No outbreak just power play.
o/t a bit but ?
Wow.
This could do with further investigation.
Was a comment on the Mail article linked to for this page.
What I find fascinating is that they keep telling us that gain of function research is vital because we need to learn how to defend ourselves against super viruses, but in the meantime lab grown viruses are more commonplace than actual viruses.
More commonly dangerous, our entire evolution has been predicated on surviving attack from natural viri but that is why novel manmade ones are potentially so dangerous.
Not a scientist, just sayin .
that they keep telling us that gain of function research is vital
For “gain-of-function”, read “biological warfare”.
I think this will turn out to be the truth, but what is Faucis gain as a traitor?
As far as can be seen his institute contributed a measly $600,000 towards research, that is known about.
I don’t think you can take anything China says at face value.
I’d imagine this is about making the world terrified once more.
Does China have permission for this latest outbreak because Lord Bill of the Gates of Hell has said his next pandemic will be smallpox?
Most outbreaks happening in Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, not densely populated and not Han Chinese either
Not Chinese at all from their perspective.
The Uigers seem to be getting it easy, probably because lots of them are already locked up for re-education.
Same Goes for the Tibetans. Not Chinese, minority in their own country because forced Sinification
Free Tibet!
Much like March 2020, China claim they’re having an outbreak and having to lock down in order to convince the useful idiots in the west that they need to do the same.
Staggeringly, the unvaccinated are now being blamed for all cause excess mortality!
UNREAL! Look who Health Minister blames CCP Lockdown Deaths for!
Tomorrow’s headline, COP26 mandates compulsory covid vaccination to tackle climate change.
China’s role in the fraud has been to provide the optics; If China claims to be in the midst of a deadly outbreak, then it’s because the pandemic narrative needs a boost in the US. Cue footage of extreme containment measures, hazmat suits and whole city streets being disinfected. Cameras rolling, ACTION!
When the revolution comes, the revolting masses need to forget the politicians & cut the head off the chicken, go for the billionaires!
Talking of animal farm… dis funneey!

‘You Can Deny It All You Want’: Rand Paul Rips Fauci Over Gain-Of-Function Research
Things could always be worse for us British purebloods.We could be in Austria. We could be in Lithuania. We could be in Victoria. We could be in China.
Fake News?
Dr. Reiner Fuellmich- The Corona Plandemic and the International Legal Approach Lawyer’s Committee for 9/11 Inquiry
Summarizes his case.
Oh my. I sure hope no government follows their lead in locking people down. It doesn’t seem to work very well. Hope someone at the WHO and Westminster take note.
The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015. One of the 3 most important drugs in human history: Aspirin, Penicillin, and Ivermectin. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Lol. Anyone not seeing this for what it is (“lockdowns are not enough, we need to vaccinate everyone and their dog”) is daydreaming.

Can we believe anything in the media these days, editing is just too good.
Hmm. This delta variant seems to be hanging around a lot longer than the other variants…
Looks like the CCP is oriental equivalent of nutty New Zealand and over-the-top Oz when it comes to COVID. All this kerfuffle over a total, out of a population of nearly one and a half billion, of 62 alleged infections, according to the latest Worldometers COVID report. Funny how, irrespective, of their alleged political ideologies, they’re all singing off the same authoritarian songsheet – presumably with lyrics courtesy of Herr Schwab and the oligarchs running the Great Reset.
I doubtthe Daily Gawp bothered to publish this graphic, which shows the horrendous death toll from the resurgent plague now supposedly ravaging the Communist superstate (which, since they kicked off the pandemic in early 2020, has produced far more billionaires than the US and UK combined!)
Wow, 65 new cases. There’s more people in my town of 15k people who’ve got it at the moment, and it’s otherwise business as usual here. Just goes to show what happens when you bully and coerce a naive, weak public into doing as the authorities want, whatever the reality of the situation.
PS. My area has had more people die in road traffic accidents over the past month than of COVID. Let that sink in.
