Are you saying it's "colored," you raaaaaacist?

Oh, that could be material for a separate episode. You see (pun intended), things that are smaller than the wavelength of visible light cannot really possess color, any color whatsoever; but the media insist on painting them as if they did.

Of course everything is false-colorized. They do this with people they want to demonize. I remember the faux outrage over some magazine putting OJ Simpson on the cover, but not before putting him through a high-contrast filter, thus making him appear more menacing.

There are probably also millions of vaccines from the former one, that now can be used! No one will notice the difference. New sticker and ready.

The oldest schtick on earth, fear is the great motivator to enhance pharmaceutical profits.

The Covid magic bats managed to travel several hundred kilometers from their cave to Wuhan without infecting anyone in between. I wonder if these latest bats have the same magical powers?

It seems the grand theory of Nipah is still somewhat raw and doesn't quite explain empirical observations (e.g. how does one get "outbreaks" if animal-human transmission is the primary route but human-human transmission is supposedly very low); perhaps some magical powers are yet to be discovered.

Spray that little bitch with Clorox bleach and be done with it!
