Latest news is that the Chinese Plague is mutating and there is NO guarantee that Vaccines will protect people from it.
More and more people are coming to believe that Covid-19 was tweaked by Chinese Molecular Biologists in their Wuhan Laboratory then let out onto the unsuspecting public.
What is very, very, surprising is that the Chinese isolated the infection site from the rest of the Country and as we know, they built Hospitals in 10 days and funnily enough they had ALL the materials to hand to complete the constructions.
The Plague seems to have favoured Joe Bidet enormously, he sat out the electioneering in his basement and let his minions do the donkey work, the Chinese are as inscrutable as a cigar store Indian and are unlikely ever to tell the truth about whether they arranged covid or not.

As viruses develop forming new variants - as they always do - They start out as deadly as they will ever be and then with each new variant its infectiousness increases while its virulence decreases. It is in the virus’s interest to infect more people but not to kill them because a virus depends on the host for food and for shelter. Simple co-evolution. But in these post truth times, all you will be told is that it is more, much more infectious - and you should be very afraid. |

A prominent Demcrat Politician did what all Demcrats are prone to do, she jumped the queue to get her jab, she is 30 years old by the way and would normally have to wait her turn but no, these Demcrats reckon they are better than the rest of us so they blithely do what they want. The ratio of deaths in the USA is four blacks to one white person, I wonder if the Chinks tweaked the virus to do this ?

Simply because mRNA has never been tried in a vaccine application before. It is a complete unknown and now - thanks to the pandemic scare - it has completely by-passed normal animal testing and evaluation. Straight to the human. |
