“Senate report on COVID coronavirus origins the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 that resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic was most likely the result of a research-related incident https://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/report_an_analysis_of_the_origins_of_covid-19_102722.pdf Dec. 20, 2019 to Jan. 18, 2020 Searches for flu-like symptoms Cases probably started mid October, 2019 Analysis of Natural Zoonotic Origins Hypothesis Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) Lack of intermediate bats to humans Virus likely needed to circulate in an intermediate host An animal virus must evolve to gain human infecting potential Closest virus is in horseshoe bats residing in Southern China or Southeast Asia Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak Differs from Previous Natural Zoonotic Spill overs Lack of dead ends spill over events, no epidemiological train in animals or humans Influenza Infected poultry and birds always found H7N9 (2019) multiple independent introductions across multiple locations Geographically disparate, independent spill overs of H7N9 Avian Influenza had circulated in bird populations, time and several provinces in China before the first known human infections SARS epidemic At least five independent spill overs of the SARS virus into humans Live animal markets followed by human to human E.g. Guangdong Province, November 2002 to January 2003 SARS, later on in 2003 – 2004 Additional independent subsequent spill over infections in humans Civets identified within 6 months Early SARS viral samples from humans contained genetic mutations that reflected prior circulation and adaptation in palm civets In total contrast Chinese government, asserted that the COVID-19 originated from a natural zoonotic transmission occurring at the Huanan market Geo-temporal spread of COVID-19 in China, December 31, 2019 to February 11, 2020 Earliest identified SARS-CoV-2 well-adapted for human-to-human transmission Early SARS-CoV-2 variants had little genetic diversity, 2 nucleotides out of 29,900 (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Uracil) No evidence of previous intermediate host circulation Genetic similarity between the environmental samples and human viral samples, supports the likelihood that the virus found at the Huanan Seafood Market was shed by humans Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, to address pandemic preparedness and response programs Interim report, to examine the two prevailing theories of origin Last fifteen months Reviewed several hundred scientific studies, interviewed several dozen subject matter experts, analyzed previous reports and studies. I hope this report will guide the World Health Organization and other international institutions Introduction Challenging Since January 3, 2020, People’s Republic of China (PRC) have prohibited sharing or publishing any information on SARS-CoV-2 without state review and approval. Establishing timeline, is difficult Mid October, 2019″ === |

25 Countries With The Highest Rate of Atheism…

“Are you a religious person? Do you believe In God, good car insurance, or some other higher power? In today’s video, we look at the countries with the highest rate of residents that don’t believe In God or some other higher power. This video Is not promoting any religious views. It Is just some Interesting numbers.” I don’t mean to nit pick…but I never much liked people summing up atheism as “people who don’t believe in god”… …Atheism is a stance of rejection towards theism…While lacking belief in gods may naturally flow from this foundation, I find it an important distinction that atheism is not rooted in the idea that “I don’t believe in gods”. No…theism and it’s various religions are complex social structures, intimately interwoven with the fabric of a larger culture…Theism is powerful and often oppressive…plus it has many, many integrity deficits…making it a common home for cruel scoundrels, who want the public veneer of pious stature. …Claims of gods are merely one thing theism attempts to force upon the rest of us…and there is so, so much more to stand up in opposition to. Good grief…When taking inventory…as an atheist myself…I honestly think questions of the existence of gods, are probably the least pressing issue, where it comes to social and personal problems caused by theism. I mean…you’re not entitled to my belief, just because you assert “there exists a god”…I give no free passes on that… …But ultimately…”there exists gods”…”gods don’t exist”…Who cares?…Why care?…The existence of such beings is nowhere credibly to be seen… …Withholding belief is always justified, where no credible, convincing evidence can be found. But, again…atheism is not based on this singular question…It’s a rejection of theism. Being an atheist does not bar us from accepting, that abnormal, unexplained…even theoretically “supernatural” experiences do happen. As an atheist [formerly raised baptist]…I’ve had many experiences I cannot easily explain…Based on my personal life experiences, I’m not entirely convinced that ESP is pure bunk, for example… I don’t reject spirituality…nor entirely “the spirit world”…Or, to put it another way…I’ve had enough strange experiences, to where I withhold my rejection of it. |
