  • Mid January, 2020. Two Chinese journalists were sent to Wuhan to investigate a mysterious virus outbreak. This is their account of the three days before Wuhan entered lockdown. The World Health Organization held meetings to decide if the epidemic was a global health emergency. It did not consider it so. When the journalists arrive, locals were busy preparing for upcoming Chinese New Year celebration. At the time, not much was known about the virus that was just days away from changing the world. Then came a pivotal announcement: human-to-human transmission was confirmed. The journalists witnessed a city of 11 million people transform overnight. Initial nonchalance was quickly replaced by panic. People started wearing masks, shops were shuttered. They shuttled between the increasingly saturated hospitals and Huanan Seafood Market, at the time thought to be the epicentre of this contagion. And they were stopped at every juncture. Their reports were censored and their investigations blocked. @AJIUnit

      For what cause? Give guilt to Chinese government? The world knows Bill gates Dr Fauci Pentagon are in researching "gain of function" experiments in deadly viruses. All of the labs moved to overseas in tropic areas.
      They have evidence of Spain in March 2019 the sewage samples have covid19. Remember summer 2019, many patients with pulmonary disease died within two weeks (God bless them and condolences to those families), they were written off as vape related pulmonary injury. 34 deaths of 1604 cases off CDC website. Thatis 2.1% death rate. Median age is 45 years old. Looks a lot like the numbers of covid. As of 04/06/2021, 2,875,844 deaths, of 132,499,396 confirmed cases. Covid global death rate =2.17%.
      The evidence suggests earlier transmissions than we believed. Now they are no longer counting pulmonary diseases of patients due to vaping related injuries, although people in USA are continuing to vape.

      @Caponezheater very well written, but the world knows covid was spreading around before September 2019 due to irrefutable evidence released to the public. (Italy, Spain, Brazil) And very much USA had covid19 symptoms reported but passed through as vape related deaths. The exact origins is still unknown.
      Scientifically, hitting a vape is not going to cause entry for ACE2 pathway leading to damage seen in lungs also seen in other cancer related diseases. If that was the case there would be more studies that can elaborate on your claims, as in scientifically other communities can look into the vape pen, conduct tests, find that whatever is in those vape pen.
      The vaping issues back in 2019 coincidentally the same year covid was reported, both covid and vaping issues in USA had same symptoms, ratios in numbers, statistics, and as you say it, many people vape and as do many people breathe the air. What should be said is that maybe vaping makes people more susceptible to flu like symptoms and with up regulation to ACE2 inhibitor. But, yet even then there is evidence in study shown that it is not true, smoking does up regulate, but it was not found for vaping. (ATSJournals. Org). Continuing with 2019, Covid19 was not yet known and not yet profiled. This was not exclusive to USA, there are many pulmonary disorder and issues reported in other countries during that same year. Of course not a single report will write covid19 because it was not yet known to the database. As in, they weren't even checked for covid19 because the global community was not aware of it. There were no covid19 test kits yet.
      .
      .
      Only ones that knew were the Pentagon funded research for the gain-of-function scientists back even early as of 2013. (can search "covid19 2013") But the objective of Gain-of-function were to benefit the mass population of the future by preventing killer diseases from spreading. Look out for the next killer virus, H5N1 mutant. Where is the vaccine though?
      All the things I wrote here is not from my own thinking. They are from sources available to the public. They are searchable and readable. Such as searching, "covid19 2013", you can see scientific journals stating their facts. Not mine. Pubmed is also a good website. It is what a lot of doctors and investigators will look at as well. I only raise awareness because we should all be doing better together. H5N1 mutant will kill a lot of people. If raising awareness saves lives, then i think you should too. Stronger together by gaining deeper understandings.

    • @superheaton
      @superheaton 3 года назад +4

      @Caponezheater please stay on topic. We are talking about viruses and it does not care about politics or who is right or wrong. In my humanitarian view it is more important to raise awareness and critical thinking then talking about burden of proof reversal. Which by the way is not seen in many scientific ideologies. Paper is presented, read by others in scientific community, checked and proved themselves to see if they arrive at the same logical conclusion for it to be peer reviews. As you can see, burden is distributed evenly, because other people are also determined to provide the same proof of outcome or not. And they don't talk about burden in papers. Of course my example here is not well written, but I hope you can understand that is done in astronomy, medicine, physics, etc. Such as at CERN, they need to have 5 sigma of confidence interval to rule out many types of errors, in order to determine a theory is successful. Even if I provided irrefutable evidence, you do not believe anything until you have made your own discoveries and to lead yourself to your own conclusions, and only so that would be considered as critical thinking rather holding a belief. So, I ask you what are your thoughts?

    I followed the virus from the first days of reporting. Hearing the screams and cries from citizens locked inside of their apartment blocks, seeing the visuals of officers(?) using oxy acetylene torches to seal possible infected cases inside their units.
    I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I work full time as a nighttime floor cleaner and general maintenance contractor. I started wearing a mask before a lot of people in my city even *knew* the virus was an international problem. I never took a day off due to sars cov 2, and I hope and pray that there are no exposures where I work.
    I have seen people that refuse to wear a mask, people coughing into the open, and just straight up ignorance about something so simple as washing their hands. Unfortunately I can't afford to take time off of work, being an "essential worker". Some people get mad and frustrated about the fact that they have to wear a mask, and I don't understand why they think its all a hoax.

    Having lived in China for 10 years myself I still have a lot of friends & contacts there. I remember reading a very passing rumour late November 2019 about a 'weird flu' a couple of people got but didn't think any more of it. Then talk increased in December with that 1st covid doctor Li Wenliang online but I just thought it was 'the fringe' speaking, thinking it might just be a localised virus. By 1st week in January I didn't care what others were saying, I already started my preps, buying longlife food and the last masks I could (the Asians in the community had already got them, but other Australians didn't seem to know anything about it). Glad I prepped when SHTF in March- but I was still going to work everyday **sweating** anxiously about having to get public transport & waiting for the government to finally shut us down. By March 26 I was working from home- and as of today 10 February 2021 I still haven't been back into the office.

      I got unfriended by a few Aussie friends who treated the pandemic as a hoax during the first lockdown. Yes, I can confirm that most Aussies had no idea what was happening in Europe, Asia, and the US in April 2020 based on the posts and comments from them on Facebook feed. All they could do was repeat the same script that had been shared worldwide: there is a global conspiracy by the cabal to takeover the world by creating massive fear in order to turn us into slaves with a lockdown. The virus is a hoax in order to take away our freedom. If you don't see that, then you're a sheeple!
      Needless to say, they're not worth my time nor my loyalty.
