Factcheckers shoot Truth Serum Boosters over the bow of latest Wuhan Conspiracy Theory.

Nov 2019 Wuhan spillover event results in infectious Deadly Disease outbreak.
Requiring Closures & Year long Expert disease management of infected patients.
Only we're not talking about Covid...are we!

tbb was researching Global Drug shortage...
Which not so oddly traces back to November 2019 Spillover event in very same Evil Empire.

So what's the link?

Turns out only Nations that suck off Putin's Power Teat can afford to be Drug Lords.
Most western nations can't pay Putin's Power Bill for their Mass Drug Habits.
Multi Drug Nations have hassles with Multi Mass Poisoning of local Lake or City...(Bummer!)
This results in Cities or Nations of Drug resistant Populace....

Example : Follow outbreaks of TB and you trace the Drug Chain back to Big Pharma Epicentres...
Just hitch a ride on the Silk Road thru India to China....&...
The crew guessed it ...destination Wuhan...42 Big Pharmas oozing out 30% of MDR TB HQ.

MDR = Multi Drug Resistant (Mass Drug producing Regions & / or Wealthy Drug dependent Markets)

This Wuhan TB Disease mutates inside it's host then spills over to outbreak & close a school.
Nope! No Pangolin Pudding or Exotic Tasty Fruity Bats or Evil Drug Mules...
Just more of the same everyday highly addictive MDR Wuhan outbreaks.

Forward Quote: "There were 'few reports' of MDR TB Outbreak in China, especially during Covid."

Story goes...
Doped out Wuhan Dad was continually being treated for TB from 2007 > 2011 > 2013...on & on & on....
Here we see typical MDR ...the disease fights off the drug & keeps mutating as infectious MDR strain.

Nov 2019 Dad's TB strain has mutated to become strong enough to seek a new host...his Daughter!
The Daughter contracts same 2007 Cough & attends school until 15 Jan 2020 (Holiday / Lockdown )
Family are not keen on her attending Doctors for her common cold...so just grab cough medicine!

Daughter complies with strict Lockdown
10 March 2020 His Daughter complains of Left Side Chest pain when breathing.
We assume her Doctor sends her for Tests...(Next)
17th April 2020 His 17y/o Daughter visits Specialist Centre & Xray confirms TB.

Close Contact Tracing Team were called in & confirmed an outbreak
Infection rate centred from MDR Dad > Girl > Class mates...20[+] 82 + 1 Staff / 1other.

Recall that the origin of outbreak had been brewing undiagnosed as MDR TB since 2007.
This slipped thru for 13 years in the World TB HQ to then shut down school mid pandemic .

Stop & think of Hellish TB/Cov2 Twindemic we may have inherited from exact same time & place!
Yes! People...this Pandemic was simply a case or town away from being twice the World Crisis.

Only now was Dad finally diagnosed for the origin of exact same 2007-2020 MDR Outbreak Strain
Wuhan Viral Experts spent the next Year mopping this up...Shh! (Sounds familiar don't it!)

Wuhan has most Labs & MDR strains brewing endless Viral Strains for Decades future past!
Why do Experts need to source the origin when ya could just turn on yer tap for next week's strain.

lol, AndyM. But Supa's article demonstrates it perfectly.

One the one hand you have a bunch of "scientists" presenting their "science" "demonstrating" that covid was man-made in and leaked from a lab.

And on the other you have a group of "scientists" presenting their "science" "demonstrating" that covid had a natural origin.

Each side believes with conviction that they are correct. It even degenerates onto a mob-like situation of sides claiming that they have the most amount of "scientists" on their side so they are correct since they have the "scientific consensus".

That's not science. None of the people making these claims are scientists.

That's political warfare using the science worshipping method as a tool to advance their agenda. That's basically what the article is arguing.

I'd call it the "science wars".

At best, and in the interest of being scientific, all these researchers can do is present their research neutrally as potential partial evidence, and not claim anything conclusive.

Don't use a phone.

If you want to use uncertainty over Covid as a reason to freak out over science, (as opposed to freaking out over something understandable, like politics or neoliberalism) then don't be part of the "cult", don't trust the experts, go and live a medieval existence and abandon all these proven things that were brought about by the long and arduous application of science.

Burls, a couple of things.
First I'm well aware of the existence of vested interests at the highest levels of government - the LNP when it was in power was riddled with ex-employees from fossil fuel groups and media companies.
It was actually quite unclear where big business finished and government started.
Unfortunately that's where we're at as a country and i doubt Labor is much different.
Next - for what it's worth I couldn't really give a fuck about the Covid virus. After the first month or two in 2020 it became clear that Covid wasn't a concern to me. I was vaxxed twice for work and that was that.
Should I have protested against draconian measures in place in Melbourne?
Maybe, but it would have been pointless.
I did my thing, lived my life and told everyone I met that if you vote for either of the two majors, you're entrenching this corrupt two-party power.
Finally - I'll say again, I have a lot of dis-ease (haha) about the way the Covid situation was handled.
But I believe the risks of Covid far outweighed the risk of the vaccine. Nothing I've seen hints at anything to the contrary.
And now we've moved on to excess mortality or whatever.
My personal jury is out on that one, there could well be more to the story.
Maybe we'll find out, maybe we won't, and we'll move on to dissecting some other aspect.
Critical thinking is essential but the problem remains - where are we getting our info and who can we trust? As far as I'm concerned, the answer to that is not some freak on Insta, or Youtube, or Tiktok.
And going down the rabbit hole of rejecting science more broadly is a bad idea, and only makes us easier prey to the bullshit artists out there.

"We live in an age when a high public health bureaucrat can, without irony, announce to the world that if you criticize him, you are not simply criticizing a man. You are criticizing “the science” itself. The irony in this idea of “science” as a set of sacred doctrines and beliefs is that the Age of Enlightenment, which gave us our modern definitions of scientific methodology, was a reaction against a religious clerisy that claimed for itself the sole ability to distinguish truth from untruth. The COVID-19 pandemic has apparently brought us full circle, with a public health clerisy having replaced the religious one as the singular source of unassailable truth..."

No one here is rejecting science, quite the contrary.

In saying that you're either misunderstanding the conversation or intentionally engaging in further information warfare.

The point is what we're seeing going on around us, particularly during and relating to covid, is overwhelmingly not science.

What we're seeing is biased, often fraudulent, misuse and abuse of tools and techniques of science mixed in with tools and techniques of information warfare for furthering institutionalised confirmation bias, manufactured certainty, manufactured consent, "consistent messaging", government policy responses and agendas, political warfare, corporate commercial agendas, culture wars, foreign policy agendas, etc.

Actual science is still out there being done...somewhere...(well I do it in my employment every day)...but it's overwhelmingly not what we're exposed to in the media, and I would say nor being produced in the research output of academia, etc.

Exactly.
No one is saying anything about rejecting science.

It’s about questioning, not rejecting it.

And trying to say ‘we have nothing else’ is a curious presumption and a dangerous absolute… maybe a ‘better alternative’ that is ‘given’ will only create a different rabbit hole to obscure an actual discovery from real data and real evidence.

Who is doing the giving ?

Reject manipulation.
Reject coercion.
Reject the denial of proven falsehoods and encourage accountability for state sanctioned and medically endorsed deception.

The ability to distinguish truth from untruth will be determined by direct experience - not through what anybody else tries to tells you.

So, while the west still pretends that China continues to fudge covid stats and data and we try and cry foul of lack of transparency and accuse others of forced propaganda etc. - some have conveniently decided to ignore that our own methods of media driven ‘expert’ advice is just as contrived and misleading.

Misleading as in ‘the vaccines prevent transmission’.
Contrived as in ‘we don’t do gain of function research but spend enormous amounts of money providing resources to foreign states so that they can do so on our behalf’.

The list of questions continue to grow.
Critical thinking is discouraged.
…As the actual evidence continues to mount up against the narrative ;)

There is a way to go yet ;)
