Pentagon denied that the report exists, of course, but later on, there was proof of a call that our former president made to Netanyahu (of Israel) that China has a "big problem" with an outbreak. Then there were his recorded confessions via Bob Woodward...

I don't have a problem with Fauci, but a bad taste has been left in my mouth with the way the NIH and CDC handled the dissemination of information, especially mask usage and whether the virus was airborne (it was but they played semantics for a year). It seems like most of their motivation for holding information back was to avoid panic, but imo I don't think that was the right way to go.

This is why I can't necessarily fault the OP for his view/action. The way the media and government is working this is... in the least... questionable...

And, of course, now all eyes are on China. Something we were told was very, very unlikely...

Nonetheless, we did get the vaccine...

The discussion of variants hasn't stopped. It's vibrant and urgent.


https://www.hindustantimes.com/citie...01622791336090.

Delhi’s rapid surge of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) cases in April is linked to the Delta (Delhi, India, I think) variant of concern B1.617.2 overtaking the earlier predominantly found Alpha variant B1.117, shows a yet-to-be peer-reviewed paper from the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB).

Based on data from India and the UK, the researchers from IGIB estimate that the Delta variant is as much as 50% more transmissible than the Alpha variant, which is also manifold more transmissible that the wild-type Sars-Cov-2.

The researchers also found that the breakthrough infections – Covid-19 after immunisation (in this case with the Astra Zeneca vaccine or the Bharat Biotech Covaxin) – were disproportionately because of the Delta variant. They are yet to determine whether the variant also leads to increased case fatality ratio – proportion of deaths among positive cases.

Italics are my additions.

Anyone who thinks that COVID was released as a form of population control isn't paying attention to the history of plagues and other pandemics in the world. While it may have resulted in short term drops in population, the trend was ALWAYS towards technology driven (I'm including farming) population growth at an exponential rate.

In the States, dear. In the States. Specifically Huff Po, Komo, CNN, Fox, etc..

Once upon a time, about 2-3 months ago, it was a central article on all these news sites as well as talk radio, like Kiro news.

Now? Not so much...

And that's why technology would be used to create COVID to alter the population (either population control or inhibit travel and commerce.. or whatever reason people want to come up with)

That is not "from the BMJ". It is a speculative letter to the BMJ.
