the situation with the COVID vaccines of different targeting.

 The status of the COVID vaccine is very NOT ready. Looking at the versions of the vaccine, each targeting a different part of the virus, one can see that there are still many candidate versions, and even less for human trials. Molecular platform here means the part of the virus targeted by a particular vaccine (from Wikipedia):

The vaccine is just NOT something that could be developed in a year, like a pharmaceutical, let's say a simple variant of an antibiotic.

About a 100 years ago, after the tobacco mosaic virus was discovered, the first opinions back then were ominously right: vaccines against viruses are generally futile. But the money hungry revolving-door government employees are ready to convince the governments to shell out millions to finance the schemes.

The Alternative Medicine Missed This Big Time

At last I found the incident from the 80s that I always wanted to use to illustrate a point. 
Innocent public felt sick, not knowing that burgers started to contain a thyroid hormone, without any fault to the meat industry (though due to the stop of kosher meat production at a plant) - link below. 
It was a heartland, small town area, no big city quacks and alternative medicine clowns.

What if these got involved? 
Homeopaths: "this is due to industrial pollution. We have just the right medicine - like cures like. We have a pill just for you, PCB, heavy metals, whatever"
Reflexologists: people are getting hypnotized by TV into bad posture, resulting in muscle knots"
Dr Mercola: "we have a medicine that ancient Chinese doctors used for centuries against pains and aches due to viruses and bacteria that attack us every day. It's called Snakol Serpentinium. Just 10USD a bottle of 30 will cure the entire family"
Acupuncturists:"it's only fibromyalgia."

This Onion Has No Magnetic Powers Over Microbes: An Experiment.


Ever sicne Internet's early days, when it comprised Usenet forums, till the advent of smartphones and Whatsapp, this tale has been circulating for years claiming that onions had saved a farmer from the influenza outbreak that killed 40 million people in 1919. A miracle onion that cured someone had been brought to a doctor in Oregon. He placed it under a microscope and saw tons of bacteria and viruses.
Mind you, that doctor must have been very rich considering the times, since microscopes were extremely expensive. Doctors back then did not have the time to research bacteria, because it was a subject of a cutting edge research in the academia of that time, and was referred to as a microbe. It was only in 1920 when Paul Ehrlich was able to use a microscope to see the results of his experiments of staining bacteria to study their morphology.
Viruses, thousands times smaller than bacteria,  have been visualized in a fuzzy form for the first time ever in the 1930s in Nazi Germany, where an X-Ray scanning microscope was developed for this purpose. The scanning microscope was the size of a room. Today viruses are looked at through an electron scanning microscope, which is the size of a family refrigerator. The cheapest electron mcirsocpe, according to online queries, costs just above $1 million.

The following experiment to see how an onion would absorb viruses and bacteria, hopefully by seeing its change from white to the ominous black, according to many ancient accounts. it's better to carry out an experiment:
A 1/3 of a freshly cut onion, and different parts of it, were saved in a cup. The cup was placed near a chicken which produces excrement many times a day. Chicken excrement is known to contain more bacteria, some of it dangerous and some famously parasitic, like Campylobacter and viruses than other animals.
Since Feb 16 the cup was photographed 10 times or so (obvious from the time stamps of the photographs) The onion changed color to gentle beige, kept drying, then was dry as a cardboard.
The experiment made the chicken coop smell like a kitchen.
The onion did not kill the chicken, which has kept on laying eggs, which have been eaten.
The photos below are from my own experiment's original photos. They are at this Google Photos collection of my own https://photos.app.goo.gl/9izraUoWiAhqRkHYA.

How Covid-19 does not stand up vs. the past stats.

June 2019, well before the coronoa virus pandemic, HELEN BRANSWELL wrote this article for Stanews,

The last pandemic was a ‘quiet killer.’ Ten years after swine flu, no one can predict the next one.

(https://www.statnews.com/2019/06/11/h1n1-swine-flu-10-years-later/)

some excerpts:
Since it started circulating in the spring of 2009, H1N1 has infected about 100 million Americans, killing about 75,000 and sending 936,000 to the hospital, the CDC estimates. Another virus, H3N2, is responsible for more infections, but “in terms of the severity, H1 is kind of this quiet killer,” said Dr. Daniel Jernigan, head the CDC’s flu division.
study published in 2013 suggested between 123,000 and 200,000 people globally may have died as a result of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. 
From the US CDC:

1968 Pandemic (H3N2 virus). The estimated number of deaths was 1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the United States.

1957-1958 Pandemic (H2N2 virus). The estimated number of deaths was 1.1 million worldwide and 116,000 in the United States.

1918 Pandemic (H1N1 virus). It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.

So it all makes this covid-19 thing look whipped up by the media. It is all so convenient for its governing politics and governments.

Hemp to rescue milk prices.

Low milk prices have farmers concerned, and some closing farms altogether. 

Looks like hemp can balance the low milk prices.

This is the Dao of Virus

A virus is a non-living thing, and we can build a meditation or philosophy based on its goal in the world.
Like months ago I saw an article about an Israeli scientist discovering a parasite that does not need to breathe.
Viruses don't need to be alive at all, and they can exist only if there are enough host living tissue to replicate and multiply them.
At any given time a version of a virus is only temporary. The virus contains a genetic program as a DNA, or double strand of RNA, or a single strand of RNA, that runs the show. The rest is a container for the programs and a receptor that fits a host's cells.
As soon as hosts seem to have efficient immune response, or get infected but do not produce enough viruses, there is a mysterious feedback that changes something in the genetic program, and first of all, the receptor is changed slightly, and according to the progress in the mass of the hosts capacity to accept or produce the virus.
This is why the common cold, flu and corvid19 viruses are basically same. They have different programs, each targeting different cells.
Their receptors are always changing, and only within a very simple parameters:
The receptors are made of H and N proteins. Each protein could be of the 1, the 2, or the 3 version. That is why these virus builds are designated HxNy depending on the current epidemic. Receptors can also contain specific numbers (a,b) of the H and N molecules. FYI, a protein molecule is always shaped like a clumped shoelace. So the formula for a receptor is like (aHx)(bNy).
All this means it is futile to research and try to weaken a virus. It will have a solution while replicating inside the cell nucleus of the (resisting) host's tissue.
The only way to resist an infection is to help one's body to preserve heat - not to catch cold - so the immune response will have the support of the fever to accelerate the multifaceted lymphocyte (macrophages, B-cells, T-cells, etc) response to the tasks of disposing of the viruses, of disposing of the subverted tissues. etc. Drinking water helps maintain the volume and the flow of the lymphatic system, which gathers the lymphocytes with their load form the tissues and delivers it all to the spleen or to the liver be digested/disassembled, accordingly.
The mysterious programming of the virus does not care for the weak host, who will die, and not help the virus agenda. Everything in the genetic program is relying on a host who can be strong enough to circulate among other strong hosts and spread the newly manufactured viruses.
In a way, you could say the common cold virus build year 2003 is weaker than than build 2008.
And there are viruses (retroviruses or related types, like herpes) that transcribe their genetic program (or a part of it) into the no longer in use (since childhood), or deactivated part of the host's DNA, and has its own mysterious activating triggers. 
So it is futile to measure a virus' power, and to try to resist it. Any given vaccine against a virus will be good only versus the specific build. The most meaningful research is about finding the most constant surface area of the virus, ideally the container, and make vaccine against it, but the receptors are always obscuring (defending) the surface.
I t seems that viruses have been around, and killed people, and we could not figure it all out until Pasteur with his bacteria work, and Germans developing X-ray microscope that could shed fuzzy light into viruses being totally different from bacteria.
2 weeks ago the parsha started with the word MAGEF whose root has been reworked by the Academy of Hebrew Language as Nagif =virus. But the Tirgum (Aramaic) keeps the translation more true and not "epidemic", but "death."
To repeat the fact: it is as impossible to measure a virus power (even by statistic analysis) as it is to develop a vaccine against it.

Soviet Assets In The White House

Armand Hammer was a known Soviet asset and Al Gore's father worked for him at Occidental Petroleum after vigorously defending him on the Senate floor from charges of espionage. Al Gore Jr. personally profited from his father's relationship with Armand Hammer.
Sen. Ted Kennedy approached Yuri Andropov with a proposed deal to help the Russians deal with Ronald Reagan if they would help the Democrat party in its campaign against Reagan.
While a student in England Bill Clinton took a trip to the Soviet Union and later, as president, allowed a massive missile technology transfer to communist China.
The idea that there have been Russian assets in the Whitehouse is not so crazy but maybe we should not put Trump at the top of that list.

The impotence of alternative medicine

The world has no chocie but agree that all that Chinese folk medicine, and all the alternative medicine, has been just a bunch of bunk and excrement after the Corvid-19 pandemic.
What could be the fitting punishment for all the crooks that cheated people out of their money under the pretense of offering them treatment and medicine?
Maybe burrowing the concept from the bunk of homeopathy, the punishment should be like the offense, feed the homeopaths with all the inventory of their snake oil, make the Chinese charlatans eat rotten intestines from the butcher's market in Wuhan.

Copy Paste Pseudoscience: Snake Oil, Homeopathic botulism

s



In Homeopathy, the crux of the quackery is the dilution.
In other words, the dilution is the solution to the health challenges.
As if the homeopathic memory exists, albeit it has never been tested in any lab - the memory retained by water that contains very low amount of the dangerous substance that caused the illness, or may cause the illness. In this snake oil business, dilution is the reverse, it is dynamization. Read the wikipedia article (link ont he bottom) about the meaninglessness of dilutions and the homeopathy's necessity to envoke the the plain water's memory for the molecules of a substance sold as a medicine.

The D marking indicates the dilution. D30 means the homeopathic concoction contains a substance diluted 30 fold from its original.
There are D1000, and even D1000000

To decode homeopathic secrets, one needs to keep in mind that the quackery is aware of the ill fame of many of the ingredients, like botulism, snake venom, etc. These are dressed up in their fancy Latinized names. A pit viper's venom can be represented as lachesis, cobra - Naja tripudiens. It impresses, and soothes the sufferer, and comforts him with having to pay for literally - snake oil.

The psychology of folk medicine is the underlying thought behind homeopathy. It is a form of wishful thinking, and a leap of optimism. A cobra is a lethal animal, but maybe, jsut maybe, its poison in low amounts may do the opposite?
Digitalis is a poisonous plant, it can stop a heart, the conventional medicine invested billions in researching it - so maybe having its Latin name will steal the conventional medicine's intellectual property and translate into sales of homeopathic witche's brew?

Guitarolin for Led Zeppelin

Zepparella has nothing to do with Coachella. It is an all-women band doing Led Zeppelin songs. In this How Many More Times, the lead guitarist plays guitar like a violin.

 Led Zeppelin's acoustics were notable poorly engineered. Maybe their Madison Square Garden concert of 1973 was better.

The criminology analysis of the coronavirus pandemic.

lots of time invested in preparing the article. Very methodical. I can't describe the punchline of it all. The illness is like a contagious flu, maybe as contagious as the previous seasons. Elderly people are at risk, and will be convenient scare statistics if they die.
So like in everything, there must be someone or some entity which is unusually interested in it, as in motive. Using the criminology rule of thumb, Motive-Means-Opportunity.
I'd say, the attempt to subvert or change authority. In US it is convenient for the leftists and democrats, because the US health care can't take care of people still with inadequate coverage.
Maybe China initially did something to stop the freedom protests, but that was in Hong Kong, and Wuhan is the epicenter. But the streets have been cleared.
i'd say the MMO rule of thumb sticks to Soros.
