  20. No. It’s demonstrative of the incapability of the people to run a modern State. SAME picture in the former Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe)—and almost every African country….Most Africans aren’t “decades” behind their Western counterparts—but centuries….And I’m not talking about education as much as philosophy, core beliefs, societal norms….Africa missed the “renaissance,” the enlightenment, the progress of science and education…All form very recent additions to a way of life more grounded in nature & survival…The greatest obstacle to progress, by far, is the tribal system — based on birth and “who” you know—and a deeply-ingrained, “live for today” philosophy that Westerners will never understand, yet is the very foundation of their belief system… Post-WWI, Western leaders recognized the limitations of certain populations which prevented them from prospering in the modern world —and appointed panels for each African & Middle Eastern country, of the best Western economists, city planners, judiciary & educators to oversee these countries, and ensure that tribal loyalties & corruption didn’t take over….Corruption was greatly reduced, schools & medical centers introduced, and democratic governments begun to be set up….However, between the dominance of “sponsor” country (White) members in local industries, paired with calls from Progressive Westerners demanding “self-rule” for what they termed, “subjugated peoples,” a fervor was created ….Soon, the populations of “sponsored States”were agitating for the nirvana of “self-rule” ( when in reality, what they desperately wanted, like most ppl, was simply to live in well-run, low-crime societies that had high employment)….What they got, was the opposite. ( And, WHERE did the voices of the Western “self-rule” advocates go? ….Was there even one among them who could name a single area in which the ppls lives “improved?”)….…There really ARE far worse things than having an “appointed” government.

  226. Actually, the reemergence of treatment-resistant T.B. over the past two decades has greatly alarmed the international health community….From Mexico City to Nairobi, Tuberculosis has been performing a nasty second act — particularly spreading in urban settings…. There are parts of Africa now where diagnosis of TB represents an almost certain death sentence, due to drug resistance ( caused by too many Africans’ failure to complete the full course of treatment in the past — resulting in present-day super TB )…. Most strains still respond to treatment, however— though it often needs repeating ( and it’s a NASTY drug regimen—with often serious side effects, which cause many patients to stop the treatment)….It’s currently most prevalent in China, India, Mexico, S America & Africa —though even in the U.S., numbers are rapidly growing : The CDC reported over 10,000 new cases in 2023…. The recent spike of new cases in the EU & the U.S. is mainly due to the influx of migrants ( many of whom come from countries where TB is endemic ). Because these ppl enter the host country illegally, and often work in the shadow economy, they are unlikely to visit a doctor until they are very ill—and have already infected many.…Also, because Tb vaccines (Tuberculosis) aren’t given to children or adults in the West, anyone can be exposed and/or infected. I have done two stints with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders ) in Mexico City and Côte d’Ivoire, Africa, where the number of T.B. patients we saw was staggering. Of special concern are the drug-resistant strains….Sorry, didn’t mean to bore. It is important, however, to be aware of its prevalence—especially with a rapidly-growing population of potential carriers….You can request a TB test at your next physical— and never ignore a persistent or returning cough. Cheers.

  546. ….Actually, flight crews—my former profession—DO experience statistically significant higher cancer rates — particularly among those of us whose routes were predominately international (international flights typically fly at the highest altitudes, 40-45,000 ft to conserve fuel—and are of the longest duration….My NYC—Tokyo flights were 15-16 hours, each way—which was a major reason for my leaving after 5 years)….And it was the TYPE of cancers more often seen among pilots & flight attendants that clued researchers into suspecting solar radiation as the likely culprit : Leukemias & Lymphomas (the two most often associated with radiation exposure)….And, of course, radiation exposure is cumulative (so, if you fly for a living AND had medical radiation treatments as a child, your risk is higher….) That said, I otherwise agree with your statements….Exposure to low-level radium or plutonium from coal and/or soil (even over a prolonged period) would NEVER produce the type of symptoms those truck drivers exhibited : Oozing burns, peeling skin, blindness, organ failure and death within 5 days. That isn’t even radiation sickness, but extreme, high-level exposure (like that seen among Hiroshima victims within the second & third blast ring of the bomb—i.e., only one ring beyond being immediately evaporated)….Those men were exposed to levels of radiation NEVER found in nature….(My guess would be that with the normally reckless and slip-shod way the Chinese make & handle everything, they were just as unforgivably negligent with their weapons-grade uranium/plutonium—and that those poor chaps are only the tip of an atomic iceberg they are desperately trying to hide from the world)…. As with the UNFORGIVABLE WAY the Chinese handled deadly viruses in their Wuhan lab—resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions—the Chinese are going to kill all of us one day, with their incompetent activities and their reckless disregard for the well-being of others….Despicable people.

  985. ….I think Great Britain might argue with your definition of the Qing Dynasty, in the late eighteenth Century, being “the largest & most prosperous empire” in the world (I know that the Chinese frequently trumpet this “fact,” however, I fail to see by what metrics they make such claims)…. “Prosperity?”….Other than the Emperor, his Court & minions, and “officials” scattered throughout the land, I would argue that the “average” Chinese was quite a bit less prosperous than the average British citizen (and as for “greatness,” pardon me if I stifle a laugh, but if you’ve ever read the Qing Emperor’s letter to King George III—in which he states that he’s certain that Great Britain was a “nice, little country,” but that it could have nothing at all to teach China, as China was THE celestial kingdom)….And in terms of land mass, when Britain’s many colonies were factored in—including India—the fact that Qing rule was limited to only one country, makes it appear rather….constricted, by comparison…. China was “great” (certainly in its own eyes)—but at least 1-2 Centuries BEHIND the British in science, medicine—and certainly, in military advances & engineering….Chinese arrogance led to their undoing….At best, I MIGHT agree that China was the “most prosperous “ in ASIA AT THAT TIME, however, they were less “great” than Japan (whose people had -and have-a critical asset that the Chinese lack : the ability to quickly adapt, and reinvent themselves, whereas the Chinese cling to false visions of their supposed “grandeur”)….

  1643.  @jmdjdy  ….I did not mean to offend (and I appreciate the information on Haitian scholars)….However, you cannot possibly believe that even 1/2 of 1% of academically-gifted students in Haiti are receiving the education they need to achieve their potential?….It’s the utter waste that is so sad (I would wager that most gifted/high IQ Haitians end up doing anything they can to make a living—rather than working as the professionals they should have been)… There is a worrisome red flag in your comment (which I find to be almost always present in the mindset of citizens of failed countries—and which does not bode well for their future) : The blaming of “others” — nefarious “foreign powers” who, somehow, want to “keep you down” (I guess, because their taxpayers LOVE sending yearly gifts of hundreds of millions of their own, hard-earned money)….If those of you would just take the time to THINK, you would realize what nonsense that is….There is nothing the US & others want MORE than for Haiti to be a functioning & wealthy country (including your neighbor, DR)….It would end the illegal immigration…end the taxpayer charity…and end the constant security threat having an unstable country so close to US borders causes….IF Haitians cannot get out of your victim mindset, you will never excel as a country. Haiti’s miseries have been largely caused by Haitians (massive corruption, to be exact)….Start there. (You have an entire world cheering you on)!

  2165.  @hrmsdai  As she IS a Chinese citizen, it’s completely irrelevant WHO her “boyfriend” is—or whether he did the filming , production, downloading, etc, or not. Chinese citizens are NOT allowed to film in China, “represent” China in any way (including as a tour guide, historian, host, etc) without CCP permission (who review all content and edit out anything they don’t like before allowing it to be downloaded) There are hundreds of thousands of CCP Internet Security Analysts—whose only job is to scour Western media sites for content downloaded by Chinese Nationals; the Government spends (far) more on this (and the massive army of internet trolls they use to leave “pro-China” comments on Western sites) than they spend for all Chinese police departments, combined…A channel as high-profile as hers would never miss their intent supervision….The Government ranks “soft propaganda “ (such as “Always-Happy-And-Interesting-Chinese Woman’s-Travels-Showing-Happy-Chinese” videos) as being extremely important in influencing people’s opinions on China…. Enjoy the vids—just know : EVERY, single trip (and many of the “common folk” she happens to interview along the way) have been chosen & pre-approved by the government, and anyone interviewed who didn’t show appropriate “contentedness” have been edited out….(You also might ask yourself how a young woman, from a “lower-middle-class” family—as she mentioned on one of her vids—can afford to pay for several years’ worth of non-stop travel….airline tickets….hotels….train fares, not only within China—but throughout Europe) ? And all, with no visible means of support (no, what she makes from YouTube wouldn’t even come close) …As she said at the end of her LAST trip, “I’ve been traveling non-stop for seven months now”…. Judging also by the professional camera crew she now has accompanying her, I would wager that she is being completely subsidized by the CCP, who see the propaganda value of her channel….If you spend enough time in China, you begin to understand how they work…. Like I say, enjoy the travels—just always keep in mind that each episode is as carefully choreographed as any off-Broadway play….

  2213. No. The truth in the case of both Blackrock & Vanguard isn’t “boring,” as this wanna-be “rockstar” economist is trying to allege (those of you falling for his “It’s-just-a-big-deal-over-nothing” spiel are as credulous —and as misinformed—as he is)…. Anyone who is aware of what is happening know that both companies are in DEEP trouble….Blackrock has been making and breaking PRIVATE companies—based on their “acceptance” and implementation of BR’s self-created ESG goals…They have the power to literally destroy companies by withholding financing from them (and worse—by steering other large investors away from them)…. This is patently illegal. Congress is going to BEGIN digging into these behemoths in November….The SMART folks know that anti-trust actions will be only the tip of the iceberg (with Blackrock, in particular)—which has become the poster child of what happens when a quasi-religious zealot (Larry Fink) amasses too much power & influence in the largest financing conglomerate in the country…. I won’t hold my breath waiting for this dude’s “Mea Culpa” over his really bad analysis on this; but will wait for the indictments against Blackrock to start poring in : alleging economic coercion, enforcing “morality benchmarks” on private firms—and intentionally causing economic damages to companies that refused to comply…. The takedown is coming (and it’s going to be epic)….OR……Plug your ears—and keep following this dude

  3036. Ah….yes…fears of another “colonization,” of sorts…I know that in the US, along with most Western countries, no such bans exist, as corporations from other countries own much land and large stakes in US corporations (with limits or outright bans for countries deemed “unfriendly” to US interests)… Even in the US, such foreign investment & ownership has been crucial to the success of several industries & businesses that had trouble attracting local investment (or when investment has been insufficient)….Though fears of being “overrun” are understandable, they def hurt investment & development (and really have no place in today’s rule-based system)….The trick, of course, is to limit ownership to countries that have been long-term allies, and ones that have rule of law (under US law, for example, corporations are subservient to national laws—so that if, for example, the Philippines decided to nationalize corporations that Americans had majority stakes in—the US corporations would have to agree to a buy-out, and to leave)….That’s your protection (but, of course, not all countries adhere to the those laws—mainly some Asian & former Eastern Bloc countries)… I’ve always felt that The Philippines had enormous potential. I hope you (finally) get NEW ppl in your political system to shake up the Old Boys Club, change the laws—and rid your country of the corruption that, interestingly, goes hand-in-hand with such laws (most Western corporations use strict auditing practices. Corruption would be much harder to get away with)….

  3129.  @myaq8410  Everyone already KNOWS that she was Black- esp the right (it’s in the Bible, for * sake)….(There was a more recent adaptation, btw—in the 50s🤣—It was one of the “Bible Epics” they seemed to make a lot….but, again, they used a “dyed” white actress, I think Susan Hayward, as the Queen……Way past time for an update) If they get a decent writer and cast the main roles well, it would do great, as it would appeal to a very wide audience, and be seen as a “new” story (let’s face it: Cleo has been done to death)…. As to “Blowback” to the actress being Black (as the Queen WAS), I think that would happen in a VERY small group. Actresses with talent & charisma are always loved (“Witney Houston” The Bodyguard, Halle Berry, Monster’s Ball, most of the female cast of “Hamilton” were all loved)…not to mention, Big Little Lies, The Handmaid’s Tale, Skyfall, Precious (just thinking of hit “crossover” movies)… I think blowback right now is happening largely because of what a lot of ppl see as too much gender/race swapping (esp. with historical figures). As that wouldn’t be the case with QS (I suppose if producers wanted to be anal, they could limit the role to AA actresses “of” African, rather than Caribbean, descent :), but with the gorgeous sets, costumes & historical era, if it’s well-written, it would be a hit….(And SHAME on JPS —when explaining why she chose to do Cleopatra : “There aren’t any African Queens that are readily accessible” (maybe she’s just ignorant on history)…In any case, It’s Time.

  3164.  @badomen9057  ….From your prior comments, it hardly surprises that you would frame ignoble intentions ( throwing tomatoes from the sidelines ) as principled action….But, it won’t do. While brushing up on Ethics, you might wish to fill the obviously empty void you have in Twentieth-Century history….The past eighty years have represented the greatest span of time—in all of world history—in which no wars among the earth’s major powers were fought….This wasn’t serendipity. It is the RESULT of the rules-based order that the U.S. designed, implemented—and enforced (and continues to enforce)….If you think that we “tilt the game” so that most of the balls go into our own holes, you’re correct : It’s the one benefit of being the game architect (on the deficit side, we also shoulder the greatest burden—both financially & with human capital)…. We do not always get it right—but most ppl with a decent grounding in world history agree that a better system for maintaining (even a sometimes tense) equilibrium among powers has yet to be found….And always, the Authoritarians are on our heels, and closing the distance ( today, they are Russia, China & Iran)….Democracies are an ever-shrinking minority….It is easy to dismiss what you have & do not understand if you haven’t lived in an alternate system, or haven’t a deep understanding of world history 1850-1950….I would recommend filling in those gaps (if you wish to be an effective “opposition”), otherwise, you’re merely an angry voice in the Peanut Gallery…. Such fascination with “account dates.” ( Not everyone has employment that allows them the luxury of YouTube accounts )

  3172. This is one of the most convoluted rationalizations I have heard any analyst yet give on the HB saga….To say that HB wanted immunity “in order to protect himself” from an alleged witch trial by some future (fantasy) Trump Admin is carrying Hunter’s water to the nth degree…. A future “Trump Admin” could “use the Justice Dept” to go after his political enemies (you mean the way the CURRENT Admin has weaponized Justice against Trump? Swear to god, we’re looking more & more like a banana republic—with folks like you singing, “Burn, baby, burn!” Btw, I am not a Republican & I did not vote for Trump, but, JC, can’t you see what’s happening to this country?? We’ve got Xi’s economy (and grip on power) imploding in the East—and it seems as if no one has ever picked up a history book to learn what happens when Authoritarians are losing support….A blockade/invasion of Taiwan IS coming (sooner than you “nattering nabobs of negativism” think)….Put the damned knives away. Past presidents have done FAR WORSE than what Trump is accused of (and half of the country sees these multiple—many ridiculous—lawsuits as witch hunts)…. No, it is NOT because Hunter “fears future prosecution” by a nonexistent Trump Admin. Trump is NOT going to be President again (and he darn well knows it)….He fears what he likely has good reason to fear : Pay-outs from foreign Governments (for access—as the “son of the then-VP)….And what’s more, anyone with any wits knows it…. The man’s ethics are nonexistent…. IF this had been “Donald Jr” (same charges)—YOU would be screaming bloody murder about his “SWEETHEART DEAL” (and do insult our intelligence by pretending otherwise)….Pathetic that you are what passes for “journalists”….If more of you spent any good amount of time living in (not visiting) other countries, you might have an inkling of what we are slowly losing in this country with these RIDICULOUS “culture wars”…..Grow UP. Really trying times are coming. We cannot AFFORD to be so divided.

  4053. The (current) RF are perfectly aligned with Nat West’s embrace of wokeness….From Chuck—to William—and down to Harry, the RF would be considered by most GB viewers as FAR-Left….(I KNOW what I’m talking about). Chuck drilled his Uber-Leftist principles deep into the skulls of his sons —yes, “even” William….Why do you think he is besties with former NZ PM Arden (who was considered the “farthest Left head of State of any Western country)?….Why do you think he INSTANTLY sacked his grandmother’s LONG-TIME Lady-in-waiting—on the basis of ONE mere accusation by a notorious Black rabble-rouser?….Why did Chuck AND WILL become so infuriated with the Government’s proposal to send prospective asylum seekers (young, male economic migrants) to a non-aligned, third country while status is determined—instead of allowing ALL to remain in the UK @ taxpayer expense? “Inhumane” & “Barbarous “ BOTH said….Not to mention, membership AND FULL ENDORSEMENT of the WEF (and its many “plans” to “enforce fairness” on ppl of Western countries)….As for EXTREME climate activism, I could write paragraphs on that ALONE (hint: they are more fully in step with Extinction Rebellion than they allow to be made known)…. In short, the current RF are as woke a bunch as you’ll ever meet (their support FOR themselves, the RF, being the one exception)….Funny, how the “LEAST WOKE” among them (Anne, Edward & Sophie) also happen to be the family members Chuck is least close to (notwithstanding Andrew, of course)….If slamming the brakes on “wokeness” were a major consideration in our Monarch, the RF would be best-served by skipping a few members—and elevating Sophie & Edward, instead (their children, esp. Lady Louise, is likewise, far more conservative than her cousins)….

  4327. ….You sound exactly like a member of failed communities & countries throughout the world….You may not understand this now, but that kind of resentful Nationalism is NEVER heard from people who are actually “proud” of their heritage — but from those who are secretly ashamed (and are looking for a target to blame for what they feel is their country’s LACK of success)…. What usually follows : “Re-naming” your country or community. (Example : African Americans went from calling themselves “negroes”….to “colored”…..to “Black”…..to “African American”). You will learn that “changing” your name doesn’t fix your issues — as “Turkey” (now, Turkeia, or something, will discover)…..Next, comes “hyper-Nationalism” (where members of the community are “shamed” for saying anything “positive” about their former “oppressor” — or, for having friends from that nation) …..Finally, the country/community devolves into a jumble of competing Nationalists—each, trying to “out-India” each other (and along with this comes a really ugly intolerance—snippets of which I’m hearing from you)….. Such societies NEVER become as prosperous/successful as they could have been.…In fact, they often become failed States. Achievement is substituted with a misplaced arrogance (such as one hears when Indians discuss their military : “WE don’t NEED any country’s help fighting China—our military can do it alone!”)…..I am merely cautioning you : Be CAREFUL. (Have you ever considered being GRATEFUL for the many blessings that Britain brought you — far more, I believe, than Indians will admit to….Like the fact that there would be no “India” today, if not for the British—-just DOZENS of feuding Principalities, with Indian Raj’s heading each one)?

  4371.  @karenfrederick8991  ….Yes, unfortunately, the few H&M charities I had a chance to examine (Archewell , The VING Project & SmartWorks) have all, indeed, been incorporated in the State of DE (which tends to, by itself, ring “alarm bells” for charity watchdog groups, as DE has among the weakest oversight laws—and extremely opaque corporate accountability laws—making it the #1 State for incorporation by new businesses, and where most corporations—not charities—list their company headquarters)…. Neither Archewell nor VING appear to have separate entities ( a main board, an oversight committee, and an accounting group—which would provide “checks and balances” on where money is coming from, how much there is, where & how much is distributed—and whether donations are coming from “acceptable” sources)…. In both cases (info on SmartWorks was incomplete), the “Board” members from both charities appear to wear several hats (note: These are NOT considered “Best practices” for charities)….Both charities also appear to be “withholding” an unusually high % of donations received (usually, if “withholdings” exceed 20% of annual monies received, the charity is required to “explain” the reasons—along with providing proof such funds are secure)….However, as H & M’s charities, themselves, are incorporated in DE, such strict charity laws may be easier to skirt….If I were the Feds/Revenue, I would be going over H & M’s books with a fine tooth comb….

  4648.  @GonzoTehGreat @Chopsticksandtrains ….Not quite, Chopsticks. China’s “rise” (and its potential to rival the US) was “noticed” and written about much earlier (around 2012)….The “sea change” in public sentiment toward China was actually due to several events, all occurring in succession (and with a great deal of assistance by the current, incompetent Chinese leader)…. Firstly, Xi’s insecurity and his impatience to be seen as a major global “player,” prodded him to indulge in very aggressive geopolitical actions and language (but what he considered to be— in his own unsophisticated & parochial worldview—“masculine self-confidence”)……ISLAND BUILDING (in disputed waters)….ISLAND-GRABBING (again, of disputed land)….CHASING Filipino, Vietnamese & Indonesian fishermen out of their own EEZs (using One-Two punches of “fishing” boats—filled with PLA-trained me, who chased nationals out of their own waters—backed up with PLA Coast Guard ships, that moved in to use force on stragglers)…..REFUSAL to accept, or even recognize, UN legal guidelines…..REFUSAL to accept legal rulings (or even arbitration)…. Of course, the above aggressions were always accompanied by the (ridiculously named) “wolf warrior” politics/ language (what the Chinese apparently consider to be “tough” & “masculine”—and the rest of the world, “boorish & thuggish”)….Then, of course, there was American President Donald Trump’s one, valuable contribution : His pointing out (day after long day) —in both charts and numbers—the sheer size of the trade imbalance which existed between the US & China (and the additional unfair advantage the Chinese had, by continuing to make use of “developing nation” status, saving them huge amounts in tariff charges)…. Along with the trade numbers came the allegations of “technology transfers” and theft (and the proof—on a scale that shocked most Americans) …. And THEN (finally), came the “Wuhan” Virus….The origins (and likely disease vectors) were bad enough—but, when Americans saw President Xi “grounding” ALL domestic flights in China, shortly after the outbreak—while Chinese INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS continued on their merry way, with the Chinese people (along with the virus they carried) visiting all four corners of the earth, as China, itself, was being turned into a prison….well, gee, slow as we are, we began to NOTICE…. And that, my friend, was the real “timeline” for most Americans to begin opening their eyes to what CHINA was, and is, doing….

  4803. I have to say: The sheer chutzpah of Chinese complaints of “containment” is breathtaking—especially considering that the Chinese 100% owe the US for their economic rise ….. After all, it was the Americans that established diplomatic relations with China, effectively ending their isolation….The US also enthusiastically supportied China’s bid to join WTO ( which in turn, caused their export markets to explode )….and, it was US—not Chinese—taxpayers who bore the full cost of patrolling the sea routes used by China to ensure the safe transport of their goods…. As for Chinese charges of “containment,” they’re ludicrous—BASED ON WHAT THE CHINESE ARE SAYING THEY WANT : “Free, unhindered travel of Chinese ships in the Indo-Pacific” ( The Chinese are well-aware that they already have such freedom of navigation. Always have. So, what REALLY is it that they want)?….One word : “PRIMACY” ( As in, “China expects free, unhindered travel of its ships in the Indo-Pacific, giving China primacy in the region” )….How would giving China primacy in the region change things as opposed to the current U.S.-led system? We already have a pretty good idea, based on China’s treatment of its China Sea neighbors with which it has maritime disputes : the Indo-Pacific would become a less stable area, where bullying was rife ( and where “Might makes right”—as can be seen monthly, as Beijing harasses, makes irresponsible & unprofessional “close calls” with ships & aircraft from other countries that it believes is “violating” its sovereignty …. Finally, such an Indo-Pacific region (with China at its head) would set the stage for a Chinese invasion of Taiwan—Which will happen over the West’s dead body…..So, really, ALL of China’s moaning & groaning amounts to little more than “vanity”….”face”….(call it what you will : on essentials nothing would change much—other than Chinese bragging rights about being the “Primary” power in the region….Unfortunately, however, China has proved many times that it can’t be trusted (or the U.S. might cede such superficial titles to them)….History has shown, however, that such a move would likely lead to the immediate invasion of Taiwan..

  5447.  @andrewc318  ….Yeah, unfortunately, that’s one point that will never be answered with certainty.….But I was intrigued over why the use of Mercury as a cure for Syphillis was so ubiquitous during this era—when its terrible (often fatal) side effects were well known, even among the common people… Given these facts, I was looking for one answer : “ Why, if ineffective, was relatively cheap Mercury consistently used—when far more exotic ( and more expensive ) “quack” cures could have been pushed by physicians, instead ?” (My Master’s dissertation was on 17th-19th C British Medicine ) Looking at patient records from the greater London area ( mainly St. Guy’s & St. Bart’s), in around 25-30% of patients given the “Mercury Cure,” their Syphillis DID appear to go into remission….But because Syphillis will often do so on its own ( only to come raging back, 2-20 years later ), I could only rely on those patients for whom long-term records were available. Of this group ( of 42), 15 remained symptom-free, 20+ years after the original treatment … Of course, this doesn’t represent “proof.” I just think that our ancestors weren’t that dissimilar to us, when it came to medical care : because Syphillis was such a common affliction, most men would have friends who had had it—and would know the treatments they had received ( and whether they “worked” or not )….If Mercury didn’t have at least some successes, I just think it doubtful that it would have continued to have been employed….As for one’s “immune system” curing Syphillis, there are no medical examples of this, that I am aware of (however, those with very strong immune systems might, in theory, have their Syphillis go into permanent remission) ….Syphillis was, and is, such a virulent & aggressive disease, such individuals would be rare, indeed

  5660.  @SewardWriter ….You have my sympathy; autoimmune diseases can be a bear to manage ( on the bright side, however, it likely signifies that you come from a race of survivors: if you’re of European descent, autoimmunity in descendants was likely the price your ancestors paid for surviving the Black Death )…. There has been much research done in this area lately—and the evidence linking many present-day cases of autoimmune disease to a direct ancestor’s exposure to, and survival of, the Bubonic Plague is compelling…..Survival rates of those contracting Plague in the 14th C was less than 2% ( with Pneumonic Plague, it was 0% ) — those rare, 2% who survived could only have done so via an extreme, hyper-immune response by their bodies, the thinking goes….Researchers managed to isolate the DNA from a British noblewoman—who was said to have survived the Plague as a child—and was entombed in a stone sarcophagus ( thus, lessening the chance of the “wrong” bones being tested )….Results did, indeed, show exposure to Plague pathogens — and tracing her family tree to the present day, revealed generations of likely autoimmune disease ( those from the last 75 yrs were, of course, positively confirmed—those from earlier centuries wrote of symptoms pointing to Crohn’s Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis )…. Likewise ( if you’re able to get off of the immunosuppressants ), there is strong evidence that people with autoimmune diseases tend to develop cancer ( all cancers ) at statistically significantly lower levels than the general population ( it appears that a hyperimmune system doesn’t only target its host — but malignant cells, as well )…. Another long-winded aside ( autoimmunity is one of my chief interests of study )….I wish you good health :)

  6213. As a journalist (at an American news network) with a sister studying in India, I have diligently been watching this program every day (since Palki S. joined), as I wanted to see if what my sister said was true (that Indian “news” consists of “pro-Government propaganda” and the “bashing of perceived enemies”)…I couldn’t believe that any Democratic country’s news stations would be afraid to criticize the Government in power (or worse : would be active “cheerleaders” for that government—rather than doing the job of a journalist, and holding power to account)…. After listening to Palki S speak for a full HOUR every day (while taking notes), I discovered the truth to be far worse : A full 75% of her editorials — every day — consist of “Negative news” of India’s perceived “enemies.” Two countries are predominantly featured (CHINA and PAKISTAN), with “The West” (particularly the UK & the US) finishing third….ANY negative news coming out of those countries (high unemployment, shootings, changes of Government, embarrassing personal mistakes of leaders, suppression of human rights) are always her “top stories”—and the majority of her content…(This isn’t to suggest that such stories shouldn’t be covered, but one of a journalist’s most important jobs is to identify news which is MOST critical to her audience—then, if there is time, to cover stories happening abroad)….When Ms. S CONSISTENTLY passes on “negative” news coming out of INDIA (such as rising inflation—and the Government’s inability to control it…or stories of local ethnic tension —and charges that the Government is FUELING it), and instead reports on Xi Xinping’s latest misstep, one can only point to bias, ineptitude, or active propaganda as the culprit… One could be forgiven, in watching her program, of wondering what country Ms. S is reporting from…What about India? What about the country whose Government she is REQUIRED, as a journalist, to “hold to account?” What do Indian viewers LEARN every evening about laws their Government is passing which may make their lives more difficult? What do they learn about their Government’s corruption scandals, or their Government’s mishandling of ethnic tensions ? You got it : Zip. Nadda. Zilch. Instead, night after night, one only hears Palki LAUD the Modi Government : Their “great & masterful” diplomacy….defending their most egregious mistakes (ALWAYS prefacing her comments with, “But one can understand why X did X “)…. In Palki’s World, INDIA can do no wrong : Every action is “world-changing” (the moon landing)….Every misstep (Modi’s incredibly botched Ladakh talks with China) are instead, transfigured into “smart diplomacy”….And clinging to a butcher’s coat tails (Putin), while being the only “democracy” not to condemn the armed invasion of ANOTHER democracy ? (Why, that is “Being NON-ALIGNED”….) If THIS is an example of the type of “news” Indians are being fed daily (and my sister assures me that it is)….I pity the Indian public, for they are being both MISINFORMED and PROPAGANDIZED….And I have only CONTEMPT for a supposed “journalist” who has so few ethics that she would either allow herself to be bought off—or worse, is a True Believer, lacking the necessary skepticism & objectivity to even enter the profession in the first place…. Ms. Palki S. has a very big chip on her shoulder against the West (it doesn’t take a psychiatrist to easily spot it)….Perhaps a Western girl once stole her boyfriend—or perhaps, it goes much deeper….Either way, individuals with such deep-seated insecurities are a very bad choice to represent the public….They tend to infect others with their prejudices…. While there is little doubt that Ms. Palki S is a very smooth & polished presenter, she is NOT a journalist. Nor is she a professional….She is, however, very dangerous—spreading both ignorance & prejudice to her audience, while simultaneously reinforcing their own biases….India has never needed honest journalism more. Yours is nothing more than angry propaganda—masquerading as journalism (and you should be ashamed)…

  6246.  @helenfrew2319  ….You are so very wrong……IF the pilot had acquiesced, and allowed the family to fly, he would have been exposing his employer to 100% liability for any nut-related allergic reactions the kid might have—including those due to one or two passengers “sneaking” a few nuts…. (And, through experience, I would say that those would be the type of parents to “sue” the airline—no matter what steps were taken)…. As both a flight attendant AND the Aunt of a boy with life-threatening nut allergies, I have seen this scenario from both sides……The parents behaved in both a medically foolish AND an entitled manner….As ANY experienced traveling parent of a kid with severe medical issues knows: You must be able to completely CONTROL your environment for it to be safe (even consuming a 100% peanut-free dish in a restaurant whose other dishes may contain peanuts will often send the sufferer into anaphylaxis)……There was simply NO WAY that such an environment could be properly controlled—and the parents (instead of running to the Press to whine) should have KNOWN it. “What” should they have done? What thousands of other parents in similar circumstances do : Rather than expecting others to “secure” their son’s environment, they must get into the habit of doing it themselves….There are multiple options : Driving, taking a private train compartment, taking a private compartment on a ship, or by signing up for one of the burgeoning scheduled flights for ppl with medical needs (which cater to allergy sufferers, diabetics, etc)…. You are, I fear, in danger of falling into the Leftist Lollyland of, “The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many”
