I am SO SICK of hearing people say this kind of stupid shit.

I have worked in virology labs for 27 years now, testing experimental drugs and vaccines against many dozens of very different viruses. And yes, we have had COVID-19 in our labs for nearly a year now, and we have a large contract with the NIH to test drugs and vaccines that they submit to us. I do not work directly with COVID-19 (I test against viruses that are MUCH worse), but many of my coworkers work with it every day.

• COVID-19 is a REAL VIRUS. It is a new, distinct coronavirus, almost certainly modified in a lab from a different coronavirus by adding functions to it. It did not occur naturally from bats or pangolins or any other animal.
• Saying that COVID-19 is just the flu is as stupid as insisting that a walrus is really a gazelle. Such a statement literally is that incredibly stupid, and you make yourself look like a braindead moron when you spout stupid shit like that.
• Most of my colleagues and coworkers are brainwashed to think that drugs like HCQ are worthless and do not work because they have only seen results of testing HCQ by itself (which does not work), not in combination with other materials such as zinc and Azithromycin. The brainwashing is DEEP within the virology community.
• The reason that cases of the flu have been almost nonexistant over the last year is not because COVID-19 is really the flu, but because they share some respiratory symptoms in common and doctors/hospitals/researchers are being given financial incentives by governments to intentionally misdiagnose flu cases as being COVID-19 instead. COVID tests are intentionally being run through far too many amplification cycles so that they give a positive result when they would normally give a negative result.
• Masks and face coverings do NOT stop viruses, although most of my coworkers have been brainwashed to believe otherwise. With COVID-19 and the much worse viruses I work with, we wear powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) that filter the air through a HEPA filter before you breathe it. I have had CDC inspectors make fun of us for wearing surgical masks under our PAPRs because "you do know that surgical masks don't stop viruses, right?". I have to explain to them that we don't wear them to stop viruses, but to catch the snot and spittle if we sneeze inside our respirators so that we don't mess up the inside of our face shields.

I would say that <5% of the COVidiots out there are actively and knowingly involved in this PLANdemic, and the rest of them are simply people (mostly well-intentioned) who have been successfully brainwashed and will need to be deprogrammed somehow. Every single one of my colleagues are good people who truly believe the misinformation that they have been brainwashed with, and are not and never would be knowingly involved with these kinds of lies and deceptions. But they have been unknowingly coopted into the entire conspiracy as pawns. I imagine 99% of doctors/nurses/medical workers are the same.

Please stop spouting stupid shit you heard on a youtube video or read on some sketchy website. You clearly have no idea how incredibly stupid you make yourself look when you do. Use your brain and learn to tell the difference between truth and bullshit.

Coronavirus is common cold

Not according to everyone on the Left who are pushing this vaccine.
