    I’m sure all those US owned bioweapon labs got nothing to do with it.

    Real talk though I would t be surprised if they used Ukraine to introduce a biological weapon on Easter Europe and Asia. Funny thing is if they do, it’s gonna hit the US eventually and it’ll be way worse over here because of the utter lack of ability to quarantine. Fucking boomers over here are walking gas bags of disease. Spreading it wherever they please cause putting a mask over their fucking faces is an attack on their freedom to make the res of us have to breathe their bullshit.

        That also requires them to take the initiative to think that far ahead, also to actually care about their population. As it seems, the oligarchy doesn’t care to save American lives. The more of us die the more wealth they can collect for themselves.

        Also can base this on almost every other time the US intentionally created and spread diseases that still affects large portions of the population and never had a cure or vaccine made. Such as lime disease.

          Well, their entire house of cards based economy relies on surplus value extraction which can only be produced by workers so they can’t just let all their workers die, especially if workers in China survive.

            You are thinking about this like someone that is able to think long term, because you are a communist. They not only don’t think like this but I personally think they are preparing to bring this card house down and turn into an extreme late stage capitalism that’s closer to feudalism. Crash the market. Let a sizeable portion of the populace die, buy/steal what’s left of the country. Then live like kings and queens as their fascist boot lickers kill anyone that dissents.

            You have to think about it from their standpoint. The rich and powerful of this country don’t just abuse the labor force and feel nothing. They do feel. They feel hatred for us. They despise and loath us. Suffering is not just a side effect of their capitalism, it’s part of the point. It’s why, despite study after study that shows more work gets done, that people are more productive, with a shorter work week, they push for longer and longer work hours. They don’t just use us for our surplus labor value. They WANT us to be miserable. The enjoy it.

            They know the longer things go the more they risk us fighting back. That’s why they fortify and prepare for it. In fact it’s probably the only “long term” plan any of them have. What better way to eliminate the proletariat threat then to kill off a bunch with a disease they manufactured? A disease they will absolutely blame on Russia or China. Which their bootlicker population will happily lap up.

            You can’t think they are planning things out logically or without feeling. You have to imagine being the most evil POS. An evil POS that wants to rule with absolute power. That no longer wants to have to fly to private islands just to rape kids. That loves videos of people, children, being murdered in a genocide. That when they see a suffering workforce they feel happy, because they know they are doing good by their class.

        You might think so but there are a lot of ways for that to not work out as planned. (Like if the dept head thinks vaccines are the devil from bible e.g.)

        unless it mutates, but either way covid proved that vaccine or not amerikkkan healthcare infrastructure is simply incapable of dealing with any kind of crisis.

    Wow. If what this article says is true EVERYONE reading this needs to take precautions. Have proper N-95 masks, hand sanitizers, stockpiles of cheap shelf stable stuff like dry rice and beans, a UV light to disinfect anything you get delivered. This sounds exactly like what a biologically engineered superweapon would look like. The only saving grace is if they really are extra virulent maybe people will die from them so fast they dont spread it too much.

    I know there’s always talk of bioweapons, but warzones are also a melting pot for diseases, especially in a modern war where soldiers are more likely to survive wounds that would’ve once killed you outright - Those same wounds are the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of disease.

    Pair that with our lax intl’ response to antibiotic resistance (which is probably even less of a concern to doctors in warzones) you have a powder keg of pandemic proportions ready to blow.

      Yeah, I’m not exactly surprised superbugs would breed in conditions where soldiers are stuck sitting in trenches for years. It’s not exactly a sanitary environment. If we see these kinds of bugs breeding in hospitals that we actually try to keep clean, it’s almost certain they would easily breed in a war zone.
