René Magritte After the water, the clouds 1926 • The Epidemiological Relevance Of The Vaccinated Population Increase (Lancet) • The Impact Of M
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle December 2 2021]All political trigger words today, mark ignore. I mean more than usual.
“Cook County Blows Past 1,000 Homicides This Year In First Since 1994
Thanksgiving weekend “war zone” in streets included machine gun fire…”So weird as guns are illegal there. It’s almost like they’re not following the law! Meanwhile, in gun-lax New Hampshire, no one was shot. Unlike Sweden, grenade capital of the world.
I know this is weird, but we might want to consider that criminals don’t follow the law. Gun ownership and rules are not correlated to violence or crime. In fact, if anything, gun-free zones are the most violent in the nation. For gun violence as well as ordinary crime. Idea: It’s only been 100 years, let’s do it moar, that’ll work.
“France Deploys Military Police To Caribbean Islands Amid Unrest Over Vaccine Mandate:
There is a historic mistrust of the government’s handling of health crises in Guadeloupe after many people were systematically exposed to toxic pesticides used in banana plantations in the 1970s…”Ah but when – I – am suspicious, it’s stupid and wrong. I don’t see why, as allegedly I am also a human being, I can’t share in suspicions of non-stop medical crimes encompassing tens of thousands, hundred thousand, or millions of people, with billions in civil suits paid each year, thalidomide and Tuskegee, on and on, back to day 1. Apparently only if you’re black are you allowed to be suspicious. If you’re white and were killed by the same experiments in the same way, it’s stupid and paranoid. If you’re native, and the same thing happened such that your entire race is killed, and is being rounded up, encamped, and probably killed now, it’s actually WRONG to be suspicious or anything. You have no right and should take the shot. Says White Karen, the same one who helped them off the plains and behind a plow, wiped out their language, culture, children, gold, and lives with their #Helping. But it was only 100 years in a row or something. Not enough time to notice things like rape safaris and forced sterilization, and nothing they should be suspicious about.
I mention it because they went ape on Hopi/Navaho (again) in 2020 to get them all corralled in, and were very. disapproving. With a let-me-talk-to-your-manager strongly-written-letter that Indians didn’t want to any more than the rest of the country. See? You’re not allowed. White Karen is your mommy, brown people are poor little jungle children, and mommy knows best!
“86 stillbirths in 6 months in fully vaccinated mothers in Waterloo, Ontario”
How’d that go in Hopiland? The same? Karen will get them yet. Or is that just for the reservation in nearby Brantford?Yes, this is the thing that makes me furious about it, the worst racism of all the flavors, and as proven –again – the most harmful and murderous. I’m your superior/Mommy/subhuman expectations and responsibilities. If some allegations are true, White Karen may have just killed 100x more than all White Supremacists in the last 100 years combined.
They’re also super-mad black babies are about to be born, as the abortion debate resumes. You know: “My body, my choice.” A case resting on complete medical privacy. Uh, say what? In a Federales of forced mandates and public vaccine passports in a central database owned by every private corporation and China? We support bodily choice and integrity and privacy? When Conservatives pick on them for the slogan, they’re considered discourteous cads. “I say good sir, how dare you now? Bringing up blatant hypocrisy — have you no honor?” A PMC always covers for a PMC. That’s the Wooster code.
Bringing that up because the media has decided that R v. Wade is lost. Um, what? Hold on here, R v Wade is the worst legal decision in the 20th century, makes no sense, had no legal basis as the court was inventing law instead of Congress, although the cut-out it created was relatively sensible. But as a case? O M G. Poster-child of how idiotic USSC is and can be, having not a lick of legal sense.
Anyway, if the courts and case are all real and not political, if nothing is planned and pushed around by hidden forces like a puppet show, HOW exactly, HOW does the media know this is happening and already happened? And I will guess they are correct, as half of my predictions are build on how THEY signal. Like Deflationista. When they lose their minds for illogical arguments, I know something’s up and they just have the force-feeding tube in hand and can make a pile of money on how criminal they’re about to be with the latest “yellowcake”. And how all the media, people, courts, congress, police, are about to let them. This is beginning to develop as one of those media things, although still a seedling right now.
So the USSC is real. Kavanaugh, among others, SUPPORTED Wade in his almost very first case. Barrett came out against all things Conservative immediately, no surprise. They’re not GOP/Trump in the slightest as they wouldn’t even hear the case of the election fraud after jumping in and picking Bush out of a hat for no reason, with no need or legal authority whatsoever just a few years earlier. So the media isn’t reading inside baseball. No special case/questions are appearing, although they actually seem to have some brains in asking, as they should, and in history often have. Ex: One asks, “Why is this court involved and not the States or Congress?” Fair enough. “Tell me why THESE number of days (15weeks) are unacceptable instead of these OTHER number of days(24w).” The State’s lawyer then OPENLY LIES about, in comparison, how the timing of abortion is done in Europe. Um, yeah, as if Roberts doesn’t know? WTF? He brought it up to the prosecution because he JUST READ IT. Do you think lying to his face on something easily checked on Google is going make him happy and win your argument? A: No. But they lie all day, every day, ‘cause no one will stop them, get in the habit, and just do it reflexively. I mean, since birth, since prep school, since Smith and Vassar, since when was lying and cheating not the right answer?
So interesting. That, yes, we have USSC-level lawyers openly lying and gaslighting USSC judges to their faces, ‘cause ‘Merica, but the media having already called the trial and already responding to its reversal is way more important. That tells me we have no court system, no law – I mean if you haven’t already noticed. It comes up about twice a week for twenty years. cough*Julian*cough. PfizerFauciLaw*cough. GeorgeBush*cough.
I actually don’t have much opinion on abortion, just that the case itself and the pro-choice argument makes no logical sense. The Libertarian argument is to not get involved in your personal business if we can at all help it.
Other question: why is it so important? What underlies the fury about a law about something that doesn’t happen all that much in the big scheme? As logical people say about Covid, drug use, Type II, and everything else. The less important it is, the more we can say it. Like Justin Timberlake v. 400 worldwide military bases, using most of the world’s carbon and leaking uranium.
“NYC Prisons Face Crippling Staff Shortages As Thousands Defy Mayor’s Vaccination Mandate”
Since the mandate has been struck down 3x in a row already (tho Federally), DeBlasio definitely has to do this, and because no guards, definitely has to legally release all the felons, who like yesterday, go rob someone at knifepoint 30 minutes later. And are arrested again, and released. But so long as we TRACK them every minute, write down their crimes in a database, and do literally nothing, that’s loving and fine. Drive them around town for a free cab ride. Like the border. “If it kills Americans, it’s good.™” Vote for Burr. Don’t you dare defend yourself, ’cause the government won’t. Yay! We’re the smartestestest!
You see, the reason to collect data is to NOT act on it. (Actually, it’s for corporations and Derp State to blackmail Congressmen – and USSC Judges? – but whatever)
“people will say it happens all the time.”
Sure, pal, sure. Yeah, I remember watching games my whole life and almost every game someone dropped dead on camera. I mean surely you remember when we always saw this, right? It happened to Ty Cobb and Muhammad Ali.
How many fingers am I holding up? A: Just the one. Guess which.
Water is life. That’s why Fauci’s Scienz cohorts over at the EPA/Monsanto poison all water from raindrop to sea. “Water: It’s now safe as RoundUp!™”
Clearly the endless lack of motion in the news cycle has put me in a mood.
Tried to copy this but I’m gunna type the thing out because it made me feel good and I hope it makes others in this circle feel good too. It’s cheesy but like Rock Ballads or Lada Gaga a bit of cheese can go a long way.
This is your reminder that if you still have not caved to the powers that be, you’ve just survived the greatest psyop in human history, a plan that has been in the works for decades.
Do you realize how much time, resources, money and effort they put into this? They studied every possible way to manipulate, brainwash and coerce you. They tried to demoralize you by corrupting society from every possible corner. They tried to vilify you, desensitize you, scare you, guilty you and shame you. They tried to lure you with money, gifts and rewards. They tried to confuse you and make you question your reality and even your sanity at times. They tried to get you to abandon your own principles, values, morals and ethics. They even turned those close to you against you.
Almost everyone fell for it. But not you. So just sit back for a moment and realize how much you’ve weathered over these last 20 months. Yet you never gave in! You stood your ground against all odds. And not only did you not drop to your knees, you rose like a Phoenix in the night and stepped fully and completely into your power.
Well done.
Well done.
Maybe…
…this is only the beginning…endurance counts…and “they” have it too…
I’m not that optimistic…
I think we’re about to find out just how tough we really are…upstateNYer – hey you have been on my mind and I literally thought of you while typing it out. Wow cosmic.
Hope everyone is doing okay – it’s turning out to be a reeeeeeeaaaaal shit show down here in VEGEMITE land I can tell you.They won’t let me in the hardware as I am not certified as a Genetic Therapy Agent inductee and they also don’t want to serve me at the garden centre but I just barge in with cash and they kinda can’t resist. I walk past rooms (cafe/restaurants) as I can’t go in anymore – filled with maskless people having lunch breathing food and puke-breath into each others chest vacuums. I can however pick up take away if I wait outside and have my barcode scanned to prove -what my triangulated smartphone already tells – that I existed in that spot for that 1 and a half minutes while I breathed all over the air with my sick nature. Horrid body I have – tanned and ripped with muscle from a life of landscaping, dance and martial arts – living as I do on my 10 acre self-sufficient permaculture paradise on largely home-grown food. Evil savage – sick until proven healthy via Zelenko’s death shot.
Clown World
Lastly – I am over-sharing tonight sorry. So many comments from Dr D, John Day, Michael Reid, Maxwell Quest and stacks of others I have wanted to respond too lately but so busy. Thank you all.
Also I am getting whispers and as we know whispers can be bullshit but here in Aus stockpiling a little extra Rice and Beans is not a bad idea…If you control food – you control people – Henry Kissinger
Cheer up, V Arnold. The first wave always catches us a bit off guard. Now we know what to expect with subsequent waves. If the no vaxx mandate/passport feel anything like I do, they’ve dug in even harder and will not fold. What started as simply “I don’t want your stinking shot” has turned into “F*ck you, no matter what I’m not giving in.”
We are not alone. Hang in, hang on.
Every person in every country should be stockpiling nonperishable food if they are in any way able to do so. Forget about “not going into debt” and all that other BS that keeps honest people from taking advantage of a system that the not-so-honest use to their advantage every single day. Stockpile food. Stockpile any other essential items your family needs to get by. As oxy pointed out some time ago, this ain’t no dress rehearsal.
Published at nature.com, a comprehensive investigation found that while Covid vaxxes enhance immune response to the Covid virus, they could be reducing people’s general antiviral ability and leaving their immune systems in a more vulnerable state.
This is a comprehensive investigation of the pathophysiological changes, including detailed immunological alterations in people after COVID-19 vaccination. Results indicated that vaccination, in addition to stimulating the generation of neutralizing antibodies, also influenced various health indicators including those related to diabetes, renal dysfunction, cholesterol metabolism, coagulation problems, electrolyte imbalance, in a way as if the volunteers experienced an infection. scRNA-seq of PBMCs from volunteers before and after vaccination revealed dramatic changes in immune cell gene expression, not only echoing some of the clinical laboratory measures but also suggestive of increased NF-κB-related inflammatory responses, which turned out to be mainly taking place in classical monocytes. Vaccination also increased classical monocyte contents. Moreover, the gene set positively contributing to MVS scores, also known to be associated with severe symptom development, was highly expressed in monocytes. Type I interferon (IFN-α/β) responses, supposedly beneficial against COVID-19, were downregulated after vaccination. In addition, the negative MVS genes were highly expressed in lymphocytes (T, B, and NK cells), yet showed reduced expression after vaccination. Together, these data suggested that after vaccination, at least by day 28, other than generation of neutralizing antibodies, people’s immune systems, including those of lymphocytes and monocytes, were perhaps in a more vulnerable state.
…suggesting that perhaps vaccination, while reduced a person’s general antiviral ability, enhanced adaptive immune function specifically towards SARS-CoV-2…
Our study postulates that it is imperative to consider the potential long-term impact of vaccination to certain medical conditions or to general human health.
Comprehensive investigations revealed consistent pathophysiological alterations after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41421-021-00329-3I use potassium metabisulphite in winemaking as an antioxidant and preservative. It has been used for centuries as a preservative to keep food and drink unmolested by bacteria and oxygen (spoilage, basically). There is also a sodium version (aka campden tablets) If it ever comes to it, some of this chemical is handy to have around at a time when the water supply is cut.
Some people have sulpite allergies. It is toxic at high levels and should only be used sparingly. There is guidance on usage. For winemaking I use no more than 1gram potassium metabisulphite per gallon during the entire process. This is excessive for purifying water. I would opt for far less (say, 1 gram for a 4 or 5 gallon batch of water) and add more if it is being stored for an extenstive duration. If the vessel is air tight you most likely only need to add 1/4 teaspoon every fortnight or month. It isn’t necessarily scientific. It is just to keep algae and bacteria from breeding in the water.
If you homebrew you will have plenty of fermenting buckets sitting around. I have many 33 litre and a few 66 litre fermenting tubs. All of them have lids with airlock holes and some of them have tap holes. In an emergency it is wise to fill these up with water and preserve the water from bacterial infection and oxidisation with k-meta (potassium metabisuphite).
When the power goes out all the meat in the freezer will go off. If you have a few big bags of salt and big plastic tubs/ceramic pots, you can cure the meat once it is fully defrosted. There is a calculation by weight, something in the region of 3 days curing per kilo/2 Lb of meat. After it has been fully cured in salt it should be air dried. It should take 3 months or so for a 1 & 1/2 kilo (3lb) piece at or below 14c/57f and at a humidity of around 70%. You will want to ensure that the meat is nowhere near mice or rodents. One way to do this is to hang it and use a fine metal mesh around some sort of structure it sits in to cover it. It should have a substantial layer of pencillin mould covering it by the time it is ready. Green or black mould is a warning sign. Trust your nose, it should smell like charcuterie meat. Botulism is a risk with preserved foods and despite advice to the contrary, prague power/nitrite does not prevent botulism, it merely give the meat a pinker colour and preserves the flavour a little more than if it wasn’t used. There is a link to cancer through using nitrite so I do not bother with it. Traditional Italian parma ham, coppa and Spanish Iberico Jamon is traditionally done with nothing but salt, (sometimes sugar) and spices.
Beer and winemaking requires lots of space and raw materials. For every batch of all grain beer I use about 5 kilos/11lbs of malted barley. I buy in bulk amounts of 25kilos/55lbs and store these in airtight wheeled bins in the garage. These wheeled bins double up nicely for long term food storage so we have plenty of rice, flour, sugar, pasta, dried beans etc. Rodents have not made their way into them yet and this is after 5 years sitting in the garage with very tasty sweet malted barley in them.
There is no chance of making wine from real grapes in the UK unless you own one of the few vineyards in the UK. British wine is not great due to a short summer. As a result my wine comes from kits mostly supplied from Canadian manufacturers such as Vineco.
Brewing wine and beer requires a great deal of patience and attention to detail. Hygene is of particular importance and I have thrown a few batches down the drain due to infection. Make sure you use an acid-based no-rinse sanitiser whenever an item comes into contact with the must/wort at every stage of the brewing process. Clean everything before, during and after contact and control your fermentation temperature to between 21c/70f and 18c/64f. No wide swings in temperature or you will get off flavours.
I use a grain mill for grinding whole malted barley. For tougher grains like wheat, I have a corn hand mill. Of course, it can grind corn and other tougher grains as well.
Brewing beer and wine is a very involved hobby and there are plenty of great resources on the internet. Good books too. I will not get too in-depth about it here unless requested.
How many fingers am I holding up? A: Just the one. Guess which.
Reading in to that one, didn’t see it coming, hilarious. (Popeye the sailor chuckle) Thanks, Dr. D.
Anyway, Was watching Fauci yesterday pushing the boosters. Selling the idea of even higher level of antibodies can be achieved with a booster. More is better. So what can happen in the limit?
Severe (grade III) tetanus occurred in three immunized patients who had high serum levels of anti-tetanus antibody. The disease was fatal in one patient. One patient had been hyperimmunized to produce commercial tetanus immune globulin. Two patients had received immunizations 1 year before presentation. Anti-tetanus antibody titers on admission were 25 IU/ml to 0.15 IU/ml by hemagglutination and ELISA assays; greater than 0.01 IU/ml is considered protective. Even though one patient had seemingly adequate anti-tetanus titers by in vitro measurement (0.20 IU), in vivo mouse protection bioassays showed a titer less than 0.01 IU/ml, implying that there may have been a hole in her immune repertoire to tetanus neurotoxin but not to toxoid. This is the first report of grade III tetanus with protective levels of antibody in the United States. The diagnosis of tetanus, nevertheless, should not be discarded solely on the basis of seemingly protective anti-tetanus titers.
Doc Robinson,
We just might get to see this play out in Japan over the next 6 to 8 weeks. They recently achieved a low case and death rate. Knee jerk reaction to omicron just in time for booster kickoff yesterday.

The battles of Immune.
” …. you rose like a Phoenix in the night and stepped fully and completely into your power.”The battles never ends. One more challenger called Omicrone.
Mr. Ng-Ivermectin…..
Please read Raul’s entry on this topic. The read it again. You will glean a great detail how “hospitals” function; how nameless individuals make decisions about a patient’s health and then hide behind the hospital’s facade; how the hospital presented its obstruction to Mr. Ng’s life-saving medication as routine hospital administration; how a hospital, a collection of disembodied narcissists if not bonafide psychopaths, sit in judgment of a patient’s healthcare in repeated defiance of several court orders to the contrary AND NOT ONE OF THOSE SONSOFBITCHES will be sanctioned by the credentials committee for impersonating Mr. Ng’s personal physician or suspended by the state medical board.
These attitudes, immeasurable arrogance, are the thoughts and behaviors every patient is subjected to when they enter a hospital. The coronacrisis has laid bare this phenomenon.As I’ve heard about increased homicide rates in the US (and someone local on Nextdoor.com bemoaning why anyone would be so rude as to steal Christmas inflatables from a front yard) it has occurred to me that it is less likely that some humans have suddenly become more depraved, and more likely that a sizeable subset of humans have become more desperate. Fewer participants up in the workforce, rising prices, increased authoritarian rules, widening wealth and income disparities — these have consequences that ripple through populations.
oxymoron, thank you for that post. You are very brave. I often wonder,is it really that bad over there? It’s hard to know what’s real anymore.
My work is still preparing for the mandates, but not acting on them yet as the lawsuits are pending. At least there is that. They do keep reminding us we need our first shot now if we are going to make the 1/4 deadline.
It’s so strange at work, I’m so busy, I’m leading a large team and massive projects. They just hired me a year ago for this major transformation. I just keep moving forward and trying to pretend like this all isn’t happening, but I may just disappear in a few weeks! At the university they just reported a record number of students are failing their classes. This is a mid-sized land-grant research university in a red state that is more “normal” than most, yet the students and faculty and staff are silently losing it. And everyone feels it. I don’t think people can take much more, but I suppose that’s the point. Well, better get ready for work.
Snob behavior. My sandbox. My rules. My pecking order.
These attitudes, immeasurable arrogance, are the thoughts and behaviors every patient is subjected to when they enter a hospital.

The flood waters have left a sludge covering everything.
The search is being mounted to find where/if the toxics have polluted the land.
Maybe, escaped weed killers are sterilizing the land of weeds.
Maybe, all organic production will be banned from the flooded plains.
Maybe, the rains, after the floods, have diluted harmful toxins and left only beneficial organic fertilizers.
Maybe, Canadian inspectors are more paranoid than everywhere else that have had floods.

Good call on reminder about using salt to preserve meat. I should pick up more salt. I haven’t tried that method on meat before, but I did try it with olives once, to remove the bitters. My sister and brother in law have borrowed my electric slicer indefinitely to make jerky in their smoker — this is another tried and true method of meat preservation.Small quantities of regular bleach can preserve sealed water. My mother has actually been known to “can” water in mason jars to preserve potable water.
In the past I brewed wine and beer…if things get dicey, I will restart…could come in handy for barter. If one is not a purist, having granulated sugar on hand is the easiest way to ferment stuff into alcoholic beverages — sugar can be added to any fruit juice so that the resultant mixture approaches the sugar contents of grapes — I even made tomato wine that way once. And sugar can be stored for a very long time with no off flavors, just need to keep the moisture, insects, and rodents away. (Honey can store in sealed containers for extended periods of time as well.)
I’ve been feeling the urge lately to make my garden more productive, rather than just a supplemental hobby. I have seeds in the ground, in trays on the porch, and in discarded clear plastic food containers indoors. The green pepper and lettuce for yesterday’s dinner came from the garden, tomatoes and eggplant are slowly growing on their vines. The arugula and lemons are abundant, as they always are this time of year. (My front yard has reseeded itself with arugula, basil, and fennel for years now…an odd combination, to be sure.)
Domestic partner and I have been watching MASH. Last night had an episode where a lady from the Red Cross brought a group of children to the 4077 who had cuts and scrapes from their village being bombed. Hawkeye decided that they should be inoculated against tetanus, just to be safe. All of the children developed hives. The doctors were flummoxed as to why *all* of the children would react thus. They had to keep the children at the camp for a day or two to manage the allergic reaction. Col. Potter returned from Tokyo and explained to the other doctors that it was because the children all ate horse meat, and the tetanus vaccine serum was derived from horse serum. I related that to current events — how easy it is to assume that the Covid vaccine (or any medical procedure) will work as expected in a given population, how easy it is to overlook some detail, and then cause harm. I thought about the depicted Korean children, and how confusing it would be as they were first mass vaccinated, and subsequently given injections to stop the allergic reactions.
@ dr d rich
I hear you. A few years ago my d partner underwent his first surgery ever, first hospital admission ever to have some of his hyper parathyroid glands removed. Afterwards, he was given iv calcium which contributed towards high blood pressure, which freaked out the hospital staff, which then kept him overnight (he was supposed to go home that night) and insisted that he take high blood pressure meds…I’m bungling the details and probably getting them wrong. However, the purpose in sharing is that he had an internal understanding of what was going on in his body, was refusing ordered treatments, hospital staff was getting ornery with him, and he felt threatened because his demands were being ignored. When he came home the next day he took only a portion of the prescribed oral calcium, bought himself a blood pressure monitor and kept track of it himself. His system regulated quickly. I looked into the relevant literature and discovered that there were multiple schools of thought regarding quantity of calcium immediately following that type of surgery…and that his intuition was quite likely correct that the prescribed regimen was too high, too generic, and not sufficiently calibrated to his body. (Too much calcium was causing him to produce copious amounts of urine, something which he was acutely aware of.)Kerry Mullins, inventor of the PCR test explains what it’s designed to do. From an old interview
PCR technology was invented in 1983 by American biochemist Kary Mullis to let scientists to study tiny samples of DNA in detail. For this, he won the Nobel prize. At a panel discussing PCR in 1993, Mullis stated quite plainly that PCR should not be used to diagnose illness. 123/ pic.twitter.com/V9hJE5hgDw

Kerry Mulling, in an old interview has choice words about Fauci’s misuse of the PCR test.
In a 1996 interview Mullis had choice words for Anthony Fauci, then head of the US response to AIDS—especially Fauci’s misuse of PCR. Set the Ct high enough and PCR can pick up any amount of viral matter and yield endless “cases”—a permanent pandemic. 124/pic.twitter.com/AMdTjGHfNg

@phoenix – I always recommend new brewers to start small. All you need is a syphon, fermenting bucket, sanitiser, long plastic spoon, bottle capper + crown caps (along with glass bottles) and a can of hopped malt extract (Coopers kits are good) Once brewers get the concept they can move on to all grain and hops and start boiling + cooling their own recipes. It’s a lot like cooking. Except it takes a month to see if it tastes any good.
Potable water from the tap is already treated with chlorine (bleach) so a little more of the same will work to keep it bug-free.
Interesting fact, the chemical reaction of sulphite neutralises chlorine from tapwater. If your homebrew tastes bad because of high levels of chloramine, a pinch of k-meta to standing water in the fermenter (at least a few hours before pitching the yeast) can improve this particular flaw considerably.
Sulphites smell like pungent onions – yuck! Don’t breathe in the “aroma” unless you like bad coughing with watering eyes. It disperses with time in the water you add it to.
Yes, table sugar is needed when other sources of sugars (maltose, fructose etc) are not available. You add sugar to a beer or wine kit to begin with although it robs the beverage of body so if you prefer a full-bodied beer (or glass of red) malt/malt extract (or pure grape concentrate) yields a better final product.
I love gardening and growing my own food. I’ve not been able to do it since I moved out of my parents house in the 90’s. Hopefully one day in the not-too-distant I can get back to tending a vegetable patch again. I fondly remember standing opposite the plum trees while fruit bats would fly between me and the over-ripe plums. Some crazy little mammal creatures that we share this amazing planet with!
I’m finding any detour from paying too much attention to the horrific realities we are facing a welcome one. The serenity prayer has been in my thoughts regularly for the past 10 years. More so even more recently. I hope it gives the good folk here at TAE as much peace of mind as it has given me.
Thanks to Illargi for your continued good efforts (and sharing great memes – we all need the laughs!!)
Best wishes all
Yesterday somebody linked to a Jerusalem post article about two triple jabbed docs that were infected with omicron. Israel rolled out their booster campaign at the end of June. Docs were probably first in line. ~5 months later they are catching and spreading the virus. Time for a fourth jab.
Also, any insight into why they are recommending a J&J booster only after two months?
Kary Mullis to be exact. Glad you’re glad, Dora.
Update: I don’t want to insinuate anything about the time of Mullis’s death, but if he had not died in August 2019, his PCR test could ever have been used the way it has over the past almost 2 years. He would have been very vocal about this.
The more reports that I hear, the more I think that Omicron/omygod virus has been forged by our immune system to save us.
@Kassandra: ” … yet the students and faculty and staff are silently losing it. And everyone feels it. I don’t think people can take much more, but I suppose that’s the point.”
Agreed 100%. Interesting you’re seeing this in a red state, but I guess normal isn’t normal anywhere anymore. Here in NY I’d be surprised if people *didn’t* start losing it, especially with our new governor being the way she is.
..why is a booster required 2 months out from a J&J jab?
Something to do with its effectiveness being down to 16% after 6 months?
The whole thing is imploding. UK 3 months, Greece 4 months, NBA 2 months.
The vaccines simply do not work, other than shocking your immune system into some sort of paralysis for a short while.
Raul, I’ve often pondered the timing of the Mullis death. You’re right, he would have been highly vocal and wouldn’t have cared who he pissed off.
I think Omicron exists/ gets all this attention, to hide the fact that the vaccines don’t work. Now they can say that’s only because there’s a new variant.
Which, by the way, is much milder, and has so far only been observed in fully vaccinated.
Ilargi thx for the link to the Lancet paper, hadn’t seen it, sent it on to 7 ppl, docs and the like.
The Lancet still has a lot! of cred.
Refering to UK Gvmt. stats and those of Israeli Gvmt, re.: vaxxed cases infected, taking into account the % of the age group vaxxed which show that vaxxed // unvaxxed is similar … cuts no ice, if shown to docs, med researchers, etc. here (Switz.)
Anecdotal: grand sample of 4 ppl.
They say, why should I trust the the UK Gvmt? Or the Israelis? The Isr. Gvmt. is loathed >> Palestine. The UK has a horrible image: Bojo the clown, liar, creep, highest cases in Europe, no longer in the club, etc.
oxy, thx for that post.
About that second person diagnosed with the 0 Micron variant. Jabbed, mild symptoms, and also recovered quickly. Time for more freakout I suppose, but I still find it weird that the only people with this variant are jabbed and seemingly passed only between the jabbed. Either the jab is causing the “illness” or the “variant”, as El Gato and @John-Day noted, is being used to cover up majority COVID infection/hospitalizations/death (Delta or otherwise) in the jabbed. In other words (dare I say it), a work of fiction meant to sow chaos.
“”The person with the Omicron variant is an adult male, is a resident of Hennepin County, and had been vaccinated. The person developed mild symptoms on Nov. 22 and sought COVID-19 testing on Nov. 24. The person’s symptoms have resolved.
The person spoke with MDH case investigators and reported traveling to New York City (Jab Passportlandia) and attended the Anime NYC 2021 convention at the Javits Center from Nov. 19-21. The person was advised to isolate from others. Minnesota epidemiologists will continue to investigate in collaboration with New York City and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
All speculation on my part, granted, but about a week of mild symptoms does pretty much amount to a cold.
