  [France] The Chinese Way of Control: Macron's Immunity Passports.
Posted by: BIAD - 11-26-2020, 10:31 PM - Forum: Europe - No Replies

For anyone still thinking that a Government's hunger for control over its people is still just hyperbole,
here's something my sister-in-law mentioned this evening.



Quote:‘Grave concerns’ about Covid-19 immunity passports

[Image: attachment.php?aid=8700]


'Trapped between the competing urgencies of saving lives from Covid-19 and avoiding economic calamity,
some government officials have mooted “immunity passports” as a way through the impasse.
But experts told FRANCE 24 that the necessary antibody testing is not reliable enough –and even if the
scheme were feasible, it could create a dangerous incentive for some to acquire the virus in order to qualify
for the passport.

The global tally of confirmed coronavirus cases surpassed 2 million on Wednesday –a day after researchers
at the Harvard School of Public Health warned that the US may need to keep some social distancing measures
until 2022, while the IMF predicted that, thanks to “the Great Lockdown”, the world will suffer the worst recession
since the Great Depression.

Anxious about both the unfolding economic disaster and the risk of Covid-19 resurging if lockdowns are reversed
prematurely, some officials in hard-hit countries have suggested that a system of immunity passports could be a
route out of the coronavirus crisis – for some at least.

The idea is that people who have already had the disease and thereby gained immunity could be given permits
to live their lives mostly like they did before the pandemic.

Shortly after emerging from self-isolation after testing positive for Covid-19, the UK’s Health Secretary Matt Hancock
announced in early April that the British government was considering an “immunity certificate” system to allow those
who qualify to “get back as much as possible to normal life”.

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has also given the idea her backing –putting it in a list of proposals for returning to business
as usual in the City of Lights that she sent to the French government.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Anthony Fauci, the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,
told CNN that immunity passports are “being discussed” in the Trump administration.
“It might actually have some merit under some circumstances,” he added.

Antibody tests ‘not sufficiently accurate’
Immunity passports would require tests for antibodies specific to Covid-19, which would be different from those used
to discern whether or not people currently have the virus. The problem is that, as things stand, these tests “are not
sufficiently accurate for individual immunity passports”, which means that “we are still a long way off it being useful
to test individuals with these methods”, said Claire Standley, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s
Center for Global Health Science and Security.

A major reason why such tests look likely to be ineffective, Standley explained, is that they do not seem specific enough
to avoid mistaking a similar virus for Covid-19: “There may be cross-reactivity between the antibodies for SARS-CoV-2
[Covid-19] and other circulating coronaviruses –including those that cause common colds –meaning a positive result
might not indicate past exposure to SARS-CoV-2 but maybe another coronavirus instead.”

As well as flagging up people who have recovered from ailments that merely seem similar to Covid-19, Standley said
these tests also have a problem in failing to detect some people who have experienced a minor form of the virus:

“High false negative rates (lack of sensitivity) of the test mean that those currently available are not
recommended for patient-level clinical diagnosis; unless the sensitivity improves, these tests may
also not be effective in identifying people who have recovered from mild cases of Covid-19,
and thus may have lower levels of antibodies in their blood.”

Immunity for less than one year?
Issues with the accuracy of testing equipment may be solved through rapid technological advances as the world’s
scientists focus their energy and resources on tackling the coronavirus pandemic. However, one potentially intractable
problem with immunity passports is that immunity might not last terribly long.

“At this point, the virus has been widely circulating in Europe and North America only for a couple of months, and so
that is all the information we have –we will know in a year if immunity lasts a year; we will know in two years if immunity
lasts two years,” noted Abram Wagner, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan.

“From past research into other coronaviruses, immunity was not long lasting, and I would not be surprised if, for most
people, immunity lasted less than one year.”

In addition to these scientific hindrances standing in the way of immunity passports, there are worries about the social
implications: “I suspect many people will be resentful if others were able to return to work and make money because
they had an immunity passport,” Wagner put it.

“I have grave concerns about how these types of schemes could be implemented equitably and fairly, even assuming a
reliable antibody test were available, and more known about the length of immunity and how protective it is,” Standley
added.

In particular, she said, immunity passports threaten to accentuate inequality between the haves and have-nots,
which lockdowns have already intensified: “If the tests need to be purchased, this could further exacerbate disparities
between those who can afford the tests (and who may already have been able to work from home/maintain an income
during lockdown) versus those who cannot, and thus would be further barred from re-entering the workforce.”

Another unsettling point Standley raised is that immunity passports could create a perverse incentive to contract the
coronavirus:

“In an effort to return to work, or allow their children back to school, will the promise of an
immunity passport make people behave less responsibly, and risk infection, in order to
end up with a positive antibody test?”

In this way, an idea touted as a way of giving people their lives back could disadvantage those who have acted most
virtuously, Standley warned:

“The scheme would potentially punish those citizens who have behaved responsibly and
tried their best to reduce their own risk of exposure and that of transmission within their
communities.”...'

  General Michael Flynn Gets Pardoned
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 11-26-2020, 05:54 PM - Forum: General News and Events - Replies (1)

The evil, corrupt system of "no justice" kept dragging out the release of General Flynn's case because this man "knows where the bodies are buried", and they didn't want him free to speak what he knows.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TO THE RESCUE!

When it became apparent that the judges in this case were stonewalling Gen. Flynn's release, President Trump pardoned him. Just in time to enjoy his new freedom with family for Thanksgiving.

The Liberal judge and politicians are gnashing their teeth, and the media are right there backing them up by slandering the POTUS for such an act as freeing an innocent man, proven in the court by his attorney, Sidney Powell.

Schiff, Nadler Lash Out After Michael Flynn Pardon: ‘Crooked to the End’

A.G. Barr had even told the courts that Flynn's case should be dropped because there was no crime done by this man.
The judge ignored this and kept the case going. Their goal was to make an example out of Gen. Flynn for being an honest man who served our country for over 30 years in the armed forces because he has "a mountain of dirt" on them. 
These people are EVIL!

This “Pardon of Innocence” is historic, sincerely appreciated & should never happen in our country again. I will issue a personal statement later today. My family issued one yesterday. Thank you America

Happy Thanksgiving

Here is the US, we're celebrating Thanksgiving.

It's when the Dutch invented fireworks or something back in the 1960's.

Anyway, it's a day when we pause and give thanks.

I'm thankful I still have a job, I'm thankful for my family, my dogs, my friends.

And I'm thankful for this site.

Lightbulb Biden Discusses His Plans for the First 100 Days
Posted by: xuenchen - 11-25-2020, 06:41 PM - Forum: Political News and more - Replies (7)

Joey 2 Rolls was "interviewed" on NBC and was served up a host full of bland and dry/drab questions.

He was very straight forward at the ease and delivered his answers well as he read the scripted and rehearsed lines from his teleprompter to cast the appearance of prompt and swift intellectual stability. 

He talked about some kind of "Amnesty" for illegal immigrants as well as other issues but stopped about 6 miles behind the finish line of details about how and who pays and who gets smacked in order for these miracles to happen.

The "interviewer" was NBC's Lester Holt, himself a typical fHiccup without a cure that caters to any Democrat with a face and mouth and a registration card. minusculebiggrin

I remember some kind of Trump proposals about immigrants but Democrats stopped it because Republicans were suspicious of appropriations and tangents unrelated to the main issue.

Quote:Democrat Joe Biden says he will send an amnesty deal for “over 11 million” illegal aliens to the United States Senate in his first 100 days in office.

During an interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt, Biden reiterated his plan to give amnesty to the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. Biden said of his agenda:

Some of it’s going to depend on the kind of cooperation I can or cannot get from the United States Congress. But I am going, I made a commitment, in the first 100 days, I will send an immigration bill to the United States Senate with a pathway to citizenship for over 11 million undocumented people in America.

  Mysterious Metal Monolith Discovered in Desert
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 11-25-2020, 02:07 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (31)

I hope this hasn't already been posted. If so, forgive me for missing it.

This is very strange. A metal monloith was discovered by a helicopter that was flying over the desert in Utah.
It is made from a strange metal that is being analyzed now, but how it got out there is a mystery.

[Image: 5fbd1a382a2e0.image.jpg?resize=1700%2C956]

Quote:What started as routine wildlife assistance took an extraterrestrial turn for Utah's Department of Public Safety after officers stumbled upon a mysterious monolith in the middle of rural Utah.

Officers from the Utah Department of Public Safety's Aero Bureau were flying by helicopter last Wednesday, helping the Division of Wildlife Resources count bighorn sheep in southeastern Utah, when they spotted something that seemed right out of "2001: A Space Odyssey."

"One of the biologists ... spotted it, and we just happened to fly directly over the top of it," pilot Bret Hutchings told CNN affiliate KSL. "He was like, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa, turn around, turn around!' And I was like, 'What.' And he's like, 'There's this thing back there -- we've got to go look at it!'"

And there it was -- in the middle of the red rock was a shiny, silver metal monolith sticking out of the ground. Hutchings guessed it was "between 10 and 12 feet high." It didn't look like it was randomly dropped to the ground, he told KSL, but rather it looked like it had been planted.

"We were kind of joking around that if one of us suddenly disappears, then the rest of us make a run for it," Hutchings said.

Still, Hutchings said he thinks it was most likely placed there by an artist rather than an alien.
This thing just appeared there, sort of like the Georgia Guidestones and how they suddenly appeared without anyone seeing a thing.

Quote:"I'm assuming it's some new wave artist or something or, you know, somebody that was a big ("2001: A Space Odyssey") fan," he said, referencing a scene in the 1968 film where a black monolith appears.
Still, it is illegal to install structures or art without authorization on public lands "no matter what planet you're from," said Utah DPS in a statement released Monday.

The location of the monolith is not being disclosed, and it is not yet clear who -- or what -- put the monolith there, DPS said.

As of Monday, the Bureau of Land Management will be deciding whether further investigation is needed.

Tongue The Biden Appointment Freak Show is Starting
Posted by: xuenchen - 11-24-2020, 07:54 PM - Forum: Political News and more - Replies (9)

Prezident Elect Joey Biden is starting to appoint people to posts in the Cabinet and Staff !!

Looks like many old has-beens being yanked out of the shadows and they are 100% N.W.O. !!

Lots are xObama people (wonder why that is?) roflmao

Even Jake Sullivan famous for spreading loads of Hillary classified material all over the email jungle she purposely created way back when she was Secretary of State.

And xSecretary of State John Kerry is being crowned the new "Climate Czar" !!

Kerry has been busy talking to people from that Paris Climate Deal from Obama (the one Trump cancelled) !!

Talks with Iran also commencing.

Many Democrat pundits saying he is returning the nation back to sanity and cutting the "America First" policies !!

So what exactly has been so bad for America that will become so great for America with these NWO/Democrat Alliance policies ??

Who will be the scapegoats when these policies fail and spiral out of control ?? 

The Alliance is hard  at work scrubbing exposures and trying to turn them into lies while their own lies are being turned into "truth and realities" !

List of appointees so far in this article..............

Quote:President-elect Joe Biden is assembling his inner circle of advisers and Cabinet officials despite President Trump's continued dismissal of the validity of the election.

The week of Thanksgiving, Biden named key nominees for his foreign policy and national security teams, including Avril Haines as director of national intelligence. Haines would be the first woman to serve in the role if confirmed. Alejandro Mayorkas, nominee for Department of Homeland Security secretary, would be the first Latino and immigrant in that position.

Biden also tapped former Secretary of State John Kerry for a new White House position as special presidential envoy for climate. Kerry will serve on the National Security Council.
