Your ignorance is duly noted. Doing a residency is equivalent to being a physician assistant, which is not to be confused with being a physician. We while you're allowed to see patients, legally you are under a qualified and board certified physician. In order, you go thru medical school, once you've got enough of that behind you, you graduate to intern and once you're done with medical school you get to enter residency. You're still not a physician however, because you haven't passed your medical board testing/certification and depending on the specialization, residency can take many many years. Then you get to be a real physician. Fauci skipped all that to become the bunglecrat be is. 

But I'll just add this to your immense Mountain of subjects you're ignorant about. 

You said he "never practised medicine" which is clearly wrong.

Residents are physicians, look it up.

Willing to accept the word of an actual physician on the subject? Calling @Gerry Maddoux

Guess what, you can get a degree in accounting. You can even pass the CPA exam, but you don't get to become a CPA until you've worked at a CPA firm for a minimum of a year (and often longer) and a senior CPA signs off on you. In "doctor" parlance it's the same thing, you're not in the physician club until your superiors sign off on you. This is a good thing.

Sure, but will you? 

You also said " a physician sees patients"  is Gerry currently seeing patients?   Are his continuing education credits sufficiently up-to-date to maintain professional standing?   If not, according to you, he is no longer a physician.

Pedantic nonsense I've come to expect from the mini mind Enthalpic. Oh right, in your fantasy you're this great genius, only thing standing in your way is all of reality!

A retired physician is still called physician in the same way a retired President is still called President. It's a mark of respect, another term you're no doubt unfamiliar with, since you've never done anything to earn respect in your pathetic existence.

I'm starting to think we should agree with the left and tax the living crap out of the 'wealthy' because if that had been made clear 1 year ago I highly doubt this would have happened.

 

To your point the rich today are taxed very little.

Boat, you realized how many rich people migrated and invested in the US because of the lowering tax for R&D and jobs in the US? You are complaining about the core value that made US number 1 in the world.

Secondly many of these people loaned lots of money from the bank to have these kind of income so their debt are big even with these kind of high income. High risk high return.

Lastly It showed nothing about the accumulated wealth. So I can be a multi millionaire and if the income tax is high, it increases the risk of my investment. So I rather to keep the money in bank or assets (gold, for example) and have a moderate in come of 200k just to cover my living standard. 

Most of them don't live on our taxes and contribute more than us. So what is the complaining about? Because they take higher risk or have greater skills or purely luckier or have a wealthy father?

These statistics has nothing wrong, but the one showed it to you seems to have an agenda to do the misleading.

Well, well, well.  Remember when the WHO team's investigations were not going to include the Wuhan Institute of Virology?  Change of plans, and how!  Look at the photo in this story.  It's still cold in Wuhan.  Why the open windows?  Photo op for U.S. team member Peter Daszak, one might assume?  In the video, the amount of activity is laughable since it is only a small gaggle of mostly CCP news people attempting to make it look like there might even be a protestor or two there.  Not gonna happen.

Then, as for the "investigation", it appears that they asked questions and the people at the WIV answered and, not surprisingly, there was no one admitting anything, while constantly ruling out anything untoward.  They mention the "bat lady" and have her tell them she still thinks it came from a cave over 1,000 miles away in Yunnan Province. 

That's it.  Investigation done, photos/videos taken.  Job done, chaps.  Bob's your uncle!

If US increase income tax, guarantee eventually we will have a country lack of investment, manufacturing, or R&D, startup and mostly from Government subsidies which is not efficient at all.  Most of the money from the  people will be all about speculation assets to pay capital gain much lower  than personal income tax with many assets and equity bubble. and majorities of  young people will not invest time and money in skills for international productivity competition and living depends on Welfare or put money in speculation stock or houses and gradually losing these to hedge fund and bank. Not a healthy sustainable economy at all.

The graph is false on multiple fronts. First, it doesn't account for the massive inflation/devaluation of the dollar. Back in 1945 for instance $35 bought you an ounce of gold guaranteed, no fluctuations. $2 bought you a steak dinner. When purchasing power parity is factored in, being wealthy then was dramatically different than today. 

Second point is Alternative Minimum Tax. When that legislation was passed, it affected a whopping 200 taxpayers in the whole country. Now how many does is affect, given that a dollar today is worth $0.03 compared to a 1945 dollar? Simply misleading

Looks like the AG of Oklahoma thinks differently

AG Mike Hunter works to get back $2 million Oklahoma spent on hydroxychloroquine

 

Updated: 7:03 PM CST Jan 27, 2021

OKLAHOMA CITY —

Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter is leading the charge to get back millions of dollars spent by the state – your taxpayer dollars – during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Part of that includes a $2 million purchase of hydroxychloroquine, a drug former President Donald Trump touted as a possible treatment for the virus. Hunter said he’s confident they can work this out with the company the state bought the hydroxychloroquine from – a company he said the state has worked with in the past.

Oklahoma was one of several states to purchase hydroxychloroquine during the early stages of the pandemic, as there were talks about whether it could be an effective treatment for COVID-19. But with little to no evidence it had any effect, the attorney general’s office is working to return those pills to the company from which the state purchased them.

“I think the very practical approach we’ve taken is to work with the company, find a purchaser and recoup the state’s money,” Hunter said.

Gov. Kevin Stitt’s office said in a statement Wednesday that “every decision Gov. Stitt makes is with the health and lives of Oklahomans in mind, including purchasing hydroxychloroquine.”

Enjoy your mythical treatment turned out to be just that a myth.

 

Stupid move. they should just use the drug. It is safe and effective. All doctors should have it on hand to give patients early on. a good idea is to give it along with vaccination or better yet, instead of vaccination in conjunction with a vitamin D supplement and chelated zinc.

Trump didn't even use HCQ when he caught covid.

Trump's lies killed far more than under use of HCQ.

Trump did use HCQ for a long time before getting infected after he went off the treatment in favor of having the WH staff checked for infection daily in their new CV19 protocol since late summer.

Spot on.  The governor was/is being portrayed as part of the problem and his chair is in jeopardy.  He will do what the press tells him to do, as the people are, no matter if it makes medical or financial sense or not.

Trump was following the (flawed) science. He didn't want to quit hcq but the freaking FDA yanked it. The fact that they suddenly change the rules just shows how fked up the system is and how deep the corruption goes. Biden didn't do sht and you know it. 

 

The notion that a regulatory body would not be captured by the moneyed industry it is regulating is entirely ludicrous. Shut down the FDA and return Pharma companies to full personal financial liability and criminal negligence liability that Congress, outside of its powers, had freed them from, along with other corporations. The only people resistant to this are ideological zealots and even they have their price.

The notion that a physician can be sued for malpractice for prescribing a drug but you're not allowed to sue the drug company that made it is a preposterous farce, and demonstrates Deep State collusion better than anything. The UniParty has made billions playing this grifting game, and Trump was in their way.

Purdue Pharma wasn't sued for defective drugs, but because they were nothing more than drug pushers who gamed the system to allow Class A opiates to be widely prescribed. That lawsuit started with the physicians being sued and their lawyers were able to point to the "studies" Purdue produced to mitigate their guilt. Had the drugs not worked, or killed patients outright instead of hooking them like junkies (something Purdue claimed would not happen) the immunity would have prevailed. It's clearly a broken system still.
