You know...because the group you vaccinate first is the one with NO ISSUES with it at all...

Or maybe you’ll vaccinate the intended target group AFTER all...

ACE2 receptors peak in expression in male testicles between the ages of 20 and 30yrs...you know, the age of most of your military...

I think China’s military is getting only vaccines that have shown safety.
Uighurs and others though: they’re just like tests in aninals to the CCP.

Read the article...

It has that info in there.

Why would you test any vaccine on your MILITARY FIRST?

Why not old people, or diabetics, or other ‘infirm’ people actually, you know, at RISK of this virus?

Unless our ideas of who is at RISK aren’t really the ones AT risk...

Unlike the US where the barflies and ‘all you can eat chips & salsa’ are enthusiastically advocating young people get the virus so things can go back to 2019...China is assiduously AVOIDING infecting their young people...

It’s almost as though China KNOWS this virus isn’t a ‘killer’ but was developed for something else. Something that 20-30 something males ARE at risk for...Hmm...

Don’t see any mention of Uighurs or any other non-Han group.

Nope.

Goal is to PROTECT the Han.

Especially 20-30something physically fit Han males...

The PCR Test for Covid is the worst test imaginable.

It will find small traces of the virus even after the body has eliminated all virus cells. The test will find shattered virus cells, destroyed by the body’s immune system, and multiply them into a positive result.

Hence, so many “asymptomatic” positives. These are not people who can spread the virus, these are people who had the virus and their body fought it off. They probably never knew they had the virus, it is long ago conquered in their body, but traces of the shattered virus DNA can still be found in their body and replicated into a complete virus genome, and a positive test result, by PCR.

These “asymptomatic” carriers of the virus are just fine. They are not sick because the virus is dead inside of them. They cannot spread the virus to you.

We need to find a better test, one that finds only active virus cells, not the remnants of dead virus DNA!

US media doesn’t allow Americans to know just how racist the CCP is.

It’s an RNA virus. Viruses don’t have cells, they must infect a cell and hijack the internal resources to replicate the RNA and make proteins and cleave proteins into functional units.

Right there is proof the holiday partiers are a large part of the spread. Humans are big whiny babies who have to have their parties with large groups instead of either not celebrating or celebrating within the immediate family. Have small fireworks in their own backyard or watch the large displays from the safety of their vehicles. I didn’t have to leave the house to see the neighbors’.

Sadly, so many towns still had parades, festivals and other events with crowds of people.

China found out those who previously had the SARs vaccine suffered the worse with CV. Not good.

This is a virus so will mutate. Any vaccine will be a crap shoot and a dismal failure just like the flu vaccine.

I certainly don’t want to be at the head of the line for any vaccine.

“Amount of SARS-2 exposure may determine whether or not you develop symptoms: On Diamond Princess people didn’t wear masks & only 18% of infected were asymptomatic (https://bit.ly/2CEoTOX) but on another ship where everyone was masked, the number was 81%”

““It’s just creating another major roadblock here in terms of PPE getting into the United States - it is the worst of times for it to happen but that’s what we’re dealing with right now,” said Michael Einhorn, president of Dealmed, a U.S. medical supply distributor, which sources disposable lab coats and other products from Wuhan and nearby regions.

“We cannot get product out for over a week, which is a very long time in our business,” he said, adding that the delays could last up to three weeks.”

(Why are we STILL not making our own PPE?)

So a couple of observations. It’s very likely we’re seeing the spread in Texas and Arizona due to proximity to the Mexican border. LA due to the riots. SC and FL due to being vacation destinations.

Also, the test results time is ridiculous due to the volume. How many get tired of waiting and get retested at another test site, thus being counted as 2 cases? Because that’s exactly what happened to my daughter and her boyfriend. They were initially tested at a CVS site and hadn’t received their results after 12 days, so they were advised to get tested again at a site hosted by her healthcare system. Both were positive. So is that 2 positive cases or 4?

In MS that would be one positive ‘case’. Someone specifically asked Dr. Dobbs that in some news conference.

The test results follow the person. That’s what’s meant by ‘case’. Multiple positives for that one person are still one ‘case’.

HTH.

And it’s a complete travesty that they didn’t get results faster than that.

Complete travesty.

In europe it takes less than a day. Sometimes way less, like an hr or two.
