I'm switching my kindergartner to virtual until her brothers can vaccinate, so I need to tell her she's not going to get beloved school anymore. Can I get some external validation before I break her heart? Poor thing has been diligently doing her part to wear her mask even at recess

you’re doing the right thing. no one in power or popular media cares if you or your family die or are permanently disabled and you need to protect yourself and your family, because no one else will.

Lmao. Either they caught it from the outside from someone coughing on the streets, or the virus is undetectable during the infectious phase.

It's absolutely impossible that mass testing before a event doesn't work!

We have a few of those stories now. I wonder. Maybe one of the Omicron tricks is that it grows slower where we usually swab?

Well, covid's officially killed about 5.5M people in 2 years. The f35 is too expensive to risk using so pretty much limited to killing f35 pilots and runs about $150M/plane. Let's just assume every f35 gets to kill a pilot every 2 years.
Then f35: 1/150M = 6.666E-9 kills/$
Covid: 5.5M/$3.7M = 1.486 kills/$

Covid wins!

i feel like this is useful to them too. if she gets burned beyond their ability to ignore they can use "sexual deviant" as a way to distance themselves from her

this apparently isn't a madjackal situation. she was involved with the design of the vaccine or testing it or whatever, but i think she's in academia not actually working directly for moderna. the only things backing up her claims are some website that says they verified who she is so lol

Yeah from the phrasing I assume she doesn't work for moderna but consulted in some capacity (I think there is lots of this is pharma so it's not at all implausible).

This thread is very quick to assume that anyone who downplays covid is lying about their credentials or a sociopath or something, but there are lot of people (even those who should know better) who are just exhausted from covid and engaging in motivated reasoning or the attention they've gotten has gone to their head.

A 'mysterious disease' that has claimed 89 lives so far in Sudan has raised concerns as WHO deployed a rapid response task force in the country to investigate the disease. According to The New York Post, a fast-spreading 'unknown' illness was reported by the Health Ministry of Sudan in the northern town of Fangak, in the Jonglei state. Local scientists haven't been able to identify the disease.

The region where the 'mysterious disease' is said to have originated was recently hit by floods. Local health officials in Fangak noted the samples tested taken for testing from the area to help identify the disease came back negative for Cholera. The WHO has raised alarm on a possible 'outbreak' of the said 'mysterious disease.'
