Can you believe these ignorant little shits? They WANT to be led around by the nose. What happened to our young people? This country is raising bolcheviks. Imagine when you were a teenager actually protesting because you aren't being lorded over enough. Incredible.

Park City students walk out of class to protest Utah Legislature

******************

PARK CITY, Utah — Over 100 students at Park City High School walked out of class Thursday to protest the Utah Legislature's efforts to overturn mask mandates.

The students are angered over a resolution passed Tuesday in the Utah State Senate which would overturn the mandates in Summit County, where Park City is located, along with Salt Lake County. The Utah House has yet to take up the resolution.

"These actions by the state legislature are unacceptable and put Park City's and Utah's population at risk," a video showed one student saying over a megaphone.

Free day out of school with no consequences.

I managed to make it 22 months without getting the China Flu. Now I'm naturally immunized (the best option)

My 5th grade (age 11) son's teacher gave it to 6 kids in his class last week. I don't blame her, shit happens. I think she called in sick on Wednesday. My son left school not feeling well on Friday. Saturday I gave him a take home test I got from my neighbor and he tested positive. The tests expired over 1 year ago, but still seem to be accurate.

My son gave it to my other son (10), my wife and me. After I brought him home on Friday I decided we all might as well get it and have natural immunity. This only symptoms both of my kids had was they were tired for less than 1 day. They each slept for a few hours in the afternoon on 1 day. My 11 YO on the Friday he came home and my 10 YO on Monday. Wife felt like shit and slept most of the day on Sunday. I felt like shit on Tuesday, and also had a huge headache. I kinda felt crappy on Wednesday and took another sick day.

Of course, as most of us on here know, the vaccines don't do shit to stop the spread. Wife and I got our 2 Pfizer shots in late Oct and Nov because our employers told us we'd lose our jobs if we didn't get the shots. Neither of my sons have had the shots...and they won't.

So wife and I got the China Flu roughly 5 weeks after being "fully vaccinated". What a bunch of horse shit these "vaccines" are. It still pisses me off my employer forced me get the shots under cover of a .gov mandate (my employer is a gov contractor). I've worked form home 100% since 2014 and have zero in-person interactions with anyone at my company.

While only 1 of us technically tested positive, I am 100% certain we all had it. We didn't "report" the positive tests to anyone. Fuck them, I am not adding our 4 cases to the positive #'s.

My wife and I are getting over it currently. I came down with it last Thursday and she on Friday. Symptoms went from flu like to currently more headcold like. I seem to have lost all sense of smell and most sense of taste, I thought that wasn't supposed to happen.

I am fully convinced that we have seen, over the past 18 months, the birth of a new religion: Covidianism.

Its practitioners are the liberals, the mainstream media, the misinformed, the uninformed , the "players", and those whom they have terrified over what is now a virus equivalent to the common cold.

The objects of worship are the vaccine, the mask, and the mainstream media. The redeemer of these adherents is the vaccine which in the eyes of the liberals is a fulcrum for applying power and control over the true believers. Against Omicron, it is nothing but a placebo. The "Players" believe in the vaccine for another reason, money and lots of it.

Both of the above groups have good reason to keep the others frightened and convinced that their government is coming to their aid. Power and money arise from this charade.

No government has ever saved their people from a pandemic. Neither will this one or any of the others around the world applying Draconian measures against their populations.


Enter the United Kingdom, who just yesterday threw their collective governing hands into the air and ended all mandates including the mask mandate.


May the true God inspire us all to follow their example.

My work just put the kibosh on any cloth masks or gaiters, a mask is required for entry and we are *supposed* to keep it on all day, but I “forget” to put it back on while at my desk.

Only three-ply surgical masks, N95 or KN95 are permissible now. I notice at least 50-60% of people still have the cloth masks so this is going to get interesting.

They live and die by the CDC, I was just joking with my wife today that if the CDC came out with “guidance” that walking around with a finger up your rectum would help keep Covid away, my place of work would be insisting on two fingers and deep, by Monday morning.

The blue surgical masks work great - for stopping the spread of bacteria, allergens and pollution.

Well I felt lousy just like you on Jan 1 and felt crappy for 3 days total then was pretty much over it except for a cough that lasted about a week. On Day #4 though I did lose my sense of smell and taste completely and everything tasted like cardboard to me. I’m happy to say it’s finally starting to come back 16 days later; I’m about 60% there. That’s a good sign as my FIL lost his for 6 full months

We got the mask mandate a few weeks ago. About 50% compliance. I wear my chin diaper and if I see a manager or a customer I slide it up. Also I have two coworkers who are strict mask wearers, I try to keep it up while around them, but inevitably I forget or it moves while I talk.

It's the stupidest shit ever, no one can actually wear one properly, no one has a supply large enough to change them multiple times a day (which you need to do if you want any kind of efficacy), very few have N95s. It's all just some bizarre virtue signaling. Most of the people I work with are all blue collar, the vast, vast majority are just sick of the BS.

I didn't think the CDC came out with an N95/KN95 recommendation...I thought they just said blue "surgical" mask. According to OSHA, N95/KN95 masks must be individually fit-tested and should only be worn in certain time intervals with 30 minute breaks in between. If your company is REQUIRING N95/KN95 masks, I'd suggest opening their eyes to the potential litigation if they don't take the time to fit-test EVERYONE on property.

But knowing you, sir, you already know all this.....

I finally caught and in turn gave it to my wife. I had monoclonal antibodies yesterday so hopefully it helps. Neither myself or my wife are doing bad in fact, if it weren't for the sore throat, this wouldn't be bad.

The most recent Abbott BinaxNow test kit I used was made 12/27/21 and good through 9/12/2022. Says to be stored between 35.6-86 degrees F.

I can’t believe how the CDC and other state and local governments treat vaccinated people like they are 100% safe from anything. My wife and I are fully vaccinated and we both got it. She got it first and passed it to me. As soon as I knew she had it I was not yet showing symptoms but quarantined so I would not put others at risk.

If you look at the CDC website, they say that if you are fully vaccinated and come into close contact with a person known to have COVID, you don’t have to quarantine. They say the same that if you have had COVID in the last 90 days, and come into close contact with a person known to have COVID that you don’t have to quarantine. https://www.cdc.gov/coronaviru...ntine-isolation.html

A person is contagious 1-2 days before showing any symptoms and vaccinated people still get it as do people who have already had it. If I followed the CDC’s advice I would have been going about my routine day infecting people.

My mom has cancer and I don’t want to visit her until I test negative. CDC says you are good to go 5 days after your symptoms started. I am not trusting my mom’s life on them. I understand you can test positive with a lab PCR test for up to 12 weeks, but from what I understand if you test positive on a rapid antigen test, then you are still contagious. I am on day 8 after my symptoms started and I went and got a rapid antigen test done today and I am still positive. I don’t trust anything the CDC says. I am doing what I think is right.

My BIL recently contracted covid. He tried fighting it on his own for a few days and was not improving. He went to the ER and they did some blood test on him and confirmed he had covid and was going to give him some steroids but decided not to and sent him home with some portable O2. My BIL is about 6 foot and over 300 pounds and not in the best shape. It is my opinion that they sent him home without any treatment and knew there was a chance he may not recover because of his weight if he was not treated correctly. The next day he was coughing pretty bad and his O2 levels were dropping. My sister took him back to the same ER and this time they admitted him and transferred him to another local hospital and started treating him with steroids, antibiotics, etc. He stayed in the covid ward for 3 days and Praise God is now home and recovering very well. God Bless !!!

Unfortunately we've seen through this bug that group is a large subset of this country. I simply can't believe there are so many people who just don't want to turn loose of this BS and get back to normal.

February 1st...Mark it. Endemicity.

Starbucks, Omicron and the COVID endemicity endgame: Morning Brief

Friday, January 21, 2021

Coffee giant rips off the band-aid, clearing a path for others

There was no shortage of market-moving headlines in Thursday’s session: Netflix’s subscriber growth outlook let down investors, while battered tech stocks struggled to claw their way out of correction territory. And Peloton shocked the world (and its investors) by halting production on its high-end exercise equipment, according to a bombshell CNBC report.

However, kudos to Yahoo Finance’s Anjalee Khemlani for honing in on what was arguably the day’s most intriguing theme, which also ties into another surprising development that involved Starbucks (SBUX). In the wake of last week’s Supreme Court ruling that partly struck down the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, the coffee giant became the first major company to backtrack on its own requirement that workers be inoculated.

Stay ahead of the market
Khemlani’s conversation with University of Saskatchewan virologist Angela Rasmussen yielded an insight we at the Morning Brief recently explored — namely, what the arrival of the hyper-transmissive Omicron variant means for society, and for a patchwork of restrictions that are becoming more counterproductive by the day.

Employing the concept of “endemicity” — a highfalutin epidemiological term that, in the interest of full disclosure, I literally just learned how to pronounce a few weeks ago — Rasmussen essentially dashed hopes that we can vaccinate our way out of the pandemic.

“I don't think that elimination is going to be possible with this virus,” she told Yahoo Finance Live, as the virus moves from pandemic to endemic. That sentiment was reinforced by the World Health Organization's director of emergency programs, Dr. Mike Ryan.

"We won't end the virus this year, we may never end the virus. These pandemic viruses end up becoming part of the ecosystem," Ryan told the World Economic Forum, Khemlani reported.

Previously, the Morning Brief has argued that whatever specious utility vaccine protocols may have enjoyed early on has been upended by the appearance of a variant that's infected scores of the vaccinated.

Among other things, the debatable efficacy of mandates has isolated the unvaccinated in ways that deprive struggling businesses of patrons, and needed workers of gainful employment. For those reasons, the Czech Republic’s newly-elected government rightly reversed a plan to require vaccinations among citizens there, a move designed to avoid "deepening fissures" among the electorate.

The New York Times hit the nail on the head by highlighting how Starbucks’ move to quickly abandon its employee mandate shows how “retailers and their advocates had been among the most vocal critics of the federal government’s vaccine rule, saying it would have exacerbated their struggles to hire or hold on to workers when millions of unemployed Americans remain on the sidelines of the job market.”

To be certain, the coffee giant and other brands will need to comply with state and federal guidelines, and there’s no indication states like New York and California will back away from their insistence on vaccine restrictions.


Yet both (blue) states have seen an uneven recovery that's sent many citizens in search of greener pastures in (red) areas — mainly in an effort to escape COVID-19 restrictions (alas, a story for another edition). The variant’s rapid spread among both the vaccinated and unvaccinated have shattered the illusion that the virus can somehow be mandated into submission.

And the unexpected spike in the latest jobless claims data served as a timely reminder that even a white-hot jobs market isn’t entirely impervious to uncertainty stemming from COVID-19 — or, for that matter, ill-advised restrictions that block workers from jobs, or force companies to get rid of them if they don’t comply (looking at you, Jamie Dimon).

You are making the assumption that the CDC actually wants this to go away and/or cares about the health and well being of your loved ones.

The CDC has been weaponized by the leftist attackers of liberty in this country, and the globalists giving them their marching orders. Just like the FBI, or the FDA.

Covid-19 vaccines and treatments: we must have raw data, now BMJ 2022 (Published 19 January 2022)

We are left with publications but no access to the underlying data on reasonable request. This is worrying for trial participants, researchers, clinicians, journal editors, policy makers, and the public. The journals that have published these primary studies may argue that they faced an awkward dilemma, caught between making the summary findings available quickly and upholding the best ethical values that support timely access to underlying data. In our view, there is no dilemma; the anonymised individual participant data from clinical trials must be made available for independent scrutiny.

Pharmaceutical companies are reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims. The purpose of regulators is not to dance to the tune of rich global corporations and enrich them further; it is to protect the health of their populations. We need complete data transparency for all studies, we need it in the public interest, and we need it now.

A huge thank you to BMJ (British Medical Journal), who again has shown the bravery and honesty to tell truth to power.

This is what we are up against.
