I don't care if this gets me suspended or banned. They shall do so because I speak the truth. They shall do so because they can not control that they themselves are inhabited by the demonic sins of our forefathers within their own genetic and cultural transmission.

The fact is Americans hate Asians. They used them for slave labor for nearly 50 years. They banned them from immigrating to the United States for nearly a hundred. They use them as jokes. They desexualized their men in mass media. They used them as the target of economic fear in the 80s and 90s. They prepretrated a million man hours of pain, suffering, misery, destitution, prostitution and every other kind of crimes against humanity you could imagine. They have been the butt of jokes. The targets of hate crimes. They have been killed, murdered, raped, enslaved, tortured, time and time again. Their nations have been invaded. Their people have been forced to convert. Every single evil thing that could be uttered from the mouth of mankind, angel or demon or satan himself has been inflicted upon them by the west.

Now a virus came from their shores and shut down the whole world. This is just retribution. Like the 10 plagues of Egypt. The world has escaped honestly, quite unharmed compared to the tolls that the asian population has had to suffer. If all their suffering were held up, all their death collected, and released upon the western world as a bomb, there would be not one human in America that did not know the pain of loss nor one happy man alive on earth. The death toll would be beyond 100 million.

Naturally the reaction of that deep-seated slavery, rape, murder, assasinations, control, discrimination and evil passed on by our forefathers through both cultural transmission but also our very genes; has generated a deep inevitable racial response of hatred and blame that is being levied against China and all of Asia by the white men who control everything that is the massive capitalist machine that threatens to wipe out our very civilization.

The truth does not matter. The only thing that matters is race, capitalism and "freedumb". And Asians and their oposition to capitalism, their embrace of collectivism are other and anathema to White America.

Their is zero evidence that COVID escaped from a lab just like there is zero evidence that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.

The white men will still use these conspiracy theories to enflict their racial hatred and their demonic activities on the entire planet in the form of war. They will kill others and they will kill their own children to stave their racial blood lust.

Woe to humanity. Woe.

Good news Imperial Japan, you're off the hook

It's bad enough that departments with no expertise in pandemics are releasing reports on COVID, it's inexcusable that they're being kept classified so they can't be peer reviewed in public while being used to support whatever conspiracy people want them to.

The Dept of Energy is actually in charge of 17 national laboratories including Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Livermore, Fermi and the NVBL and sponsors research at hundreds of universities through the nation.

More significantly they're also in charge of weapons development and testing, which includes bioweapons, so yeah I'd say they're probably pretty good at lab security when it comes to infectious agents.

OK but their focus is not on public health or disease outbreaks. It doesn't seem surprising that they concluded the issues were with the possibility they did have experience with, lab security, but the responsible thing to do would be to defer to the NIH, which also has experience in virology, epidemiology and public health.

One problem with this argument is that the experts on virology are exactly the people who have the most reasons to be biased against stricter limits on virology research. (Not saying this proves a lab leak.)

That argument goes both ways. NIH seems less likely to be affected by that conflict of interest since it is so closely associated with the biomedical research community so it can expect any reports to be closely scrutinized by academics. The DOE has potential conflicts of interest related to their responsibilities for national security and weapons development so they don't have to try to be as transparent and impartial.

I'm the inverse (but same results), where I've been getting Moderna all this time and a couple days ago I switched it up and got Pfizer. Absolutely zero reaction from the Pfizer while previously I'd have chills and a fever for exactly 1 day after.

The Moderna dose is much higher than the Pfizer dose (100 μg versus 30 μg)

Moderna�s elicits a stronger immune response and might be better at preventing breakthrough infections.

Are we still calling it breakthrough infections? in 2023? We've known the vaccines don't prevent infection past a few months for a while now.

Yes since there's a substantial difference between the severe form of covid and the minor form that vaccinated people can get.

Huh? That doesn't make any sense at all.

It was called a breakthrough infection back in 2020/2021 because it was assumed by many that the vaccines protected against infection. Later it turned out they didn't fully protect against infection, for a while they did but after a couple of months that protection waned and you would get mild disease instead. (like how most vaccines work). But the "breakthrough" moniker stuck, and it got a negative connotation even, suggesting that the vaccines weren't doing their jobs. (In reality they were, and still are!)

Relating it to severity of infection like you're doing is like rewriting history.

Cool so what would you call it when someone gets vaccinated and still get serious illness from COVID-19
