General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment

* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
"Japan plans to launch a fresh round of COVID-19 vaccinations from May, starting with the most vulnerable members of society, health ministry officials said Wednesday.
The ministry’s plan, which also includes expanding inoculations to the rest of the public from September, was approved at a panel comprised of health experts, heads of local governments and others.
The fresh inoculation drive comes despite the government’s decision to downgrade the legal status of COVID-19 to the same category as common infectious diseases like seasonal flu. The downgrade takes effect May 8."

Far and away the most common question I get from those who took one of the COVID-19 vaccines is: “how do I get this out of my body.” The mRNA and adenoviral DNA products were rolled out with no idea on how or when the body would ever breakdown the genetic code. The synthetic mRNA carried on lipid nanoparticles appears to be resistant to breakdown by human ribonucleases by design so the product would be long-lasting and produce the protein product of interest for a considerable time period. This would be an advantage for a normal human protein being replaced in a rare genetic deficiency state (e.g. alpha galactosidase in Fabry’s disease). However, it is a big problem when the protein is the pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Spike. The adenoviral DNA (Janssen) should broken down by deoxyribonuclease, however this has not be exhaustively studied.

This leaves dissolution of Spike protein as a therapeutic goal for the vaccine injured. With the respiratory infection, Spike is processed and activated by cellular proteases including transmembrane serine protein 2 (TMPRSS2), cathepsin, and furin. With vaccination, these systems may be avoided by systemic administration and production of Spike protein within cells. As a result, the pathogenesis of vaccine injury syndromes is believed to be driven by accumulation of Spike protein in cells, tissues, and organs.
Nattokinase is an enzyme is produced by fermenting soybeans with bacteria Bacillus subtilis var. natto and has been available as an oral supplement. It degrades fibrinogen, factor VII, cytokines, and factor VIII and has been studied for its cardiovascular benefits. Out of all the available therapies I have used in my practice and among all the proposed detoxification agents, I believe nattokinase and related peptides hold the greatest promise for patients at this time.
Tanikawa et al examined the effect of nattokinase on the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. In the first experiment they demonstrated that Spike was degraded in a time and dose dependent manner in a cell lysate preparation that could be analogous to a vaccine recipient. The second experiment demonstrated that nattokinase degraded the Spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells. This reproduced a similar study done by Oba and colleagues in 2021.
Tanikawa T, Kiba Y, Yu J, Hsu K, Chen S, Ishii A, Yokogawa T, Suzuki R, Inoue Y, Kitamura M. Degradative Effect of Nattokinase on Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2. Molecules. 2022 Aug 24;27(17):5405. doi: 10.3390/molecules27175405. PMID: 36080170; PMCID: PMC9458005.
Nattokinase is dosed in fibrinolytic units (FU) per gram and can vary according to purity. Kurosawa and colleagues have shown in humans that after a single oral dose of 2000 FU D-dimer concentrations at 6, and 8 hours, and blood fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products at 4 hours after administration elevated significantly (p < 0.05, respectively). Thus an empiric starting dose could be 2000 FU twice a day. Full pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies have not been completed, but several years of market use as an over-the-counter supplement suggests nattokinase is safe with the main caveat being excessive bleeding and cautions with concurrent antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs.
Based on these findings, nattokinase and similar products such as serrapeptase should undergo well-funded, accelerated preclinical and clinical development programs. The issue at hand is the urgency of time, similar to that with SARS-CoV-2 infection and empiric early therapy. It will take up to 20 years to have a fully developed pharmaceutical profile to characterize the safety and efficacy of nattokinase in the treatment of vaccine injury and post-COVID syndromes. Large number of people are sick now and many believe empiric treatment is justified given sufficiently low risk of side effects and potentially high reward. My recommendation is to discuss this with your doctor or seek a specialist in holistic or naturopathic medicine who is experienced with the safety profile of nattokinase in a range of applications.

As someone who has spent a lifetime in science, I am dismayed to see people in positions of responsibility who treat modern science and medicine as just another target in the culture war. It feels like a new dark ages is just around the corner. mRNA vaccines show so much promise to protect people from serious illness and premature death.
"Ridiculous —
Bonkers Republican bill in Idaho would make mRNA-based vaccination a crime
It's unclear if the two lawmakers know what messenger RNA is exactly."
It is true that for 20 years, I did rather happily interpret legislation, and then argue my interpretations in court.......was a pretty happy career...........but I do know that on the trustworthiness ranking, we lawyers come below used car salesman.
It seems to me that Libertarianism so shrinks government, that there will no longer be sufficient control to deal with the dark side of human nature in society.
Bob A
You simply do not understand the basics of Libertarianism, Bob.
The entire focus of a Libertarian government would be to provide prompt justice and a fair and efficient police force, to deal with those who harm others...
(Unlike today, when people have forgotten that justice delayed is justice denied, and there are so many unnecessary laws around that the lawyers play with and the police get all bogged down with...)
It seems to me that Libertarianism so shrinks government, that there will no longer be sufficient control to deal with the dark side of human nature in society.
I guess we'll find out when the Canadian Libertarian Party of Canada wins power...........please do not hold your breath........I'd hate to see an old friend expire
Even if medical-grade masks worked perfectly, how many people use them correctly? I have seen people wearing them outside when it is cold/damp, then going into warm places where it's pretty obvious the mask will be wet. I've seen people continue to wear the same mask after spilling fluid on it. I've seen people not covering their noses. I've seen people use the same mask over-and-over day after day. I've personally worn a mask that I got from car dealership that was clearly just advertising on some cloth.
Virtually the entire government response to Covid was useless, probably ultimately harmful, and pure theatre.
"The 2023 Cochrane Review on Physical Interventions Against Respiratory Viruses
But does science matter anymore?
What is the Cochrane Library?
“The Cochrane Library contains high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. It includes reliable evidence from Cochrane and other systematic reviews, clinical trials, and more. Cochrane reviews bring you the combined results of the world’s best medical research studies, and are recognized as the gold standard in evidence-based health care.”
This is not some short-term project, but a long-term, serious meta-analysis review. As stated above, the Cochran reviews are considered the gold standard for health care agencies and professionals.
Doctors training at Harvard in Global Clinical Research, the Cochran methodology for medical research meta-analysis is taught as the preferred method.
"The pooled results of RCTs did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks. There were no clear differences between the use of medical/surgical masks compared with N95/P2 respirators in healthcare workers when used in routine care to reduce respiratory viral infection."
This large group of international researchers reviewed dozens of rigorously correct, randomized clinical trials of "physical interventions" against respiratory diseases. These diseases included influenza and COVID-19 during the pandemic, and these researchers failed to find even a “modest effect” on infection or illness rates from any type of mask.
Furthermore, the effects that masking is having on health, childhood development, speech development, etc. are unknown and are under-investigated. Ergo - governments aren’t funding this research. Without government funding, the answer to the damage done will never be answered."
For three years, I have. been derided and abused by some here on chess talk for stating the obvious truth that Masks do not work any better than
a chan link fence would prevent mosquitoes getting through. In fact, the only member I recall agreeing with this was Vlad Drukelec. Even this physical
demonstration did not work.
It is like living in a world where everyone is hypnotized to abandon any common sense and believe the Word is flat. A return to the 14th century! Overwhelming evidence that early interventions like Ivermectin and HCQ combos and even nutraceuticals work was completely dismissed by the government-owned MSM so that all roads led to mass vaccination that were and are a complete and total disaster. Lcokdowns were proven to be a completely useless intervention and yet the MSM and politicians (Trump Included) made ridiculous declarations what a great idea it was to destroy countless business and livelihoods with this crazy move.
Who benefited from all of this insanity? The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) more than anyone! Their GDP in 2020 flourished while every other country was devastated. This compelling book shows how the CCP orchestrated duping every country into lockdown.
The next scam is climate lockdowns, aka "15-minute cities", even though my friend Bob Armstrong has yet to explain why for three hundred years, the temp has risen only .5 degrees every hundred years at the same rate with or without human CO2 emissions for half of that time period.
Instead, he parrots mainstream media and tyrannical governments that have a proven track record of anti-science lies and corruption, replete with scientists and Drs that are forced to lie even though actual data shows the opposite.

"This risk was I in 550, much higher than other vaccines. To claim these vaccines are "safe and effective" while minimizing and disregarding the adverse events is unconscionable"
