Wick's pencil comments

Yep. Just have a sedentary lifestyle and keep eating those pizza and chips on your couch while watching CNN. You'll lose weight.

...if you get one of those new drugs (ozempic, wegova...).

Keep in mind this is an article from The Conversation.

A bit hard to believe Russians would be wasting their precious missiles on targeting farm storage warehouses unless there was something inside different from just "grain, peas and barley."

Yes.

Just like when Russia hit a pizza place a few weeks ago. The MSM only mentioned the few civilian casualties, with no mention of the many foreign soldiers that were under the rubble.

Were they taken away from their parents, without their consent?

Good question!

People who suggest there are simple solutions to problems that would have clearly been fixed long ago if it actually were that simple, are, well, simple. They lack the ability to see that the real world doesn't actually conform to their simple mindset, and therefore, it isn't actually as simple as they are.

Unfortunately, other solutions are often provided by nutritionists who attend conferences sponsored by companies like Frito lay and Coca Cola.

There are effective solutions that are not all that difficult, and without the known side effects of the above drugs.

Too bad we never hear about these solutions.

I agree Russia was provoked.

But invading Ukraine wasn't the only option to deal with the problem

That might be true. But they had to do something. Putin knows this is a proxy war, by a regime that wants to destroy Russia. The West tricked Putin into accepting the Minsk agreement.

Putin now realizes that the West cannot be trusted, and it is up to him to guarantee Russia's safety. I get increasingly worried whenever Kishida goes along with the West's warmongering; he should stay out of it and maintain good relations with Russia.

Russia already attack Ukraine unproved. What world are you living in?

I'm living in the real world. This conflict did not start in 2022. Putin warned Ukraine and the West for a long time. Russia was very much provoked. The Biden admin did everything they could to provoke Russia into attacking.

Be careful Japan, I get an uneasy feeling that the US is planning a proxy war between China and Japan.

Yes, I get that feeling too every time Kishida does anything related to foreign policies.

Still Putin's War. Still China's aggression against Taiwan.

Unlike the US, Russia and China will not attack any country unless provoked.

And this Gen Milley is the one who wanted to attack Iran, but was fortunately stopped by Trump, according to the infamous "classified document".

Tokyo's controversial push for a stronger military crucial to confront rising threats from North Korea and China.

They should instead be concerned with rising threats from the US, who always seem to want to pick a fight with other countries.

What is extremely irresponsible and misleading is to not adequately test the safety of vaccines, especially long term, and then pretend they are perfectly safe.

It would be nice if Japan was strong enough to not need NATO and still stand up for itself and Taiwan. 

Japan is not all that weak.

And all the help NATO countries gave Ukraine hasn't done any good.

After the next US election if Trump or RFK wins.

What other options are there? 

Peace!

It’s laughable when the biggest polluters are politicians and government, the ones asking us to cut down on power use while they are the mos profligate users!

If they truly believed what they were claiming, they wouldn't do that. They are in it for the money.

Remdesivir is not supported by data, it doesn't work and is very toxic. But because it is very expensive, it was quickly approved....

Baseless accusations about conspiracies that can be disproved with examples like dexamethasone are not arguments, they are excuses for not having arguments.

How does dexamethasone disprove Rawbeer's comment? Dexamethasone is not an antiviral?

Remdesivir was shown to be very dangerous, and it didn't work.

I'm sure that when the next pandemic comes, I will ignore all government recommendations, and I will likely do the opposite of what you recommend.

Yes, reports from different sites explicitly says the infection was confirmed by testing.

But was the infection confirmed to be the cause of death? No. Especially when you consider that this was "the world's first death by the possibly tick-borne infection".

covid, but that is obviously not a possibility here.

Many more people have died from myocarditis caused by....

She died of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, 26 days after she was hospitalized.

These cases are becoming more prominent in the past few years.

Yes, very much so.

Fear mongering starting? Nothing in the article points to the Oz virus as the cause of death.

Yeah - apart from the fact that it mentions it has been medically confirmed.

Has it been confirmed?

She died of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, 26 days after she was hospitalized.

making her case the world's first death by the possibly tick-borne infection

The article is about the origins of covid, so why a pic of vaxxes?

Regarding the article, I never trust anything US "intelligence" says.

Guides were even published letting people know how to keep a healthy lifestyle during lockdowns.

Did they include information about the importance of vitamin D, sun exposure, and zinc for fighting off Covid?

VitD's important benefits against Covid19 was known very early during the pandemic, and this has since been supported by many peer reviewed studies: https://c19early.org/dmeta.html

A long list of studies! Thanks.

I saw Campbell give a nice description of this paper:

Protective Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on COVID-19-Related Intensive Care Hospitalization and Mortality: Definitive Evidence from Meta-Analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9864223/

Their conclusion: The results of the meta-analyses and respective TSAs suggest a definitive association between the protective role of vitamin D and ICU hospitalization.

It's time to accept a peace deal before more people on both sides lose their lives.

A select few are profiting tremendously from this conflict, they will never allow Zelensky to accept a peace deal.

An agenda which you are privy to, Wick? Please tell.

The founder of Greenpeace has some very interesting things to say about that group.

 In any case donations (of any kind) are something worth considering

Exactly.

committed "to ensuring mutual respect, understanding and dignity everywhere we do business."

In heaven's name, in what kind of world is this even controversial?

That is what the "dishonorably biased, radical left-wing journalist ...Inès Bel Aiba" wants you to think. It isn't controversial.

Driven by hidden agenda.

his relationship with Media = NOT Good!

Because of a few (one?) major media sponsors.

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to target civilian areas of Donetsk with West-supplied missiles.

Do something and predictions overestimated = OK

Do something and predictions overestimated = massive funds wasted.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau told Meloni that “Canada is concerned about some of the positions Italy is taking on in terms of LGBT rights.”

No, Canada is not concerned with that, only its far-left leader is.

*limit recognition of parental lights only to the biological parent of the child.*

Is the author of this article Japanese? And does he/she stutter:

*and even said that that his assessment “doesn't correspond to reality.”*

Why suddenly 2 articles on this topic? Where are they going with this? Real concerns about privacy would never be mentioned on the msm.

By the time the Ukrainian pilots are trained, the conflict will likely be over.

Total international military assistance for Kyiv is in the tens of billions of dollars

How much of that did the Ukrainian military actually get.
