RE: Faked Peer Reviews - Whoda thought!!
I would suggest the covid vaccine "science" was flawed from the beginning, as were the generality claims, and is only getting worse, by actual downstream evidentiary data.
What is your definition of “vaccine”?
Do you expect equivalent immunity or more broad and longer duration of immunity than natural immunity provided by an infection?

RE: Faked Peer Reviews - Whoda thought!!
“Science” was used in the sense of the field of study would not have been able to build upon published studies and data if those had been bogus (not one person). When others try to replicate or use past studies that are bogus, their data do not match what was previously reported.
A YouTube report of 511 retracted papers hardly supports the conspiracy theory like missive above, nor does the 4 retracted papers per 10,000/year in the link I provided. Since you are in favor of providing evidence, where is it for your claim of 50% of government funded published studies (~25% of the published papers) are fraudulent. At ~450,000/year of bogus papers it should be easy to find the evidence.
Conspiracy theories have a nice advantage, proving something doesn’t exist is difficult/impossible.

RE: Faked Peer Reviews - Whoda thought!!
There were about 28,100 active scholarly peer-reviewed journals in mid 2012, collectively publishing about 1.8–1.9 million articles a year.

It’s not the existence of fraud I refute (the scientific community finds and reports these hence the retractions link); it’s the unsupported claim of the scale that I refute: 50% of government funded published studies were fraudulent.
Most academic R&D is funded by a few sources. The federal government has long been the largest funder and provided more than half (53%, or around $45 billion) of total funds in 2019.
link
You’d think with as much fraud as claimed there would be millions of publications that are bogus and thousands of PhDs awarded annually based upon fraudulent research.
In2020,thenumberofdoctoraterecipientsdeclinedto 55,283 (from 55,614 in 2019); this is the first drop since 2017.
link
With that many bogus published studies and bogus PhD scientists, science would never have been able to build upon past findings.

U Haul registers all their trucks in AZ (look it up). How does the lack of U Haul trucks in CA relate to CA regs on registrations?

RE: New Working LGDs
First off:
59 lambs born in 1 week from 32 of the 66 bred ewes (as of Sunday night).
A typical day involves ~5miles of walking with 500'-600' of elevation gain on our hilly farm. Cleaning out lambing pens and rebedding them. Filling water buckets. Filling hay racks. Trimming hooves, vaccinating, and deworming on new mothers. Ear tagging and recording info on new lambs. Letting out ewe&lambs that look good to free up space for new mothers and lambs.
Just got a txt from my wife. This morning there were 7 new lambs from 4 mothers and the lambs were all mixed up.
Penny has been a doing puppy stuff, nothing unusual. However, for the safety of the very young lambs we’ve been keeping Penny physically separated from the lambs (until they are bigger).

RE: New Working LGDs
my choice would be to administer preventative medications everywhere in the US.
Doug, DVMThis would be my recommendation as well, especially compared to the treatment protocol if your dog gets heartworms. Also keep in mind an infected dog is now a reservoir of heartworms for local mosquitoes to draw from and inject into other local dogs. Part of the treatment protocol is the use of topical mosquito repellent.

RE: New Working LGDs
The treatment protocol covers 1 year; ~6 months of restricted activity (ideally crated and leash walked). For a dog that has never lived in a house it is not possible to keep him calm while crated or even in the house at night (LGDs do most of their work at night). We’ve come up with a compromise plan (after consultation with Dr Doug and our friend who is a Vet). We will keep Duke in the house during the day to facilitate giving meds and monitoring his health during treatment; he will be locked in the barnyard with the sheep at night (limiting his desire and ability to patrol) and Penny (1 yo Anatolian) will be locked out of the barnyard at night to patrol the field (and not able to play with Duke). We have determined a dose of anti anxiety meds that will allow Duke to tolerate being housed at night during the critical times right after treatment with adulticide for the worms.
Since Penny is not old/mature enough to have gone through lambing she will be kept away from the lambs at night and will be pulling a drag (something to slow her down but not prevent her from patrolling) during the day while with the ewes and lambs in the field.
The first possible day for lambs is Friday Mar 3. Last week we found a ewe cast (upside down unable to get up) in the morning that we thought was dead. She had started to bloat from being cast. We managed to save her and since then have had 4 more ewes go down in health which we now believe is due to hypocalcemia (low calcium). The ewes go from looking weak, to unable to stand, to lying flat with labored breathing. SubQ injections of calcium gluconate restore them within 30min to where they can stand. One of the sick ewes did abort a set of twins; I found her in the field with the head of a dead lamb sticking out of her. We had to pull both lambs out of her because she wasn’t having strong enough contractions.
Added: I forgot about the ewe that prolapsed before all the issues with hypocalcemia; she died a few days after we put everything back inside her.
The hypocalcemia is likely the consequence of adding grain to their diet too late/slowly. Last year we started late and increased their rations too quickly leading to many having bloat and a few died from it.
Probably TMI, but you asked.

RE: Can the grid keep up with EV use?
Yep, I have and there are studies that demonstrate it (reduced the risk of getting Covid-19). The devil is always in the details of the study which the popular press & social media (and general public) tend to ignore In the case of masks it’s in the compliance of use and effectiveness relative to no mask use. One has to read the experimental details.
https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/multiple-studies-show-face-masks-reduce-spread-of-covid-19-cochrane-review-doesnt-demonstrate-otherwise/
Mask mandates have proven to be about as effective as speed limits.
Much like the general public expects vaccines to be 100% effective (no such vaccine).

RE: Can the grid keep up with EV use?
I have posted links to studies (not opinions websites; peer reviewed studies) which you have implied are fraudulent. Where’s your evidence refuting these studies as fraudulent; where’s your links to published studies supporting your opinion?
Let’s see if I can summarize your stance.
This is my opinion on climate change, you cannot refute my opinion with peer reviewed studies on climate change because of this example of a fraudulent study from a national institute of health grant, and until you refute my opinion with studies I won’t provide studies to back up my opinion.
With this “logic” you clearly win.

and for providing a mere glimpse into the research fraud estimated at about 50% of so-called ‘white papers’ (often funded by the obscene amounts of highly politicized Gov’t Grant ‘moola for evidence’) and the world of those who are Smart by about 1/2, actively bordering on a University kleptocracy…

Let me guess, those studies which support your point of view are valid and those that don’t must be fraudulent.
