Week Ending 6/5/22


As some may be aware, I also try and combat woo medicine and pseudo-science. I do so in a piece meal fashion as it can be VERY time consuming (ie making sure information I pass along is accurate) and I just do not have the brain power I once did.

 

This story hits 3 of 5 topics that interest me. https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/missouri-lawmaker-rejects-plea-offers-heads-to-trial-next-month-in-federal-fraud-case/article_030eb513-df0b-516a-81b0-504e76da7338.html

In the recently filed lawsuit, patient Thomas D’Alessandro has sued Derges for alleged medical negligence. D’Alessandro alleges that Derges was using “a fake stem-cell treatment to alleviate lower back pain.”

The new suit includes Derges’ husband Daniel Derges as a defendant too as well as their clinic Ozark Valley Medical Clinic. From the St. Louis Post Dispatch:

“…in his lawsuit, D’Alessandro says she held herself out as a doctor during a presentation to potential patients about stem-cell treatments.
At the presentation, defendant Patricia Derges gave the impression to participants that she was a licensed physician and that her clinic provided ‘stem cell’ injections capable of treating, among other things, chronic pain,” the lawsuit notes.
After two rounds of injections costing more than $6,000, D’Alessandro said there was no improvement in his back pain.”

It’s hard to imagine there would be any improvement from just the fluid. https://ipscell.com/2022/05/mo-rep-patricia-derges-already-indicted-for-alleged-stem-cell-scheme-now-sued-by-patient/

From my understanding Derges is unable to seek re-election as a GOP candidate. Whether she could run independently is unknown. https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/article_9fafdaaa-151b-5f44-9b9b-3ffd1177155e.html

My issue, beside the perp killing a man, the self-defense claim doesn't hold water IMO. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/05/straight-man-acquitted-murder-said-felt-violated-finding-hookup-man/

A straight man who beat a gay man to death was just acquitted after he said that he felt “violated” because the gay man posed as a woman in order to have sex with him.

Virginia Tech football player Isimemen Etute, 19, was found not guilty on a charge of second-degree murder in the death of Jerry Paul Smith, 40, after the jury deliberated for three hours.

While technically this was not a trans panic case, “because the law took effect in July 2021, a month after the killing took place.” The defendant chose to argue self-defense from the out-set.

JFC!! Another shooting this time in Tulsa less than a mile from an acquaintance's SO work place. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/police-responding-active-shooting-tulsa-224600585.html Early reports have 4 deaths. The shooting occurred just before 5PM local time.

 

Here's the thing Brian, a third-grader is harming no one and later can reverse that decision if they choose. An 18-year old, purchased two AR-15 style assault weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. He killed 21 people including 19 elementary school children. He cannot reverse any of those decisions. https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1530262187926863873

Seriously? How accurate do you think one must be when firing ammunition that shreds human flesh?https://twitter.com/60Minutes/status/1531049748618039296

Are you that fucking stupid Derek? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1263945071107278

As a side note:: So initially I was going to state, “Just hold down the trigger and spray.“ But that would be incorrect. Semiautomatic “assault weapons” such as the AR-15 do not “spray fire.” In the same vein, “the term 'assault weapon,' is a political and pejorative term, useful for creating mental images of military weapons capable of deadly spray fire.” https://law.siu.edu/_common/documents/law-journal/articles-2018/fall-2018/12%20-%20Wallace%20-%20jr%2012%208.pdf

Sounds like a really bad Kevin Sorbo movie. https://www.rawstory.com/jack-hibbs-evolution/

Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills on Sunday blamed the teaching of evolution for a mass school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

During an interview on Newsmax, Hibbs argued that policymakers should focus on promoting Christianity instead of gun safety laws.

Oh,,, and Pastor Hibbs, in answer to one of your questions, his grandmother was dealing with being shot in the face, by the perp. She was unable to monitor his whereabouts.

Brian Kemp received 73.7% of the vote compared to Taylor's 3.4%. She didnt just lose, but got her ass whooped. Like a true Lindell devotee she has accused her opponents of cheating. You say, "God can do anything he wants to," but yet he didnt ensure your win. How do you know that God has not spoken through the results as they are? Maybe he didnt want you to win. Do you speak for God? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shqULJj7w4E

The GQP, like Taylor, just don’t appear willing to accept the results. And that refusal to accept the realities of a losing election further illustrates the direction of the far-right and Trump Republicans: They’re reluctant to trust anything that doesn’t go their way.

John Oliver did wonderful piece on her - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEa3sK1iZxc

PatriotTakes was busy in regards to this contribution from MTG. I have touched upon an earlier clip but missed these gems (Greene is difficult to listen to for more than 10 minutes.)

Greene wondered why there were so many young people identifying as part of the LGBTQ community lately and suggested that it was a conspiracy to make the entire country queer. https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1531424178301173760

She rebutted the assertion that white supremacist groups are “the most dangerous terrorists” by saying that “some of the most dangerous people in America are trans-terrorists.” https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1531315586684395521

Basically MTG is attempting to turn Monkeypox into the “next” gay disease. https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1530954246270730240 The disease can be spread through sex but is not a sexually transmitted infection. Close contact with bodily fluids of infected people or animals can spread the illness. https://www.newsweek.com/monkeypox-msm-gay-bisexual-world-health-organizarion-who-sex-1709175
