Michael Specter: Why don’t we blow the system up? I mean obviously, we can’t just turn off the spigot on the system. We have and then say, hey everyone in the world should get this new vaccine that we haven’t given to anyone yet. But there must be some way that we grow vaccines mostly in eggs the way we did in 1947.
Fauci: In order to make the transition from getting out of the tried-and-true egg growing which we know gives us results that can be beneficial, I mean we’ve done well with that. There must be something that has to be much better. You have to prove that this works and then you’ve got to go through all of the clinical trials: phase 1, phase 2, phase 3, and then show that this particular product is going to be good over a period of years. That alone, if it works perfectly, it’s going to take a decade.
Bright: There might be a need or even an urgent call for an entity of excitement out there that’s completely disruptive, that’s not beholden to bureaucratic strings and processes.
Fauci: So we really do have a problem of how the world perceives influenza and it’s going to be very difficult to change that unless you do it from within and save.. I don’t care what your perception is, we’re going to address the problem in a disruptive and in an iterative way because she does need both.
Bright: But it is not too crazy to think that an outbreak of novel avian virus could occur in China somewhere. We could get the RNA sequence from that.. to a number of regional centers if not local, if not even in your home at some point, and print those vaccines on a patch of self-administer.

ReplyDeleteBased on the scientific evidence alone, an unbiased jury would be convinced that SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus escaped after being created in a laboratory using accelerated evolution (a k a gain of function) and gene splicing on the backbone of a bat coronavirus. Using standard statistical methods, we can quantify the likelihood of the lab-leak hypothesis compared with that of zoonosis. The odds enormously favor a lab leak, far more significantly than the 99% confidence usually required for a revolutionary scientific discovery.
Science: No breakthrough studies have been published [refuting or supporting the lab leak theory]. The highly anticipated U.S. intelligence review, delivered to Biden on 24 August, reached no firm conclusions, but leaned toward the theory that the virus has a natural origin.
ReplyDelete^^Approves of QoH's "Verdict first, trial later" policies^^
ReplyDeleteWho's going on trial?
ReplyDeleteAlice, of course.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt? What did she do?
ReplyDeleteShe committed the greatest crime possible in modern liberalism. Harassment.
ReplyDeleteSlavoj Zizek, "The Liberal Utopia, Section II: The Market Mechanism for the Race of Devils"
As every close observer of the deadlocks of Political Correctness knows, the separation of legal Justice from moral Goodness - which should be relativized-historicized - ends up in a stifling oppressive moralism full of resentment. Without any "organic" social substance grounding the standards of what Orwell approvingly referred to as "common decency" (all such standards are dismissed as subordinating individual freedom to proto-Fascist organic social forms), the minimalist program of laws which should just prevent individuals to encroach upon each other (to annoy or "harass" each other) reverts into an explosion of legal and moral rules, into an endless process of legalization/moralization called "the fight against all forms of discrimination." If there are no shared mores that are allowed to influence the law, only the fact of "harassing" other subjects, who - in the absence of such mores - will decide what counts as "harassment"?
Who if not the very "progressive" liberal being annoyed... of course!
I doubt she would care. My aunt Alice is a republican. I think she voted for Dotard.
ReplyDeleteThen she liked being charged?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know she wasn't charged with anything. You don't know her. I say you lied.
ReplyDeleteHere's the video. Was it faked?
ReplyDeleteMy aunt Alice isn't in the video you link to. I never said there are people who don't like Joe Biden. A lot of idiots voted for Dotard. Was this video faked?
ReplyDeleteYou were the one insisting that you were related, not me.
ReplyDeleteDid I ever claim that the Trump video was faked?
ReplyDelete(1) I didn't. You were the one who referred to an Alice. I only know one person named Alice. (2) I never said the video in which gay guys chant about how they want to have sex with Joe Biden was faked.
ReplyDelete(1) Only one person is allowed to be named "Alice" at a time? Who knew?
ReplyDeleteThat must be another one of your "Rules of the Dervishly Addled."
(2) Gay guys want to have sex with Joe Biden? LOL!
(1) No. I never said that. (2) That's the chant.
ReplyDelete(1) Then what are you saying?
ReplyDelete(2) Where, in you Aunt Alice's house? Is she a Tranny Granny?
You're the one who referred to an "Alice" with no last name.
ReplyDelete...and you're the one that put a last name to it.
ReplyDeleteI never gave you a last name.
ReplyDelete...and yet you put one to it in your mind.
ReplyDeleteNo.
