Yeah, but he called some innocent person a “nincompoop”?
That’s just too far.
Such offensive language has to be stopped, especially when such fascistic words are slung around by fascists.
Besides, models show that droughts in the head are the result of a negative feedback loop.
Our is it a positive feedback loop … I’ve never been able to get that straight.
Not that feedback loops should be straight.
I support their right to go either way … or both.

Criticism of the “climate change” narrative is now so heavily embedded in Government policy it won’t be allowed to be criticised.

Yes David. This morning the commercial TV channels ( & probably the ABC) reported the national protests negatively, drawing attention ( as was predicted) to the presence of neo Nazis and references to the Sovereign citizen groups.

Their ABC is describing yesterday‘s protests as anti-immigration, when they should be describing them as anti-mass immigration.

ABC ignored that the gatherings and protestors are multicultural Australians

Yet radical islamists address the pro-Palestinians rallies and are never called out by the media.

Germany has revealed that ‘Mohammed’ tops the list as the most popular name among welfare recipients, alongside ‘Ahmad,’ according to newly revised federal government figures, highlighting a dramatic demographic shift in the nation’s social support system.
By the end of 2024, 5.42 million people were receiving welfare benefits in Germany, with a striking 48% being foreigners, a sharp rise from 19.6% in 2010, as reported by the Federal Employment Agency. The unemployment rate hit 6.4% in August, pushing the number of jobless individuals past 3 million for the first time in a decade, fueling debates over immigration policies and economic strain.
How much more cultural enrichment and improvement can Germany take?
In time even their cars will be more reliable too!

Flags look to have been mass produced, pissibly using coal in China (burns 13,000,000 tonnes of coal a day), and then transported – probably airflown, rather than camel-backed – to Barcelona.

Perhaps Thunberg should familiarise herself with the facts. I recently visited Israel and the massacre sites (and elsewhere) and spoke to survivors. Last time she “visited” Gaza and got arrested the Israelis offered her and her goons to view the videos her beloved Hamas friends took of themselves and proudly livestreaned as they committed the Oct 7th atrocities but she refused. This time perhaps she should be forced to watch (like Alex in Clockwork Orange).
Incidentally, despite Israel being in an active war against terrorists, I felt far safer walking around the streets of Israel than lawless Melbournistan.
And there is an Israel Government phone App that warns of incoming missiles and tells people to go to the nearest bomb shelter (and how long they have, usually 0 to 90 seconds). No one takes any notice as the missiles are usually intercepted. Also, the mood of Israelis is very positive in general plus the economy is booming as evidenced by cranes everywhere building multi-storey buildings. That’s partly because many Jews are leaving Europe due to antisemitism. Some Jews are starting to leave Australia for the same reason, probably more will follow as antisemitism increases here as well.
523
David you are so right re the refusal of the pro Palestinian mob to view the evidence – such as Silence after the Screams. – the mobile footage filmed by the perpetrators of the atrocities on Oct 6 themselves. I have repeatedly implored critics of Israel to view the irrefutable evidence of the abominations of that day . In every case, they have refused. Says it all.
480
David there is a short video under ‘Hot Topics’ today of an incident that occurred Oct 7th at this site https://drrichswier.com/

Thanks New Chum.
The video is at https://drrichswier.com/2025/08/31/israel-releases-shocking-never-before-seen-footage-of-hamas-atrocities/
I never watch these videos as they are too upsetting although I have seen snippets in the past. The description of that video is bad enough.
That people march every week in Australia in support of the democratically elected Hamas terrorist government of Gaza defies belief.
280
One of the outcomes of the Hamas (and UN people) invasion of Israel that was impressive was the story about the teenage soldiers who went to their base and drove a tank to fight the terrorism. And by all accounts successfully repelled them
150
I should have included that the teenage soldiers were all females
100
What happened to Global Warming? And of all the conflicts around the world, why is Greta Thunberg now so concerned about Israel? Is she just a professional agitator? World famous for achieving nothing at all except personal fame. Is this a lifetime job? Has she just moved on?
Perhaps a personal visit to the front line in Ukraine would be instructive. Or Rwanda/Congo. Or Azerbijaian. Or a quick trip to South Sudan? Or storm the border between India and Pakistan and berate both sides?
It is clear that no one stole her exciting childhood. It is simply over. Now she is an equally angry adult living in a world which is identical to the one when she started, except the least of all problems is temperature, man made or not.
We are also free to ask, who is paying her? The only area where she is utterly consistent is the refusal to face facts. Perhaps the world’s first UN influencer.

Have to love her moniker, ‘The Goblin of Doom’.

Scottish Dundee Axe Girl Strikes Back – AI Braveheart Parody/Tribute Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vviurY3SIY.
Excuse me if enjoy a redheaded chic playing the pipes a little more than what’s proper.
Not to mention, being half German and half Scots, with a sprinkle of Viking, by way of the Confederacy, an angry young lass with a knife and an ax reminds me of family.
430
Excellent!
170
It is!
60
I was wondering about the ax girl.
The girl has gained significant attention online, with some social media users portraying her as a folk hero, dubbing her “Dundee’s Braveheart.” A crowdfunding campaign has raised around £30,000 to support her, despite the ongoing legal issues.
Misinformation Concerns
Police have warned against the spread of misinformation related to the incident, particularly regarding the identities and actions of those involved. They have stated that there is no evidence supporting claims made on social media about the Bulgarian couple being involved in any wrongdoing.
Funny thing about warnings.
They often go unheeded until it’s too late.
Next thing ya’ know people start waving flags and stuff.
Hungry to make heroes out of someone that might shouldn’t be one.
But that’s how heroes are, a bit impure.
Trump is like that.
I want to see Ax Girl at the White House.
A smiley photo with the other Braveheart, both with raised fists saying “fight, fight!”
I believe the British police almost as much as I believe an Anthony Fauci Congressional testimony.
351
Supposedly there is CCTV footage showing that the Bulgarian couple did not do anything, and were approached by the girls. Is this true? who knows…there are many people with irons in the fire on this.
When there is a young girl waving a knife and axe around on the street, there is obviously a very big problem somewhere in her life, and it’s just really sad.
51
Ok, where is it?
Is it the same footage that the girl’s image comes from?
Did the couple release her photo?
If so why.
Anybody ask them?
Is there sympathy for the girl?
Her ethnicity defaults her from the usual oh so British carefulness on declaration of guilt.
The alleged innocents faces could be obscured.
Her face wasn’t.
Funny which faces of alleged criminals the British get to see and which they don’t.
The girl’s problem might be the results of the actions of her government.
And the inactions of the police.
In my Democrat run US city, the police don’t arrest 14 year olds that steal cars at knife pint.
The British government may have supposed themselves into a corner.
The British government is always supposing against their own people.
Brexit was ‘supposed’ to be a Brexit.
That’s what the damn song is about.
And the dozens just like it.
80
Please calm down. There is no need to be so aggressive. What exactly did I say that is so terrible?
I am just passing on what I have read… I do not know if it is true or not…I never claimed you were wrong, or that I believe the girls were guilty of anything… I just do not know what the reality of the situation is.
As I said, the fact that there is a young girl on the street with a knife and an axe is an indication of a big problem of some sort in her life… which is just really sad, whatever the cause.

More on that
“In Case You Missed It”
A brief follow-up on yesterday’s post. How many of you realized that the video of Mayah Sommers brandishing weapons to keep her sister safe was made and posted by the would-be assaulter? That he, speaking clear English, goaded her to show the weapons so he could film her and have her arrested?
He knew that law enforcement would back him, and that she would get in trouble, probably arrested. It was deliberate on his part to to harm her because she kept him from doing whatever it was he wanted to do to her younger sister. She resisted, and resistance must be crushed, not to mention that she was a female who defied him and as such must be punished. That is the Islamist way.”

Iran has a major water crisis. They are running out of water.
Perhaps they should have focused on fixing their water supply rather than developing nuclear weapons, sponsoring terror around the world, and attacking Israel.

Back when I worked within an urban water research program, some smart people said that access to water was a potential cause of major conflict in the Middle east. I can’t recall the detail, but I was shown a map depicting a vital river flowing through – I think – four countries. Those downstream were at the mercy of those upstream for most of their water, so the potential for argy-bargy was clear.
140
A lot of rural towns in vicdanistan do their bit to make sure Adelaide, (full of leftist ideas), gets it’s fair share of treated effluent.
Sadly, many years ago, the waterboards along the river system started to implement land irrigation of the treated wastewater instead of flushing it back into the river.
Maybe they got a form of mad cow disease from consuming the treated effluent. Maybe consuming solid waste leads to crappy thoughts? Someone should look at the water supply in Canberra.
140
I remember when the three Sydney sewerage ocean outfalls were built between 1984-1990.
Arguments were put forward at the time that this was a huge waste of water and it should have been treated and pumped across the Blue Mountains and used for irrigation.
The ignorant classes, including politicians, were strongly opposed to the idea and did not understand that treated sewerage could be just as drinkable as any tap water.
Thus Australia remains largely unirrigated and water-short. A total lack of vision by the second and third rate people who rule Australia, as usual.
170
It was suggested that tunnels for sewage, through traffic and rail be bored beneath the Blue Mountains East to West.
30
“A total lack of vision by the second and third rate people who rule Australia, as usual.”
I’m not sure Two-Tier Free-Gear Never-Here Kier and his mob – ‘Cabinet’ is distinctly presumptuous, suggesting coherence – are even fifth rate.

And yet Israel has an meagre water supply but even exports water. It has done this through efficient water management, drip feed irrigation, reservoirs, recycling of waste water, harvesting water from unconventional sources like run-off from roads, and desal plants of which Israel is a leader in reverse osmosis technology for desal..
231
True, David
The Israelis are incredibly efficient:
At restricting Palestinian water access.
Under Oslo Accords Israel obtained 80% of the West Bank’s waters, with the remaining 20% Palestinian, a percentage which, however, did not concede the Palestinians any “ownership right”.[24] Of their agreed on allocation for 2011 of 138.5 MCM, Palestinians managed to extract only 87 MCM, given the difficulties in obtaining Israeli permits, and the shortfall caused by the drying up of half of Palestinian wells has to be partially offset by buying water from Israel, with the net effect that per capita Palestinian water use has declined 20%.
In 2023, Israeli attacks on Palestinian water supplies both in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank amounted to roughly 25% of the 350 water conflicts which occurred that year globally. On average 7 such attacks, either by settlers or the army, resulting in either contaminated or destroyed water wells, pumps and irrigation systems, took place each month that year.
415
Prior to the 2022 invasion, Ukraine / Russia tensions were increased when Ukraine cut off the North Crimean Canal that supplies the majority of water to Crimea, causing severe water shortages. As always, civilians suffered the most as a result of this pointless war.

There is a water crisis in Iran because of the large dams built with Beijing funding, arrogance and ignorance is a nasty mix. What is the value of hydroelectricity if you have nothing to drink.

Saw Albo at the bush summit, telling the meeting that coal powered generation was so inefficient that that no new plants had been built in. Australia in the last thirty years.
This, according to him, was why wind and solar was being rolled out. He stated there was NO ban on building coal powered plants, permits just needed to be applied for!
There are really no adequate words to describe people that can lie to your face and expect people to believe you. Of course he never mentioned that Hazelwood in Victoriastan was one of the cheapest producers in the world, until the state government simply increased the royalties on the the brown coal that is essentially FREE to the point where the cost of coal just didn’t justify its continued existence.
470
What amazes me is that farmers are encouraged to recycle vegetable matter, local tips make and produce compost for sale and use on municipal gardens. Yet when the Earth recycles the carbon via large coal fields we are meant to just leave it where it is.
I can’t think of a valid reason why we shouldn’t be burning the coal, it was all atmospheric carbon at one point and due to erosion, and subduction at plate boundaries, one day it will all be released again. Seems it’s only a problem if we humans do it.
260
Sambar, we went to the Bush Summit in Wagga Wagga. Likewise, Albo gave a smooth speech in which he distorted the entire energy predicament. Unfortunately, the Bush Summit does not permit questions from the audience and certainly discouraged interjections. So, although there were advocates of the bush speaking, many absurdities from Albo went unchallenged. I feel that questions from the audience should be included next year – although I suspect that this would deter Albo & the Premiers of states from appearing.
350
” I feel that questions from the audience should be included next year – although I suspect that this would deter Albo & the Premiers of states from appearing.”
Haha!! Not a chance! The first thing you would have to do would be give your name, address and telephone number, and then your pre-approved question would be distorted into a promotional speech by the politician, with no comments allowed! Control of the narrative…

If royalties are allowed to kill coal fired power stations, we need to balance things up with royalties on other, other-wise free, natural resources like wind and sunshine. (We also effectively have royalties on water.)

* Two gas turbine generators for New South Wales

Dennis,
Good work re stations.
Why not file an official complaint against the broadcasters who approved these porkies for public consumption. Seems to me that you have a watertight data set. We badly need honesty in reporting. Geoff S

Agreed Sambar, Albo is such a lying grub.
He arrogantly said “no new coal fired plants have been built in this century”, (presumable he means 2000 onwards). Also he didn’t specified if he was referring to Australia only but in every way he is wrong, hundreds of new coal fired plants are being built world wide, but even in Australia there has been a number of plants built “this century”: Callide C -2001, Millmerran -2002, Tarong North -2002, Kogan Creek -2007, Bluewaters- 2009 and Collie A just misses the stats of being “in this century” as it was commissioned in 1999.
He also made a bunch of false claims about climate change, regarding frequencies of cyclones, bushfires and floods which can all be easily disputed and debunked by looking up data, but our useless and corrupted media don’t bother to do that or call Albozo out on his lies.

Never have I known ordinary Australians to hate Australian Governments, federal, state and local, as they do now.
In the past, even if one’s preferred party wasn’t in power, the Government was tolerated rather than hated. Now, even if your preferred party is in power, they are still hated.
The reason is that Australian Governments no longer work for, or listen to, the people.
The only people who like Australian Governments are Elites such as the subsidy harvesters, public serpents, life-long welfare dependents and union thugs like the CFMEU.

Not surprising with people like this in it-
“ACT senator David Pocock has hit out at the anti-immigration protests staged in Australia’s capital cities on Sunday, saying that the messaging was “really damaging” for Australia’s migrant communities.
Among the tens of thousands who attended the nationwide rallies were far-right figures and known neo-Nazi organisations, including known neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell, who addressed the Melbourne rally from the Victorian state parliament building on Sunday. ”
Deflecting a protest against Govt policy straight into attacking migrants, and linking it all to NAZ1s of course. SMH…
Another Govt parasite we would be better off without-
“Minister for Communications Anika Wells says the results of the government’s final report into age assurance technology means tech companies have no excuse for social media sites to avoid introducing age verification in December. She said three methods were proven effective, including providing your government ID, getting your face scanned, and age inference, meaning platforms can estimate how old you are based on your online activity.”
..and another one in a job that shouldn’t exist.
“Communications and Sport Minister Anika Wells has condemned the violent March for Australia rallies held around the country yesterday.
“There were awful scenes, and there were also known racists who were trying to spread division and hatred,” she told Nine’s Today. “And I think it is particularly appalling the people that were aggressive and violent towards our police officers.”
You can tell what they think is the Police’s job by the way they speak, ‘Protect the politicians from the people’
Lambie hates the Australian flag being flown-
“Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie has lashed protesters who took part in anti-immigration rallies in Australia’s capital cities on Sunday, describing them as “un-Australian”…“If you’re out there, then put your flag down because quite frankly, it’s really un-Australian, ..We don’t want to see that.”

It is never explained by the experts how the floating sea ice is expected to remain static for ever, nor do they comment on the fact that the only reason there is floating ice is because of the huge masses of ice on the land forcing the leading edges out into the water.
Its never happened before I tell you, its all unprecedented!

I have a friend diagnosed with breast cancer.
Apart from standard treatment she will take, she wants to try fenbendazole, possibly in conjunction with ivermectin.
There is not much information on specific fenbendazole protocols.
It seems that some people take a 200mg pill daily. And what about other supplements? Also what should the protocol for ivermectin be? Is there any evidence of a benefit from combined fenbendazole and ivermectin?
She figures that since these drugs are both extremely safe, the worst outcome is that they will do nothing

Ross,
I do not know you from Adam, nor do I know your motivation, BUT –
What are you doing, suggesting medication then stating that you are not professionally trained?
Do you not realise that you are able to harm public confidence in professionalism? Do you wish to bypass the mountains of medical research that would have mainstreamed CBD and Curcumin if they demonstrated worthwhile value?
FWIW, personally I detest the waste of money and resources on alternative medicines and witches brews. If organisations like Caruso and Blackmore made and marketed overseas proper chemicals, they would provide more authentic jobs here and improve our balance of payments.
But I am just a scientist thinking in hard scientific ways rather than pop- science ways of low value.
Geoff S
11
” Do you wish to bypass the mountains of medical research that would have mainstreamed CBD and Curcumin if they demonstrated worthwhile”….profits!
The whole idea of the medical industry is not to cure you, its to keep you alive and taking their medicine! We are alive today because people developed those alternative medicines and witches brews that kept our ancestors alive and breeding. The same cannot be said for modern scientific medicine in a world of sicker people and a falling population.
People’s incentives and motivation have more to do in business than science. I would point to the recent research on statins, showing they save so very few people that they have an overall negative impact on society.
10
>Do you not realise that you are able to harm public confidence in professionalism?
Public confidence in professionals and professionalism seems to be at an all-time low and is largely self-inflicted.
Case in point – climate professionals.
>Do you wish to bypass the mountains of medical research that would have mainstreamed CBD and Curcumin if they demonstrated worthwhile value?
The, “mountains of medical research” seems to be trotting slowly at the heels of the mountains of profit being made from these alternative medications, “complimentary medications”, or “nutritional supplements”.
The pharmaceutical industry is already heavily invested in vitamins and nutritional supplements seeing them as a major revenue opportunity and are expanding into this area through acquisitions and product launches.
The “nutraceuticals” sector has been growing fast as consumers increasingly focus on preventive healthcare, with supplements surpassing over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in market size since 2020.
Public distrust of medical professionals and the medical and pharmaceutical industries has played a large part in that growth of traditional medicines, herbalism, naturopathy, and folklore medicine.

You didn’t read the paper did you? It literally comes to two conclusions without mention of turbo.
1. The opposite of everything you wrote,”The subjects who received SARS-CoV-2 vaccination showed a substantial reduction in all-cause mortality, and a risk of cancer hospitalization that varied by infection status, cancer site, and the minimum lag-time after vaccination”, and
2. “Given that it was not possible to quantify the potential impact of the healthy vaccinee bias and unmeasured confounders, these findings are inevitably preliminary.”
Did you have thoughts about Iodine in meat too?

“”The subjects who received SARS-CoV-2 vaccination showed a substantial reduction in all-cause mortality, and a risk of cancer hospitalization that varied by infection status, cancer site, and the minimum lag-time after vaccination”, ”
Which means, as it is written on the page-
“WHAT THIS MEANS
The strongest, statistically significant increases were found for breast, bladder, colorectal, and overall cancer risk. Nearly all other cancer sites also showed an upward trend, though not statistically significant due to wide confidence intervals. Only lung and prostate cancers showed no evidence of increased risk.”
So, pick which you like-
“The subjects who received SARS-CoV-2 vaccination showed a substantial reduction in all-cause mortality”
or
“The strongest, statistically significant increases were found for breast, bladder, colorectal, and overall cancer risk. Nearly all other cancer sites also showed an upward trend, though not statistically significant due to wide confidence intervals.”
Take the jab, die of cancer, refuse the jab, die of something else…

Well, the FOWF (F-Off We’re Full) march is over and ze blob is now cowering in the corner, whimpering. Good job people!
/sarc
How long in decades has the FOWF concept been around now?
The young-uns won’t know.😉
Moving on:
Of course the Covid years set the stage for repression and the reversal, looming large.
Governments everywhere – YOU are solely and fully responsible for everything that’s happened and going to. YOU pushed people to the limit, and men being men, bottle up all the angst, frustration, resentment and rage.
Years of it, just waiting for the slightest trigger for it to be released with force enmasse.
2026 will be the Year of massive global fightback against government lies, fraud, corruption and totalitarianism.
UK:
We love our country and want it back.
No more cultural dilution or cultural replacement.

What’s that? Protests against government corruption this month? That’s going to be a long March! 😎
Ah yes, but that’s the REAL problem now isn’t it.
Big picture, not the signature in the corner…
But wait, you also get…Indonesia!
“Protesters torched city council buildings in Surabaya, looted lawmakers’ homes in Makassar, and clashed with riot police across Jakarta. The death toll has climbed, hundreds have been arrested, and the images pouring out of Indonesia resemble the kind of unrest that marks a breaking point, not a bargaining phase.
This isn’t just about parliamentary perks anymore. It’s about austerity. It’s about a government slashing local budgets to fund central programs like school meals, forcing regional authorities to raise taxes by up to 1,000% in some districts.
It’s about watching your water bill double while lawmakers buy new SUVs. It’s about being told there’s no money for infrastructure while political appointees fly business class.”

Not sure if you’re also being sarc about it being a FOWF march, or just the part about the media cowering.
But I don’t think it was a “we’re full” march. I thought it was a slow the flow march in relation to immigration. But also not the only reason for it.

Yes, that action take points off his score. Before that statement, I was actually starting to like the bloke. There are so many other ways he could have approached this issue. Maybe just brushed it off as humour and compared Andrews to our own socialist leader – Albanese. Nope, clueless, just like Jane Hume, Peter Dutton and the rest of them. Cant think on their feet and got no idea of grass root politics without support from some woke advisor.

Wot rot.
Tyler Durden Journalist
Tyler Durden is a pseudonym used by a group of editors at Zero Hedge, a financial blog known for its contrarian and often conspiratorial commentary on markets, politics, and government policies.
The name is derived from the character Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt in the film Fight Club.
The identity behind the pseudonym was revealed in a 2016 Bloomberg article, which identified Daniel Ivandjiiski, a former securities trader, as the founder and primary force behind the site, alongside Tim Backshall, a credit derivatives strategist, and Colin Lokey, a former Seeking Alpha writer who joined in 2015.
Ivandjiiski confirmed that he and the two other men were the only individuals writing under the Tyler Durden name since Lokey’s arrival.

>Do you believe…
There’s all sorts of estimates being guessed at, but in the fog of war the truth is nobody really knows.
Pick a number, wait until it’s all over, and there will be more estimates. You can choose to believe one of the estimates, none of the estimates, or all of them it doesn’t really matter. The most correct estimate is – way too many.
If Ukraine had simply accepted the Minsk Accords, they’d have saved tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives at minimum, avoided a trillion dollars worth of damaged infrastructure, and the loss of several Oblasts.

Nice story H, but ‘Tyler Durden’ didn’t write any of it, its a copy and paste from the link he put in.
That is from Armchair Warlord, who has been following the war since its SMO days, when Putin stated what he wanted and he hasn’t changed anything- A demilitarised Ukraine, a Ukraine not in NATO, and the destruction of the Right Sector people running around with German WW2 tattoos and badges.
“Which leads me to the brutal conclusion: Putin doesn’t want to see Ukraine conquered. He’s never publicly expressed any desire for that. The consistent Russian policy is instead to see Ukraine – a “free” and “independent” Ukraine, having come to this impasse of its own sovereign will – utterly humiliated. Putin wants to make Zelensky put on a suit, come groveling to the Kremlin, and sign a treaty that will see the Maidanite government surrender its arms, disgorge huge amounts of territory, and reverse every single anti-Russian policy position it ever had. Ukrainian nationalism will be discredited overnight by the hands of those very nationalists, and the economically irrelevant, demographically shattered rump state will be sucked back into Russia’s political orbit in a matter of days.”
It would be a different place if so many Ukies hadn’t joined the German’s side and celebrated killing Russians in WW2, that culture has lead to the current situation. America and Europe supporting NAZls because they are useful fools for the CIA.

I think the main strategy in Ukraine is global post-national MIC R & D.
Come on, the drone warfare thing is the greatest new war toy since gunpowder.
Poor Ukraine.
Nukes are no good, they make too much of a mess.

Trump underestimated The Blob when he unexpectedly became titular boss in 2016.
A decade later The Blob has become all Blobness.
It has even absorbed the Hippies.
So no peace deal for Trump.
It’s like one of the space alien movie monsters that has the faces of all the people that it absorbed with multiple mouths to feed.

“How Many Times Do You Let Them Be Wrong?”
“Meanwhile I bet you missed this one.
A class of drugs called beta-blockers — used for decades as a first-line treatment after a heart attack— doesn’t benefit the vast majority of patients and may contribute to a higher risk of hospitalization and death in some women but not in men, according to groundbreaking new research.
An entire class of drugs — given without question to anyone who had a heart attack — does not provide benefit to those with normal or near-normal ventricular ejection fraction.
But what it did do was elevate your risk of death by three times.”
