    Well that’s true. It might be an amazing coincidence. You can’t be certain without further testing.

    They need to do a double-blind study to be sure.

    Logically, a new king is just about to be crowned. Though it will be better if a new logical king is the one.

    What made him think the food isn’t poisoned? Maybe the arrow that just missed him and hit the food taster instead?

    But it does mean that you have your cook executed nonetheless. Horrible cooking is a crime.

    After all, correlation does not imply causation.

    At that point, I’d let him eat.

    The food would get cold if you have to wait for the autopsy’s results. And heads of state are immune against this kind of things, poison, viruses…

    The “poisoning” is only a theory.

    What poisoning? That’s just a hoax, fake news.

    I’m a science major; trust me, science is highly overrated. So much stuff is called “science”. It’s usually company A that has created their own research company B. Company B does research that cherry picks data that proves that Company A’s products work. The pharmaceutical industry is fraught with this kind of thing.

    If he hadn’t test the food, it wouldn’t have been poisoned, right?

    Great timing; if “he” is elected “he will be listening to the scientists” can you believe that guy?

    when the autopsy was finished it was discovered that the taster did not die of food poisoning but of a stroke brought on by the high cholesterol diet of the king, who had no problems with cholesterol, but the food taster did. so much for the sciency thing that everyone thinks is the ‘god’ of all until the facts are announced, changed, announced again, changed again, refuted, debunked, changed again, then revised, found to be a lie, changed once again, and then broadcast as the ‘only truth’ for ALL mankind because that’s what they are PAID a significant amount to say. js

    Then why did you hire a taster? Just to make sure it wouldn’t taste bad?

    (From Abdul Malik in Sindbad the Sailor): I was always a disappointment, to others as well as myself. When I was chief taster to the Khan of Buhara, he expired from a cup, that had only made me…(chuckle)… riotously giddy!

    After seeing the 60 Minutes interview with Alexei Navalny, I was wondering if trump saw it. If I were Joe BIden, I’d hire a food taster.

    The humor here is the irony of comments from people who deny the risks of COVID-19. They support the point that Coverly is making.
