Covid-19

[YankeePride1967]

Omicron appears just as severe as Delta, and COVID jacks up your sperm.

Also in feces. They can predict how bad it will be in 1-2 weeks by testing the sewers near train stations. Not a job I would want

BRAZIL UPDATE

Back in August, I think I predicted that low vaccine hesitancy would allow the Brazilians to surpass US Covid performance once vaccine supply down there became adequate, probably by Christmas.Well, how about this?

Brazil has a long history of successful campaigns against nasty tropical diseases,, including the recent campaign against the Zika virus. The people are fully in favor of it. It remains to be seen what Omicron will do, but it makes me happy to see how well they are doing considering the early s-storm.

Kudos to them! That's great!

Dr. Birx knew. She knew and, instead of speaking out, she hid. Criminal.

That's...ugh.

If she's a criminal that would make Fauci one too, wouldn't it? Birx forwarded Fauci a copy of this e-mail, in fact.

Some good news coming out of Walter Reed this morning:

Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that is effective against COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide.

The achievement is the result of almost two years of work on the virus. The Army lab received its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020. Very early on, Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch decided to focus on making a vaccine that would work against not just the existing strain but all of its potential variants as well.

Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 of human trials, which tested the vaccine against Omicron and the other variants, wrapped up this month, again with positive results that are undergoing final review, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch, said in an exclusive interview with Defense One. The new vaccine will still need to undergo phase 2 and phase 3 trials.

What is criminal? She expressed her expert opinion to her superiors who ignored her recommendations.

That is promising news indeed.

No

Everything there is things Fauci was saying publicly, which is why Birx got that position in the first place. To allow Trump to spew lies without someone refuting it in real time.

She was willing to give cover to the WH. You don't find that reprehensible?

That's fantastic. I wonder who would make it.

I think maybe she didn't mean criminal in the legal sense, but against humanity. As in, she should have blown the whistle rather than keep quiet. I agree.

The is a giant gap between reprehensible and criminal.

Yes, but I thought y'all would understand that I was using hyperbole.

Yes, but I thought y'all would understand that I was using hyperbole.

Hyperbole? On an internet message board? Surely you jest?
