Yes, the cure was worse than the disease. The pandemic might well have been a plan. The CCP is the EVIL EMPIRE of our generation. If you don't agree, I have to say you're a fool. You might be a nice person. One can be a fool and be very nice (just go to Minnesota). CHINA IS RULED BY LIARS. You either know this or you're naïve, and naivete in adults is an unforgivable sin because it allows evil to flourish. DO NOT BELIEVE CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like the fake canine respiratory virus. Media vying for clicks and and in this case politicians posturing on hysteria.

Perhaps sharing public health data should be a condition to allow flights from your country to land in other countries and for a shipping container to be unloaded. China depends an the world economically. The world needs to set expectations if that is to continue

This is nothing but scare tactics brought to you by the same people who lied to us about Covid-19. Dr Peter McCullough has some real good useable information regarding this outbreak in China. There are effective treatments. He is in substack under courageous discourse.

The shots are proven to weaken immunity. This is the result. Everyone will be more susceptible to everything now.

This sounds much more like a pneumonia or flu than like COVID. Southeast China has the largest collection of poultry and pigs in the world, and those domesticated animals are the natural reservoirs of such illnesses, although not SARS (which came originally from wild bats, whatever engineering it was later subjected to).

If so, then it needs to be taken seriously, but more along the lines of a flu pandemic, like 2009, 1968, or 1957. Because Hong Kong is now under CCP control, we now longer have the free flow of information about southeast China we once did.

The WHO was a disaster with COVID. What makes you think they will be any better next time? Why would we let the same people who made disastrous decisions take the lead again?

A similar outbreak is occurring in parts of northern Europe, where the officials are quite transparent about the causes of the pneumonia which are apparently not novel.

In any case, one thing we learned during covid is that the ensuing panic and the response ruined many lives while saving very few. Let's not do more of the same.

I actually find the official narrative believable. The Seattle Children's hospital was packed to the gills in the fall of 2022 after COVID restrictions loosened. My 1 year old stayed in an exam room because they were out of normal inpatient beds. Respiratory issues from RSV, Parainfluenza, and other viruses overwhelmed the region.

They might be lying, but if so they chose a believable lie. The thing China is avoiding is that this was a predictable result of their draconian lockdowns.

Exactly what I think is going on. This is the same surge of respiratory illnesses that were seen in most Western countries in the winter season after the end of lockdowns. It was a predictable effect of children losing their natural immunity which is developed and sustained by constant contact with other children.

The antibiotic resistance, on the other hand, is concerning. But always has been.

Yah I'm subscribed to his substack.

I wonder if he got removed from the freepress although I would be surprised

Nope, he commented on Peace is for Suckers this morning and at some point was confronted by Comprof, as usual. Comedy at it’s finest!

Hell no. Let the public health freaks dig around in plane poo all day long. I give exactly zero fox.

Yes, it’s an election year so we should hang onto our seats for a rerun. BUT, of all the things that were learnable about Covid was not just about the west enjoying taking on the CCP approach to total control and unnecessary lockdown of healthy innocents and damage to our economy and culture. Learnable was the DEI time waster about the Left crying how bad it was halt travel to and from China and other nations experiencing Covid , ignoring the normal approach to public health is to quarantine the sick, not the healthy regardless of demographic characteristics such as race or residency.

The problem at hand is there may be a rerun of of a bad and contagious disease within China, the country in which they and the Fauccis of the world were experimenting with gain of function for killer diseases. This at the same time the Biden administration keeps our borders open without the slightest concern about many things including the health of those who enter and then are flown by our government to every corner of the USA. Election interference can take many forms.

I'm on day 13 of a flu with respiratory cough and congestion. It definitely feels like a double whammy. ( it's not covid or rsv).

Seems similar to what children faced here in the US in the winter of 2022 as we began to socialize more freely. That's my hope at least.
