The problem I see with that study is it's asking the online white supremacists what their motivations are, which assumes a) they are fully cognisant of them and b) they're honest about them

The PLA rations were all foul-tasting and/or rancid but it was a Ukrainian ration that put Steve in hospital with botulism. That was a recent-manufacture bad batch still within its expiry date.

Humphreys posted:drat that is a cool piece of military history I knew nothing about! I would love to find 3D files to print my own scene for an upcoming modelers show. Going by the pics here and the video above, Wolfgang had at least two vans: some kind of Mercedes T2 and a Mercedes TN (seen in two of the pics and the video). Hopefully you can use that info to find 3d models to base a bratty wagon on

The forced bleach drinking is the result of local leaders who don't understand what's happening and are unwilling/unable to admit uncertainty. Decisive action must be taken, but it won't be helpful (or even harmless).

I don't think western society would survive an actual health threat. People are just too stupid and quick to panic. 40 years of telling people there's no society, to look only to their own needs, and that believing in anything bigger than yourself is the mark of a naive (and probably dangerous!) idealist.

Grand Fromage posted:There is a malaria treatment in the TCM pharmacopia, artemisinin, but it's been studied with actual science so it's just regular old medicine now. That's what got the Nobel. It is true that the exact mechanism of action isn't understood. There are a lot of drugs that we know work but can't identify how though, like anesthetics. Is that the one which is destroyed by boiling and in TCM is prepared by boiling?

Yes, it was artemisinin: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4966551/ quote:One day, Professor Tu was reading some recipes written by Ge Hong ~1700 years ago. In one of his recipes, Ge Hong described how to obtain ‘juice’ from Qinghao (A. annua) plant to treat fever using cold water, instead of the traditional methods of boiling herbs for preparing Chinese medicines. Professor Tu suddenly realized that high temperature could be the cause of instability in antimalarial activity they experienced. The second hint Professor Tu had from Ge Hong’s description was that the plant leaf was likely the part having the most activity because the ‘juice’ could be obtained from the leaves much easier than other parts of the plant. She decided to use ether, replacing ethanol, to extract the active ingredients from the plant leaves and obtained sample #191 that could inhibit rodent and monkey malaria with 100% activity on October 4, 1971. So it used to be effective, then someone hosed it up by adding boiling to the instructions, presumably because that makes it better for healthy

Rime posted:Both of these are official sources from the CCP. Whether or not they deliberately suppressed and continue to suppress the true number of victims in China is, IMO, less relevant than direct evidence that they set out to create an artificial shortage of medical supplies worldwide beginning in January.
