Absolutely stupid on steroids...again. By the time this appeal is heard, the entire country, with the exception of a couple places of pure stupidity, will be totally mask free.

Damn. Room temperature IQ. So blinded from being a true believer, she can't even see an obvious joke.

Here's the dimwit's article she filed today about it. BTW, this rocket surgeon graduated from Harvard, which should tell you quite a bit about Harvard:

Halfway into her flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles Monday night, Brooke Tansley heard the pilot’s voice pipe up through the public address system, apologizing for the interruption.

“You’re going to be very excited to hear this news,” she recalled him saying. The Transportation Security Administration was no longer requiring masks on planes, and passengers were free to take them off if they’d like. The announcement was met with a smattering of claps and some jubilant cheers, and about a third of the people aboard immediately peeled off their masks, Ms. Tansley said.

For some travelers, Monday evening’s announcement from the T.S.A. that it would stop enforcing a mask mandate after a federal judge in Florida struck down the requirement came as they were already on their way — in airport terminals, on the tarmac or even in the air.

Many passengers greeted the news with applause and cheers, as seen in videos on social media. One took a celebratory selfie, with most fellow passengers in wide, maskless grins. A pilot told those aboard his flight: “Congratulations.”

Not all flights appeared to have immediately done away with the mask requirement. At least one person wrote on Twitter that a flight attendant told him masks had to stay on.

For her part, Ms. Tansley felt a jolt of fear and alarm. She was with her two children, a 4-year-old and an 8-month-old, both too young to be vaccinated, the baby too young for a mask. She was on her way to a work meeting involving a colleague with a rare autoimmune disease, and her family had undergone P.C.R. tests because they were worried about potentially infecting him.

“I was scared — all I could do was hope it’s going to be OK,” she said. “There wasn’t any other option.”

Ms. Tansley said her family hadn’t been on a flight since Christmas 2019 out of concern about the virus. She has asthma, and said she wasn’t sure whether she would go ahead with her work meetings, or what her family would do about their return flight home on April 25.

“It’s not that the mask mandate has changed that upset me, it’s that we boarded the plane under one set of rules, and made a decision as a family and as a work group,” said Ms. Tansley, a television producer and former Broadway performer. “The decision was made for us midflight.”

Scott Hechinger, a lawyer, was waiting for his delayed flight to New York at a crowded terminal in West Palm Beach, Fla., when the announcement came that the mandate had been lifted and passengers were free to board their flights without masks.

The terminal erupted in a loud, sustained cheer, and about half the travelers took off their masks, he said.

“For this announcement to happen literally minutes before we got in the plane made me feel very uncomfortable,” Mr. Hechinger wrote in a text message. On his flight, about 75 percent were unmasked, he said.

He said he worried about his wife and 6-year-old son, who were in the air on a separate flight en route to Los Angeles.

“It hit me that my wife and young son would also likely get this announcement midflight and be more exposed than usual,” he wrote. “I’m upset, uncomfortable, and frustrated.”

The Shots Have Failed, So Let’s Amp Up Global Vaccination Rates!

African countries have done well during the pandemic without high rates of vaccination. The Biden regime won’t stand for that.

By Debra Heine
April 19, 2022

The White House on Monday announced a second global COVID-19 summit to discuss how to bolster vaccination rates internationally, despite data from around the world showing the mRNA and adenovirus-vector vaccines do not stop the spread of the virus, and appear to be associated with a higher rate of non-COVID deaths.

In a joint statement with Belize, Germany, Indonesia, and Senegal, the White House said the purpose of the summit, which is scheduled to be held virtually on May 12, will be to “redouble our collective efforts to end the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future health threats.”

“The emergence and spread of new variants, like Omicron, have reinforced the need for a strategy aimed at controlling Covid-19 worldwide. Together, we can mitigate the impact of Covid-19 and protect those at the highest risk with vaccinations, testing, and treatments,” the statement said. “We know we must prepare now to build, sustain, and finance the global capacity we need, not only for emerging Covid-19 variants, but also future health crises.”

The summit originally was scheduled for March but was pushed to April after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and because the administration was still working with Congress to secure funding “for millions of people in low- and middle-income countries,” Politico reported. The event was reportedly postponed again on April 5 after Congress voted down the $19 billion in additional funding USAID requested to support its efforts to ramp up vaccination rates in 11 low-income African countries through the end of the year.

This push to vaccinate low-income African countries makes little sense in the face of data that show unvaccinated African countries doing much better with COVID than heavily vaccinated countries.

For instance, in “low-income” Nigeria (population 206 million), only 6.5 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, yet the country has had only 3,143 COVID deaths compared to 987,000 deaths in the heavily vaccinated United States. In Cameroon (population 26.55 million), only 1,927 people have died of the virus. Low COVID fatality rates, in fact, are typical throughout Africa, even though rates of infection have been high.

A recent WHO study found that true infections in Africa were 97 percent greater than initially recorded, which means that 65 percent of the entire continent has already been infected. The authors of the study estimated that the infection rate had reached 76 percent in West Africa by the end of the third quarter of 2021, before Omicron hit.

“Despite repeated warnings from WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that the coronavirus would devastate Africa, the continent has been among the least affected by the pandemic,” the Associated Press couldn’t help but notice.

To explain the disparity, the WHO pointed out that Africans tend to have fewer comorbidities than people in other nations.

In its new analysis, WHO said the milder COVID-19 cases seen in Africa were attributable in part to the continent’s much smaller proportion of people with underlying risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

Another factor could be the antiparasitic and antiviral drug Ivermectin. Mortality was significantly lower in African countries that participated in an intensive campaign for Ivermectin use to to control onchocerciasis, also known as river blindness.

New Zealand (population 5 million) was doing similarly well for the first two years of the pandemic amid draconian lockdown policies. But things changed for the island nation after its mass vaccination campaign, as noted by The Blaze‘s Daniel Horowitz:

According to the NZ ministry of health, every age bracket has achieved higher than a 90% vaccination rate except for those ages 5-11. Also, more than half of all adults, especially those in vulnerable categories, have boosters.

Thus, New Zealand lived out the COVID bio-state dream. The population fully locked down until three doses were available. Thus, they should be experiencing no COVID, and certainly no COVID deaths, right? Well, in fact, New Zealand experienced nearly all of its deaths precisely after all of this was accomplished in March 2022! And with the mildest of variants!

The May 12 summit, the White House statement said, will focus on several areas and “place an emphasis on supporting locally-led solutions to both immediate and long-term challenges.”

But the verdict on the worldwide mass vaccination campaign is in already.

COVID rates have soared since Biden convened the first global COVID-19 summit in September, as the Delta and Omicron variants proved to be impervious to the vaccines.

And the data in country after country show huge increases in COVID cases where most people are fully vaccinated, along with unacceptable levels of vaccine injuries and deaths.

The shots have failed.

So naturally, the Biden regime is repeating and reinforcing its global mass vaccination agenda.

The White House called on “world leaders, members of civil society, non-governmental organizations, philanthropists, and the private sector to make new commitments and bring solutions to vaccinate the world, save lives now, and build better health security—for everyone, everywhere.”

At the top of the list of solutions is “getting shots into arms.”

If anyone ever wondered, this mask insanity has shown us exactly which people in our society are the most gullible, weak minded, obedient and just plain stupid. Of course, social media does a good job of that too.

Paul Krugman has always been a douche bag.
He makes a lot of predictions, all of them wrong.

Maybe it's time to repost this so it can be shared with all the 'Science Deniers' out there losing their minds right now...

Here's a middle school level science experiment demonstrating the effectiveness of masks:



Fun Fact: The Vape Droplet particles have a median diameter that's 2-3 times the size of the Coronavirus!

Of course, ANYONE who's ever worn glasses with a mask 'should' already know that Masks Don't Work! Roll Eyes

It's worse than that even...
The money goes to Pfizer and Moderna (a portion of which gets recycled to Democrat campaigns) and the shots go into the arms of people who don't need or want them.

Why do we want the shots in their arms? Eliminate the control group. Almost none of them have been vaccinated, yet they have almost no Covid problem. What have they used in Africa? Ivermectin!
