They can't be serious with this shit - A new version of the COVID-19 omicron variant that may be the best yet at "evading immunity from vaccinations" subvariant labeled BA.4.6 (www.deseret.com)

Nope, you science denier! It’s time for a new Re-Immunization shot! Boosters are for those who don’t want to keep your grandma safe! You must take the new, especially formulated shot to completely reinforce your immune system from the new virus! Ignore the increase chance of heart attack and brain bleed! It’s for the greater good!

Obviously I'm just an idiot layman, but it's looking more and more like:

  1. The US funded unethical gain of function research in China to evade laws here.

  2. The US released or facilitated the leaking of the virus in or around Wuhan, China. Either directly from the lab or at the world military games in Wuhan in late 2019.

  3. China acted predictably and stifled news of the disease until it was too late -- whereupon they enacted draconian measures that still haven't been lifted (and indeed may still be accelerating).

  4. The virus and the reactions to it shut down the global economy, fully destabilizing wide swaths of the world.

All of this to regain power in the US.

Remember - the democrats coalesced around the potato mere days before the world shut down. A contentious primary just... ended abruptly right before chaos erupted.

The flagrant law violations in several battleground states exclusively benefitted the Democrats.

Seriously, who won from 2020? China? No, they locked down too hard to capitalize on the chaos (which never made sense to me if they were behind the whole thing). The only winner in 2020 was the DNC.

I laughed when China was frantically pointing fingers at the US during the summer of 2020, but now I suspect they were right all along.

What we're looking at now is essentially Pandora's Box on a global scale. The economic reaction to the virus release is just going to continue to spiral out of control until something breaks irreparably. We all can see it coming now, it's just a matter of which domino is first.

There's no evidence that this was an intentional release. The WIV was known even before 2019 to have inept containment protocols. Despite handling level IV pathogens, the lab was at best capable of level I containment schemes.

A leak was inevitable especially with dangerous pathogens like a bat coronavirus that was intentionally enhanced to become highly virulent among humans.

Again, I am a layperson and likely an idiot.

But, China's response to the pandemic has puzzled me more and more as the months and years have dragged on. What they have done doesn't make any sense if they released or accidentally leaked the virus. They locked down HARD when they were positioned to benefit the most by staying open for business. Even now they are locking down whole cities for a virus that doesn't pose a major threat anymore.

There was also the statement of the bat lady scientist who claimed this wasn't one of their projects and she was relieved. Its possible she's lying (she is CCP after all) but... what if it wasn't?

All i know is that the official story doesn't make any sense. And the dems were the only direct beneficiaries of the pandemic's first year.

The virus and the reactions to it shut down the global economy, fully destabilizing wide swaths of the world.

The latter was and continues to be the only thing causing problems. The virus has always had a >99% survival rate, without other comorbidities.

Well yes, of course. 100% agree. I just never expected to see MERS-level hysteria here in the US (having lived through the insanity of being locked out of work in Jeonju because someone's grandpa had it in Seoul was an... experience).

This all feels so incompetent, though. Its like 'they' (Congress, WHO, EU, China, Australia... literally fill in the blank on 'they') didn't realize that everything was in a deceptively tenuous balance. Now every 'correction' makes the problem worse in another way. The only way out is to rip the bandaid off and try to control the economic collapase or continue to bury their heads in the sand until something REALLY BAD happens.

With the white house diversity hire press sec claiming the economy has 'never been stronger' we know what their 'strategy' is.

The more I think about it, that whole period was weird. Remember Pelosi ripping up the SOTU speech? What a bizarre thing in hindsight - it's almost like she knew she didn't have to hide her disdain anymore.

And there it is. August we get hit with repeated "BA.4.6 is coming!" propaganda, come early September the push switches to "To keep Grandma safe, we need to have another wave of lockdowns and full mail-in voting in November!"

Dude, they built a virus that was explicitly designed to be hard to vaccinate against and that would be easily transmissible.

Covid-19 has crossed multiple species barriers including dogs and lions. Not bats though... weird.

Anyways, it's was always going to be hard to contain a bio-weapon, principally designed to do exactly this.

Eh, these "vaccines" are just shit.

This isn't some superbug. This is what happens when you try to vaccinate against a highly mutagenic virus with and untried technology, and then do a play-by-play of every variant.

The exact same thing would have happened if they tried to do this with the common cold.

One of those is illegal, and the other should be.

Gain of function research is banned in the U.S. NIH is also prohibited from directly funding gain of function research. That's why Fauci laundered the money through the EcoHealth Alliance.

It really wasn't. This disease is designed to be hyper-transmissible. It's more transmissible than the common cold. That is one of the reasons no vaccine could ever work.

Yeah, we're just kinda pushing its evolution along with this shit vaccine.

The problem with current vaccines is they have not been updated to deal with Omicron. The big problem is every time we vaccinate and boost, we keep presenting the virus with the SAME immunization profile, and because the original vaccine failed to completely eradicated and kill virus in the body, what happens is what virus that survives learns from that immune profile and adjusts. And it gets to repeat that again and again and again and again because we keep using the same fucking outdated vaccine.

We are essentially teaching the virus how to get better at fighting us. We're just lucky our immune systems are robust as it is, but they're essentially creating a pandemic among the vaccinated as they continue to do this shit.

That's kinda what happens when you forcibly inject a large portion of your populace with leaky gene therapy treatments.

The mRNA gene therapies have had negative efficacy against infection and transmission for months already.

I read an interesting paper arguing the researchers found that the reduction in severity because, already by shot number 2, the shots are training your body to be desensitized like with shots to decrease allergies.

So you get less of an inflammation response ( the reason why immunologically-naive adults and elders, especially fatties, got such an over-reaction to a fucking cold and died so much, but not kids who breezed through it like they do with other colds ),

But your body also lets the virus infect you more easily and stay there longer.

At least that's consistent with both statistical observation and direct tests done on boosted people's immune responses.

Then there is also the problem that vaccinated people are unlikely to produce certain types of antibodies against an actual SARS-2 infection, types which 95%+ of non-vaccinated people develop, and it's clear the vaccines cause much higher virus circulation.

This would explain why in places it's very atypical, we got ''a Summer wave (of the vaccinated)''.

The government yanked it's cases, hospitalizations and deaths incidence statistics from the daily dashboard because this Summer wave of sniffles is so concentrated among the vaccinated, they are now over-represented in all three categories.

The government is, of course, insisting you get a fourth/fifth booster, if you haved, get ''fully vaccinated'' with two shot ( LMAO ) and get your kids jabbed too. Which will make the problem worse. Criminal incompetence.

“I think people should be paying attention to it, for sure,” the chief scientist said. “Knowing what’s out there, what’s circulating, knowing that even if you’re vaccinated you can still get sick and spread that sickness, I think people should be aware of that.”

Yes, we should all be aware that there is absolutely no point in getting jabbed.

Besides staying up to date on vaccinations and booster shots to protect against severe illness, Oakeson said people should also wear masks in crowded indoor spaces, keep social distancing, and be ready for the possibility of a new wave of infections once school starts.

But also, get jabbed because...reasons. A variant that avoids the jab is also mitigated by the jab? Sounds sciency.

Oh, we should also mask and lockdown, because that has ever worked...

“It’s not one of these things that’s just a common cold that doesn’t affect us. We’re not going to get it once and be done with it. It’s going to keep reinfecting us, and it can cause long-term health effects,” he said. “We know how to protect ourselves.”

We sure do.

Them saying that it's "evading immunity from vaccinations" is like me saying I'm avoiding getting impaled by a unicorn. Technically they're both true, but not for the reasons they want people to believe.

The blue states will coerce people into masks and mRNA gene therapies with mandates and passports if they feel they can get away with it.
