Come to think of it, who was the guy who thought up the idea that sex and gender weren't inherently linked? I think his name was...uh...John Money.
I don't know who that is, but if it's some conservative douchebag, you can probably assume he wasn't the first person to think of it. We were just discussing how anti-intellectual conservatives are.

So if I'm reading into this correctly, the lesson is that you should stop being so obsessed about gender and let people live their fucking lives? Oh right, I forgot there aren't any conservatives left who believe in personal liberty.

Funny, you've made such a fuss about the flu being so much more deadly than covid in this (and other topics) and how we should be much more worried about it, but now that it doesn't suit your argument it's "not that big of a deal".
I'm not changing my argument. The flu is around as deadly as COVID, and neither is a big deal.

I mean he thought up the idea of gender based on nonsensical and immoral studies but okay.

Did I not just say that gender is a fabricated social construct, and therefore has no real limits in regard to what the term might encompass? In other words: yes, it basically means nothing except to the person defining themselves as a given gender. For normal people it's not at all hard to treat everyone with empathy, common decency, and a modicum of respect. It only seems to be as painful as getting teeth pulled for conservatives for some reason.

So what you're saying is gender doesn't exist.

This, I can agree with, if it's interpreted the right way. "Gender" is a nonsense word made up by insane people to justify the fact that they want to be called women despite their chromosomes saying otherwise. The only real thing that can be compared to gender is biological sex.

I don't lie.

I think it would be great if we wiped out the flu by treating covid seriously. That's hopeful thinking and the responsibility of the people. The perceived attack on the first amendment is arguably feeding the frenzy--resulting in worse of an outcome. You can blame politics but that might end up distracting you from your ability of taking care of yourself.

No more or less than any other social construct does. It exists in our minds as a means by which to define or judge a person, consciously and/or subconsciously, to whatever degree we choose.

Bruh. Who you tryin' to fool. :rofl2:

Why do you keep bringing up this pedophile scum who forced a boy to transition without his consent and then forced the boy to have sex with his brother whilst money took pictures of said act? Your obsession with him is rather worrying.

COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, but it has also not increased the total number of deaths.

Interesting article from Johns Hopkins. It seems like it was removed, but the facts of the article are publicly available and should be easy enough to cross-check.

If this is the case, we can make the argument that life is killing everyone.
lol it was discredited by the John Hopkins, stated it used incorrect data and not valid ( plus it was created by the student center Yanni Gu -Assistant and not a real professor)

"The article “A closer look at U.S. deaths due to COVID-19,” published in the Science & Technology section on Nov. 22, has been deleted. 'Though making clear the need for further research, the article was being used to support false and dangerous inaccuracies about the impact of the pandemic. We regret that this article may have contributed to the spread of misinformation about COVID-19."

This seem to spread like wild fire in far right circles and quickly debunked I guess we can tell where @tabzer spends all his time and gets his info..

How was it debunked exactly? Is there something wrong with the actual data? What is it?

You need to support this statement, because the tweet and what you are saying are different things.

Imagine wanting to take a vaccine that's 95% effective when not taking a vaccine is 99% effective...
Yes, and imagine vaccine costing 6 USD or even 25 USD a pop! (Actual prices of different manufacturers.)

Why would anyone in the EU spend 2.7 billion (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-eu-vaccines-idUSKBN23J20S) on developing them, AND give out purchase guarantees? At that price, and with not getting them being more effective - when will taxpayers ever see that money back?

*sarcasm*

This does not state anything being wrong or inaccurate with the article itself--which you took the extra step of doing.
