unless the aliens come and take us on fantastic trips around the galaxy.

You never know, with all these UFOs flying about these days!

Well whatever the situation is, it seems to be largely working. Obviously I follow the Czech situation quite closely, and after a chaotic winter/spring, they recorded 0 deaths this week and I think people in their 20s and 30s are getting the first dose now.

I should add that they're also opening up international travel a lot quicker than we are. They've struck bilateral agreements with most neighbouring countries, including Germany and Poland.

But Europe doesn't have the Indian variant yet which is what the discussion you joined was about. If it does reach there it's the vaccine that's going to beat it.

This is interesting:

Indeed. While I can understand restricting travel from red countries, doing so from other places seems to be purely down to politics rather than science.

That doesn't constitute the Indian variant being an issue on the continent

I'm just saying it was detected a long time ago but hasn't spread. I dare say travel to/from India is much less on mainland Europe than it is here, which perhaps helps to explain that.

You would imagine at some stage every variant will rock up in most if not all countries being a globalised world we live in.

Hancock has come out with this:

"This showed vaccines were working and that the link between infection and hospitalisation had been severed but not broken"

Someone is going to have to tell me if my understanding of severed is completely wrong or not...

Big Pharma has a lot of blood on its hands when it comes to AIDS/HIV as do Al Gore, Bill Clinton and George Bush. There are a lot of parallels with the current covid vaccine situation.

These drugs can be made cheaply and help the World. But Pharma stands in the way.

It wouldn't surprise me if they had a cure (or major helping drugs) for cancer already, but they make more money from the treatment than the cure!

What I don't get is why are scientists dicking around with these things in labs? The US/China will have their fingers jointly in this make no mistake.

If the world government's dont stand up and put an end to this its only a matter of time before the next one finds its way out and wreaks havoc on the world.

After all the chaos and economic damage this has caused, why wouldn’t a state want to have a defence against it / be able to weaponise something like this?
