I'm being told on Twitter that vaccines are safe, they are very angry with me, not joking:

@Coyote you’re doing good work🤣 I’d join you but I’m permanently suspended from Twitter. Every time I open the app there is this big banner that says “Welcome Back” but I can’t tweet and they zero’d out my followers and followed accounts.

@madmike

It's just confronting fools with their own stupidity. When both had "PhD" next to their names, and can't support a single scientific claim, it mostly says our educational system is garbage. But we all knew that... 😂

@Coyote

Probably would help if next time you dont lead in with that hydrochloride stupidity. Yea there are legitimate concerns with the vaccines as they were rushed past the usual safety checks. But your other comments destroyed your credibility.

@madmike

@freemo @Coyote HCQ works and is safe and many many deaths would have been prevented if it were more widely used. There have been epidemiologists and virologists saying as much. They’ve been kicked off of Twitter and YouTube.

@madmike

Incorrect... while you can find epidemiologists and virologists that will believe just about any nonsense the overwhelming experimental evidence is that no, it is not effective and safe as a treatment for covid.

@Coyote

@freemo @madmike

I have about 450kbs, Just getting the browser to load to reply it’s challenging. Did not have a lot of research links on hand. Probably should keep a list.

@Coyote

Its not about the research links, I have read many on both side. Its the fact that you drew and incorrect conclusion about the medication as an effective general treatment, which it is not.

@madmike

@freemo

I disagree.

"Its not about the research links, I have read many on both side. Its the fact that you drew and incorrect conclusion about the medication as an effective general treatment, which it is not."

You have made two false assumptions.

First. That this is about treatment. It is not. It is about government, human experimentation, and harm.

Hydroxycloroquine being proven effective or not has no bearing on why it should be ban from use by the government of any country, now to the point malaria sufferers can not obtain treatment.

It is the governmental action I object to, not advocacy of the drugs effectiveness.

Second, the vaccine has shown to kill, in thousands. And, it's it's proponants who claim it's "safe" and you need to get it to be safe, that I strongly object to. It is, in fact, still an experimental drug. It has not shown to be "as safe" as hydroxycloroquine by comparison.

So my position is, denying one, an promoting the other as safe, is hypocritical. Because, it is.

It's not about which works. It's about which one the government, and the "experts" are promoting, and what lies they tell to promote it.

If it's safe, if it works, then get it approved, and have civil and criminal liability for it's effects. Promoting, and fucking "passports," and treating human rights differently to encourage the use of an experimental drug is unethical.


What's the first rule? Do no harm?

@Coyote Hydrochloride is not banned in the USA, the FDA revoked its emergency use for COVID but it is still very much allowed to be used for malaria.

I dont argue that the vaccine is an experimental drug, so that point is moot.

@freemo

Have you tried to get it? Because, there's like tons of Doctors taking to TicTok even arguing with pharmacists trying to get prescriptions filled.

It's a myth that it is "very much allowed."

It's OTC in many places in the world, but it's harder than ever to get here.

What's the moral justification for not allowing it OTC?

@Coyote I am well aware of the situation with hydrochloride. Yes it is hard to get, but not because its "banned" as you imply, but because of the sudden surge for doctors getting it trying to treat COVID rather than what it is actually used for. Even though the FDA withdrew its emergency use for COVID doctors can and still prescribe it which has caused a shortage. So not only are they killing their own patients faster but they are causing the people who actually need it to have trouble getting it due to the shortage.

@freemo

It has only been shown to kill patients faster in LATE STAGE, where it's somewhat mild normal risk to the heart is EXTREMELY higher.

@Coyote Wrong.. it has shown to kill patients at the dosage needed to have any statistical effect on COVID.. so either you take a low dose and it has no positive or negative effect and wont kill you but will do you no good, and cause people who really need the medicine not to get it. OR you take a high dose and while it has some minimal effect on COVID it kills you with a heart attack..

So again, it should NOT be used to treat COVID for the general population, period. You can argue that the vaccine is experimental too and shouldnt be on the market, I agree, but that is no excuse to start giving people a hydrochloride and killing them either.

@freemo @Coyote I don’t think we’re really arguing about HCQ anymore. Check your pocket for the other half of your red pill. There are 2 kinds of people. Those who still trust the “experts” and those who sprint furiously in the opposite direction. There won’t be agreement on this today and the only study that matters is the Lancet study because it exposed the bullshit shenanigans and political / media machinery behind the “science.”

No hard feelings, I enjoy the debate, and I actually like to be corrected when I'm wrong. And, I believe I am off (a bit) on a few things here. But I still don't like the government telling me what I can eat, drink, wear on my face, or put in my body. So, anyway, thanks both...

@10grans tip 0.01 to @freemo @madmike
@10grans @freemo @madmike

Watch it all happen at once now? Or I'm just an idiot that can't use a bot (speaking of being difficult to speak with any authority! LOL)
@freemo @10grans @madmike

@Moon I'm close to spending more than half, if not there yet, what am I doing wrong here (other than the obvious time I didn't have @fedi.cc on the bot name)
@Coyote if you want to tip multiple people, then do @10grans makeitrain .08 @freemo @madmike

and it should split it among everybody in the entire line.
@Moon @10grans @freemo @madmike

Awsome, now I can do this on hellthreads? FUCKING EPIC! where's my favorite hellthread, where's the one that I got called a "Based Psychoposter" ?

I take it 10grans doesnt actually exist as a ethereum token like the webpage says, just a joke?

It lists a contract address at the end but when i go there to check it out it is blank:

etherscan.io/address/0x0826180

@Coyote @10grans @madmike @Moon

@freemo @10grans @madmike @Moon

Dunno, only ever used them symbolically. Moon made them, kinda fun. Never really thought to look at the dollar value or backend. There was something cool it was doing I thought though?

@Coyote

I invest in a lot of crypto but wasnt really trying to look at it from an investment standpoint. Normally the contract address will tell you how many there are, who it has transfered tokens to, etc.

What made me curious though is if you just give someone a crypto token on here you'd need to know their wallet address to send it to, or have a way to withdraw it to a crypto wallet. But since i see nothing like that I presume that the cryptos arent really going at all, just a joke thing.. maybe im wrong

@10grans @madmike @Moon

@freemo @10grans @madmike @Moon

Useful to ubiq somehow or something I know nothing about I think?

@Coyote

Ok here ya go.. apparently there are 15,000 GRANS worth a total of 1.7 million... somehow im skeptical of that market cap :)

ubiqscan.io/address/0x0826180a

@10grans @madmike @Moon

@freemo @10grans @madmike @Moon

It's fun. Hell, if it ever paid my node rent, $5/month, I'd be happy.

@Coyote

haha, I dunno. the site comes off as its just a fun joke thing. But it does appear to be a legit smart contract on ubiq... still not sure how its transferring money to people without knowing their wallets though

@10grans @madmike @Moon

@freemo @10grans @madmike @Moon

Dude, half fedi is burner acounts that only have fedi logins and not even real email recovery setups. A token in a fedi account is something I feel I "own" as much as the dumb words I post. It's all fun and games now, until it funds some nefarious thing I am not paying attention to? Or, We all get rich!

@Coyote

No argument there, but doesnt change the fact that im curious what the deal is.. the tokens do seem be transfered around...

@10grans @madmike @Moon

@freemo @10grans @madmike @Moon I don't think they are traded on any exchange, are they? I mean, if they were, how... Ah, I don't want to think about it, makes it to hard to tip people for good conversations if I think about it as real money.

@10grans tip 0.001 to @freemo
@Coyote, you tipped 0.001 :10grans: to @freemo and have 0.808296666669999999 remaining.

@Coyote

They are indeed traded on an exchange, you can buy 10grans here (just need to buy UBIX with cash first if you dont have it):

shinobi.ubiq.ninja/swap?inputC

@10grans @madmike @Moon

@freemo @10grans @madmike @Moon

Dude, don't tell me they are worth something, I fucking tip BOTS... You're taking all the fun out of it...

@Coyote

HAHAHA they are worth something by the looks of it yea.. one one 10grans is worth 11.7$ by the looks of it, one GRANS is 117$

@10grans @madmike @Moon

@freemo @10grans @madmike @Moon

Ok, so I had 2, spent down to like 0.8, of a mythical thing that may have been worth $20, hardly worth the time to figure out how to transfer it into a wallet (which I don't have, have NO crypto IRL, just poor is all).

I'm ok with blowing $20 worth of "tip" money around every couple weeks, since it's free with the "beg" command anyway. I think good content is worth paying something for, I guess, so yea, I'll keep tipping bots too. I'm ok with this, I think...
