[null and void]

...and not approved until big pharma pursued it.

Still not fully approved, only being used under a EUA (EMERGENCY Use Authorization). APPROVED drugs and vaccines do not need an EUA for use.

AND, if that's not enough, the Big Pharma companies wouldn't release them even under a EUA Unless and until they were insulated from any lawsuits growing from any injuries or fatalities they caused.

Put that in your smoke and pipe it!

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.

The false positive rate was 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...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Free everyone else.

CNBC Bill Gates explains the work his foundation is doing to combat coronavirus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjgbMib36do

start at 2:45 in this clip (youtube) were he admits that that flu vaccine isn't directly so effective in older people (young people who get it cut down on the spread which benefits older people).

(3:15)
GATES: You know, if we have, you know, one in 10,000 side effects, that's, you know, way more— 700,000—you know, people who will suffer from that. So really understanding the safety at gigantic scale across all age ranges—you know, pregnant, male, female, undernourished, existing comorbidities—it's very, very hard. And that actual decision of, “OK, let's go and give this vaccine to the entire world,” ah, governments will have to be involved because there will be some risk and indemnification needed before that can be decided on.

That's called indemnification.
Understand that there have not been any animals tested in the development of these vaccines.
We are the the testing animals !
