The World’s Most Loathed Industry Gave Us a Vaccine in Record Time

Gee... I thought it was the politicians that gave us a vaccine... but whatever ... /end_sarcasm

Why can't they make their claims consistent? If the plague started in the United States as the Chinese government has claimed, why are they looking for the source in China?

 

...why are they looking for the source in China?

Because they lie?

Edit: notice in the article, it only took the AP 10 words to say so:

Deep in the lush mountain valleys of southern China lies the entrance to a mine shaft that once harbored bats with the closest known relative of the COVID-19 virus.

Damning evidence.

 

I propose that as soon as the Covid virus is eradicated, scientists start working on a vaccine against the Pinocchio virus... long noses are a health hazard.

 

Slowly new bits and pieces get added that make some sense out of things. Then they either clamp a lid on it or make some outrageously improbable claim that makes no sense at all and is obviously an attempt to avert attention away from them. One thing to "Save Face" and another to compound it by obviously lying about it. They also have not completely dismissed the remote possibility that it was accidentally released from the chinese research lab in Wuhan.

 

I find it amazing how "well" china has coped with the virus !!
no deaths since May 2020..

Amazing !!!

 

Good news everybody - we're rounding the corner. Again.

The magic of ______ism.

It seems I can no longer post such words without my posts getting deleted. I suspect I'll be volunteering for gulag, soon.

 

Just when I figure things have gotten as senseless as they can along comes...

My grandson, well one of them anyway, wrestles varsity in high school. Well they finally allowed the kids to start wrestling but now neither before or after a match can the opponents shake hands. So now we have two kids in about as much full body contact as imaginable wrestling on a mat but neither before or after a match can they shake hands? Yes, because eliminating the hand shake will reduce the possibility of transmitting COVID. My grandson did test positive for COVID earlier in the year, he did just fine but before wrestling they had him see a cardiologist to make sure his heart was not damaged. All athletes need a cardiac evaluation I guess.

I'm sure the underage party-goers were wearing masks and distancing with the required PPE for parties that prevented them from catching COVID while getting shot.

At 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 31, 2020, deputies were dispatched to a report of a shooting with injuries at 9221 SE Idleman Rd., a vacation-rental property in unincorporated Clackamas County.

Deputies were able to get the 20-30 partygoers out of the house. Upon entry, they found one victim with a gunshot wound to his chest who was being attended to by partygoers.

The deputies quickly stepped in and began life-saving measures. Deputies assessed the victim and applied a chest seal to his wound. Deputies declared the scene safe so medical personnel could enter and transport the patient.

The male with the gunshot wound was transported by ambulance to an area hospital by American Medical Response. He is expected to survive.

Deputies then received information that additional shooting victims had already left the scene to seek medical treatment on their own. Deputies and Portland Police Bureau officers were able to make contact with three additional shooting victims at area hospitals.

In total, three males and one female between the ages of 17 and 20 had been shot. All are expected to survive their injuries.

 

Then they either clamp a lid on it or make some outrageously improbable claim that makes no sense at all and is obviously an attempt to avert attention away from them. One thing to "Save Face" and another to compound it by obviously lying about it.

You seem outraged about China making some outrageously improbable claim that makes no sense then attempting to avert attention to something else? And claim, 'One thing to "Save Face" and another to compound it by obviously lying about it.'

My friend, worry about the exact same tactics (different topics but same tactics) in our country before saying it is bad when China does it.

“We were leaden-footed for weeks, to the point where each step meant a determined effort,” Miss Goring recalled. “It also was very difficult to remember any simple thing, even for five minutes.”

Miss Goring was describing the period of her convalescence after the 1918 flu pandemic, which she lived through in her native South Africa. Her memories form part of a collection published by South African historian Howard Phillips on the centenary of that disaster. It’s not the only one. Another collection published around the same time by New Zealand historian Geoffrey Rice is also littered with references to long-term symptoms of that flu—from “loss of muscular energy” to “nervous complications.” Some convalescents, recalled a Dr. Jamieson who worked at a hospital in Nelson, on New Zealand’s South Island, “passed through a period of apathy and depression,” or experienced tremor, restlessness, or sleeplessness.

What’s striking about reading these accounts ten months into a new pandemic, is the historical echo they provide of “Long Covid”—that mysterious affliction, or afflictions, that dogs some patients who were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus long after any initial symptoms have subsided, and apparently long after the virus has left their body. “Day 163 post Covid,” tweeted one Long Covid sufferer on Sept. 16. “I managed to walk for 20 mins without chest pain while keeping my heart rate below 120.”

This is not striking... One summer when I was 12 i somehow got a flu out of nowhere. It lasted 3 days and brought me down hard. I had to hold on to my cousin's stroller to be able to walk 15 minutes from the house to the beach at which point I would have to sit for a very long time. Prior to flu I would spend all day swimming. This happened sometime in June and it took me the rest of summer to recover.

What is striking is that after years of research we dont really know very much to explain these symptoms or the inner workings of our immune system.

 

While my son feels fine following his being positive he is slowly getting back his sense of taste and smell. Been about 6 weeks since he was diagnosed. His experience wasn't bad. He and his wife were just tired. what was strange was their 5 year old son never had any symptoms and tested negative. Go figure?

Not strange. Par for the course.

Kids are -- for the most part -- wholly unaffected and should be in school.

It is quite strange - although kids are commonly show no symptoms, they usually test positive with the rest of the adults. Their lack of symptoms makes many believe they don't have Covid so they act as superspreaders from home-to-school and school-to-home. Notice the huge peak of new cases start in mid-August/early September.
Think twice about blaming the surge of cases on other things. It's not the cooler weather - we had unbelievablely warm weather in September snd October this year, most states reopened well before that surge, we were eating dinner outdoors comfortably until the last week of October in western Pennsylvania.
Again, your grandson was either lucky or had a false negative test result.
