Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

How much more of this nonsense are people going to take before they stand up and say ‘enough’?

Probably not much more. A year or two at absolute most is my guess.

Part of the problem is that the places with the most people who would have, already backed off restrictions.

Fox News was just reporting on a Doctor out of South Africa reporting his cases that were positive for Omicron were quite mild.

Perhaps this is the virus we hoped for - spreads fast, but doesn't do much and essentially reduces COVID to the level of a cold or lower.

We night actually get some good news out of all this.

If it gets people wound up and tells the government by gunpoint to knock this shit off, then yes. But even if this is just the cold now, the government will do everything to continue to take more power. They'll just make some fake ass news pieces about how this covid varient is super aids plus turbo edition. They'll get caught and issue a retraction. But they'll use that first report as justification to take more power.

He says that they releases Covid on purpose to make an infinite demand for vaccines and rake in infinite cash.

Yes, medicine as a subscription service, it's been mentioned here before. Now the question is whether you can cancel you're subscription anytime and be fine (healthwise, not the vaccine passport shit), or if you've fucked your immunsystem up beyond repair and actually need the booster now?

Whatever the case may be, I think that's the one thing we can all agree on: money for big pharma. What's in it for the government? Control with little to no pushback. Truly a match made in hell.

Still there's an important distinction to make: while Pfizer, Biontech and Moderna make billions in profit, AstraZeneca and Johnson made their vaccine non-profit (but that's about to change soon).

Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna making $1,000 profit every second: analysis

Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna are making combined profits of $65,000 every minute from their highly successful COVID-19 vaccines while the world's poorest countries remain largely unvaccinated, according to a new analysis.

The companies have sold the vast majority of their doses to rich countries, leaving low-income nations in the lurch, said the People's Vaccine Alliance (PVA), a coalition campaigning for wider access to COVID vaccines, which based its calculations on the firms' own earning reports.

The Alliance estimates that the trio will make pre-tax profits of $34 billion this year between them, which works out to over $1,000 a second, $65,000 a minute or $93.5 million a day.

"It is obscene that just a few companies are making millions of dollars in profit every single hour, while just two percent of people in low-income countries have been fully vaccinated against coronavirus," Maaza Seyoum of the African Alliance and People's Vaccine Alliance Africa said.

"Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna have used their monopolies to prioritise the most profitable contracts with the richest governments, leaving low-income countries out in the cold."

Pfizer and BioNTech have delivered less than one percent of their total supplies to low-income countries while Moderna has delivered just 0.2 percent, the PVA said.

Currently, 98 percent of people in low-income countries have not been fully vaccinated.

The three companies' actions are in contrast to AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, which provided their vaccines on a not-for-profit basis, though both have announced they foresee ending this arrangement in future as the pandemic winds down.

PVA said that despite receiving public funding of more than $8 billion, Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna have refused calls to transfer vaccine technology to producers in low- and middle-income countries via the World Health Organization, "a move that could increase global supply, drive down prices and save millions of lives."

"In Moderna's case, this is despite explicit pressure from the White House and requests from the WHO that the company collaborate in and help accelerate its plan to replicate the Moderna vaccine for wider production at its mRNA hub in South Africa," the group said.

While Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has dismissed technology transfer as "dangerous nonsense," the WHO's decision to grant emergency use approval to the Indian-developed Covaxin earlier this month proves that developing countries have the capacity and expertise, PVA added.

PVA, whose 80 members include the African Alliance, Global Justice Now, Oxfam, and UNAIDS, is calling for pharmaceutical corporations to immediately suspend intellectual property rights for COVID vaccines by agreeing to a proposed waiver of World Trade Organisation's TRIPS agreement.

More than 100 nations, including the United States, back that move, but it is being blocked by rich countries including the UK and Germany.

So, of course AstraZeneca had to be shat on, banning it in countries, then changing the recommendation to only 60+ years - can't let another vaccine cut into Pfizers profits.



Another tidbit from Germany: a few days ago Jens Spahn, our health minister, announced that there's not enough of the Pfizer vaccine available and people should consider the Moderna vaccine, which is just as wonderful. Create artificial scarcity, if people didn't care what vaccine they got they sure do now. Or he got a bribe from Moderna and he's just a terrible salesman, that's possible, too, I guess.

Does she have an N95 mask?

Does she wear gloves?

No and yes. The hilarity is the tv disaster porn pimps have convinced her to wear a mask as an article of faith. Not as a functional item. She uses these cheap tissue paper masks that do nothing for anything. And she doesn't even wear them properly. It's completely performative and ritualistic.

Reminds me of my time visiting my sister in LA. Went to dinner outside, as they had closed indoor dining, and we had people put their purchases in their car from the grocery store with gloves on then walk over to sit nearby. They proceeded to eat the edemame and tempura with their dirty gloves on.

Their are ways to degoff PPE in a way that does not endanger oneself but I suppose she probably has her phone in her gloved hand thereby transferring any fomites.

I know nobody gives a shit but here is my livejournal update - I was poisoned on the 13th. Muscles in my arm are still sore. I have been having sharp headaches, periods where I feel nauseous, and feelings of faintness. I have been thinking of going to see the GP but I know it's pointless.

There has been a fair bit of vaxx hate lately. I can understand hating the masses because their sheer idiocy is what is going to kill us all. I can't get behind hating someone because they have been poisoned though. Many of us didn't have a choice, it's easy to say that we always have a choice, but in reality you often don't.

I never wanted to be jabbed, and I am incredibly angry, but I can't say that I regret it because even if I could go back in time to the day the mandate was announced I have no idea how I could have done things differently yet. It was the most stressful month of my life and also the quickest. I now have the same situation, a month at most to come up with a way to get out of the second jab.

Fuck you Jacinda.

Oh did your compliance not lead you to salvation? Sad.

I had a choice, it involved moving outside my home city and finding a new job. It was hard, expensive, and mentally exhausting. But I retained my self respect and bodily autonomy and that was worth every challenge that came my way.

You don't think your overreacting a little bit?

Really? A power grab by the government? I think there are a wild number of countries where I could point out horrific powers held by their governments. Russia and China just simply make people vanish - they don't even ask for a public apology. You can do pretty much anything the fuck you want in the USA compared to just about anywhere in world.

But I understand if being asked to wear a mask and a suggestion that getting a vaccine is simply terrifying to you. You should have sympathy for our poor kids who have horrible parents that from the age of 1 onwards take them to get jabs they have no choice about it. What a horrific place we live in indeed.

Alas it is a terrifying country we live in. Yes, the government is all too powerful.

"I understand hating dumb people, and I can see how their stupidity hurts society, but I was tricked! I'm a smart person, and I was tricked!"

I can't get behind hating someone because they have been poisoned though.

"Yeah but I'm not one of the stupid masses though, I was held down and ... puh ... puh ... puh ... puh ... poisoned! *sob!*

Many of us didn't have a choice, it's easy to say that we always have a choice, but in reality you often don't.

Did you choose where to get your shot? Did you choose what date to set the appointment? On the day of, did you choose to drive there and wait in line for it? Did someone put a gun to your head and make you, or was it a series of choices you made? This is like blaming corporations for being obese. Yeah they have blame, but they're not putting a gun to your head and telling you to raise the fork to your lips and clean your plate. Anyway those are an awful lot of choices you made for someone who "didn't have a choice."

I never wanted to be jabbed, and I am incredibly angry, but I can't say that I regret it because even if I could go back in time to the day the mandate was announced I have no idea how I could have done things differently yet.

So you're incredibly angry, and if given the opportunity to go back in time and resist, you're not sure you would? You should be angry at yourself, then angry at the politicians and big pharma who gaslit and lied to you. Don't come in whining at purebloods for rightly thinking less of you.

It was the most stressful month of my life and also the quickest.

"But I was super stressed guys! It's not my fault I made a bunch of decisions! Don't think I'm stupid or weak please!"

I now have the same situation, a month at most to come up with a way to get out of the second jab.

Oh wow, they continued to not respect your bodily integrity? Even after you complied? What a shock.

Fuck you Jacinda.

Enjoy your jab-induced stroke and myocarditis. You poisoned yourself.

Listen here buddy, 18 and Life and I remember you are both certified gold power ballads.

I still put those two on the “third times a charm wedding” playlist when I DJ.

Off topic of course, but Skid Row had a total of 3.5 good songs, and Sebastian Bach is an unsufferable lolcow.

Alright, now back to the Omicron discussion, gentlemen. . .

“Slave to the Grind” a pretty solid sleaze rock album.

How much more of this nonsense are people going to take before they stand up and say ‘enough’?

Part of the problem is that the places with the most people who would have, already backed off restrictions.

Last weekend I was at one of the largest college foozbawl stadiums here in the colonies. No showing of the Vaxx papers. No mask theatre. No negative vaxx test results required. This was at an SEC stadium for a team that hasn’t been great for a long time so it wasn’t 100K+ in attendance but a solid 75K and we saw maybe three masks.

Funnily enough, the only mention of the Chyna Virus was the “please don’t kill yourself because you have no reason to live now” mental health commercials that are all becoming the rage before kickoff. These people were done with this bullshit pre-crackup at the race riots when it became obvious Covid wasn’t the Ebola AIDS we were promised. Gave me some hope that normalcy will stick around for those of #blessed to live in non-cucced out states that still allow actual freedom.

The most terrifying knowledge you can offer normies in 2021 is that you are free. You have absolute free choice. You are responsible for all your choices, that's the horrible truth. You could have been a disowned homeless man, you chose to be a test subject.

Absolute degenerate field nigger house sambo mentality on display.

If daddy is fingerbanging your pussy and making it bleed every Sunday when mom goes to visit grandma the correct response is to make it stop as soon as possible, instead of hoping he'll never escalate beyond the weekly fingerbang and certainly not inhaling a heroic dose of copium about how at least it's only on Sunday and at least you're not getting your asshole fisted like Suzie from down the street does. And hey at least you and Suzie aren't locked up in a nuclear fallout shelter getting bred by daddy for over two decades so there's really no reason for anyone to complain or be worried.

Except if you weren't a child or demoralized sambo you would realize that Fritzl didn't start his abuse by locking his daughter in the Dungeon from Hell and Austria didn't start off mandating muh vaccine and sweeping clothing stores on the hunt for purebloods.

Sounds like it's your first shot, so here's a casual reminder that you still need to get the next two. You're not classed as vaccinated until that happens. And you better hurry up before Omicron comes around and all of your previous vaccine shots were for nothing.

(And you can't bitch out at the first shot, either. Feel free to scan the thread's highlights if you want to see how "adverse reaction to the first jab" goes in terms of convincing anyone that you're not a racist anti-vaxxer just because you didn't get the rest of the jabs.)
