I scanned the article but didn't see any reference to the experimental meningitis vaccine. I think it is well suppressed.

But it proves the where and when of the testing of this experimental vaccine. I have no proof of the theory, I mostly try to post only CF approved sources.
I wasn't going to mention it but the subject came up so I did. I am sure you will find volumes of evidence to the contrary. (isn't that how cover-ups work?)

The article cited how the 1918 flu RNA was sequenced from a preserved lab specimen and from frozen tissue from ?Alaska.

Meningococcus is a bacteria that does not cause people to cough up their bloody lungs after 48 hours. Drawing any link is odd.

Re: Mutated strain of Covid-19 Found in London.

TWIV don't seem overly concerned about the new variant with a good explanation of why in the short video.
most likely a ploy by the UK gov to reduce superspreader events over Crimbo on a population suffering lockdown fatigue imho

Re: Mutated strain of Covid-19 Found in London.

As long as the death rate remains extremely low, there is no need to panic. Higher rates of positive tests does not equate higher deaths. The death rate has been decreasing steadily. If you are in the high risk category, maybe you should stay home. If you are not sick, don't have symptoms, are young and healthy, you are likely fine. As I have said before; I had it, it was not fun, but it was basically the flu for an extended period. Everyone that I have talked to that has had it had less symptoms than I had - mostly just cold-like symptoms, which is the standard. We need to stop the blown out of proportion stuff. You are very unlikely to get it. If you do get it, you are not likely to even know it. If you get symptoms, you are likely to think you have a common cold. Some people will get it worse, like I did. Some will get it real bad. A very small portion of people will have severe symptoms, and some will even die. This number is extremely small, so relax and continue to live your life.

Re: Mutated strain of Covid-19 Found in London.

The pfizer placebo group of 17,511 people had only 3 cases cases of severe COVID, two of whom were hospitalized, one of the two had pneumonia and the other for a cardiac issue. Meaning the odds of the average person (unvaccinated) in this study being hospitalized is 1/17,511 or 0.006%. This vaccine trial is the obviously one of the most detailed studies done on the virus. (not guessing and faking numbers like many others)

Tell me again how deadly covid is?

Not very deadly... for the duration of one vaccine study. Where do we sign up?

Re: Mutated strain of Covid-19 Found in London.

The point is: The facts show that it is NOT a deadly virus. This is very well known, and obvious to anyone with an open mind.

Whatever the cause was, I am sure that they are lying. Some say it was radio waves. They wouldn't have tried so hard to prove H1N1 if it was the truth. (from my perspective). Why aren't these vaccination experiments that I posted about in FT Riley (just before the outbreak) common knowledge? We're talking John D experiments here. The richest man to date. Mandated allopathic medicine. Snakeoil salesman. Standard Oil. You don't think that there would have been a coverup?

That is very nice blue sky thinking.

The reality is that the 10% who want to just live their life without making any effort to reduce transmission are driving 80% of the infections in population dense areas.

our hospitals are full already without covid,just dealing with an aging population,covid stress on the system has people unable to get any treatment for any complaint serious ,covid or otherwise.

yes some will die,but there are many who months later are still suffering and have not recovered,and may not ever recover fully from covid.

as they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

so wear a mask,keep your distance, wash your hands and avoid being a selfish muppet by your actions

Re: Mutated strain of Covid-19 Found in London.

It will be (is?) a year since covid was identified. How much effort the governments of countries with the highest % of obese, diabetic, etc (those with so called co-morbidities) put into going after the underlying causes of the severe effects of covid on already UNHEALTHY persons? It seems to me we are looking for the proverbial dollar coin not where it may have fallen but where there is more light (read - justification for more populace and political control).

It's great that some sort of vaccines are already developed in just a year but IMO it would be even better if in that year the obesity rates would have come down at least say 5-10%. And the high taxes imposed on high fat/high sugar/corn syrup/processed white flour, etc foods would go a long way toward improving the health of the obese nations.

We have an upside down food distribution system where healthy naturally occuring in nature foods are more expensive then chemically affected and artificially enhanced ones.

Rather than catching escaped farm animals after the fact perhaps it would be wiser to keep the proverbial barn door fully locked by keeping the population at healthier levels of existence. It not really that hard to make unhealthy foods too expensive to buy compared to healthy ones. Seems to work with cigarettes lately.

The fact that virus' used to be commonly be named that way doesn't mean that this one was. Counter examples include HIV/AIDS, SARS, H1N1, Swine Flu, H5N1 (aka Bird flu). The current pandemic virus has the official name of COVID-19.

The alternative name was coined by Mike Pompeo seeking to cast opprobrium on China which is involved in a political dispute with the US government.

Your insistence on calling it by that alternative name strikes me as very likely politically motivated and possibly also racist though I am less sure of that.

I notice also that you have brought up that Nazis at least twice in recent post confirming the validity of Godwin's law.
