Welcome aboard. There isn't too much upland hunting to be had in MD. It must have been tough moving from ID to here. I head out to ID every year for elk hunting.
Finally was able to take out this 7.5 year old herd bull on the last day of my hunt. I had to elicit some help to get him out and make it to the airport the next day. Fortunately, he wasn't too far in. I still get the enjoy the memories of the hunt.
Funny I just came across this thread. I just got done watching this video from the early days of Rinella. I remember watching this show on the Travel channel and thinking to myself that this guy gets it and I'd like to see some more shows.
Walked into my stand on Oct 29th and he was standing 50 yds from the base of it with a doe. Didn't really know what I was, but he slowly sauntered off. 3 hours later I had the buck that kicked his butt at full draw walking right towards me. He smelled my boot track and took off. Last I've seen...
I wish Bass Pro would buy the corona virus so they could destroy that too.
Seriously, where is everyone getting camo these days? I have a couple merino products, but sometimes I don't want to pay $80 for a hunting shirt.
Seems like there is a big market niche for the mid-size guys (e.g...
No, they are not related. Prions are caused by genetic or environmental pathological misfolding of a protein that can cause a range of neurodegenerative diseases, while this vaccine is just a messenger RNA (mRNA) in a lipid (i.e. fat) globule utilizing our cellular machinery to make a surface...
Actually there is scant evidence that any of these supplements are helpful in preventing COVID. After Vita min D (mixed evidence) the level/quality of the evidence decreases substantially.
Beware of big pharma, but be equally beware of big placebo.
A recent excerpt from the BMJ "The panel...
The big difference here is that we all have skin in the game. Is big pharma and/or the govt secretly immune to COVID?
This whole argument/decision making is really simple. We are going to achieve herd immunity. You can take your chances of getting COVID or getting the vaccine. We have good...
Yes. I think the asking didn't come from them, but was guaranteed by the govt. This is not unusual. In fact, many of the infrastructure for mass production of vaccines had been driven offshore b/c of lawsuits. Many companies stopped trying to produce vaccines as the tort laws and claims had...
We never know the "long-term" side effects of many meds. The regulations for many diseases require a 2-3 year study period. There is no reason to suspect longer-term side effects based on our history with other vaccines. Not saying it can't happen, just no priors necessarily. If this were to be...
Easy, that's what randomization is for. The gold standard is db, pc, studies. This is the standard for just about every drug/vaccine in this country as challenge studies are unethical.
I'll try and address some of the concerns in this thread and some from Jmez above.
First off, how is it not a strong data set? Both vaccine studies were very large >30k, double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies, which is the GOLD standard. The primary endpoints were pre-specified. The efficacy...
