Submission + - Kennedy Appoints New CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel Members (apnews.com)

skam240 writes: On Wednesday U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appointed 8 new members to the CDC Vaccine Advisory Panel after dismissing the entire panel earlier in the week . His new appointees include individuals who have been associated with vaccine misinformation and even one who has claimed that the COVID vaccines cause a form of aids. This is after stating on Tuesday “We’re going to bring great people onto the ACIP panel – not anti-vaxxers – bringing people on who are credentialed scientists.”.

Abram Wagner of the University of Michigan’s school of public health, who investigates vaccination programs, said he’s not satisfied with the composition of the committee.

“The previous ACIP was made up of technical experts who have spent their lives studying vaccines,” he said. Most people on the current list “don’t have the technical capacity that we would expect out of people who would have to make really complicated decisions involving interpreting complicated scientific data.”

China has a huge amount of their own infrastructure, so this isn't really surprising. Unlike U.S., China likes to do everything themselves. This also means you're not dependent on other countries like the U.S. is. What you don't understand is that China thinks long term, and everything they've done will grant them the leading country status some day, probably even within 10-15 years, especially when considering how much U.S. and EU are struggling now after thinking only short term financial gains.

China may like to do everything themselves, they still are extremely dependent upon the West's desire for goods made in China. Will China's middle class grow to the point that China will no longer need USA or Europe to buy their stuff in 10-15 years? I doubt it.

I think it would not be so difficult to know the difference between expected data streams and unexpected data streams without ever knowing the content of the streams. IP addresses, MACs, ports, and any app info is all you need. There is no need for deep inspection.
