Some gene therapy. You all were talking about Pfizer and Moderna as Gene therapy I thought Cool. I hope I transform into a hot guy like Fabio! Damn! I must've of ordered the placebo by mistake.What we keep referring to as vaccine is legally not vaccine in most cases. Calling them a vaccine outside this 'pandemic' would have cost a doctor his license prior to this last year. Many of these are rebranded gene therapy, a dangerous technology frought with long term side effects. But hey, it's experimental so your health insurance company is off the hook if anything goes wrong.
Question is, whos device?RePORT ⟩ RePORTER (nih.gov)
General Electric has been awarded the grant by the government health agency), as the NIH looks to fund development projects for “novel, non-traditional approaches to identify the current SARS-CoV-2 virus.”
The project is to create a device, small enough to fit inside a phone or watch, that can “directly capture, detect, and identify” COVID-19 virus particles. The idea is that the “bioreceptors” would be able to detect particles of the virus, and able to differentiate between them and other particles they come into contact with.
Once the sensors have determined the presence of the virus, they would “automatically” transmit this information “to a touchscreen or other digital device.”
Also on the bright side of this, we are going to end up with the single largest sample group for an experimental drug in history. The downside is that the animal trials had a really high death rate when the cat, ferret, rat, etc next encountered a different strain of coronavirus. Basically, the possibility exists that the common cold might kill you because supposedly it can confuse your immune system and lead to it attacking every cell in your body.What we keep referring to as vaccine is legally not vaccine in most cases.

Several reasons.So, why is this different from a natural immune response?
I'll check on your answer
Do you see the irony in this response? Covid, with a better than 99% survival rate, has had you in "sky is falling" mode for the better part of 14 months now.And the sky could fall in tomorrow, almost got hit by an asteroid this week, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
BWA HA HA. I would hardly consider my mode sky is falling.Do you see the irony in this response? Covid, with a better than 99% survival rate, has had you in "sky is falling" mode for the better part of 14 months now.
Alrighty then. Enjoy your first meal at Mom & Pops Diner since last February.BWA HA HA. I would hardly consider my mode sky is falling.
Yes, I think it was handled shoddily by the reality star guy. Yes, I got pissed at the fools who think they don't need to wear a mask. Yes, I think that closing down and canceling sports was the right decision at the time. Most left minded folks I know agree with me, as well as a lot of right minded folks.
Did I hide in basement -- eff no. I've gone to the store, Joanns, etc. I've tried to do it in ways that enhance my ability to stay healthy. I've never quaked in fear over C-19 but, unlike a lot of posters on here and people in town I know, I recognized the potential for C-19 cost hub his life or me mine and tried to mitigate those chances.
Yeah, you're right (snark alert) I was in "sky is falling" mode for the last 14 months - - NOT!

alrighty then, I will. I know very few people who have been in a restaurant. Take away yes, but indoor seating now. Our C-19 rates have been much higher hear (3rd per capita in the USA for quite a while) so perhaps our circumstances are different. People are just now starting to head back to restaurants in any number. I drive by a lot of restaurants running errands and there are just not cars there. Those that have drive throughs have had good drive through traffic but their lobbies and in-door seating areas have been pretty much barren. I can only think of one restaurant in town that had much in the way of floor traffice since all restaurants reopened and we have always done take out from them. Too many tables in too small an area. I don't like being elbowed by the guy at the next table while I'm trying to eat.Alrighty then. Enjoy your first meal at Mom & Pops Diner since last February.![]()
Perhaps in GI that is true. But where I live in southwest Nebraska that isnt true at all. I hardly know anyone who HASNT been out to eat.alrighty then, I will.
