Saw on Watters news last night that they are submitting that Fauci's position be done away with and appoint a 3member panel to replace the posting now held by the fehrer.

All the idiocy of Covid and vaccine mandates in one neat package

An unvaccinated Kyrie Irving can sit courtside but isn't allowed to play basketball; does this mean the earth is flat?

Alex Berenson

On Sunday, Kyrie Irving decided to watch a basketball game in Brooklyn.

And all heck broke loose.

In case you don’t know, Irving plays basketball for the Brooklyn Nets (my favorite team, from back when their home was a parking lot in New Jersey). He’s very good. He has maybe the best “handle” - ability to dribble - in the world.

Irving is also an odd duck. He made news in 2018 for saying he thought the earth might be flat.

Last year Irving decided he needed time off mid-season because he was upset about police shootings of African-Americans. By all accounts, his feelings were genuine. Still, most of us would get a one-way ride to the unemployment office if we didn’t show for work because of our feelings, however genuine. Having the world’s best handle has its privileges.

This season, Irving has been in the news for a different reason, his refusal to be jabbed with mRNA.

As a fellow pureblood, I am on Irving’s side. And unlike Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Irving owned his choice. He didn’t say he was “immunized” or “partially hydrogenated” or “league MVP so I can do what I want.”

No, Kyrie said he wasn’t vaccinated and wasn’t getting vaccinated. The end.

Only it wasn’t. The NBA and its players had agreed Covid shots would not be mandatory (professional athletes have unions nearly as strong as teachers), but New York City had other ideas.

In September, as part of his never-ending quest to ruin New York, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio required Covid jabs for adults going to indoor venues like restaurants or gyms. Including Barclays Center, where the Nets play. Then, in December, de Blasio extended the mandate to all private workplaces.

The mandates meant that Irving couldn’t play basketball at Barclays. He was allowed to play outside New York, but in October the Nets said they wouldn’t let him do that either if he couldn’t play at home.

Irving was due to make $35 million this season, just shy of $400,000 a game (which made him only the third-highest paid player on the Nets, amazing but true). Thus, every home game he missed cost him $400,000.

And I thought I was committed to staying unvaccinated. Though the team still had to pay Irving for the road games.

Kyrie’s stance brought him a lot of heat from the ESPNs of the world. Sports talk show hosts have been among the loudest screechers for Team Apocalypse. I thought they were men who liked sports, but apparently not. They were desperate to see the college football season canceled in 2020, and their disappointment when the games proceeded without dozens of Covid deaths was palpable. They have also resolutely refused to say a word about athletes who have heart problems after getting mRNA shots.

But Kyrie stayed firm. Dude said the world might be flat! He doesn’t care what some chubby middle-aged radio announcer thinks. So the season started without him.

The first crack in this standoff came in December, when the Nets said they would start playing Kyrie on the road.

Why? Because so many of their vaccinated players were infected with Omicron and missing games.

—

Yes, the Nets needed to suit up their unvaccinated player because their vaccinated ones had Covid.

Because vaccines work!

Then, in late February, Eric Adams, New York’s new mayor, made a partial concession to reality and rolled back the jab mandates for indoor spaces. (The mandates had worked so well that New York had far more Covid infections than ever before this winter.)

Now anyone, vaccinated or not, can watch a game at Barclays.

But the city’s workplace mandate remains in place, so Irving still can’t play. By the way, the workplace mandate does not and has not ever applied to visiting players. Trust The Science!

This combination of rules means that Kyrie Irving is the only person in the world who faces any sanction at Barclays Center for refusing to take an mRNA shot.

On Sunday, Irving decided to demonstrate the absurdity of the situation in the simplest possible way. He bought himself a courtside ticket for Brooklyn’s game against the New York Knicks, the city’s other and lesser professional basketball team.

Irving brings his unvaccinated cooties to Barclays:



Irving even wound up going into the locker room with his teammates - but as a spectator (safe!) and not a player (dangerous!).

If Irving intended to demonstrate the idiocy of the workplace mandate, he succeeded. At a press conference after the game, Kevin Durant, the top player on the Nets, called the rule “stupid” and added - in reference to Mayor Adams - “Eric, dude, you gotta figure this out.”

Durant’s honesty set off a new round of whining from the sports-talk screechers - how dare he call this absurd rule absurd! The emperor is fully dressed, everyone can see that! - and by Monday Durant had to issue a statement semi-apologizing for telling the truth.

As of now, the useless workplace mandate remains in place. And Irving remains welcome to buy a courtside seat anytime to root for the team he can’t play for.

Study of 4th COVID vaccine shot shows only marginal efficacy

Initial spike in antibodies following shot did not translate into significantly greater protection, even after only a month.

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/324120

Several months into a new trial of the fourth dose of COVID vaccine at Sheba Medical Center, Professor Gili Regev-Yochai, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases, has released interim results indicating that the "second booster shot" is of limited efficacy.

Sheba Medical Center commenced the first trial of the fourth COVID shot in the world at the end of last year, studying the results of serological testing and immunity of the largest such cohort in the world – around 6,000 people – including 270 healthcare workers, separating some into a control group who received only three shots and whose serological levels had already dropped to below 700.

A month after the trial group received the fourth dose of vaccine, 19 percent of them had contracted COVID (Omicron variant), as compared to 25 percent of the control group.

Among those who contracted COVID, 15 percent of the trial group had symptoms as opposed to around 36 percent of those who only received three doses of vaccine.

Unlike many other trials, the Sheba trial also studied the Moderna vaccine and found very similar results to those from the Pfizer vaccine.

Commenting on the results, Prof. Regev-Yochai said, "With regard to the efficacy of the fourth vaccine, either Pfizer or Moderna, we found that infection rates in the trial group were only marginally lower than those in the control group. A third dose is important for those who have never contracted COVID, and a fourth dose appears to be important for those in a high-risk category for COVID complications."

The Health Ministry made the decision to begin offering a fourth vaccine dose at the end of December, 2021, before the first results emerged from the Sheba study, making Israel the first country in the world to offer a second booster shot. A week later, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett visited Sheba Medical Center and was informed of the first interim results of the trial.

"The initial study regarding the fourth dose shows that within about a week of receiving it there is an almost 5-fold increase in the number of antibodies in the blood," Bennett said. "Apparently, this will demonstrate a much higher level of protection."

The never ending treadmill. They want people stuck in the “booster” cycle. As many as possible, as often as possible. Never mind any potential side effects or loss of natural immunity- that which has undeniably proven lasting immunity. There is nothing scientific about the “science” in what these charlatans are practicing.

Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be one yet, but here is what it is.

Daft Punk you say...

Mini-Mengele can go intercourse himself.

My wife and I canceled our trip to Germany (we were supposed to leave next week) mainly because of their insistence on complying with being experimented on.

The war in Ukraine didnt do anything to change our minds either.

Screw you, you little turd

Health dictator Anthony Fauci declared Monday that Americans will need to take more COVID vaccines, just a day after the CEO of Pfizer proclaimed that a fourth shot is needed immediately.

The Knoxville News reported last week that 28-year old Knoxville teacher Eric Robertson died “suddenly and unexpectedly” Monday night while playing basketball. I guess it WAS unexpected or he wouldn’t have been playing basketball, would he?

Robertson was a well-liked, happy and optimistic teacher. “He had a wonderful smile, that’s the thing that I think all of us came back to,” Powell High School principal Chad Smith said. “He always would talk to anyone and everyone and it’s the smile. He reached students in ways that others could not.”

No word on a cause of death. Maybe it was too cold. Or maybe he ate too much junk food. Bad genetics. No way to tell, really. It’s affecting younger and younger people these days. It’s definitely not the safe and effective vaccine.

BBC News reported yesterday that a year-long official investigation has finally found that 34-year-old Kim Lockwood of South Yorkshire died from a catastrophic brain bleed caused by her safe and effective Covid vaccine. The official diagnosis was Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia, and her death was recorded as an unlucky accident, or “misadventure” as the brits say.

In fact, South Yorkshire Coroner Nicola Mundy was quoted saying, Mrs Lockwood had been “extremely unlucky”. You don’t say! That’s exactly what I’VE been doing for the last year; I’ve been trying to avoid becoming unlucky like Mrs Lockwood.

Lockwood was also unlucky in that she lives in a country with socialized healthcare, as the investigation noted that (1) she initially had to leave the ER because the wait was too long and she wasn’t properly triaged, (2) although should could not complete a full sentence and was throwing up from her headaches, she was never given an MRI, and (3) the hospital did not provide pain management although Lockwood’s final words were the pain from the “headache is actually killing me.”

So. Let’s NOT do the single-payer thing, mmmkay? Is it too much to ask?

The BBC article ends saying “the government has repeatedly stated that the benefits of vaccines outweigh the risks in the majority of people.” Hmm. So, I might get a virus with a 99.97% survival rate, or take the shot and possibly die in agony. How do you calculate odds like that? Do you think Kim Lockwood would agree the benefits outweigh the risks? Wish I could ask her.

Then, why have you posted this in this thread? Is there any need to tell you that younger people can and do die suddenly, for a host of reasons?

If what we believe about the vaccine is true, there's no need for this kind of thing. Let's leave this kind of stuff for those who have no interest in the truth.

Yes, younger people can and do die suddenly.
But an 84% increase among young people?

Shouldn't that be investigated? If only we had some big, well funded government agency or bureau that was interested. The CDC is hiding from its own data.

Ed Dowd: "Millennial age group, 25 to 44 experienced an 84% increase in excess mortality"
"It’s the worst-ever excess mortality, I think, in history." Can you guess what caused it? I think I know...



https://stevekirsch.substack.c...-age-group-25-to?s=r

chellim, don't post this kind of thing in this thread, without any evidence.

Clear?

In my own defense: The second post is completely evidence based. Ed Dowd and the insurance companies are basing their analysis on CDC data.

The first post is somewhat conjecture, with regard to Knoxville teacher Eric Robertson, but with regard to Kim Lockwood of South Yorkshire it is based on a year-long official investigation and an official diagnosis of Vaccine-Induced Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia.
The point being that we should do more investigation of these cases here in the US. Instead, we ignore them.
Jeff Childers is a good attorney who doesn't make unsubstantiated accusations but does draw parallels.

But, I understand. More evidence, less conjecture.

Try this: "OK"

OK

OK back on track here. Legit question. I heard the other day that the senate voted to end mask mandate. I dont really understand this process.

Why is the senate voting at all.

Doesn't a bill go to congress first then to senate to be voted on?

What effect does this have where the CDC I am assuming is under executive branch anyway.

Can someone clarify this process for me?

I believe only bills related to spending have to originate in the House.

"largely symbolic" ...

The Senate backed legislation to end the federal mask mandate on planes and transit in a largely symbolic vote that highlights GOP opposition to White House pandemic policies.

The measure would use the Congressional Review Act, which allows Congress to try to halt federal agencies’ rules through expedited procedures. The Senate vote required a simple majority to pass, but will likely be defeated in the House if it came to a vote. The White House has also pledged to veto it if it does pass.

The vote follows similar Senate resolutions to end the Covid-19 public health emergency (S. J. Res. 38), and the vaccine requirement for health-care workers (S. J. Res. 32), highlighting the partisan divisions over how to respond to the pandemic.
