    Amidst all the hysteria and noise, some very promising news:

    Read it all at the link. More articles here:

    Coronavirus vaccine developed in the UK could be ready by fall, if it works
    https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-vaccine-oxford-available-fall.html

    Oxford COVID-19 vaccine begins human trial stage
    http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2020-04-23-oxford-covid-19-vaccine-begins-human-trial-stage

    British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca has agreed to mass produce and distribute the potential vaccine if testing proves effective in humans.

    AstraZeneca teams up with Oxford University to develop coronavirus vaccine — first results from human trials expected in June or July
    AstraZeneca CEO says will know by June or July whether the vaccine works
    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a...an-trials-expected-in-june-or-july-2020-04-30

    From what I heard on a radio report, Oxford is seeking approval from the British government to speed up the approval and distribution processes of the vaccine. If it proves safe and effective it should be expedited not only in the UK but here in the USA.

    So they got a vaccine for COVID-19 coming but not for HIV or the common cold?

    I hope so, because one user on here lead me to believe that we might never have a vaccine for this.

    Even an 18 month window is extremely unlikely.

    Covid19 is a bad cold for almost everyone, that also has the unfortunate characteristic of hastening the demise of old, very sick people at death's door anyway. That's what it is, no waffle, rationalization, fear-mongering possible given the data we have now that was not available 4 months ago when this version of the common cold began spreading.

    And for that the gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex, especially in the U.S., its incompetent, corrupt bureaucrat/expert class, it's lying, disgusting MSM and the tens of thousands of lesser liars including an army of paid shills, who fear-mongered this for political gain, did so here daily, doing it here as we speak, effectively KILLED their fellow man by the millions... for their own $$ and power. That is a fact of history that will not be revised or concealed in the net age. OWN IT, YOU CREATED IT.

    Scientific facts are not on your side. Why do you hate science so much? Speaking of "morons," what do you call spewing fear-propaganda on the net all the live long day after the erroneous statistics and other data underlying it have been irrefutably disproven and debunked? Surely not Einsteinian.

    The blood is on YOUR hands. OWN IT.

    But. This is great news

    62,000 dead Americans in five weeks from a "bad cold."

    You are free to celebrate that fact if you feel like you must.

    Your days of free floating red herring are done. No one's buying, near the whole electorate is well aware of how many regular old flu kills yearly and how many people die daily from all kinds of things all over the world, especially old people on death's door. They were willing dupes to you and yours a few weeks ago... no longer. Now they/we are just beginning to get royally POd at all the mountains of lies and scams tied up in this transparent, politically motivated moral panic.

    You are on the wrong side of science that never emerged in your favor. Start getting used to the actual science in the actual real world.

    The whole electorate is also well-apprised of the funky math the corrupt CDC and other self-interested entities ("Nipple Rings" and "The Jew Hunter" in NY for example) used to fluff the numbers. Most are also aware that a better name for this is the "NYC/Jersey FLU" not any kind of scary global pandemic. So pick a new shtick for your nauseating, politically motivated fear-porn, the "fool em with large numbers" that aren't really all that large in rational terms is all played out.

    I am curious if you realize that it is ironic to claim science is not on the side of the CDC and the WHO.

    BUREAUCRATS? Because that's what they are, and affirmative action gimp collectivist SJW bureaucrats at that. The CDC that has gutted its infectious diseases resources for years to conduct "unwanted sexual touching" "domestic abuse" survey studies and a host of other wasteful SJW pablum? You think people don't look into that? You don't think people in the U.S. are reasonably well-aware at this point that there is some huge cooking of COVID cases in certain corrupt BLUE DEMOCRAT cities teetering on the brink of bankruptcy? You think people are STUPID enough to take the counts from NJ and NY at face value? And don't connect the dots between the funky counting to the CDC "get out of jail free card" policies? No Silvio and Paulie, we are not that stupid.

    You must be trolling by adding the WHO into that. No way around it, no cognizant person from your side of things would dare to mention WHO otherwise. Pretty sure you aren't American at this point, no way any American could reference the WHO as a credible source of anything. Now THAT'S IRONY.

    Let alone the point that the near totality either of those entities has said about this MORAL PANIC SCAM is factually wrong, many times out and out counterproductive. I've linked MANY real scientists on the issues related to COVID, many others have also. YOU FEAR PORN LOT IGNORE THEM ALL EVERY TIME.

    I worry about you. You are raging at nearly every single medical expert as if they are the idiots because they were worried about millions infected and hundreds of thousands dead worldwide, including 60,000 dead Americans in five weeks.

    Putting random words in caps does not make your conspiracy theories anymore accurate.

    I don't worry about you in the least. I worry about your victims.

    Rest of post is gibberish, not surprised. Other than the obvious tell you posted about not being in the U.S., that was useful.

    Not being in the US? Because I referenced the World Health Organization? Ok guy.

    And my victims? How do you expect my "victims" to suffer from me disputing your efforts to downplay and diminish the threat of a virus that has already killed 60,000 Americans in five weeks?

    Actually, new info has suggested the Virus was on our shores as early as late January, and the first case in China was November of '19. What we presumed to be the outbreak, was not actually an outbreak at all.

    66,000 and COUNTING

    We'll hit 70,000 in just days with 2,000 dying every day

    Some "cold"

    I have one friend who's been fighting that "cold" for TWO MONTHS...and it's not over yet

    I have another fighting for his LIFE. He's back in the hospital and they're saying his lungs can't take being on a ventilator again.

    My buddies mother died. Yea she's in her 60s (or was). Otherwise healthy. Probably would have lived another 15-20 years...

    "cold"...yea....

    @Talon There were already a thread in that forum, of Israeli scientists promising a vaccin in 3 weeks in february, they didn't succeeded.

    Oxford is a great institution and they probably know what they speak of, but I remain highly suspicious about such claims.

    Trump stoners have a commitment to diss The WHO in everything from climate change to the pandemic, even when they use science. Then hypocritically, they depend upon science to save their asteroid. Trump and his minions will be the first to whine if they can’t be at the head of the line for a bat flu inoculation.

    We have a right to be suspicious, especially when Trump claims five million a day will be tested, “ shortly”...whatever “ shortly” means from the mouth of a dude who will say anything at-anytime to make his hair grow.

    Always pick the UN for your educational sources, and bureaucrat docs who owe their souls to Giliad. You'll never go wrong
