Wuhan Killer Sneeze (thanks Tea)

Well I pulled that bit about recs out to save you the trouble. But the change in emphasis is important I think.

this is a good and long overdue counter-conspiracy theory

The pursuit of herd immunity is a folly – so who's funding this bad science?

Links between an anti-lockdown declaration and a libertarian thinktank suggest a hidden agenda, say scientists Trish Greenhalgh, Martin McKee and Michelle Kelly-Irving

Well, yes, libertarians would be against lockdowns, duh.

Herd immunity was to be our approach (as Vallance said in one of the press conferences) before our government mimicked the almost unprecedented use of lockdowns.

yeah i know i was there at the time it was less than a year ago

If it were such a bizarre policy, SAGE would not have been planning to follow it.

 

[luka]

well they bottled it cos they thought if there was loads of deaths it would look a bit bad, particularly if everyone else locked down and came out smelling of roses.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Backfired somewhat, especially as the country ended up getting herd immunity in most parts anyway.

what i like about this is it's a classic conspirachy theory even down to the oak panelled room. the only thing missing is cigar smoke.

my view of reality is completely unapologetically conspiratorial so this is not an issue for me. just happy to see it cross over into the centre. Mr Tea ranting about Russia and puppetmaster Putin etc. it's great!

 

[luka]

we;re all conspiracy theorists now.

Watching Sky News right now and it's reporting that in China they are giving- some of - the general public an untested vaccine.

 

[luka]

thats why dissensus is anti-vax. they'll be trying that on us soon. fuck that.

 

[IdleRich]

They're not forcing people, you gotta pay 25 quid if you want it but loads of people are going for it.

 

[slackk]

Herd immunity is the modern day incel school shooter gimp really

 

[slackk]

People are out here getting bummed by the breitbart internet and asking it to come on their face with glee

 

[IdleRich]

Yep

 

[IdleRich]

And yep.

 

[WashYourHands]

Is it possible that a vaccine could fail and strengthen the virus?

 

[IdleRich]

I got no idea whatsoever. But this one has completely not been tested at all so all kinds of side-effects are surely likely.
