I’m sure Fauci is all over that to get some and dig it out for ‘study.’

More fear porn. The human immune system has the means to deal with just about every microbe that EVER there was on this planet, the only one that has never been adequately addressed by the immune system is the stupidity virus.

And that virus is easily contracted by a goodly percentage of the “Powers That Be”, who make the constructs that are supposed to govern us all.

Globull warming, the gift that keeps on giving. I’m sure those scientists will need tons of funding to save us from those thousands of potentially dangerous bacterial species. In reality all that’s needed is a shot of penicillin. Those bacteria have been isolated for hundreds of thousands of years and have no antibiotic resistance. Nice scam attempt though.

AP announces sweeping climate journalism initiative

Feb. 15, 2022

The Associated Press announced today it will significantly expand its climate coverage, creating a standalone desk that will enhance the global understanding of climate change and its impact across the world.

The initiative will infuse the global media landscape with a new stream of quality climate journalism through both AP content and in-depth training and collaboration directly with AP’s thousands of customers worldwide.

The news agency will also launch an AP StoryShare network for climate coverage, allowing news organizations to share their content with one another and in turn provide more robust coverage for their audiences.

The expansion is supported by several philanthropic organizations, including the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Quadrivium and The Rockefeller Foundation. AP retains complete editorial control of all content.

“Unbiased, fact-based journalism has never been more important or imperiled,” said Larry Kramer, president of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. “The Associated Press has, for over a century, played a crucial role reporting on the most pressing issues of our time, including climate change. The climate initiative will build on AP’s legacy of independent journalism and help millions better understand the impact of the climate crisis and counter climate-related misinformation.”

Yup. Fauci will find a way to stuff them into syringes and new “vax” mandates will be decreed.

Isn’t “The Blob” supposed to be trapped in Antartic ice?

The town of Phoenixville, PA just outside of Philadelphia, was the location for the 1958 movie, "The Blob." This past weekend, they held their annual 3 day "Blob Fest." As far as I know, there were no mutant viruses released during the festivities.

This is the most ludicrous sort of fear porn agitprop. Glaciers are constantly calving ice into lakes or the oceans as icebergs because they flow like rivers, just far more slowly. Glaciers calve icebergs even when they are growing.

You can’t skin the herd until you panic them.

“Could”. Or might not.

Got to keep the panic porn, which constitutes today’s “news”, going.

I’m not the least bit scared of this. They’re just drumming up fear. Melt it all. Let the chips fall where they may.

But then, at 68 years old I haven’t had health insurance for almost 10 years because I put my faith in the Great healer. He created this and said it was good. That’s still how I see it.

Microbes have been there all along, washing down from glaciers to the rivers of India and China, doing no harm at all. But never before seen because nobody looked for them. Now having been discovered, idiot pseudo scientists act like they just appeared yesterday, poised to wreak havoc on humanity.

Sort of like teenagers who think the world was created the day they were born.
Such is the sorry state of science contaminated by “climate change” ideology.

“Never-before-seen microbes locked in glacier ice could spark a wave of new pandemics if released”.
Key word here is “could”. Or not.....
