Gates Foundation contributes $1.2 billion to the fight to eradicate polio worldwide
Easy enough, if they could eradicate stupid.
[FoxNews] The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced $1.2 billion on Sunday for efforts to eradicate polio worldwide.

Polio was paralyzing tens of thousands of children a year in dozens of countries around the world just a few decades ago, but the virus is now only endemic in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Part of the success in eradicating the virus is due to the nearly $5 billion that the Gates Foundation has contributed to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.

"Polio eradication is within reach. But as far as we have come, the disease remains a threat. Working together, the world can end this disease," Bill Gates said in a statement.

Despite the success in fighting the virus, samples of the poliovirus have been detected in wastewater this year, in New York. A 20-year-old Rockland County man became paralyzed after contracting the virus this summer.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency last month, urging residents to get vaccinated.

Polio was also detected in wastewater in London earlier this year.

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative will require $4.8 billion in funding through 2026 with the goal of vaccinating 370 million children.

"The fight against polio has done far more than protect children against polio. It has played a key role in strengthening health systems," Melinda French Gates said in a statement.

Given the LSD's OPEN BORDERS and having seen the effects and the panic of polio as a child in Rural Ga. 60+ years ago, I cannot fault Gates on this one.

#3 Oh, if only the CIA hadn't used a fake polio vaccination in Pakistan to try to find Bin Laden.

It could have been eradicated by now. But no, we can't have nice things.

#5 The polio vaccine actually does what medical authorities claim it does. It’s a real vaccine, and it works.

The mRNA experimental gene therapy is not a vaccine. It doesn’t work, and it has horrific side effects that are up to 100 times more probable and more devastating than the disease.

The medical authorities have be loaned themselves and lied shamelessly with this one. They have no credibility at this point.

We’ve fallen a long way down from the days of Jonas Salk.

#6 The polio vaccine is a cleverly made carrier of mutagens genetically targeting the Muslim population. It was created to render them infertile and impotent. That is why wise muslims stay away from it.

#7 Others it has no major effect on. They just don't get polio.

#8 They’re doing gain of function research again. Unfuckingbelievable.

The Florida lawyer Jeff Childers (coffeeandcovid.com) today is at the top of his game:

“Let’s have a little thought experiment. Try to imagine the dumbest thing the public health experts could do at this point. Allow that the PHE folks do stupid stuff all the time, so you have to thing big. No, BIGGER. Think even dumber than whatever you’re thinking right now. The DUMBEST POSSIBLE thing.

On Friday, BioRxIV naively published a blandly-named study titled “Role of spike in the pathogenic and antigenic behavior of SARS-CoV-2 BA.1 Omicron.” There are 23 scientists credited with helping create the study, and the acknowledgements identify it was funded by a major grant from the NIH/NIAID.

The study provides a detailed, step-by-step recipe for how to genetically enhance the Omicron virus to make it vaccine-resistant, lung-penetrable, and 80% lethal.

They didn’t even wait till the first pandemic was over! They’re so excited for a doomsday virus, and so impatient with Mother Nature, that they are going to just manufacture it themselves, through gain-of-function research that should be so toxic it gets you hounded out of your career and driven into a life of humiliating obscurity. Not published.

Think I’m exaggerating? Here’s how the researchers described their work:

We generated chimeric recombinant SARS-CoV-2 encoding the S gene of Omicron in the backbone of an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate and compared this virus with the naturally circulating Omicron variant. The Omicron S-bearing virus robustly escapes vaccine-induced humoral immunity, mainly due to mutations in the receptor binding motif (RBM), yet unlike naturally occurring Omicron, efficiently replicates in cell lines and primary-like distal lung cells. In K18-hACE2 mice, while Omicron causes mild, non-fatal infection, the Omicron S-carrying virus inflicts severe disease with a mortality rate of 80%.

These mad scientists and generous government grant-approvers know better than anyone that we JUST went through a global pandemic almost certainly caused by a virus that was produced by gain of function research to “enhance” its transmissibility and pathogenicity, which LEAKED OUT OF A LAB. And they know it’s been illegal to conduct gain of function research in the U.S. since the Obama Administration.

Why, oh why, are these criminals, I mean scientists, still allowed to tinker around with this kind of explosive material? Why haven’t we ALREADY passed laws criminalizing ALL gain of function research? Seriously. Gain of function research merits the death penalty or something, no appeals. And WHY is the government still PAYING FOR gain of function research, or whatever obtuse euphemism they are using these days to disguise the fact that it’s ‘gain of function research’?

Have we learned NOTHING from the Wuhan lab leak?
