    Depressingly, a US Congresswoman has proposed using ivermectin in the context of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak, as has a former Representative. From Reuters, "Fact Check: No evidence that ivermectin can treat Cyclospora infections", 17...

    Well, this is turning into a real s&#t-show state side. I've started to see some quasi-conspiracy postings on Facebook and it's likely to get worse if this outbreak does as well. Some problems include the nature of the parasite that makes it...

    Again, that is not the standard here. It is up to you to provide evidence supporting your claim.

    "Challenge"? That's not how thing works. What's your claim about those lights? What do you think they are? For me, they're just light blobs in terrible photographs, coming from any of the numerous possible mundane sources of light which abound...

    A little site housekeeping here. Tl,dr: how to use EX and sources. @shawnfrye we have a number of practices here we use when talking about various claims. You'll note your Opening Post (OP) now has been tagged as: "! Post presented statements...

    The photographs look like early 20th century hoax photographs of ghosts and ectoplasm. The BVM is less distinct than the Cottingley fairies. No holograms needed, just a darkroom. Evidence for this? -From reliable sources, not eccentric blogs or...

    I'll disagree with you a bit here. While we can't "debunk" a religious experience, we can look at the purported evidence for various occurrences and see what we can come up with. In @shawnfrye other thread, Sitrec was used to show a supposed...

    It's harder to trace because of its longer lifecycle, but one of the reasons we know how much higher the number of cases is compared to the yearly average is because FoodNet was tracing it since the 90s: 1997 FoodNet begins conducting...

    I've always preferred my veggies cooked rather than raw, so this seems a very good time to continue that practice. However the statement "It's under control", coming as it does from the mouth of RFK jr, leaves me apprehensive. He is noted for...

    I think that is pretty typical for most of these claims. The designated site is more about access and/or commercial activity than it is accuracy. The Roswell "crash site" is closer to Corona in the middle of nowhere. I believe the Sirocco NM...

    I feel @JMartJr stated his raisins clearly, the cookies are of modest size (this might be subjective) and therefore you deserve two. In the currant summer weather, maybe the Sun Maid him particularly generous.
