One of the main skeptic/conspiracy playbook sayings is about "follow the money." Whether it's Fauci or Gates earning billions. Or the mainstream healthcare community is lying because they don't want to impact their revenue or individual salaries.

When someone starts to say that people are solely motivated by money, it's more of an indictment of the person who is making the comment because that is how they would act. Apparently if they see some unethical or illegal behavior at work, they are going to look the other direction. Every comment is an admission of guilt.

 

Follow the money is actually good advice, but it takes research to actually follow the money.  Dr. Offit who was criticized for raking in million upon millions to have his vaccine make our kids autistic actually didn't make that much.  He claimed he bought his house with the bonus money in an interview.   It was a nice house, but not exactly a Saudi Palace.   Follow the money works, but like everything else the morons do, they fail because they don't put in the work and they don't care about being accurate.

I guess you haven’t looked at the Big 12’s academics in a while. Other than Texas, it’s a bit downsy

yeah, color me extremely surprised when I went to look up info to prove that we were moving to a scholastically inferior conference only to discover it is a pretty big step up. Current Big 12 average: #139. Current SEC average: #111. UT (#42) will be #3 in the conference behind Vandy (#14) and Florida (#30). OU will slot in tied with Kentucky at 133 for the #10/11 spots in the conference. Still can't wrap my head around how bad the schools in our current conference are, especially compared to what I perceived as inferior schools and in an athletically superior conference. Turns this is a probably a good move for us . Not the result I was expecting anyway

No way.  A&M is the best school in the SEC.  Everybody says that.  Vanderbilt?  Psh.

I think any ranking that doesn't normalize to things like "student-to-professor ratio", etc. puts Texas above Florida and Georgia.  Make of that what you will, doesn't really matter.

I think UT has been leading that conference academically, indirectly, since the new admissions kicked in, and many an SEC school has huge contingents of Texans who would have gone to UT a generation ago.

Season 4 What GIF by The Office

There was a doctor who created a vaccine, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy would cite him as one of the causes of the rise in Autism and how he made millions upon millions for creating a vaccine.   Offit responded in an interview, that if he was only in it for the money, he would have worked on a daily drug, not something taken once or twice in their life.  He added that he did get a bonus but that it was enough to buy a house, not something to set him for life.

God...I love this so much.  Want to know WHY he was featured in Sports Illustrated?  https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2013/01/29/deer-antler-extract-alabama-crimson-tide-players-cease-and-desist-swats/1875951/

Quote

The University of Alabama sent cease and desist letters to the operators of the S.W.A.T.S. (Sports With Alternatives to Steroids) in 2009 and last October after learning of its involvement with Crimson Tide football players, but said the company had ignored them.

According to a story published Tuesday on Sports Illustrated's website (SI.com), Christopher Key and Mitch Ross, partners in the sports supplements company, which is based in a Birmingham suburb, supplied products including deer-antler spray and stickers they said would ward off disruptive radio waves. The story detailed several Alabama players, including defensive end Quinton Dial and linebackers Alex Watkins and Adrian Hubbard, gathering in a New Orleans hotel room before the 2012 BCS championship game, where Ross and Key pitched the products. It also said in 2008 Ross "staked out the Alabama football facility, waiting to give players hologram stickers."

Wanna know why the "government seized everything he owned?"  https://www.wbrc.com/story/23355069/swats-fitness-owners-charged-with-260-counts-of-deceptive-trade-practice-violations/

Quote

MONTGOMERY—Attorney General Luther Strange has been granted a temporary restraining order to stop a Birmingham-area company from selling products that not only claim incredible health and athletic benefits that are unsupported, but the use of which may also present significant dangers to consumers. In a civil complaint filed today along with a motion for the temporary restraining order, Attorney General Strange charged SWATS Edge Performance Chips, LLC and its principal officers—Mitchell Ross and Christopher Key—with at least 264 counts of Deceptive Trade Practices Act violations.

The Attorney General cited extensive evidence that the defendants' alleged violations pose a threat of immediate and irreparable injury. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Caryl P. Privett also granted the Attorney General's request to appoint a receiver and take necessary steps to preserve assets. As a result, approximately $200,000 in cash and vehicles were seized this afternoon, and GlassRatner Management and Realty Advisors, LLC, has been appointed as a receiver to protect consumers' interests. A hearing for a preliminary injunction is set for 9 a.m. on September 19.

SWATS is a Wisconsin limited liability company doing business in Alabama in the Jefferson County city of Fultondale. The Attorney General's complaint describes the company's operators as "two men with no advanced medical or scientific background (who) practice their homespun versions of medicine, science, and pharmacology through SWATS, their self-styled supplement and wonder-drug outlet near Birmingham. Limited only by what their imagination can conjure, Ross and Key will say and sell anything under the premise of boosting athletic performance."

The complaint notes that "since forming in January 2011, SWATS has rapidly expanded into a million-dollar business through a combination of controversy, shock advertising, and the declaration that its products are world leaders in the sports performance industry." With an advertising blitz that includes a massive RV emblazoned with its logos, YouTube videos with experts who include a doctor (actually not of medicine, but of theology), and a news conference before the 2013 Super Bowl in New Orleans, defendants "have asserted that they have 'the NFL concussion problem solved' and that SWATS products 'can reverse the symptoms of ALS [Lou Gehrig's Disease],' 'knock out the swine flu in 90 minutes', and treat diabetes."

In fact, the complaint notes, "spanning nearly every aspect of the human body and its performance, SWATS advertises that its products will reduce your risk of cancer, alleviate anemia, control blood pressure, stimulate muscle growth, increase testosterone, grow new brain cells, prevent heat stroke, 'reduce the long-term effects of concussive trauma to the brain,' boost the immune system, ease arthritis and inflammation, reduce lines and wrinkles, balance the hormones necessary for healthy sexual function, increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, promote weight loss, and deliver anti-aging proteins." Regarding any scientific basis for these remarkable claims, Key said, "We don't have to prove that this is real or not. What we're looking for is for [science] to prove that it is not real."

Anti-vaxxers.....these are your standard-bearers.  FABULOUS.

The guy warned that deer antlers could cause unwanted radio waves to penetrate your body?  I guess 'cause they look like antenna kind of?  

I mean, I get that you can't admit you were wrong about Trump and Covid-19.  I get it.  It's embarrassing to go back on shit like that, I'm guilty of it myself with regard to other beliefs in my life.  

But this piss guy?  This, "I have special stickers for you to block them negative waves, man!" huckster.  

I mean, come the fuck on.  Even if you're not actively buying his shit...it's your attitudes that allow crap like this to permeate decent society.  When is enough, enough? 

When can you finally take a step back from Covid-19 lies you've been fed and realize "Fuckin-A, me drinking bleach is like only the 7th craziest thing I believed from my team during this pandemic."  ???

No need to check out heart problems. It's the vax! Think of all the money you'll save on a cardiologist!

100% evidence that the vaccine has led to his still-undiagnosed heart condition.

Its a certainty that the makers of the vaccines will get hit with lawsuits for years. Perhaps they're fully protected but I don't think that will stop lawyers from trying. "Did you have any medical condition within 10 years of the vaccine? Call our specialists at 1800-CLASSACTION to secure your place to protect your rights"

From a quick google search, the US military is claiming that active duty personnel are vaccinated, or have an exemption, in the high 90 percentiles. The Marines were the lowest percent at 95 in December. Perhaps the Marines Reserves are lower due to their non-active status but I can't believe that most reservists are that prone to not following orders. Or as stated, they already had one foot out the door for some reason and this makes them a hero at the Thanksgiving table.

I'd have to dig it up again, but the Army said they are keeping unvaccinated soldiers in, making them serve their full term, but they are ending their careers - not eligible for promotions and I think they are getting stuck with really shitty jobs, and they may also get a loss of some benefits. Forgot what all it was, but basically the Army was going to make sure a bunch of idiots didn't use the vaccine as a way to get out early.

I'm guessing its caused by the blood rushing to his penis when he watches the latest Madison Cawthorne "pew, pew, pew" Tweet

It really isn't.  If you checked out the Flat Earth Society documentary on Netflix you would see all of the same playbook talking points from one fringe group to another.  When you couple that with peoples need to feel accepted in society and how social acceptance is one of our primary motivators, then you can understand how when political group spreads obvious lies they all just go along with it and then whip themselves into a frenzy.   Hell the rocket guy in the show didn't really believe in the flat earther views but he took their money and used it to make a rocket and he ultimately started buying it more and more.  Not because of the excellent science he was presented with, but rather because he welcomed into a group.   
This is all about belonging into a group.  The right is full of people who have malleable morals/beliefs that will change with the political winds.  They are on the right because they want to identify that way, it is why they are so militant and angry, because deep inside they know they are wrong.   
 

That’s why you want to get jumped in the cult, and not fucked in like Cruz.

The surgeons basically grate burnt cheese off of your body over and over and over again until you either ask for comfort care or die from infection. I can't think of anything worse to watch, short of sexual violence, than a person surviving a major burn. Anything more than 10% BSA is an instant ICU admission, and unless you're in a burn center, the doctors are probably learning how to care for major burns while caring for you. The standards and best practices are constantly changing.

We had five self-immolations and countless accidental burns last year, and they played a more than minor role in my departure from the bedside. I would rather crisis nurse for COVID than take burns again. I still have nightmares. 

I remember seeing pictures of people jumping from the WTC. If the options were being burned alive or plunging head first into the pavement, I can understand why they did what they did.

All of the old Big XII schools that left are currently higher than the current Big XII average, and that really hurt the conference profile.  Adding TCU was good, adding WVU was not. The old Big XII would probably have been in the same ballpark as the old SEC.
