It’s not odd if the government was panicking over one of its developmental bioweapons showing signs of having escaped into the wild. In fact, in that context, it seems perfectly reasonable.

I wonder how many of them are kicking themselves because it was released unfinished. All delivery platform, almost no payload.

That’s why they released The D into a population in India, after they tweaked things following the beta test. . It’s moar better.

Months ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Wuhan National Biosafety Lab requested bids for major renovations to air safety and waste treatment systems in research facilities that had been operational for less than 2 years, according to a new congressional report on the pandemic’s origins, obtained by Fox News.

"Such a significant renovation so soon after the facility began operation appears unusual," said the report from the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Republican staff. The projects for air disinfection, hazardous waste and central air conditioning systems "all raise questions about how well these systems were functioning in the months prior to the outbreak of COVID-19."

Maintenance on a 2 year old facility seems a bit odd.

Shocked! Shocked, I say! fucking Chi-Comms.

Dr. Jennifer Lighter, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at NYU Langone Health, said the delta variant, while it is "certainly more contagious," doesn't appear to be more dangerous to children than other variants. As of Thursday, more than 4 million children had been diagnosed with Covid-19, about 14.2 percent of all cases, according to the AAP. Versalovic also said, "We have no firm evidence that the disease severity in children and adolescents is any different with the delta variant."

People at considerable risk of developing severe Covid-19, including millions of Americans with compromised immune systems, now have the option of receiving a preventive monoclonal antibody treatment if they have been or are at risk of being exposed to the coronavirus.

The Food and Drug Administration’s action on Friday brings hope to the estimated 3 percent of Americans who are immunocompromised, including those with autoimmune diseases, HIV patients, cancer patients and organ transplant recipients, who may still be vulnerable to Covid even after being fully vaccinated.

South Korea has confirmed the arrival in the country of the new Delta Plus COVID-19 variant, which some experts believe may be more dangerous than the original Delta strain driving surges across the globe.

That’s a pretty good summary of the past year and a half. I have no problem understanding why people wouldn’t want to go get a shot just because CNN/The White House tells them to. I have no problem understanding that this is exactly *why* some would be thinking hard about whether to get the shot.

And now you’ve got prominent democrats openly hoping that people can still die of COVID after getting vaccinated. Why on earth would anybody put stock into what these people say?

The media is out of control. The deep-seated political ties basically make it all state-run broadcasts.
