Chinese vaccine comparisons
From comments - "Benjamin Lasseter - We did do this in the West.
There were at least two well-reputed but small pharmaceutical companies in the USA which produced a similar dead-virus vaccine, which they were able to generate in large quantities and at low cost.
They offered the vaccine for consideration quite early in the pandemic timeline.
For some peculiar reason, they were never given expedited approval even to this date.
It's quite odd."

They Want You To Be Poor (Here's Why)
"From comments: Aggie Rowe - This was my fave podcast George.
Makes 100% sense and boy was my education rigged from the get go.
Case in point: a fellow cohort of mine with a masters degree just got a tenure track position teaching environmental writing at a university.
This person has never worked outside of a classroom a day in their lives.
Never worked a field, never farmed, never had a garden, in fact, this person is unhealthy looking.
Yet this is a person responsible for molding minds.
This person will be embracing the global reset pro-agenda and spewing it out, hook, line and sinker.

NPR Interview with Newt Goes Down Hilarious Path of Liberal Disbelief on 2020 Rigging | Newsbusters
"...This is where the interview about Biden quickly went awry, as liberals are as obsessed with anyone claiming 2020 wasn't ideal.
KELLY: But that has been what he has wanted to talk about - I mean, his repeated false claims about a stolen election, which I have to note you supported and talked about and spread. That did seem to fall flat with midterm voters. Is - how big a problem is that for Republicans?
GINGRICH: Look. I'll be cheerful about coming back some time, and we can devote an entire interview to whether it was a rigged election - not necessarily stolen but certainly rigged. And we can start with all the Twitter information, and we can start with Zuckerberg's $415 million.
KELLY: I just need to pause you there because it's not me saying this. This is dozens of courts across the U.S. that have rejected claims of rigged elections.
GINGRICH: No, no. They rejected claims of stolen elections. Nobody ever looked at rigging.
KELLY: For the record, do you believe Joe Biden was legitimately elected president?
GINGRICH: For the record, I believe that he won under the terms that were set up, and I think that the entire elite system cheated in every way they could to defeat Donald Trump.

3 Unsexy Reasons Warnock Beat Walker In The Georgia Runoff 
"...Despite what corporate media pundits tell you, Georgia is not a swing state.
Republicans overwhelmingly swept all other down-ballot races this past election cycle.
Nationally, Democrats were focused on control of the Senate, and accordingly focused their strategy and efforts on keeping their Georgia Senate seat.
- They did this by pulling out their most effective ground game tactics such as harvesting (and curing) ballots, spending millions of dollars in various get-out-the-vote efforts, and going to court to expand and cement their radical post-2020 election law changes.
And it paid off.
If Republicans can’t stop their tactics, then the GOP would do well to mirror them..."
