Heard on a marketplace in China:
"I'll have two of these bats on a stick, and don't skimp
on the sauce!"
"But they're still uncooked inside!"
"That won't be the end of the world!"

HaHa! Very good. However, what actually happened was two Chinamen were sitting in a bar when they were approached by Anthony Fauci who warned
them a great plague would soon be upon the world, but he could protect
them with this vaccine he'd developed over the road in the Wuhan Lab.
And those guys were the world's first (index) cases of Covid.
Still, I'm sure Fauci meant well. ;->

It hit Chinese people, and wrecked the Chinese economy, so it wasn't
any useful sort of weapon. It was a lab mistake.
It's not the first nasty virus brewed in a lab that had bad protocols.

several vaccines developed.

2024 election summary: Half the people who voted for Trump voted for him because they thought he won't do things he said he will, and half the
people who voted for Harris voted for her because they thought she would
do things she said she wouldn't.
That is to say a lot of citizens voted based on emotion, and the only
crazier people to show up to vote than the people voting on emotion was anyone trying to vote on logic.

Right-wing conspiracy theories are a lot to unpack. There's perhaps
sensible 20-20 hindsight conversations to have about some of these
topics in isolation, but I don't know where to begin with the aggregate.
And that they don't make a lot of sense when taken in aggregate doesn't
seem to much phase the MAGA-religious, who only seem to believe them in >aggregate. They are matters of faith & devotion.

I've read a substantial portion of the Slack messages and emails
referenced in this article:
<https://archive.is/no4P6>
talk about yawn-town.
Seems like Congress discovered academics employed by the CDC under the
first Trump administration can believe stupid things as well as anyone.
They must be sorta smart though they seemed able to confine being dumb
to their Slack messages and not tell everyone who they thought would
listen (whether the victim felt like listening, or not.)
That's a very difficult skill for many people to master it would
probably take like 15 years of academic study for the average American
to develop it.
"The Republican subcommittee deemed it a co-ordinated 'attempt to kill
the lab leak theory'.
Hey wait a minute I thought there was going to be evidence of a Chinese
lab leak here but I guess the best they could produce was evidence of "a >conspiracy to kill the lab leak theory" which isn't quite the same thing.
Producing actual evidence of the former might require learning Mandarin
for a start and there's almost nobody in all of Congress, much less the
R side of the aisle, equipped for that task.

'Let it rip' was the correct approach. The UK for one is still paying
the price for their government's paternalistic approach to the
outbreak. Paying people to do nothing for months on end! Great idea
that was.

It's a deeply paranoid and authoritarian regime (like some others one

any given Tuesday in the power structure of the PRC.
Like an American's insurance company delay and deny is what they do,
it'd probably be more suspicious if they extended a warm invitation. "Oh

I develop my own Spice models for MMICs and phemts and distributed
amplifiers and other RF parts. That usually involves measurements,
because most RF parts don't even specify DC things. Some data sheets
say "adjust the bias until it works" or "ac couple the input and
output."
I drive electro-optical modulators with narrow pulses. The RF part
data sheets assume a continous, symmetrical sine wave. I can get twice
the swing for pulses if I bias a distributed amp way off-center.
RF parts seem to specify their abs max voltage assuming that a sine
wave might swing from ground to 2xVcc, but the data sheet specifies
abs max Vcc. So one has to cheat.
Testing a $300 distributed amplifier chip for its genuine abs max
output voltage limit is emotionally tricky.

I develop my own Spice models for MMICs and phemts and distributed >>>amplifiers and other RF parts. That usually involves measurements, >>>because most RF parts don't even specify DC things. Some data sheets
say "adjust the bias until it works" or "ac couple the input and
output."
Yes, they're generally poor on detail for sure.
I drive electro-optical modulators with narrow pulses. The RF part
data sheets assume a continous, symmetrical sine wave. I can get twice >>>the swing for pulses if I bias a distributed amp way off-center.
You should get yourself a curve-tracer - or design one (and share that
with me so I can build one).:)
I can usually take a few points on a breadboard or an eval board.
Many RF parts self-bias, or are more complex than a classic 3-terminal
part.
Even worse, some have internal closed-loop bias things of undefined >bandwidth. I hate that.
The RF boys always chop off their graphs to hide the bad bits. And a
lot of parts are sold to work in some specific band, with tuned wire
bonds or whatever, so wideband use is guesswork.
RF parts seem to specify their abs max voltage assuming that a sine
wave might swing from ground to 2xVcc, but the data sheet specifies
abs max Vcc. So one has to cheat.
Testing a $300 distributed amplifier chip for its genuine abs max
output voltage limit is emotionally tricky.
I would imagine so, yes. However, at least today you can launch a >>crowd-funding appeal to share the burden. ;-)
I used the HMC659 in the recent NIF modulator project. They are over
$300 each. If you pull the output up with a current source and poke
negative pulses into the input, it breaks down at about 16 volts. That
was an interesting experiment.
Breaking things is fun. Well, cheap things.

Sorry, not buying it. I don't know if you actually believe the
nonsense you wrote or not, but it's what we've come to expect from you
and Bill Sloman. Do you get a stipend from the CCP for your services?
I certainly don't. You seem to share Jim Thompson's delusion that
anybody who isn't rabidly pro-American is anti-American, and have added
in the idea that anybody who isn't rabidly anti-Chinese is pro-Chinese.
Most people are a little more complicated than that, and most people are smart enough to cope with actual human behavior.
The proposition that Covid-19 is a Chinese biological weapon is grossly implausible and you do like your nonsense to be flagrantly implausible.
I'm not sure whether Trump suffers from the same disease, or just makes fatuous claims as an attention-getting device. It takes a fairly high
level of ignorance to carry it off, and you and Donald Trump have got
that in spades.
