2. Somebody's doing the job

to sen. Lauren book and the sun sentinel. The dems walked out on this fool and his evasiveness.

3. Dr Ladapo: "... derp ..."

Do seatbelts save lives?
Does alcohol abuse increase risk for cirrhosis?
Is smoking associated with risk for lung cancer?
Do lifestyle choices affect rates of heart disease?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Dr Ladapo, when an intervention is statistically significant, when an intervention reduces illness and death, we encourage it, right?

Dr Ladapo, when you see that 98% of COVID hospitalizations are nonvaxxed (2% are vaccinated) then we should deem that as statistically significant, right?

You say, Dr Ladapo, that you are “married to data.” When your data-bride says, "statistically significant," that means we get to encourage vaccinations, right?

Seniors who are unvaccinated are fifty times more likely to be hospitalized (vs. fully vaxxed and boosted). This is strong evidence from your data-bride, right?

Dr Ladapo reply: "... derp ..."

Thank God for Sen. Book.
