Title: DARPA to the rescue!
Post by: Ron on April 12, 2021, 10:07:38 AM: Quote
Pentagon scientists working inside a secretive unit set up at the height of the Cold War have created a microchip to be inserted under the skin, which will detect COVID-19 infection, and a revolutionary filter that can remove the virus from the blood when attached to a dialysis machine.

The team at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have been working for years on preventing and ending pandemics.

They assess the issues and come up with ingenious solutions, which at times appear more from a science fiction novel than a working laboratory.

One of their recent inventions, they told 60 Minutes on Sunday night, was a microchip which detects COVID infection in an individual before it can become an outbreak.

Who needs a vaccine? Just get "chipped" like a pet and it's all good :laugh:

Mostly plain for me, but I enjoy the BBQ chips on occasion. Can't stand sour cream & onion chips.

Ya think?

Look who's put in our faces all the time. Pete Buttigeg, with his sentimental attachment to airport bathrooms, as Sec. Transportation. The pervy old guy with the Goldilocks hair. And the "We Burn Babies" guy for ATF head. It just seems like s deliberate affront.

What do you suppose they would be doing differently if they were actually trying to start a civil war?

What if a war was declared and everyone decided not to show up?

Russians tried that in the 20's and the Jews tried it in the 30's. How did either of those end?
