Lab Just Made a More Dangerous COVID Virus​

STORY AT-A-GLANCE​

  • Scientists are already cooking up more virulent and lethal versions of SARS-CoV-2
  • By serial passaging live SARS-CoV-2 in plasma obtained from a recovered COVID-19 patient that had high amounts of neutralizing antibodies in it, the virus ended up mutating to evade the antibodies
  • The SARS-CoV-2 variant they created bypasses acquired immunity or negates the immunity you normally would have after recovering from the infection. As such, it could be extremely lethal
  • Since the virus can mutate to evade neutralizing antibodies, it could potentially mutate under the “selective pressure” of vaccination as well
  • Two prominent figures during the COVID-19 pandemic have been Dr. Anthony Fauci and Peter Daszak, both of whom have much to gain by misleading the public and the world about SARS-CoV-2’s origin, as they may both have been involved in its creation
If SARS-CoV-2 has frazzled your nerves, I have bad news for you. Scientists are already cooking up more virulent and lethal versions. In a January 22, 2021, Twitter post, biotech entrepreneur Yuri Deigin highlighted a study posted on the preprint server bioRxiv at the end of December 2020, saying:1
“Ok, the prize for the craziest and most dangerous gain-of-function research goes out to Italian virologists who took SARS[-CoV-]2 and passaged it in vitro in the presence of neutralizing antibodies.2 It quickly obliged and mutated to escape them. Yay for a novel, more dangerous SARS3!”
“Passaging” refers to a genetic engineering technique where a virus is grown in a series of different animal tissue cultures. With each “pass,” the virus will mutate slightly, gaining different functions.

Well if anyone thinks a cloth mask will stop a virus they need a shot (of vodka) in the head to straighten them out
;)
seriously.

It's like teaching children sex in a cage with an adult is the in thing.

Here is a doozie. Yesterday some local businesses are mandating no cloth masks insisting customers use the blue nonmedical "surgical masks".

You cant make this shit up.

Diagnosing COVID-19 infection: the danger of over-reliance on positive test results​

Abstract​

Contrary to the practice during previous epidemics, with COVID-19 health authorities have treated a single positive result from a PCR-based test as confirmation of infection, irrespective of signs, symptoms and exposure.

This is based on a widespread belief that positive results in these tests are highly reliable. However, evidence from external quality assessments and real-world data indicate enough a high enough false positive rate to make positive results highly unreliable over a broad range of scenarios.

This has clinical and case management implications, and affects an array of epidemiological statistics, including the asymptomatic ratio, prevalence, and hospitalization and death rates, as well as epidemiologic models.

Steps should be taken to raise awareness of false positives and reduce their frequency. The most important immediate action is to check positive results with additional tests, at least when prevalence is low.

I am just a SMeffinH. Seriously.

During Pandemic, China Sent Millions of Counterfeit Masks, Test Kits to US: Customs Data​

China accounted for about 51 percent of counterfeit or substandard COVID-19-related products seized by U.S. customs officials from October 2019 to Sept. 30 last year, according to a newly-released report from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Among the products seized by U.S. customs officials were over 12.7 million counterfeit masks, 177,356 COVID-19 test kits prohibited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and 38,098 FDA-prohibited chloroquine tablets.

The effectiveness of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine and its closely-related chloroquine in treating symptoms of COVID-19, which is caused by the CCP virus (commonly known as the novel coronavirus), is of much debate.

The FDA initially issued an emergency use authorization for the two drugs, but later revoked the authorization in June last year, saying that they were “unlikely to be effective in treating COVID-19.”

However, there have been studies showing their effectiveness: one study showed hydroxychloroquine lowered the death rate of COVID-19 patients, while another study demonstrated a drug cocktail containing hydroxychloroquine could lower the hospitalization and death rate of patients infected by the virus.

The FDA currently has a database listing fraudulent COVID-19 products, including test kits. The list contains company names and the names of their products.

In December last year, customs officials in Cincinnati seized 10,080 counterfeit surgical masks, which were labeled “3M Mask Model 1860,” in a shipment originating from China, according to a press release. The boxes containing the masks were fraudulently labeled as “Made in the USA.”

If genuine, these fake 3M masks would have an estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $65,520.

Sure you can, they've been making this shit up since day one. First it was one mask then two, now three masks for ultimate protection. Next they will be mandating polyethylene plastic masks or bags over the head taped snugly around the neck. It's the only way to be 100% sure that you're "protecting others from you."

I got schooled in a local hardware store yesterday by an employee because my mask slipped below my nose while I adjusted my glasses because they were fogged up and couldn't see. One of the biggest things this whole thing has done is empowered pathetic, bitchy, unhappy people who have nothing better to do but worry about other people's business, subconsciously projecting the bitter disappointment they feel from their own dismal failures.

The PALER Horse: 320ft chalk rider carved into Dorset hillside 213 years ago is now barely visible after Covid stops gardeners from removing WEEDS​

1612560378961.png

A historic chalk figure carved into the Dorset Hillside is disappearing because conservationists have been unable to keep up maintenance during the coronavirus pandemic.

The 320ft Osmington White Horse was carved more than 200 years ago in tribute to King George III, who often visited the town of Weymouth nearby.

The figure, which depicts King George III riding his charger Adonis, was cut into the hills in 1808 but today, just a faint outline can be seen.

According to local legend, the King was so offended by the carving, because it shows him riding away from Weymouth rather than towards it, he never returned.

In Ontario , hardware stores are considered non esential curb side shopping only!

COINCIDENCE? COVID Death Rates Plummet in Weeks Following Biden’s Inauguration, Experts Flabbergasted​

Since President Biden’s inauguration, the infection rates in the COVID pandemic have plummeted by between 30 and 40 percent, a statistic that stands opposed to Joe Biden’s prediction of a “dark winter.”

Reports of COVID infections and hospitalizations are on the decline around the world. Cases of the virus are down 30 percent from last in the United States alone.The United States averaged 141,146 cases per day over the past week. This is a 30 percent decline from the average two weeks ago.

The nation’s weekly average has leveled under 150,000 cases per day for the first time since November. John Hopkins University indicated a seven-day rolling average culminating in a near 40% decline.


Youze was warned this would happen.
