WGN News Mar 21, 2023
A fungus that poses “an urgent antimicrobial resistance threat,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has already been detected in more than half of U.S. states. Candida auris, or C. auris, is so concerning because it is often resistant to anti-fungal drugs, making it hard to treat infections. It can also be hard to identify with standard lab tests, making it even more difficult to treat properly and early.

Seven young members of Generation Z have big plans and dreams - until the coronavirus hits. Suddenly, they find themselves in a world that has transformed completely. They’ll need creativity and resilience to cope. Each of them harbors a long-held dream. Cassandra from South Africa, for example, is looking forward to her time working on a cruise ship -- and ends up in pandemic quarantine, instead. Or Jessica, a 23-year-old single mother from the US, who is politicized by the murder of George Floyd and joins the "Black Lives Matter” movement. The Indian YouTuber Shakir embarks on his dream, setting out on motorbike for an overland journey from India to Europe. When he’s stranded along the way, his trip takes a turbulent turn -- and he becomes a social media and TV star back home. They’re all members of Generation Z - the first generation to grow up with social media. Each of these young people have active social media channels with as many as a million subscribers. These online channels provide a means for them to communicate and express themselves. There, they share everything from news about long-distance relationships to job losses and financial hardship; they post emotional statements on political events alongside thoughtful reflections on the role of social media in their lives. But have they themselves become a product? Video footage shot by the subjects themselves is used to sensitively illuminate how these young people deal with the strange new world they are living in. #documentary #dwdocumentary #socialmedia #coronavirus

Oxford University https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023... Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology Wuhan researchers were importing bat coronaviruses, had applied for grants to increase their infectiousness (gain-of-function research) False impression given in journals https://www.thelancet.com/journals/la... We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Bob Seely MP It’s pathetic You have this unholy and unethical alliance of scientists working together through highly influential publications effectively to kibosh what may be a scientific truth, and get it pushed into the realms of conspiracy theory. We need to be asking tough questions about the origins, otherwise who knows what virus will be released next, through incompetence and ambition and how many more millions it will be killing. This is not some political game. We’ve got to find out where this thing came from. If you had a virus that suddenly emerged a few hundred yards from Porton Down, this country would never be able to get away with it. (Or a few miles from Camp Detrick, Maryland) Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology The conflict arises from the fact the researchers perform, and want to continue to perform, precisely the sorts of experiment that make a lab leak much more likely. These include gain-of-function experiments, where they investigate whether they can enable, by genetic modification, an animal virus to infect human cells. It is argued that this could help us identify potentially dangerous organisms in the wild and so prevent a pandemic. This seems unlikely. What is more likely is that these organisms will infect those doing the experiments, who could unwittingly spread the virus to the community, and possibly the whole world little justification for doing such experiments, except scientific curiosity and the desire for prestige US position, Wuhan Institute of Virology Case will be proved soon Senate unanimously passed bill last week https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-new... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hous...

In January of 2020, Dr. Fauci received emails that promulgated that COVID-19 looked engineered and not from the wild, Yet three weeks later, to save his own skin, he commissioned a scientific paper which ‘debunked’ the lab theory. He was academically and intellectually dishonest. The truth is that Dr. Fauci and his institution funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to promote dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology without proper guardrails Rep. Jim Himes There’s not one iota of evidence for any of that (Still wants evidence released) At every juncture, the People's Republic of China government has obfuscated and obstructed legitimate inquiries and investigations into the origins of the disease China’s approach has been deeply irresponsible and dangerous to global public health Mr Hancock Asked to remove passages from Pandemic Diaries Questioned the official Chinese version https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023...

The origin of Covid-19 still eludes the scientific community, but the FBI's assertion that Covid-19 most likely originated in a Chinese government-controlled lab has ramped up the debate. The FBI's position runs contrary to some other US government agencies, some of whom have said, with a low level of certainty, that the virus did not start in a lab but instead jumped from animals to humans, possibly in Wuhan's seafood and wildlife market. Now the World Health Organisation has responded saying that until they have conclusive evidence, all hypotheses are on the table. What evidence do we have of how the pandemic spread so fast and so far? Newsnight's David Grossman reports.
