I realise that a lot of obese people's fat started out as sugar, and that refined carbohydrates generally are not satiating, and tend to stimulate over eating, but the way people were talking on AQ and also Any Answers you would think that sugar was a poison, and possibly radioactive.

Whether this is a higher percentage than the general populous is irrelevant. Because these people attended a "medical" that told them they were fit. There were obviously flaws with the medical in a lot of cases, too many to be brushed under the carpet. But if they were being assessed for the extent...

Silver agrees with herd immunity. He's even posted an article which agrees with it. He just doesn't believe in it when the immunity is conferred by vaccination rather than naturally. He's quite happy to risk illness and death so that it's only natural immunity that's possible. NATURAL HERD IMMUNITY...

No. Don't be deliberately obtuse. the vaccinations in question are listed as 97% effective. It protects 97 out of 100 little kiddies vaccinated. those who are unable to be vaccinate, or the 3% of those for whom it is NOT effective are the entire reason why it is so important to try to maintain some...

The anti-vax 'argument' on this thread is now crazy and offensive.

Many people didn't really die gruesome deaths from haemorrhagic fever in the Ebola outbreak? So, presumably, the medics and others who went out there to help didn't really risk their lives?

Shameful, truly shameful.

Has Corbyn said anything in the course of the leadership campaign about unions: role in the LP? political donations? closed shop? law on striking? etc I doubt it its not really something that is an issue for the general populous It seems to be an issue for right wing reactionary idiots but not real...

Silver makes my point exactly, his ego has no restraint, conspiracy cranks think they're all something special, only they can see what is really happening. Almost everyone thinks they are special.

One last time about the mortality graphs... Mortality has gone down because over time we have developed better ways of treating the effects of illness and prolonging life. But the incidence of infectious disease didn't reduce until vaccines were available. Post graphs of disease incidence instead, g...

The remaining reports reflect serious adverse events involving life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, permanent disability, or death, which may or may not have been caused by a vaccine.

The nice thing about science, which many of those who like to call it a belief system fail to understand, is that it is a system that can overcome our normal human failing. It doesn't just look for evidence that it's theories are correct, but actively tried to prove that they are not. And this work...

What about strawberry jam, does that cause autism? Or Tupperware? Or reading in bed? Or chlorine in swimming pools? Or air conditioning? If you don't know what causes autism why suppose or speculate that MMR does? If you believe there's evidence then the study linked to above disproves it. So why c...

Leicester elected a new Govt (1885) that was opposed to compulsory vaccination. By 1887 the vaccination coverage rates had dropped to 10%. Leicester enjoyed better success against smallpox than other towns in England that were highly vaccinated. In the 1893 smallpox outbreak, the well vaccinated di...

Meme is fine, though a choice to spread the vaccines always seemed sensible , enough people were missing ones out so I suppose it makes sense.

But all the research is fixed by Big Pharma BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT MONEY.

Even his minuscule study didn't actually give the results he wanted - so he just stated in his conclusions that he felt MMR was to blame, despite his own data not backing him up. Wakefield (who is still working in the USA, I believe) should have faced criminal charges for the reckless endangerment ...

Dangerous incompetence - which can be momentary - in rugby attracts red, justifiably. Rugby's a game where the players have a duty of care to each other that goes beyond not being reckless. The game has to be played with adequate judgment or else people get very badly hurt. Most focus is on competen...

People who don't use their indicators on roundabouts. There's a roundabout in Muswell hill and they just swing off it without signaling. Twats.
