So what Iām getting from this is: An experimental treatment we all have known about for months, that has a little bit of success but is no miracle cure is what Trump spent 2 days prepping for an announcement about. Also in those 2 days, he didnāt learn how to say the damn word right.
And the announcement is basically āI just heard about this thing. Why are doctors suppressing this?ā Because heās as dumb as a box of hair.

I will relentlessly mock anyone who pronounces the word plasma in this manner unless they have a speech disorder.
To be fair, I think Iāve usually said āPLAHS-maā the few times Iāve used it over the years. But this is - excepting the part where heās strongarming the FDA - such a nothingburger. Itās not even snake oil - itās just this thing with very marginal results that theyāve been trying all along.

I think we Do know about: at least (IANAD disclaimer) Iāve also been hearing about āconvalescent plasmaā for months - local blood drives have been asking for it since about April. The problems are (at least AFAIK) that it 1) doesnāt confer immunity to infection like a vaccine does; 2) it only confers a level of resistance - victims still can get an infection/reinfection; 3) even if it was/is an effective prophylactic against the Coronavirus, the plasma would still need to be collected, tested, distributed and administered under conditions that donāt exist in large areas of the country, and that this incompetent Administration is incapable of implementing in any case.
So not QUITE āsnake oilā, but not a āmiracle cureā, either.

Re: discussions of vaccine development timescales
One thing to realise is that development of medical treatments, drugs and vaccines is normally quite a leisurely process ā the teams working on the vaccine development work forty-hour weeks, take the weekends off. The leads apply for funding and order equipment and materials and lab space when the budgets and staffing levels allow, waiting months for the magic money tree to sprout a few leaves.
Once thereās a vaccine candidate or two thatās passed the in-vitro and mouse/rhesus tests it can take six months to enrol enough volunteers to even carry out the Phase 2 tests. After that thereās a couple of months waiting for the purple spots to wear off then the statisticians torture the data until it confesses followed by a conference a couple of months later where the research leads and their top subordinates get together and do Powerpoint at each other while schmoozing, lining up funding for other projects and generally figuring out what to do next which is the Phase 3 tests which takes a year or more to get enough human volunteers and enough candidate vaccine material to even begin. Once itās shown that the vaccine candidate is efficacious and the purple-spot thing isnāt statistically significant then they start talking to the production houses about fitting the manufacture of the new product into their already packed schedule, some time next year maybe for a few million doses annually.
For COVID-19 there is no limit on funding or restrictions on equipment and lab bench space and staffing, the teams around the world working on a hundred different candidates are not taking weekends off. Volunteers for testing are not a problem, the outcome conferences are being held on Zoom and the data is being passed back and forth between researchers on Google pages. Dedicated production facilities are being built for these candidate vaccines even before they pass the sniff test and production rates of hundreds of millions or even billions of doses annually are anticipated.
The normal safety and review processes are being adhered to, itās just that a lot of slack time in the ānormalā process is being squeezed out. There will be deliverable vaccines by early next year available in quantity. They will not be as good as the vaccines available two years from now but they will work and provide some immunity to some of the population for some time. This is a lot lot better than the current situation.

Biden and Harris Believe You Deserve Sanity in Your Daily Lives, The Rude Pundit
Just a nice review of both their DNC speeches.
Everyone is talking about Joe Biden and Kamala Harrisās speeches at the Democratic National Convention this past week as being a return of empathy or decency, but Iād go one further with another overarching theme: āRemember sanity?ā It was truly like watching a funhouse mirror version of our reality, except it took the warped world around us and made it look natural again. It was honestly like you could exhale and not just wonder what insane shit might follow after the last round of insane shit.
That was what Biden and Harris imparted: a sense that we could possibly exist in a normal nation, one that wasnāt constantly on the brink of exploding in violence or just collapsing into itself, unable to bear the weight of one manās insatiable ego. Harris vividly described our national anxiety: āWeāre at an inflection point. The constant chaos leaves us adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. Itās a lot.ā Then she went full inspirational speaker: āAnd hereās the thing: We can do better and deserve so much more.ā
ā¦
When Republicans and the right-wing commentariat declared that Biden and Harris and the whole DNC were āangryā or presenting a ādarkā perspective on the nation, itās bullshit because they werenāt angry at the United States. They were angry at how dark Trump and the GOP have made the country. It would be ludicrous not to be angry, and the whole thing could have been 100 times angrier and still not approached the level of anger that the bastards deserve.Because the implication of the showing of empathy is that Trump treats us with antipathy, the implication of the fostering of decency is that Trump is indecent, and the implication of the return of sanity is that Trump is insane.
Essentially, Biden and Harris are promising that we can take one fucking terrible thing off the table: the thought that our government is actively, intentionally harming us just for shits and giggles. And then we can work to actually make things better. At this point, goddamn, thatās enough.

I have first hand experience of seeing Pulpit Pimp Marianne in action because I saw her appear like a vampire before dying AIDS victims, telling them to stop taking AZT and instead use her healing oils and crystals.

We had a kid in my fifth grade class in Colorado Springs (ca. 1959) who refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance. His parents were members of some pacifist religious sect, donāt remember which one, who thought the pledge was militaristic. He was also one of 13 children and seemed chronically malnourished. I know the teachers were concerned with that, but his silence during the pledge was not an issue, another example of how these things only become issues when powerful adults with an axe to grind decide to make them one.
Today, almost everything is a big issue. I have spoken Spanish since I was a child. I was amazed when it started to become a political issue a few years ago. I had a woman walk out of a job interview some time ago because I asked her if she spoke Spanish (it was a useful, but not essential, skill in our line of work). She demanded that I explain why I was asking that, and offered the opinion that if ātheyā are going to come here, ātheyā need to learn English. I told her that we did not have time to teach them, and nobody would pay us for that anyway, seeing as how we were not teachers. She flounced out threatening to sue me. Iām sure she found some long-suffering lawyer to set her straight on what employment discrimination is, and isnāt.
re: #107 mmmirele
Agreed. I love my mom, but you know, last night she told me (a) that she thought I was looking for something because she had dreamed I was looking for something three times and (b) that she had a box of glassware and some kidsā toys in the attic. (FTR, I have the glassware and the kids toys went to the Goodwill years ago.) Itās like I told my brother, āWhatās going on in Momās head is not indicative of reality.ā
That said, if you want to hear the story about how she thought my brother was watching porn in front of her last Wednesday (remember, sheās legally blind and deaf as a post), let me know and Iāll tell it. If I can stop laughing.
kinda sad/frustrating that her dreams are more real to her since blind/deaf can still see/hear in their dreams, and they canāt when awake.

A few years ago I worked on a design project to revise packaging for a big bakery brand. They held focus groups to check consumer opinions on the new designs, and I was shocked to hear some of the anglo groups in California demand that there be no Spanish words on the package.

Circling back to points The Ghost of a Flea made in prior threads, anything becomes justifiable if itās the name of preventing a supposedly greater harm, and for trump supporters like the woman in the video, the greatest harm is America no longer being a country dominated by Whites.

The black-hearted cynical view is that Claudia has her motherās knack for alternative facts and the entire family is engaged in elaborate performance artā¦but given Kellyanneās character (or lack thereof), Claudiaās story as-is seems entirely plausible.

This is totally a wait and see for me.
re: #313 Interesting Times
Erā¦it might be a good deal more serious than that:
I am three thousand miles from this, and I know none of the parties. Taking sides appears to me to be a bad idea, even if one of them ā from here ā looks more sympathetic than another. How do I know whoās telling the truth? How do I know theyāre not all lying?
This is why twitter is a lousy place to argue. And lousy grounds for taking sides.

Claudia, family issues are best resolved in the family.
Find someone to be your support and make a time for your parents to sit down (2+2) around the family table.
Open by telling them clearly what it is you want to achieve and invite them to assist you. Make it adult to adult.ā Carolyn Beaumont (@BeaumontCarolyn) August 6, 2020
I donāt know what sort of problems Claudia Conway has or doesnāt have in her family. That sort of advice is the same crap I got in the Seventies.

If sheās telling the truth she needs help. If sheās lying she needs help.

It doesnāt matter anyway. Each group thinks the other has a false theology, they all think Muslims do, most think Jews do, and Muslims and Jews return the favour.
They all agree Iām going to hell though (however they want to define that).
Jews donāt believe in hell. Does that help?
re: #318 sagehen
Thanks! I was going to mention that as well.
My husband is an atheist. Iām Jewish, but Iām a whole lot less concerned with what people believe than in how they act.
My point before was that many people vehemently defend what they claim is the literal word of God, which in this case is rife with mistranslations and in which interpretation is everything.
It seems a fundamental (no pun intended) human challenge to live in a free and open society and be able to navigate the cognitive dissonance in saying that your own religious truth is neither negated or threatened by someone elseās different religious truth.
Perhaps this is easier if you have had the experience of living as a minority in a majority culture. I donāt need other people to be the same as me; I only need them to acknowledge my freedom to not be like them.

Looks like the problems with her daughter are leading to a change in career:

I think itās more a case of rats fleeing the sinking ship. āSpending more time with my familyā is a well-known alibi for a political figure seeking a way out.
