But the document says somewhere that the vaccine is safe so you should not be alarmed.
And now I understand why you hyper rooting on only a few pages per month. Imagine if after 55 years the final page goes out saying that, eventually the vaccine will kill everyone in the next 10 years.
In that case you won't be here but maybe I will (not with my food habits but anywho...) and I will be bouncing up and down with my walking stick saying "I told you so!!" but there won't be anyone left.
So here is a down payment just tin case... I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
Don't expect any return on your investment. After all, the Pfizer vaccine is an mRNA vaccine. You are creating mRNA all the time in every cell in your body.
Oh yeah, you WILL die eventually, too, so perhaps it's the mRNA that is killing us all. OH NOES!!!!

Did you read what I read, or did you stop at that word? I didn't say the US didn't fund it, my reply could have been summed up as, "Duh!" Of COURSE the US funded research into viruses, and we SHOULD. That was the part you seem to have skipped over.
This work is being done all over, including in the US. A few years back there was some investigation into how many mutations would take a relatively benign virus to a non-benign virus. At the moment, I forget which it was, but I think it is from a common variation of the flu to the Spanish Flu, but I could have the wrong disease. That research was conducted somewhere in the US midwest (Wisconsin comes to mind, but it was several years ago), and the number of mutations needed was very low.
So, yeah, I know the US is funding that research and I believe the US SHOULD be funding that research.
Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
How much do they pay you?....
Errr, I mean yes US should fund , so why that idiot denied everything at first and then when the hammer was falling down he acclaim it?Was it because
A)He was an idiot.
B)They should not have funded that program?
And all in all I wouldn't have a problem if you just kept you viruses in you back yard but as it showed they can escape. Unless moving your dirty laundry to China and hope for the best was the initial thought.
I remember saying a year or so in this thread that you should apologize for spreading the virus.I was mocked of course. Back then nothing was known about the funding and such. Why did i said it? Because the press said it was not happening, to cope with another free press thing we talked before.
So I'm still waiting for that apology...

Really?
what your saying here is at the very least disingenuous and at most wilfully ignorant
Your argument might as well be - a lab was doing research on Lung Cancer, we know that they do Lung Cancer research therefore if we use Occam's razor we can say the likely do Pancreatic Cancer research as well.
We dont have any real evidence of it, BUUUUUT they do some other research very similar so you no .....
Your argument is the very worst of arguments, one that takes a logical starting point that states real facts and then extrapolates those facts into deciding that other facts MUST be true, mainly because you dont trust the Chinese or the US government or whoever.

Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
The kind of research you describe ie manipulation of virus's, GOF research is what Virus labs do all over the world. Its common practice.
The jump many seem to have made, to it meaning as this particular lab as it is in Wuhan, and doing corona research likely therefore did research on this particular virus and released it either on purpose or accidently is exactly that a jump based upon distrust mainly of China, rather than evidence that it actually happened.
If you or anybody else has actual evidence of Sars-Cov-2 being manipulated or being present in that lab we would be having a different discussion.

Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
I did not make any "jump"
You kicked off your argument by telling Shaggy that "You're not well-informed then...". That you are well informed is implicit in that statement (otherwise you would be unqualified to make that statement). You then went on to lay out a bunch of assertions, all of which lean toward the conclusion that the virus originated in the Wuhan lab.
Yes, you rounded off by saying "I leave it to you, to apply occams razor here" but if you're now going to assert that you weren't making an argument that required a jump to be made then you're just deploying weak rhetorical devices to avoid having to justify the argument you were clearly making.
But that's really an aside because the key point was that you took Shaggy's use of the word "disingenuous" to mean "incorrect", which isn't what disingenuous means. The argument Shaggy was making was not that the virus didn't escape from the Wuhan lab but rather that such a discovery would be unremarkable.
Viral research is carried out throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia... worldwide. And it's carried out under multitudinous international funding schemes. This is a good thing and we want it to continue. It's the pre-existence of that research that allowed us to develop Covid vaccines so rapidly once the virus began to circulate.
I'm not sure whether you were intending to assign blame to China for this (I'm reasonably sure you weren't) but it's common for people to do so so I'll address it. It is possible, even probable given the current evidence (though as yet unproven), that the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab. However, if that turns out to be the case, the worst accusation that could be levelled at China would be one of incompetence and, given the haphazard response from the rest of the world, I can't help feeling we're standing in glass houses with a pocketful of rocks on that one.
Where it get's really weird, though, is when people start trying to ascribe some malicious intent to China. And they usually don't just come out and say it because it's such an obviously stupid thing to say. Instead they'll imply by calling it the China Virus or the Kung Flu.
The truth is, this came from China because China got unlucky. There but for the grace of God goes any developed nation.

You're right about that, and it's particularly annoying. We COULD know, but China won't allow it, so we won't know unless they change their tune.
The virus originated in a bat. That's pretty certain. Bats are ideally suited for creating virus variants, and they harbor LOTS of corona viruses, including the closest known wild relative to the COVID virus. It would be highly improbable that some predecessor didn't start in bats. The big question is whether it was helped along. Heck, do we really care whether the virus came out of a wet market or if some researcher happened to mishandle a bat? It barely matters.
What WOULD matter would be if some researcher was manipulating the virus as part of some experiment and THAT got out. And we aren't likely to know that for decades, or even centuries, if ever. However, I do feel that makes it more likely that it was a deliberate alteration that was accidentally released. If there was no mistake made, what in the world are they covering it up for? Of course, China covers stuff up just because they can, so it's no guarantee, but still....

What Funky (and Shaggy before him) brought to the table and which you've continued to ignore is that nobody is arguing that the virus did not originate in the Wuhan lab. What is being argued is that 1. it is unproven and 2. if it did that is unremarkable.
But you go ahead and rail against an argument that nobody's making if it makes you feel good.

Well obviously it's not commonly accepted on this forum. Unless backed by proof, commonly accepted and assertion, are the same thing. Just semantics to me in this case. Actually wouldn't claiming something as "commonly accepted" be an assertion? lol I wonder how someone determines what's commonly accepted? I've never felt there was an agreement reached on this subject, maybe in other parts of the world it's different.
But I think it does matter where it originated. Because if it came from a lab, then there is a problem that needs to be fixed. If it was intentional that's something completely different. If it came from a wet market it's a different problem.

Unfortunately, I think WE are the problem. There isn't one of us on here who hasn't created bugs in the past. We didn't mean to. We wouldn't have done so had we known it was a bug when we created it. But we did it. For most of us, it was nothing more than an embarrassment, but it still happened.
The code that is held up as the gold standard as being the cleanest code ever written is that which ran the space shuttles. It was said to have no more than one bug per release, and since there was a LOT of code to the space shuttle, that's a VERY low rate per thousand lines of code. It's not zero, though. It's notably higher than zero. When it comes to certain things that we do, being any bit higher than zero can have catastrophic consequences.
I'm not sure that we are capable of avoiding all accidents. I believe that research into viruses is essential....but the official death toll in the US due to COVID (the real death toll is higher, as the US official count is clearly an undercount) has topped all battlefield deaths in the US for all wars in the entire 20th century combined, and we aren't done yet.
Of course, that's largely because of the ease of travel and large population size, which makes any such virus spread rapidly. Therefore, we are far better off knowing about viruses (and other pathogens) that can, or are likely, to jump to humans. The alternative is to stick our heads in the sand and hope for the best....and to be clear, 'the best' in the case of diseases is that we're already dead by the time the next pandemic comes along. They always happen, it's just a question of whether or not we are around for it.
Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
Except here they didn't care to study a virus but they tried to mutate one.
But sure, no biggy, next time we will just slap you hand gently and say "don't do it again". Comparing space shuttle software bug to a virus experiment...Hmmm. Just hmmm.
Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
Do you have some reliable source for that? If it could be proven that happened, it seems like we'd know. All I have seen is speculation and hypothesis.

I'm not reading all the messages, I know that the opinions varies and much, and that some have strong positions. OK, that's life, I don't pretend that I'll convince everybody, or anybody.

I have almost no doubt that it wasn't a natural infection, my only current doubt is whether it was an accident or it was done on purpose, deliberated, planned.
And as I get more evidence and gain more understanding on the issue, I'm every time more convinced that it wasn't an accident either.
Also, I used to think that they were the Chinese behind this, but not any more, it is quite clear for me that they were some Americans (and may be some Europeans). I'm not saying the US government but private people.
It is also alarming how the dissident voices are silenced and "nobody" seems to care.
Even if someone is wrong, they should be able to express what they want to say, shouldn't they?
Well, that's not happening now.
Why the "Plandemic" videos are banned?
What are they afraid of?
When someone wants to silence someone is because he has something to hide. Simple.
Even if some of the speculations were wrong, it seems that some are right.
It is difficult to know the truth because these kind of things are not done at sunlight. But if you understand how the world works (my Bible studies helped me a lot), and seeing now what they are doing, it is getting clearer and clearer.
And I started just researching about Ivermectin. I started to see how the mass media said one thing (and the WHO, FDA, etc), and Thousands doctors all around the globe say another thing, presenting evidence that were all ignored and silenced (lying a lot).
From that starting point, I begun to discover that it wasn't just about Ivermectin, it was the same about everything.
It was the same before the pandemic, things that we don't care and don't understand normally to much, but now how this pandemic (or plandemic) affected our lives, we payed more attention (at least I did).
About how they managed to convince the masses, it is social engineering... but I'll leave it there.
About that there is a global agenda, I'll try to point some things, not related to the pandemic, that should be clear enough if someone is paying attention:
1) All gays are good.
2) Color people are better than white (I personally think we should not make difference based on races).
3) Males are bad, females are good and need to be against males.
4) Eating meat is bad.
5) Animals have the same value as humans.
May be more, but at least these one should be clear enough.

Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
its not a natural virus. its engineered.
I read somewhere about in the 90's about making a "virus" that was quite harmless more dangerous, this for the purpose of "weaponize" it, I think the "spike" protein, was a human "upgrade" and I also think it was patented.
anyway, if you want to see the corruption, just do some research:
- pfizer in the 90' patented the s1 spike protein
- operation warp speed
- anser
- palantir
- fors marsh
- publicis sapient
and put them together, about the money, shelling (to protect the manufactures such as pfizer, you need a front, a shield)

Yep, didn't think it'd take long. OK, you're not ascribing it to China, you're ascribing it to "Some Americans (and maybe some Europeans)" which is an even wilder rabbit hole, frankly. It's really just the usual, amorphous "them"

I agree and posthumous examination of any disaster always has value. What I was objecting to is the tone that was developing that China is in anyway extraordinary because the virus originated there. Nobody blamed Japan for Fukashima. Do we blame the US for the Spanish Flu (it almost certainly originated in the US, not Spain)?. Sometimes stuff happens. When it does examination has value but hyperbolic blame has none.

I don't know.
It's like crumbling in the corner going berserk saying, it's not true it's not true, giveme evidence giveme evidence.
I guess giving out evidence for the lab is the hardest part as they are deep in secrecy, but they slipped some so you need to combine stuff.
From there on you neither need to mock when you got nada to prove the opposite nor have 100% certainty but this seems to be more of a ball park in the "conspirators" side.
Also sapator jokes wannabes, just leave that to me, don't make a sap of yourself.

I'm Batman!!
P.S. Have a merry Xmas, I'm working for 3 days next week and then I'm off. Thinking to got to the mountains as it may snow but I'll think about it. (note to Shaggy, no I'm not hiking I just do some skiing and enjoy the cold from a resort and of course a LOT, A LOT of meat eating as these areas Levadia, Parnassos,Arahova have super meat and SUPER home made sausages, mmmmm...Oh, just though they won't let me in as I'm not vacinated....Buuuut ...)

That's the problem, though. I started out assuming this was just a simple hop. The viruses are there. Bats are loaded with corona viruses because of their interesting immune system(s). There was no need for some lab transmission, and the early statements suggested that there wasn't any. Over time, though, the behavior of China has been rather striking. Their an odd country with a mix of paranoia and inferiority complex, though. In any other country, I would say that their behavior certainly looks like they are covering up something, but with China...it could be that they are covering up something utterly benign, like the name of the virus. They seem to overreact in some odd things (see the censorship around the name of Kim Jung Un), perhaps this is one of them?
So, I've moved from thinking that it was just simple transmission (they do eat EVERYTHING, so transmission from wild species is pretty likely) to being unsure. The US intelligence agency came to the same conclusion: They couldn't say. Now, for the paranoid sector that believes that anybody who doesn't agree with them is therefore part of the conspiracy, that alone would be a smoking gun, but I'm not in that crowd. The intelligence community is pretty conservative, if they can't find support for a conservative position, then I tend to believe that they really can't.
I am well aware that there are people coming up with wild speculations. As long as there are at least three of them that find one another (and sometimes only two), then they will amplify off one another until their speculations become certainty. I stampeded a herd of dairy cows that way. All I had to do was convince two of them...and the whole herd went into full-blown panic. It was hilarious. Dairy cows are NOT designed to stampede.
Still, I'm looking for some clear evidence one way or another. People assert their certainty, but they don't back it with anything and they don't have much of a track record on their own. This forum is just opinion.
Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
South Korea’s "Joongang Daily" reported that China is making rapid progress in the global electric vehicle battery market. China's electric vehicle market is growing rapidly, and most Chinese battery manufacturers have doubled or more than tripled their performance. The reality of the global electric vehicle battery market is: "Walking Japan, running South Korea and flying China".
The virus has begun to spread again, and some cities in Zhejiang, China have been quarantined again. Many companies are struggling to survive, but new energy vehicles have made profits due to the sharp rise in oil prices.
Re: Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
The virus against pneumonia is only one type, and more types of viruses will break out in the future. Real zombie viruses and vampire viruses can happen. Including the large-scale global explosion of the atomic bomb, everyone was exposed to intense radiation, and half of the people died within 10 years. If the United States and the United Kingdom still adopt the method of collective immunization (just wait for death, everyone will be infected together, and the survival will prove that Darwin's theory of evolution is useful, and those with poor health or no money deserve to die), the world will become even more dangerous.
C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter
There's just no reason to use garbage like InputBox. - jmcilhinney
The threads I start are Niya and Olaf free zones. No arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign. - yereverluvinuncleber

I don't know if I agree, they have some pretty strong evidence of a world wide conspiracy.
Etc. It is everywhere.
For example the next James Bond will be black and gay...
This seems to also be a common theme with people that claim their opinion is fact, without backing it up with facts.
I like to talk with intelligent, prepared and well informed people, but this is not the place.
