Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[The handsome tard]

I didn't even know this. You have no legal right to know which variant of COVID you caught because the sequencing is a secret.

You aren't legally allowed to know which variant gave you COVID-19 in the US, even if it's Delta

Sequencing tests, which pick up on variants, have be federally approved before their results can be disclosed to doctors or patients.

You aren't legally allowed to know which variant gave you COVID-19 in the US, even if it's Delta

• Most people with COVID-19 in the US are legally prevented from knowing which variant infected them.
• That's because sequencing tests have to be federally approved for results to be disclosed to doctors or patients, and most are not yet.
• Lab scientists say the process of validating the tests for approval is too costly and time-consuming.

Translation

We can declare you have Covid, we dont have to give you evidence of which variant because there might not even be a difference in the grand scheme.

That feels like all sort of illegal but is allowed to fly because we are dealing with big government and big pharma

Over here government buildings require muzzles, but local businesses usually still don't require them.

The end goal is neo-serfdom.

At least peasants had real taverns they could go to, instead of having hipster "ghost kitchens".

why do you think in a lot of places they shut down pubs for so long?

 

[ZMOT]

Is this thought to be happening with all vaccines or just the mRNA ones? As places like the UK seem to be going ok with opening up.

from may layman understanding the non-mrna ones work like the flu shot, if you get hit with a close enough strain it was built upon it's good, if it's something new it doesn't matter.

but as I said I might be entirely wrong.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

Remember guys like Mark Taylor of the Trump prophecies who said then Martial Law will come? It might coming but not the way we expected. The Department of Defense threatens with Court-Martial those who refuse to take the vaccine.

DoD THREATENS Service Members with COURT-MARTIAL for Refusing Vaccine

[The golden neckbeard]

can give some In Mincraft suggestions for users who live in Australia and other countries with similar lockdown rules

get some clothes and make fake mannequin or two
doesn't have to be a sophisticated looking mannequin and as long as it looks like a person at a far
then place them in public places
of course its a prank but will annoy and piss off officials
and of course be careful doing it

Stop playing around

Block roads. Shoot transformers. Become a problem.

If its as bad as the what i am seeing there is no option other than resisting.

Now that said, it might not be that bad and what im seeing is an exaggeration

the virgin clown world scamdemic

- the media has to constantly remind you the "pandemic" is ongoing
- everyone is quarantined
- everyone has to muzzle up
- endless house arrest and restrictions on all travel except for the elite
- real life is "cancelled" despite less victims than of the regular flu
- "society" breaks down (even further) into a cult of Science™
- the "cure" doesn't really work yet you're pretty much forced to take it
- no end in sight

the chad old timey pandemic

+ no media needed to know it exists
+ only the sick are quarantined
+ no "face masks" everywhere
+ borders may be closed to stop the spread of the plague
+ business as usual despite countless deaths
+ communities stay strong although they may think the world is ending
+ any cure actually works
+ it actually ends

British pubs always sound so appealing from all the books and bbc shows I’ve seen, the only thing I take issue with is they drink the beer warm.
If you can find a good old man bar in burger land I guess it’s the same comfiness but you guys look like you have it better.

Cuntface here has decided that only the special citizens get their freedoms. Thankfully there are a few people I know worried about this mostly because they're pro 'defund the police' but hey ill take it.

People in NSW who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be given more freedoms from 12:01am on Monday, September 13.

• For those who live outside the local government areas (LGAs) of concern, outdoor gatherings of up to five people (including children, all adults must be vaccinated) will be allowed in a person's LGA or within 5km from home
• For those who live in the LGAs of concern, households with all adults vaccinated will be able to gather outdoors for recreation (including picnics) within the existing rules (for one hour only, outside curfew hours and within 5km of home). This is in addition to the one hour allowed for exercise

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said those freedoms had been introduced to to help with people's mental health.

"[We] know people coming together is what people miss the most," she said.

"From the various options we looked at, that was the option that met the mental health needs and wellbeing of our community, but also provided the lowest-risk setting."

It's usually ale, not lager. American beer is served warm lest one mistake it for a urine sample.

 

[Kramer on the phone]

From what I can tell so far, her values are more left than Cuomo (but not like AOC or anything). However as far as I know, she doesn't have at least the family history of corruption; Andrew's father Mario was Governor of NY from 1983-1994. Hochul's parents were pretty solidly middle class.

Fun fact: this is the SECOND job she's gotten because of a resignation due to sexual harrassment. She won her House of Representatives seat in 2011 when Chris Lee resigned after he solicited a woman on Craig's List. Hochul then lost reelection in the primary and the man she lost too is still currently the House Rep of the district.

how desperate do you have to be to hook up on craigs list, thats literally where junkies and fat whores advertise.

anyone see the new concentration camp ads?

[DavidS877]

They claimed the survey was totally untraceable and anonymous, but I'm not stupid.

It's great how you can tell how anonymous the survey is when you don't take it and a couple days later you get an email reminding you to complete it and none of your coworkers who have completed it get the same email.

 

[Old Man Mario]

So, Covid is the new flu? Shots half year to full year and they shame you harder than when you didn't get the OG flu shot.

Do you think this will be an on again off again thing with lockdowns?

Do you have any links I can read more about the Poland situation? From what I see "cases" are very low as of now, it looks like Delta is not there, so what is the justification of these measures?

There's no justification. Its a powergrab. Balant and obvious.

Its all so called experts screeching about 4th waves and how gov should force people to do the "right" thing, for peoples own good ofc.

If you are interested the law is called ustawa 1449 (legislation 1449) but i am not sure how much would you find about it, particularly not in English.

J&J's off-label adventures with Risperdal. Over $10 billion and counting, in 2 separate sets of cases targeting the elderly and little kids. This shitshow has been ongoing for almost 2 decades now, and the Supreme Court just kicked them in the nuts again.

Side Effects Overview

Common side effects of Risperdal -- this list is incomplete as it largely is focused on kids. In the elderly and otherwise fragile, it can cause tardive dyskenesia (just like Thorazine) or death.

This one includes austistic kids and the elderly.

Elderly

Shenanigans all through the 90s into the early 2000s pushing Risperdal for off-label uses.

Bribery and corruption involving Risperdal in the USA and China, to the tune of billions in fines.

Nursing home kickbacks.

"Hostile outside, fragile inside."

Kids

Rollup of notable lawsuits

SciAm rundown of risks in autistic/ADHD kids -- this isn't complete, I recall endocrine/genital developmental disorders being linked in court docs when it was given to prepubescent kids but so far having no luck in digging up the old pre-2015 articles that mentioned those
