Wuhan Coronavirus

[Box]

Bro...

Those COVID vaccines work.
I haven't had COVID one single time since the vaccine came out.
Not once.

Even the J&J one works - of course, it does have its dangers - and percentage wise, it could cause almost as many blood clots as FDA approved birth control pills

of course, they dont work well enough to allow fully vaccinated people to start living without their masks

and they dont work well enough to prevent the drug companies from saying that we "might" need booster shots

but they work
Saint Fauci said so.

They certainly DO work well enough to keep Saint Fauci's stock portfolio fatter than a purple haired vagina hat wearing anti-trumper
...but thats fodder for a different thread

That...made my morning...now for the brain bleach...

All the blood clot cases were in pre-menopausal women.

Apparently, to take the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, you have to have a johnson...

Maybe our infectious disease SME's here can help me understand this...

If the WHO determined that SARS-CoV-2 originated in an animal-human transfer....

Why am I not hearing of other animal-human transfers of SARS-CoV-2?

I understand that the crack-team from the WHO, after being provided their completed report immediately upon arriving in Wuhan is on a scavenger hunt, search for pot-of-gold/pile of excrement to determine where the virus is.

Any insights here?

It was just a one-off crazy bat delicious on a stick but someone ate it and now it’s gone and so is the person who ate it. Right before they sneezed and coughed on a dozen other raw meat eating savages.

Doncha know!

China gave the world this virus, It is a genetically engineered BIO-WEAPON from Dr. Chen Wi's Level IV Lab located in The Naval Engineering Lab in Wuhan, China This was an intentional First Strike, like Pearl Harbor and the 911 bombing. China is at WAR with the world and the world is doing nothing about it, It will be interesting to see if the Russians take this first strike on the chin like the U S A and do nothing to pay back the CCP.

Misogyny!!!

Place yourself in cancellation for at least 15 minutes.

Apparently peer-reviewed study by Stanford, published at NIH (vare haff I hurd zat nem befooor?)

BLUF (emphasis mine)

Conclusion

The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemask can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death. Governments, policy makers and health organizations should utilize prosper and scientific evidence-based approach with respect to wearing facemasks, when the latter is considered as preventive intervention for public health.

Apologize if this is old news to everyone. I imagine that all the news outlets covered it immediately back in November 2020. Didn't they... Bueller?

Appears to have been a wasted year driven by fear to get Orange Man Bad out of the White House.

"Reconciling estimates of global spread and infection fatality rates
of COVID- 19: An overview of systematic evaluations"

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...1111/eci.13554

BLUF - "..All systematic evaluations of seroprevalence data converge that SARS- CoV- 2 infection is widely spread globally. Acknowledging residual uncertainties, the available evidence suggests average global IFR of ~0.15% and ~1.5- 2.0 billion infections by February 2021 with substantial differences in IFR and in infection spread across continents, countries and locations. .."

IFR = infection fatality rate

Hang on, hang on...I'm trying to find my surprised face emoji.

^^^only a statistician would enjoy reading that. Not much medical data can be gleaned from it.

It would appear though (without biases over or under counting IFR) that the general population has a better than 99.5% survival rate even if the infection rate seems much higher. Also that countries with elderly care facilities where old people are concentrated have a higher prevalence of death than countries that do not have such facilities.

Way, way back when this thing first started rolling the first wide spread testing showed it was way more widely spread in the general population than the regular testing was showing. Think it was in a city in CA and an area of NY.

It was said at the time that the "untested" spread was going to drive down the IFR.

It appears that was true - but of course the fake news couldn't push that.

And they still aren't.

Still sucks if you or yours was part of the < .5% but........

[Old Dog New Trick]

Yup, and his royal heinous (highness) Dr. Fauci insists there will be no herd immunity unless >90% of the population is vaccinated. Something rarely seen before with any disease (with few exceptions) where either the natural selection or predisposed conditions exists.

Me thinks the Chinese knew exactly what they were doing and why.

ETA: P.S. what did the CDC and HHS know and when did they know it when they produced the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination record and provided nearly a dozen blank boxes for future shots?

EXACTLY

Moreover, St. Fauci funded gain of function research in Wi's laboratory through NIA ID. but we don't want to talk about that!

Bro - using an estimated global population of 7,794,798,739 and a disease that only 99.5% of the population is going to survive, we can use the basic calculation of X/Y = P x 100 to analyze some possible results.

When Y equals 0.5% of 7794798739 or Y = P% * X we can calculate our global Wuhan Flu death rate like this...
Y = P% * X
Y = 0.5% * 7,794,798,739 (estimated global population)

Lets convert our percentage to a decimal and solve for "Y":
p = 0.5%/100 = 0.005

So, that means:
Y = 0.005 * 7794798739
Y = 38,973,993.695

I'll give you the .695 of a person since that much person is probably just an annoying 8-year old kid that wont stop running through your rose garden but we still have 38,973,993 whole people that might die from this deadly wildly uncontrollable horrific disease.


It doesnt matter that peer reviewed studies are showing increasingly common proof that the long-term consequences of wearing facemasks can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death.
Wearing a mask
...or wearing TWO masks for that matter - signals your virtue - it symbolizes that you care - most importantly it shows that you support the effort without question.

It's earth day for fuck sake - wear a mask and save the planet!!
