Plus: There is considerable “Gain of Function” in the Wuhan Flu.
If much of Congress got the wuhuflu, would we get a “gain of function” out of them?
I'm sure it's not good.
Great - bring in a term to scare even more folks...
“Concerns over the potential dangers of gain-of-function research intensified in 2010, when researchers studied the transmission of the highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus, which has a case-fatality rate of 56%, according to WHO. On Oct. 17, 2014, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Department of Health and Human Services stopped funding and declared a voluntary moratorium on gain-of-function research on severe acute respiratory syndrome, Middle East respiratory syndrome, and all influenza viruses. Recently, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) awarded $1.1 million to Gryphon Scientific to assess gain-of-function research to help the NSABB determine which studies should return and whether this research should resume at all.
What Gain of Function data is actually out there for this virus? Please, no “predictive models” w/o actual data.
Kind of ironic - we know that the Deep State and others use fear as a way to steer and control the people - we had the commie/nuke war threat until the Berlin Wall came down then it wasn’t viable anymore and up pops Globull Warming, which has many in fear that we’re gonna destroy the Earth even as we do less harm than past generations and none of the data actually supports anything but the earth’s climate and Mother Nature do not now, and never did have a “balance” and even if they did, we have no idea of how to maintain one or ‘fix’ things...all our efforts end up causing more harm....the coronavirus scare is no different - the panic-induced knee-jerking will cause more harm than the virus.
Folks who would be up in arms if the government decided to tell them they could not move freely are now begging that same government to lock them, and everyone else, down....I’d wager if, after doing that, the story ‘evolved” they would also go meekly to barb-wire surrounded camps/tent cities because the “latest info” said that’s the only way to stop it.
Even though we know that they use fear to guide and control us, so many can’t see it through the red haze of insane panic....they not only welcome the government controls, they beg for them...
And the fear mongers will try to leverage it...
Reminds me of a saying, by Ben Franklin, that many FReepers, who are now acting insane, used to showcase:
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
