Imagine If They Hadn’t Lied To Us For The Last 18 Months

She said something stupid (not surprising) that if Trump was in the lab cooking up the brew she wasn't interested.But we knew what her dog whistle meant. That is if it came out under the Trump administration she wasn't taking it. And mass murderer Cuomo wanted New York to do its on study
Pure rambling. Have no clue what you are trying to say.
 
For his involvement in funding gain of function research in the Wuhan Lab, Fauci needs to be fired, in the very least. Plus, all the liberals need to be fired by the voters in upcoming elections....clean the house, get rid of these clowns.

Masking up is going to make us sick, once again.....don't fall for it, for most do not use the correct mask or wear them properly, or use the same mask over and over....it's disgusting.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Gain-of-function research is an essential component of research in virology if we are to understand how viral mutations behave. And your kook website is one of the reasons why so much disinformation is being spread by the likes of you.

Do they have lies in Russia?
 
That’s my biggest gripe. Except we call it moving the goal post.

Fauci should be escorted from the facilities today and fired
—————-
Everybody wrap something around your face again even though they said you wouldn’t need to if you got vaxxed!

But they didn’t lie – no, apparently a bunch of people – and not just those evil white nationalist-Christian-gun-Jesus-flag people – are refusing to get the vaccine, and the reason is that they are moral defectives somehow in thrall to Tucker Carlson’s Svengali-like powers of persuasion.

You see, the people who won’t get it are stupid people who hate science because they refuse to trust the people who have spent the last year-and-a-half lying to them.

No one lied. The situation changed, so the CDC's advice did, too.
Don't confuse a lot of rude people on the internet with the officials trying to save lives.
Sounds to me like Mr. Schlichter is having a good old whine.
 
The problem is with the definition of "works". Even a properly worn N95 is not a true respirator. However it will do a better job than a simple surgical mask.

The arguments against masks is that they are not perfect. Hence they don't work. That is an absurd and dangerous argument made by unserious and dangerous people.

A version of the same argument is made against the COVID vaccines....again arguments made by unserious and dangerous people.


I don't know what you mean by "true" respirator. It sounds like your own definition. The N95 "mask" is, definitionally, a respirator, not a mask.
 
More mindless thoughtless lies and half-truths from the right passed off as something meaningful.

No one lied, as we learned new things we adapted. Well, some of us did while the right sat back and complained then invented false dilemmas.

BINGO!

I was saying this over a year ago when Fauci and the CDC were telling Americans first not to wear masks, and then yes, make your own, but N95s are ONLY for healthcare workers.
There weren't enough at the time. Should you have one before a nurse in a hospital full of Covid patients?
 
Yes, the behavior of both sides during the last 18 months has been DISGRACEFUL.

IMHO, those people who have made this pandemic a political rather than a medical matter should be ashamed of themselves.

I agree that President Trump was foolish to ride around and wave to his supporters when he was in the hospital for COVID; I agree that top Democratic officials were irresponsible to publicly state that any vaccine pushed by President Trump was not to be trusted.

If this nation ever implodes (and I personally feel it will in the next century), it will be due to what Americans are doing to one another -- not to the Chinese or Russians or North Koreans.
 
RW posters continue to repeat lies and falsehood, making up new ones along the way.

Fauci did not allow funding of Wuhan GoF experiment.

Masking-up does not make us sick as if worse than contracting COVID.

That masking does not work 100% does not mean they don't work.

That there is not a majority of unvaccinated that refuse to be vaccinated does not mean the 45% that refuse vaccination is an insignificant amount.

Nobody lied, but it was discovered that the variant worsened, which required a change in safe practice, like masking.

Facts do not stop the RW from repeating falsehood, and creating new ones.
 
I agree that top Democratic officials were irresponsible to publicly state that any vaccine pushed by President Trump was not to be trusted.
That is NOT WHAT THEY SAID OR DID! And you know it. They simply said that they would never take the word of an imbecile who recommended taking internal bleach and UV light to cure covid unless and until any recommended treatment or vaccine was vetted by real scientists with real expertise and credentials.
STOP LYING ABOUT WHAT HARRIS SAID!!!

You're entitled to a different point of view or opinion, but you're not entitled to knowingly lie about facts (yes, there still are such things).
 
Nor is the type of mask people are deploying which is the point that you make that is valid. By the way.....going back to your N95 would be my advice. Delta IS NOT the original virus....a long way from it and much more contagious.

The vaccines we have appear to be effective preventing hospitalization or death from Delta. However the viral loading in the nasal passages is so much greater with Delta, 1,000 times that of the original COVID-19 and THAT is why Delta's transmission rate is so high. The hospitalization rate directly correlates to the unvaccinated. The key for us that are vaccinated is to protect against becoming an asymptomatic spreader of Delta to the unvaccinated and or to each other.


I don't know what you mean by "original" virus. The Delta is the delta ("of concern) variant stage, after the alpha ("of interest") stage, of COVID-19.

The Delta variant is much more transmissible featuring 1,000 times the viral load in nasal passages of the original version of the COVID-19 virus identified by WHO at the start of the pandemic. THAT is what I mean.

Sneakily giving monies to the CCP to research gain of function in a lab we knew was not the most safe and secure.....yeah that's the ticket.....and then lie about it.

More garbage. Nobody "sneakily" gave anything to anyone. Where do you learn this crap, zerohedge? As for the Wuhan lab you never even knew it existed until 18 months ago.

From the article:


"An April 13, 2020 email from NIAID official Dr. Emily Erbelding indicates the 2019 funding for the Wuhan lab was the first installment under a new grant to EcoHealth that would have netted the facility approximately $750,000 over a total of six years in addition to the almost $750,000 it received between fiscal years 2014 and 2018.

Between fiscal years 2014 and 2019, EcoHealth received approximately $3.75 million in grant money to carry out its study titled, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergency.”


The mother fu****s were actively doing gain of function research on bats in the Wuhan lab, so now we all know why Fauci downplayed and lied about the truth.

They have so many there they export them to the USA where Trumpers lap them up and beg for more. The CDC didn't lie, you just can't handle uncertainty.

We have agreement, lol (post #71)

Irregardless, you cannot deny the facts in the article.....so the typical deferral of probable deniability. Fauci was funding "BAT" gain of function research at the Wuhan Lab, end of story.
 
Some people are too ignorant and dangerous to have access to a keyboard. I'll leave it at that.
