Coronavirus pandemic 2019-20 #3

It dragged it's feet on Sputnik V, it allowed some multi-million gatherings on the streets, the exact thing that led to the Coronovirus crisis in Spain this time last year.

And evidently it hadn't import-substituted crucial supplies or at least come up with some contingencies.

Russia is now in serious trouble though, it's just a matter of time until the ultra-contagious 3rd wave hits, and our vaccinated population is still only about 8-9% of the total.

It's enough to take a look at the current worrying infection rates and death figures in Turkey - which has about the same vaccination rate as Russia does (albeit not necessarily with the most effective vaccines )

Hungary meanwhile has x4 Russia's vaccination rate, but even so has a lot of infections each day and huge death figures.

In retrospect, jumping the gun on Spuntik V announcement, Putin not taking the vaccine immediately and underreporting COVID deaths have turned out to be bad moves.
They've enabled a false sense of security and undermined trust in the vaccine.

The youth maybe, but everyone else - I don't think Russians are sufficiently bilingual to be that susceptible to western messaging.

Vaccines have been readily available for months so with some exceptions any death that occurs from now on is the sole responsibility of person who got infected and nobody else's​

Population which is getting sick now is much younger than before which means that idiots will be getting removed from the population before they get the chance to procreate and pollute the gene pool with ther inferior DNA

If you need someone to convince you to do something as simple as taking a life saving vaccine then your life is worthless and redundant and the best thing you can do is to cease to exist, more worthy specimens will take the place you had unjustly occupied all this time

Its the exact opposite. As usual its the people with the strong genetic profile that would survive - the ones who don't need a vaccine to reinforce their immune systems against a gay version of the cold. A vaccine can only do so much for your inferior genetics and with luck or by design might even remove you from the gene pool anyway.

He is a British Indian not an Indian. Most Indians living in the U.K are descendants of slaves.
When the second wave was at its peak in the U.K why did the U.K government force India to re open flight routes between the two countries knowing fully well that the U.K variant is even more deadly? Now to cover up their crime the U.K government is suggesting that the second wave in India has been triggered by a so called "Indian variant".

Covid variant B.1.617, nicknamed “double mutant,” was first detected in UK in February. India detected this variant in March, reporting it to GISAID Initiative.

So, how did it become the "Indian variant"?

The states worst affected Delhi, Maharashtra are not states where such gatherings took place. Just that the density of population in India is a lot more than Russia, so the virus spreads rapidly.

No.

Human is a highly social species and they have been developed enough to be less and less reliant on their innate biological traits. The success or failure of a certain person depends heavily on his social status, wealth, and relationship. Not their DNA.

The DNA of Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos or other billionaires is not better than you or me, and not correspond to their wealth. Not to mention that their success is definitely not base on a fair game at all.

Please stop propagating the racist idea of the Nazi that your ancestors fought so hard to drive them off.

If it is just one or several individuals then it may be safe to blame the personal fault. But when the ratio is significant then there is something more worrisome. If you dig the case deep enough you will see in many circumstance it is the system's fault for the shortcomings of its own people.

The huge spread of Covid-19 in the West is the crime of the capitalism when they put profit over people, and create an extremely disproportionate system, both in healthcare and education and information, where a few rich enjoy too much at the expense of the majority, and any attempt to inform the people could be mercilessly purged if that go against the profit of the 1% top.

And the young people are the working people, the manpower that every country is relied on to make money. Illnesses and deaths in the young people means severe damage to the workforce and the economy in the long term. The longer and broader the pandemic is, the damage becomes more severe. That is why the West had a economic slump while countries like China enjoyed a recover after the initial lockdown.

Its the exact opposite. As usual its the people with the strong genetic profile that would survive - the ones who don't need a vaccine to reinforce their immune systems against a gay version of the cold. A vaccine can only do so much for your inferior genetics and with luck or by design might even remove you from the gene pool anyway.

Strength means nothing when it comes to disease... what does strong genetic profile even mean... is it a pure bred person with little genetic diversity, or is it a mongrel with all sorts of bits of genes from all over the place?

Europeans have lived together like animals for centuries and they natural immunity to european diseases is robust, but tropical diseases knock them over pretty damn easy and vice versa... european diseases killed a lot of people around the world because they had never encountered them before and had no immunity at all.

This is a super contagious version of a cold... so contagious that the normal flu has all but disappeared because everyone is washing their hands and keeping away from other people and people with minor flu symptoms are seeing their doctor instead of ignoring it and trying to work through it.

What PD says has merit... anti vaxxers keep saying all these terrible things about what happens if you get vaccinated... lets see what they think of the virus.

What people think of this virus has been stated many times in this thread, go a couple of pages back if you are really interested

This study was recently quoted by the WHO on its website. 0.15 IFR. Literally the flu, but with 24/7 media attention, fear mongering and scary graphs, images and music on top of it

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33768536/

Strength means nothing when it comes to disease...

The rest of your post is straight up weird, with tons of half truths, misplaced assumptions, flawed logic and the usual anti-European butthurt.

The part above made me cringe the most though.

It just means European. The presence of non-European ancestry in your genetics is enough to significantly improve your chances of getting hospitalized after catching the coof.

You've got some stats, studies and numbers on that?

People in Africa are doing just fine.

Any discrepancies in rates in the Western world can be easily explained by looking at obesity rates, lifestyle choices, lack of vitamins D exposure (related to low sun intensity/high melamine count) and the prevalence of kidney diseases, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases

A point was made upthread about vaccines being support for genetically inferior immune systems. That is not valid. For example some
people are naturally immune to HIV (AIDS) because they lack the protein structure that the virus uses to bind to T4 cells. Their immune
system has nothing to do with their immunity. Everyone else who gets it is screwed and only thanks to massive intervention with a brew
of drugs can they live long enough not to be killed off by common pathogens found in every human. There is now some possibility for
a vaccine:

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/latest-on-coronavirus-outbreak/russia-has-made-prototypes-of-hiv-vaccine-official/2062200

The other detail is that Covid-19 and similar are new virus variants in the human population and start out having more virulence until
a new equilibrium is reached with the population with initial culls. Humanity is lucky that Covid-19 is a glorified flu and not the Black Death
so we are not seeing 1/3 dying. A vaccine is not given to people who have already had a disease and lived, even it can act as a booster
for their immune system in the sense of producing new variants of antibodies to attack different parts of the virus shell. No human immune
system generates vast numbers of distinct antibodies to attack every part of a virus, the feedback mechanism selects the initial successful
antibody which is generated en masse. Vaccines have utility by training the immune system without infecting the body. The robustness
of the immune system is not relevant.

No human genetic blend is universally able to overcome every species of virus. The concept behind a vaccine is clearly correct and
necessary unless death is the preferred option.

The median age in Africa is something like 20 years younger at least. The abysmal state of transportation (Africa's huge) also doesn't leave much room for populations to mingle their germs. There's also the possibility of underreporting going on.

Hmm, I see. kvs can you recommend me some books on the subject? It seems I have to do some more reading on this topic.
And apologies for everyone who have been subject to my brand of misinformation

These findings do not rule out my statements above.

I guess you've never been to Africa because this represention is a polar opposite of what the continent actually looks like.

Extremely high population density, low hygienic standards amongst the general population and yes, they do have modes of transportion other then their own feet. Some of the worst traffic can be found in places like Nairobi or Lagos

@kvs

COVID1984 vaccines are nor vaccines in the original sense of the word.

They are gene therapeutics using the very same principle of 'feeding' our cell's ribosomes the mRNA strand which starts the protein biosynthesis of producing the spike-protein antigen to which the immune system ultimately responds.

Both manipulate our own cells into producing what should actually be the 'vaccine' (the spike-protein antigens). That is a very dangerous effect (however ingenious in theory) all the rogue scientists warn us about. Potentially leading to auto immune diseases, antibody dependent enhancement etc.


Aside from that I don't need nor want vaccines for a disease with a 0.15 IFR. I'll take my chances thank you very much.

Some shady stuff found in the Pfizer brew bytheway

https://scivisionpub.com/pdfs/covid19-rna-based-vaccines-and-the-risk-of-prion-disease-1503.pdf

https://www.globalresearch.ca/report-pfizer-vaccine-confirmed-cause-neurodegenerative-diseases-study/5743522

From the article

Methods Pfizer’s RNA based vaccine against COVID-19 was evaluated for the potential to convert TDP-43 and or FUS to their prion based Microbiol Infect Dis, 2021 Volume 5 | Issue 1 | 2 of 3 disease causing states. The vaccine RNA was analyzed for the presence of sequences that can activate TDP-43 and FUS. The interaction of the transcribed spike protein with its target was analyzed to determine if this action could also activate TDP-43 and FUS. Results Analysis of the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19 identified two potential risk factors for inducing prion disease is humans. The RNA sequence in the vaccine [3] contains sequences believed to induce TDP-43 and FUS to aggregate in their prion based conformation leading to the development of common neurodegerative diseases. In particular it has been shown that RNA sequences GGUA [4], UG UG rich sequences [5], UG tandem repeats [6], and G Quadruplex sequences [7], have increased affinity to bind TDP-43 and or FUS and may cause TDP-43 or FUS to take their pathologic configurations in the cytoplasm. In the current analysis a total of sixteen UG tandem repeats (ΨGΨG) were identified and additional UG (ΨG) rich sequences were identified. Two GGΨA sequences were found. G Quadruplex sequences are possibly present but sophisticated computer programs are needed to verify these. The spike protein encoded by the vaccine binds angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), an enzyme which contains zinc molecules [8]. The binding of spike protein to ACE2 has the potential to release the zinc molecule, an ion that causes TDP-43 to assume its pathologic prion transformation [9].

@elconquistador

You are preaching to the choir. AstraZeneca is a relatively conservative vaccine and similar to the adenovirus vector type as with Sputnik V.
Pfizer is GMO rubbish. We covered this subject previously.

When Tucker Carlson said it was ridiculous to tell vaccinated people they had
to wear masks in these settings he was attacked as an anti-science murderer. Why is

NEW: The CDC is updating its guidance on masks, saying that fully vaccinated people
can be unmasked when exercising, socializing and dining outdoors in small groups. Can
gather indoors with other fully vaccinated people without masks or distancing.

The part above made me cringe the most though.

What, that strength has nothing to do with disease?

Are you trying to say I could go to the Gym and work out 5 hours every day to become strong and that will somehow make me resistant to malaria or polio?

What people think of this virus has been stated many times in this thread, go a couple of pages back if you are really interested

Different people are effected differently and the concept of strength is meaningless in this regard... the million people this virus has killed world wide haven't posted anything on this forum... should I ignore their views?

It just means European. The presence of non-European ancestry in your genetics is enough to significantly improve your chances of getting hospitalized after catching the coof.

Well that is just plain wrong too because plenty of europeans are dead because of this disease... it seems to be more about age than about skin colour.

People in Africa are doing just fine.

People in India and central and south america are not... I rather suspect your opinion is skewed by the fact that most western media don't care about the rest of the world leading to their problems being under reported.

Any discrepancies in rates in the Western world can be easily explained by looking at obesity rates, lifestyle choices, lack of vitamins D exposure (related to low sun intensity/high melamine count) and the prevalence of kidney diseases, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases

Would be the majority in many places in the west.

No human genetic blend is universally able to overcome every species of virus. The concept behind a vaccine is clearly correct and

Agreed... as I pointed out many european diseases most europeans are immune to, and those diseases are dangerous to those who have never encountered them before from other groups, but there are plenty of diseases out there that europeans are vulnerable to too.

The median age in Africa is something like 20 years younger at least. The abysmal state of transportation (Africa's huge) also doesn't leave much room for populations to mingle their germs. There's also the possibility of underreporting going on.

Part of the reason there are so many dead Americans is their mobility and international travel points... not to mention more older people and obesity and diabetes etc etc...

Just because you are vaccinated does not mean you can't be a carrier of the virus... the most dangerous people are those that have no symptoms when they have the virus because they wont get checked out and will spread the disease without realising it to people who will be effected by it.

pfizer serious side effects noticed on some people , doctors confirm problems of serious sides effects
with pfizer vaccine ,pfizer company then downplay it and blame people for it. Testimony recorded.
and this is one of those rare american local media ,that don't hide or ignore the problems with
anglo western vaccines.

That is obvious and not the issue in this case. The clowns running the show do not understand the science and have other agendas they are pimping.

A sensible post...

That the Pfizer company wants to reduce the world population for the 1% or illuminati, I do not believe, but that they will hide problems with their product so it keeps selling well rather than properly investigating the problems and perhaps modifying the vaccine or changing the parameters of who should be getting it, is the real problem and a more sensible area of discussion.
