Why do you use inches for dick size instead of cm?
No for real, do you Euros use inches or cm for measuring dicks?

I booked a booster appointment. Walgreens made me declare that Iām obese. So at least thatās settled.

Worth following the link for an excellent use of one of my favorite gifs.
Where are you getting DEXA for body comp? Iāve asked for it and they look at me like Iām crazy.
Iām arguing with an honest to god antivax doctor in my local hospital networkās Covid report comments. Google search says he is affiliated with them. It took a while for him to come right out and say it but he finally did express the belief that people are ending up in the hospital not depite being vaccinated but because of it.
I told him he should not be practicing medicine. Guess Iām gonna see where this leads.

Iām not asking anyone to try to read this in detail but has anyone come across this study yet?
I canāt go checking every country for case rates and i havenāt been able to find a source to explain what the deal is. Study says vaccination is unrelated to case counts. Iām telling the guy either way the biggest benefit of vaccination is it keeps people from hospitalization and death, but i also find it hard to believe a legitimate study could find the results these guys say they found.
Looks like theyāre ignoring all kinds of confounding factors. Fig 1 is obnoxious as can be.

I donāt always read epidemiology studies during a global pandemic, but when I do I choose [wait for itā¦] ones written by a geography PhD and Canadian high school student.

I told him I figured something was up with it but in the meantime gave him the NY Times graphic showing almost all the high deaths per capita areas in the U.S. since June 16 are in the south where vaccination rates are low.
He and I both live in a low vax region. His own hospital report proves he doesnāt know what heās talking about. Or it would except he thinks partially vaccinated are being hospitalized due to vaccine complications and that theyāre not being reported properly because until they have two doses and 14 days they count as unvaccinated.
Also, itās a correspondence, not a real research paper. I pretty much stopped reading right there. Good rule of thumb is always figure that stuff out first before you waste a bunch of time reading complete bullshit. āWho are these people? Are they reputable? Is this journal reputable?ā

I know someone who got one here:

But if you just google something like āDEXA scan body fat Chicagoā (or other major metro) there are plenty of places that offer it.
Ah, yeah I looked before and closest place advertising it for body comp was over an hour away. Iāve had a DEXA for BMD (@ hospital) and when I asked for body comp the lady said she had no idea what I was talking about lol.
Thank you. Thatās the kind of thing Iām totally ignorant about. Very tired of seeing bullshit dressed up as legitimate scientific research. If itās posted by one of these apparently legitimate journals I never know what to make of it.
