(2021)|Pandemia]] - [[Alex Berenson]] ^q1 "In August, 2020 the CDC reported that 24% of 18-24 year-olds had considered suicide in June a figure more than double that of the same survey in 2018." \- [[Pandemia -- Berenson, A. (2021)|Pandemia]] - [[Alex Berenson]] ^q2 ### Review / Notes #### Spike Proteins Researchers in early 2020 found that the RRAR spike caused the fern enzyme to cut the spike and allow it to open. This RRAR password allows the spike protein to bond to certain cells that have the A2 receptors in the body. They also found that the spike and password was perfectly positioned, unlike any other coronavirus that was from a similar family. A few speculated if SARS-COV-2 was produced in a lab but most scientists didn't speculate because it was irrelevant to them. #### Mandates & "Anti-Social" Behavior An report from the UK's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies [Note 6-38 "Options for Increasing Adherence to Social Distancing Measures"](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/882722/25-options-for-increasing-adherence-to-social-distancing-measures-22032020.pdf) was almost immediately followed by a campaign calling any "anti-social" "#COVIDIOTS". The most liked COVIDIOTS post from that very day: - [Stay The F*** Home](https://twitter.com/BenJones801/status/1241789377728086016) Continued through the election: - [Trump COVID Super-Spreader Event](https://twitter.com/RuralVoicesUSA/status/1316106609765093381) Through into the next spring break: - [COVIDIOTS Twitter Example](https://twitter.com/AmandiOnAir/status/1373639730206814216) And continues well through Q2 of 2022 for anyone who dares to have any anti-social conclusions to COVID policy. ### Bibliography ![[Pandemia Bibliography - Alex Berenson.pdf]]
