Fox News Claims It Never Called COVID-19 a Hoax

KIKI, I see where you are going with this and you are right. The clusters that we are seeing BC are as I stated in long term care facilities because people who are infected come in and visit, pass it on to their loved one. The loved one is in a confined environment anyways and so it spreads.
I don't think you are being dismissive. As I said I can see where you are going with everything you said.

Yanno, like the RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hoax.
The "golden showers" hoax.
The "Russia hacked our elections" hoax.
The Ukraingate hoax.
The "Covington student beats up Native elder" hoax.
The RAPE!RAPE! [Kavanuagh] hoax.
The "Assad gassed his own peole" hoax
The "Juan Guaido is President of Venezuela" hoax.
If nobody believes the M$M, it's entirely the M$Ms fault.
Nobody believes you, either, and that's your fault too.

1) COVID-19 vaccine candidates: 6 front-runners

2) A new type of vaccine using RNA could help defeat COVID-19
We’re currently developing novel vaccine candidates for Zika, and have successfully developed a potential protective antibody-based treatment – in 90 days – to stop that viral disease. Fast-track “sprints” like these are part of the Pandemic Protection Platform Program run by the Defense Advanced Research Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense to help us identify and deploy protective antibody treatments against viral outbreaks, such as SARS-CoV-2. Now other colleagues of ours are working on expediting a new type of vaccine for COVID-19.
Instead of the standard vaccines where viral proteins are used to immunize, an mRNA vaccine provides a synthetic mRNA of the virus, which the host body (that means you, the vaccinated person) then uses to produce the viral proteins itself.
The biggest advantage of the mRNA vaccines is that they can bypass the hassle of producing pure viral proteins (in a pharmaceutical factory), sometimes saving months or years to standardize and ramp up the mass production.
The mRNA vaccines basically mimic the natural infection of the virus, but they contain only a short synthetic version of the viral mRNA which encodes only the antigen protein. Since the mRNA used in vaccination cannot become part of the person’s chromosomes, they are safe to use. Such mRNA vaccines would also be safer than the weakened viral or protein-based vaccines because they do not carry the risk of the injected virus becoming active, or a protein contamination.
An mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 to undergo trial.
Using this strategy, biotechnology firm Moderna Inc. announced on Feb. 24 that it had rapidly developed an experimental COVID-19 mRNA vaccine called mRNA-1273, ready for clinical trials in humans. This vaccine candidate is funded by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The mRNA-1273 encodes for a stable form of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

What should have happened to Kavanaugh, Brett is that he stays off the Supreme Court, which is what happened to Miers, Harriet and Bork, Robert H.

Quote:Doubtful. Trump is from NYC not Texas, and they're not at all alike. What you're dealing with is TEXANS, who you like to think are like Trump, but aren't, really.

That's about as far as I got with your post, which is prolly farther that I get with most of your posts bc why should I waste my time wading thru endless bullshit?

Signym, Trump like characters, businessmen who lie, sue you when they don't keep their contractual promises, cheat their suppliers, employees, customers and investors are very common in Texas. Why someone like Trump became your "loose cannon" I will never know.

The Far Right Is Looking for Miracles and Scapegoats to Bail Us Out of the Coronavirus Crisis
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/04/far-right-conspiracy-fauci
-security-miracle-cure-scapegoat-coronavirus.html
The U.S. government is now providing a security detail for infectious-diseases expert Dr. Anthony Fauci because, as his stature has grown as one of the pillars of the American response to the pandemic, so have the rumblings of the far right, conspiracy theory wing of President Donald Trump’s support.
The right wing sees Fauci carefully disagree with Trump on a national stage and artfully try to bring the president of the United States back into the fold of reasoned decision-making and Trumpistas see a deep state plant. Trump wants a vaccine, a drug of any sort, a miracle cure that will take the place of the difficult decisions that he was elected to make.

Every time sig posts lists claiming Trump didn't do any of it, you know sig is a troll because he did all of it. Sig is a Russian troll whose opinions are irrelevant.

She's definitely a troll/agitator. She is constantly going on and on about Russia. Same sh*t, different day.
second - thanks for the news about a potential vaccine. Almost any news about treatment is good news. It's the one thing I try and share with friends to lift them up a bit, "there are scads oif teams working on this day and night, triple over time." The best part is they know the underlying logic is really solid - and that's because it's based on Greed. We all know how powerful that is. The mountain of cashy money waiting for the group that gets a treatment and/or vaccine ready could dwarf Fuji.
