I read the other day where someone said that the spread is mostly coming from people who have it but have no symptoms. bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 5, 2021 at 1:41 PM spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_2665786385377659982WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>…</b>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat<br><b>Subject:</b> [ExI] covid can be prevented<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/sports/football/seahawks-coronavirus-nfl.html" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/sports/football/seahawks-coronavirus-nfl.html</a><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black">bill </span><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">w<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">Billw, I am looking at Israel’s covid new case rate, which stopped declining about 5 days ago and is heading back up, as the rest of the world declines steeply. The rest of the world new case rate is about 2/3 what is was 4 weeks ago. But Israel is over 80% of it’s post-…Hannukah(?) peak and rising, as it leads the world by a huge margin in number of vaccines distributed: 62 vaccines per 100 population, vs second place UK at about 16 and third place USA at 11.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">So… Israel is waaaay ahead in vaccines, but the USA is at about half its peak new case rate (4 wks ago) and UK is at about a third its peak new case rate.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">I am compelled to suspect the vaccines Israel is using are not working. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">I can think of a number of explanations, such as: <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc"><li class="gmail-m_2665786385377659982MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">some kind of really bad testing anomaly (unlikely),<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="gmail-m_2665786385377659982MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">intentional misinformation (unlikely), <u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="gmail-m_2665786385377659982MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">genetic resistance to the therapy (unlikely), <u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="gmail-m_2665786385377659982MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">an intentionally infected batch of vaccine (unlikely),<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="gmail-m_2665786385377659982MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">improper administration of vaccine (unlikely),<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="gmail-m_2665786385377659982MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">systematic failure to vaccinate the most vulnerable (vaguely plausible)<u></u><u></u></span></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">or perhaps…<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">Israel is being sold counterfeit vaccines.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">Your thoughts please.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">spike<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS""><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
