A few definition changes. The International Cabal of Relabelers and Repackagers are on a mission: To make you think you live in the "future" (actually, the present) by inventing fake words or repurposing old ones. Big fail.

Propagandist not Influencer

Lies not Disinformation (a nod to ignoring actual word origins)

Lies not Fake News

Translation as it relates to the following: "We will pay you money to spread false information - under the guise of fake individuality."

Three new conditions reported by a small number of people after vaccination with COVID-19 shots from Pfizer and Moderna are being studied to assess if they may be possible side-effects, Europe’s drugs regulator said on Wednesday.

Erythema multiforme, a form of allergic skin reaction; glomerulonephritis or kidney inflammation; and nephrotic syndrome, a renal disorder characterised by heavy urinary protein losses, are being studied here by the safety committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), according to the regulator here.

Pfizer, by far the biggest supplier of COVID-19 vaccines to the European Union, and Moderna did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Authorities in northern Germany have appealed to thousands of people to get another shot of Covid vaccine after a police investigation found that a Red Cross nurse may have injected them with a saline solution.

The nurse is suspected of injecting salt solution into people’s arms instead of genuine doses at a vaccination centre in Friesland – a rural district near the North Sea coast – in the early spring.

“I am totally shocked by this episode,” Sven Ambrosy, a local councillor, said on Facebook as local authorities issued the call on Tuesday to about 8,600 residents who may have been affected.

Linus Torvalds (Creator of Linux) Tells Anti-Vaxxer To Shut Up On Linux Mailing List

Please keep your insane and technically incorrect anti-vax comments to yourself.

You don't know what you are talking about, you don't know what mRNA
is, and you're spreading idiotic lies. Maybe you do so unwittingly,
because of bad education. Maybe you do so because you've talked to
"experts" or watched youtube videos by charlatans that don't know what
they are talking about.

But dammit, regardless of where you have gotten your mis-information
from, any Linux kernel discussion list isn't going to have your
idiotic drivel pass uncontested from me.

Vaccines have saved the lives of literally tens of millions of people.

Just for your edification in case you are actually willing to be
educated: mRNA doesn't change your genetic sequence in any way. It is
the exact same intermediate - and temporary - kind of material that
your cells generate internally all the time as part of your normal
cell processes, and all that the mRNA vaccines do is to add a dose
their own specialized sequence that then makes your normal cell
machinery generate that spike protein so that your body learns how to
recognize it.

The half-life of mRNA is a few hours. Any injected mRNA will be all
gone from your body in a day or two. It doesn't change anything
long-term, except for that natural "your body now knows how to
recognize and fight off a new foreign protein" (which then tends to
fade over time too, but lasts a lot longer than a few days). And yes,
while your body learns to fight off that foreign material, you may
feel like shit for a while. That's normal, and it's your natural
response to your cells spending resources on learning how to deal with
the new threat.

And of the vaccines, the mRNA ones are the most modern, and the most
targeted - exactly because they do *not* need to have any of the other
genetic material that you traditionally have in a vaccine (ie no need
for basically the whole - if weakened - bacterial or virus genetic
material). So the mRNA vaccines actually have *less* of that foreign
material in them than traditional vaccines do. And a *lot* less than
the very real and actual COVID-19 virus that is spreading in your
neighborhood.

Honestly, anybody who has told you differently, and who has told you
that it changes your genetic material, is simply uneducated. You need
to stop believing the anti-vax lies, and you need to start protecting
your family and the people around you. Get vaccinated.

I think you are in Germany, and COVID-19 numbers are going down. It's
spreading a lot less these days, largely because people around you
have started getting the vaccine - about half having gotten their
first dose around you, and about a quarter being fully vaccinated. If
you and your family are more protected these days, it's because of all
those other people who made the right choice, but it's worth noting
that as you see the disease numbers go down in your neighborhood,
those diminishing numbers are going to predominantly be about people
like you and your family.

So don't feel all warm and fuzzy about the fact that covid cases have
dropped a lot around you. Yes, all those vaccinated people around you
will protect you too, but if there is another wave, possibly due to a
more transmissible version - you and your family will be at _much_
higher risk than those vaccinated people because of your ignorance and
mis-information.

Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies.

And if you insist on believing in the crazy conspiracy theories, at
least SHUT THE HELL UP about it on Linux kernel discussion lists.

COVID-19: Vaccines prevent 84,600 deaths in England - as cases up in almost all regions and age groups

An expert warns that the rate of decline in new daily COVID cases across the UK could be slowing down, as data reveals increases in most regions and those in their 20s and above.

The first person to be infected by Covid-19 could have been a Wuhan laboratory employee who came into contact with a bat, a World Health Organisation chief has claimed.

Dr Peter Embarek led the WHO’s four-week investigation on the origins of coronavirus and originally claimed the theory the virus was from a lab in the city was “extremely unlikely”.

However Dr Embarek, an epidemiologist and food safety expert, has now said that a lab worker in Wuhan could have been infected by a bat.

He told Denmark Tv station TV2: “An employee who was infected in the field by taking samples falls under one of the probable hypotheses.

“This is where the virus jumps directly from a bat to a human. In that case, it would then be a laboratory worker instead of a random villager or other person who has regular contact with bats.

“So it is actually in the probable category”.

However, he added that the WHO team found no evidence that the Covid outbreak was linked to research that was being conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Covid Patient Zero may have been a Wuhan lab worker, WHO chief says

A last ditch attempt at face saving by an increasingly discredited World Health Organisation?

Though there are some interesting contradictory (to the Independent's take) statements in this Daily Telegraph article on the news:
Scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were known to be working on bat coronavirus at labs in the city, but China has been uncooperative in providing details of their research.
Dr Embarek said WHO investigators were forced to conclude that a lab leak was “extremely unlikely” in their official report to avoid further arguments with the Chinese.
He said the team had come to an “impasse” with China, which would only allow a lab leak scenario to be included in the report if there were no recommendations to look further.
“My counterpart agreed we could mention (the lab leak scenario) in the report under the condition that we wouldn’t recommend specific studies of that hypothesis. We would just leave it there.”
Asked whether the Chinese would have agreed to the report without the scenario being labelled “extremely unlikely”, Dr Embarek said: “That would have probably demanded further discussion and arguments for and against I didn’t think it was worth it.”

It would certainly seem that they have shot themselves in both feet, at best.

What bemused this week was the coverage of the death of some poor man from Marburg virus which suddenly led to the media behaving as if it was a sudden threat to the US & U.K. Rather than actually being concerned for Guinea and neighbouring countries where it is considered a high threat by the WHO.
 
It's the weekend. Time to sell more fear.

Just as it happened in New York, the Army Corps of Engineers was sent in. Field hospitals were set up. The Media will have you believe in "there's no way to solve the problem" scenarios.

A Sunday Times investigation raises serious concerns that the independence and leadership of the WHO were severely compromised by the time the first cases of a mysterious new coronavirus appeared in Wuhan in 2019 — with profound consequences for the course of the Covid-19 pandemic and the world.

Imagine being so angry at losing face that you cheat and get found out on the international stage anyway, not only causing you to lose face but also honor and standing in the world. Greater rulers have lost the Mandate of Heaven for lesser mistakes.

We are all living in interesting times.
 
 
There is little point in mentioning those who were misinformed without identifying the guilty parties. An individual decided to not get a vaccine due to false and misleading information. They made the wrong choice after believing false information. Until there are consequences for spreading false information, this will continue.
