But normal people totally do pay more than a thousand dollars a month per child for childcare. The car estimate may be off, but childcare dwarfs that easily.

You also have to mask. The vaccine is not high coverage enough to prevent all transmission. Mask up!

The point of controlling for variables is to make sure there aren’t other sources of variance influencing your endpoint. To claim covid vaccines act to increase immunotherapy effectiveness(as the study does) we need to rule out that the vaccine increases survival via covid disease outcomes.

If the vaccine changes ANYTHING about the trajectory of infection, and infection impacts survival from lung cancer, then you need to control for the other effects of the vaccine when you design a study about survival.
October 26, 2025 at 2:09 PM
Why wouldn’t it be meaningful in a study where they divide participants into vaccinated and unvaccinated groups?
October 26, 2025 at 2:06 PM
This entire discussion makes me think you don’t understand what “control” means in the context of a scientific study.
October 24, 2025 at 1:07 AM
how are you missing this. You have to account for COVID-related effects in this study because it’s a major confounding variable. The exact vaccine mechanism (infection rate or disease severity) doesn’t matter, you still need to measure and control for it! You’d need to measure and control for BOTH
October 24, 2025 at 1:06 AM
How? If the vaccinated group had less severe infections than the unvaccinated group that could still have an effect on lung cancer survival rates, and thus it would be an important variable to track.
October 22, 2025 at 1:04 PM
No. It’s important to control for the effects of COVID when studying the effects of COVID vaccines on lung cancer survival rates. That’s my point. The study is claiming the effect of the COVID vaccine is to modulate the immunotherapy treatment, so they would need to control for other mechanisms.
October 22, 2025 at 1:02 PM
That doesn’t change my point. You’d still have to control for that since it clearly would impact lung cancer survival rates
October 21, 2025 at 12:50 PM
Is the mechanism for increased survival not just that the vaccinated patients had lower COVID infection rates?

Wouldn’t they need to test the patients for COVID infection as a control variable? It’s very unclear how they ruled out the obvious effect of COVID infections?

Do you thinking covering your mouth when you cough stops the viral particles from exiting all the other times you breath?

A good lesson is that just because it doesn’t appeal to you personally, doesn’t mean it doesn’t appeal to many others.

How much water was used to make this uninspiring image generated from a stolen training set?

What evidence for the “lab leak” for SARS CoV2 doesn’t apply to the SARS CoV1 outbreak?? I feel like with their logic they must somehow both be lab leaks?? And somehow they had the same virus technology back in 2002 of course.

They do acknowledge it in the text, but using a population who already take OAC, presumably because they are at risk of clotting, as a study population for LC seems pretty poorly controlled? Perhaps this pop is just at higher risk of LC and the OAC brings their risk down to that of non OAC pop.

Dude what, women need to be critiqued for obscene displays of wealth, are you for real? The ruling class needs to be critiqued regardless of gender.

How will your answer help answer the question of how a person in USA should obtain travel vaccines (aka malaria, diphtheria, etc)?

Do you think firing 80,000 workers at the VA will impact services?

Eyes and eyebrows, those are pretty crucial data points for facial recognition actually.

lol why are you concerned about kids behavior towards the weird lies their parents told? Maybe if they’re afraid, they just have good sense for logic and reason.

Why do you come and attack literally anyone asking questions about this article? Can we not have a conversation?
January 9, 2025 at 1:52 AM
Ok friend, I’m sorry that I offended you so much by asking the author of a sub stack post to expound further on his topic of interest. I hope you don’t ever have to see any more discourse on the internet.
January 8, 2025 at 3:32 PM
Well you accused me of ignoring data, just thought maybe you’d be able to point out what I was ignoring exactly? But it seems you enjoy just making vague hand waving claims.

Why do you think that it’s inappropriate of me to question the downstream consequences of children’s covid infections?
January 8, 2025 at 4:43 AM
Explain to me how responding with peer reviewed scientific papers is “ignoring data and analysis?”
