Then, you need to read my posts on the studies done BY the NIH.

How?
That I prove it wrong?
Poor rich kid... doesn't know the difference in caring for something and debunking that something.
If you wanna play the semantics game...
"LOL... rich boy thinks his opinion matters, at all."
Proving something false does not necessarily mean that it has to matter to me. The significance of a statement or belief often
depends on its relevance to my life, values, or interests. Most of what YOU say, does not... mainly, because it's usually out of
left-field and off-topic.
If you stayed on topic, I might think what you say matters...
... a little.
LOL... Onest I prove you wrong, it's gone... outta mah haid.
Only when you can't stand being wrong, does it seem to matter any more.... TO YOU! This is why you usually drop the topic
entirely and pick out bullshit minutiae to argue, because what REALLY matters, is your ego.
If I find that a particular claim by you, OR ANYONE ELSE, that is false, I may choose to disregard it, especially if it does not
impact my beliefs or decisions.
The act of proving something false can still hold SOME value in terms of critical thinking, understanding, and knowledge, even if
it doesn't personally matter to me.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
