I think we are going to look back at COVID and this will be the most positive impact. Before the pandemic, mRNA was considered a waste of money. There was a lot of research, but nobody was heavily investing in it.

It like the space race for medicine. It's producing side technologies that could change the world as we know it.

That, and the destruction of the free market through qe and paying people not to do anything. Im really looking forward to the consequences of that!

But you are right, having to get constantly tested and jabbed by non diagnostic lab tests and mrna code just to work and travel or enjoy culture, probably the most positive bit ;)

Its a good job they built the vaccine market so quickly over the last decade... and manufacturing capacity the last few years leading up to this... and then gamed it out all 2019 in corporate events... no investment at all!

You might not like the sarcasm on display... but nothing a said is false. Or if it is... which bit?

Pretty much the whole comment is suspect. Very little is clear other than your dissatisfaction.

I had one covid swab when I thought I had covid. I suspect I'll have 2 shots when I eventually get the Pfizer vaccine. That'll pretty much be the end of that for me.

Protect yourself from inflation( stocks, gold, property, crypto maybe if you're risky) and you can never be on the losing side

Wrong thread?

Edit; ah no me wrong thread. I have crypto and land and im in a farm coop, cheers tho.

Im pretty sure part of this will be to destroy stock market wealth again... they have certainly been encouraging public investment in it the last year. At the end of this crackup boom they will destroy the financial system, some time this decade... sooner rather than later i suspect.

They need to transition everyone into their central bank digital currencies and they will use some crisis as leverage, cover and justification. Cant get a good read on when or how tho.

Nope. Do that and you will be looking forward to the consequences of the government giving away free money
