The Sound Of Deplorable Science

The Deplorables There Goes The Narrative Unsettled Science 21 Comments

It was known for decades that the Appalachian culture was inbreeding because of all the birth defects that were in the culture that turned out to be… bad nutrition. (Which was why, BTW, the DOD introduced the School Lunch Program back in the late 1940s. To cut down the rate of 4F from childhood nutrition deficiencies.)

Now, with DNA, we can peer into the past of the Appalachian culture and show that those toothless (from poor nutrition) rednecks were…

Not actually sleeping with their daughters. The DNA shows no higher rate of actual incest in traditional Appalachian culture than in the general background of the US.

Blacklocks- Vax Unpopular With Nurses

A large number of health care workers including most nurses surveyed were reluctant to take Covid shots over fear of side effects, says in-house Public Health Agency research. “Many critical questions remain,” said the first-ever study of vaccine hesitancy among Canadian medical staff: “The prospect of losing their employment played a role in their decision to get vaccinated.”

National Post- The Fall: My once-vibrant dad emerged broken from the hospital. Then he was gone

Falls are all-too common among the elderly and often foretell a deterioration in health.

It is the cause of 85 per cent of all injury-related hospitalizations among seniors in Canada, according to Health Canada. And rates have been increasing. Twenty to 30 per cent of seniors experience at least one fall a year and many, like my father, land in hospital as a result.

Spend a bit of time in an emergency department and it won’t take long to realize that many of those ambulances making their way to hospitals, lights flashing, are carrying an older person who has fallen.

Hurry up and wait…

I would only fully understand later how dangerous that time in a bed or a stretcher can be for the elderly. Every day, every hour, starts a downward slide of mobility and overall physical and mental health, which often prolongs their hospital stay in a dangerous feedback loop. That is especially true for the elderly.

For every day an older person spends lying in bed, it takes two days to recover the strength and function that has been lost. It also takes just eight hours lying on a stretcher for a frail elderly patient’s skin to begin to break down, which could lead to debilitating pressure ulcers, or bed sores. Typical waits in many Ontario emergency departments are nearing the 20-hour mark, but can sometimes be higher.

Telegraph- Trans-women’s milk as good as breast milk, says NHS trust

For a person born male to breastfeed, they must develop milk-producing glands by taking the hormone progestin.

A drug is required to lactate, such as domperidone, which is often prescribed to women struggling to breastfeed, and helps to stimulate the production of prolactin – a separate hormone that tells the body to produce milk.

Domperidone, also known by the brand name Motilum, was not intended for this, but is prescribed off-label by doctors, despite the manufacturer, Janssen, itself recommending against it because of possible side effects to a baby’s heart.

Making It All Make Sense

In the Reader Tips before the last one, SDA regular ‘richfisher’ pointed out that Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Benz was a much watch. This partially emanated from a recent Scott Adams podcast episode, in which he asked a whole lot of questions about various happenings in the world the past 10 years that just don’t make any sense. So why are they happening? Adams extrapolated some of the key points of what Benz said in the interview, did some of his own research, and added his own insight. The start of this portion of his much longer podcast can be watched here. Think of it as “The Unifying Theory Of Modern Insanity” (TUTOMA).

Update: Some have suggested that this law change, in 2016, is what has permitted the CIA and U.S. Military Complex to turn its extensive forces on the American people.

Presumably, the way to “redress the visual narrative that LGBTQIA+ people look a certain way” is to celebrate the existence of dysmorphic and autogynephile men who are also devotes of bondage and sadomasochism, and who like to share photos of themselves posing with sex toys while flashing their collection of ladies’ knickers to random passers-by.

It also seems that the way to become more authentically “queer” – to express one’s true, inner self and who one really is – is to elaborately accessorise and play dress-up, and to pretend to be something that, by definition, one isn’t.

Other John Lewis employees highlighted in the Identity Project include an in-store nursery advisor and enthusiast of the ‘pup’ and ‘furry’ communities, and who is helpfully pictured wearing a bondage harness. Because that’s the mental image you want when shopping for baby paraphernalia.

When I saw this latest interview with Dr. Clare Craig, author of Expired: Covid: The Untold Story, the first thing I thought of was why we never see any Canadian doctors speaking out against the standard narrative regarding Covid. Maybe that’s just another facet of “Canadian exceptionalism”, except that in this case it’s something to be ashamed of.

“…they must not allow themselves to be frightened by stories of a disease X no matter how frightening the stories are because it’s destructive to people’s mental health it’s destructive to their rational thinking and once you lose rational thought we end up in a crazy world again…”

 

 

Misunderstanding Tucker Carlson

Baiting The Left Baiting the Right Political Animal 106 Comments

Here is an interesting discussion between two gentlemen who I generally respect and watch often. They’re talking about Tucker Carlson’s recent missives from Russia. While they make a few good points, I believe they mostly have misunderstood why Carlson is publishing the videos he has. Here are a few comments on this video that much more resonate with me:

The left/right divide is simply not the crux of the struggle in the West. It’s elitism vs populism.

Pointing out the cleanliness and safety of Moscow’s underground works even better for Western Europe. Until quite recently we had that. Most people who live today in Paris, Berlin, Rome etc. can remember a time when public spaces where clean and safe. Then politics moved dramatically to the left and we have a world in which the lives of ordinary people has become highly susceptible to crime, financially precarious and public spaces look like shit. There is a disconnect between the upper echelons of politics and ordinary people. If it goes on for too long, the consequences could be grave indeed. The majority of people are utterly disappointed with politicians, if that doesn’t change over the next couple of years through democratic change at the top, people will indeed question the entire political system.

It’s not complicated. Our cities are crumbling while our leaders take care of other countries. We grew up being told Moscow was a shit hole. He’s using it for an example of how we’ve been lied to. Also, it shows by comparison how bad cities are. He’s not saying overall Russia is great. He’s simply highlighting how far we’ve slipped. Not complicated.

What do you think?
