    If it becomes more than a potential are you going to get a vaccine shot if they come up with one for this particular virus?

    That's a great question, and the answer isn't obvious. I will certainly not without a lot of specific information regarding the content of the shot. I may not if I am not confident that others have been substantively benefited by it. There are other options I keep open as well, such as dying gracefully, or returning to being a hermit innawoods, where transmission would be very difficult.

    Dunno yet. I'll think on it. I hope you do not think that my skepticism regarding institutional medicine is simply denialism of any possible benefit that might stem from that vector. That is not, and never has been, my position. I don't blindly trust, and viscerally distrust black boxes, particularly when folks I find untrustworthy try to force me to trust in them.

    I want to understand the evidence, and the vaccine industry does a damn poor job of providing relevant evidence forthrightly, all too often inflicting ad hominem, pejorative rhetoric accusing skeptics of denialism.

    That is evidence itself, and just as it does the AGW alarmism propaganda, strongly indicts the mandatory vaccine propaganda.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, that's about my line of thinking. If they don't get this thing sequenced out they may not come up with a vaccine in time to save hundreds to thousands of people. It starts spreading here and I'll be stocking up real quick like to hide out inside my house. On Friday it was four hundred people stricken in China, this morning I posted an update it's almost to three thousand and 24 more people have died over the weekend with Chinese authorities stating their dismay at this virus's ability to spread so rapidly. I am just glad you will be weighing your options or heading for the woods if it was to come to that.

    Imma die sooner than later. I might as well die suffering in beautiful surroundings.

      there are too many unknowns, combined with the known deceit and IW capability of the CCP, for a rational discussion of the issue.

      my family remains bound and determined to continue with a normal social life right now, and I can't convince them that a couple of weeks of internet interaction may be less harmful than a household of relatives coughing out their lifeblood.

      There is a strong bias towards normalcy, and it is a human trait. I can't speak for or to your family, but I trust you to do your best by them.

      The data you provided is that most relevant that I can find presently, and that is what I want, far more than useless assurances or prophecies of doom.

      Thanks!

      we can probably set the number two cause of human misery (after h. machievellius, of course) as normalcy bias...
