Former NSA John Ratcliffe: It Is Nearly a "Certainty" That China Created and (Accidentally) Released the Covid-19 Virus That Killed 4.5 Million People and Shut Down the Planet

Former National Security Advisor John D. Ratcliffe says he has not seen any evidence for a non-lab-based creation of covid-19.

He also says that China should forfeit its right to host the 2022 Olympic Games.


With the summer Olympics kicking off in Japan in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this is a good time to remember that in a matter of just six months, another Olympic Games is scheduled to take place in Beijing, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership coordinated -- and continues to perpetrate -- a massive cover up of the virus's origins and the circumstances surrounding its initial outbreak.

As Director of National Intelligence during much of the pandemic, I know this particularly well.

The 2022 Winter Games should go on. We should not punish hard-working athletes who have dedicated their lives to preparing for this moment. But the world -- and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) -- should not allow Beijing to enjoy the benefits of hosting a massive global event while rejecting transparency and refusing to allow inquiries into, much less answering for, the deaths of millions of people around the world.

Just last week, China rejected the World Health Organization's (WHO) plan to investigate the theory that the virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan. This was remarkable not only because of China's continued belligerence, but also because the WHO was once complicit, caving to the CCP's initial pressure to dismiss the lab leak theory and downplay the CCP's coverup. But now the facts are too hard for even the WHO -- and hopefully the IOC -- to ignore.

I had access to all of the U.S. government's most sensitive intelligence related to the pandemic. My informed opinion is that the lab leak theory isn't just a "possibility," at the very least it is more like a probability, if not very close to a certainty.

More than 18 months after the virus first leaked into the world, I still have not seen a single shred of scientific evidence or intelligence that the virus outbreak was a naturally occurring "spillover" that jumped from an animal to a human.

Yesterday I mentioned that the Republicans had issued a report noting that the Wuhan Institute of Pandemic Manufacture had paid for a renovation of its ventilation system in September 2019, which was right around the time that masses of people were spotted going to hospitals in Wuhan.

Jim Geraghty notes this additional fact: The Wuhan lab solicited the bids for a "Security Services procurement project" on the exact same day the Chinese deleted its database about the viruses it was performing gain-of-function research on.

Four days later, it announced a bid competition to renovate its ventilation system (which was only two years old) for $606 million.

Gee guys what do you think happened that required the Wuhan lab to gut and replace its ventilation system?!! And to delete its database of the virus research it was doing?!

Joe Biden's top covid advisor admits that the cloth masks most people are wearing offer "very little" protection from covid, and also very little protection to other people from the mask-wearer's germs.

Cloth masks do not stop the virus from coming in, nor do they stop the virus from going out.

Fully vaccinated Dr. Guy P. Benson, Ph.D. tests positive for covid:

Lindsey Graham was also fully vaccinated, and he also came down with covid.

And he spent time this past weekend with other politicos.

Let's just hope they're all healthy! I sure wouldn't want the Senate to lack a quorum when they vote on the Human Infrastructure Bill our heroically competent Senate Republicans negotiated for us!!!

People make a big deal about vaccinated people testing positive for covid, as if this disproves the vaccines' effectiveness, but they shouldn't: Even when the vaccines were being tested, researchers announced that Pfizer and Moderna were only 91% and 94% effective (if I remember right) at fully stopping the virus.

What they always followed up with was the claim that the vaccines prevented something like 99% of all serious cases of covid-19.

I would imagine the idea is that the vaccines, having already taught the body how to make antibodies against covid-19, can produce those antibodies far faster -- no learning period required -- when infection comes. White blood cells don't have to go through the process of identifying the intruder virus and learning how to stop its ability to infect cells; they just have to begin producing the antibodies en masse with the coding already in their possession.

Thus, they provide high protection against any infection, and very high protection against serious infections.

But not complete protection.

But they were never claimed to provide that, ever.

So it's not any kind of huge point to make that vaccines which were sold as stopping most, but not all, covid infections turn out to stop most, but not all, covid infections.

That said, given Dr. Guy P. Benson, Ph.D.'s constant Panic Porn about covid, I have to ask him, as he whiningly asked the Trump Administration during a covid briefing around March/April 2020: But what about social distancing?

Dr. Benson was very, very critical of the Trump Administration for not pushing social distancing harder. They did mention it, but not with the breathless, choking fear that Dr. Guy P. Benson, Ph.D., determined was appropriate with his beakers and bunsen burners and Erlenmeyer Flasks.

So I have to ask Dr. Guy P. Benson, Ph.D., the same question: But what about social distancing, Doctor? Surely you were fully masked and maintaining a six-foot Zone of Impregnable Safety around yourself during this time of elevated panic about the Dread Delta Doom.

So how could you have gotten infected?

BUT WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL DISTANCING?!?!

I should allow that the Providence incident is closer to evidence that the vaccines are not offering >90% against any covid infection. I forget the numbers -- what was the claim, that 75% of the people in the super-spreader outbreak were vaccinated?

But most people there were probably vaccinated, and the fact that 75% of the infected in a sample were vaccinated is not the same thing as saying that 75% of the vaccinated were infected. Just like saying "almost all terrorists are Muslims" is not the same as saying "almost all Muslims are terrorists."

Still, it's that kind of evidence that would tend to establish that the vaccines do not work as advertised. You'd want to establish that the vaccines not only don't totally protect against any infection -- no one ever claimed they did -- but that they don't provide the high-but-not-complete protection they were said to provide.

Simply amplifying the fact that this guy here and and that guy there were vaccinated and got the 'rona doesn't prove the vaccines don't work as advertised. Again, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine only claimed 91/94% total protection, and I think the J&J virus was only established to provide something like 75%/80% total protection. You'd want to establish not just that infection happens -- that was always admitted -- but that it happens at a higher rate than originally claimed.

The big selling point was always that they all reduced serious cases to a very small number, less than 1%.

As far as I know, it is now an established fact rather than a prediction or projection that the vaccines do in fact prevent 99% of all serious cases of covid. The numbers of vaccinated people being hospitalized for covid is very low, and the numbers of vaccinated people dying due to covid is even lower.

If people think the risks of vaccines that so far have only been found to be safe and effective by the reduced standards of the Emergency Use Authorization process exceed the risks on not getting them, that's understandable, though I disagree. This depends on how healthy and young you are, of course.

Personally, I think that if you're rapidly approaching age 29, as I am (and as I have been for quite some time now), and if you've got some fun stuff around your belly (as I still have, and always have had), my guess would be the risks of the vaccine itself are much lower than the risks of being unvaccinated against covid-19.

But individual decisions will of course vary.

But the "he's vaccinated, and he got 'rona" game relies on either an unwitting or willful ignorance of the high-but-imperfect level of protection of the vaccines as was always promised.

A couple of good reads on the reason for public skepticism about the vaccines:

In short, the supposed Expert Class has been lying to us not just about things like the effectiveness of masking for a long time, but about things like Russian Collusion for even longer.

This Twitter thread recounts the serial lies of The Regime, and says it's little wonder that people simply do not believe The Regime any longer.

Kurt Schlichter makes the same point in a recent column: Imagine If They Hadn't Lied to Us for 18 Months


Everybody wrap something around your face again even though they said you wouldn't need to if you got vaxxed! But they didn't lie -- no, apparently a bunch of people -- and not just those evil white nationalist-Christian-gun-Jesus-flag people -- are refusing to get the vaccine, and the reason is that they are moral defectives somehow in thrall to Tucker Carlson's Svengali-like powers of persuasion. You see, the people who won't get it are stupid people who hate science because they refuse to trust the people who have spent the last year-and-a-half lying to them.

I don't blame those folks a bit.

Let's try a thought experiment. Let's imagine our ruling class was not as utterly corrupt, dishonest, incompetent and downright stupid as it manifestly is. I know that's hard, but go with me.

This weird new virus appears and starts spreading. Instead of leveraging it to take down Trump, the Democrats appear with the Republican president and GOP leadership to announce they are working together to solve the problem. Imagine that instead of shaming people, first about wearing masks, then about not wearing masks, then about not wearing two masks, then no masks, then masks again, they went with transparency.

"We are not sure how much, if at all, masks work. We're running test trials to see and we'll tell you what we find as soon as we have the data. In the meantime, let's all wear them just in case." And then, when they ran the studies, they would tell us the answer.

Have you seen any studies about masks? We get a lot of that fascist gnome and others telling us to wear masks (after initially telling us they were useless -- remember that memory-holed narrative?) but where's the actual science?

See, you have to believe the science, and believe them when they tell you what it is yet won't show you. Obey!

But trust is earned, and these people act like it is their right to have our trust, that we owe them to take it on faith that whatever these people say is the Gospel. Except they are wrong all the time, and instead of owning up to it, they treat you like some sort of idiot for noticing. When you don't trust people who are perpetually wrong, that's not denying science. That is science---you are making observations, and drawing reasonable conclusions. In this case, the observation is that our establishment sucks, and that it can't be trusted.

How far would a little humility gone? Very far.

I had this thought a couple of weeks ago:

The Panic Karens are now all nattering about how they can finally instruct/bully/coerce everyone into obeying their latest "guidances."

They keep asking, "How do we convince these Stubborn Trumpkins?"

(They don't ask how they can convince the stubborn black and Hispanic vaccine-hesitant, because The Regime has determined only the white working class can be attacked.)

Here's a possible answer:

You can start to convince these stubborn people by admitting all of the errors you made -- and lies you told -- and cover-ups and gaslighting you engaged in to hide your lies -- and thereby start to re-earn public trust.

Now all of The Regime claims it cares only about helping people and keeping them well.

But notice their Noble Concern does not quite go far enough to compel them to admit error and lies.

No, no, no. They'd rather see another million or two die than admit having been wrong and having lied in the past.

So take their claims of being so very Concerned for that they are: Yet another series of Regime lies, casting their unrelenting, hateful, snarling attacks on the white working class and Trump voters generally as something benevolent and holy.

6 Therefore,
PURPOSEFULLY hid the fact of the leak.
PURPOSEFULLY let is spread through the world, Europe in particular, through unrestricted travel out of China.
PURPOSEFULLY withheld knowledge about the characteristics of the virus.

The FACT of a lab leak necessarily, logically implies intentional crimes against humanity and biowar waged by the CCP against the rest of the world.

20 There's nothing unusual about vaccinated people who would test positive. No vaccine literally keeps viruses out of your body. The vaccine just programs your body to fight off the spread once the virus is already inside. Same as any other virus, including polio. If you have the polio vaccine and someone injections the polio virus into your system, you will of course test "positive" for it. But your body will fight it off. The difference is that we've NEVER tested asymptomatic people before. Now we are -- and it's purely to jack up the bullshit numbers with the bullshit PCR test and its bullshit false positives. But trust the SCIENCE. The very scientific science-y science.

30 The problem is that people are sold on the idea that the vaccines are totally effective and that the people getting sick and spreading it are all the unvaccinated. That way, they can work up the masses to attack anyone that isn't vaccinated.

Not this.

Whether intentionally released or not, China has capitalized mightily and come out on top. Her regional hegemony is fully cemented and her global power schemes are well underway. Her industries have thrived and her exports have soared to the point that global container distribution has had to be recalibrated. Her greatest adversary is well in hand with a dull dotard at the helm in front of a corrupt politburo that does her bidding when it is not pursuing its own aggrandizement, power and riches.

Not only has there been no war - which would be fully justified, including the use of atomic weapons on key cities and infrastructure in Red China - there has not even been so much as new tariffs let alone something more severe like a blockade or a debt repudiation.

Whether it was a deliberate plan or extremely skillful exploitation of unexpected events is immaterial. Red China has won this affair handily.

PURPOSEFULLY hid the fact of the leak.
PURPOSEFULLY let is spread through the world, Europe in particular, through unrestricted travel out of China.
PURPOSEFULLY withheld knowledge about the characteristics of the virus.

That's short-sighted. They could have lied for the past 18 months and still have things well in hand. The problem is that they've been lying for closer to 18 *years* and can't buy credibility now at any price. If you chart the volume and provability of the lies spewed out by our ruling class, we probably hit the knee of the curve back during the second JEF administration, and it went parabolic during the run-up to the Trump administration.

The last 18 months are just the icing on a much larger cake that's been baking for a generation.

71 How about start with the fact the vaccine is not for "everyone". Instead of pushing to vaccinate "everyone" and punishing the unvaccinated like they're lepers, at least make that distinction. They still don't even know the effect on pregnant women. Not do they know the future effect on women who may have children. Unusual coagulation is a problem for people with heart disease or stroke issues. People who had COVID don't need the vaccine. People in extraordinarily good shape without co morbidities won't get a serious infection. How about this one, ultimately it's your choice to get it or not. Nope. Now Democrats have enlisted their corporate Vichy's to force your behavior. No reasoning, just a pure exercise of power.

Posted by: Marcus T at August 03, 2021 01:35 PM (sOXXq)

72 So it's not any kind of huge point to make that vaccines which were sold as stopping most, but not all, covid infections turn out to stop most, but not all, covid infections.

Maybe not huge, but the whole point of a risk-benefit assessment is to weigh the pros and cons. If there's a diminished benefit, that's something to consider when deciding whether the risks are outweighed (particularly when there's a fair likelihood that you've already been exposed to Covid and have some naturally derived defense).

A "Breakthrough Case" is a case of the 'Vid that occurs in a fully vaccinated person. They've had the full vaccine course and still contract the disease. This implies any number of things. It could be that the vaccine didn't work (unlikely), that the vaccine wore off (likely, based on UK and Israeli data) or that there is a new variant against which the vaccine is ineffective.

128 Quick update on the Israeli vaccine data
It is bad and getting worse.

A reminder - Israel and the United Kingdom were the two major countries that vaccinated earliest and most aggressively. And they are much better at providing data than the United States - they provide updates every day, which limits their opportunities to manipulate it.

What is useful is examining the trend among serious illness in older vaccinated people.And it is terrible. The rate of cases has risen 12-fold IN A MONTH. On July 4th, fewer than 1 older vaccinated person in 100,000 became seriously ill. Today the rate is 10 in 100,000.
Remember - comparing unvaccinated and vaccinated at this point hardly matters. THE DARK GREEN LINE IS THE ONE THAT COUNTS: (graph) And though we cannot be sure what will happen next, it is worth noting that rates of serious illness among the vaccinated are now as high as they were among the unvaccinated only TWO WEEKS AGO. Perhaps that's why the Israeli government is now predicting a further quadrupling of new serious cases by the end of August:

133 A quadrupling would represent 800 serious cases, approaching the peak of the winter surge (which was itself probably FUELED by a spike in cases following the first vaccine dose) - and far more than at this time last year.

And remember, Israel CANNOT BLAME THE UNVACCINATED FOR THIS SPIKE - around 85 percent of adults over 30 are fully vaccinated. That's well above the range experts said would provide herd immunity.

And yet instead of pulling back and at least considering a pause on vaccinations as it digests the disaster of the last month, Israel is going the other way - pushing a third dose on the elderly. Meanwhile the cry to mandate or quasi-mandate vaccinations in the United States is only getting louder.

135 If you tell people that viruses mutate and they become more infectious/less deadly, people tell you that you don't understand medicine. If you read the actual medical studies, they say the same. I think the only people they consider versed in medicine are those bots talking about death bed confessions.

More virulent/less severe is a sound evolutionary strategy, and it shows up time and again.

This is why I worry about the vaccines being non-sterilizing. If the person doesn't get severely sick, it opens the door for variants of greater severity because there is less evolutionary benefit to being less severe.

The virus is mutating in order to be able to continue to infect all of the unvaccinated people who are physiologically pretty much 100% exactly like they were two years ago.

142 Oh and the reason we didn't already have an actual corona virus vax, or a corona virus gene therapy a la the jabs is because corona viruses mutate making any vax/jab only effective for a short period of time.
This is similiar to the flu vaccine, but the flu vaccine is 100 year old tech with well understood side effects and long term impacts.

Getting a yearly flu shot is a hell of a lot safer then a quarterly covid booster.

145 my guess would be the risks of the vaccine itself are much lower than the risks of being unvaccinated against covid-19.

And
The risks and severity of side affects of the vaccine are less than those of Covid.
Were two main factors in my decision to take the shots.

Another factor was Israel. They're really picky.

159 How do they know that the vaccine made their symptoms less? They're being told that of course but where's the proof?

How about it didn't make your symptoms less it just gave you a less dangerous form of the covid that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

Now this is how the "old' vaccinations worked. They gave you a weak form of the disease that wouldn't kill you or give you the bad symptoms like the full fledged disease would and then you gained immunity from it.

I've never been doubtful that this form of "vaccination" could work. but I have been concerned about the side effects that were showing up and what the real numbers of those were in relation to how many got the shot. But they lied from the beginning so I can't trust anything they have to say that's positive. And partly cause they're still lying.

How hard can it be to have someone exhale into a plastic bag and then find the virus particles? After all we had it screamed to the rafters that Covid-19 can last on countertops for 3 days or some such nonsense.

The Israelis apparently issued a study showing natural immunity from having the disease is several times more effective than the vaccine. So why couldn't our vaunted public health bureaucraps do that? I don't think they even thought of doing such a study.

The goal posts have moved to "we never said the vaccine would stop infections and transmission, just they prevent severe disease and death". That's how Miss Lindsey is being spun.

The Israeli data shows that is starting to fail as well. The rate of serious cases amongst the vaccinated there has increased 10 fold in a month, from about 1/100K to 10/100K.

As a Japanese paper out a while back showed, the half-life of the S antibodies in the system is about 68 days, with levels dropping to nil in about 200 days.

The eldery and high risk were vaccinated first, and it's been about 6 months, hence the rising "breakthrough cases".

Note Miss Lindsey was vaccinated back in Dec. 2020.

Therefore natural immunity is superior to the jab."

Actually the studies show that at 8 mos (and counting) memory cell immunity resides in bone marrow at levels undiminished from the start of infection. And, circulating antibodies are typically at high levels at 8 mos as well.

No memory cell immunity immediately degrades, and by its nature it exists to produce antibodies after circulating/serum levels drop. So by basic physiology, and analogy/Occam's razor as compared to other viruses and the function of immunity, natural immunity is likely years' long (as in plural years) and maybe decades or lifetime.

And, there is some data to suggest that vaccination destroys that natural immunity.

Not only "no reason" but a real, serious, net negative tradeoff may be present here.

That's not a true statement for many people. Especially when discussing an experimental treatment. By its very nature many of those side effects are not well known and do not show up sometimes for years or more.

227 There are multiple layers of cosmetic theater going on, so much so that some of them think they're lying to us but are inadvertently telling the truth.

The masks are pushed only because they are a political football, but - they've also been lying their asses off about surface transmission, which actually means they cut down on contamination quite a bit in some environments.

Cliff notes: there is almost no risk of catching it in direct sunlight from anyone who isn't touching you or literally in your face. There is a high risk of catching it directly from others in enclosed, mostly UV-free spaces (masks or no masks), a very high risk in restrooms, and a moderate risk in any indoor spaces if you're practicing poor hygiene and touching things and then your face/nose/eyes without paying attention.

Survival of this thing on surfaces is EXTREMELY well understood. What is not well understood is how much exposure you really need to get sick, mostly because we don't have a good idea of how many are resistant to it and why.

They try to say that if you have certain related conditions and are on blood thinners that negates the risk. But it sounds strangely like they don't know. Ditto myocarditis. Their answer is that a side effect of getting COVID is myocarditis, worse then what the vaccine would induce. But what if you are at extremely low risk of contracting the virus?

Not only that. Some vaccines led to the elimination of the disease as most all the pools of victims were known and could be reached and vaccinated.

This can't happen with the covid cause it already can be found in animals. There's no way to vaccinate all the animals so there will always be a source for the virus to take hold.

The real procedure is to vaccinate those that don't have it and find and use therapies that will cure or make less sick those that do get it.

Because of the way the pharma has monetized the vaccine, no one's doing the therapy search. At least not in this country. Because if they are, the FDA is shutting them down or making it hard for them to make it know. The info is still getting out there. And that's the real crime here. People go to the hospital and told to go back home till it gets worse but they don't have a protocol for easing or erasing the symptoms so when they come back to the hospital it's to die.

Posted by: jakee308 at August 03, 2021 02:00 PM (wb4G5)

258 The existing science and observational history on masks is of course quite a bit worse than the WH adviser admits. It's pretty simple. Anything other than a true respirator offers little to no protection, either way. A properly fit/worn and frequently changed N95 *may* offer *some* protection for the wearer, none for anybody else (evidence is weak, but not non-existent, for this).

And all this was known in March 2020. As I endlessly repeat, the CDC itself published a meta-study in May 2020 (!!!) summarizing the science on masks to date (from which the observations above are drawn).

There was a well-designed, very large N randomized controlled trial in Denmark in spring '20. It showed no measurable benefit from mask-wearing. And, of course, they had trouble getting it published.

They'll never do it. The whining about how we have to help China "save face" will prevent anyone from ever forcing China to take responsibility. It was the same when the USSR was the big threat - it was always too dangerous to pin them down and make them eat crow, we had to leave them a path to retreat instead of actually trying to beat them. And the British were obsessing about embarrassing Hitler back in the 30s, too. It's always the same.

Posted by: Braenyard at August 03, 2021 01:53 PM (Jd8Rz)


as explained in that piece, and alluded to by Ace up there, in Israel especially, they have the majority over 30 vaxxed up. And those that are not getting it are most likely too sickly to get the vaccine. That is why there is a handful of those elderly that have not gotten it, no doubt. So of course the very sickly who cannot get the vaccine (case) will be more likely to be more serious. But that is not what the data is showing in general. The trend is up. Vax or not, it is all going back up. Serious cases.

One may allow lee-way for the initial panic, as some kind of prudent application of the precautionary principle (I do); but much beyond that, nope. Not a bit.

"Social distancing", like all "mitigation" measures, has never been shown to deliver any benefit against a prevalent highly infectious virus. Leave alone that the metrics (6 feet, or in the UK 2 meters then, magically .... one meter!) have zero scientific empirical basis.

But Dr. Malone said the healthy population should not get it, because as the effectiveness wanes, that basically is the stage where the virus adapts ... it is breeding resistance to the vaccines.

But all stats are suspect now ... they not only lie, they fabricate "evidence". (same with Trump/Russia .. not just make up the story, but fabricate evidence).

312 Don't know if he's in the thread, but Moron publius has been bird-dogging the vaccine issue. I formally gave up on it all before the vaccines were out (my specialty was the futility/damage of "mitigation" policies).

Briefly: the mRNA vaccines, unsurprisingly, seem to wane in efficacy over time, and fairly quickly. I think Israeli data are that prevention of infection is down to 16% (down from the high 90s) within 6 months. Has to do with the way they work.

I think the current things are better labeled "short term preventatives/prophylactic therapeutics" than "vaccines", if one is to use the latter term the way it has been used for decades and is understood by most.

And there's value to greatly reducing odds of severe disease, obviously. In fact, it's a tremendous tool, properly used, and evaluated on an individual basis. As ace properly explains.

But it's not a "public health" issue, technically. It's individual, or private, health.

Sort of. They want a regional skirmish - something that requires the commitment of moderate resources for a long period of time, but zero existential risk to themselves. They love those affairs that grind up soldiers at a slow pace and causes a lot of sweet, sweet MIC money to flow indefinitely and permits the entrenchment of their crews into the state apparatus and budgeting processes.

This would be different. This would potentially be war with Red China, and with that country firing the first metaphorical (the virus) and literal (retaliation against blockade or similar measure) shots. That would be an existential war, with full mobilization and no room for games or personal enrichment by playing both sides or elongating the conflict. That kind of war - real, total existential war - is not on the list of things they *ever* want. That's too chancy, too much can go wrong and they might not come out on top.

Yes. There were several studies in JAMA which statistically bear this out. It is also reflected in the CDC data by state and vaccination rate. This far anyway. States with a higher then 70% vaccination rate have lower rates of hospitalization and serious infection. That at least implies some added level of protection. But that's only one aspect to consider.

This is completely separate from individual intolerance/sensitivity that can make the mRNA a side-effect risk for some.

It can take years of experimentation and testing before a proper vaccine is achieved.

My reason for not taking the so-called vaccine is that the method of producing it was rushed and half-assed. Nobody knows what this stuff will do to humans in a year or 5 years or 10.

If that's true, the biggest at-risk group for serious complications from covid is over and done with.

Yes, these things should not be called a "vaccine" at this point, only a type of prophylactic to be evaluated on an individual case-by-case, risk-benefit way.

That conclusion, and any recommended actions, will be whatever Ron Klain tells DoD they must be. Klain likely gave DoD the required conclusions at the start of the effort, so that the "evidence" and the report can be carefully assembled to totally support Klain's required conclusion. I cannot believe Klain will tell DoD Intel to conclude the bug came out of the Wuhan or any other Chinese Lab, intentionally or accidentally. Hopefully I am all wrong about this.

the corona virus to make the virus transmissible between humans.

Pfizer and Moderna force your body to produce protein spikes similiar to Wu Flu. Your body recognizes these as invaders and learns to attack them. Moderna latter was working on something similiar as a cancer treatment for a few years before Wu Flu.

Perfectly stated, fixerupper. And as I noted above, *NONE* of this is new, or unknown, or not exhaustively researched. Virus control from face coverings has been researched since just after WWII.

One of my favorites for dark sad comedy was when OSHA issued an emergency circular or whatever last year, during the big fires that were putting particulate air pollution into northwest urban areas. They warned that masks people were wearing for the virus would not protect them from the smoke/particulates ..... which are hundreds or thousands of times larger than what people were trying to filter with their stupid masks.

But my mind and language skills just about break at this point.

We're talking about re-instituting "mitigation" measures, none of which have any impact, were known to be useless and have just been confirmed to be useless by a gigantic global empirical test, because a "vaccine" that was known to be non-sterilizing turns out to be .... non-sterilizing.

Unassailable evidence would do the trick quite quickly, official proclamations notwithstanding. A truly very bad outbreak does things like kill people - people you know and have met - and that does get noticed and noticed quickly. This was never that bad. Most people don't know anyone dead of the 'Rona. Many many people have tested positive and never gotten sick - which adds to the credibility problem. Bad testing? Good natural immunity? Who knows - but the point remains that testing positive and not getting sick doesn't do wonders for convincing people it's a serious problem. False positives are bad for legitimacy.

Thing is, they don't wear the masks for hours and hours. Plus, those long term masks are NIOSH certified, or they're the quick term operating room masks of high quality. We're not allowed to wear the NIOSH masks, because they have a ventilation flap, they don't filter what you exhale.

What the public are getting are boxes full of cheap-ass paper masks from china (questionably sourced), or wearing cloth masks made of anything from Dad's old shirt to Cheap, chinese fabric from questionable sources that were never meant to be used for anything other than fashion. People aren't washing and they're not replacing.

454 Yeah. The hazard from the masks is not fibers. The hazard is that you are rebreathing germs, You are not filtering anything smaller than a bacteria out. And it's the strain on the lungs that is the hazard.

And surgeons and nurses don't wear the same mask all day nor do they wear them for very long. In the Operating room they have a nurse who's there just to keep things sterile and swap out stuff as it gets used so it's not reused and that includes masks and gloves and other tools. If it's a long operation they will have a team for each part of the operation and/or a "buddy" that they swap out with so they can get a break as no one can do that for hours and remain in top shape.

So No. No lung problems from particles. Maybe from some other syndrome from the restriction of the air using a mask.

468 I am a tad obsessed with just how utterly horrible the communications about the vaccines have been and I did a twitter rant the other day about how people, by which I mean politicians and the press and the CDC, were using effective and eliminate interchangeably and without noting so.

As ace set forth, if you paid attention, the claim was never that the vaccine would eliminate 100% of the risk. But you'd have to pay attention closely. The public commentary was AND STILL FREAKING IS that if you get the vaccine, you will not get infected. It doesn't matter that the rate of breakthrough infection is still way way way below 1%. That it happens at all makes people distrust, as it is rational that they will, the claims by those shrilly demanding everyone get vaccinated.

Or, in brief, people should listen to me because I'm Better.

Not traditionally, because people weren't wearing and re-wearing single-use disposable masks for 8+ hours a day every day, day after day, for weeks.

That was my point. I suspect many people will learn from this, and it's going to be in a bad way.

506 DaveA, as I said above I gave up on it all long before vaccines became an active empirical issue, but I think there is no consensus among the truly expert about whether these preventative/therapeutics ("vaccines") run the risk of ADE, or breeding a better virus. It's known to be a risk of immunization, but the whole mRNA mechanism may not in fact have that risk. Guess we'll see (well, maybe - lysenkoization of "science" is so advanced that normal expectations from a lifetime must now be discarded or considered, at best, provisional).

China was awarded the Olympics for 22 about ten years ago. Countries compete to be awarded the Olympics years and years out as they need to build the incredible amounts of infrastructure needed to house all the venues, athletes, etc. Which end up not being used eventually or repurposed.

What the hell are you talking about? You said that masks shed fibers and there should be an uptick of "asbestos-like lung cancers." I said there won't be because we have a a large number of people who have been wearing masks for a very long time and there is no data that show what you are claiming. I said nothing about using the same masks over and over.

I was just recalling if my mind imagined that they said from the beginning that the vax would not stop people from getting nor spreading the Chinese lung rot (which I know know means a vax is leaky/non-sterilizing). I remember those caveats from the beginning, but then they ran a campaign that sometimes outright lied about that or just strongly implied it would stop the coof by using the finest legal torture of English.

He could suggest some demented lock down...but I wonder. They need Newsome to squeak it out in CA and he's beginning to bleed out from Blacks and Hispanics like the Titantic dumped robber barons into the North Atlantic.

The lock downs are killing off Dems with minorities - I think he may just try to walk this suicide mission back. But, I have lost just about every bet I'm made thinking that at some point the Dems would at least try to act like mature adults....but I think announcing some national demand for lock downs would finish the Dems for a long long time...certainly in every local election coming up.

-------------

In June, our office complex went to "fully vaxxed can unmask only," but without the "prove your status" bit. Separately there was a wink-wink-voluntary survey to self-attest your status. One of the options was "decline to say."

Just this week, new orders are now back to "everyone must mask regardless of status." This was communicated to everyone via email, in which the EVP scolded everyone about how disappointed he was to see such a high discrepancy between "number of employees observed to be unmasked" versus the number of people who self-attested to be fully vaccinated.

Basically, shame on you all for either lying and taking your mask off AND/OR for ignoring the survey.

524 These "breakthroughs" are not measured the same way as the vaccine trials. The trials required clinical symptoms in order to be counted as a positive. The ones in the news only require a PCR positive. So we're comparing apples and oranges. Just what you would do to muddy the waters.

Here's my post you were against:

"And I'll say it again, we'll start seeing a LOT of asbestos-style lung cancers in the next decade or so from people wearing the crappy little disposable masks for 8 hours a day and weeks at a time.

Those things shed fiber like a mofo, and those fibers are now in lungs."

The bolded part was my point. I was puzzled at what was controversial about it, especially since we apparently agree.

Yeah, the vaccine is bullshit, and my natural immune system provides more effective and longer protection. Just sayin. Even though I'm like a lotta years on the far side of 29.

Posted by: Super Straight White Privileger at August 03, 2021 03:14 PM (l5R6/)

534 >>I saw a number of 90% vaccination rates among the over age 65 population, though I can't remember where. If that's true, the biggest at-risk group for serious complications from covid is over and done with. Sure, people will get the disease (the vaccines were never promised to be 100% effective, and the Israelis say mRNA vaccines decline rapidly in effectiveness) but they will be less likely to die.

Why this panic over Delta variant I cannot even guess. It's completely bizarre.
Posted by: Huck Follywood at August 03, 2021 02:18 PM


It would be over and done with IF the vax had long-term efficacy. But apparently it only lasts 3-6 months. So the seniors who got vaxxed early this year are now vulnerable again.

537 There is another possibility in regards to Dr. Benson catching COVID, although I admit it's a miniscule one. He could have caught it from the vaccine itself. If he has Variant D though, that should be impossible since the vaccines were based on the original strain.
