Leaving an inheritance to my Thai GIRLFRIEND.
What a great idea! The only potential drawback is the possible expiration date limiting validity of a cashier's check. Here is Grok's answer: -

UK Hate Crime Probe Launched After Migrant Effigy Torched on Northern Ireland Bonfire
Do you really believe that this was a legitimate concern expressed by "common people? The people who participated are the same people who have been engaging in hateful violence for the past 75+ years: Ignorant layabouts who have been blaming anyone and everyone other than themselves for their current position. They are generations of benefits collectors, who have spent their lives grifting, thieving, drinking, philandering and sucking the life out of society. These are the same people who would vandalize, loot and run amuck in the streets, all the while marrying within their close inbred community. Their mirror image are their fenian relations who live on the other side of their imagined border. Two groups of violent people who have yet to progress from their primitive savagery. They don't care about migrants. it is just an excuse to be violent and run wild. -

Report Deadly Disease Alert: Melioidosis Claims 72 Lives in Thailand
Wow, taking advantage of the poor. Doesn't jibe with the usual virtue signaling 🙂 -

Donald won't like This,
Ah diddums. Lawfaring wokies getting their just deserts is triggering? Did we not warn that making up BS like Russia x3 to wage lawfare on Trump was a dreadful idea and would backfire spectacularly? Er......yes we most certainly did. You made your bed. Now lie in it🤣 -

Will there ever be a safe vaccine?
Your repetition is exhausting... I'll give you the respect of a solid reply once... Virus Isolation & Identification is a Proven Lab Technique Classic cell culture methods: Scientists routinely collect patient samples (like nasal swabs or lung fluid), inoculate them into cell cultures, and observe virus replication - known as “virus isolation” https://beyondterrain.com/existence-of-a-virus Varicella‑zoster virus, responsible for chickenpox, has been isolated in serial passage in cell lines -confirmed via plaque assays, PCR, immunofluorescence, and antigen testing . Rotavirus, a major cause of infant diarrhea, was first shown to be a filterable agent in stool and later visualised directly with EM and grown in cell culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotavirus Astrovirus, responsible for gastrointestinal illness, was isolated circa 1975 via EM, cultured in cells by 1981, and further characterised using PCR and immunoassays https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrovirus Rhino‑, corona‑, entero‑, toroviruses, etc., have undergone similar processes: visualisation, culture, genome sequencing, and pathogenic testing. https://fullfact.org/health/germ-theory-terrain-theory-covid-real These aren’t fringe findings - they form the foundation of virology. Pathogenicity Confirmed Through Disease Causation Following Koch’s postulates modified for viruses (e.g., Rivers’ criteria), scientists have shown that purified viral isolates cause disease when introduced to animal models or human volunteers under controlled conditions. The 1960s UK Common Cold Unit, for example, isolated multiple cold-causing viruses (“B814”, 229E, others), cultured them, and when inoculated into volunteers, reproduced cold symptoms - demonstrating causation https://fullfact.org/health/germ-theory-terrain-theory-covid-real/ Molecular & Immunological Evidence PCR, next-generation sequencing, and digital droplet PCR now detect and quantify viral genomes in patient samples with very high specificity and sensitivity https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/spectrum.04848-22 Immunoassays (e.g., antigen tests, neutralising antibodies) confirm infection through the body’s immune response and pathogen presence . Direct electron microscopy captures intact viral particles from clinical specimens, visualised and biochemically characterised. Genomic Sequencing & Evolutionary Tracking Full-length viral genome sequencing gives evolutionary lineages, letting us trace how viruses like SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV‑2 emerged, adapted, and spilled over from animals to humans . Hundreds of thousands of SARS-CoV‑2 isolates have been cultured, sequenced, and phenotyped—allowing researchers to track variants like Alpha, Delta, Omicron, and assess how mutations influence infectivity or vaccine response . Multiple Independent Confirmations Public health agencies worldwide (CDC, WHO, OIE, UKHSA) confirm viruses as isolated, genome-sequenced, cultured, imaged, and shown to cause disease. Independent reviews - like FullFact—debunk terrain-only theories, affirming: “viruses do exist… coronavirus that causes Covid‑19 has been isolated many times and sequenced extensively” https://fullfact.org/health/germ-theory-terrain-theory-covid-real Flaws in the "Terrain Theory" Critique Authors like Dr Roytas argue early inoculation studies were flawed or non‑double‑blind - true, but they ignore the overwhelming, replicated evidence using purified, quantified viral preparations, not random nasal rinses https://www.westonaprice.org/book-reviews/can-you-catch-a-cold-by-daniel-roytas Assertions of circular reasoning in virology - the idea that “no pure virus = no proof” https://beyondterrain.com/existence-of-a-virus ignorez techniques like gradient centrifugation, plaque purification, PCR, EM, and animal models all independently verifying viral presence and infection. Representative Peer‑Reviewed Studies Isolation of pathogenic coronavirus in Arabian oryx: pure viral isolates identified and characterised via molecular and culture methods. https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/spectrum.04848-22 Nature review on SARS/MERS origins: genetic sequencing of viruses from bats, civets, camels demonstrates spillover pathways . Conclusion The argument that “there’s no proof viruses exist or are contagious” ignores: - Decades of laboratory virology using isolation, visualization, culturing, and infection formation. - Repeated genomic sequencing showing virus mutation and spread. - Immunological proof (antibodies, antigens) of viral infections. - Disease causation in controlled human and animal models. These methods are independent, validated, and cross-verified. The scientific consensus is rock-solid: viruses exist, are isolated, and are pathogenic. Terrain-only theories contradict an enormous body of experimental data.

Donald won't like This,
It seems the most vocal anti trumpers on AN are, infact not even American, how f'ing sad does that make all of you sound. Sad old men, is this how you spend your twilight days, arguing about Trump?. Sad
