    After arguing with the trumphumpers about HCQ a I think they all believe they are like their great and glorious leader and know more than the medical staff

    I already explained how that theory has been falsified.

    Thirty6BelowZero has done so as well.

    Yup, you get what I was saying. This "smoking causes cancer" debate is just more QED that many people (liberals especially) do not understand logic, nor science, nor mathematics. Many of them even deny philosophy.

    Don’t care

    If you are pontificating about medical related issues on the internet BACK your claims

    I already explained the logic, science, and mathematics behind my claims. It seems that you now wish to deny philosophy as well.

    Since liberals totally fail to understand Rush or his shtick I am going to break it down for you people.

    Rush utilizes techniques often found in professional wrestling called generating heat. The various specifics of generating heat are defined in the link below. The liberal comments regarding Rush in this and other threads demonstrates just how successful Rush is in generating heat. Clearly many liberals are closet Rush listeners. Like he often says - he lives rent free in their heads.

    Keep up the good work Rush. You da man dog!

    Which medical staff? Many if not most MDs believe in the efficacy of HCQ against the virus. Dr. Faucihumpers should know he said on 1/26 there was a minimal US threat from the virus.

    From reading comments here in PF I have determined the #1 characteristic of a modern day liberal is extreme hyperbole.

    In fact, MDs are hoarding HCQ.

    It’s .002%. That’s your chance of dying from the flu. Let’s see some math wizards figure out what 10x of that is. If that STILL scares you, better not wake up because you won’t be able to function being afraid of simply driving your car, eating some streak, going to the beach, going out in the sun or doing just about any activity.

    It’s all about perspective. Do you drive?

    We are living in the age of rampant Fake Science as the "replication crisis" intensifies and ever more science fraud is exposed.

    "This was a year for splashy headlines about retractions, after some much-ballyhooed findings were pulled. Some prominent scientists each retracted multiple papers in 2015. And, of course, the last 12 months saw more and more cases of faked peer review. Here, in no particular order, are our picks for the top 10 retraction stories of 2015."

    How did you manage to declare victory while producing a quote that was waaaaaay worse than the original claim? Can fringe rights nutsos stop being a public health hazard for a couple of months or so? k thks.

    By that "logic" (and this is the most generous usage I've ever seen of the word logic), there are no causes of lung cancer. None. None at all. Nothing causes lung cancer. It is 100% magic I guess. This may be your worse troll yet, and that's saying something.

    What regressives fail to understand about Russia Limpboy is he loves lying to his audience to convince himself he is smarter than them and thus makes fools of them when they mindlessly parrot his lies!

    Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.

    No, smoking does not cause cancer in ALL people, in fact it doesn't cause cancer in most people who smoke (and some people who never smoke still get lung cancer) but it undoubtedly does cause cancer in quite a few people who do smoke, more than enough that smoking is very foolish

    Now nothing really "causes" cancer per se, present theory goes. Cancer is "in" everybody anyway, and people get cancer when something, usually a persistent irritation/inflammation but it can be many other things, including viruses and bacteria, make the cancer manifest itself. This happens about 3 or 4 times to most people in their lifetimes and it very fortunately doesn't stay or grow most times, though it does enough that it's the really terrible thing it is. This is very probably wrong since I'm not a doctor and this is like my explaining quantum relativity to my little niece when most of the world's best physicists don't understand it and I'm not even that good at math.

    Stephen King says that smoking and cancer is really about the most unjust thing there is. It's probably the most innocent of all the small pleasures and yet you get all sorts of really awful diseases from it, like lung cancer but also cancers of the throat and mouth that are not only terribly painful but additionally horribly disfiguring. "C'mon God" he says, "where's your sense of proportion?"
