A rare feat: Material protects against both biological and chemical threats:

A Northwestern University research team has developed a versatile composite fabric that can deactivate both biological threats, such as the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and chemical threats, such as those used in chemical warfare. A material that is effective against both classes of threats is rare.

The material also is reusable. It can be restored to its original state after the fabric has been exposed to threats by a simple bleach treatment.The promising fabric could be used in face masks and other protective clothing.

"Having a bifunctional material that has the ability to deactivate both chemical and biological toxic agents is crucial since the complexity to integrate multiple materials to do the job is high," said Northwestern's Omar Farha, an expert in metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs[*], which is the basis for the technology.

[...] The MOF/fiber composite builds on an earlier study in which Farha's team created a nanomaterial that deactivates toxic nerve agents. With some small manipulations, the researchers were able to also incorporate antiviral and antibacterial agents into the material.

MOFs are "sophisticated bath sponges," Farha said. The nano-sized materials are designed with a lot of holes that can capture gases, vapors and other agents the way a sponge captures water. In the new composite fabric, the cavities of the MOFs have catalysts that can deactivate toxic chemicals, viruses and bacteria. The porous nanomaterial can be easily coated on textile fibers.

    1.) What's the survival rate for COVID (minus co-morbidity factors/other medical issues present already in a person)?

    ANSWER = roughly 99++% across ALL age groups (or close to it)

    2.) WHY TAKE AN UNPROVEN SHOT that generates ALL THESE BAD CONDITIONS:

    pericarditis
    myocarditis
    brain aneurisms
    NERVOUS "twitch" disorders (sp? gillian barre etc.)
    PARALYSIS
    lung CLOTS
    cancer
    sterility
    COVID RASH (huge blisters & "burnt" red skin that falls off etc.)

    BASED ON FALSE POSITIVE RESULT GENERATING PCR TESTS per all the evidences I noted here on that note vs. your bs WHICH HELPED ME PROVE IT no less, lol https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=45332&page=1&cid=1185265#commentwrap [soylentnews.org]

    (To which the CDC got rid of OLD TESTS (that did false positives due to cycling turned up too high to panic sheeple into taking a CLOT SHOT) & NOW "new tests" are out? No thanks!)

    They don't KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING (or do & want to kill you)!

    PCR test cycles TURNED UP TOO HIGH in cycling per Kary Mullis the NOBEL LAUREATE who was awarded the NOBEL PRIZE for that test (nobody knows it better than he - HE INVENTED IT) DID OCCUR & the fact "new tests" ARE out PROVES IT - but those that took the shot based on FALSE POSITIVE RESULTS I list above ARE IN DEEP SHIT (dead).

    WHAT DOCUMENTARY really, Really, REALLY illustrates this? COVIDLAND https://www.brighteon.com/97ba444b-d3fd-4774-8bed-e9ceb3844fec [brighteon.com]

    (Specifically w/ FAUCI saying "anything over 33 cycles is not worth doing it higher" - period!)

    * AND, moreso when a PFizer scientist ADMITS natural immunity is better than taking the CLOTSHOTS (NDA he signed got him scared for it too, admitting it)

    Hmmm?

    In fact, what I just put up is only a FRACTION of what I could have in regards to PCR tests being invalid from TONS of reputable sources galore!

    Then, the WHO changes the DEFINITION of "pandemic" from NUMBER OF DEATHS vs. NUMBER OF CASES (which "The Wayback Machine" still has evidence of) to make a herd stampede in panic (herd of stupid sheeple) due to false positives from a BOGUS "test" per above, that ROPED DOPES IN as said "panicked sheeple herd" to take a shot that f's you up!

    3.) E.G. All you have to REALLY "endure" is a flu like condition pretty much - e.g. My Mom's 84++ & SURVIVED IT!

    * YOUR "CURE" IS WORSE THAN THE DISEASE!

    APK

    P.S.=> Why fix something that's NOT BROKEN (your innate native immune system) - especially vs. something that DOES NOT KILL YOU in 99++% of cases minus ANY OTHER "co-morbidities"? Additionally given that - WHY THE "BIG PUSH" to PUSH (like drug dealers do & in this case, "LEGAL" drug dealers) to put a vax in you that does NOT WORK as advertised in the 1st place?? apk
