While what you say my be true…if a disease is eradicated, that cuts off the research funding tap…look at all the billions of $$$ spent on medical research into cures for shit like cancer, COVID, even the common cold…yet with very few exceptions for things that anti-virals actually work on, we still can’t “cure” viral caused illness…we can only treat the symptoms.

The cure for the Hep-C virus has entered the chat:

The cure for the Hep-C virus: Shut the fuck up with that shit.

Modern medicine has cured/eradicated more diseases than it has not cured. What is left is the most difficult.

Cancer isn't a single monolithic disease. It is many diseases, all requiring different treatments and approaches to cures. The actual cure for cancer will require gene therapy.

Viral diseases are difficult for reasons you obviously do not understand. We have anti-virials that will kill just about every virus. Except we cant GET to where the viruses hide in the body. Anti-virials cannot enter living cells. That's where viruses hide.

Nope, that meme is STILL snake oil salesman propaganda.

And, the "cure" for most viruses is just a vaccine.

Yup, and virus mutate hence they have to make new flu vaccines each year.

No one is being forced to make use of modern medicine, me personally I'm really happy it exists.

Also happy that I don't have be concerned if an insurance company will deny me access to medical treatment...

I mean the mental gymnastics in these absolute morons is astounding.
It's on the intellectual equivalence of "A man can not get pregnant".

So yea, a woman cannot do as many pushups as a man.

I think we have to come up with a new measurement of intelligence to gauge a certain segment of intelligence. You know like we have dog years. We will have con-iq.

I propose that an inherent understanding of the core concepts of "a man can not get pregnant" and "a woman is not as strong as a man" is used as a baseline of 100 con-IQ points and is roughly equal to a conventional 70 on the Wechsler scale, just on the edge between borderline and mild retardation.

I guess if Walsh and kin was not limited by circumstances of birth genetics epi-genetics and life style choices(excessive glue snorting) they would realize a couple of things about women in the military like double the amount of barrels pointing towards the enemy in every sense imaginable, and it adds significantly to moral and discipline, it's one of those "greater than the sum of its parts" things.

The thing for a normal sized intellect to realize here is that these specimens do not care if the talking points is for the betterment of anything unless it's for the betterment of themselves. Thus degrading the military is perfectly acceptable when it is personally advantageous for the individual even intermittently.

So on the other hand maybe dont attribute to stupidity that which can be explained by malice? Evil? Psychopathy?

I also love how the efficacy of males are never in question when this topic comes up. I worked around some real big bags of dicks when I was in/around the mil, but strangely only women's capacity for work effort was ever questioned. It was great fun hearing the 'lowering PT standards' argument from fuckheads that could barely pass the test themselves.
