THE COVID EXPERIMENT

Twenty years ago, my risk (and the risk for 7 billion others) of being infected by a genetically altered corona virus from horseshoe bats out of Southwest China was Zero to None. Then came the SARS epidemic of 2002 and 774 people died, so scientific researchers decided they would get together and make the world a safer place by locating these caves, taking infected bats back to their virology labs and performing “gain of function” experiments” on the virus so that they could be prepared for the next pandemic. Strict protocols were followed to minimize the risk of contagion. Now I am told that my chances of being infected by a genetically altered corona virus from horseshoe bats out of Southwest China have gone from Zero to Inevitable. These same scientific researchers are saying that they have a solution: a new type of vaccine built to alter my immune system to fight this dreadful disease. If I politely decline their assistance I am labelled a Granny-Killer, a Selfish, Immature, un-Christian Troublemaker spreading “false information” because the goal is “herd immunity” and I am standing in the way! I think these new drugs will make us “safe” the same way the atomic bomb made us “safe”.
