99% survival rate.

Not 99% you're gonna die.

Understand now?

 

Let's say it's 100, 1 person will die because of the hong Kong flu. 99 will survive.

Sounds like normal numbers for the flu.

Because it's a form of the flu!!!!

 

USA, millions, your point?

 

Glad you asked. I don't have actual numbers but I knew this hong Kong flu was BS from the beginning.

I know numbers are about the same.

Let me ask you, or all of the believers in the hong Kong flu a question.

The flu vaccine has been around since when, 40's 50's?

Has the flu gone away?

 

Tell you what, call off work, tell your boss you only have a 99% chance of making it in, there's a 1% chance that you could get in a car crash and die.

See how long you have a job doing this.

 

You can look the facts up.

The flu vaccine did not make the flu go away.

If you think I'm gonna be scared by a form of the flu with a 99% survival rate I've got news for you, it's about Santa Claus, and you won't be happy.

 

Well the media is wanting all the branch covidians to take the vaccine, giving free food and other stuff if you take it.

 

Worked all the way through it, 1918 Spanish flu mutated to less harmful when it realised it was killing its hosts, and they didn't know what a virus was in 1918 killed 90 million, the earth needs a cull every now and then, no wars keeping the numbers down and living too long

 

* CDC figures for the total deaths seem to show a decline in 2021. In a real pandemic, that would not be the case! The total number of deaths would increase! The decrease in 2021 suggests that COVID-19 is actually saving lives!

* It seems that the number of influenza deaths has fallen to zero. That is more evidence that the Establishment is pasting the COVID-1984 label on ordinary influenza deaths. Why? -- to keep people in a constant panic.

I write "seems" because I question all of the numbers I see. It will take years to sort things out and determine what the real numbers are. But one thing I know is this: The Establishment often lies. All of its wars begin with huge lies. The NHS leak in Britain is hard evidence that the Establishment is lying about COVID-19 as well.

But what could the motive be? What was the motive in 2003, when the New York Times and the rest of the media chorus pushed the lie about "Iraqi WMDs"? The motive becomes clear when we understand the nature of the Establishment. It is a global criminal enterprise that profits from war and terror. It developed out of the British Empire, the empire that got much of China hooked on opium. It includes rogue elements from the CIA and similar organizations.

* Think about this: When the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001, opium production there was near zero. A year later, Afghanistan was producing a bumper poppy crop, with the fields protected by U.S. soldiers.

* And think about this: The Downing Street Memo shows that Bush and Blair knew that the "Iraqi WMDs" story was a concocted lie. But that didn't stop them from making war, war that left a million Iraqis dead and cost trillions of dollars off-budget. Where did that vast sum of money go? It went to the people who invest in war -- i.e., to the global Establishment. Do you think these investors care about Americans? Did they care about the thousands of American soldiers they sent to die in Iraq? They are loyal to money and power and that's it, and COVID-19 gives them an opportunity to destroy the U.S. economy and buy it back, pennies on the dollar.

But that's just my opinion. And what do I know?

 

Delta variant raises fears of worsening mutations



The rapid spread of the delta variant is raising concerns among scientists that the coronavirus could mutate into more transmissible or deadlier strains.

The fresh fears come as the U.S. vaccination rate has largely plateaued and with much of the world still unvaccinated. Such a large number of people without even one vaccine dose gives the virus more chances to spread, replicate and potentially develop mutations.

Experts say that while mutations are not a certainty, the odds will remain high unless more vaccines are administered. And they warn that the highly transmissible delta variant, which came from mutations, could seem tame in comparison to future strains.

In announcing the new mask guidance this week, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky addressed the anxiety among public health experts over whether potential mutations might be able to bypass existing COVID-19 vaccines.

“Right now, fortunately, we are not there,” Walensky said. “These vaccines operate really well in protecting us from severe disease and death.”

“But the big concern is that the next variant that might emerge, just a few mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccines,” she added.

When COVID-19 spreads, the virus replicates its genetic material to infect more cells. In the process, that material sometimes mutates from the original strain.

Andrew Pekosz, a professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said the virus mutates randomly but at a steady rate.

Most changes do not help or inhibit the virus’s ability to spread, but “very, very infrequently” its genetic material alters to give it the upper hand, he said.

It’s “incredibly difficult to predict” when these mutations will occur, Pekosz said, adding that the opportunities for alterations increase in areas where the virus can spread easily.

“Until we make sure that the virus can't freely replicate in the population anywhere in the world, we're always going to have that increased likelihood of mutations occurring,” he said.

The World Health Organization has classified four strains as variants of concern that give the virus an advantage: the alpha, beta, gamma and delta variants. Another four strains are labeled as variants of interest, which could possibly benefit the virus.

Officials and experts widely view immediate vaccinations in the U.S. and around the world as the best way to reduce the risk of more harmful variants from developing.

“Now is the time for people to get vaccinated,” Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine told Washington Post Live on Friday. “That's the best way to protect against the development of these variants.”

That message is being delivered in some hard-hit states as well.


Louisiana’s top medical official, Joseph Kanter, emphasized that while the COVID-19 vaccines are effective against the delta strain, that may not be the case with other variants.

“There's no guarantee that future variants will provide us that opportunity,” he told reporters on Thursday.

The seven-day U.S. average in vaccinations leveled off in the past few weeks to more than 500,000 doses per day before jumping to 615,000 on Thursday. Still, the rate is a dramatic drop-off from its peak of 3.3 million doses per day in mid-April, according to Our World in Data.

Less than half of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated, including less than 58 percent of Americans 12 and older who are eligible to get the shots.

The emergence of a variant that could evade the existing vaccines would pose an “ultra serious” problem, said William Schaffner, a professor of infectious diseases at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

“Then we would have to create a new vaccine to match that new variant,” he said. “That’s not so tough. The technology is there. That would be done within a month or two. But then we would have to give this new vaccine to everybody. We’d have to start all over again.”

Only 14.2 percent of the global population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, leaving much of the world more at risk. President Biden has committed to sending millions of donated doses abroad to accelerate the world’s vaccination effort.

Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, said that if vaccines were ready for the world at the same time as in the U.S., “potentially we could have forestalled or prevented” the delta variant.

Still, he said the kinds of mutations in current variants suggest that the virus’s evolution is not selecting changes that are “completely resistant” to the vaccines in use now.

“I'm hoping what that means is that we won't see a doomsday COVID-19 that's completely resistant to all of our vaccines,” he said. “I don't think that's gonna happen.”

Experts agree that the CDC’s updated mask guidance could help prevent the formation of harmful new variants, as masking offers an additional layer of protection.

Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb predicted on CNBC that the U.S. would get through the worst of the delta variant within a few weeks, adding that the CDC’s new recommendations could have a “negligible impact.”

But some experts expressed uncertainty, pointing to how quickly the state of the pandemic could change, especially with schools across the country returning in-person in the next few weeks.

“It may be that we can, that we'll see something peaking ... in the next week or two of delta,” said Pekosz of Johns Hopkins. “But when we move back inside in the fall, that's another opportunity for a resurgence to occur.”

We will never actually know the true amount of infected people that die from covid. In the poor and rural communities they rely on herb doctors and some don't even bother going to the doctor so their passings aren't even noted. There are more and more studies coming out that are equating the massive up turn in dead people with Corona Virus. On the mathematical side of it I tend to agree that if the numbers of dead people are correctly recorded and there is a sharp rise in the unexplained deaths for the same period then they are probably casualties of covid. Seeing as the reports are numbers into the millions I believe that there has to be some truth in them.

 

Elephant version coming, after that, F, people are really buying this bs?

Get a life and don't buy everything the media is trying to make you believe.

How stupid is everyone to think that a virus with a 99% survival rate needs to make everyone go crazy?

1% survival rate I can understand. Everyone didn't die. Hoax. Hoax.

Get it now?

 

Actually the one that doesn't get it is you spouting false propaganda without the fainest clue about what y9u are talking about. And I am not going to bother to post the proof of that after your bullshit false propaganda has already been debunked over and over and over again on this thread.

And I am sure you will not even bother to look because you are another one that believes things are so just because you say so.

 

How the delta variant transmits and replicates so readily is addressed in the current nature!

Protect yourselves and get vaccinated.

I have a healthy immune system and not afraid of a form of the flu with a 99% survival rate.

Keep buying what the media is selling and have a good day.

 

Try this one. Listen to all the screaming that mandated vaccines is un American. Really? Then why was the first mass mandated inoculation ordered by George Washington in the Revolutionary War? And the date breaks the irony meter.

George Washington and the First Mass Military Inoculation

On the 6th of January 1777, George Washington wrote to Dr. William Shippen Jr., ordering him to inoculate all of the forces that came through Philadelphia. He explained that: "Necessity not only authorizes but seems to require the measure, for should the disorder infect the Army . . . we should have more to dread from it, than from the Sword of the Enemy." The urgency was real. Troops were scarce and encampments had turned into nomadic hospitals of festering disease, deterring further recruitment. Both Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Franklin, after surveying the havoc wreaked by Variola in the Canadian campaign, expressed fears that the virus would be the army's ultimate downfall. (Fenn 2001, 69)

Americans CIVILIANS....were never govt lemmings dutifully obeying govt edict, ...since the days of Washington, its the obligation of the MILITARY to follow medical orders to protect the freedom of civilians from govt edicts

 

Has the flu gone away? There's a vaccine for it right?
