It sounds like the promo for a B sci-fi movie from the 1960s.

Here's what inspired the tabloid story:
"In 2014, Claverie led a team of scientists who isolated live viruses in Siberia and showed they could still infect single-cell organisms – even though they had been buried in permafrost for thousands of years. One virus sample was 48,500 years old. “The viruses we isolated were only able to infect amoebae and posed no risk to humans,” said Claverie. “However, that does not mean that other viruses – currently frozen in the permafrost – might not be able to trigger illnesses in humans."

I guess they’re worried about amoeba pandemics now. Breaking news from 2014 ... or more like 46,000 BC.

Is anyone beginning to suspect that the pandemic narrative is just sensational fear porn to sell movie tickets or, in this case, an agenda?

In related news, the CDC just updated its 2024 recommended vaccine schedule, which has now engorged itself to 15 oversized pages printed in 8-point type. It now requires 90 shots of 17 different vaccines for kids, 4 doses of 4 different vaccines specifically for pregnant women, and 130 doses of 4 different vaccines for all adults.

Ah yes, the fear porn creates willing, eager customers.

How did the human race manage to survive before a magnificent "life saving" vaccine schedule could make the CDC (and WHO) even more powerful and profitable?

Some vaccines have no doubt prevented death and suffering. But vaccines have also resulted in some dreadful adverse reactions. Although, if those are acknowledged at all, they are downplayed.

And has the CDC's pharmacological science made humans more robust or improved their general physical and mental health over the past decades?

The medical, pharmaceutical, insurance and other industries benefit, though. So do authoritarian leaders/governments who want to control formerly free people.

So trust "the" science and the headlines. Be afraid. But they're here to protect you.
