Apparently... back in February, the CDC was sending out covid-19 test kits that we're infected with covid-19. It wasn't intentional, just sloppy lab work.

There are so many articles about this, that it's best just to Google and choose your own.

/e The search phrase I used was: CDC sends out infected test kits?

So do you actually think this mythical world you advocate for is better than our current society?

Indeed, because almost no one feels a vested interest in government. Virtually everyone feels a vested interest in society.

CDC’s failed coronavirus tests were tainted with coronavirus, feds confirm

As the new coronavirus took root across America, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent states tainted test kits in early February that were themselves seeded with the virus, federal officials have confirmed.

The contamination made the tests uninterpretable, and—because testing is crucial for containment efforts—it lost the country invaluable time to get ahead of the advancing pandemic.

The CDC had been vague about what went wrong with the tests, initially only saying that “a problem in the manufacturing of one of the reagents” had led to the failure. Subsequent reporting suggested that the problem was with a negative control—that is, a part of the test meant to be free of any trace of the coronavirus as a critical reference for confirming that the test was working properly overall.

Now, according to investigation results reported by The New York Times, federal officials confirm that sloppy laboratory practices at two of three CDC labs involved in the tests’ creation led to contamination of the tests and their uninterpretable results.

I dunno... there a LOT of articles about it. There's also a lot of OLD articles from Feb and early March, wondering why the CDC test kits weren't giving accurate results.

Ever wonder why every society develops a government?

Please define "right" in the context of "natural rights".

I wouldn't really care if he has more weapons. A little patience and a well placed shot from 300 yards will do the trick.

If you listened to him yesterday, he used the phrase, then went on to describe extensive testing and contact tracing. In full context, his comments never left the impression he really thought it's possible the virus won't be here this fall/winter, but that it will be well-managed.

HRC is masterful at making the evidence go away.

ah exactly my point.. she has been investigated multiple times with no charges. But your implication and honest stance is you think she's guilty?
ghot wants all of us to not have any of that sentiment with and about trump & RU because he wasn't proven guilty. But, he doesn't even live in that world when its about anyone on his side of the political spectrum, and as you see he doesn't even answer the question.

Tell me you don't actually believe that.

Say for example you killed my daughter. I would then return the favor.

And Locke's take is different from Spooner's. Government is not necessarily the only vehicle for justice.

https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/spooner-natural-law-or-the-science-of-justice-1882

This is why the Greeks created positive law to end the blood feuding between families they had gone on for so long.

The 1st Greek laws were called the Draconian code, named after Dracos, their creator.

Spooner's take still represents a social contract. Social contract doesn't equal government. Only recently in terms of history have they been written out as Constitutions.

It's amazing what people will ride on a picture. How gullible are you?

Also still waiting to learn about a real natural right that I have in a state of nature aside from the right to kill smaller dogs and fuck everything I can.
