“a round shot took off his head & spattered the whole battalion with his brain, the colours & ensigns in charge coming in for an extra share. A 2nd shot carried off 6 of the men’s bayonets, a 3rd broke the breastbone of a Lance-Sergeant”
Dead horses had metal shoes ripped off for re-selling before being arranged in vast pyres & set alight. The scene was made even more hellish by the stacks of unburied human bodies that lay around for days afterwards, literally going black in the scorching heat of the June sun
The only thing to do was burn the men just as they did the horses - according to one source
"they have been obliged to burn upwards of a thousand carcasses, an awful holocaust to the War-Demon".
Local scavengers knew used pliers to yank thousands of teeth from the dead bodies of British, French & Prussian soldiers, carefully sorting them according to shape and size to create full sets of teeth.
The flood of dentures that resulted became known as "Waterloo teeth".
‘Oh Sir, only let there be a battle, and there’ll be no want of teeth. I’ll draw them as fast as the men are knocked down.’
Human remains could still be seen at Waterloo a year later. A company was contracted to collect the visible bones & grind them up for fertilizer. Other Napoleonic battlefields were also reportedly scoured for this purpose. In 1822 a British paper reported:
the Last Boot
"A man of the transport corps, thinking me dead, had stripped me and wishing to pull off the only boot that remained, was dragging me by one leg with his foot against my body. I succeeded in sitting up and spitting out the clots of blood from my throat"
Letter from Waterloo
On 21 June 1815, three days after the Battle of Waterloo, Private James Wilson of the 1st Life Guards wrote a letter to his friend, Corporal Hemsleyin, which he described his part in the battle.

"During shooting in Thailand, I was shocked by Daszak’s fast & loose with facts, his refusal to acknowledge his conflict of interest,& his denial of his gain-of-function res in collaboration with Wuhan lab"
You guessed right, i hope?

She continued:
"I was equally shocked by Daszak’s constant self-promotion and how effective it was."
@janeqiuchina About the film:
"Blame: Bats, Politics & a Planet Out of Balance"
"Christian Frei seemed entranced by hero worshipping, apparently having lost all sense of objectivity & critical judgment. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that the film was a blatant piece of propaganda"
Bloody Hell, it's worse than even I imagined in my darkest nightmares about #scamdemia.
Time to spend some of this tax money on local electronics, biological, ecological, IT, optical, chemistry, engineering & physics labs run by local amateurs for the benefit of our communities?
Short 🧵on Primer & PCR Test issues (Pangolin Covs)
1. The key issue with pangolins and Pcovs is that:
It was discovered that the standard PCR tests used in 2020, and often still used, failed to actually detect many of the betacoronaviruses generously hosted by the pangolins.
2. Unless
The samples are retested with bespoke primers & more accurate PCR tests available now,
We will not know exactly whIch Pangolin (or bat) coronaviruses were hosted by Pangolins at WIV & elsewhere pre-pandemic.
However, "they" (I will name who they are later) should, and perhaps in the future, may retest the stored samples at WIV, IPB, SCAU AND GIABR, to clarify the question of which coronaviruses were present in their pangolin samples.
2. May have been for research and commercial purposes, but they were caught bang to rights.
"LIU initially stated that he did not know what the materials were and that someone must have put them into his bag"
3. When asked why someone would put them into his bag, LIU stated that he did not know, and that maybe he had accidentally put the materials there. After further questioning, LIU acknowledged that the materials were different strains of the pathogen Fusarium graminearum
