The closest event of poisoning or drugging a people to kill them was the genocide of the native Indians when the early white migrants put on the pretence of kindness, offering blankets and clothing tainted with European diseases to them. Under such deceit of kindness and generosity, the victims would often put down their guards and accept the gift in good faith only to their demise. For a party to intentionally do such a devious act, by force, to a whole people, would be difficult and unthinkable.
The Japanese had a biochemical lab in Manchuria during WW2 named Unit 731 where they forcefully injected poisons and chemicals on their victims made up of mainly Chinese, Koreans and Russians. They could do it on a small number of people at a time. They also did that to some Chinese villages to kill them en mass. But to do that on a national scale to kill the whole Chinese population or in a big scale would be difficult unlike the case of native Americans.
The next closest form of such a hideous act was the selling of opium to the Chinese population by the British in the 19th Century. Here it was not by force initially but by deceit that it was a wonderful drug and the Chinese fell for it, thus is a way willingly consuming the drug with no compulsion, a willing victim.
The Americans also spread some of these toxic staff in North Korea and Vietnam, Agent Orange and Purple Rain, and achieved some results on a limited scale on the North Koreans and Vietnamese.
There are two elements to the success of mass drugging or poisoning, deceit and a willingness by the victims to accept the drug or poison. It is unlikely that such a wicked plan could be introduced in modern civilisation when the people are much well informed of the danger of drugs and poison, though still many would still consume drugs by self deception or delusion that the drugs are safe and would not kill them.
Today the world is experimenting with a new drug, called vaccine, for Covid19. This is a new experimental drug, not sure how thorough is the research on its side effects or harm that it might inflict on the users. The two biggest white nations, UK and US, are promoting the use of these vaccines using a new technology involving splicing and manipulating DNA/RNA. Some trials have been done on small samples of volunteers and only a few months have passed and the vaccines are approved for emergency use, for desperate countries like the US and UK. But many other countries that are not so desperate are also rushing in, buying these vaccines in the millions for their people instead of the traditional proven vaccines that used deactivated Covid19 virus to induce a response to build up anti bodies in the recipients.
All is good if the western vaccines eventually proved themselves to be worthy and effective without major side effects. What if, what if the side effects would appear after a longer span of time, maybe a year, or several years down the line, when the human body reacts with the RNA and new DNAs evolved leading to mutants being created? What the crazy Bolsonaro of Brazil said about man turning into crocodiles or woman growing beard or whatever that were not supposed to happen may be wild and hilarious and not likely to happen. What if?
Today, many American leaders are cutting queues to be first to be vaccinated with the new vaccines to set an example, to build confidence that the vaccines are safe, some really believed so and jumping queues to be the first to be protected. What if a few years down the line things untoward start to happen, when the recipients of such vaccines developed into other forms, or their DNA got hacked by the RNA introduced into their bodies from the vaccines? If these new vaccines turned foul and bad in the future, it would be a classic case of human civilisation willingly accepting the vaccines to destroy themselves en mass, not by force, not by deceit, but by misinformation or lack of in depth research and information about the vaccines. Vaccines not given sufficient time to play itself out to prove what it could or could not do but impregnated into healthy human beans that eventually lead to the end of civilisation is still fictional. Ok, such a scenario is quite far fetch and likely not to happen. The manufacturers and scientists are willing to vouch for the safety of these vaccines, including Trump that still refused to be vaccinated. Manufacturers insisted that liabilities are waived for their used. It was reported that some employees of manufacturers of these vaccines refused to take them. Trump called it is the best Christmas present.
Word of caution, the normal test period for a vaccine before being approved for sale is 3 to 4 years. This is the time needed to make sure the vaccine is fairly safe. The western vaccines are now trumpeted to be safe after less than a year, approved by warp speed. So take care. Some side effects can take longer to appear.
My contention is, what if? The vaccines are very new and not fully tested. That is a fact. Singapore has taken a prudent approach. It is voluntary. There are other well tested options available.
PS. China did not rush the trials of its vaccines. And these were conducted by independent national bodies outside China, not by the Chinese manufacturers. Turkey is a Nato member and used to be hostile to China but conducted the trial and concluded that it is safe and 91% effective. Many Middle East countries are using the Chinese vaccines, including Indonesia and Latin America and African countries.
Countries using China's Covid-19 vaccine Sinovac:
ReplyDeleteMiddle-Eastern Arab countries (except Saudi Arabia, Syria and UAE),
African countries (except South Africa),
Latin American countries (except Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico) ,
ASEAN countries (including Singapore at a later date).
Asian countries (except India, Russia and Outer Mongolia).
Even some of the EU countries like Italy, France and Spain are using Sinovac.
Sinovac has taken a chunk of the business away from Pfizer and Moderna. Thankfully, Trump, the unstable genius, is leaving the White House in less than a month, or else he will sign another executive order (for wrapping dog shit) to say Sinovac is a security risk and should be banned in the USA. The poodles will answer his call as well.
ReplyDeleteJust like the Pfizer vaccine and the Moderna Vaccine, the Chinese vaccine Sinovac uses the same technology and the trial period is the same. So what makes the Sinovac safer than the other two used in United Kingdom and the United States of America? Lets all hope that things will turn out OK for the future of mankind. This is no time to play politics. For the safety of mankind, let us all hope and pray for the best.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:15pm,
ReplyDeleteIf you do not know what you are talking about, it is best you ask and people here will explain to you why the two types of vaccines are different.
Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are based on a new technology using modified RNA.
Chinese vaccines were made from proven traditional method of deactivating the Covid19 virus, dead virus, to make the human body react and produce antibodies to fight the living virus.
The two vaccines are worlds apart, NOT the same. Not the same technology.
The Chinese technology went through the full trial duration conducted in Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia and several other countries. That is why though they started the trial before the western vaccine trials, the results came out later while the western vaccines were approved before the full trial period, warp speed, short cuts.
Trump's warp speed vaccine development is not and effort to save lives, but to come out with a vaccine fast and be the first to corner the market. For Trump, saving lives is the last thing on his mind.
ReplyDeleteIt all adds up. The short cuts, the fast approvals to be ahead of others and God knows how many countries have already inked contracts to secure the vaccine from Pfizer and Moderna.
As of Friday (25 December), 12 pm, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed 14 new cases of COVID-19 infection.
ReplyDeleteThis brings the total number of infection cases to 58,509.
Amongst the new cases today, 12 are asymptomatic and were detected from screening and surveillance, while 2 were symptomatic.
All cases are happily imported and have happily been placed on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore, but not quarantined.
Amongst the 14 imported cases, 6 (Cases 58735, 58737, 58741, 58745, 58747 and 58748) are Singaporeans and 2 (Cases 58746 and 58749) are Singapore Permanent Residents who returned from South Africa, Republic of Korea, UK, US, Philippines, Malaysia and India.
In addition, there is 1 Work Pass holder (Case 58738) and 3 Work Permit holders (Cases 58736, 58740 and 58744) who arrived from Indonesia and India.
Don't know how many of these happily imported cases have got the UK Covid-20? Looks like there is a news blackout on this serious matter.
This serious matter was already known since September, 2020, but happily kept silent until recently.
ReplyDeleteIt the the UK virus after all, and it comes from a country of Whites. The White men will say keeping quiet is not to alarm the rest of the world. They are such kind people.
If China did that, you know the sky will fall and dogs will bark incessantly!
How does mRNA vaccine work?
ReplyDeleteVaccines train the immune system to recognize the disease-causing part of a virus. Vaccines traditionally contain either weakened viruses or purified signature proteins of the virus.
But an mRNA vaccine is different, because rather than having the viral protein injected, a person receives genetic material – mRNA – that encodes the viral protein. When these genetic instructions are injected into the upper arm, the muscle cells translate them to make the viral protein directly in the body.
This approach mimics what the SARS-CoV-2 does in nature – but the vaccine mRNA codes only for the critical fragment of the viral protein. This gives the immune system a preview of what the real virus looks like without causing disease. This preview gives the immune system time to design powerful antibodies that can neutralize the real virus if the individual is ever infected.
While this synthetic mRNA is genetic material, it cannot be transmitted to the next generation. After an mRNA injection, this molecule guides the protein production inside the muscle cells, which reaches peak levels for 24 to 48 hours and can last for a few more days....
MRNA technology isn’t new. It was shown a while back that when synthetic mRNA is injected into an animal, the cells can produce a desired protein. But the progress remained slow. That’s because mRNA is not only notoriously unstable and easy to degrade into smaller components, it is also easily destroyed by the human body’s immune defenses, which make delivering it to the target very inefficient.
But beginning in 2005, researchers figured out how to stabilize mRNA and package it into small particles to deliver it as a vaccine. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are expected to be the first using this technology to be approved by the FDA.
After a decade of work, the mRNA vaccines are now ready for evaluation. Physicians will be watching for unintended immune reactions, which can be both helpful and detrimental.
