That's right, so what is your point? I'll bet you didn't read the article because it was too much for you to understand. Was this another of you reactions to trigger words as you usually do?

An interesting article...

Not sure I would want to hold Sweden up as an example.... They have a much higher mortality rate than the US (one of few that can claim that) and that's with Swedes living in less urban areas and tending to be healthier than Americans...

Not only that, but if we go by current data America has only had around 1% of the population infected... Even if were generous and double that, that leaves 98% uninfected... Far from even the authors acclaimed herd immunity...

He also neglected to mention side effects of encountering c***d and that individuals can become reinfected...

Finally, he failed to differentiate between the different strains of c***d... It appears the Asian strain is less infectious but far more deadly, while the European strain is more infectious but less deadly... Which would indicate that Sweden lost greater numbers per capita to a less deadly strain due to its policies...

In 2005, Daniel Kalla's novel P******c was released. This is not mainstream science fiction, rather it is a fictional story built upon existing medical sciences dealing with v***l pathogens.

Full-time doctor and first-time novelist Kalla injects a frightening dose of reality into this tale of biological terrorism. Dr. Noah Haldane of the World Health Organization has repeatedly warned that the human race is due for a deadly new v***s, similar to the 1919 Spanish flu that k**led 20 million people in six months. So when a mysterious new flu strain is reported in China's Gansu province, Haldane isn't surprised he's called to investigate. He's shocked to learn that the new disease—dubbed Acute Respiratory Collapse Syndrome (ARCS) and considered far more deadly than SARS, k*****g one in every four people it infects—is intentionally being spread to London, British Columbia and Chicago. In an age when every single person in the world is connected by three commercial flights or fewer, a k**ler bug can travel much faster than the flu of 1919.

Especially when someone is spreading the v***s on purpose...

In addition, Richard Preston's two books - The Hot Zone and Crisis in the Red Zone - document the Ebola outbreaks in Africa and the failure of the medical sciences to contain it quickly. Crisis in the Red Zone is a chilling read simply because it really happened. Preston also speculates on the mysteries of v***ses and their pathogenic mysteries into the future.

Nature often does wh**ever is necessary in order to make the most number of experts wrong.
Richard Preston

These books, based on empirical medical science, are without a doubt frightening and are sufficient proof that no one can be held accountable for a p******c except those responsible for its intentional release.

In other words, all the l*****t hype about holding president Trump accountable for thousands of deaths is a blatant immoral and unforgivable lie.

There is a lot of good poop there and it all says to move on and tell these control freaks, Mayors and Governors to go to hell and remember to v**e them out at the first opportunity. They won't listen to facts, only fears and what they fear the most is loosing credibility and the right to brag about how they saved us.

I read both of the Richard Preston books. Going on 25-30 years old for The Hot Zone, it is a great read if you think the government can't screw up or doesn't have a hand in all of this and the possible creation of more infectious diseases despite the supposed moratorium on such production and research.
