@PonyPanda We need a new verb to describe the process of turning everything into shit by a troon. To troonvert? To sabotroon? To troonoralize?

@Fullycaffeinated @polarisera @Gelatinousrube Yep, it is the one I would consider. I was just checking on its progress today. No news, it seems that they are still aiming to seek authorization in the third quarter of 2021.

@Fullycaffeinated @Gelatinousrube @polarisera I understand, I certainty can envision situations where I would take the currently available vaccines. The problem is that the non-neutralizing vaccines give a false sense of security and no way of telling whether or not you are contagious.

@polarisera I needed the meme, and you were offline having a life or something, so I had to step in. Do better.

@Fullycaffeinated Just found an update on the Medicago vaccine. It's been delayed a bit. Hopefully it is approved before my workplace mandates the vaccines, which seems to be inevitable at this point."Si tout se passe comme prévu et selon le meilleur scénario envisagé, Medicago pourrait n'accuser qu'un mois de retard sur son itinéraire initial. Notre vision la plus optimiste était une analyse des résultats au début du mois d'août. Maintenant, c'est fin août ou début septembre. On parle de quelques semaines, un mois. Ce n'est pas grand-chose comme délai, poursuit le Dr Ward.Toujours en profitant d'une voie rapide et si tout se déroule sans un nouveau problème, le candidat serait enfin autorisé avant l'hiver."https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/1810819/medicago-candidat-vaccin-phase-3-recrutement-difficile

@meghanmurphy It seems that the subscribe feature on Feminist Current hasn't been restored yet. Or I just can’t find it? I was about to recommend someone to subscribe to your weekly news round-up.Also, the Twitter icon on the front page leads to the twitter handle that was stolen. I take it Twitter has predictably ignored our complains.

@Lilitu @FSI @Gelatinousrube Current vaccines are non-sterilizing, which means that they1. Do not prevent transmission of the virus between vaccinees, or between vaccinees and non-vaccinated people, thus cause a spike of cases in non-vaccinated individuals:https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.10021982. Select for mutations and thus cause the emergence of new variants:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33909660/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33688681/https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.23.21257679v1https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.19.444774v1https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33769683/

@Froggo The resemblance of this situation to the TERF-TRA divide is striking. We, those who express any doubt about the forced mass vaccination regardless of what our reasons are, or our own vaccination status, think that the other side is naive, or misjudged, or misinformed, whereas the other side believes that we are evil.@Lilitu

The Conservatives released their platform today: "gender-based violence", "gender pay gap", "gender inequality", "LGBTQ+ people". It seems that I will be a PPC voter. What a strange world we are living in.

The Babylon Bee strikes again:Health Officials Warn Of Mysterious Infertility Crisis Among Trans Women"Researchers initially used science and reason when looking into the cause of this crisis, but that led to a number of problematic findings, so they were quickly abandoned. Researchers are instead now relying simply on feelings. "https://babylonbee.com/news/health-officials-warn-of-mysterious-infertility-crisis-among-transwomen

@Mariposa Studies that came out this August: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301462221001599https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167732221020080https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2052297521000883https://journals.lww.com/americantherapeutics/Citation/9000/Pitfalls_in_Reporting_Sample_Size_Calculation.98005.aspxhttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.10.21261855v1July:https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12879-021-06348-5https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ajcem/article/view/209853https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.06.21259924v1https://www.scitechnol.com/abstract/virtual-screening-reveals-potential-antiparasitic-drugs-inhibiting-the-receptor-binding-domain-of-sarscov2-spike-protein-16398.htmlhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1567576921006408https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.21.21260223v1I could keep going, but the overall picture should be clear.The study you cited is based on a small selective subset of available studies, with a majority of results based on only 1 or 2 studies (more than 100 are currently available). For example, the authors excluded many treatment studies by requiring results at exactly 28 days and all prophylaxis studies by requiring results at exactly 14 days. Studies comparing ivermectin with other medications and studies used combined treatment were also excluded.https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD015017.pub2/full@Fullycaffeinated @Gelatinousrube

@Mariposa You are missing the point entirely.You decisively stated that “that there is no evidence yet that Ivermectin is effective for treating or preventing covid 19” citing a paper that is based on a small selective subset of available studies, with a majority of results based on only 1 or 2 studies (with over 100 actually available) and with the authors who didn’t disclose their financial bias (https://www.cochrane.org/news/cochrane-announces-support-new-donor)I cited 11 papers, some peer-reviewed and some preprints, covering the subject from different angles that came out in July and August only. The study you are trying to criticize was focused on trying to find out possible mechanisms on why it is effective against COVID-19. An interesting study to conduct in 2020 for something that supposedly has no evidence of its efficiency. Anyway, the volume of available evidence is huge, and if you want to make a statement on ivermectin, please, do that using the whole body of evidence.As for your peer-review remark, since it seems to be an indicator of quality for you, Biophysical Chemistry is peer-reviewed journal, and the paper in questions was received on 29 April 2021 and revised on 13 August 2021. That said, I have personally had a paper sent, revised, accepted, and published online within a month in a peer-reviewed journal.@Fullycaffeinated @Gelatinousrube
