Wuhan Coronavirus / COVID-19 Thread 2: Booster Shot - Resume all Corona sperging here.

Remember how the CDC had to hire Walensky as the director specifically so that public trust can be restored in the CDC?

Well, the past few months have not been kind to her, as the public image of the company has not improved over the past few months. The gripes were in regards to the contradictory advice (mask vs no mask vs mask sometimes but not in other places) and the slowness in making sure tests were widely available. To remedy this, the CDC is carrying out a month-long independent audit starting April 11.

I doubt anything will change. The CDC is now admitting that the vaccine does cause heart issues - a stance which was known at least a year ago but dismissed as misinformation and an anti-vax conspiracy theory. Accountability will still be out the window, and I don't think there will be recommendations for getting a CDC watchdog to prevent further data mishandling.
The CDC has lost all trust in anybody who has been paying attention and lost most of the trust of everyone else who hasn't due to contradictory guidelines and not taking covid-19 as serious as the covidians do. Or rather not as serious as they did when Trump was in office.

The boy who cried wolf is a morality lesson we teach to kids for a reason.
 
I'm sorry I put on a bit of weight during the lockdowns. A ton of people did. Probably you too


Good, Facemasks save lives (why I've not caught covid too!)
Lockdowns have been over for a year, as you keep pointing out. If you've not started bothering to lose it then you never will.

Alcohol contains loads of empty calories. You should get help for your drink problem. An Irish/Scottish mutt with a drink issue is a gigantic fucking cliche by the way. How pathetically trite.

I didn't gain weight. I lost. A lot. Being stripped of the right to work and earn and living on poverty does that. And being poor is no excuse to pack on the pounds either.

Obesity is what takes coof from a nothing to potentially deadly. Because being fat is inherently unhealthy. It is fundamentally hypocritical of you, a fattie, demanding others protect you by being vaccinated when you are a risk to NHS staff and their backs.

Until you are a healthy weight and not an alcoholic you should shut the fuck up and focus on sorting your shit out. Your flailing on Twitter and trying to get asspats on there because it's not working as you intended on here is hilarious.

Asspats?........come on. That's a term I grew tired of. I don't look for that
 
Fauci regarding jabs for infants/kids under 5:
View attachment 3150837
After a long hibernation, Fauci emerges. If he sees his shadow, it's 6 more months of Covid hysteria.

That [the FDA and the CDC] get the data and look at the data ... so that we know that they're safe .... There appears to be no safety signal that would get anyone worried,,,"
No safety signal thus far. The track record of ensuring safety and examining data by both organizations has been in the shitter for some time. In addition to the various cover-ups both agencies have been doing in an effort to promote the vaccine, most effects from taking experimental drugs/vaccines are not known until years or decades afterwards.

Plus, there is basically no benefit for children to be taking the vaccine. Children have a near-zero risk of dying from Covid anyway, and their symptoms seem to be much milder than adults (probably because the immune system hasn't had to deal with many infections before and doesn't go into overdrive trying to kill the virus).

This point is not emphasized near enough. These cretins ought to remember the first principles of being a medic "First, do no harm." They teach you this so you realise that sometimes medical intervention is worse than no intervention at all.

The potential benefits to children are close to "nothing". So why chance ANY potential risks whatsoever, known or unknown? Why bother even testing a novel treatment in the first place for a demographic that doesn't stand to gain anything? Even a 1 in 100000 adverse event is too many for a group of people that won't benefit.

Oh please, you might be fooling yourself, I hear alcoholics are malleable and retarded, so it's possible. You have an entire thread on here about how you're an attention seeking, genital flashing little goblin.

I'd tell you to fuck off and get a girlfriend or get laid, but not even Glaswegian heifers will touch you, and Police Scotland have cracked down on prostitution but that's ruled that one out, not that you could afford to pay anyone for sex.

They're discussing axing the daily "cases" (ie, positive, but as we all know, highly flawed tests) here. You're going to lose your tiny little alcohol-sodden mind when they do that, aren't you?

Gawd, imagine being in fucking Glasgow and not being able to score a ride. That must hurt. No wonder you're so into the jailbait and fanart of very young looking girls.
 

The COVID-19 pandemic sparked an online “infodemic” of potentially dangerous misinformation. We use machine learning to quantify COVID-19 content from opponents of establishment health guidance, in particular vaccination. We quantify this content in two different ways: number of topics and evolution of keywords. We find that, even in the early stages of the pandemic, the anti-vaccination community had the infrastructure to more effectively garner support than their pro-vaccination counterparts by exhibiting a broader array of discussion topics. This provided an advantage in terms of attracting new users seeking COVID-19 guidance online. We also find that our machine learning framework can pick up on the adaptive nature of discussions within the anti-vaccination community, tracking distrust of authorities, opposition to lockdown orders, and an interest in early vaccine trials. Our approach is scalable and hence tackles the urgent problem facing social media platforms of having to analyze huge volumes of online health misinformation. With vaccine booster shots being approved and vaccination rates stagnating, such an automated approach is key in understanding how to combat the misinformation that slows the eradication of the pandemic.

This is the technocracy at work. We no longer live in a society of equals engaging in reasoned debate. Scientists expend considerable effort and computational resources to decipher public narratives in the hopes of surreptitiously injecting counter-narratives without having to actually engage with people. This is Anti-Enlightenment paternalism at work. It is literally the slow decline from individual rationality back to the era of the clergy and the laity.
 
The people shitting their pants and crying about covid are the ones who saw working from home coming to an end and really want a reason to not go to work.

Get back in your cube faggots
Or the ones in shitty, dispensable, useless jobs with crappy pay, who want to go back to doing fucking nothing for their minimum wage pennies to spend on dollies and crap.

There is a growing anti-censorship crowd that realizes the jannies are a bigger threat than even their enemies. Part of the push to make everything political is to overwhelm the censorship and force most topics off mainstream websites. Even the dumbest uncaring people notice when their topic of choice is replaced with generic carebear tripe and go looking for the actual discussion.

The next step I expect is the pro censorship crowd to attempt to infiltrate and spam alternative locations where discussions on taboo topics are allowed. The problem is they are doing it slowly enough for people to adapt to their tactics. Their biggest mistake was assuming once they banned a topic from reddit and facebook that discussion would stop entirely.

That's the thing with grassroots movements. It tends to start from some small bullshit but it grows bigger and bigger the more you try to silence it or worse, eliminate it. Also, its common knowledge that discord is cursed.

And considering how censored as fuck most Big Tech search engines are, people are learning how to use alternative sources to find what they want. Kind of like the old days of the Wild West internet where you have to jump from spam porn site to spam porn site until you somehow run into that one good hentai website where everything is there. And that is how the transition from normie starts.

What I worry about though is how Asian countries seem to be doubling down on masking and pandemic measures. Malaysia the other day declared Covid endemic but still requires masks both indoors and outdoors, along with Thailand and the Philippines (They have the added bullshit bonus of mandatory face shields on top of masks).
Flipland is a damned mess. And its no surprise the oligarchs down there want to flex their tyrannical muscles more down there. Such is the fate of 3rd world nations.

Though if you have to go down there, I'm certain the really poor sections aren't complying very well for obvious reasons.

This is what's fuelled a lot of Kiwi Farms' growth over the past few years - hell I signed up after lurking for a few months because you can get (ironically) much better dialogue and discussion here than many other sites. The previous Covid megathread for example was a significant help for finding information both on the virus itself and on vaccine exemptions. I never would've gotten through avoiding Fauci's ouchie if posters here didn't point me in the direction of key information.

More on topic there's some further indication pharma's permanent boosting program dream is dead in the water. Seems quite a few African and SE Asian countries aren't open to buying more shots, and if you cannot get the entire world on board good luck doing so in the west:

Get ready for another wave of COVID fearmongering as Big Pharma tries to push a second (then a third, then a fourth...) booster dose as demand wanes (even as scientists warn about a new hybrid mutant strain).
Moderna shares are tumbling on Tuesday after two of the world's most critical supranational bodies representing low- and middle-income countries have decided not to purchase hundreds of millions of additional doses of the company's vaccine as a result of waning demand.

The African Union and Covax, the Bill Gates and WHO-backed group dedicated to spreading (low cost) vaccines across the world, made the decision to pass on buying more jabs (while the US rolls out a second booster for older patients) as developing nations struggle to find enough customers eager to be inoculated.
Of course, it's not just demand that's keeping vaccination numbers low: According to Bloomberg, developing nations have struggled to turn supplies into inoculations. Lower-income countries left behind in the global rollout are now grappling with a lack of funds, hesitancy, supply-chain obstacles and other factors that are hampering distribution.

But outside of China and Hong Kong, COVID cases, deaths and hospitalizations have waned dramatically. This in turn has undermined demand.
What's more, after more than a year of getting the short end of the stick from Western vaccine makers, developing nations have become resentful, as more consumers take the view that, if they have made it this far without the jabs, then they certainly don't need them now.
"The vaccine landscape has changed drastically in recent months," said Safura Abdool Karim, a public-health lawyer and researcher in Johannesburg who’s focused on equity in the pandemic. "We went from really needing vaccines super urgently to now having them."
While the African Union agreed to purchase 50 million doses during Q1, the organization opted not to acquire another 60 million doses in the second quarter.
Covax, meanwhile, opted not to buy 166 million doses for delivery in Q3, and also turned down another alternative for 166 million doses in Q4. Although a spokesperson for the organization said talks for another round of purchases have continued to drag on.
Africa has the world's lowest immunization rate, with only 15% of the continent’s population counted as fully vaccinated. That's compared with a global average of 57%, the WHO said last month. Only about 400 million of the more than 700 million doses Africa has received have been administered, leaving hundreds of millions of doses to rot on the shelves.

Unfortunately, many simply don't even consider jumping out of the MSM pool. With those stuck in Reddit who ends up regurgitating the talking points of the establishment. And based of Bezmenov's lecture, it will take something that hurts them to make them reconsider and usually its too late. The silver lining however is that it filters those who at least try to maintain self-independence and the Vaxxcattle. And the funny thing about the entire thing, back when the Wu-Flu was kicking off, the MSM and their subsidiaries silenced everything that they themselves are now pushing. All because the elites deciding to make lemonade out of this once they realized there is no real danger.

In fact, part of the reason why many in the west are skeptical about the pandemic and the vaxx is due to the shady shit the system is doing. Japan doesn't really have that problem because they could at least trust their rulers.

The thing is that Null and the mods are more hands-off unless you're really shitting up the board. It's because they're so apolitical that people are free to discuss anything and everything, and that controversial opinions can be stated with little repercussions. It is also why the people who participated in the thread were ahead of the curve in disseminating information and speculating on abrupt changes in advice (eg: the CDC warning against taking baby aspirin to prevent blood clots or reduce the risk of a heart attack, even though ibuprofen has had decades worth of research backing it up), to advocating for alternative treatments such as HCQ or Ivermectin.

Nope, vaccines work. Get vaccinated and stop listening to the likes of Fox News and Paul Joseph Watson and Glenn Beck

HCQ and Ivermectin do not work
