    I never had a COVID shot and have no adverse effects
    Never had a cold in my life, seem to have anti-bodies against it and some other things too,
    like TBC, tested positive with an arm scratch test in primary school, got xrays 2 or 3 times,
    nothing found, Now I am almost 80 ...

    Recently was reading that they found a link between COVID shots and long-term COVID.
    Many have died from blood cloth from the COVID shots.
    Many sporters got heart trouble, some died on the playing field.

    Its the evil US its Biological Warfare Department designed COVID (Faulty or something was the bad guys name),
    and the US Medical Industrial Complex cashed in on their un-tested medicine, hiding info about how dangerous those vaccines were.
    I knew enough when in an UK test on the hospital staff 2 got sick from 10, and one died later from it.
    Hopefully US precedent byethen dies and goes to hell (because of him supporting irael's genocide),
    because if he goes to heaven it will be all wars there.
    Clearly his COVID shots did not improve his memory or ethics,

    Yes gut biome is important.
    Am careful, I do not eat humans, way too fat.
    When WW3 starts we have to re-evaluate that.

    But you can't post a link to it.

    Many have died from blood cloth from the COVID shots.

    A few. Rather fewer than would have died if they hadn't had that
    particular COVID shot - Astra Zeneca - and not been protected against
    Covid-19 by it.

    Many sporters got heart trouble, some died on the playing field.

    They've been doing that since long before Covid-19 was a problem - there
    are some congenital heart defects that only show up in young adults

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_cardiac_death_of_athletes

    Its the evil US its Biological Warfare Department designed COVID (Faulty or something was the bad guys name),

    Total nonsense.

    I knew enough when in an UK test on the hospital staff 2 got sick from 10, and one died later from it.
    Hopefully US president Biden dies and goes to hell (because of him supporting Israel's genocide),


    He doesn't. He hasn't been able to stop them killing off large numbers
    of Palestinian kids, but he's doing what he can to discourage them.

    because if he goes to heaven it will be all wars there.
    Clearly his COVID shots did not improve his memory or ethics.

    They don't have any effect on either of them.

    Yes gut biome is important.

    Even Zero Hedge thinks so, even if their article is irrelevant twaddle.

    Am careful, I do not eat humans, way too fat.

    Those of us that survive it. Eighty-year olds won't be numerous amongst
    the survivors.

    It is designed to appeal to right-wing half-wits like Cursitor Doom, who
    likes his conspiracy theories to be thoroughly absurd.

    There's not a shred of evidence that Covid-19 was any kind of laboratory-developed virus, and virus labs are actually pretty good at
    keeping dangerous viruses safely locked up. It's a stupid idea, but
    Cursitor Doom and Jan Panteltje like it.

    The wet market in Wuhan is a much more likely source - lots more
    potentially infected bush meat, exposed to many more people.

    Just the geographic "coincidence" is overwhelming, the virus origin
    being within walking distance of the lab. The timing is telling too.

    The anti-lab theory is promoted by people who very much don't want the

    No. Mainstream is that we will probably never know but that there were
    no telltale signs of it being spliced together from other known viruses.
    It has been sequenced and examined very widely which was what made the
    mRNA vaccines possible once an invariant target protein was identified.

    That is the result of early exposure to TB, as I had. It modifies the
    T-cells and makes them more effective at fighting infections. You are
    carrying TB, but, so long as your body defences remain strong, you won't develop it.

    Recently was reading that they found a link between COVID shots and long-term COVID.
    Many have died from blood cloth from the COVID shots.
    Many sporters got heart trouble, some died on the playing field...

    Every medication carries risks. However, with the Covid vaccination, it
    is well documented that the benefits greatly outweigh the risks.

    Not to mention that blatant obstruction of the lab and the market by
    the Chinese authorities when the WHO came to investigate.
    It was a half-baked bio-weapon and we'd be fools not to take
    appropriate steps now we know what the Chinese are up to.

    If they'd made it known that millions of people had died as a result
    of a release of a Chinese bio-weapon, there would have been an
    immediate clamor for a massive military response. Saying 'we don't
    know' gives the West a bit of valuable breathing space to decide how
    to deal with this emerging threat without triggering WW3. But I do
    hope China will get it's come-uppance one fine day. They so fucking

    As far as I know, yes.

    https://oversight.house.gov/release/covid-origins-hearing-wrap-up-facts-science-evidence-point-to-a-wuhan-lab-leak%EF%BF%BC/

    is a fairly good overview. The problem is that accusing China of
    being uber sloppy was not politically *convenient*. So the default
    position initially was a 'we just dont know'

    Apparently now, we know a lot more...

    If they'd made it known that millions of people had died as a result
    of a release of a Chinese bio-weapon, there would have been an
    immediate clamor for a massive military response. Saying 'we don't
    know' gives the West a bit of valuable breathing space to decide how
    to deal with this emerging threat without triggering WW3. But I do
    hope China will get it's come-uppance one fine day. They so fucking
    deserve it.

    It wasn't just China...

    I never had a COVID shot and have no adverse effects
    Never had a cold in my life, seem to have anti-bodies against it and some other things too,
    like TBC, tested positive with an arm scratch test in primary school, got xrays 2 or 3 times,
    nothing found, Now I am almost 80 ...

    Recently was reading that they found a link between COVID shots and long-term COVID.
    Many have died from blood cloth from the COVID shots.
    Many sporters got heart trouble, some died on the playing field.

    Its the evil US its Biological Warfare Department designed COVID (Faulty or something was the bad guys name),

    Just the geographic "coincidence" is overwhelming, the virus origin
    being within walking distance of the lab. The timing is telling too.

    Twaddle.
    Not to mention that blatant obstruction of the lab and the market by
    the Chinese authorities when the WHO came to investigate.

    They weren't all that enthusiastic about being blamed for something that
    they hadn't done.

    It was a half-baked bio-weapon and we'd be fools not to take
    appropriate steps now we know what the Chinese are up to.

    Except that there's not a shred of evidence that it was any kind of
    bio-weapon, and the Chinese would have been careful not to infect their
    own population if it had been. One of the IASys biosensor units I worked
    on was sold to UK's Porton Down, to look for the plague bacterium. There haven't been any recent outbreaks of plague in the UK.

    Megadeaths are not something that someone wants to be remembered for.

    Hitler deliberately killed six million Jews - he didn't seem to be all
    that anxious about how he would be remembered.

    That wasn't "gain of function" research. The question examined was
    whether "“spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor
    in a mouse model.”

    The naturally occurring bat coronaviruses weren't modified in any way.
    The question was whether they were potentially dangerous to humans, and
    it got the right answer, though nobody seems to have acted on the
    information obtained - not that they could have done much.

    That wasn't "gain of function" research. The question examined was
    whether "“spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor
    in a mouse model.”

    The naturally occurring bat coronaviruses weren't modified in any way.
    The question was whether they were potentially dangerous to humans, and
    it got the right answer, though nobody seems to have acted on the
    information obtained - not that they could have done much.

    Is that the consensus amongst people who really know what they are

    As far as I know, yes.

    But you don't know much, and don't go to any trouble to find out
    evidence that you'd prefer not to know about.

    https://oversight.house.gov/release/covid-origins-hearing-wrap-up-facts-science-evidence-point-to-a-wuhan-lab-leak%EF%BF%BC/

    is a fairly good overview. The problem is that accusing China of
    being uber sloppy was not politically *convenient*. So the default
    position initially was a 'we just dont know'

    Apparently now, we know a lot more...

    But you can't point to any of this "new"information.

    that site is the information dearie

    https://oversight.house.gov/release/covid-origins-hearing-wrap-up-facts-science-evidence-point-to-a-wuhan-lab-leak%EF%BF%BC/

    Don't bully me. Take it up with them.

    There's no information there. There are a few American senators who know
    what they want to believe, but no facts at all.

    "More than three years have passed since the first case of a new
    coronavirus infection (SARS-CoV-2) in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China).
    The Wuhan Institute of Virology was founded in that city in 1956 and the country’s first biosafety level 4 laboratory opened within that center
    in 2015. The coincidence that the first cases of infection emerged in
    the city where the virology institute’s headquarters is located, the
    failure to 100% identify the virus’ RNA in any of the coronaviruses
    isolated in bats, and the lack of evidence on a possible intermediate
    animal host in the contagion’s transmission make it so that at present,
    there are doubts about the real origin of SARS-CoV-2. This article will
    review two theories: SARS-CoV-2 as a virus of zoonotic origin or as a
    leak from the high-level biosafety laboratory in Wuhan."

    ...
    "Do these findings close the discussion on the origins of SARS-CoV-2?

    No. As can be seen, there are two theories that could coexist or the
    debate could be closed by choosing one or the other. Defining chains of infection and seeking the origin of them is a fundamental aspect of
    public health. Therefore, on the one hand, it seems evident that the transmission originated in the Huanan market. But, on the other hand,
    three fundamental questions remain that have not been definitively
    answered. First, where did the virus come from? Second, what was the intermediate animal host? And third, why has the virus genome not been reproduced 100% in any of the coronaviruses found in bats?"

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10019034/

    In short whilst there is no *conclusive* evidence one way or another the balance of probability is that it was made in a lab but not as a
    bioweapon. It was an accident.

    In short whilst there is no *conclusive* evidence one way or another the balance of probability is that it was made in a lab but not as a
    bioweapon. It was an accident.

    A lab source is decidedly improbable.Labs don't hold a lot of viruses
    and they keep them confined. A wet market offers a lot more
    opportunities for an variants to be generated, and a lot more humans
    exposed to a human-infectious variant.

    The reason that Covid-19 virus has not been found in bats is that it's
    spike protein doesn't latch onto the bat ACE-receptor,

    There was a variants of the bat virus found in pangolin's that did have
    a have a modified spike protein that would have latched onto a human ACE-receptor, but it clearly wasn't related to Covid-19.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7926496/

    talks about minks and badgers as intermediate hosts of Covid-19.

    Badgers were bush-meat items at the Wuhan wet market. It got cleaned out without anybody bothering to test whether any of the illegal bush meat
    was infected.

    The absence of evidence of an intermediate host isn't all that
    surprising - a variant evolved that did do well in humans, but its
    ancestor didn't have to do all that well in it's intermediate host.

    The lab origin theory is an implausible theory ,The balance of
    probablity doesn't remotely favour an accidental lab origin - labs have
    many fewer animals, and they don't want them infecting one another or
    the lab workers.

    The anti-lab theory is promoted by people who very much don't want the
    lab origin to be the cause.


    The anti-lab theory is popular among people who subscribe to the "two
    people can effectively keep a secret when one of them is dead"-theory
    and "China does enough bad things without having to invent reasons"-theory.

    China at least seems to manage their oppressed populations "well enough" (deliberate scare quotes) such that they don't regularly have to bomb
    and strafe 25,000 of them to death in retaliation for when they get
    uppity and stage a violent prison riot.
