Reply to A randomized double-blind controlled trial found post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) was not advantageous for the prevention of COVID-19 in asymptomatic individuals with high risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The incidence of COVID-19 was similar in both the HCQ group and control. by glawgii
That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.. not much point trying to show HCQ doesn't work when the people that believe it does don't care about evidence

Yes, I did my second masters in computational chemical engineering.. but I'm not continuing this silly conversation, I'm cringing at myself for even engaging w you

>Do you know what epidemiology is? Do you know what applied computational mathematics is? Do you know what mathematical and computational biology is?
Dude, just stop.. you know damn well that an applied mathematics degree doesn't make you a subject matter expert in any field that happens to enploy applied mathematics.. Are you also an expert on structural engineering and genomics?
>Yes. I'm appealing to my extensive study and my research on epidemiology.
..and that a masters degree hardly qualifies as "extensive research". I'm not saying you haven't done but that's hardly self-evident from your flair, mate.
>Asking them to prove said claims instead of accepting them as fact is prudent and proper for scientific discussion.
Yeah, and noone said it wasn't, it's the fact that you think you're exempt from it that's weird
>Then these people should be able to back up their assertions and claims. As all of us have had to do.
Except from you apperently

You're being obtuse.. It's cringe that you're appealing to your mathematics degree which you think makes you an authority on epidemiology after literally just criticising someone for not citing sources... And the other commenter needs to cite sources because they don't have a flair? I think you'd be surprised how many flairless ppl have "proven education".. so yeah, cringe

My interpretation of their comment is that they're saying the focus should be on keeping the vulnerable boosted regularly instead of trying to focus on achieving heard immunity, not that the vaccines would no longer be available to anyone who isn't in a high risk group.. like flu vaccines, they're available to everyone but pretty much no healthy young adult takes flu shots in practice

Already happening in other countries.. just got my 4th dose.. the vulnerable groups get first priority and then everyone else.. so it's not really a restriction

Reply to comment by Team_Ed in [OC] More than 130 earthquakes rocked Turkey in 48 hours by MePiyush
No, because you're not comparing the Turkish earthquakes with a scale 10 earthquake so you can put the 7.8 quake at 100, and the 4.0 quakes would be hardly visible which makes sense since they happen every day and pretty much never make the news
