. . . What's this BS about a vaccine coming out soon? Just hype or is this for real? . . . =====================
To address the vaccine comment:
The anti-viral vaccines are tricky, at best.
The Swine Flu vaccine caused more deaths than swine flu itself . . . oops.
The SARs vaccine cost billions of USD without yielding a viable vaccine. Someone made a lot of $$$$$.
The CV-19 vaccine: whilst many are in the research/development and/or field testing stage, how many
to date have been administered that (1) worked AND (2) did not have serious side effects? Answer: zero.
Will there be a viable CV-19 vaccine? Unlikely.
On 13 July 2020, the CDC admitted in its document, “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel”
on Page 39, in the section titled, “Performance Characteristics” the following:
“Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available, assays [diagnostic tests] designed for
detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA."
Translation: the CDC does not have a sample [isolate] of CV-19.
If no sample,
(1) how are you making an accurate and reliable RT-PCR diagnostic panel?*
(2) how are you manufacturing a vaccine?
* In 1993, Dr. Kary Mullis [biochemist] won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his invention of "the PCR method."
Dr. Mullis was very clear the PCR test was to be used ONLY for Research and NOT for Diagnostic purposes.
The current worldwide usage of the PCR test is for Diagnostic purposes.
This usage has failed to satisfy Koch's Postulate.
