# Covid / Pandemics / Biologicals
Differentiating between COVID misinformation and evolving science: The Western scientific enterprise is built upon the idea that a hypothesis’s power lies in its explanatory capability. It can never be fully “proven” but can be disproven. The hypothesis that fomites could transmit COVID was replaced by the hypothesis that it was spread primarily as a respiratory virus, which could explain more of the infections. The fomite hypothesis was not wrong or misinformation; it was midinformation.

Deep Investigation on Moderna’s Artificial human gene like SARS-Cov-2. Huge Plot EU, China, US Darpa, Fauci & Gates:
This study is grafted on the enormous suspicions and intrigues on the tests on chimeric superviruses carried out by Fauci himself between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the University of North Carolina summarized in the dossier prepared by the American doctor David E. Martin who first detailed these very dangerous “dual use” vaccine-bioweapon trials (then confirmed by Russian experts)

New Island Rises in South Pacific After Volcano ‘Awoke’: NASA has confirmed the existence of the island, which is growing by the day. A submerged volcano on the seamount known as the Home Reef in the central Tonga Islands has awoken after 16 years of deep sleep to poke its head out of the blue. On 10 September 2022, lava and rock fragments began to ooze into the ocean 25 kilometers (15 miles) southwest of Late Island, while plumes of steam and ash burst through the surface of the waves.

Increase in Strong El Niño Events Linked to Loss of Arctic Sea Ice: Sea ice forms in the Arctic and Antarctic in winter and retreats in summer, but it doesn’t disappear completely, at least not yet.

Take Trump’s ‘Warning’ of Violence for What It Is, a Threat: The ex-president and his MAGA militias have made good on their promises to “fight like hell” before. You’d be a fool to believe they won’t do it again.

Nice Democracy You’ve Got Here. Shame If Something Happened to It: Donald Trump’s newest defense strategy is laced with menace. The line between imagination and delusion is thin, as Donald Trump’s initial reaction to an FBI search at Mar-a-Lago in August demonstrated. In the first days afterward, the former president saw the search as a political gift, not a blow: a chance to rally his base https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/trump-threats-violence/671458/

Investigation into congressional stock trading reveals massive corruption red flags: The current Congress has a laughably low approval rating of just 17%. It seems near impossible for the public view of our elected officials to drop any lower. The Times dug into the stock trades that members of Congress made from 2019 to 2021. They found many cases in which politicians or their close family members made stock trades in circumstances in which they could have had insider knowledge.

Arizona Can Enforce A 121-Year-Old Abortion Ban, A Judge Ruled: “By allowing this law to go into effect, Arizona has put the lives of pregnant people and their doctors at risk,” the ACLU of Arizona said.

The ban also carries a penalty of two to five years in prison for abortion providers.

The Truth About Rainbow Fentanyl: It was never meant for kids, it’s not aimed at their Halloween basket, but it does represent a real threat for casual drug users. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. Just two milligrams of fentanyl, which is equal to 10-15 grains of table salt, is considered a lethal dose. Without laboratory testing, there is no way to know how much fentanyl is concentrated in a pill or powder.

An animal tranquilizer poisoning the heroin supply has drug policy experts worried: A tranquilizer used for animals is appearing more frequently in street drugs across North America, alarming drug policy experts and harm reduction advocates alike. When injected, the mixture of xylazine and fentanyl, sometimes called “tranq dope,” can also produce grisly injuries, such as lesions or open skin ulcers. Because they can be extremely painful, some individuals who use drugs will continue to inject into these open sores and wounds for relief. However, that can make things worse, causing the wounds to necrotize, or essentially rot on the body, often requiring amputation. Sometimes, it can even result in death.
