I read this double negative as stating that your calculations show the data is consistent with the "ghost" being a human runner that is blurred because of the camera technology employed. You seem to also suggest that the lack of further evidence makes this the simplest and most likely...

I found an excellent overview paper on the gastrointestinal issues that spanned all relevant papers published in 2020. It suggests to me that there is no simple link. I found the idea most surprising that nutrition (fiber!) can have an impact on viral disease. Van der Lelie et al. have...

Especially since some of the preconditions for severe Covid and GI problems overlap.

I'd love to read an account of how that went, maybe in the "General Discussion" subforum.

From your first link: Infection of the gut, which expresses high levels of the ACE2 receptor protein that SARS-CoV-2 uses to enter cells, is correlated with more severe cases of COVID-19, but the exact interactions between the virus and intestinal tissue is difficult to study in human patients...

Thank you! My main gripe with @NorCal Dave 's summary of "COVID might cause GI issues" is that it sounds monocausal, while nobody in the original article (which I had looked at to be certain) suggested a monocausal link. They report on anecdotal evidence of a correlation between Covid and GI...

Here's a fun study for the fans of long-term side effects and "natural immunity": long-term side effects from mild cases of Covid in Hamburg, Germany. The university/hospital that published this has a good reputation. Elina Petersen et al., Multi-organ assessment in mainly non-hospitalised...

No, nobody says that Covid causes this. The experts and the writer seem well aware that correlation does not imply causation. (One possible explanation not mentioned could be that, due to a hygiene deficiency, a stomach bug could have become established at the hospital, and transmitted amomg...

The study used 14 participants with no control group. Their therapeutic method is not "ridiculous" per se; the problem with the study is that it lacks a control group (that ought to be randomly chosen, and administered double-blinded). This problem makes it impossible to determine whether the...

I found a good paper on the state of mRNA vaccine technology in the year 2018. multiple mRNA vaccine platforms against infectious diseases and several types of cancer have demonstrated encouraging results in both animal models and humans. This Review provides a detailed overview of mRNA...

FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epstein's private island in the Caribbean on Monday in a vivid display that the probe into his alleged sex trafficking ring is continuing despite his death.

Claim 2: "First to use mRNA vaccine technology against an infectious agent" Counterexample: Moderna trialled mRNA vaccines against the Zika virus in two 13-month clinical trials with 90 and 120 participants in 2016 and 2019. Study Start Date : December 21, 2016 Actual Primary Completion...

Back in time, particularly following the outbreak of SARS-CoV in 2002, vaccines against the emerging virus were also developed, a few of which reached phase I clinical trials; yet, did not achieve the final stages and obtain the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as the...

I think their use of "attempt" puts them on the hook. The first attempt to climb Mount Everest did not reach the summit. For an attempt, it's enough (in my reading) that some work had been undertaken that could be built upon for the 2020 vaccines. They should have written "first developed" or...

It's common practice to list the editor as co-author in some journals. Greg Nigh would be the original "researcher", if this is what happened here.

No, that's not what they did. You called it "ridiculous", but in my eyes, the things you enumerate are fine: what makes it ridiculous is the absence of a control group.

If I wanted to debunk this, I might start looking at the claims on page 2: I'm fairly sure that 2 (HIV), 4, 5, 6, 7 (old SARS should qualify as "attempt") are false. 1 is false, see "A Study of the Polyethylene Glycols as Vehicles for Intramuscular and Subcutaneous Injection" (1952). 3 is...

Proper peer review requires that articles be reviewed before publication - and even then, false claims sometimes get through. If a journal publishes anything, it's not peer-reviewed, it's just a fanzine.

Because we can design it for a building crashing into it, and not just an airliner? The way to prevent total collapse would have been to prevent the top from tilting as a block; but it did that by design to counter wind loads. A structure that allows for partial collapse can't be one-dimensional.

We have administered millions of doses now, and that's how the AZ blood clotting issues were found. Some studies use health system data, so I expect there ought to be something bigger than this phase 3 clinical trial. It's a sufficient trial size to demonstrate safety. 6 months. Mortality is...
