Washington Post told us this is a ‘conspiracy theory’ (meaning, it’s probably true!):

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

I predict we’ll find out right after the FIB gets to the bottom of the LV high rise shootings.

that really is a plausible theory

but I am going with man made bioweapon...their reaction to this is traumatic and way above anything we have seen before. Of course, the COmmies are also probably using it as an excuse to round up dissidents.

RE: Chinese scientists believe the deadly coronavirus may have started life in a research facility just 300 yards from the Wuhan fish market.

When they mention “Chinese Scientists” They might as well replace these words with “Anonymous Sources”.

We can’t interview them, we don’t know their names, we don’t know whether or not they are really scientist or conspiracy theorists.

How do we know that this story is even true? How different is this from the “anonymous sources” of CNN,WaPo and NY Times?

its an other attempt to get a grasp on reality

...

If people read the article maybe.

90% don’t make it past the headline which is a distortion of reality.

I read that it was not unusual for low-level workers to steal the lab bats and sell them to the wildlife market. So that’s something to consider.

...

Could be.

There’s going to be a lot of pressure on China to close their wildlife markets which they did after SARS, but then they let them reopen.

For a long time China has been the world leader in diseases transmitted from animals, many of which were major epidemics.

This is why I will never vote for any politician on any level who believes abortion is ever justified. If you think there is any problem that justifies the intentional killing of an innocent baby, then there is nothing you will not be able to justify, should you think it is in your personal best interest.

Penicillin was discovered on a cantaloupe in a market.

I didn't know that. I thought it was an accidental invader into an agar dish culture of something else, possibly airborne.

I agree with you. I think 50 years of Roe v Wade and 60 million innocents slaughtered has desensitized the nation to the value of human life. That led to “first person shooter” games, to school shootings (slaughter of little defenseless lambs) and other mass shootings.

The article gives names.

They are official Bejing scientists.

It might as well be a direct pronouncement from the Chicom government.

It only happened with high level Chicom government approval.

That’s a good point. If you’ll murder a baby, is there no evil to which you (meaning the pro-aborts) won ‘t stoop?

It’s a good basic litmus test for the level of humanity or demon possession. Demons (and those who serve Satan) want to increase the level of suffering in the world to please Lucifer, whom they believe to be the true god of this world. Read last year about abortion facilities being common places for Satanic ritual sacrifice. They birth the babies, then murder them, as part of a ceremony.

You are both correct. Fleming discovered the effect of penicillin in a contaminated culture. But he didn’t follow up. Years later, a technician with Flory and Chain at Oxford, I think, brought in a moldy cantaloupe, which mold turned out to produce a lot more of the bactericidal component, making it technically feasible to use in medicine.
