#MeToo = between Devil and Deep Blue Sea, frying pan/fire, damned if do, damned if don't. Pot calling kettle black. I had wanted genetic engineering to start on a more positive note. A no-downside elimination of cystic fibrosis, haemochromatosis, sickle cell anaemia, and myriad other individual torments. I'm hoping the whole thing blows over before I need to be genetically engineered in yet another giant medical and governmental blundering stupidity. Unfortunately, like the other government blundering/malevolence/ignorance/roads to Hell, there's not a convenient escape clause. The argument in favour of vaccine is name-calling, which I find especially unpersuasive. My experience is that name-calling is indicative of lack of reason and facts So if I say "cytokine storm" and they say "You are an ignorant fear monger, swindler, stupider than a pig, uglier than Quasimodo, your feet stink, I have a degree from Harvard, hey look at that over there, you must follow The Science, The Science us Settled so just shut-up, we'll get you fired and put you in gaol etc etc...", I think they lack a case and they are yet again doing Evil/stupid/self-dealing/stealing/etc. The epidemiology of WuFlu is pathetic after 18 months of vast catastrophe. They have figured out a few obvious facts such as it's mostly old people who die. But there's no blood testing of deceased, seriously sick, mildly ill, infected but unaffected, to see who has what in common. Not that I've seen. Where is the multivariate analysis to see who gets sick and why? Is it a particular dietary deficiency or combination of deficiencies, such as zinc, vitamins A, C, D, etc? Does recent/current infection of common cold corona virus or flu give temporary immunity? In which case when recovery from flu/cold is underway, maybe a live WuFlu virus could be given as a rectal suppository or swallowed slow release capsule to gain immunity without infecting lungs. Lung infection is apparently the main cause of death. In God We Trust All others must have data. That was a sign I liked in various purchasing and engineer offices when I was selling fuels and lubricants decades ago. While the vaccines cause some problems and deaths, directly or within a month or 3, it's the longer term effects I'm more worried by = the cytokine storm from particular infection challenges. Or something else. Medical blundering is normal. Ignorance is rife. Lies common. Fauci is a crime scene = "we did the gain of function over there because we didn't want to risk it over here". He apparently didn't know that people travel from Wuhan to Washington on airliners that get there before a virus has caused its first sneeze or cough. Here Mq, hold your arm out. Trust us, we're experts you know. We know what we're doing. Don't ask questions. Mqurice

It turns out the original Covid strain was not near as infective as thought and only infected 17% of family members of active cases. That is one of the reasons my initial estimates were so off. I thought it was much more infective and would blow over like a wild fire. You could have had Covid. I also hated all that biology and chemistry. In medicine one needs to input mega data prior to allowing ones IQ loose to process it. Many in medicine are good at data input but do not have IQ to process leading to their going to work at CDC or WHO
