“Tremendous News!” – Nicolas Maduro Touts Venezuelan Vaccine That Inhibits COVID
USSA News ^ | 10/27/2020 | Tyler Durden

Multiple COVID-19 vaccine trials are in the final stages around the world. But in one unlikely place, that being the collapsed state of Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro touted Sunday, in an appearance on state television, that his government scientists have developed a "highly effective antiviral" that kills the virus without any side effects.

Maduro tweeted: "Tremendous News! We certify the DR10 molecule as a highly effective antiviral in the fight against Covid-19."

He continued: "We have started the World Health Organization (WHO) certification process to offer this treatment to the world. I thank the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC) team for this great contribution to humanity."

At the IVIC, scientists have been working around the clock to develop a cure for the virus. Maduro said that the vaccine's active ingredient is a derivative of ursolic acid from a plant and will not harm humans.

Maduro said the vaccine would be transferred to the WHO for further evaluation and possible use worldwide.

"The molecule will be mass-produced and delivered worldwide for the cure of Covid-19," according to Maduro.

So the question we ask Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who famously expressed skepticism about Russia's COVID-19 vaccine in August: Is how he would feel about Maduro's wonder vaccine?

RE: Congratulations...if true!

There, you said the right phrase “if true”. The problem with Maduro is he has lied so many times, that it becomes difficult to believe anything he says.

Who outside Venezuela is going to prove the science?

The article says he is transferring the vaccine and all its data to WHO for further evaluation.

I think that’s the right approach. Nobody is going to trust him simply because he said so.

Communists. They steal whatever they claim they developed.

My “/S” was a cryptically brief way of commenting on how accurate Maduro’s prior pronunciations of the benefits of his social revolution have been in the past.

If he’s really got something, why that’s just great! But, I would be surprised.

Even under those circumstances, I wonder if the Russians developed it.

I have the feeling the Russians gave them the instructions on how to create their vaccine

Talk on another shut down..

How does anyone know the count is correct.. a week before election, they’d like a shut down..

How about letting people be their own health watch. For as long as I had kids, there would be the runny nose kid who gave colds to all.

When my kids got those colds, it turned into the croup or throat and ears.. usually a dr visit and meds..

This virus has scared a lot of people..some live scared all the time.
You can tell by their words.

I remember standing on the porch with my grandmother and a bad storm was 10 min from hitting. Grandma was watching the clouds and the wind like a tornado.

I asked her if she was scared. “Why..no.” so I wasn’t either.

Next day a friend was telling how they all were hunkered down in the cellar.. scared stiff.

And that is my virus reaction.. I dont trust any of them with their numbers.. if the highest gov office in this country would lie for 4 years to try to impeach our President.. everything is suspect.

“the science.”
Science is skepticism - a reported result must be repeated by people beside the author to be believed.

Skepticism is conservative.

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. — Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
Altho it’s easy to consider cynicism to be “extreme skepticism,” that is not a useful formulation because skepticism is uncertainty. Cynicism, OTOH, is (negative) certainty, and thus in a very real sense the two are opposites.

It may be administered quickly and is lead-based. The vaccination may have short-term impact but can easily reach LD-100% if injected in sensitive parts of the body. /s
