These MIGs are a red hot potato as there are 23 of them - a significant escalation in weapons supplies... Seems like Poland and USA finally agreed that it's best all-round if Uncle Sam is gonna do the deed...
On a serious note the Ukrainian pilots may be able to fly the MIG’s but will the Polish pilots be able to fly the new American replacement aircraft ? I can’t see 20 odd planes making a difference anyway. It’s conventional artillery and multiple rocket launchers that’s doing most of the damage. Talk of lending the planes is more of a morale boosting move, I just hope the Russians see it that way.

Nuclear training at Matthew Moss circa early 80s
Chilling. Speaking as one who lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis as a teenager that view of future events was always at the back of your mind then and for years afterwards. We came very close to scenes like that by accident. We were very lucky. Maybe our luck is running out.

Vitamin D again, surely?
Was I wrong about Vitamin D? Anyway its Potassium Iodide that you need, apparently its added to table salt...
"Potassium iodide is a salt, similar to table salt. Its chemical symbol is KI. It is routinely added to table salt to make it "iodized." Potassium iodide, if taken in time and at the appropriate dosage, blocks the thyroid gland's uptake of radioactive iodine and thus could reduce the risk of thyroid cancers and other diseases that might otherwise be caused by exposure to radioactive iodine that could be dispersed in a severe nuclear accident".
"Iodized salt helps create the hormones that regulate heart rate and blood pressure. It also helps to burn extra fat deposits that could lead to heart disease. Salt promotes healthy hydration levels and creates a balance of electrolytes"

Interesting use of quotation marks. What are you quoting?
The repeated jibes are down to your self-adopted status as some kind of expert on these things. It seems a bit university of YouTube.
There's a fair few of us on this board who do have clinical and scientific qualifications. I've noticed most of us tend not to engage in the non-football stuff much anymore.

I've had thyroid problems for 20 years and eventually had mine killed off at Christies Hospital by drinking a dose of radioactive iodine.
Weight loss from iodized salt? Utter b+ll+cks. Clearly knows nothing whatsoever about the effects of the thyroid on the metabolism of the body, particularly when it fails to work properly.
I'll gladly listen to clinical advice from a qualified endocrinologist, but I agree that it's better not to quote junk from the internet 'scientists'. It's irresponsible.

Quote is from the Michigan Dept. of the Environment who you might expect know a little of which they speak.... and it was at the top of my Google search! I used quotes to show that I borrowed the quotation from another source in case you thought I actually knew anything about the particular subject... I am pretty sure you wouldn't advise anyone to drink Iodine? As it happens, there are many subjects with which I do have more than a passing knowledge , Vitamin D being one as I have been studying it for 12years unlike most GPs who had it mentioned to them on a wet Wednesday afternoon lecture in my personal experience. Indeed it was the incompetence and downright rudeness of an NHS Neurologist was got me started because he refused to prescribe my wife with Beta Interferon despite being asked to do so by a more senior specialist in the field with a distinct competence in MS by stating she "wasn't eligible". I began researching Vitamin D in search of a therapy for my wife following my finding of an Australian study which suggested Vitamin D had the same outcomes as BI without the side effects ( and cost) and started to dose her with what the medical establishment in the UK would have regarded as a huge amount, it has since prevented a major relapse in all that time. and I believe it is now becoming a mainstream therapy in some places, even the Mayo Clinic now seems to think it has value https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/multiple-sclerosis/expert-answers Although I disagree with their rather guarded assessment of the dosage required. My wife has not suffered a relapse for 12 tears since starting on Vit D So frankly, I have reached the stage where don't give a flying f*ck about anyone's qualifications, I measure people by what they do , not what a piece of paper says they ought to be able to do. By the way, my other current medical interests are in the use of AI in medicine and DNA Cancer vaccines, principally because I am invested in them (money where the mouth is and all that). And no, I don't give investment advice. I agree this may not be the place to get into scientific discussions but then I didn't start the threads. And I don't think the lack of a particular qualification should be a barrier to a bit of research and using a bit of common sense do you?

Do you make it into a paste, and rub it on, to stop the skin cancers?

This thread was started in Sept 2020, prior to the vaccine rollout.
Was this “FACT” proven to be correct?
Whilst we can be pleased for 49th's experience with his loved ones, personal anecdote as a basis for establishing FACTS is a fool's game
We've all had a gut full of 'expertise' being proven wrong over the past couple of years (as if we didn't know before), but scientific method exists for a reason - it's absolutely not about FACTS but about how closely the latest theory comes to observed evidence across statistically significant numbers of cases
Army training, early 1990s was to get in to NBC suit (nuclear, biological and chemical) in less than 2mins, when the bomb goes off: drop to the floor, dont look at the flash, await the outward pressure wave, await the returning pressure wave, get up, pat yourself down with fuller earth, pick up your rifle and run like chuff around an assault course. Never got told what to do after that.
All caveated with "but if your dead, you obviously can miss out the assault course part"
