Negative effects from the vaccines, if they do show up, will take a while to do so. And its a safe bet that if any do show up, they'll turn the mutating virus into a far bigger threat than it ever was in the first place.
Its also safe to say that in the event unforeseen problems do manifest themselves, the public wont be blaming the weak governments, and 'Experts' that promoted vaccine uptake, oh no, the blame will be pinned on those who took the time to do their own research, and held back.
Covid has been monetised in Every western country !
In the US, healthcare was able to claim money from the G for treating Covid patients, so no surprise that the number of those supposedly afflicted went up.
Even in countries with socialised healthcare, the virus is an opportunity to lay claim to a share of the top up pot that governments are offering.
Just look at the example of the UK right now. The NHS staff who were hailed as 'Hero's' even to the extent of the public bashing pots and pans every Thursday night at 8, have just put in for a 12.5% pay rise. The UK government are offering 1%, and needless to say the NHS folk will be using the 'Rona' and its handling as a means of leverage.
The Covid has been the first big health scare in the western world for maybe 60 years or more, and the general population have become so pussified in those years that even a virus that ranks low to non existent in the history of health threats to humanity has evoked fear on a biblical scale.
Short memories eh ?
I can still remember back when there might have been the slimmest of slim chances of stopping the spread, and masks were as hard to find as rocking horse shit, that Fauci and all other 'Experts' around the globe were saying dont wear masks.
Come to think of it, there aint been a single part of the Covid narrative that the 'Experts' have not done a 180 on. But hey, trust the Science, right ? :D
To be fair to Abbot, this time last year nobody knew how things would shape out.
A year on, and with more knowledge everyday, there are serious questions to be asked regarding the response. So serious that they'd rather see Fredo's brother ousted for bum and tiddy touching than face em.
Yep surprised he held it together, sorta. Started to stumble just a little at the 20 minute mark, but seemed to avoid disaster. He even got to mention his old man and Scranton. I was waiting for the empty seat at the dinner table line, but was disappointed.
Of course we dont know how many takes it took ? And I'd have to guess that the boost charge needed to get to do a half hour speech probably impacts on any remaining ability to sort of keep thing together ?
Its a safe bet that they need to have him do best part of at least a year in order to have any credence when the inevitable happens, and they want to play the 'Who Knew' card. So appearances and speeches will have to be rationed.
Logic suggests a fair jury may be empanelled by choosing only East Asians, or Native Americans ?
But then we'd loose the Showtime element of the trial, so any attempt at choosing disinterested jurors will be out to lunch.
My implicit bias leads me to think 90% of dot heads are slippery bustards that'll push whatever agenda they think will be most successful given local conditions.
No doubt that opinion based upon years of observation, makes me a bad man :O
Soy is for bringing livestock up to weight, period.
Trouble is its cheap, and is used to get protein levels up in a surprising number of foods. Baby formula has to be the most worrying ? Give infant boys huge amounts of phytoestrogens and then wonder why your male kid grows up with tits and is gay, or even trans ?
Stick to putting Soy into animal feeds.
Interestingly the article states that the South Africa mutation is the predominant strain the Moselle department of France. First time I heard that, and if true, we could assume that the mutation is on the same trajectory everywhere as the original variant, the difference being that the Oxford vaccine seems to offer only 10% efficacy at best against the SA mutant. No news yet on the reduced efficacy of the mRNA ones, but its a safe bet that it'll be below the 50% threshold that was required to get emergency use authorisation.
It'll be interesting as the vaccine rollouts press on into younger cohorts, especially if the numbers of deaths following inoculation stay the same. They wont have the excuse that old people die anyhow.
Medical diagnostics are at such a level now, that most of those claiming to be long haulers, whilst not showing diagnosable problems, are likely suffering psychological as opposed to physical problems.
Remember the so called Yuppy Flu, or Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome to give its supposed medical name ? Most doctors refused to acknowledge it as a physical condition. Now with the Covid its just another turnip ghost with which to scare a receptive public.
