Got the first Moderna shot today. No reactions, so far. Just burnt skin from being in the sun for more than 10 minutes, which has become normal because of other reasons.
Family update: My dad, brother, and sister fully recovered. Sister did have to go to Little Rock for about 3 weeks due to complications covid caused, but is doing well now.
The China virus is making a comeback, despite the numbers of vaccinations already, and the soon-to-be availability of even more shots. The past month, just completed, was the worst in new cases in 3 months.
Whew! good thing we have "adults" in charge, eh! :icon_roll:
It's been 4 weeks past vaccine shot #2. At what point can I shove out my card and say: "I got mine. How about you?"
Non vaxxers should be the only ones required to wear masks.
Former CDC director Redfield offers his opinion/theory that the China virus did indeed originate in the Wuhan lab. That is not to say it is "man-made" which has never been the point. Rather, it's likely Chicom researchers had isolated and identified a strain of coronavirus and were "messing with it." Were they trying to weaponize it? Yeah, probably, but that is not the point either. Not as it pertains to the worldwide pandemic. They were growing it, nurturing it, and it escaped the lab, via a staffer...some say it was a cleaning lady, a member of the janitorial staff who contracted it while engaged in her routine duties. We know the woman researcher who went to Wuhan after leaving UNC was well-known for being reckless with dangerous biological substances.
Patient Zero is said to be a woman, matching the description of a janitorial staffer at the lab, who died November 17, 2019 of the virus. Now evidence points to this virus being "active" in the lab dating back to September, 2019. It was contained...until it wasn't.
Good article.
Why the media, scientific community and WHO won't investigate COVID origins.
China's recklessness and dishonesty led to the pandemic, but Americans will pay the price.
A remarkable twist in a tragedy, still ongoing, with effects that have transformed this country forever: just days before authorities reported the first cases of the coronavirus in Wuhan, a top inspector at the World Health Organization sat for an interview that was broadcast on YouTube.
The inspector was a man called Peter Daszak. He spoke about his research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which had been going on for more than 15 years. In the interview, Daszak also discussed his nonprofit organization, which had received millions from the U.S. government. Daszak channeled a substantial percentage of that money to the lab in Wuhan, which he described as, "world-class lab of the highest standards." Some of that work, paid for by American taxpayers, went to something called "gain-of-function research." It involved manipulating viruses in a laboratory to make them more transmissible and more deadly. In his YouTube interview, Peter Daszak spoke freely about all of this. At the time, he had no reason not to. Outside of a handful of diplomats, no one had raised concerns about the kind of research into bat viruses, very dangerous research it turns out, that was taking place in Wuhan. According to Peter Daszak, his research, and the grant money that supported it, was necessary to create a vaccine to prevent the next global pandemic. Daszak even explained how easy it is to manipulate a coronavirus.
DASZAK: Coronavirus is a pretty good…You can manipulate them in the lab pretty easily. It’s spike protein. Spike protein drives a lot of what happens with the coronavirus, zoonotic risk. So you can get the sequence, build the protein. And we worked with Ralph Barrack at UNC to do this. Insert into a backbone of another virus and then do some work in the lab.
"You can manipulate them pretty easily" in a lab. That recorded on December 9, 2019. It wasn’t long before Peter Daszak stopping giving interviews about his lab experiments. People were starting to ask uncomfortable questions. Wasn’t there an advanced virology lab with a history of sloppy containment protocols, very close to where the first out outbreak occurred? Well yes there was. But Peter Daszak didn’t want to talk to about that. So he and other bureaucrats at the World Health Organization came up with an alternative explanation for the pandemic.
TUCKER CARLSON: HOW THE PANDEMIC HAS MADE FOOLS OF THE SO-CALLED 'EXPERTS'
The virus, they told the world, had most likely emerged from an exotic mammal that form some reason was being sold in a seafood market in Wuhan. That’s what happened. The media bought that explanation. Later we discovered that was not true. There was never any evidence that COVID infections originated in a pangolin eaten for food.
The locals in Wuhan laughed at that idea. Peter Daszak didn’t apologize. He just kept deflecting attention from the lab.
In April, he told the show DemocracyNow that, "The idea that this virus escaped from a lab is just pure baloney. It’s simply not true. I’ve been working with that lab for 15 years. They’re some of the best scientists in the world."
Daszak has pushed that line ever since. Relentlessly.
Last summer, he wrote an op-ed in The Guardian entitled, "Ignore the conspiracy theories: scientists know Covid-19 wasn't created in a lab." Then made the point on Twitter repeatedly.
Strange!
