Pandemic Lessons Learned: Scientific Debate Silenced, With Deadly Consequences
The Epoch Times - Commentary ^ | February 5, 2022 | Joe Wang

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines science as “knowledge about or study of the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation.” So science is human knowledge of facts, which has nothing to do with human intention or politics.

Yet Mao Zedong said in 1940 that “Natural science is one of man’s weapons in his fight for freedom.” In Mao’s China, science became a tool for the communist leader and his comrades to conquer the world and achieve their “freedom.”

For my purposes here, I will call fact-based science Objective Science and Mao’s totalitarian science Subjective Science.

My Sister Didn’t Have to Die

I lost two brothers to infectious diseases, and one sister to famine.

I am the ninth and the youngest child in my family, and I was named Jiu (meaning “ninth” in Chinese). But three of my siblings died very young. Two boys died from unknown infectious diseases days after they were born, and a girl, Zhen, died from malnutrition during the Great Famine in 1960 when she was only 3 years old.

Life was tough growing up during China’s Culture Revolution, to put it mildly. However, life was also very beautiful, as I enjoyed the love of my parents and my siblings. I thought it was so unfair that my two brothers did not make it. As for Zhen, it was unfortunate, but the Great Famine was a natural disaster, as we were told by the government. There was nothing anyone could have done about it.

I did not want the tragic death of my brothers to ever happen to another defenseless child, so I devoted my scientific career to vaccine development. Thanks to the well-tested, safe, and effective vaccines that have been developed, we see far fewer children die from infectious diseases today than 70 years ago.

All part of the plan of Bathhouse Barry to fundamentally transform our country into a Marxist dictatorship.

It was an Agenda 21 power grab pure and simple aided by the Communist Chinese.

Science is a branch of philosophy that seeks to validate subjective observation through experimentation. That’s all there is to it.

It should happen.

Trials and executions.

Dr. Fauci has displaced Dr. Mengele as the world’s deadliest doctor.

I know better than to engage narcissistic trolls who have high self-esteem for no apparent reason.

The power that is in charge of funding these scientists and researches were told to follow the line or be defunded

More reasons why children don’t need to be vaccinated!:

Indirect protection of children from SARS-CoV-2 infection through parental vaccination

SCIENCE • 27 Jan 2022 • First Release • DOI: 10.1126/science.abm3087

Children unvaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 may still benefit through protection from vaccinated contacts. We estimated the protection provided to children through parental vaccination with the BNT162b2 vaccine.

We studied households without prior infection, consisting of two parents and unvaccinated children, estimating the effect of parental vaccination on the risk of infection for unvaccinated children.

We studied two periods separately– an early period (January 17, 2021 - March 28, 2021, Alpha variant, two doses vs. no vaccination) and a late period (July 11, 2021 - September 30, 2021, Delta variant, booster dose vs. two-vaccine doses).

We found that having a single vaccinated parent was associated with a 26.0% and 20.8% decreased risk, and having two vaccinated parents was associated with a 71.7% and 58.1% decreased risk, in the early and late periods, respectively.

To conclude, parental vaccination confers substantial protection for unvaccinated children in the household.

Too bad we never study the positive impact of Acquired Immunity from Parents/Family Members and Peers!

The left never learns anything good.
