  1. Actually, talking about lab-leaked is obscuring the real issue, which is natural evolution.ution vs created by researchers. - natural evolution, whether from the Wuhan market or leaked from the samples collected by the lab. It seems to be currently the dominant scientific explanation. - created by researchers in a lab (then leaked). This is currently not the dominant scientific explanation.
  2. The topic is the WHO and I keep focused on it. Sorry if I don't follow you on every digression you are addressing. And sorry if I stick to facts. I can understand it's may be kind of boring g for you. You keep making baseless claims about the WHO, and when proven wrong you start splitting hairs. Like you just did. When you make claims on this forum, it's your duty to back up these claims, and not me to waste my time disproving each and every of your claims. I have provided the list of experts, and they appear to be quite qualified and experienced. If you want to challenge their qualification, prove it. It's not my job to disprove any baseless speculation you may come up with.
  3. Thanks for this usefull timeline. Two remarks: - It provides insights on politicians' statements or institutional positions, but actually few scientific substance (ok, that was not the aim), - a reminder that the lab-leaked theory is not restricted to the artificially created virus option. Quote from the article "The theory’s adherents usually believe the coronavirus either evolved in nature and was being studied at a lab in Wuhan before it accidentally leaked out, or was artificially created by researchers before it escaped—though the latter theory has been heavily contested by many experts.
  4. Have you looked at the lists? Here are the first two names on the first list. Dr Didier Houssin President AP-HP International, Subsidiary of Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris France Members Dr Martin Cetron Director, Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention UNITED STATES OF AMERICA If it's not enough for you, I guess you are able to use Google and find more details, such as below: Dr. Didier Houssin President of the French Evaluation Agency for Research and Higher Education (AERES), since May 2011. Former Director General for Health, France Ministry of Health (2005-2011). A Surgery Professor at Paris's Descartes University since 1988, Professor Housin returned recently to the Research and higher education Fields after many years in the Public Health sector. A liver surgery and transplant Specialist, including for children, he served as Executive Director of the Établissement Français des Greffes (the French transplant agency) from 1994 to 2003, as surgery Head at Paris's Cochin hospital, from 1998 to 2003, as the Paris Hospitals' medical policy Director, from 2003 to 2005, and as Health Director General at the French Ministry of Health in March 2005, a position he kept until May 2011. During this last period, he was also the interministerial delegate for Pandemic Influenza in France. Professor Houssin has a wide ranging experience in the research and higher education: researcher fields at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (1982-1988), as university surgeon leading a surgical research laboratory (1985-1996), and director of the French national doctoral training in surgical sciences (1991-1995). He authored several original scientific publications on liver transplants and surgery, transplant immunology, and gene therapy, as well as two books: a document on Organ transplantation and an essay on the phenomenon of Emergenc
  5. My comment on Ivermectin was about Covid-19. I did not comment about ither use. Every time I replied to you, you have been proven wrong. More coming later.
  6. Long story... https://www.printables.com/model/480941-horten-ho-229-ww2-era-german-flying-wing-fighter-j
  7. Too long to reply to all your comments at the same time, so let's start with the most simple one. You are again showing your ignorance of the WHO despite making definitive judgments about it. You just need to look at its website. https://www.who.int/groups/covid-19-ihr-emergency-committee https://www.who.int/groups/covid-19-infection-prevention-and-control-guidance-development-group https://www.who.int/about/governance/executive-board (the positions are rotated at the board, so it may not be the same persons as in 2020/21).
  8. Not much, it seems.... "Five years ago, China expressed hopes for increased collaboration with the Nordic states in the Arctic. Chinese investments in Nordic mineral resources are still minimal, however, and none of the ambitious infrastructure projects discussed have come to fruition. The backlash against China in recent years has undoubtedly hindered its investment prospects in the region." https://kinacentrum.se/en/publications/the-recent-backlash-against-china-in-the-nordic-arctic-prospects-for-future-chinese-engagement-in-the-region/ China failed its Arctic ambitions in Greenland It appears both the West and Beijing itself have grossly overestimated Chinese expansion in Greenland. https://www.politico.eu/article/china-arctic-greenland-united-states/
  9. Complete B.S., as usual! 😆 United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES‑11/1 is a resolution of the eleventh emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly, adopted on 2 March 2022. It deplored Russia's invasion of Ukraine and demanded a full withdrawal of Russian forces and a reversal of its decision to recognise the self-declared People's Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. UN General Assembly The tenth paragraph of the United Nations General Assembly Resolution of 2 March 2022 confirmed the involvement of Belarus in unlawful use of force against Ukraine.[1] The resolution was sponsored by 96 countries, and passed with 141 voting in favour, 5 against, and 35 abstentions
  10. I don't believe in simplistic imaginary explanations. Israel and Hamas have antagonistic position and the negotiation process is complex. The U.S. or other countries can influence it but only to some extent, as the recent halt of negotiations confirmed. And it's a process.
  11. Of course, in MAGAs' imagination, in case they are released it will be thanks to Trump, but if they aren't it will be Biden's fault! 😆
  12. That's how Hamas has been funded for years: "In 2018, Qatar began making monthly payments to the Gaza Strip. Some $15 million were sent into Gaza in cash-filled suitcases – delivered by the Qataris through Israeli territory after months of negotiation with Israel. The payments started after the Palestinian Authority (PA), the Palestinian government in the Israeli occupied West Bank that is a rival of Hamas, decided to cut salaries of government employees in Gaza in 2017, an Israeli government source with knowledge of the matter told CNN at the time. What did Israel know about Hamas’ October 7 attack? The PA opposed the Qatari funding at the time, which Hamas said was meant for the payment of public salaries as well as medical purposes. Israel approved the deal in a security cabinet meeting in August 2018, when Netanyahu was serving his previous tenure as premier." https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/11/middleeast/qatar-hamas-funds-israel-backing-intl/index.html As I know you may be tempted to reply with your usual MSM conspiracy B.S., here's another source providing the same information. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
  13. In any case, it makes sense as the next administration may need to go on negotiating (in case this round fails), or will supervise the implementation if they achieve a deal is reached before the inauguration.
  14. Apparently, it may break down again. https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20241225-israel-hamas-trade-blame-ceasefire-impasse-qatar As the negotiation process, it appears that both outgoing and incoming admistrations are collaborating on this issue, as they have the same objective. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/14/biden-asked-trump-hostage-deal-middle-east/ https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/10/politics/gaza-israel-hamas-ceasefire-biden-trump-backing/index.html
  15. Horse dewormer, hydrochloroquine, vaccines are not safe, etc... Are you serious? Your claims are not supported by the scientific community. You are just parroting the propaganda fed to you. Exoerts used by WHO are usually provided by their resprctive natioal health organisations. That includes countries such as the U.S., Germany Japan. etc... The experts you indirectly mentioned have been discredited in their own country.
  16. Already in July. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/talks-free-israeli-hostages-start-16-day-period-after-first-phase-hamas-source-2024-07-06/
  17. What are those mysterious diplomatic sources?
  18. To start with, no hostage has been released yet. There are ongoing negotiations involving Hamas, the Israeli government and the U.S. government. Trump is not at all part of these negotiations. Hopefully, it will succeed!
  19. So you have nothing. That's what I thought.
  20. So when did Ovama claim that the 2016 elections have been rigged and refuse to admit that Trump won?
  21. When did Biden claim that the 2016 elections have been rigged and refuse to admit that Trump won?
  22. It's still just a MAGA fairy tale that Trump caused the release of hostages....
  23. He didn't knew it wouldn't be approved. The bill with removing the debt limit (the second one), as required by Trump, was submitted and rejected. I see you also got fooled by Musk tweets claiming that the salary increase was 40%. Musk was shamelessly lying, as expected, and you believed him. 😆 https://www.factcheck.org/2024/12/congress-not-proposing-to-give-themselves-40-raise/ And here's one good reason for Musk to reject the first bill: The spending agreement released Tuesday included a bipartisan provision to limit and screen U.S. investments in China, among dozens of other proposals attached to the 1,500-page bill. As the CEO and largest stockholder in Tesla, Musk has extensive business connections to China. The company operates a major manufacturing plant in Shanghai and has sought to build deeper connections with Chinese companies. https://thehill.com/business/5051709-musk-delauro-spending-bill-china/
  24. You are making stuff up. The warning you pointed out was about faksified vaccines as clearly expressed. AstraZeneca was the second vaccine approved by WHO in February 2021. It was lso included in the COVAX initiative. WHO is by definition a forum in which what you claimed was not discussed was actually discussed. The functioning of the WHO was certainly not perfect, but it didn't happen as you claimed it did.
