Well, you're the one who doesn't give the CDC any respect now, so by association, you can hardly support RD's position when he uses the data as source material.

You skimmed it at best. It went into complex detail as to why there was a similarity with the figures on an initial level but then explained the reasons why with comparisons to other states. It favours safety protocols but also explained as to why. I'm not surprised that you don't want to...

You didn't even read the article, otherwise you wouldn't have made such an ignorant comment.

The source of RD's data emanates from the CDC as he's stated himself. What contradictions are you referring to exactly?

Here's an opportunity for you to learn something, if you're willing, rather than relying on cherry picking data to tie in with your confirmation bias. As you've already been shown, the CDC supports the efficacy of lockdowns and other safety measures in order to reduce the flow of the virus...

Oh, I have more choices than that thanks, one of which being to point out that even in states or regions where there isn't a largely significant difference in terms of infection rates with differing approaches to the pandemic in no way reduces the efficacy of such measures. For one thing...

Given the disarray that the bonkers outfit is/was in then it'd be difficult to track down one individual post. Considering that numerous sources tout it as their underlying ethos then are you suggesting that it isn't true? It's been doing the rounds for years and it's only recently that it's...

You're kidding, right. It's hardly a secret: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/53498434 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/qanon-conspiracy-theory-trump-uk-europe-b1807171.html https://www.nytimes.com/article/what-is-qanon.html

Oh, I waded through the drivel and dismissed it for what it was - bunk. You don't get to determine what 'facts' are just because you buy into an article that fits your confirmation bias.

We have a health care service that is available to all, regardless of employment or financial status. As it should be, at least in a civilized society at any rate.

You've got to be kidding. You seem to forget that there's more than enough footage of who stormed the Capitol that day and they were not 'Antifa'. Not to mention all of the arrests having subsequently been made.

Considering that QAnon promotes the ridiculous notion that Trump was fighting a secret war against an elite cabal of cannibalistic, Satan worshipping paedophiles then yeah, that's the kind of bonkers stuff that emanates from the American far right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon Having a...

"Facts?" With you, that's a pretty subjective term and depending on whatever stuff you're buying into, normally from some site that's decidedly biased. I don't tend to lap up any given stuff from the tabloids in the UK either.

So, do you consider a health care service that encompasses all citizens to be able to avail themselves of its services, regardless of wealth to be some sort of 'thievery' in itself?

Oh, "rationalground.com". That's just truth verbatim...

Quite. Makes the irresponsibility going on in America all the more pertinent. Not yet but it shouldn't be too long now.

Yes, you were being. Nowhere have I intimated that the MAGA crowd et al are "leading things" but rather that they embody a lot of the "right" in America, as we've sadly seen reported on a daily basis over the last few years. Still, you carry on with the smileys if it makes you feel good.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up MAGA et al. Stripe was answered on point and so were you.

You're the one shifting the goalposts to "far right leaders" as Stripe didn't specify anything of the sort. As an encapsulation of the "right" in America then unfortunately, the MAGA crowd, QAnon conspiracy nuts and covid deniers fit that bill as has been evidenced throughout news coverage for a...

You've concocted a question that Stripe didn't specifically ask. You were answered. As of the last four years, the MAGA crowd and similar ilk like Q have encapsulated a lot of the "right wing" in America. Doesn't make everyone who's a conservative or to the right on the political spectrum the...
