If there is ever a "civil war" in the united states, it will be gorilla warfare
Can't wait for this 21st century version of Planets of the Apes. How many gorillas does the US army have btw?

I'm sorry old friend. But that utopia you envision is simply a fantasy. Four degenerate people were swiftly brought to justice for their heinous acts. There will always be a certain amount of bad things that happen. What pulls us together as a community, society and nation is how well we react to such injustices. We don't always get it right, but by and large we do far more good then bad, and acting like the Floyd case is somehow commonplace and law enforcement is slaughtering people left and right along racial lines is, as I've pointed out earlier, extremely disingenuous. At best.No its not a good thing, they should have been better trained to stop them doing it in the first place and better supported so they'd be willing to step in to physically stop a colleague who was clearly out of control.
You can tell who the academics are in this conversation. Most people from that walk of life simply don't have the background in gritty reality to appreciate some of the points being raised.Afghanistan is a fine example of how that works, you “neutralize” one, you get 20 new combatants emerging, good luck with that, you better just nuke the country and be done with it.
Where does it say 'social opinion'? I searched the page and found no matches, but you put it in quotes like it was something .. being quoted.I take comfort in the fact that we've finally laid the mask of "muh science!" aside and are all just admitting that "science" has been replaced with "social opinion." I've always known it, but seeing it in the open finally is very refreshing
Over 1,000 health professionals sign a letter saying, Don't shut down protests using coronavirus concerns as an excuse | CNN
A group of health and medical colleagues has penned an open letter to express their concern that protests around the United States could be shut down under the guise of coronavirus health concerns. The letter -- which went on to draw more than 1,200 signatures -- focuses on techniques to...www.cnn.com
I know this is just a nastily worded insult, but I'll answer anyway: my position has been "let it rip" for months now. The sooner we all get this, the sooner we get back to living. My problem is with the double standard applied by those in charge, most especially health officials, who decried our peaceful protests while eagerly cheering on the BLM anarchy, rioting looting murders and general chaos. Personally, I don't find that very scientific. Of course I didn't get enough schooling to be conditioned to think with such a double standard, so you have to keep that in mind.Were you equally concerned about crowds and protests when ya'll were rocking up to state houses to whine about wearing masks and shutdowns?

I need to refill my crazy pills.
Covid spread by "this" protest is fine, but by "that" protest is not.
Lolol. So, you just disregard the link I supplied literally stating that over a 1000 health officials endorse the protests? That's the "destruction of objective reality" I keep referring to right thereThere is a widely held consensus among the medical community that letting it rip is in general a bad idea given even conservative estimates project millions of deaths if that was the case. However i've yet to see a consensus from the medical community that allowing protests to continue is a good thing.
So in effect that was your 'social opinion' on the post. Ok.I used quotes to indicate paraphrasing.
No, just didn't buy the premise of a small group of Apes overthrowing humanity. And let's not start with the smart gas. I mean if it were that simple....Did you see that Planet of the Apes movie with James Franco?
Lolol. So, you just disregard the link I supplied literally stating that over a 1000 health officials endorse the protests? That's the "destruction of objective reality" I keep referring to right there
"Black people suffer from dramatic health disparities in life expectancy, maternal and infant mortality, chronic medical conditions, and outcomes from acute illnesses like myocardial infarction and sepsis. Biological determinants are insufficient to explain these disparities. They result from long-standing systems of oppression and bias which have subjected people of color to discrimination in the healthcare setting, decreased access to medical care and healthy food, unsafe working conditions, mass incarceration, exposure to pollution and noise, and the toxic effects of stress.[...]
While everyone is concerned about the risk of Covid, there are risks with just being black in this country that almost outweigh that sometimes. And the sad part is the group that is protesting for their rights are the same people who are already disproportionately affected by the disease," Hussein told CNN. "It's something they're doing because if they don't fight for this now, they may never be able to fight for it in the future, because while Covid is right now, and we don't know how long it's going to last, white supremacy and oppression has been a long way longer, and we can guarantee that it's going to continue if people don't do anything about it now."
So in effect that was your 'social opinion' on the post. Ok.
I think you have a fundamental problem distinguishing scientists (people, with beliefs and views) from science (facts, peer reviewed for veracity). They are not the same thing, but you seem to confuse them. Scientists are like everyone else in that they can have beliefs and views that you might not like. But that does not invalidate the scientific results they publish.
Vitamin D may be a factor in COVID-19, but in developed regions, fortifying foods with vitamin D is common and supplements are readily available. No one in the modern world has low vitamin D levels without some degree of dietary or medical neglect...and both tend to be more common the further down the socioeconomic ladder you go..
Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532266/In the United States, about 50% to 60% of nursing home residents and hospitalized patients had vitamin D deficiency. [8][9] Vitamin D deficiency may be related to populations who have higher skin melanin content and who use extensive skin coverage, particularly in Middle Eastern countries. In the United States, 47% of African American infants and 56% of Caucasian infants have vitamin D deficiency
A few hundred people forced their way into a gated community to protest, when they came to close to one of the houses the owners showed up with firearms, it could have gone bad really fast, first they had no training in handling the weapons, you could clearly see that, and they where scared. As I said it only take one spark to ignite this powder keg.
Vitamin D deficiency is a very common vitamin deficiency (hypovitaminosis) in Germany, if not the most common one. According to a study by the Robert Koch Institute, > 50% of all Germans have been found to have insufficient levels of Vitamin D in the blood.
