Sputnik Came Crashing back to Earth

Submitted by Nathan J Green

When the Russian built Sputnik became the first artificial satellite to enter space on Oct. 4, 1957, its alien beeping shocked America. Its signal stopped after just three weeks, and three months later, sky gazers could no longer see a little moving dot. It was the sputnik failure. Now there is another Sputnik failure.

An announcement appeared in the Russian publication ‘Tass’ and most regional press and online media sites. “Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was the first island nation of the Caribbean to register Sputnik V,” the statement said. “The vaccine was approved in Montenegro, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under the emergency use authorization procedure without any additional local clinical trials.” They accepted it face value and commenced dishing it out.

Remember how the SVGs PM rushed to have his virus shots, said he was setting an example, hoping Vincentians would follow his example.

He chose to import the Russian ‘Sputnik V Vaccine’, which many, including myself, said was the worst of the batch. It was said initially at the time, it was only 50% effective. The Russians changed that, later announcing it was 80% effective.

Well, now it turns out it is hardly effective at all against the new variation of the virus, as Russia battles the surging Delta variant.

Vaccinated Russians are catching the Delta virus as Russia reported 24,353 new coronavirus cases on Monday, the third-highest number of daily infections since early January.

Moscow will start offering booster shots of the Sputnik V vaccine for individuals vaccinated more than six months ago, Moscow’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced last Thursday.

Germany started to close its borders to Russians starting Tuesday to prevent the importation of mutated Covid-19 strains, the German Embassy in Moscow announced.

Russia has confirmed the first Delta Plus coronavirus variant infections within its borders days after media sounded the alarm about the presence of the potentially more dangerous new strain.

Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said Tuesday that 151,000 people in Russia are currently in hospital with the coronavirus.

Vincentians who have had the Sputnik Vaccine should ask him/it when they get the required booster shot. Let us hope this is not left until it is too late. Venezuela has lots; it was their leading choice because it was free, a gift from Russia.

At this very moment, it is probably more important than ever to seal SVGs borders, yes right now, follow the science, follow Germany’s lead, who closed her borders yesterday. Every Vincentian is at risk again due to a wrong choice by him/it.

Germany partially closed its borders with the Czech Republic and Austria’s Tyrol on Sunday over a troubling surge in coronavirus mutations. A thousand police officers have been mobilized to ensure strict border checks, which recall the much-criticized early days of the pandemic when EU countries hastily closed their frontiers to each other. That action has since been proven to be the correct procedure. When in doubt keep them out.

Every choice made by him/it has been the wrong choice, just as Vincentians’ wrong choice was in choosing a know all no nothing, such a fat liability. Now it is time to follow the science and make the right choice. Lock down the borders and give all those Vincentians previously vaccinated with the Sputnik V vaccine a booster shot.

  1. Attached are two of the regular weekly charts showing the incidence and percentage positivity of the disease over the last 9 days. I expect to add a third chart on percentage of adult population vaccinated by next week. The news today was not good in that the Covid team announced that a new significant spike was now being processed from today. The charts indicate that such spikes, though alarming, are now becoming almost routine. The back story of the 2 charts here suggest that the various Covid19 teams will continue to do excellent work in contact tracing, monitoring and limiting spread and continuing the effective management of the spike.

  2. Jolly Green is an alarmist. In so doing he tells an incomplete tale of Sputnik V.
    In that tale of woe he ignores a salient point. That vaccine may not necessarily prevent contracting the Delta variant but could prevent hospitalization and death to a certain degree.he misguidedly denigrate the massive contributions of Russian scientists in all fields.

    In his quest to rubbish Russia and the former Soviet Union as scientifically backwards. The reverse is true. The truth has been and is that Russia, as measured by International knowledged production standards, was and is a world leader.
    Jolly Green, your political gripe with Gonzales should not extend to this tired canard about communism as even Russia, today, is more capitalist in some ways than the Great Satan itself for whom you seem to lack any substantial critique.


  3. To my way of thinking, all of these countries have the same problem, it’s in the water!!

    The variant theory comes from the narrative that was invented to explain the second wave of the Spanish Flu when in truth and in fact spread by water could also have explained it.

    Ongoing waves in 1917 may have been prevented because people back then may have taken greater precautions wit the water they consumed.

    There is an element of probability involved in it reaching consumers and causing ongoing outbreaks just like what we are observing.

    Test the water.

    Look for the hot spots.

    Meanwhile Dominica remains untroubled, 197 cases and zero deaths.

    Its water source is separated from physical contact with any sewage.


  4. The World Health Organization [WHO] have to date refused to approve the Sputnik V vaccine. Are they wrong as well?


  5. Tell the poor Cuban people who are at this very moment rising up and demanding the end of communist rule in Cuba, are they wrong. The problem is you people who support communism are a cancer in the Caribbean.


    • It is no surprise the West will stall to approve Cuban and Russian vaccines. In much the same way the US blocked AstraZeneca to protect their Big Pharma.


  6. This is precisely the misguidance, the irrational thinking, which makes it impossible for our people to, even in the presence of incontrovertible proofs, to consider what a total collapse of capitalism, like the total collapse of communism will mean for the Caribbean peoples.

    Your adnauseum Gonzalez attacks make no sense at all for he has given up central planning philosophies a long time ago.

    Those on Cuba are even less sentient for Cuba in same ways is even more developed than those for whom you lack biting critiques.

    Why should we care what colour the cat is – once it catches mice. And capitalism has never tried to provide for the needs of all the people. At least the former communists in Cuba made a good effort.


  7. Furthermore, you Jolly Green seem to be in the dark when it comes to vaccine apartheid as being practiced by White countries, evidenced by relative vaccination rates in the North as compared to the South. That is your capitalist ideal.

    So countries like Cuba, Iran under criminal US sanctions as a means of war are even prevented from importing precursors necessary to try to save the lives of their people. And with this genocide taking place in front your very eyes you can talk shiiite about communism. An organizing principle long dead.


  8. Kalashnikov rifle cheaper better easy repair in field, russians arent stupid people I am sure their vaccine will work just fine and is being adjusted all the time.. Now the first trials on skripal and navalny left a lot to be desired but I am sure they are on track now.


  9. Lawson
    Far be it for us to be seen here as defending any goverment. However, you’ve got to be careful with the propaganda wars being fought, on both side, daily.

    Amercan empire is collapsing and they are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain hegemonic control.

    In the regard, Kripal and Navalny are not dissimilar to the Russian election intelligence agencies project of misguidance.

    In the case of Navalny, he is merely a CIA asset they are seeking to implant into the Russian presidency. A man who almost nobody in Russia knows and can hardly get 2 percent in national polls. This is just theatre of the intelligence agency type.


  10. Nathan “Not so Jolly” Greene is more or less ignored on BU. Hardly worth replying to, really.

    Still Mc Carthying in 2021!

    Where rules this communism of which he speaks?

    Not in St. Vincent and not in Russia! Didn’t last long in Grenada.

    Maybe Cuba a little! But that would only be an argument IN FAVOUR of communism.

    P.S. The people in capitalist countries are also fighting to be free.

    So wuh is he point?


  11. Let’s say the huge spread in India was from bathing in the Mother Ganges.

    Nose, mouth eyes, skin, etc etc are all ways for it to enter the body.

    The outfall from the sewage plants on the South Coast and Bridgetown could be setting the same scene as the sewage entering the Ganges.

    And then various hotels will also be setting the scene as well.

    Keep outta de sea!!

    If you’d ever been in India you’ll known that hygiene deficiencies are not limited to the Ganges.

    It’s amazing however that this ill-founded water theory of yours persist twenty months into a pandemic, even in the absence of any scientific foundation.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    I just missed out on passing thru back in the early 2000’s with my hiking group on the way to Everest Base Camp.

    But having gone around the world and lived in all sorts of places my observation is that hygiene deficiencies are common the world over … even in Barbados!!

    … and of course, also in Dominica where COVID deaths are zero.

    It is a natural state through which every human passes, we are all born and live in poop for many years.

    But apart from issues of hygiene, you would appreciate that the Ganges exists because of a natural set of geographical circumstances peculiar to India.

    There are no other Rivers like the Ganges in existence anywhere else in the world.

    There is no similar observation of faith such as Kumbh Mela.

    Guess what, the upsurge in COVID was specific to the specific time period of Kumbh Mela.

    You will also see that there were areas of India where there was no upsurge.

    You will also notice, if you have your head on, that up to Kumbh Mela, India was doing just fine.

    One of these things is not like the other!!


  19. Why does Dominica continue to show minimal COVID cases and ZERO COVID deaths after all these months/years?

    Why do Singapore/New Zealand/Australia etc seem not to have a problem?


  20. Johnny
    Since you are inviting us to deploy a limited resource, let’s try a simply equation.

    More than 7 billion humans must drink water or water-derived liquids every day.

    And after 20 months, less than 0.01 percent of the world’s population has died from Covid, officially.

    We are unable to recall the numbers contracting it.

    But as a simple thought experiment, even given chlorination and other variables, would it not make sense to suggest the null hypothesis.


  21. PachamamaJuly 13, 2021 3:59 AM

    And after 20 months, less than 0.01 percent of the world’s population has died from Covid, officially.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    And in Dominica (and in 12 other countries in the world), less than 0.0 percent of the population has died from COVID … officially.

    How many magnitudes of size larger is 0.01percent when compared with 0.0 percent?

    What is 0.01 expressed as a percentage of 0.0?


  22. I have thought very long and hard and here are the results.

    I THINK this John lunatic is wasting his time thinking about the Democrat Hoax disease he predicted would be gone with the Orange Peril.

    I think he should spend his time looking for the Kraken he predicted would be unleashed on Joe Biden.

    And lastly, I think he should think about taking the Trump Test to prove he is “cognitively there”.

    Judging by the results of his predictions so far, he is not all there at all, at all!

    Not worth spending one joule of energy following a loony down his rabbit hole when we can stay at the top and giggle.
    😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆


  23. Johnny

    Yours has nothing to do with the relationship between water and the Covid death toll as the two variables in question.

    When you were a fervent Trumpeteer you would argue that such numbers were so minuscule, in the region of flu deaths.

    Statistically, we are now to believe that the absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

    Superimposed by the farcical notion of the multiplication of your surname expecting to get a number larger than nought.

    Nobody knows (or is supposed to know) where the hot spots are.

    I don’t buy the claim that suddenly people are not following protocols or that curfews need to reinstituted.

    After how many months of protocols and curfews we still have a problem which would suggest the real causes are not being addressed.


  26. You may be on to something.

    I can’t recall any mention of COVID cases in Boscobelle!!

    Here but I’m Gone, Part II Curtis Mayfield

    How did I get so far gone?
    Where do I belong?
    And where in the world did I ever go wrong?

    If I took the time to replace
    What my mind erased
    I still feel as if I’m here but I’m gone

    Porched up in a rocking-chair
    With my feet all bare
    Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap

    Live an adolescent mind
    Never do take the time
    Waiting for my high, quiet as it’s kept

    How did I get so far gone?
    Where do I belong?
    And where in the world did I ever go wrong?

    If I took the time to replace
    What my mind erased
    I still feel as if I’m here but I’m gone

    Mama told me I was best
    Argue and punch in the chest
    Son, now be strong, let me take you home

    I’d see in her eyes so sincere
    Screaming, what got me here
    Standing in the world with my mind all blown

    How did I get so far gone?
    Where do I belong?
    And where in the world did I ever go wrong?

    If I took the time to replace
    What my mind erased
    I still feel as if I’m here but I’m gone

    How did I get so far gone?
    Where do I belong?
    And where in the world did I ever go wrong?

    If I took the time to replace
    What my mind erased
    I still feel as if I’m here but I’m gone

    I do nothing but waste all my time
    Leaving the world behind
    Smoking my crack just to keep me high

    Around the boys I play my part rough
    Keep myself tough enough
    Never to cry, don’t really wanna die

    How did I get so far gone?
    Where do I belong?
    And where in the world did I ever go wrong?

    If I took the time to replace
    What my mind erased

  30. Truth vs Covid-19 misinformation
    THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC has been accompanied by misinformation – also known as fake news – and even conspiracy theories, about the virus, how it spreads, and the effectiveness of our efforts in controlling the pandemic.
    The issue was so bad that the Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus warned that “we’re not just fighting a pandemic; we’re fighting an infodemic. Fake news spreads faster and more easily than this virus, and is just as dangerous”.
    Who is starting this misinformation?
    The misinformation arises from many sources. We have had presidents of countries, in places like United States and Brazil, who downplayed the potential danger posed by COVID-19, and stated that this virus “is just like the flu”, and “in a few days all will be gone”. We have had a head of government promote unproven (and dangerous) therapies, including bleach injections.
    We have had people who claimed to be doctors state, in front of a battery of news cameras, that they had identified “the cure for COVID-19” and that they had saved the lives of hundreds of people who had developed the disease. [At the same time as they are saying this, the ticker tape at the side of the television screen shows the large number of people in that country who had died from COVID-19].
    How is this misinformation spread?
    Communication has moved on from the three Ts: “telegraph, telephone or tell it to a woman”.
    The source of news can conveniently be separated into two categories: the conventional media, like radio, newspapers and television, attract one set of people, while newer “social” media, including private messaging apps and streaming sites, generally present their own set of facts and have their own audiences.
    One main feature that separates these two categories is the age of the audience, with younger people more closely aligned to the new social media.
    Social media, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, encourage people to share their views with everyone willing to tune in: anyone and everyone can be a publisher. These sites have many millions of followers around the world, but also encourage contributors anxious for fame and fortune, even if they have to serve up “alternative facts”.
    The “private” messaging apps, like WhatsApp, Messenger and TikTok, among others, allow encrypted messages to be spread among people without any (or precious little) scrutiny. “Alternative facts” can also be spread through this media like a wildfire.
    Person to person messaging: this is simply “gossiping”. Gossip is known to “increase in intensity” as it moves along the people chain. Fake news is spread person to person, sometimes through ignorance, and sometimes through maliciousness. Either scenario is dangerous, especially when it refers to public health.
    Generally, genuine public health messages cannot compete with the volume of misinformation generated on even a daily basis. And as most people may have realised by now, once fake news gets a head start, even Usain Bolt may not be able to catch it. Public health messages, which seek to promote the truth, cannot compete head-to-head with the untruths generated by fake news sources.
    What ‘misinformation’ is being spread?
    Some of the misinformation includes: The pharmaceutical industry invented COVID-19 to promote sales of vaccines and other medications.
    COVID-19 was developed by the Chinese government as a type of biological weapon to reduce non-Chinese populations.
    Vaccines don’t work.
    Vaccines cause autism.
    The COVID-19 vaccine re-writes your DNA.
    The COVID-19 vaccine will cause long-term complications.
    Vaccines make you magnetic.
    The COVID-19 vaccines are causing COVID-19 variants.
    There is a micro-chip in the COVID-19 vaccine which will allow the government (or Bill Gates) to control you.
    The unfortunate result, from a public health point of view, is that people who listen and “embrace” some of this misinformation, are generally less willing to follow public health recommendations, like wearing masks, getting tested for the virus, and coming out for the vaccine.
    How should we respond?
    Psychological theory (“the science”) states that the best way of dealing with misinformation is to establish a head start in the provision of genuine
    information: the truth. Our public health officials need to step up their efforts in health promotion if they wish to head-off fake news.
    When the misinformation gets a head start, and especially when some of the misinformation has an element of truth, for example, the pharmaceutical industry is making millions of dollars from COVID-19, then conspiracy theories will attract a crowd. And COVID-19 loves crowds. But these officials also need to identify their target audiences, and identify the most appropriate strategies to reach each target group. This is one way of saying: “one size does not fit all”. This gives us the best chance of keeping ahead of the pandemic.
    As this pandemic seems to go on and on, COVID-19 fatigue will continue to grow, as will the reluctance to follow safety protocols and the pressure to return to the good old (pre-COVID-19 open economy) days.
    This is very dangerous, and can easily trigger a surge in the number of cases. Prevention, in terms of a targeted health information campaign, is always better than cure.

  31. George’s caution
    CMO urges Bajans not to panic over Covid-19 case spike
    by COLVILLE MOUNSEY colvillemounsey@nationnews.com
    BARBADIANS ARE BEING urged to temper their fears over the recent spike in COVID-19 cases, as it is still too early to say if the island is going through its third wave of the pandemic.
    This word of caution comes from Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George, who told the MIDWEEK NATION that the rise in cases currently does not yet meet the statistical definition of a wave.
    The Chief Medical Officer’s comments came on the same day that several restaurateurs, both fast food and fine dining, expressed some nervousness over the development which has resulted in a tightening of protocols, including a return of the 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew.
    However, George said he would be in a position to state if the country was indeed undergoing a third wave or if tighter measures were needed after he monitored the trends over the next two weeks.
    “I can’t give that confirmation yet, it is too early to say. We are following the issue very closely and a pronouncement would be made at a later date. So, we are monitoring the spike, it has come down a bit, we can’t rush and make a decision based on one spike because that is not how we do good public health. We have to look at the trends over a two-week period and see where it is at and then we would be able to make an informed comment,” said George.
    He further explained: “We need to look at the number of cases presented over time. There is a statistical method that we use to decide if there is a wave. People need to bear in mind that one
    spike does not equate to a wave, a spike is just that. If we start to see multiple spikes and multiple upward trends, then that is a different story. As it stands now, we have to see where the trends take us before we can determine if we are in a third wave.”
    However, managers and owners of six prominent restaurants said the latest development was eerily similar to the start of the country’s two previous lockdowns.
    Owner of Champer’s Restaurant Cheril Newman said the reversion to the 11 p.m. curfew would result in some loss of business, but said the situation was manageable provided that numbers did not rise resulting in a further tightening of restrictions at a time when her business was just starting to pick up momentum. She explained that were this situation to escalate to the point of a shutdown, it would be the death knell of her business and several others in the sector.
    Must finish earlier
    “The return to curfew will impact us in that we will have to finish earlier as we would now have to stop serving by 10 p.m. and have all bills closed in order to give our staff the hour to get home. So it impacts on you because you can no longer do 8:30 p.m. reservations and upwards, you are essentially back to your very early dining. I am happy that we are able to do some dining as opposed to a lockdown because I don’t know any restaurant business that would be able to survive it,” said Newman.
    Manager of Tide’s Restaurant Jimion Yarde shared a similar sentiment, noting that their establishment had already reverted to their early dining protocols. He said, however, they simply could not sustain another closure of any kind.
    “The 11 p.m. curfew is not ideal for the restaurant business, but it is still something that we can
    work through, as we have been doing in recent months to counter the threat that is currently facing the country. The thing that worries me is that I don’t think that this sector, or any business for that matter, can sustain any further blows in the form of lockdowns. So we are really hoping that it does not get to that point,” he said,” also sparing a thought for entertainers who plied their trade on the restaurant circuit.
    Manager of the Burger King franchise Ryan Walters and owner of Cocktail Kitchen, Damien Leach both said their establishments were in a wait-and-see mode.
    “I am nervous because this is how it starts with two weeks first then before we know it mushrooms into something bigger. We really cannot take a shutdown of any kind; we are just starting to get back on track with our bills and rent. I will take the curfew any day because we can remain open and generate some business, but a shut down will be the end,” Leach stressed.

    This psalm was chanted by the cows carrying the Holy Ark back to the Holy Tabernacle (1 Samuel 6:12). They mooed, “Sing a new song to YHVH, For He has done wonderful things” to the many chariots and appointees of several levels that came down from the heavens to welcome the Holy Ark.

    Is it “for those who bray” or “for those who pray’

    I think it is the latter.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    In the final version for public consumption I agree.

    In the one that was swirling in the composer’s head it was seems to have been bray and related to Mrs. Roosevelt, a democrat and wife of FDR.

    In 1967 LBJ, a democrat, was the president, Vietnam was in full swing and there was a national protest against the Government and the war.

    In the 60.s LBJ was president following JFK, an era of Democratic rule.

    The song seems to have started as most of that era did, as a song of protest.

    It is either implying democrats don’t pray or democrats/donkeys do bray.

    What’s the fancy name for that …double entendre.

    Bray works spectacularly well in this particular instance.

    So, if the shoe fits so well I will use bray.

  40. Anyway, nice digression but let’s get back to COVID.

    One of the benefits of having so many variants is that when a fully “vaccinated” person gets COVID it is easy for the press to say or imply that the vaccine may not have worked on the particular variant and that particular variant is particularly virulent.

    .. a kind of double entendre.

  42. Pushing vaccines while banning ivermectin is “global collusion” to cause as much harm and death as possible
    Wednesday, July 14, 2021 by: Ethan Huff

    Those working on the frontlines of the so-called “pandemic” all last year were indicating from the beginning that early treatment was of utmost importance, recommending proven remedies like hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin as therapeutic solutions. The medical deep state, however, was all the while engaged in a “global collusion” racket with Big Pharma, warns Dr. Peter McCullough, the goal of which was to “cause as much harm and death as conceivable.”

    You see, by encouraging the use of safe, inexpensive, and off-patent drugs, the real doctors trying to save lives were cutting into the profits and eugenics goals of Moderna, Tony Fauci, Bill Gates, and other corrupt globalist entities who had worked long and hard for many years to bring about the global plandemic in the first place.

    It was never about helping people or “flattening the curve,” but rather about ratcheting up the tyranny and enslaving the global population with mask mandates and now vaccine guidelines that aim to inject a bulk of the planet with experimental mRNA drugs at “warp speed” – meaning there was never a place for HCQ or ivermectin.

    They have already identified the virus in the waste water. Why would nobody in the world have even considered whether it could be the source of transmission???

    Why no hint of it in all this time?

    They have already identified the virus in the waste water. Why would nobody in the world have even considered whether it could be the source of transmission???

    Why no hint of it in all this time?

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Why would anyone in the world not realise that lockdowns, masks and social distancing are not working?

    Why did India see such a dramatic increase in COVID with the advent of Kumbh Mela??

    India alone shows a very strong link to waterborne spread.

    Here is Canada but Australia was doing it and stopped their community spread.

    Ditto Singapore and New Zealand all three of which are in control of their spread..

    Smart money must be on water.


  51. Most Governments/authorities of this world supply water to its people.

    What ever happened with Flint, Michigan.

    The story has been dropped.

    There is no way at this stage of the game that any admission will be made that water contributed to the spread.

    Too many dead people.

    Too much liability!!

    So, the Governments of this world will keep telling their people do the same thing over and over again.

    It does not matter if it doesn’t work, an alternative explanation cannot be countenanced if it attracts liability and mine will.


  52. Cuomo put old people into facilities literally to die.

    What’s the latest on him?

    Any accountability?

    Story dropped.


  53. JOHN
    WENT I TAUGHT MICROBIOLOGY TO MEDICAL STUDENTS I ASKED THEM TO WRITE AN ESSAY IN WHICH THEY LISTED AGENTS WHICH WERE SPREAD BY WATER AND THEIR TREATMENT.
    THAT SOME VIRUSES AND BACTERIA ARE TRANSMITTED BY WATER IS WELL KNOWN, EVEN IF NOT TO BU GENIASSES

    I HAVE TENDED TO SAY VERY LITTLE ABOUT COVID HERE . SINCE A SET OF BU PHARMACOLOGY ILLITERATES SOUGHT TO CONTRADICT ME ABOUT A CERTAIN AGENT, AND OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH PRINCIPLES.
    .
    PUBLIC HEALTH.PRACTICE IS MY FORTE.

    BUT ARE SAMPLES OF WATER TAKEN FROM SEVERAL PLACES ON THE ISLAND TESTED WEEKLY AS THEY ONCE USED TO BE?. IF NOT WHY NOT?

    BECAUSE OF MY LOVE FOR ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGY WERE/ARE MY FAVORITE BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCE SUBJECTS.
    WHEN I USED TO INTERVIEW DRUG REPS OR TEACH PHARM AND WHEN I LOOKED AT ANY DRUG, WHETHER ANCIENT OR MODERN, I EXAMINED, I SOUGHT TO ASCERTAIN WHAT ARE/WERE THE 12 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT ANY DRUG.

    TWO OF WHICH ARE THE MECAHNISM OF ACTION AND ITS THERAPEUTIC INDEX.

    THE DRUG THAT HAS BEEN SCOFFED AT WAS BEING USED AND IS EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OF KNOWLEDGE GLEANED ABOUT THESE TWO PARAMETERS OVER 70 YEARS OF WIDE SPREAD USE, UNTIL INEPT MEDICAL MECENARIES AND MEDICAL ILLITERATES IN HIGH PLACES FOUGHT AGAINST IT AND THE HERDS OF THE ILLITERATI FELL INTO LINE.UNIVERSALLY

    BUT THE BASIS OF MEDICINE REMAINS A SOUND KNOLEDGE OF PHYSIOLOGY, PATHOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY AND NOW EVEN BIOCHEMISTRY.

    PERHAPS YOU SHOULD LOOK AT WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT CYTOCRINES AND HOW THAT RELATES TO THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE INDUCED BY THE VIRUS AS WELL AS HOW ANY THERAPEUTIC AGENTS AFFECT TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSLATION OF THE VIRUS.

    IN ADDITION, WHAT ARE THE ADJUVANTS IN ANY OF THE VACCINES THAT ARE KNOWN IN THE PAST TO BE DISRUPTIVE.

    NOT A LOT HAS BEEN PUBLICALLY REPORTED ABOUTTHE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SIDE EFFECTS TO THE VACCINES THAT IS BEING SEEN HITHER, THITHER AND YON. WHY IS THIS..

    HAVE THERE BEEN MANY CLINICO PATHOLOGICAL CONFERENCES SURROUNDING ANY OF THOSE DYING OF COVID IN BARBADOS?
    IF SO, WHAT HAS BEEN FOUND?
    IF NOT, WHY NOT?
    HAVE WE REGRESSED IN THESE PRACTICES OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS?
    WHAT MUSIC AND PUTRID POETRY IS AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THIS CLEAR SCIENCE?


  54. Not sure if you can access the BBC iplayer to watch this show about immigrants working in NHS from Eire, Asia and the Barbados Experiment from the Caribbean. It talks how they were discriminated against and put into the undesirable jobs but made the best of it and raised the standards.

  56. If nobody takes you lot seriously, you have only yourselves to blame. You guys believed in a man who bragged about passing a cognitive test that only proves you don’t need a babysitter.

    He claims nobody ever did this before,

    “Person, woman, man, camera, tv.”

    Raving lunatic!

    MY LORD! My Youtube just threw up a video of the lunatic bragging about it again!

    THIS is the man you lot thought should be the president of the most powerful country in the world!

    What does that say about you?

    You believe in a man who can’t pass a cognitive test which only proves that he does need a babysitter!!


  58. How do you know he cannot pass a cognitive test, fool?????? Have you the results of his test???? Please, do not bring up his speaking gaffes! There are numerous compilations of Trump’s speaking gaffes at my fingertips! I play them whenever I need a laugh.

    P.S. I do not believe in Biden. I simply think he is better than a looney. I am not a cultist like you. You will not find me polluting the atmosphere with looney lies on his behalf or inserting his name into “How great Thou art”.

    He was not even my favourite candidate.

    I do NOT think he is a genius, very stable or otherwise.

    BUT HE IS SANE! Better than your guy!

    And just for the record, I find his voice annoying and Kamala Harris’ too!

    Now… back to regular scheduled programming. My next communication will be in putrid poetry or musical musings!


  59. Any body who could believe that a man who could not pass a cognitive test and shows it every day could get 78 million Americans voting for him needs a baby sitter too!!


  60. Q. HAS ANY STUDIES BEEN DONE TO PROVE OR DISPROVE THESE HYPOTHESES?
    Q DOES THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD STILL WORKS BY PUTTING FORWARD A HYPOTHESIS PRIOR TO DEVISING EXPERIMENTS AND ENGAGING IN STUDIES TO PROVE OR DISPROVE THE HYPOTHESIS.
    Q. HAS ANY EVIDENCE BEEN FOUND TO PROVE OR DISPROVE THESE HYPOTHESES?

    There are some BU contributors who seem to believe because they may have won an island scholarship, or are doctors, mathematicians, lawyers, senior editors, born and live in the UK or boast about themselves and their ‘business acumen,’ they are they are ‘fountains of wisdom’ and us lesser mortals should sit at their feet and remain silent, while listening to them pontificate about every shiite.

    I would never argue about medicine or medical theory with a medical doctor or try to prove him/her wrong. My knowledge of the subject doesn’t go any further than CXC biology and chemistry. I respect their opinions and would ask for clarification if I don’t understand something they ‘said.’

    But, from time to time those guys ‘talk’ some shiite, especially when they go out of their ‘comfort zones,’ that causes one to think………. ‘WTF!??!!’

    For example, a ‘BU regular’ mentioned something about “remembering a time when Barbados was free of crime,” to which I asked the person to ‘tell’ us the period of time they were referring to. One brilliant guy, agreed with the comment simply because he was pursuing a vendetta against me….. only to ask ‘who was the idiot that said Barbados was crime free when crime was with us from the Garden of Eden,’ when I reminded him of his comments.

    ‘Governments’ all over the world introduced similar COVID-19 protocols. We have a situation in Barbados where people are CONSTANTLY REMINDED, EVERY DAY, via print, electronic and social media, how to protect themselves and others and prevent spreading the virus………. wear mask, frequently sanitize and wash their hands, sanitize items before using them, practice social distancing, avoid over crowding (we’re given limits for the number of bus passengers, people attending church, fetes, funerals or entering business establishments, etc).

    Pray tell me, under those circumstances, how could any sane individual blame any ruling political administration for spreading the virus, if someone holds a fete where people are allowed to flout the protocols by crowding together and not wearing masks?

    Route taxi and mini-bus operators and their passengers continue to openly disregard the COVID-19 protocols, by overcrowding those vehicles…… and I’ve seen drivers, conductors and passengers not wearing masks, hands are not sanitized upon entry or the seats when passengers disembark. Under those conditions, are we going to blame ‘government’ if there is a report of virus spread?

    People held the ‘Haywire’ fete and someone is blaming ‘government’ for patrons flouting the protocols……….and a BU ‘bright boy’ is going to insult our intelligence by asking shiite about “HAS ANY STUDIES BEEN DONE TO PROVE OR DISPROVE THESE HYPOTHESES?”

    On one hand, when the COVID-19 Unit clamps down on social gathering, we’re saying ‘government’ is violating people’s constitutional rights,…….. but, on the other, were blaming ‘government’ when people social gather at fetes and there is reports of virus spread as a result.

    But, some people want us the believe our ‘government’s’ response to corona virus pandemic and EVERY POLICY so far implemented are WRONG. They always find some shiite to ‘nit pick.’


  61. I repeat, do you have the results of Joe Biden’s failed cognitive test?

    NO, YOU DO NOT!

    SO… upon WHAT do you base your assertion that he couldn’t????

    BUT… even so, of course a man who could not pass a cognitive test could get 78m votes.

    There could be 78 million stupid people. Or… there could be 78 million people who recognized the alternative is a raving lunatic!


  62. DonnaJuly 16, 2021 8:36 AM

    There could be 78 million stupid people. Or… there could be 78 million people who recognized the alternative is a raving lunatic!

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    The moon could be made of green cheese too and still, no evidence of Biden’s passed cognitive test which seems to have been withheld, but every day evidence that he can’t.

    Now you are telling us that since 64 million Frenchmen can’t be wrong then 78 million Americans can be stupid.

    .. in a country which has as many Nobel prizes as the rest of the world combined and almost 6 times as many as France.

    On that statistic alone I would suggest that it is in the rest of the world that one would find the most stupid people.

    You don’t live in America, do you?

    How many Nobel Prizes does Barbados have?

    Apart from a few Barbados Scholars, none!!


  63. Revelations and Shit
    Dumb and Dumber Trump Lovers John and GP should analyse data for Trump’s Super Spreader events to try for size the fit to their two respective hypotheses of (a) Shit in the Water and/or (b) Revelation Time madness. We await their admission that they are talking out of the hole where their foul gas escapes from as they have fuck all else to do and occasionally will follow through with wet farts and shit their pants.


  64. Meanwhile, the experts in Barbados are trying to determine whether we have a third wave of COVID infections or not.

    Masks, social distancing, contact tracing, quarantine and whatever else has once more failed.

    In Dominica and a dozen other countries there remain no deaths to COVID, and Singapore, New Zealand and Australia have eliminated community spread.

    Until our experts address the root cause of community spread there will continue to be waves.

    My advice is to look outside of Barbados at some of the examples given and learn from the success stories of which there are many.

    It is beginning to become boring to watch.

  65. Your pretzel “logic” is getting more brittle with every post. Barbados scholars and Nobel prize winners is it now? What does that prove exactly? The Nobel Prize winners are the exceptions not the rule, jackass!

    Donald Trump showed his madness every day and yet he got how many votes?

    Steupse!

    As for the liability re water – you are joking right? You feel that info wouldn’t be leaked????

    Regarding Flint, you asshole, that story did not go anywhere. The problem is being rectified or has been rectified and the victims are receiving settlements.

    But why rehash this when we can simply await the Kraken?

    When is it coming again? The Crack Pillow man says he has the scoop. I think it is the poop scoop.

    Too many lawsuits! Bring the evidence!

    Back to Looney Tunes! Next up- Me and Foolio down by the Hardware Yard!
