RE: USMC Preparing for Pandemic

in #news4 years ago

There are thought forms along the lines of epidemics are going to happen, like it is a time occurrence.

That everyone is going to get sick from it, so maybe the better plan is to get everyone exposed as quickly as possible. This idea of quarantining people off seems to be a exercise in futility. And the longer we try to fight against it, the actual worse the virus becomes.

But, its really hard to discuss such things ever since Pasteur lied.

Sort:  

Given that most pathogens create immunity in survivors, and that resources to treat folks are far more available before large numbers of people are infected, there is reason behind your seeming madness.

However, all the research I have undertaken indicates that COVID-19 seems to be different from other pathogens, due to the nature of the lymphopenia (immune destruction) it seems to cause, and it's spike protein (the key that allows it to enter cells) coming from SARS. Vaccines trialed for similar pathogens have resulted in increased mortality from subsequent infections, not immunity, and Dr. James Lyons-Weiler has pointed out that China instituted a national mandatory vaccine program that began on the same day COVID-19 patient zero began to suffer symptoms. Further I recall (I do not recall specific source) that China may have deployed a SARS vaccine, and any one of these possibilities may explain the extreme susceptibility the Chinese seem to be afflicted with to COVID-19.

Given that vaccination or prior exposure to virii with the SARS spike protein is demonstrated to increase mortality upon subsequent infection with COVID-19, as I understand it, and the present claim from several sources that COVID-19 appears to have already mutated into different strains, I would not recommend getting it early to beat the rush.

Particularly not given it's known symptom of lymphopenia, which is a dramatic reduction in immune competence. It is likely a bad idea to compromise your immune system immediately prior to an evolving pathogenic epidemic, or potential pandemic.

Thanks!
