“This single change resulted in a significant inflation of COVID-19 fatalities by instructing that COVID-19 be listed in Part I of death certificates as a definitive cause of death regardless of confirmatory evidence, rather than listed in Part II as a contributor to death in the presence of pre-existing conditions, as would have been done using the 2003 guidelines.”

...

yet the guidelines from cdc still say part one is for listing the symptoms. where it lists the causal progression leading to death.
yes i reminded you when you first linked bigtree mentioning your quoted nonsense
it seems when you get debunked. you wait untill another conspiracy link says it. then you pretend you didnt get debunked because someone else quoted a lie.

i dont think you understand hoe facts work. a lie is still a lie even if a new person repeats it

im not a global warming freak
some parts of the world are getting colder too. so 'warming' is moot

climate change. well thats not caused by carbon. most of it is due to humans changing the land and thus the water cycle. its water that people need to think about
while you may read how jakarta and NY is seeing 'sea level rise' the actual fact is due to draining the underground aquifers and building on the land. the land is actually sliding into the sea... not the sea siding up the land.

on the other subject
..
but as noted by your last post you seem too interested in the canabis industry. so while i dont think its a fine day. i must also think you have been smoking it.
..
anyway if you want to compare 100 years of starvation vs 1 year of covid. well now your just grabbing air thinking it has substance.
..
did you know that there are many people that worked 60 hours a day and were not able to have 3 nice healthy meals a day
this is not due to no work. there is plenty of work. but the economy of wage vs bills is the issue. not the work

so if you think the solution is 'just put everyone back to work' .. you are wrong
its actually a societal/cultural/statistical fact. that the more a person works. the less they actually get to live on
statistical fact the toilet cleaner at mcdonalds works harder and longer then the CEO
...
the solution to starvation in developing countries is not that they dont want to work. its that many people are torn out and off their own land. and resettled far away where they cant just make new farms. because the plots they are settled on are the infertile land no one wants.

if you think starvation is due to lazyness.. please. again stop smoking THC and start doing more research if you are at all interested in the real causes
as you say starvation of 100 years.. cant be due to covid because covid is only 1year old. so you need to research the other 100 years.
the solution is not simply 'putting them to work'

..
i am however glad your neighbours/community are social distancing and not dry humping everyone they see. so yea im glad the covid cases are lower in your area. but remember if they took the social restrictions away and people start mingling again. without a vaccine. then they have not had any immunity and cases will spike in your area.
so throwing people back to work might let the dive-bars open for maybe 2-6 months. but then they need to close again when people get covid due to mingling again
(i dont beleive you dont have lockdown. your profile says USA. and your name suggest san fransisco bay area)
9063  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: February 19, 2021, 10:37:02 PM

funny part is. that the link you posted.. says everything moderna does say. he just dumbed it down
he does try a couple attempts to taint the info and sway the details into questions. but thats just him knit picking and leaving a few points open to intepretation

take for instance 7. the results
he shows a graph that moderna released. but then he sways the details to say the graph doesnt note the 'symptoms caused by the vaccination'
however earlier he did say the people that have allergic reaction is 1 in 100k
meaning in a study of 15k= less than 1 statistically.
heck add in the 1 of 1000 that have mild symptoms lasting more then 2 days
meaning in a study of 15k=15 statistically

so yes the stats are known by moderna and anyone reading moderna's published stuff.. so not secret.
he just takes a graph of one result and cries that it didnt include details from other results he wishes.
thats not hiding things. that just him complaining that he didnt get a bespoke graph with certain stats he wanted included.

so while he tries to slip in a question that maybe the vaccine has more people suffering symptoms.. the actual math, logic, stats of adverse symptoms would be:

the 185 placebo with covid..vs 27(instead of 11) vaccine with bad symptoms of covid or vaccine
meaning 86% better than just getting covid.. and by far.. not worse

yes he could have used his own research and come to the conclusion i just did. but he appears to leave it an open question for idiots to misinterpret

yes if you want to be bespoke you can say how many people got a 'boo boo' in their arm from the needle.
heck you can cry about how many people were not offered a canty lolliop after and thus had a bad expereince
and make the stats even more diversive. but thats just meandering away from the results of how effective it is against covid
which is placebo 185:11 vaccine = 94%

..
i gotta say however his details about the vaccine: 'fatty layer' and mrna codons is on point so he did atleast put good effort into the research and dumbing it down.. but his little openings of question. is he flaw
9064  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think COVID19 is a scam? on: February 19, 2021, 09:52:27 PM
You're aware that many of those "millions" weren't actually tested or anything, just "O he was around someone with a cough"? COVID.

Many of them were cancer people and broken hips...  COVID.

you do know that although there were many more millions that died with covid, coz of covid
the stats are far less than that

for instance the stats only include people that died within 1 month, even though alot of people actually stay on life support for over 30 days

also they only include the covid death count on those that were able to be tested.
what you actually find is the death count due to covid is much higher than the stats show.

yes millions die every year due to a multitude of reasons. but when an event happens where there is a significant increase in excess death due to a single reason as the trigger. then yep its a thing that needs to be handled

..
i know your inhaling THC and thinking 'stuff the causes of death,, lets relax the rules so my weed dealer can work the streets again'. but to the non idiots, people dying if it can be prevented is a higher priority than FIAT stability or economy or drug dealers
9065  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think COVID19 is a scam? on: February 19, 2021, 08:53:43 PM
So the idea this is a scam and the Globalist got their guy in office isn't even a thought to you fellas?

so a global plot was enacted to kill millions around the world just for biden?(facepalm)
i think you need to lay off the THC

covid is real but yes politicians can take advantage of real disasters. they dont need to make them up/happen

like the californian forest fires. started by some idiot with a campfire. (non political)
but politicians then take that event and start profiting from it politically

here in the UK we know covid is real but that does not mean we think politicians should get away with doing side deals.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56125462
yep within the next month we will get to see all the side deals the health minister done for his buddies who 'managed' PPE trades and equipment procurement
hundreds of millions went to waste as 'consultation fees'

it doesnt mean covids fake
it doesnt mean politicians didnt scam
but while you idiots are coming up with lame stories about political created virus. your being distracted about the reality of naturally created virus spread by normal people. and separetly government are profiting from it as an afterthought
9066  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think COVID19 is a scam? on: February 19, 2021, 08:01:22 PM

just like cases dropped 70% in 6 weeks from april to may last year
it dropped again from january/february

the reason
soclal restrictions

yep its caused by the lockdown. not by immunity.

if you just look at the case numbers and calculate the under 1% spread per fortnight. then to get to 60% would be more then 60 fortnights(120 weeks(2.4 years))

the true test of vaccination effectiveness in the community is not case drops during lockdown. but lack of hospitalisation case increases when lockdowns relaxed.
but they cant just relax lockdown fully in one go and 'wait and see' they need to get the cases down to a safe level. and then slowly relax the lockdown and keep the hospitalisation R rate below 1

what you will see logically with relaxation stages is instead of 2-3 week adjustments based on case numbers they will be 4-5 week stages based on hospital numbers

so dont plan on exotic foreign vacations for easter or summer. but you might get a domestic staycation in your area or in-country by summer
9067  Other / Serious discussion / Re: How much money is enough money? on: February 19, 2021, 12:31:09 AM
An ideal person or a person who knows how to handle money well set a goal to stop.

yes the ideal logic is 2x your salary.
1x means you can stop working and still get your income
1x for the new things you want to do with the new free time you have

but sometimes logic can surprise you.
once getting this logical 'contented' amount of 2x. your aspirations then raise up a level and your new higher level requires new standards and thus new income level.

EG
when your 20 you think if you can just get $300/w (~$7.50x40) then you just dont need to find a minimum wage job to survive,
bu then having that no-work lifestyle. and being 20. you want to hang out at bars and impress women. so you start spending more than you would if you were working and just going home each night.
so now you want $600/week(your 20yo ideal contented 2x lifestyle)

then at 21 you settle down with a woman and decide to get serious. marriage/kids. and suddenly more income is needed.
($10k wedding booked in 6 months needs over $400 a week saved up)
heck a $2400 a month wont pay all the bills and afford you a 3bedroom family home
after all your 20yo life only cost you $50 in food. but now your paying out $200 in food for you, wife and 2 kids. your electric and water has increased 4x too due to your family. so suddenly $1200 a week feels the same as $300 when you were single.
so yea maybe you think if you had $3600 a month, you can have $1200 a month extra spare cash. but that will only get you a $200k mortgage over 15 years. not exactly gonna get you a nice place you want to have your kids raised up in.

so when you were 20 thinking $300/w would be enough. a couple years later suddenly $900/w($3600/m) aint enough

$300/w might be ok if your content on being single all your life
but i guarantee you this. calculating a content life at 20 wont be a content life at 30
9068  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Investing is a question of guts on: February 19, 2021, 12:11:19 AM
guts is about bravery. courage. and leaping in situations many find dangerous
its not about minimal risk. guts and balls are about high risk.

if you can rationalise your decision via numbers and research. limit your risk by not having to sell your home if you lose and instead just not be able to buy a romantic meal for your wife for a month. then. its not longer guts/balls its just logic

if your investing where you need to be brave and there is a fear factor attached in making the decisions and also worrying about the loss.. then dont invest.

re-evaluate your risk to be something you can be comfortable with

EG
investing in your retirement by putting 6.5% of your income into a retirement investment is not something that need guts or bravery.
9069  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: February 18, 2021, 10:54:43 PM
I find it so weird that states with a low population density like Alaska or North Dakota have the highest percentage of vaccinated people while NY, California, and TX are not even close.

alaska surprisingly has more acute care hospitals. and less population per hospital
yes NYC might have loads of small clinics. but anchorage alaska has more main hospitals

anchorage: 24 acute hospitals for 300k (12.5k pop per hospital)
NY City: 62 acute hospitals for 8.4m (135k pop per hospital)

means that if say NYC can do 3% of population vaccines then anchorage can do 30% of population

same dosages per hospital
just more hospitals and less population

anyways back on topic
i dont see BG as someone thats doing any 'nano-bots' or 'lizard people mutations'

i just see him as someone thats grabs billions of dollars from government and non-government sources under the pretense of it being used for projects like covid/climate. and then only hands out 5% of it to actually go towards front line projects

he is always on the look out for the next global panic to syphon funds from
this does not mean the global panics are fake
this does not mean the solutions are fake
it just means that he profits in the middle of the global problem and the solution
9072  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bill Gates, Covid, Climate on: February 17, 2021, 11:13:03 PM
All things considered, COVID has a 99.9 percent survival rate. Ebola, on the other hand, has a 50-60 percent survival rate. This could have been a lot worse.

covid is actually about 92-98% survival
however with interventions this 2-8% deathrate comes down to percentages you mention

yep social distancing, isolating and masks has reduced viral load amounts. meaning less of a severe fight to battle
also getting those remaining severe people to a hospital and given oxygen treatments and other stuff reduces it to your quoted amounts

but take for instance the incidences in the cruise ships a year ago and in nursing homes that dont follow social distancing and dont offer taking residents to hospital due to DNR. the death rate is 2-8% in those not having any medical/health precautions to mediate the risk

so thinking masks aint needed and hospitals are not needed due to your presumed 0.1%.. is wrong. its only now down to 0.1% because of the social restrictions, masks and healthcare
9073  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Coronavirus Outbreak on: February 17, 2021, 10:44:48 PM
others to wear their masks all the time,

yet again no one. no where suggests "all the time"
even common sense tells you to only wear one when in public in areas that social distancing is more difficult

seems your a monochrome guy.a binary guy that only knows the 2 extremes sides. and cant grasp the multiple options/levels in the middle where normal people exist

to you its never or all the time. you cant grasp the middle common sense advice of wear when needed.

its been 10 months and you cant even grasp the basic advice

Decentralised Government - DEGOV


It would be easy. Simply make it lawful that only people could access the banking system and money... and ...that artificial entities - including government and corporations - could not.

government own the courts. they set up the policies and procedures of court.
citizens cant just make their own laws or declare a new territory/jurisdiction that follows some other policy/law

seriously stop sniffing the freeman glue. its not how the real world works

Actually, government doesn't own the courts. The courts are public. Citizens can use them. But citizens aren't effective until they stand as a man/woman, unrepresented, rather than as a citizen.

member of the public. is just like saying member of a gym
a gym member does not own the gym. its just a member

public transport does not mean citizens own the train. they are just part of a membership allowed to use the train.

you dont own the train. you dont own the gym. you dont own the court.

edit (to answer below)
its government court. just look how its funded. look at the laws that it follows and who created them. look at the court process policies and who created them (DoJ).
the courts are set up and managed by government department and only allow member to use them. yes people are members of the public. not court owners
you can go to the gym and suggest upgrades the gym should make. but they dont have to listen.
yes some suggestions might seem as a business benefit to the gym so they give it a try. but that does not mean gym members get to call the shots

dont be angry that government advise you to wear a mask when in public to reduce the amount of virus breathed out/in.. because that science is actually true

get mad that government know masks are needed for true health protection. and so the politicians employ their best friends as consultants to manage the shipment of masks. yep big business in just being a manager overseeing the order/delivery of masks

dont get mad that vaccines are effective
dont lie and pretend they are not
dont get mad that vaccine companies make $1 a vaccine which will equate to billions within 1-2 years all totalled
instead get mad that governments best friends make more than $1 in the shipment to hospitals

dont get mad at the healthcare system helping people. get mad at the middle men 'project managers' profiting in times of need
9078  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Decentralised Government - DEGOV on: February 17, 2021, 10:10:45 PM
alot would have to change
although there are very few 'dictatorship' governments left(north korea/UAE)
where by democracy is a representative quasi-decentralisation. EG 100 senators(US) / 650 MP's(uk)
the democracies are still centralised by having 2 fighting philosophies where the supposed decentralised representatives listen more to the group philosophy than to the citizens they represent.

making a ICO of a new coin that promotes more decentralised government wont get far. because your not the government to implement it. so it wont get implemented

many ico have been made. but dont get anywhere.
many ICO have done transaction formats that set a transaction where the fee is 10% of the amount moved. where by that 10% can be set to different 'projects'

EG alice 1c->bob 0.9c
               ->developers 0.03c
               ->miners 0.03c
               ->charity 0.04c

where by the future goal was to expand/replace the 3 network infrastructure tax projects for 10 governmental infrastructure

like
EG alice 1c->bob 0.9c
                ->military 0.008c
                ->police 0.022c
                ->justice 0.017c
                ->fire/rescue 0.008c
                ->road maintenance 0.008c
                ->social security 0.001c
                ->public water 0.003c
                ->public electric 0.005c
                ->public transport 0.001c
                ->healthcare 0.027c

where by the citizens are more in control of which direction the government departments prioritise for their policies
this idea was revised to have a minimum budget per department like 0.08% per department(0.8% total) to allow a 0.2% to be citizen allocated as excess funding for their favourites.

but even this didnt play well for those scrutinising the dynamics and running scenarios of effectiveness

so even if you can find a decentralised and fair way to fund social problems without needing a leader/central point. you are still going to run into the biggest issues of getting a government to adopt it
9079  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think COVID19 is a scam? on: February 17, 2021, 07:27:24 PM
A scam is making a profit, or making decisions in your favor, in a not entirely legal way.

in which case the anti-vax homeopath/herbal/suppliment salesmen are the scammers

Many decades ago, government cracked down on the scammers/snake oil salesmen. These salesmen realized that they were done for in this business.

Then the shrewder of the snake oil salesmen, got into government and pushed for things like the AMA, the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, etc. These government agencies and others like them, became the new snake oil salesmen.

nah.. they started doing pyramid scams for snake oil products where they didnt become the direct salesman but instead they had 'independent agents' selling and recruiting. thus alleviating them of the 'snake oil salesmen' tag and instead just being a drop shipper

yep all the multi level marketing promotions you get emailed about that try to hook you up on vitamin and supplement deals.. yep they are pyramids

what you dont realise is by you fan girling them. you get put onto a suckers list and you get handed more scammy stuff and pulling you deeper into the rabbit hole of scammy conspiracies and influencers
9080  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: February 17, 2021, 07:24:48 PM
If there was no global pandemic and no vaccines there would be another reason to go on the streets rampage.

you summed it up in one sentence, bar one minor detail
as most citizen antivaxxers dont go to the streets to get angry/cause chaos. they stay in the basement and just spread their idiocy on social media
