2·22 hours agoI’m not really upset with you, maybe I shouldn’t come out with such a negative demeanor and make you defensive. On the other hand, you started it, with your first dismissive comment about the whole article. I just wanted to post about public health in the third world and something good going on, and you seem like you’re really hell-bent on proving that there must be someone who’s really wrong here, other than you.
I am done. If it was all a misunderstanding then sure. Like I say, I just mostly don’t care at this point.
95% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV.
Source: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/cervical-cancer
I thought the WHO said 99%, since numbers are different depending on which you ask, but this says 95%. Screening and treatment, which are also included in the article you’re claiming to have read, will very effectively prevent harm from the other 5%. Thus eliminating it as a public health problem. It’s a great thing, and here you are in the comments INSISTING that other people need to absorb your misunderstandings of the situation and I guess view it NOT as a good thing, or something.
Youre defending people who are saying the article says 94% of these can be avoided, when the article says 94% of cancers occur in those countries.
I don’t even know why I’m in this conversation. These are not mutually incompatible statements. 94% of the problem exists in the third world, and 95% of cervical cancer is caused by HPV. I don’t know why you are saying that the first statement somehow DISproves the second. They’re both true. Multiple statements can be true, even if they involve similar percentages.
That is, in fact, such a weird type of misunderstanding for you to be so confident about that I feel comfortable just ending the conversation here. Think, read the sources, learn. Or don’t. I don’t care.
You broke the code lol.
95% is the low estimate, the WHO says it’s 99%.
Edit: I am wrong, the WHO also says 95%. I don’t know why I thought they said 99%. Regardless, almost everyone says 95% or more.
He read it as “elimination of cancer” first, read only the headline and then got really upset without reading the article because cancer is not just one thing (true!), and has now noticed, and for some reason edited it to retcon into getting equally mad claiming “a cancer is not just one thing,” which is total nonsense, but superior I guess to just admitting he made a mistake.
HPV causes
99%95% of cases of cervical cancer. The article is mostly talking about outreach to the third world sharing things like HPV vaccines and saving hundreds of thousands of lives. The guy’s just yelling and being wrong. And, of course, some other lemmy.world yelling idiots are upvoting him, because they love yelling and being wrong. Just ignore him.After this and a group of people from lemmy.world who got really mad earlier today about a “paywalled” article I posted that didn’t, in fact, have a paywall, I think I may defederate my systems from lemmy.world. It’s honestly just too dumb an environment to produce useful comments. PugJesus and [email protected] and the cat pictures are the only good things on it at this point, I think.
Edit: It was more than one person who got mad about the “paywall,” I think it was at least 8 people.
Edit: I don’t know where I got 99%, the WHO says 95%.
23·1 day agoYeah, let’s get rid of the people who do the work, and not say anything about changing the decision process that led to no one wanting to buy the airplanes anymore.
That oughta do it. If we fire enough people, we can sell 1 airplane per year and stay profitable. It literally can’t fail.
They’re not showing the belly for you to rub it. They’re showing the belly because they’re happy and comfortable, and don’t feel a need to protect their vulnerable spots. If you’re molesting their belly out of nowhere, they’re going to feel betrayed and mess you up.
The commencement of whining about how the victim defending themselves is horribly unfair, unreasonable, and must be stopped at all costs, is always a feature of bullying. I don’t know why, but it is.
“Wombat Kombat” was right there, though.
You’re right, I should have said “requires a hearing.”
It looks like there are less legal protections in place than I thought, and the “justice system” that’s holding the trial is provided by the DOJ. So you do get a hearing, but Trump has even more ability to make it into an unapologetic horror than I thought he did. That’s not good.
Adjudicating whether or not someone is guilty of a crime, or in the US illegally, requires a trial. Doing that for millions of people all of a sudden within a system that’s already backed up by more than a year is completely impossible.
In other words, they are absolutely talking about deporting innocent people of the wrong ethnicity without any attempt at due process, and anyone who thinks different is living in a dream world. And then, once they’re done with that batch, they plan to move on to other classes of undesirables.
Just let him have the food, you monster.
If anyone’s curious, it takes GM 2.6 minutes to make $500k of gross income.
2·5 days agoI wouldn’t check it, though. If I were going to go that route, I would just transfer my whole account over. I think just waiting until the fix gets implemented is the way to go.
That’s a shame… if it’s set for an upcoming milestone then probably it’s not an urgent problem, but that will undo a lot of the usefulness I can do in the meantime, yes.
Mostly, empires get soft from the middle. The military and economy is still so strong that as the people get soft after generations of cushy living, they’re still protected by the hard exterior, until finally some internal calamity brings the rottenness of the whole edifice into view, and adversaries start picking off the loose pieces from the edges as they gradually fade away over time after the collapse.
You could say that’s what’s happening here, but definitely Russia’s espionage and propaganda operation that put Trump in charge is a huge coup while the US is still pretty strong at the edges. They found a way through the barricades to strike at the rotten spot, and they’re nowhere near done twisting the knife to maximize the damage.
I thought the headline was metaphorical. No. She scooped it out of the toilet and brought it in like show and tell, and they still denied her care.
It’s also relevant that 100% of the troops that are permitted to operate inside the US are under the control of the individual states. You could say that Trump can just install loyalists and deploy the real federal army inside the US, but I cannot possibly imagine that they would obey orders to fight domestically against the National Guard.
The founders of the US did some things wrong, but they also had some pretty solid foresight about some things.
Edit: I can’t type
I think they’ve wised up to the necessity of posting in the timezone of the targeted country at this point.
And yes, it is weird that they went into so much detail about how deeply these accounts care about state-actor issues, and how little about domestic political or social issues that are more normal for the ideologies they are claiming to speak for, without drawing the obvious conclusion. “Just one of those little mysteries,” they seem to say.
