There are are a lot of "outliers."

Is the rhetoric an outlier? Sure. Are there an alarming amount of people threatening violence on school board members and government officials who are mandating masks on kids in schools? Yeah.Quote:

We should outlaw alcohol. And if you disagree, then you don’t care about the people who are killed each year. You should be willing to give up your right to drink so that they may live.
See how that works? What would be the fallacy to this argument?

… except we’ve already given up our right to drink and drive because of the potential to hurt others. Even you.Quote:

It's around 10,000 deaths a year.
For a comparison, we passed 10,000 COVID deaths at the beginning of April 2020.
Just the most absurd argument.
But people still do it right? If you outlawed alcohol then it would drastically reduce the number of deaths per year.Quote:

Yes people still drink and drive, and they will still do so even if all alcohol is outlawed.Quote:

This is an article about the court that ordered an Ohio hospital to give Ivermectin to a patient.

Imagine being a doctor in an ICU filling with people and some quack gets a judge to force you to give a treatment that you have no evidence works. It has to be incredibly frustrating.
I got hit with their paywall real quick. Unfortunately that means I won't be able to read the article itself. But this is nonsense from what I was able to see before the paywall went up.Quote:

They did say that the hospital made them sign a release so they couldn't be held liable if anything adverse happened due to the Ivermectin.Quote:

People are going to treat this one case like it matters in the grand scheme of whether or not Ivermectin works on COVID.
So it’s 650,000 then?Quote:

What other causes of death have taken 650,000 (that number is inflated cause we know excess mortality is not that high) lives in the last year and half?
