    Have any of you lot saw anything what Dr Rashid Buttar has been posting?

    Here's one of his videos (Many have been banned)



    I'm not sure what to think tbh since he is actually a real Doctor and not some conspiracy theorist :khaled:

    Quick google search & it states he’s a osteopathic physician. Always good to look up what kind of doctors these people are. Just because they have an MD or Dr in their name doesn’t mean they have in-depth knowledge about viruses/vaccines etc. Same way you wouldn’t get an opinion from a chiropractor about your migraines.

    Epidemiologists are the kind of doctors we should be listening to right now.

    Not US but UK, my pub sells Corona on draught (it's new) and sales of it quadrupled in the couple of weeks prior to lockdown.

    Yeah my initial thought was that he is more than likely in a different department regarding his work field... He does claim to have friends/co workers or w/e in the correct field concerning viruses etc, and they agrre with his opinions... Maybe a little more research is needed tbf. He's a leading doctor concerning Autism Spectrum... Or at least that's what he says in one of his video, but osteopathy has nothing to do with mental health lol. He's stated that vaccines are causing mental health issues, so It's an interesting topic.

    Don't think so. He's a top seller with the book he released some time ago though, I believe.

    Yeah, I’d just be very careful with doctors like him & others like Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz who try to come off as experts in fields they never studied/focused in. Especially when they’re making large claims or pushing theories that go against what the rest of the medical community is saying.

    Key term I always look for is “peer reviewed.” If research isn’t peer reviewed, take it with a grain of salt.

    30 million people filed for unemployment in the USA the past 6 weeks. THIRTY. MILLION. To put that into perspective...

    That's more than the population of Texas (the second most populous state in the USA).

    This is about 1.5x the population of New York state or the @The Shape third world foreign country, the Netherlands.

    This is like if @Koolo's or @Australia / @SHUDEYE / @Ordinary Joel's entire country was unemployed.

    As of Dec 2018 there were about 207 million people of working age (15-64). That's just shy of 15% unemployment, and that's counting teenagers who still live at home. Though I can't imagine how many families are relying on their kids' $7.25/hour paycheck bagging groceries to help pay the bills right now.

    This is f-----.

    exactly why I told y’all not to totally buy into that “China made the Coronavirus in a lab!!” theory yet. It wasn’t confirmed.

    i mean with how China handled it and hid information, banned flights out of wuhan to China areas, but not internationally etc. I understand why some could possibly believe it was made in a Wuhan lab. I was never a believer in that, personally, but I get it. China should be under fire regardless of whether they created it though. It was thoroughly mishandled in the beginning.

    Oh I know that’s why I call your country third world in jest because your country is almost always in the top 5 “happiest countries” along with Scandinavia lol. Trust me I live in Georgia, my state is the leading example of stupidity rn :emoji_face_palm:

    True we really can't complain. We do anyways but yeah things are mostly good here. W the corona crisis parts of our country they got a lot of infections but compared to other european countries we're doing kinda okay. And we don't (never had) a complete lockdown.

    Sorry to hear that man, the weird thing is I see on the news that regardless of Trump telling people to insert antivirus in their bodies and the countless of r-----ed s--- before he still has a huge chance of winning again... this can't be true?

    It unfortunately is. He has a cult following that believes he literally can do no wrong, plus die-hard conservatives who refuse to vote democrat no matter what. However the one real thing he had was "the economy" (even though a lot of this is aftereffects of the obama years) and that's in the shitter now, so I'm hopeful that more swing voters are seeing through this facade.

    Lets hope.

    At first I honestly thought it was kinda funny when he became president. A huge clown and his speeches were hilarious to me / us. But now its just costing lives.

    Our president Rutte gives a speech every week how its going right now, what they decided, why they decided it etc. Every single thing he says is based on what the experts tell him. And he says he missed a lot of sleep because of the terrible decisions he had to make (closing bars etc). You can see it actually does something to him and he puts people's health above everything.

    And then I see trump; hey maybe we can insert antivirus in our bodies!!! I dunno if it works, but hey maybe it does!!! And I'm like how can people in their right mind vote for this clown lol.

    I'm far from left, never kept that as a secret on this forum, but jezus christ lol this guy
