The same world where 51 former intelligence officials assert that Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation". There's a whole class of slashdotters that fall for the argument from authority every time, whether its 41 scientist whose career is dependent upon future funding of gain of function adjacent research or 51 former intel who hope to further their career in a Biden administration. You could even extend that to the 90%+ of climate scientists who back any climate -cooling- -warming- _change_ claims that would increase funding to their field... never asking the question: "Who benefits?"
You don't learn how to aim with a 50 BMG either, you start on something smaller to get the fundamentals right before moving up to something more costly and dangerous.
Same thing in biotech, you don't want an early mistake to wipe out your best minds before your program gets off the ground. A relatively weak coronavirus is like starting with a 22lr, just strong enough to know where you hit to verify your fundamentals.
Fundamentals have now been verified.
IIRC those who were on board with the lab leak theory magically changed their minds after getting their research fully funded. They totally could have changed their minds organically though, the timing of the gigantic grants could be completely coincidental.
"Debunked by experts in the field" of bioengineering whose paychecks rely on gain of function research continuing to be funded. Sounds about like big tobacco employed doctors recommending a certain brand of cigarettes, but OK.
If you look carefully on the carvings of ancient Mesopotamia, you'll notice bands above certain joints on the Anunaki. Ancient Aliens have all sorts of crazy explanations of what they are, but each of the bands has a tendon like attachment affixed to it and to another band (or shoe) on the other side of the joint. They appear to be relatively lightweight, gravity assisted exoskeletons rather than some ancient apple space watch.
TLDR: Cheaper fertilizer and gun powder... the gun powder research probably started minutes after publication while fertilizer research will be dependent on some patent expiration date
If you said this a year ago, the same "journalists" would have called you a conspiracy theorist. Lately the "news" is just last year's mis/dis/mal-information pushed through a woke filter.
Its lawfare intended to silence dissent.
Too many globalist policies rely on climate alarmism to tolerate questioning "the science".
Who funded the lawsuit?
The flavor compound in old school Listerine plus citric acid so all your food can have that awful OJ+mouthwash taste that never seems to go away. PASS. What's next; neem oil and fenugreek?
So the globalist regime pushing for more globalism is doing a probe to understand how the global economy works?
Do you now understand how these people were dumb enough to think their sanctions would hurt Russia more than the west and turn the ruble to rubble?
The study only claimed that it didn't reduce progression from mild or moderate to severe disease. Any medication with a 5 day dosing that acts by preventing replication is unlikely to prevent progression that typically happens within 5 days unless there's an unexpected mechanism (such as binding affinity to some part of the virus itself)
I would say this study was designed to fail and ensure future grant funding if it didn't still include the relevant data: 70% reduction in fatalities, 60% reduction in mechanical ventilation and 25% reduction in ICU admittance
In no way does this study indicate that ivermectin shouldn't be used - it may be useful (when compared to other data) in determining whether or not to give it as early treatment for all positive tests or wait until a later stage if resources are limited.
