There are confirmed DNA analysis that Covid has HIV fragments. You can search that. Vast majority of this info from medical communities have been actively surpress to the point any researchers mentioning it will be "censored". I recalled both India and Thailand researchers made those discoveries early last year. But all mainstream media very strangely suppress it.
The idea of the paper is that they look for parts in one f the proteins of covid-19 that are not in other covirus they already know. Then they searched for these new parts in the proteins of other virus, and one of this parts "is" in HIV.
The first problem is that the fragment is too short. So there is a huge chance to find it somewhere just by luck. It's like if I edit may comment and add the word "revenge", and then someone claims I copied that word from a famous book that uses it.
The second problem, is that they didn't find exact matches, the examples they got are very short but have gasp in the middle. It's much easier to find a coincidence. It's like if I edit may comment and add the word "revenue", and then someone claims I copied that word from a famous book that uses "revenge" instead.
The correct strategy is not to conquer but to cull. From time to time, US should just send military in to render to site as vast land of death and pity-ness say under a week. Repeat this periodically over 50 years. No forces on earth would be able to sustain that even if Russian and Chinese combine forces. Sharp and devastating destruction played over years is extremely effective and much affordable than the current Afghan and Iraq 2 decades of debacles.
Pro-vaxxer will not answer your original question. The fact is it is not incredibly effective now as Pfizer and Moderna effectiveness have drop to 70%+ and 40%+ respectively from their earlier 95%. 60% are hospitalize that means it is severe that warrant hospitalization. If it is incredibly effective, "hospitalization" for vaccinated should be under a few percentage point. Take a look at historical smallpox and polio vaccination. Now that is incredible effective. Vast majority of pro-vaxxer aren't aware of old stats, while predominantly getting over excited by media outlet or their less informed doctors acquintances. To be fair, those vaccines originally targeting earlier variant of Covid. Now you have Delta, likely Delta+ and Lambda or some more deadlier version of variants, the vaccine can only go down in effectiveness in coming 6mths. In fact, you should be hearing people getting those vaccines died due to immunity waning in coming 6mths. Expect booster shots and annual jabs just like flu shots.
“Pro-vaxxed” aka people who believe in science and social responsibility.
Also, the effectiveness is lower against variants like delta, and does naturally decrease over time. If we had higher vaccination rates, the spread of covid would be significantly reduced, and variants wouldn’t be such a large problem.
Also also, MRNA vaccines — EVEN AT 70% — far outperform existing vaccines like the one for seasonal influenza.
Also also also, where the hell are you getting 40% for moderna’s VE? I’d love to see a citation.
Oh, regarding “old stats” like the effectiveness of the smallpox vaccine: Surprise! No controlled studies on its effectiveness. Surprise! It has significantly more risk (both in terms of the danger of the adverse side effects and their incidence).
Now that duct tape is not allowed, choking is a valid option. Blame it on the airline for exposing the unruly kids to worse off option of restraining. We are post 9-11. There are children in some conflict-torn regions that kill and rape more than the worse serial killers in America.
Two can play the sabotage game. The downfall of western-backed Afghan government is mostly due to the backing of regional countries for Taleban. Now that the table has flip, you can be sure CIA will be doing the same. Not everyone that hates the western countries there are Taleban. Remember there is a saying that muslim tribalism hates among themselves more than anything else. Expect terrorism to spread into China now that they getting involve. The whole debacle could really be setting up for downfall of the middle kingdom. Good for USA not to touch that cursed land. Feel pity for the fools that blinded by that cursed mines.
At current stage, covid vaccines are mainly to reduce severity of infections with significant reduction in mortality. It doesn't really reduce spread of infections. Research has shown vaccinated individuals at least the same amount of load as unvacccinated. The general sayings of herd immunity with vaccinations can protect those unable to get vaccines don't apply for this situation. In fact, it will pretty much condemn those who don't get vaccinated when vast majority have been vaccinated and actively spread the infections.
They not just lost a few hundred Ks of users, they lost a huge chunk of evangelist. And worst than that, turning into anti-evangelist. I am that and so do many of my colleagues. I believe this is a trend though not many people willing to mention it. So seeing firefox dropped significant market share since 2017-ish to some reflect what we anti-evangelist are doing "unconsciously". This is what happen when the company decide to go with some smart-alec UI/UX designers that didn't do much market feedback but trusting their own instinct. Probably Jonny Ives wanna be.
If you read finish, he basically proved to host it outside USA or any 5eyes. Hacking is way more difficult than pushing a button. This is why FBI insist a backdoor key for phone manufacturers.
If we're not on the same page about why it's harder to crack the encrypted filesystem of a locked recent-model iPhone than it is to hack into an always-on database-backed SMTP email service, there's little point in us debating this further.
Exchange to conventional money like USD and Yen. These can be made illegal. USA has precedent for doing this with gold when it threaten their money supply creation ability. If there is no legal ways to convert all these digital coins to fiat currencies, their value will collapse to niche market valuation. It won't disappear completely, just enough to make it small like say total market valuations for baseball or pokemon card collections. Bitcoin technology depends on 1 fundamental flaw that is exponentially increasing demand on energy to hash. Essentially it is inflation of "energy money" to "digital money" for hashing "nothing". The demand is not triggered from population itself but the #1 increasing tech capability, and #2 algorithm itself that double the difficulties of hashing rate. Think of demand of toilet paper, that people need to buy not because they need it but the toilet consume more at a doubling rate whether you poop or not. And then itself become valuable when your neighbor willing to change it for fiat currencies. The moment government make it illegals, the value drop. Black market will exist but then law enforcers specializing to catch "digital exchange criminals" will be established.
