Bioweapon

    
Throughout history, COVID-19 caused by SARS-COV-2 is the most famous disease, not because it is the worst nor its epidemic status, but it appears when the internet is a thing. The spreading of news is so overwhelmed, that conspirators use this chance to prove their theory. There is much news relating to viruses and bioweapons. Before I go further, I want to say that I believe in bioweapon but I can't accept speculations. Some people perceive information and believe what they want to believe (there was an entry that I posted about why people believe conspiracy theory). When talking about bioweapon, this is not new. Conspiracy theory rekindles when there is an opportunity, just like what is happening at the moment.

SARS-COV-2 is not a bioweapon because there is no reason to use bioweapon when there is no war on a global scale. Even if it is, what is the reason that people around the world get infected? In fact, bioweapon generally, using an established organism and culture it on a large scale. This mass production is later used to infect specific places, but not spreading it around the globe. Even if they want to kill the global population, they will achieve nothing. Let's do some math to prove. Let take the Spanish flu, the worst epidemic that infects 500 million people, that took the lives of 50 million people. The global population in the 1900s is around 2 billion. The death percentage is around 2.5%. Killing 2.5% population is not a success. Thanos, however, did 20 times better, he killed 50% of the universe's population. Therefore, using bioweapon and make it pandemic is not an acceptable reason. Since SARS-COV-2 is a novel species of virus and as a biologist, I really know that creating cells from nucleic acid and make them functional is not easy. Ever since a successful human genome project in early 2000, J. Craig Venter and his team have made a synthetic genome and plant it inside empty bacterial cells. They are not even building their own cells, or RNA, which viral genetic materials have yet to be manipulated. Yes, potential 'reconstruction' of genetic materials of virus can be developed but it requires a lot of effort, time, money, and to make the viral genetic functional is a challenge and nobody in the world has achieved it to my knowledge. It "may" be convincing too for those who believe in conspiracy. If so, then expose those who synthesized the genetic materials for SARS-COV-2 and why it is created as a bioweapon? I tell you this is impossible. 

After all, saying this SARS-COV-2 is a bioweapon is not helping society. It is not even benefiting people who believe it and it is pointless at every level. This entry is very general, I don't mind if people still believe this whole thing is a bioweapon and conspiracy. I know these guys wanted to gain this "I know better than you" kind of thing, but maybe if you channel it to something useful, it can benefit you and society.

Frontliners are struggling to help us, so please don't make it worst by spreading nonsense theory.

Kenapa percaya teori konspirasi?

Hairan dengan dunia. Semakin ramai yang mempercayai benda yang mengarut sehingga jadikan ia satu prinsip dalam hidup yang akhirnya tidak membawa ke mana mana. Seperti vaksin dan homebirth yang sekarang kecoh. Sebenarnya bukannya terlalu susah untuk kita tahu sesuatu itu benar ataupun palsu. Tetapi tidak terlalu mudah jugak. Jadi aku cuba cari kenapa manusia ni terlalu mudah mempercayai bulat bulat tentang teori konspirasi. Sebelum tu aku nak bagitahu, bila hands on (macam exam pulak) memang susah nak bezakan samada konspirasi itu benar atau salah. Jadi biasanya bila perkara ni terjadi kepada aku, otak aku secara automatiknya akan jeniskan samada perkara itu soal akidah, hukum agama, atau sekadar berita berita. Dari situ mudah lah sikit tugas aku, samada aku nak teruskan merujuk atau aku hentikan je maklumat tu, " period ". Kemudian, watlek watchil, dan teruskan hidup macam biasa. Teori konspirasi ni macam satu penjelasan tentang perkara yang tak boleh explain dengan bukti ...

Keparahan manusia yang sering menolak fakta menyebabkan aku terpanggil untuk menambah satu entri kepada entri yang sebelumnya yang bertajuk " Kenapa percaya teori konspirasi? ". Kali ni aku nak sentuh sedikit tentang apa yang menyebabkan manusia masih degil untuk menerima fakta yang sudah terang lagi bersuluh tentang kebenarannya. Malah, mereka membenarkan penipuan. Aneh, bukan? Semasa aku menulis entri ni, aku rasa seram sebab perkara ini berkaitan dengan penggunaan bahagian otak manusia untuk membezakan kebenaran sesuatu perkara berdasarkan fakta atau auta. Berbeza dengan teori. Teori ialah sesuatu maklumat yang belum mampu dibuktikan oleh fakta, tetapi belum jugak dapat disangkal dengan fakta. Manakala fakta itu sendiri merupakan sesuatu yang telah dibuktikan, sama ada nilai significant fakta tersebut rendah atau tinggi, ia masih telah dibuktikan. Jadi berbalik kepada fungsi otak tadi, keupayaan untuk membezakan kebenaran berdasarkan fakta atau auta terletak pada...

tak boleh

mana boleh turn back time. but in your head, what else could you do exactly. setiap malam sebelum aku tidur, aku akan cakap sikit "esok aku nak bangun pagi dengan semangat yang baru." but what strength do I have?  I feel like they don't love me anymore. if I am to be positive all the way, aku boleh cakap maybe sejak dah ada commitment lain, perhaps they are too tired to care about me.  sejak dari dulu, aku masuk boarding school di ceruk Negeri Sembilan, Daerah Jempol. you could reach there by bus, or train. and nak ke sekolah aku took another 30 minutes from stesen bas. boleh kira guna jari berapa kali they come and visit me. aku tak kisah pun sebab aku pun malas sebenarnya nak suruh diorang datang redah jalan yang entah pape tu semata mata nak tengok aku. but deep inside, aku nak diorang datang. sekarang, it has been 3 years aku kat Terengganu and they never visit me. as usual, when they asked me "nak datang tak?" aku jawab "takpe ah.", da...

you will learn things in life. feeling is the first thing you will learn, and forever learnt. it is not easy to say something you have gone through, the pain, the happiness and for sure the appreciation. for me, pain and happiness are the basic things that will everyday happen to us. but how much you appreciate the feeling does matter. I tried to neglect all the pain I get, and tried to cover it up with happiness. well, I could say if no one makes you happy why not you make yourself happy? I have tried this one thing that has blown up my mind in total. smiling. I was not a smiling person in real and in any of the social media as well. it is not easy to smile when you are tired, fucked up or even when you are mad but I kept practicing myself to smile, even I don't have a really nice smile but that is. through time, I found it interesting, beautiful. you can make a stranger smile back at you with your little stare and smile and sometimes smiling can be a starter for any strangers...
