>Never trust any statistics about immigrant crime rates in Europe.
Its not just in Europe, same is true in North American, Australia and NZ. In America arabs are considered white by the FBI and in many cases the FBI also lumps hispanic immigrant crimes in with whites in order to create false impressions. It even happens in Japan where nearly all crimes committed by US military members stationed in Okinawa are done by negroes and hispanics, but are vaguely blamed in the Japanese press on "Americans"

avoiding lab work that has tangible results allows one to delve into pure pilpul without being limited by having to make your pilpul dovetail with your lab results. einstein and feynmann used the same trick in their careers. thats why they were constantly able to produce grandiose claims without ever having to back them up with useful results

>Things are so bad that a new world record was set in 2023: more than 10,000 research papers were retracted from academic journals.

>The numbers don’t lie: Scientific publishing has a problem, and it’s getting worse

>peer review is a broken system that needs its own honest review.

>The scale is impossible. Let’s do the math: 3 million peer-reviewed papers published every year, multiply those by two-to-three reviewers, times four-to-eight hours per reviewer… that math doesn’t work. Yet we persist in this dreamlike fantasy that somehow peer review is going to ensure quality.

>The fragility of the peer review system were spotlighted in the 2013 “Who’s Afraid of Peer Review” affair, in which science journalist John Bohannon created “a scientific version of Mad Libs” — a nonsense paper that was accepted by 157 of 255 pay-to-publish open-access journals (an acceptance rate of 60 percent).

Here it is /sci/ and /sp/ are both on 3 points.
If /sp/ wins their match against /toy/ we need a win, and depending on how much /sp/ wins by we might need to a win by a certain margin, though we're already ahead of them by 3 GD.
If /toy/-/sp/ is a draw we can advance on either a win or a draw against /x/.
If /sp/ loses, /sci/ can advance even on a loss, as long as we don't lose by 3
The good news is that /x/ looks somewhat weak, the bad news is that they're a white whale that we've gone 0-1-2 against.

Going into the last match on one win and one draw is fairly typical, but depending on the what the rest of the group looks like it can be dicey.
We ought to be very thankful that we ran up 3 goals on /sp/ and only lost by 1 against /toy/, but we'll only know what our tolerances are after their game.

There's contingential correlation when two things correlate but cannot be logically connected. Then, there are a lot of "random" correlations where one could very well have something to do with the other.

>The junior author of the retracted paper get the blame for the doctored images that they didnt make
Kek. Worms in the institutions almost guarantee that any future results come out most likely is not significant and not replicated because they're performed by fraudsters. You will not reach the escape velocity. Bahahahaha, fags.

Because the retracted paper is unlikely the single one foundational premise that other papers depend on. For example it could simply be used as a point of discussion (e.g. we found this result in liver stem cells but they found this other result in marrow stem cells).

A research paper cites around 50--150 other papers.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF AUTOPSY FINDINGS IN DEATHS AFTER COVID-19 VACCINATION

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0379073824001968

Conclusions
The consistency seen among cases in this review with known COVID-19 vaccine mechanisms of injury and death, coupled with autopsy confirmation by physician adjudication, suggests there is a high likelihood of a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and death. Further urgent investigation is required for the purpose of clarifying our findings.

You did have "conventional" vector vaccines.. that was AstraZeneca and J&J and it was dogshit. I think you mean recombinant sub-unit. But all the data from Taiwan or Australia just confirmed they were just as bad with less efficacy because you were still using the spike protein to model your vaccine. Maybe innactivated like Valneva would have been safer for younger people but we'll never known since there's never going to be enough data for it.
