Comment Re:Perhaps unfounded, but not unbelievable (Score 1) 411

Because the bioweapon scientist got bit by a bat, managed to flee the lockdown and then Dr. Li Wielang blew the whistle and became a martyr for warning us all.

The Plan was probably for us to all be unaware until hundreds of thousands of us were dropping dead worldwide.

Although it is believed personalized peptide vaccines should be safer when produced correctly than traditional vaccines, independently synthesizing and using your own vaccine can be deadly or worse if you make a mistake. This design is intended for experienced companies, scientists, or organizations to implement with adequate resources and testing facilities.

Well, that's a little more of an extreme disclaimer than your typical MIT License. sheesh!!!

/They have a provisional vaccine because China is super cooperative (suspiciously) and, if it is a bioweapon of their own making, then, well, they would have a vaccine developed already.

End goal: Depopulate a major resistance region of 50% of their male population between the ages of 15 and 45 [chief reproduction years] and reduce the desire to revolt and the major imbalance of young men to young women in the country.

Give the vaccine to everyone in advance, do your dardnest to keep the target population grounded, and the rest of the world won't nuke you if only your own country suffers mass casualties.

It already has a foothold in India. The Modi government is freaking out. 5 confirmed cases, ~100 unconfirmed.

It spreads through dogs and cats and is asymptomatic in most children under the age of 12, apparently.

Only Chinese have died so far, at a high mortality rate (~40%) but it targets ACE2 lung cells that only Chinese men have in large concentrations. That is one of the reasons that people think it's a bioweapon targetting Chinese men only.

The odds of a black person dying of this are *exceptionally* low, as they have practically no ACE2 cell receptors (0.02% vs 3% in the average Chinese male).

I'm the exact same way. I bought the 2 TV system for HD and my parents' TV and my monitor at my house. If they didn't allow this, I'd cancel Netflix immediately.

Amazon TV I'd keep because Prime is its own reward.

I use nothing else. I enjoy Netflix Originals way way more than anything on TV and almost everything at theaters.
