Interesting to hear the perspective from Gates. He thinks he has the credibility to throw stones, and doesn’t realize what a loser he is.

My wife & I both got it. It’s fine I guess. Felt a bit under the weather for a day then got over it, NBD. We both still got COVID afterwards so it’s totally bogus, but that’s par for the course on this issue. If you’re just looking to check the box, J&J does it faster than the others.

Yea, then it sounds like Pfeizer shouldn’t be equivalent to Comirnaty and DOD did that to make this order fast & immediately enforceable. If all those variables matter to the FDA, maybe they matter?

At one time slavery was the law. And internment of innocent Japanese. And prohibition. And obeying the British crown. And segregation. Etc. But people resisted unjust laws and eventually the laws changed. What’s interesting here is these aren’t even laws. These are edicts that never passed the legislature. And are clearly controversial. Yet you’re in absolute glee watching peoples livelihoods wrecked as they voice dissent. You’re usually a smart dude whose posts I enjoy; don’t always agree with but I know you’ve thought it through. So as a thinking person, watching the “science” change as efficacy shrinks to months, seeing the slow leak of info about the origins which contradicts the certainty of “expert” opinions, watching flip-flop-Fauci, seeing the hypocrisy of democratic leaders who say one thing but act totally different when folks aren’t watching…. I have to ask you: do you think these posts will age well? Do you think 3 years from now your smug condescension will still seem justified?

I was told by Med Group Comirnaty will not be available in the US (at least for DOD, I didn’t ask about the country writ large). Military members are ordered to take the FDA approved vaccine, and Pfiezer is “chemically identical” per company literature, therefore they are ordered to take Pfiezer. It begs the question why Pfiezer isn’t the FDA approved vaccine; why the rebranding and lack of availability in the United States? And why are we trusting company literature? The FDA made no claim that Pfiezer was identical. Feels like a bait and switch.

What exactly is skills bridge?

Then why are vaccines being pushed over treatment

Agreed. Our losses if we intervened would be staggering. There’s no appetite. If the Chinese invade, we’d sit and watch while wringing our hands, just like we did when Ukraine was invaded by Russia.

If China were going to attack Taiwan, there’s never been a better time than now.

Any guesses on implications of Chinese military activity around Taiwan? I’ve never seen anything quite like it. if they were going to invade, which I’d always thought unlikely, there’s no better time. We just lost a war, no political appetite to pay the price of defending Taiwan militarily, etc. Perhaps it’s just harassment, but there’s no doubt the level of aggression is increasing.

Are you asking for a screenshot of the “false positive test being recalled?” I have no idea what rates are.

Criminally underreport? How do you know that? Illegally funding gain of function with tax money in a foreign country to hide from congress then lying to congress is an example of real criminally under reporting. We just received an email that the COVID tests we’ve been using for high schoolers (in Florida) are recalled due to inordinately high false positives. Is anyone going back in time to subtract all those false positives? No. This whole thing is bullshit. In a real pandemic you don’t spend all this time and effort trying to convince people a pandemic is happening. It’s apparent.

Lol. Sorry I’m late to the online party.

This hypothetical scenario based speculation is mildly interesting, but it’s quite clear CJCS is a disgrace for many reasons and must resign or be fired. I personally think Austin, Miley and McKenzie at a minimum no longer remain credible in their positions after the AFG debacle. Unfortunately we all know there will be no accountability.

Happy to talk if you want to Dm me. I know exactly what you feel, having done more of this than perhaps anyone in the AF. But I would challenge a few of your assumptions. The things you’ve done are not for nothing.

Lol. Liberals love to pretend they cherish your above stated core tenet. But there’s always an anti-freedom catch that forces others to comply. There’s a catch with owning guns, there’s a catch with free speech on campus, there’s a catch with medical care, posting on Facebook, abortion, church services, public schools, election law, immigration, etc. In fact there’s no subject where liberals actually live out your alleged core tenet. They’re just tyrannical hypocrites every time.

R9X: don’t believe the hype.

No. Don’t believe they hype, he was and is a political creature. That he was fired because his underlings were undisciplined and foolish does not equate to speaking truth to power and being willing to fall for it.

Controlled det. But it remains spicy here.

Not sure what you mean by Dunkirk or what your working evacuation has to do with this, but the ANA folded. There's no resistance. Maybe there will be in the future, but for now our investment in this military appears to be a total waste.

I've seen a few of your posts saying things like this. Not sure where you're getting your info, but it's completely wrong. The entire AFG military folded without a fight when the enemy hit Kabul.

I think we mostly agree: words mean things. Chinese military scientists made a virus more transmissible & deadly. That involves a high degree of intentionality as you say. We helped fund it (naively thinking “gain of function” is something other than weaponization). You might not like the nomenclature, but that is a bioweapon dude. Whether those scientist meant it to be a weapon or not I don’t know, but surely you don’t think PLA involvement was altruistic? That I think lab escape was accidental is irrelevant to my language. The only way this conversation is productive is if we all assume the best intentions of each other. It’s not hyperbole for me to label something a weapon when military scientists are intentionally increasing lethality. But I understand why you are sensitive to potential hyperbole; emotion poisons logic. If you want to call it something else that doesn’t bother me and I’d prefer to focus on areas we agree. All that said, what do you think we can do to China to combat what they’ve done to our economy? How can we fight back at something that has hurt us, and must be defended against, but does not look like the traditional war we have trained for? These are the questions that can unite us.

Quote for me exactly where I said “intentional bioweapon release.” Because I specifically said accidentally funded. No idea why it was released; but an accident is more plausible than intentional to me. Your entire post is predicated on me saying something I did not say.
