My son just got home from Kalamazoo where he was working for Pfizer on their network. He has done work for them to provide information to the FDA on the production aspect of vaccines they manufacture.

I wonder how close the scientific community came to denigrating Frances Kelsey, until they found out she was right all along?

For me, that is chicken feed compared to what Frances Collins did when he removed the ban and approved funding for research on high-risk pathogens.

In 2014, the NIH did make changes to its guidelines for funding research on certain high-risk pathogens, such as the H5N1 influenza virus. These changes allowed for the funding of studies that involved making these pathogens more dangerous, with the goal of better understanding their potential risks and developing strategies to prevent or mitigate outbreaks.

Norma McCorvey has that beat in spades.

According to the American Medical Association, doctors are the fourth leading cause of death. The benefits of modern medicine and healthcare far outweigh the risks, and most people do live longer and healthier lives as a result of medical interventions.

Usually, there is a risk. The recent catheterization I had, ran a risk of 1/2 of 1%. The risk of not running the test would have been a lot higher. Even though in my case they did not find anything that would have required a stint or balloon. They did find some scar tissue that they want to go in and remove.

Close, but no banana. I do not care IF YOU say it is true or not. You have more confidence in your subjective reality than I do.
Right. It's my subjective reality that one of the four papers chatgpt attributed to me doesn't exist and that I'm not an author of any of the four. No way to objectively test that reality.

I'm sure that's a bogus statistic.

If you factor in abortion, I would say doctors are the leading cause of death.

To kill an unborn child, then treat it as if it's not even a statistic worthy of inclusion into other statistics is abomination.

Don't use it then. It is an old absolute program. Unless you are using GPT4 on Bing. I found that when you ask for references most of the links do not even go anywhere. The articles were there at one time, but they are gone now.

Perhaps you know of another program better than BPT for writing articles. My son suggests Grammarly.

Maybe I should run GPT through Grammarly and see what comes out.

They're just using MEDICAL MISTAKES to support their findings.

This causes them to fall short of the truth.

Factor in MEDICAL PRACTICE, and I'm sure it would establish the medical world as the leading cause of death.

This is a science ploy that dupes the common people.

Scientists will use ONLY the data and information that render deep time, and firewall any data and information that render a much younger earth.

My pastor is a YEC, and he makes the point that, of some 70 different processes that render a young earth, scientists use only the ones that they can manipulate to render deep time, and discard the rest.

Carbon dating methods, radio dating methods, ice cores, dendrochronology? no problem with scientists.

But ocean salination, strength of the magnetosphere, moondust, etc? those get swept away.

It’s a sad thing when the richest nation that has ever existed cannot keep it’s citizens as health as other countries.

A fetus is not a citizen.

A babe in the womb is.

I found that when you ask for references most of the links do not even go anywhere. The articles were there at one time, but they are gone now.

Why not try the circle of translations?

I fed this into an AI natural language translation (Google). First to spanish, then through a couple other languages (including Latvian, Greek, Welsh and Dutch) then back to English and I got this:

"I've noticed that when you ask for referrals, most of the links don't even go anywhere. The buildings were once there, but they are no longer there."

It's not as good as "Jimmy James Macho Business Donkey Wrestler", but it's a start. (I was going to do Arabic, but the Spanish -> Arabic left part of the text as untranslated Spanish, so that didn't seem fair.)
