My post #15 was in reference to post 13 that I don’t buy immunity by April and made fun of MACS with a deek joke for good measure. It wasn’t just to disagree with someone who hadn’t posted in the thread yet and chose to quote me later. The MACS part was just a cheap shot. I don’t really believe he sucks deek or eats donkey turds.
I took post 60 as calling me wrong and and accusing me of using late inning hindsight when I didn’t. I guess the “You keep saying things like that and you might even convince yourself.” through me off. I took it as calling me wrong and disagreeing. Forgive me if the quote is not exact I don’t want to bother to find it and make it exact. If it wasn’t calling me wrong then so be it.
I’ve been intimately involved with the modeling all along and watched things develop real time. There is no late inning picking and choosing going on. That’s made up nonsense. Just watching decision points and developments and remodeling accordingly. It’s how it works. Some models have been more accurate or precise than others but this has been a textbook pandemic for the type of virus believe it or not. That has different meaning than some apply to it but oh well I can’t help that. We all have our level of understanding.
Meh if anyone wants to believe my take on the virus somehow hinges on an individual in here rather than my profession and what I’ve been working on every day, and I just want to disagree with them even though I weighed in first, and for some reason I’m just lying and don’t know what I’m talking about so be it. I guess you’ve got me. I’ve been exposed.
But read the whole thing objectively and I doubt that’s where you land.
It’s really silly, and I won’t be goaded into a stupid argument at that level.
I hope we have immunity by April. I would love to be wrong.
You would have prevented your need to defend yourself if you answered questions with terms that didn't begin with "I know more than you" or "you're wrong". Especially when the accused never claimed to be right.
Or better yet, you could have included your self-congratulations along with an actual answer to the questions. Which we still haven't heard, ironically enough. You don't have time to tell us why the John Hopkins doctor is wrong. But you have ample time to explain that you're right.
I know I'm busting your balls here. But over a beer I wouldn't let you dodge the question. Because you ARE more involved in this subject at a different level than I am.
But I'm not some hack taking shots for no reason.
I am working directly with manufacturers to put together the test kits. Have been since April.
My nephew works at Moderna. He's a biochemist working on the virus. Directly.
I haven't had an opportunity to ask him directly about the WSJ opinion piece. Family gatherings are fewer these days. But I guarantee you his answer wouldn't be dismissive like you have been.
It's that's all you got, then so be it.
I read the thread.
I was just hoping for more.
