More Covid news to scare people with

I am not worried about me I am worried about others. I am once again truly amazed by your post. There is a relatively new question you should ask yourself:
What would Jesus do?

Why are you worried about other's if they're double, triple vaxxed etc?

If you're worried about other's don't you think it would be better to stay at home, knowing full well that the vaxxed can still spread the virus?

I don't drink and drive. I don't speed. I obey all traffic regulations. I'm a careful driver (as opposed to my younger self). But I know as a fact that I could, with a moments inattention, have an accident and cause the death of someone. Someone is doing that right now somewhere in the world as you read this sentence.

But even though it's a possibility, however slim, I feel entitled to drive on public roads because I take all the precautions that it's reasonable for me to take.

Likewise it is with Covid. I've had all the injections I can have and I had them as soon as they were available. I've isolated at home for two weeks when it was required when my wife came home from overseas. I wear a mask whenever it's required. I social distance when it's applicable. Therefore I feel entitled, and I am allowed, to come and go as I please to bars, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, gyms, anywhere where people gather.

You haven't. So if it should be better for anyone to stay at home, for the sake of the health of their fellow citizens, it's you.

There are people that for genuine health reasons cannot get vaxed. I am even worried about the ignorant and foolish people that are convinced by liars and charlatans not to get vaxed. I value all lives. Not just the lives of people that agree with me. I have a feeling that if Jesus were alive today he would have valued the lives of everyone as well.

I find it fascinating the number of Christians who think 'stand up for your rights' is a Christian message and that 'give up some of your rights out of concern for others' is anti-Christian.

The variants are more contagious, but much less deadly, such as the Omicron variant.

Please don't post information about matters of life and death when you don't know what you're talking about. The Delta variant (to the limited extent we can tell) is about twice as likely to cause severe disease, and therefore twice as likely to kill you, as earlier versions of the virus. Since it also infects more people, it is much more deadly. That's why thousands of people are dying of it every day. As for Omicron, no one knows yet whether it is less virulent.

The S-C-2 virus was modified in a Wuhan lab, where 4 genes from the HIV virus - the genes that allow the HIV virus to infect humans - were inserted in it.

Completely wrong. There are no genes from HIV in SARS-CoV-2.

chad kincham said:

The virus is starting to revert back to its wild form before it was molested in a weapons lab, so it’s becoming more like the cold virus that the corona virus family belongs to -more contagious but less deadly - like a cold virus, and less like a bioweapon.

Click to expand...

It's not reverting, it's changing more and more from its wild form to better infect humans. It wasn't created in a weapons lab. Corona viruses aren't naturally cold viruses: the family includes two of the deadliest viruses that infect humans, those causing MERS and SARS, both far more deadly than COVID-19.

Fascinated? More like disappointed for me. The Bible speaks very little on personal freedoms, but speaks a lot on the concern for others and the spreading of fear and misinformation. I'm disappointed in my fellow Christians for messaging things that do not stand up for the Truth that is in Jesus.

Hate to surprise you but our God is NOT the god of constitutional freedoms.

I've spent the last decade+ being conned by the medical industry and big pharma, and I see many, many other's on the same vicious cycle. I've taken more medications etc that are ineffective than I can begin to count. The fact that there were various breakouts as soon as restrictions were lifted for the vaccinated tells me all I need to know about the vaccine.

if you lot want to put your faith in Moloch worshippers, go for it. We're going into a third year now and if you can't see this is more about power/control than anything else, I hate to say it, but you are blind.

The ones that are being controlled at the moment are actually the unvaccinated. They can't do this or that, they can't go here or there...they have a number of restrictions placed upon them. That'll include you. On the other hand...

And it's a little odd that a few posts ago you said that you weren't bothered about the restrictions that you were under. Now you're complaining about it? Which is it?

Well, okay, if you don't want to know how well the vaccine works, what it's good for, or, well, pretty much anything about it, that's your choice. Some of us prefer knowing things to not knowing them.

I see a lot of public health people trying desperately to save the lives and well-being of those who are too blinded by political lies to do the most basic things to save themselves.

NY Post:

On Wednesday, the Delta variant became America’s dominant COVID strain. Yet it’s no cause for panic: The numbers — especially in Britain, which Delta hit hard — show it causes far fewer hospitalizations and deaths, while vaccines remain highly effective against it.

Most media hype the fear: “Americans should be more concerned about the Delta variant,” a Forbes piece declares. “Scientists have good reasons to sound the alarm,” New York magazine insists. “It’s hard to understand how worried to be,” a CNN analysis claims.

No, actually, the numbers are clear. Yes, Delta, first found in India, does appear more contagious than the Alpha variant first found in Britain — about 50 percent more transmissible, which is why it’s outpaced Alpha there.

Rising cases even prompted Prime Minister Boris Johnson to delay the end of restrictions. But the huge case spike didn’t lead to similar hospitalization or death spikes, so Britain’s back on track to lift regulations July 19.

Source: Don't buy the hysteria: The Delta variant is actually less dangerous

This is exactly what I stated: more CONTAGIOUS but less DEADLY.

Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag by Prashant Pradhan, Ashutosh Kumar Pandey, Akhilesh Mishra, Parul Gupta, Praveen Kumar Tripathi, Manoj Balakrishnan Menon, James Gomes, Perumal Vivekanandan and Bishwajit Kundu

Abstract:
We are currently witnessing a major epidemic caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019- nCoV). The evolution of 2019-nCoV remains elusive. We found 4 insertions in the spike glycoprotein (S) which are unique to the 2019-nCoV and are not present in other coronaviruses. Importantly, amino acid residues in all the 4 inserts have identity or similarity to those in the HIV- 1 gp120 or HIV-1 Gag. Interestingly, despite the inserts being discontinuous on the primary amino acid sequence, 3D-modelling of the 2019-nCoV suggests that they converge to constitute the receptor binding site. The finding of 4 unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV, all of which have identity /similarity to amino acid residues in key structural proteins of HIV-1 is unlikely to be fortuitous in nature. This work provides yet unknown insights on 2019-nCoV and sheds light on the evolution and pathogenicity of this virus with important implications for diagnosis of this virus.

The evidence is those viruses were genetically enhanced in biowarfare labs to be more deadly - called ‘Gain of Function’ enhancement.

The variants are the viruses mutating back towards their original state, trying to shed genetic insertions, such as the 4 HIV genes that were inserted.

The more they revert, the more contagious they are - being part of a family of highly contagious cold viruses, but the less deadly they are- since cold viruses are less deadly than the version that was produced in a lab in Wuhan.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus was deliberately released from a Wuhan bioweapons lab in China.

Thanks, but I saw the preprint when it came out in early 2020. It was an absolute joke of a study -- that's why it was retracted. Those supposed insertions? You can find sequence more similar to them in insects, mammals, and bacteria than in HIV.

Why do you believe this retracted study rather than the rapid refutations of it? Have you read either the study or the refutations?

Interesting. What are "amino acid residues"?

EDIT: I'm sure you are aware of this but I decided to not bother reading a Linked in account for anything about science (funny stuff!)
Instead, I went directly to the scientfic study. Where was it printed?
It wasn't. It went only to preprint.
And what happenned there to it?

Could you at least keep the different stories separate? One hypothesis is that experiments at the Wuhan viral lab made a precursor to SARS-CoV-2 more dangerous and it accidentally escaped. That would be gain of function research. That's a real possibility, although not a very likely one. Another idea is that the virus is an engineered bioweapon, which is simply nuts. Besides the fact that nothing about the virus looks engineered, it's completely useless as a bioweapon. There's no reason in the world that any government would engineer such a thing. (There are plenty of things they might engineer, but this isn't one of them.)

Again, complete fantasy. There are no HIV inserts, the claimed insertion points were in a part of the SARS-CoV-genome that isn't experiencing deletions, and the virus is steadily mutating away from it's original state (like all viruses). I'd bet any amount of money that you've never looked at viral genome sequence.

Please, take this to the conspiracy theory forum -- it has no business anywhere else, or any relation to actual virology.
