Couple years ago, when the mask nonsense was just getting rolling, I had to go to the Credit Union for a problem-solving meeting.

I was sitting at a desk with the rep and I started laughing. She asked what was funny. I said, "A year ago, if I had come in here with a mask, y'all would have called the cops. Today, if I tried to come in without a mask you'll call the cops. The times, they be a-changing."

For me, it puts into question their sanity and judgement.

I still see people wearing them, still see a lot of people wearing them when they are the only person in the vehicle.

Just saw a guy at the gas pump wearing a mask while he was outside pumping gas. He drove there alone.

Psy-Ops is a VERY powerful weapon indeed! Isn’t it?

We have doctors here, so maybe they can shed some light on the medical buildings still requiring masks.

I was told that the feds still requiring masking as part of their requirements when it comes to Medicare/Medicaid. Since most of these places accept those federal dollars, they have to jump through those federal hoops.

Which goes back to two earlier questions: Do they care about your best interests? No, they care about their best financial interests. Does it call into question their competence? Not their financial competency.

This weekend, the Epoch Times interviewed insurance analyst Josh Stirling on its long-form video program “American Thought Leaders.” In the clip below, you’ll hear analyst Stirling describing his analysis of mortality data by geographic area, in which he found a distinct statistical correlation between rates of vaccine uptake and excess deaths.

Stirling summarized his conclusion saying, “the more doses on average you have in a region within the United States, the bigger increase increase in mortality that region has had in 2022 when compared to 2021.” He said the data showed a +7% increase in risk of death for each shot taken, so that a person who took five shots would have a +35% risk of dying compared to an unvaccinated person.

@VigilantFox
Top Insurance Analyst Finds a 7% Increase In Aggregate Mortality for Each C19 Dose Received

Josh Stirling: "The more doses ... you have in a [US] region ... the bigger increase in mortality ..."

"If you're over the age of 50, and you took all 5 doses, that'd be a 35% increase."… https://t.co/kyDSySB3Yx

Stirling said they analyzed the data several different ways, and consistently got the same result:

“It exactly confirms the conclusion coming out of the UK data, it’s a different way of doing it, it’s a totally different data set, but ultimately it leads to a very similar mathematical conclusion. Which is a really unfortunate one, because, you know, obviously, hundreds of millions of us have — either we personally or our friends and family, and all of society — now have to deal with all of these consequences.”

Though his conclusions were troubling, the data analyst had an optimistic take: having identified the problem we can work on solutions. I’m an optimist too, but Josh forgot that not everyone accepts there is a problem. Not yet.

But we’re getting there.

Around here, it simply depends on where you go...Every office/facility seems to have it's own individual policy. Some don't require masks at all and there isn't even any signage on the subject, while others not only require it, but the staff is belligerent about chastising anyone that does not display absolute professional-level mask wearing prowess. Shockingly, my sons Orthodontist office, still has staff in the vestibule taking temperatures and interviewing 'patients' prior to entering to office. That practice used to be our Family Dentist too, but NOT ANY MORE!

On the opposite end on the spectrum, an Orthopedic Surgeon Practice associated with a large local hospital displays signs that Masks are not only NOT required, but on request all staff you interact with will wear one if you so desire.

In San Francisco, if you don't wear a mask, they can put you in prison
The good news is that after they put you in prison, you aren't required to wear a mask.

On February 28, 2023, Susan Philip, MD, MPH, Health Officer of the City and County of San Francisco, issued this order requiring people who work in healthcare and in jails to be vaccinated and wear a mask at all times when in a room with other people.



Violation of or failure to comply with this Order is a misdemeanor punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both.

If you don’t get vaccinated and wear a mask, you could be put in prison.

Of course, everyone knows now that:

Masks don’t work. In the Bangladesh trial, for example, purple cloth masks were indistinguishable from the placebo.

Vaccines are much more likely to kill you than save you and they definitely increase your risk of getting COVID

So this order by Susan Philip is nonsensical. It’s counter-productive.

She should be fired.

Yes. But let the esteemed doctors in health care either live with the consequences of their actions or finally stand for truth and fight back. Of course, the other possibility is that they completely agree with the efficacy and objectives of this order. Then I'd be looking for a different (ie - competent) doctor.

”If it’s Covid, Paxlovid”

Just saw the ad on TV. What a load of horse shit! Of course there’s a list of precautions for THIS bullshit, but not a PEEP about some Covid “vaccination” clot shot that can, and IS, causing DEATH.

All I can say my daughter had a baby in Mechanicsville Va on Feburary 16th.
St. Marys.
No masks required.

Next up, the Wall Street Journal published an obnoxious op-ed yesterday headed, “Why Scientists Got the Covid Lab Leak Wrong.” The subheadline delivered the revolting and pathetic attempt at some kind of good excuse: “We’re only human, and we’re as susceptible as everybody else to cognitive biases and self-interest.”

Oh, well, okay then.

They have to say SOMETHING. Here’s the problem. The government-approved “lab leak” narrative rapidly shifted without any warning, and in doing so it ran a lot of “experts” right onto the shoals, left high and dry, experts who’d fallen all over themselves supporting the old narrative through thick and thin.

Bio-development expert Tim Trehan wrote the apology op-ed. His credentials are that he wrote a 2017 Nature article prophetically warning about sloppy biolab conditions in China, so they expect us to trust him. I mean, he has every right to be gloating about having been right, but instead he’s graciously calling for amnesty for all the other scientists who got it wrong. And right at the moment, Google is helpfully serving up Tim’s 2017 article right at the top of the search results, in case you never heard of him.

In his WSJ article, Trehan suggests several reasonable-sounding explanations for why, even after emerging evidence supporting a lab leak, the MAJORITY of experts still doubled-down, continued pushing the natural origins narrative, and did their utmost best to suppress and cancel other scientists with whom they disagreed.

Trehan readily admits all of that happened.

But then Trehan rhetorically shrugged his shoulders and quite broad-mindedly explained: “That’s just science!” He pointed out scientists are only humans after all, not lizard people (probably), and since they are humans, scientists have biases and conflicts of interest and politics and tribes and they lust for money and power just like everybody else does.

So be reasonable. Don’t expect scientists to be perfect or anything.

Here’s how Trehan wrapped up his nauseating apologia:

I am not suggesting that scientists consciously decided to thwart the truth. These processes can be insidious and subconscious. But you don’t have to posit conspiracy theories to explain the rush by the science establishment to exclude a lab-leak explanation to Covid. You merely have to admit that scientists are human.

Thanks, but no thanks. I’m not buying any of it. It’s hogwash, rubbish, and utter nonsense. Why? Because during the pandemic, when all this broad-mindedness could have been helpful, when it would have counted for something, they never said “scientists are human.” They never said “scientists make mistakes.” They never said “scientists have biases.”

Nope. It doesn’t count now. You should have said that stuff three years ago.

In fact, they said the exact opposite. “FOLLOW THE SCIENCE,” they said. “TRUST THE EXPERTS,” they said. “DON’T BE A SCIENCE DENIER,” they said.

Somebody please explain to me how “don’t be a science denier” is AT ALL consistent with “scientists are only biased humans who sometimes make mistakes (en masse).” What a crock.

The “experts are infallible” narrative is sinking ...

former Centers for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield

Q: Has gain-of-function stopped any pandemic in your opinion?

Redfield: "No. On the contrary, I think it probably caused the greatest pandemic our world has seen"

Back in early 2020 in the first stages of the pandemic, Redfield publicly stated he believed the virus escaped from a lab. Despite his assertion being correct and now backed by the FBI and Department of Energy, he received death threats. He was also cut out of meetings with then National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and former Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute Francis Collins.

The UK Sun ran a baffling story yesterday headlined, “DEATH RIDDLE: Mystery as Australians Dying at Levels Not Seen in 80 Years – And UK Might Be Seeing Same Phenomenon.”

Australia’s 2022 death figures clocked in at over 174,000 deaths, which was 12% over already high predictions. According to the Sun’s sources, these 2022 figures — a year after vaccines hit the scenes — represent one of the highest excess death levels Down Under in 80 years.

Only about 10K of those were recorded as covid deaths. Guess where the majority of deaths clustered: mostly heart disease and cancer.

It’s a mystery! A mystery wrapped in a Fauci-shaped riddle and buried under a pharmaceutical enigma. They’ll probably never figure it out. It’s just TOO HARD. They used all their brainpower figuring out covid and how to respond to it, which never gave them a single doubt. Everything was totally clear until about ten minutes ago.

The single expert that the Sun consulted for the story speculated wildly about many ways that the excess deaths could possibly be linked to covid infections, given that so many people have now been infected. Undiscussed was any other common experience that the dying may have had, any other shared variable. I don’t know, maybe some kind of medical treatment or something. Or, and I really think this could be it: fresh air.

And as the article noted, preliminary data in the UK appears very similar to what the Australians are seeing.

Two weeks ago, the New Zealand Herald ran an eerily similar story headlined, “New Zealand Records Biggest Increase In Registered Deaths In 100 Years.”

In 2022, New Zealand’s death figures broke a hundred-year record. The last time there was this much excess death was in 1918, during the Spanish Flu. 2022’s excess mortality was about 11% higher than 2021 — remarkably close to Australia’s figure.

Curiously, during the first two years of the pandemic, New Zealand did not record any excess mortality. The country’s significant mortality first started in 2022 — after the jab rollout — although an expert cited for the article speculated that the appearance of the Omicron variant — which was LESS lethal everywhere else — might have somehow been more deadly in New Zealand.

Maybe. Or maybe something ELSE happened in 2022 that was common to dying Kiwis and also to dying Australians. Maybe they should look for something like that.

Looks like ol’ Gavin has tested positive again; last time was May, less than a year ago. “Vaccinated” and boosted of course. Cue him telling everyone “how lucky he was to be “vaccinated” so the symptoms weren’t severe”.

California Governor Gavin Newsom tests positive for COVID-19 days after return from ‘personal trip’

The office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday night.

Newsom is experiencing mild symptoms, according to FOX 2 Oakland.

Further details on his condition were not immediately available, but it was noted that his wife tested negative.

The governor will work remotely, FOX 2 reported, and he will self-isolate in accordance with the current California Department of Public Health guidelines, which recommend at least five days.

CDPH says isolation can end after the fifth day with a combination of a negative test and no symptoms, though masks are required in indoor settings for 10 days.

This is the governor’s second time to test positive for the disease as he also tested positive last May.

Newsom’s diagnosis comes just days after he returned to the state Sunday night following a “personal trip” to Mexico’s Baja California – a decision that brought him a lot of criticism as many Californians were impacted by historic winter storms that first arrived Feb. 21.

As of Thursday morning, over 12,000 residents were still without power, according to PowerOutage.us.

Those affected are mostly in Nevada County.

The Democratic governor is scheduled to embark on his State of the State tour on Monday. As of Wednesday night, the tour is still on, California media outlets reported.

The Los Angeles Times added that Newsom still plans to participate in a virtual news conference Thursday with California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta.

Newsom ended California’s COVID-19 State of Emergency on Feb. 28 nearly three years after the proclamation was issued.

Leftist hack. She should spend the next decade being confronted with the truth she sought to suppress with her Goddamned half-wit view of the world.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace insisted COVID originating in Wuhan lab was ‘conspiracy theory’

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace once called the COVID lab leak theory a "conspiracy theory" but has failed to inform viewers that the notion is now considered the likely cause of the pandemic by government voices she normally reveres....

Is/was there a video at the link? Maybe just my computer but all I see is a blank screen.

Video comes up for me

The problem wasn't the development of an experimental "vaccine". The BIG problem was the idea that it could be mandated.

The mandates are all violations of the individual rights reserved to all Americans by the individuals who created the Constitution, in which they provided that the individual states and the central, federal government, were given LIMITED rights, and provided that all other not specified rights, whether enumerated or not, were reserved to them and to us, the individual human beings who are their descendants.

Read the Constitution, and you will see that neither the states nor the federal government were given the right to make health or medical decisions for individuals. That is the basis for the concept that people's personal matters are private matters, not public matters, and hence not the subject for governmental control.

If individuals, not governments, have the right to control personal matters, then another way of expressing that is to say that individuals have a right to privacy. That is why, although the word "privacy" does not appear in the Constitution, such a right is implicit in a document that places the rights of individuals outside and beyond the Constitutional power of control given by we, The People, to the state and central governments that we, the People, created.

Only leaders who are violating their oaths ignore laws that are designed to protect their followers' individual rights. Only individuals who do not support the Constitution support such leaders.

This is interesting news; an additional vector for Covid to spread in the Big Apple. Maybe now they can stop all their nonsense- mandatory “vaccination”, talk of masks, all of it since it is NEVER going away and hiding from it is no longer a viable option. That, or either “vaccinate”, or kill all the rats…

NYC rats carry COVID-19: ‘Could pose a risk to humans,’ new study says

Maybe the rats do run this city.

New York City rodents can carry the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 – and researchers fear it could be transmitted to humans, according to a new study.

The new research, published Thursday in the American Society for Microbiology “mBio,” determined that the rats could be infected with the Alpha, Delta and Omicron variants.

“Our findings highlight the need for further monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in rat populations for potential secondary zoonotic transmission to humans,” Dr. Henry Wan, the study’s principal investigator, said in a statement.

“Overall, our work in this space shows that animals can play a role in pandemics that impact humans, and it’s important that we continue to increase our understanding so we can protect both human and animal health,” added Dr. Wan, who also serves as a professor and the director for the University of Missouri’s Center for Influenza and Emerging Infectious Diseases.

The initial sample collection occurred in the fall of 2021 in coordination with the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Researchers collected samples from 79 Norway rats in the Big Apple to “look for evidence” of COVID-19 transmission.

While only 13 tested positive for the virus, the researchers touted the study as the first of its kind to analyze US rodent infections. But they didn’t stop there – scientists also conducted a “virus challenge study” that determined which specific variants could infect the vermin.

The new study results “highlight the need for further monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in rat populations to determine if the virus is circulating in the animals and evolving into new strains that could pose a risk to humans,” Dr. Wan warned, echoing the findings of past studies.

The furry critters of “pizza rat” fame have become both a Manhattan staple and a pesky nuisance, as fed-up New Yorkers call on city officials to evict the vermin.

Mayor Eric Adams declared a war on rats last year as the vermin sightings soared into the thousands.

Adopting the slogan, “The rats don’t run this city. We do,” the city’s officials are cracking down on the rodent populations, calling on for-hire Rat Czars and introducing new regulations.

In addition to Times Square garbage bins, Adams also signed legislation that would force landlords to purchase rat-proof garbage bins if they can’t prevent the pests from rummaging through trash bags.

Has anyone ever heard about, and I mean EVER, The National Blood Clot Alliance?!

I was driving today and heard a PSA on my local radio station (waeb) informing the audience that 1 in 6 people will develop ‘blood clots’ which could be very serious.

The ad then made mention of this website to get more information -

https://www.stoptheclot.org/

And guess what?!

March is Blood Clot Awareness Month!

Have I simply been oblivious to this apparently wide-spread medical malady or is this some fucking evil plan to ‘normalize’ yet ANOTHER deadly side effect of the “Safe and Effect”(tm) Covid Vaccine(pp)?

I recall that not too long ago, a year maybe, an article at Treehouse which reported that pfizer or another big pharma company or maybe FBG (as in bill gates) himself was buying up smaller drug companies that specialized in developing medicines to treat blood clot conditions.

This is pure unadulterated evil.

Just like tptb telling us that young adults, mostly male, have always had higher rates of myocarditis and pericarditis and just dropping dead while playing sports or sleeping, but we are just ‘more aware of it happening now’.

FUBAR!
