectly, they have. I've been doing all my manual labor instead of
hiring people. I got a surprise yesterday. The weather forecast
predicts rain on Saturday night. Usually, the first rain is in late
October in this area (Santa Cruz, CA). This time, it's a month early.
So, I get to do a months yard work in 2 days. I've been working 30
minutes and resting 15 minutes. I spend the resting time on the
computer, mostly so I'm not tempted to fall asleep. I'm tired, but
feeling quite well. That wasn't the case when I was having chest
pains (angina) and assorted aches and pains. Staying home has
definitely benefited my health.

I won't try to answer for Frank.

Maybe I should answer for Frank. The secret to success is to learn
how to survive failure. Everyone makes mistakes. I made a few really
bad mistakes recently. I survived. Now, look at Tom and possibly
Andre. They also make mistakes, lots of mistakes, but did they
survive? Nope. They both try to bury their mistakes hoping that
nobody will remember. Both are masters at bluster (loud, aggressive,
or indignant talk with little effect). If you're looking for
perfection or a roll model, you came to the wrong place.
Nice article. I like the blog owners mantra:
"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely
free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."
I haven't had time to track down the source of the
"Renal Failure - Mortality Deviation from Trend 2018 - 2022"
Please read that title carefully. Notice that it's not the actual
incidence of renal failure, but rather the deviation from an
unspecified normal trend. The source is "The Ethical Skeptic" which
I'll chase down later.
Reminder: 2 graphs from Israel with the source URL.
