Max2 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Everyone keeps talking Scientists know best. Follow Science, yah, yah. Im behind that, but not blindly. Science didnt stop Sweet & Low. Didnt stop Zantac, Baby Powder, Asbestos and a litany of other items that all seemed perfectly safe at the time. I know a Brain surgeon and I always use to help him find his car keys during Med school, oh and he already had a masters degree in Chemical Engineering. Very smart guy. BTW, this wasn't one of the times when we were eating mushrooms either..... jk, No true story 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here some tell patients that the vaccines seem to be safe so far and may confer some degree of extra protection, but long term consequences are unknown, while others say that it is perfectly safe/tested/and there are no worries Otoh, we now know of the dangers of contracting Covid-19. Americans are lucky that we have several vaccines whereas other parts of the world are still going through turmoil because they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 COVID Back to Origin: Wuhan , China-1st Covid 19 Superpreader - The progenitor genome (proCoV2) is the mother of all SARS-CoV-2 coronaviruses that has infected and continues to infect people today. In the absence of patient zero, Kumar and his research team now may have found the next best thing to aid the worldwide molecular epidemiology detective work. “We reconstructed the genome of the progenitor and its early pedigree by using a big dataset of coronavirus genomes obtained from infected individuals since December 2019,” They found that the progenitor gave rise to a family of coronavirus strains, whose members included the strains found in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. “In essence, the events in December in Wuhan, China, represented the first superspreader event of a virus that had all the tools necessary to cause a worldwide pandemic right out of the box,” https://scitechdaily.com/tracing-covid-back-to-origin-many-variant-strains-were-already-present-before-the-first-known-cases-identified-in-china/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first heard the news report and downplayed it to my SIL. Was hoping it was not as bad as was being reported. I have yet to directly say to her, she was correct for being highly concerned. I will when we speak freely soon as possible, although she already knows I took it seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 And sorry if I seemed flippant to Maynard about subliminal messaging. Not necessarily in the vaccine context, yet it has been used in the past am fairly certain by nefarious parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
