Mandatory workplace vaccinations: A White House Stunt

"The president announced nearly a month ago that businesses need to mandate vaccines for their employees or submit them to weekly testing. We looked. It’s been a month. None of this paperwork has been filed with OSHA to make that happen.  Was this a stunt?
Are you seeing companies follow through even without the legal mandate filed?"

Asked by Margaret Brennan of Fauci.

Fauci "deflects" and doesn't answer.

Climate, weather, whatever: Antarctic froze good and hard

 Coldest winter on record "down south" in Anarctica. 

Have you ever thought about how to measure the temperature of the world and to detect a tenth of a degree change in it?
Click through to the ventusky map to get a sense of the variance and take a look at the options that vary from a few centimeters above the surface to turbulent kilometers above the surface, most of it measured from instruments more than a 100 km high in the sky.   There are almost no ground stations above the arctic circle now.

Worth waiting for the right test and the right vaccine product.

Eventually covid vaccines may be safe and testing useful.
The latest step forward is a 3 minute breath test that detects covid-19 and variants.
The breathalyser is fast, non-intrusive and duplicates PCR tests results "100%".
Missing is how the rate of false positives compares.

Peptide drops that replicate and sometimes concentrate nucleic acids: Missing link in evolution of life on earth

“The origin of molecular assemblies that proliferate from small molecules has remained a mystery for about a hundred years since the advent of the chemical evolution scenario. It has been the missing link between chemistry and biology in the origin of life.   ...  Researchers .set out to recreate this kind of self-propagating protocell in the lab. They started by combining amino acid derivatives to create a new small molecule that was primed to self-assemble into primitive cells. They added this mix to water at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure,...   The molecules condensed into peptides, which then formed droplets suspended in the water. When more amino acids were added – as might occur in nature – the droplets not only grew in size, but began to divide. ....  Most intriguingly, some of the droplets concentrated nucleic acids – macromolecules that can carry genetic information. Those droplets that did so were more likely to survive in the environment".

What's not to like:  A replicative process that preserves and even concentrates high value information.

Vaccine not working as advertised. Or is it worse than that?

 Senator Kennedy is making political points today but is he wrong?
The chart is what it is.
The three observations are what they are.
The unavoidable conclusion:  The vaccine is somewhat ineffective against a virus that keeps redesigning itself to get past the things that are trying to kill it.
The avoidable conclusion but one that can't be fully ruled out:  The vaccines are promoting the development of hardier viruses which results in additional illness and additional death.

Link here:
The three points:  The population is over 60% vaccinated.  Deaths had dropped significantly before the vaccine was introduced.  Cases and deaths have surged since the introduction of the vaccine.

Remember, CDC just sneak-edited the definition of "Vaccine".   Formerly a vaccine stimulated the immune system to develop immunity.  Now it just stimulates the immune system.  

Fatties: You are next! "Please scan your BMI passport to enter".

One app to rule them all is where we are heading.
Government wants to be that app.

Everyone will have to be on the net and you'll have a connected device whether you want one or not, in order to be granted civil freedom.
The vaccine passport perfectly advances the master app.

Your medical information bleeds into the public sphere.

Your whereabouts are trackable and it's for your own good.
China just got a headstart on Canada with social scores and staged permissions to travel by plane or bus.

Everything said about getting the jab works just as well for flagging fatties 
and shrinking liberties.

"Please scan your BMI passport to enter".
Restricting your rights as a citizen until your BMI is in the approved range is for your own good and for the good of your family and will save billions of health dollars.
If you try to enter a restaurant, your behaviour could be flagged by GPS as easily as by scanned passport.
If you want to enter a gym, no problem.

It's for your own good.   A lot of people agree with the idea that fat people should be told very firmly they have to lose weight,  since their weight is a burden on society and generally they got fat by their own choices.

Why am I picking on fatties?  Because I hear Covid-19 conversations that ask why the jab is so important for kids and people with natural or acquired immunity when obese people who are high risk for diabetes and many other expensive disabilities are not being shamed.  Our culture loves to promote the goodness of healthy kale and jogging and fitbits and slenderness.   The 20-30% who have Basal Metabolism Indexes in the obese range are a natural target.

So, fatties, you are next.

'The first rule of political sexuality' applies to Canada's 2021 election

"The Conservative philosophy is to “‘hunt where the ducks are,’ which is to say, tack ever further to the left.” The result is no duck for dinner. In shunting a traditionally right-of-center party into the left’s impregnable bailiwick in an effort to pilfer votes, O’Toole ensured his party’s defeat. He never understood the first rule of political sexuality, that that you must first love your own before attempting to seduce your adversaries.

(Trudeau)was re-elected, an event that could be viewed not only as a political farce but equally as a withering indictment of an irresponsible and profoundly myopic electorate."

Vaccination Passport: Passport to Poverty

Thanks to the ill-advised vaccination passport mandate, here's what i won't be spending:

One retired guy, unvaccinated, who is now a second-class citizen, will delete over $30,000 from the BC economy in the year ahead.  Health officer Bonnie Henry is neither a scientist nor an economist.  The unintended consequences of shrinking our personal and family freedoms for guessed-at collective benefits will damage our beautiful province.

 

 

Codevilla on war and international affairs: Groups are who they are, want what they want, and do what they do.

 From "Advice to War Presidents" by Angelo Codevilla who passed away this week:

"This book .. looks at international affairs as the interaction of individuals and groups
who are what they are, want what they want, and do what they do. 
It is about the consequences of forgetting common-sense definitions: 
that diplomacy is mere communication,
that international intercourse requires a positive imbalance of means over ends,
that allies are available in inverse proportion to the need for them,
and that war is the avenue to peace via the gateway of the enemy's death or submission."

"No amount of wishing can
abstract from fact that we are one variety or another of Sinotic or North African or Negroid or European,
or break the molds in which our civilizations cast us,
cancel the categories that our relgions have stamped on our minds,
make tasteful the things that have revolted us since childhood,
lessen our tribal averisons and affections,
or reduce the relevance of the regimes in which we live.
Our statesmen deny the relevance of diffferences - of other people's loves and hates, calcualations and intrigues - treating all as if they were not foreign at all."

"Leveraging the advantages of our sex differences".

 Today's quote:

"The modern world is out of sync with our ancient brains and bodies. We evolved to live in clans, but today most people don't even know their neighbors' names. Survival in our earliest societies depended on leveraging the advantages of our sex differences, but today even the concept of biological sex is increasingly dismissed as offensive. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we're not built for is killing us."

My underline there. I'd rewrite the last sentence:  "Cognitive dissonance is spawned by trying to live in a society we're not built for.".   A source for sex-behavioural-differences-as-specialization-for-evolutionary-advantage is the linked book.

CDC data (attached) show Covid deaths are almost off the radar.

CDC's own data shows that actual deaths from Covid-19 have dropped so low they are almost off the radar.     

This update is so different from the fear porn still propagating in the media.

Vaccine fascism: "A symbiosis between political power and corporate enterprise."

Some choice words are printed here from columnist David Solway. Read his colunn for the rest.

A program for "removing pollution from the social body" is

"shrewdly conscripting a public that wishes above everything to belong to a pervasive consensus while consigning a portion of the population to a social leprosarium"

The unvaccinated are the "New Jews at risk of disenfranchisement and worse in the increasingly fascist temper of the times".  (He grew up jewish in Quebec, "maudit juif".)

When politicians get a savor of unlimited and incontestable power, most cannot withstand the allure. It is the devil’s offer to Christ on the domestic plane, and they have neither the character nor the moral fortitude to resist the temptation. The state then proceeds to forge an alliance with the corporate world to enhance its control of the public atrium, knowing that corporations will assist the government in refusing service to medical dissidents. Given the symbiosis between political power and corporate enterprise, we have the core definition of fascism. The issue is complex and hotly contested, but state corporatism remains the crux and organizing principle of the movement

The next crisis will be a surprise until it becomes obvious: 7 financial shocks that are probably in the pipeline now.

 Here's the summary from Law& Liberty

1    What nobody sees coming
2    A purely malicious macro-hack of the financial system.
3    All the central banks get it wrong together
4    A housing collapse again
5    An electricity system failure
6    The next pandemic
7    A major war

Those are the headings.  A quick read at the link fills in the detail.
Of course these are coming and of course there will be some more major wars.

About half the Covid-19 hospital beds are filled with people who aren't sick with Covid-19

Doctors reviewed hospital admission data for Covid-19. 40 to 45% of the patients were not admitted because of the virus and were not treated for the virus either.   The admission data referencing the virus meant their immune systems had encountered the Covid-19 virus, not that they were in a hospital bed because of it.   Did you read that hospitals in the US are now getting only $40,000 top-up federal aid per patient identified with traces of Covid-19?

If there were fewer lies and less wilful fudging of data, I'd find it easier to respect 'experts'.

ADDED
The data is from a joint study of the Harvard Medical School, Tufts Medical Center and Veteran Affairs.

The study analyzed the electronic records for nearly 50,000 COVID hospital admissions from VA hospitals nationwide. According to The Atlantic, the authors then “checked to see whether each patient required supplemental oxygen or had a blood oxygen level below 94 percent. [The latter criterion is based on the National Institutes of Health definition of ‘severe COVID.’] If either of these conditions was met, the authors classified that patient as having moderate to severe disease; otherwise, the case was considered mild or asymptomatic.”

Protofascists with liberal lipstick

"A great many “liberals” are in fact proto-fascists who derive an unseemly satisfaction from bossing the rest of us around through “emergency” decrees"    John Hinderaker

The era of covid hysteria has been clarifying in some respects. We have learned that a great many “liberals” are in fact proto-fascists who derive an unseemly satisfaction from bossing the rest of us around through “emergency” decrees–a classic fascist tactic, especially when the alleged emergency is a respiratory virus with something like a 99.8% survival rate.

Open letter to Dr Henry and the rest from Okanagan physicians: Detailed refutation of Covid Policy.

Here's the link.  It's long because the facts that ought to prevail are many.   
The authors highlight fatal defects in testing and thoughout the reporting domain for Covid.  They link to Bonnie Henry's own testimony in 2015 that masking is of doubtful benefit.  Treatments for the unhospitalized are overlooked and general measures to stay healthy are not publicized.  Sadly there is much more, all of it documented.   Division is provoked while foundational research data for BC policy is not on offer or may not exist.
