Thanks for the 2nd-hand ping. Here's a Laurel.....and Hardy handshake.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) quietly updated its federal COVID-19 guidelines to recommend treating the virus similarly to the flu, vindicating years of dissident opinion and undermining the original justification for drastically upending Americans’ lives in its name.
Declaring that COVID is “no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses,” the new guidance says COVID’s threat is now “more similar to that of other common respiratory viruses,” justifying the agency’s decision to issue a general “Respiratory Virus Guidance, rather than additional virus-specific guidance.” It admits that “states and countries that have already shortened recommended isolation times have not seen increased hospitalizations or deaths related to COVID-19.”
Thanks for ping and greater explanation.
This is what happens when media becomes political players instead of reporters.
Ya think! 🙄

Show me where the FTC said that the COVID vaccine was gene therapy. mRNA can be used for gene therapy (modifying DNA) but the COVID vaccines do not modify your DNA so they are not gene therapy.
ransomnote: “EEGator did not assert there was a vaccine that was 100% effective in preventing illness, so why did you try to refute him with the counter statement?”
EEGator implied that anything not 100% effective could not be a vaccine when he stated that the vaccines did not prevent illness. Of course there are breakthrough infections where the Covid vaccine failed to prevent an illness but it is misinformation to assert that such infections prove something isn’t a vaccine. Smallpox vaccines have breakthrough too.
It’s not clear who* surfaced that old YouTube video of Kary Mullis, but it has been ripped so far out of context that it makes an interesting case study of how propaganda can be so effective.
Mullis was defending Peter Deusberg, a Cal. Berkley biologist from outlandish attacks from his colleagues over Deusberg’s contrarian hypothesis that HIV had not been shown to be the cause of AIDS, and that environmental and behavioral factors could account for the syndrome. Deusberg pointed out that the HIV could be a mere “hitchhiker”, not the causal agent. Of course, merely by pointing that out, he crossed the powerful political, economic, and bureaucratic forces that found the HIV=AIDS hypothesis to be both politically convenient and profitable.
That cancellation of Deusberg really got under Mullis’ skin, who rightly pointed out that while the PCR that Mullis had discovered could certainly identify the presence of a given organism, that did not, and could not, prove that organism was the primary or only cause of a disease, and that in any case the proper response to an inconvenient hypothesis was to challenge the idea, not the man. Since Anthony Fauci (along with David Baltimore) were particularly nasty with their ad-hominems (and defenestration) of Deusberg, they drew Mullis’ ire, and subsequent withering contempt.
Fast forward, and the CCP bioweapon is either released or escapes, and that thirty year old takedown of Anthony Fauci gets turned into the (admittedly hilariously absurd) claim that PCR can’t detect the Wuhan coronavirus.
Cui Bono? Who benefits from the confusion? Well, there might be several, but for sure the people who created it, the CCP and the very same Anthony Fauci who Kary Mullis skewered all those years ago.
*Turn over that rock and you’ll probably find CCP affiliates tho

You're STILL lying. EEGator did not 'impy anything not 100% effective could not be a vaccine." He stated that the medical/Pharma regime LIED. Get that? They lied to the world.
EEGator wrote: “Originally it was stated that it would prevent one from becoming ill. It was a blatant lie and you know it.”
Fauci and the CDC told us to get the vax to stop the pandemic even though the FDA filings for PFizer and Moderna state that the 'vaccines' were not tested for the product's ability to stop transmission of the disease.
18 Reasons I Won’t Be Getting a COVID Vaccine
May 13, 2021 Christian Elliot
Excerpt regarding 'data gaps' in the vaccine trials specified in the FDA filings:
- No data on transmission of COVID.
- No data on preventing mortality from COVID.
- No data on duration of protection from COVID.
"In case you think I’m making this up, or want to see the actual documents sent to the FDA by Pfizer and Moderna for their Emergency Use Authorization, you can check out this, or this respectively. The data gaps can be found starting with page 46 and 48 respectively." ~ Christian Eliot
ransomnote: I read those FDA filings. The medical dictatorship had no proof that the vaccines reduced transmission of Covid but Fauci/CDC/Biden etc. all stood up and told us we had to have the vax to protect us from becoming ill and spreading the disease. That treasonous lie was repeated constantly 'Get the vax and stop the spread.'
As soon as EEGator pointed to this devastating betrayal and fraud, you changed the subject to become the definition of a 'vaccine' instead. Naturally, because the CDC changed the definition of 'vaccine' when it became obvious the Covid 'vaccine' didn't work and you work hand ain glove to support the CDC's talking points. You people are still lying.

You're a shill. No one turns to you to find out who is and is not 'fake news'.
The Expose has been fantastic for those seeking information censored elsewhere. For example, they put a static link up on their page for those vaxxinated to use to find out 'How Bad Was My Batch?' Patients can type in their lot number and find out if the number of adverse events reported for that lot number; this information is unavailable anywhere else.
Your rationalwiki is typical troll disinfo.
China Flu, or to be more precise, The Wuhan Flu

I posted about the FTC filing about 2 years ago - just look through my profile and find it. The FTC stated that the Covid 'vaccines' were actually gene therapy - take the issue up with them.

Question: what do you mean by vaccine didn’t work? Does that mean the vaccines have to prevent infections in all cases, 100% effective?

The Expose is a fantastic place for those seeking fabricated information to support their pre-conceived conspiracy theories.
Rhoda Wilson is their chief fabricator.

Criticizes name calling while calling names four times. Typical demonstration of name calling to obscure the fact that he has no credible response.
Naah, it’s to keep reminding everyone you’re just a troll.

Still spinning your lies, I see. Still trying to deflect from the obvious. You are about the only one left in the world who needs someone to explain to him the difference between what the CDC/NIH/PHarmas told the public versus what they knew to be a) true and b) opposite what they told us. Go find one of the billions of people who are interested in explaining it to you.

You can't counter what I've written; you're now down to this one stupid distortion that you have to repeat over and over to try to sound 'authoritative.' You are cornered because you simply couldn't address or refute anything else - and this line you're parroting is a 'last stand' attempt at distortion. Go play your 'parrot games' elsewhere; I am just not interested.
