    Yeah, but we’re still waiting for your explanation as to why MIT Tech review was wrong and you’re right, Trans.

    Take a deep breath, push down and hold. We know you can do it.

    Go!

    Roberts told Professor David Flint that in March 2021, as the mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign got underway, he asked both the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Australia and the head of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the nation’s drug regulator, if the vaccines were 100% safe.

    The Australian senator shared, “The immediate answer was, no they are not.” TrialSite reminds all that no vaccines are 100% safe. There are no perfect solutions to public health. There are instead tradeoffs where hopefully smart, objective biomedical scientists, physicians, regulators and other relevant experts in their respective fields determine the risk-benefit analysis—do the benefits of such vaccines markedly outweigh risks at a population/societal level? But that’s the reality of how vaccination works. Thus, Robert’s first question to the heads of Australia’s vaccine response was just not based on a notion of reality.

    But Roberts’ second question to the CMO and head of TGA was more on point, a question grounded in real-world reality. He asked, “Will they stop someone from getting the virus?” He told the interviewer that these top medical and regulatory heads in Australia declared, “No they will not.”

    So, this was an honest answer. By March 2021, TrialSite was already learning of breakthrough infections due to the Delta variant, meaning that these COVID-19 vaccines were not of the sterilizing type. They could not stop all infectious transmission meaning that they could not be counted on to control the pandemic.

    Question – contributions on the Cat had the aboriginals did not have the tools to skin animals. The hunted animals and threw the dead body on to a fire and ripped it apart to feed them selves.
    Is this correct ?
    Skinning animals for their fur would not be possible?
