My ct scan and procedure were both rules elective since the condition was no longer life threatening but chronic. No such problem in Utah.

Why interesting? I've been expecting them to go after CDC and NIH funding ever since Trump started listening to Atlas and sidelining his civil servants.
Not the story I'd choose to push. I think it sounds better to brag about how the good old GOP was smart enough to support these wonderful new vaccines. Point to those long wait lists in Europe, and the walk up clinics here with no appointment necessary. It's a persuasive story.
But that story is only good for winning general elections. The GOP these days is more interested in winning primaries.

No. What is an interesting story is if the virus was man made from China and it turned out the US was funding a portion of the research.
That would be the story of the decade.
Just found out today about the cancellation, were trying to get her signed up to take it in Prescott. Thank god for Arizona
. Despite how I've made fun of Zonies in the past, they seem to have much more common sense than Californians.Pfft, seems like they're more interested in staying on the Trump bandwagon.

This isn't about electoral advantage. If there has been a failure of oversight by investing in doing this in a Chinese lab with improper procedures, it's about accountability and making sure it doesn't happen again.
Please it will be really interesting if the architect of the pandemic response had something to do with starting it.

On the bright side there are a few good courses up there to play.Just found out today about the cancellation, were trying to get her signed up to take it in Prescott. Thank god for Arizona
I have some friends Hound over in Europe and they say people are starting to get really pissed off at us because we allowed this to happen. If what I always knew to be true, then boy you better sit back and pray and watch the movie of a lifetime. This is not decade story news, this is the greatest story ever told of planet earth. I'm glad to have met you in person and I look forward to some great beers someday. What a time to live is all I can say. Dr F and Billy. I hear higher ups also will be involved. I dont know, but something smells like poo poo bro. I'm now looking to bail out of the city life and live off the land.

You are reading a great deal into that post . . , almost makes it unrecognizable.
Ha ha, you're probably right.
Total dollar value was 76K. That's less than some families spend on ECNL.
I have no doubt PRC was diverting resources to their bioweapons program. The 76K would have been an appreciated, if small, donation towards that end.
Think about it. If 76K were enough to make meaningful progress towards bioweapons, you'd see them all over the place. Hamas alone would have dozens.
Much as I dislike PRC, this isn't about PRC as much as it is a distraction for domestic purposes. This is payback for having made Trump look bad.
It’s not about the total money. It’s that the public health officials in the us either were or should have been aware of the program had proper due diligence been used and that they trusted the Chinese despite their slovenly record of taking care and safety with something as potentially dangerous at this. Whoever authorized that without looking at the controls (fauci or otherwise if it didn’t reach his level) is responsible for the deaths of millions along with the Chinese.
distraction? There’s plenty more distractions out there that are better than thus for the rs including without limitation: the jobs reports, the gas shortages, Israel, increased crime including the recent spat of anti Asian and anti Jewish hate crimes, the border, the cdc and it’s stupid camp and school recommends, inflation. The 70s are back baby! Who’s up for some disco?
How many minutes of Fauci's time do you want to spend on a 76K international subcontract over which he has no direct control? Or do you want him to have some underling dive deep into PRC obfuscation on the contract? That’s fine. But it won't help any.
This has nothing to do with accountability. For better or worse, no one expects international partnerships like this to have accountability. You don’t even want him to try to make it accountable, because that would be a complete waste of time. PRC does not turn over their real documents just because US bureaucrats ask nicely and talk about accountability.
If someone asks agency heads about 76K indirect subcontracts through international agencies, it isn’t because they think the US Congress can get accountability. It means they are playing gotcha and the goal is political payback for some other offense.
There’s no upside to this for the rs. There’s plenty more for them to attack on. They have their own house in order problems with Cheney and trump. This isn’t even about fauci personally (though like the buck stop here attacks against trump fauci would be equally responsible). And the media will move to protect him. It’s about the us making any investment in China at a lab with know past problems in a country that isn’t transparent and has a bad track record for accidents. It shouldn’t happen.

Old news spun for those desperate for validation of their paranoid hysteria, of which you are the poster child around here."There are now more connections emerging from the Wuhan Institute that should be explored further. These connections involve the United States government, the National Institutes of Health and Dr Anthony Fauci -- and he should have to explain them before Congress.
These questions could of course pose complications to the mainstream media storyline that Fauci is a great hero, a man lionized, even fetishized by the political left for being the antithesis to then-president Donald Trump. If the NIH and Anthony Fauci played any role in financing or assisting the Wuhan Institute, including outsourcing the study of BSL-4 novel coronaviruses, the good doctor should have to answer for it.
To boil things down: the United States was outsourcing the study of novel coronaviruses to a group called EcoHealth Alliance, a group which according to NPR was doing the bulk of collection of coronavirus samples from bats and transferring those samples and research to the Wuhan Institute.
The original grant money provided to EcoHealth was $3.7 million, $76,000 of which was slated for the Wuhan Institute. This funding was approved with the backing of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the agency that Anthony Fauci heads, according to Newsweek.
That contract was canceled in April 2020. Those grants were approved by the National Institute of Health. According to a blockbuster piece in New York magazine, one of the first outlets to take the lab leak hypothesis seriously, EcoHealth Alliance 'has channeled money from the National Institutes of Health to Shi Zhengli's laboratory in Wuhan, allowing the lab to carry on recombinant research into diseases of bats and humans'."
Fauci must answer for his role in Wuhan’s COVID lab

I've decided to post good news in the bad news section. I'm a free man and i can do WTHIW so STFU! Remember, my "F" = Freaking
Orange County won’t develop digital record for showing vaccination
As county supervisors focus their efforts on further boosting vaccination rates among residents, they made official on Tuesday pausing all work on developing an opt-in digital vaccine record people could show providing verification to a third party, saying the public debate had become "counterproductive" to the goal of encouraging more people to take the shot.
I would like to see the word, "ending" instead of "pausing." However, a pause is better than moving forward with this BS. How would some of you Vaxxers feel if you were asked at the door the following stupid question:
Door Guard ((DG)): "Sir, did you get the shot from X Y and Z?"
Potential Customer ((PC)): "Yes"
DG: I'm sorry, you can;t come in our place because
PC: But I got X Y and Z
DG: Oh dear, I am sorry to hear that. Did you not hear the latest on X Y and Z?
PC: Hear what?
DG: Oh dear, you must leave now before I call the cops!!!

"Even now there is “not a single documented Covid infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interactions, such as walking past someone on a street or eating at a nearby table,” Leonhardt notes, which makes the CDC’s recommendations seem ridiculous, not simply over-cautious."
--
"But the CDC’s estimate about the risk of outdoor COVID-19 transmission was exaggerated, according to a bombshell report from the New York Times, which says the risk of COVID-19 transmission is actually less than 1 percent."
“Media organizations repeated the statistic, and it quickly became a standard description of the frequency of outdoor transmission,” noted the New York Times.
“It appears to be based partly on a misclassification of some Covid transmission that actually took place in enclosed spaces,” the report explains. “An even bigger issue is the extreme caution of C.D.C. officials, who picked a benchmark — 10 percent — so high that nobody could reasonably dispute it.”
"That benchmark “seems to be a huge exaggeration,” as Dr. Muge Cevik, a virologist at the University of St. Andrews, said. In truth, the share of transmission that has occurred outdoors seems to be below 1 percent and may be below 0.1 percent, multiple epidemiologists told me. The rare outdoor transmission that has happened almost all seems to have involved crowded places or close conversation.
Saying that less than 10 percent of Covid transmission occurs outdoors is akin to saying that sharks attack fewer than 20,000 swimmers a year. (The actual worldwide number is around 150.) It’s both true and deceiving."
