The Covid cure has arrived!

Not sure if the receipts have a survey offer.

I do like dipping my chips in mayo. When you say learting Corn, do you mean corn on the cob? We eat that hear too you know!

It's been a while so cannot remember the exact nature of the rumor that I heard. I thought it was corn generally - but may have been in a certain form. But now that I google the issue, and find little results, I think maybe what I heard was either "corn dog" or perhaps "popcorn".
Maybe I dreamed this up!

I think there is a general perception that Americans eat too much, but then again the data shows that anyway. I think Britain is probably the fat man of Europe, but not quite as fat as America.

This link shows the BMI by country, although the data is a bit dated from 2015:

Looking at that, there is not that much difference between the US and the UK: 28.5 vs 27.3 on the BMI scale

It was probably a routine visit to Golden Corral that equated the Americans to Pigs thingy...

That was good - I saw the same meme with "Switch to Racism! Switch to Racism!" - i'd say it takes the cake, but they both make a good point!
It was probably from you I saw it! LOL

The covid fear mongering hysteria theory is falling apart. In the video below, note the comments by Mollie Hemingway. The fear mongering was being driven by the left leaning media and Democratic politicians as a political effort to oust Trump from the Presidency. Unfortunately they were successful. To bad an election do over can't be had based on the lies destroying the truth.

From a freedom of information request (FOIA) we see that Fauci was warned the virus "looked" engineered in 2020.

CNN was gaslighting

The Yanks on these forums never seem to be happy with whoever is president. They moaned about Trump for 4 years (except Pat who is a Trump lover) and no doubt they will moan and whine on for 4 years about Biden. Is there anything else that takes your interest? Or is it dopey Yankee politics for another 4 years?

Send Jon Stewart to the lame G7, someone needs to say this on an international stage.

No One Was Expecting THIS From Jon Stewart

Even if there could somehow be a "video" of it leaking out of the lab (ha), and liberals saw it, they would all pretend there was no evidence whatsoever until AOC told them it was OK to believe. Cultish if you ask me.

The news continues to slowly ooze-out that the anti-Trump "radicals" were successful at intimidating the scientific community into suppressing the Wuhan Lab leak theory as the origin of the Covid virus. This was purposely done as one of the vile prongs for defeating Trump's bid for re-election, that unfortunately worked. It also demonstrates that those, in the scientific community, claiming to be following the science, did not. They let politics undermine science.

An interesting aspect concerning the news below is that it originated with NBC, one of the media outlets vilifying Trump. Evidently, now that Trump is out-of-office, the media that had been attacking Trump and suppressing news favorable to Trump is now allowing the back stories to slowly emerge. Unfortunately, it is now to late to affect the election, now that it is over. One of the problems with the news media, publish lies in big bold print before an event to unjustly tilt the scales. Then after the event to quietly, in small print, offer a "correction", oops.

Scientists reportedly avoided COVID lab-leak theory because it was 'scary' to be 'associated with Trump'

Chan told NBC that a number of researchers and scientists did not want to talk publicly about the theory because Trump embraced it.

Last month the scientist, Alina Chan, and 18 others published an open letter in the journal Science seeking a comprehensive investigation into the origin of the virus to include consideration of the so-called ‘lab-leak theory’ which Trump promoted early on in the pandemic.

She told NBC that a number of researchers and scientists did not want to talk publicly about the potentiality of the virus escaping the Wuhan lab because they were more concerned about being associated with “racist” language surrounding COVID-19 following the former president’s use of phrases like “Wuhan virus” and “China virus.”

“At the time, it was scarier to be associated with Trump and to become a tool for racists, so people didn’t want to publicly call for an investigation into lab origins,” Chan told the broadcaster.

The moral of the story is science can be corrupted. We argue this point in regards to global warming. It comes down to political pressure. It's not about denial it's about corruption.

well said. any process, industry, or discipline that involves humans becomes inevitably awash with human defects, biases, agendas, beliefs, etc - Science included.

Confirmation Bias just one relevant item on a list of many ...
