gearbox Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Great article in Sydney Morning Herald about the virus origin: https://www.smh.com.au/national/are-we-ignoring-the-hard-truths-about-the-most-likely-cause-of-covid-19-20210601-p57x4r.html Seems that most of the Australian experts in this area are overwhelmingly rejecting the lab leak theory. Looks like just another stage of the anti-China propaganda. Next week they'll drop this subject and start something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

school12 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 With the Freedom of Information act for getting all of Fauci's emails, there's a lot of interesting things going on behind the scenes. Here's the link to all of his emails https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20793561-leopold-nih-foia-anthony-fauci-emails On page 2286, The subject line is "Coronavirus bioweapon production method". I wonder what that is supposed to mean since supposedly this is a naturally occuring virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what that is supposed to mean since supposedly this is a naturally occuring virus. Fact check: No, email to Fauci doesn't contain origin of a 'coronavirus bioweapon' The claim that an email to Fauci contained the origins of the coronavirus is FALSE, based on our research. The text of the email is lifted from a research paper published in 2005, more than a decade before the emergence of COVID-19. Two of the paper’s co-authors said the virus particles used in their experiment did not contain genetic material from a coronavirus, so the process described isn't what Gaertner claims it to be. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/06/03/fact-check-email-fauci-doesnt-contain-origin-coronavirus/7511931002/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want people to transition to a new model of society you should make your case and let us vote on whether we want to join you. Very few people will want to give up their privacy, freedom, social life in exchange for allegedly keeping very old and sick people alive for a few more days. Depression and economic fallout is going to kill millions of people. It has already blighted the future of most young people New society promoters have a lot to answer for. Just a "few more days". huh? What is happening to life expectancy in England? The Covid-19 pandemic caused 72,000 excess deaths in England in 2020 compared with the 2015–19 average, resulting in the largest annual fall in life expectancy since World War II: a fall of 1.2 years in males and 0.9 years in females https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/publications/whats-happening-life-expectancy-england#:~:text=The Covid-19 pandemic caused 72%2C000 excess deaths in England,and 0.9 years in females.

China has returned to normal life. Do you think they secretly developed a super jab, or did they initially panic and then realise the way to deal with Covid is to ignore it, rather than change your whole society? So, someone arbitrarily decided to collect samples of 2019 Spanish poop, analyzed it, discovered a deadly virus, and decided to keep their findings a secret - until the pandemic struck? Perhaps they examined masculine bovine manure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmarshall Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The one thing that is completely clear about SARS-Cov2 is that whether it came from human contact with wild animals or leaked out of a lab doesn't matter in the least. The countries that were carefully surveilling emergent pathogens in China including S. Korea, Taiwan, Viet Nam, and others were able to suppress the virus by their early (beginning in 2019 in some cases) and vigorous response to the new threat. If the criminally incompetent governments of the US, the UK, Brazil, and most of the countries of Europe had also been monitoring China for new viruses, they would have been able to control the outbreak as well. The US actually had an office of the CDC in Beijing with forty-seven employees including epidemiologists whose responsibilities included monitoring for a new epidemic, but the Trump administration shut it down in 2017 along with offices of other agencies like USAID that also had roles to play in warning about a new outbreak. Any surveillance program would have been looking at all possible sources of a new outbreak including lab accidents. But the Trump administration decided instead to do as little as possible at every stage leading to the deaths of 600,000 (really 900,000) Americans for which the US government is entirely to blame no matter where the virus came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well reasoned argument with which I fully agree. China can rightly be criticized for its handling of the initial stages, but if they informed the world on 30th December 2019 that there was a new strain of SARS which could have person to person transmission, would it have made a difference? In theory it should, but the way the developed world did respond later (God forbid we should miss our holidays) I think we would still have the disaster we are now in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
