    just off the top of my head, the polio vaccine initially infected around 20% of the children it was used on with polio. right now we have an opioid epidemic because of a bunch of unethical doctors and pharma pushed opioids for profit. you can also include heroine in this since it was invented by doctors.

    doctors used to bleed ppl, shock ppl, lobotomize ppl, treat ppl with urine, use speed for dieting, and prescribe mercury. 100 years from now ppl will probably look back at some of the procedures doctors do now with horror.

    Lebron is an injury prone cry baby, cop hater, BLM supporter that hates white people. Race baiter hater..

    Will be happy to see him retire even though I'm a Laker fan. Fock this guy.. I'm sick of him already.

    I'm still not over the fake racist spray paint gate scandal he made up..

    I've been saying this for years. High paid doctors who go to school for years kill more people than anyone else.

    Got to admit, it's really put the cat amongst the pigeons out west. Three really good teams terrified of being that #7 seed. There will be a day when the #7 team doesn't make the playoffs and nobody wants to be that first case.

    Problem is it just gives another advantage to the elite teams, having that extra rest while less talented opponents have to work...

    LeBron is really going to be mad that he can't shit on the country or wear his BLM propaganda at the summer Olympics.

    Lakers might be a better team without Lebron now. Players don't stand around and watch Lebron dribble and ball hog.

    Lebron isn't the same player anymore.

    Well, AD needs to still get back into playing form, this Laker team could be a different and better team in a few weeks even without Lebron. AD was on injury reserve for months and just came back.

    I may be wrong but I may be right.. We'll see Macster?

    He said so himself he's not the same player -very unusual for a player talk that way. But maybe just being a drama queen.

    He's setting himself up for failure with that comment. He's throwing in the towel. Lebron is done..

    AD has never led a team anywhere. Lebron has led multiple teams to the finals and titles. No way in hell are the Lakers better without him. Yeah, he's a first class dick, who I hope can miss time due to covid since he's a non vaxxer but the Lakers can only go as far as he takes them. Most normal people would have been out for the rest of the season the way the dude rolled up his ankle. Lebron is a medical miracle. I can't hate on his game.

    I've rolled my ankle so bad years ago where I couldn't walk, worse then Lebron. I was back in 2 weeks. 3 weeks as good as new. Stop your non sense Mac. Lebron has access to the best medicines and doctors also. Dude quit.

    It’s true. I suffer from a rare disease called post finasteride syndrome. It’s pretty much left me disabled and destroyed my entire life. Doctors/big pharma are rarely held accountable for their mistakes. There’s thousands of us suffering from finasteride usage (a commonly prescribed hair loss drug which lowers male hormones). The disease is horrific. It’s unbelievable to normal people when I explain it.

    People who suffer from medical errors don’t have much recourse as we can’t sue pharma to find a cure or treatment for us. We also have to fund research on our own. Big pharma controls the narrative as they are the ones who fund all the major studies. A lot of the medical community also shuns us. Opioid crisis is a major one that people can look to if they blindly trust the medical establishment.

    And here we are...

    If the Lakers don’t win most of their remaining 5 games, the play-in round awaits.

    Lakers will lose the first play in game then win the second then be favored against the number 1 seeded jazz. This league is so stupid

    lakers would definitely be favorites. Utah is a regular season team and they might not even have Donovan Mitchell for the first couple of games.

    I'd be shocked to see the Lakers dogs in any round. Home court advantage isn't a big deal. Seems they're just about over their injury issues also.
