He's capable of parroting some correct information.
I don't understand the military involvement with vaccine distribution unless it's related to getting them to locations where health professionals are.

Larry Brilliant on How Well We Are Fighting Covid-19
Three months ago, the epidemiologist weighed in on what we must do to defeat this new threat. We went back to ask: How are we doing, and what comes next?

Is Being Human
Trump said Tuesday at a briefing that “the vaccines are coming, and they’re coming a lot sooner than anyone thought possible, by years.”
And the very next day ...
The Trump administration will pay Pfizer nearly $2 billion for a December delivery of 100 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine the pharmaceutical company is developing, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar announced Wednesday.
The U.S. could buy another 500 million doses under the agreement, Azar said.
“Now those would, of course, have to be safe and effective” and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, Azar said during an appearance on Fox News.
Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE announced separately that the agreement is with HHS and the Defense Department for a vaccine candidate the companies are developing jointly. It is the latest in a series of similar agreements with other vaccine companies.
The agreement is part of President Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed vaccine program, under which multiple COVID-19 vaccines are being developed simultaneously. The program aims to deliver 300 million doses of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine by January 2021.
Under the initiative, the government will speed development and buy vaccines — before they are deemed safe and effective — so that the medication can be in hand and quickly distributed once the FDA approves or authorizes its emergency use after clinical trials.
The FDA has told manufacturers it expects any vaccine to be at least 50% effective to qualify. But at a congressional hearing Tuesday, Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., said he was worried Trump could push the agency into prematurely clearing a vaccine.
Pfizer and BioNTech Announce an Agreement with U. S. Government for up to 600 Million Doses of mRNA-based Vaccine Candidate Against SARS-CoV-2
U. S. government placed an initial order of 100 million doses for $1.95 billion and can acquire up to 500 million additional dosesAmericans to receive the...
If the Food and Drug Administration OKs it ...
Let's do the math:
The vaccine would be free to Americans, according to the deal, though health care providers could charge to administer it.
“If this vaccine prevents disease after one use, we calculate a windfall of more than $15 billion revenue for Pfizer,” “We believe this sets the top price for a vaccine, with lower prices elsewhere. Need for repeated use would be the game changer.”
Earlier this week, Tazeen Ahmad, an analyst with BofA, estimated that BioNTech’s vaccine program is worth about $11.7 billion. That’s based on an estimated $36 net price per dose in the U.S., $30 per dose in the European Union and $12 per dose in the rest of the world.
So ... who is paying for it ?
"If the ongoing studies are successful, Pfizer and BioNTech expect to be ready to seek Emergency Use Authorization or some form of regulatory approval as early as October 2020," the company said in a statement.

It is to be paid for by a payroll tax cut ... a mentally opposing thing to reality!

Israeli firm developing 30-second coronavirus breath test
An Israeli company is developing a coronavirus breathalyzer test that gives results in 30 seconds, billing it as a 'front line' tool that can help restore a sense of normality during the pandemic.
www.ctvnews.ca
Why? The virus is now considered airborne/droplets and the test now is a nasal swab for immediacies sake....just wondering why nasal gunk is better than breathed air. Is it because it might not have time to circulate in our system?Interesting, but I think the reliability of the test would be fairly low.Israeli firm developing 30-second coronavirus breath test

My concern is more in terms of what is being detected rather than the sample collection.
Can you explain that?

‘Without early warning you can’t have early response’: How Canada’s world-class pandemic alert system failed
Months before the COVID-19 outbreak, the federal government’s early warning system went silent, just as it was needed most. The change left Canada poorly prepared as the virus began to spread rapidly around the world. Grant Robertson investigates

Looking good there, Indiginous Canadian.
Thats what fans are for.

Breaker 10-4. No Sars Cov 2 noticed. 10-4.
As are we all. Pretty good at parroting info. Esp aboot this virus
Or whatever Corporate Media wants us to think
Those who were supposed to look out for us failed miserably. Facebook "knew" we would need masks. I'm glad there are enuf schmart individuals that can actually help people. And sometimes these orgs like CDC and WHO can listen to these experts and give their ideas wider spread.
I advocate more fun
More tea parties
Dune buggy rides
More Canadians standing up for themselves instead of taking it in the butt all the time from govt and corps
More laughter

All is chaos ... because we can't get it together (complementarianism)?
The significant alternate calls it anarchy if it cannot be put in mercantile form ... so the collective can be sold! Thus down the tube syndrome ...
Royal and tyrannical flush? Supports donkeys and satyr!
This is easily inflamed by those hating in the federacy sending out profederate troopers! Stuff flies ...

Beware of Dim Tool, aka Tim Pool, alt-right influencer. Somebody’s alt-right is showing. I can smell the gaslight. I’m ignoring you again, Inanna.
Last edited:
Tim Pool sold his soul sometime after 2014 - apparently, there is more money in the “disaffected liberal” con gig than there is in maintaining integrity. Ever notice how all these red pilled former liberals claim to not like Trump, but instead of heavy hitting critique of Trump and the truly damaging right wing policy, they spend the majority of their time shitting all over the left? That’s the con of the alt-right. Post #4135 is like a bad omnibus being being snuck through by Inanna. A couple of worthy posts about unjust incarceration and death from covid, in a country run by a fascist - and then, posts by Tim Pool - who sometimes pretends he’s a liberal but has a following of alt-right fan-boys.
Inanna, you can’t butter me up with tributes to Michael Brooks, then try to sneak Tim Pool opinions in. I’m not buying it. If you stay here and do that, I’m gone. I’m not hanging around here for you to stress me out with your mind games. Unfortunately, you can do that to others here because most of them watch cable TV, don’t realize what’s going on on the internet, and they don’t realize how politically influential these people are to those under 40.

All things are politicized and divined by the power of fear of knowing and nosing about ... in libertarians that believe they should be free to do anything they wish to conserve the status quo ... the other end of the political line.
A good read on stoicism may enlighten ... but perhaps given the solidarity ... its not Toby! May be due to colliding anarchy and chaos ...
