The vaccine jab is not going as well as the Australian Fed govt hoped.

First, supply issues. Solved.

Then the Pfizer had cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) occurred, with over 50's recipients.

So no more Pfizer for the over 50's.

What about AstraZenca you ask?
AstraZenca is in Aus, only for those over 50.

Cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) were revealed for the AZ vacc.

Understandably, vaccinations have dropped off.
Medical docs and nurses express frustrations, when few show up at one of the many vaccination central hubs in many locations.

And now, Aus Fed govt has signed up for 10 million doses of Moderna.

And discussion of how to get Aussies vaccinated.

Right now, we cannot travel overseas with a vaccination passport. And coming to Aus, you maybe quarantined at own cost, for 2 weeks, even with a vacc passport.

Not at all surprising, fake digital certs are appearing and can be bought.

Not a complaint, just oberservations.

All anyone needs to know is that something like 40-50% of both the CDC and NIH staffs have refused to be vaccinated. I guess they're all anti-vaxers, right?

I need a minor outpatient procedure. An hour tops, so they said. Scheduling nurse sits down with me and our chat went like this:

Yeah, I've an outpatient procedure coming up beginning of next month where I'm going to have to do the same thing.

Not an option in my case. My procedure is quite necessary. Otherwise I wouldn't bother in the first place.

Good luck, Ensigmatic! I hope your procedure goes well. Mine was something I have been dealing with for a while, but minor enough to put off for the foreseeable future.

This is (was) a nice ice cream and burger place up the road from us, decorated like a classic 50’s diner and with a Chevy Bel Air on the roof.

They REALLY stepped in it hard on Wednesday with this post demanding that people “show their papers” if they come in with no mask. Is this even legal for a business to do such a thing?



After a massive amount of blow-back, they hastily issued a lame-ass “apology” trying to minimize the damage they realized they had just done:



Screw them, they’re dead to us now. We would go all the time with our kids but will never set foot in there again.

If they go out of business, perhaps it's deserving.

A quote I heard somewhere comes to mind (tweaked for contextual reality. AFAIK, vaccinations don't help prevent spread, neither do masks):

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary imagined Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - B.Franklin

We'll see this played out over and over in the next few months.

Business or indiviual, if you go demanding to see a persons "papers", you are in for a world of trouble.

I went along with the mask thing, indoors, because it was mandated by Her Majesty, Queen Witchmer. Businesses had little choice. But, now that they're no longer universally required, I won't be doing that anymore.

The signs on Lowe's, Home Depot, and several other places have disappeared entirely. On others they've been replaced by "if you're vaccinated," but how are they going to know?

Saw some silly bimbo walking down the side of a semi-rural road, yesterday, nobody anywhere within sight, in sunny, 85°F weather, wearing a freaking mask

People like that should be required to wear a big, scarlet S on their chest so they can be readily-identified after the whole mask thing is over.

Another idiot reporter who cant read and doesnt check her facts. According to Iowa Dept of Public Health, there were 41 positive tests on Thursday, not 3500. There were 3342 for the preceding 14 DAYS!

Iowa Gov. Reynolds prohibits K-12 schools from mandating masks, effective immediately

By Erin Murphy
May 20, 2021


COVID-19 activity has plummeted in Iowa since the deadly winter surge, but the virus is still spreading in the state and new variants continue to emerge. On Thursday, more than 3,500 new cases were recorded, according to state public health data.

Don't want to wear a mask to protest the mask policy? Get arrested!

New Hampshire Police Arrest Maskless Parents Attempting to Confront School Board – Following Arrests Board Cancels Meeting To Avoid Parents

It is interesting -some would say disturbing- to watch law enforcement arrest people for not violating laws. The requirement to wear a mask is a local school board policy, created by random fiat, not a law. The arrested maskless parents were proactively accused of ‘disturbing the peace’, before any disturbance could be identified.



PLAISTOW — Tempers flared at Thursday night’s Timberlane Regional School Board meeting after a Sunday school teacher was arrested moments after she and several other unmasked attendees showed up to demand an end to a school mask mandate.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said that about 40 percent of his agency’s employees have not received the COVID-19 vaccine, while a deputy at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the agency is reporting similar numbers.

Rep. Jim Jordan nails it.
Where did this thing (COVID) start?
Why don’t Democrats in Congress want to know.
Why doesn’t the Select Committee on Covid want to know.
Why doesn’t Pelosi want to know.
Why doesn’t Fauci want to know.



HHS Assistant Secretary Adm. Brett Giroir stated that he believes the Wuhan Institute of Virology is “the most likely origin” of the coronavirus, and that the circumstantial evidence in favor of that theory is “overwhelming and the lack of another explanation is equally overwhelming.”

That article doesn't mention anyone refusing to get vaccinated. It it's quite possible that 40% of the employees are in their 20's, 30's, or 40's or they don't have any preexisting conditions therefore there's no reason for them to get vaccinated.

Why are those people being pressured to be vaccinated if there’s no reason for them to be vaccinated? At this point in the USA, only those resisting C19 vaccination remain unvaccinated. Myself included.

This is anecdotal but still very suggestive to me.

I go in for some health care periodically. I'm friendly with the staff. On a recent visit, they were encouraging me to not get any wuflu vaccine. They've had a number of their patients have severe conditions that they are attributing to the vaccines. While no scientific causal relationship has been established, it seems beyond mere coincidence given the incident rates and medical histories. This clinic treats chronic conditions so the patients are regularly seen.

I have no idea what percentage of their patients got the vaccine and how many had reactions. But it's a small clinic and it's surprising to me if they had one patient w/ adverse effects, let alone the dozen or so they talked about.

Not just blood clots and strokes, but also something that causes severe pain (PMR?) - several patients with no prior history. Multiple instances of shingles - could be coincidental but seems weird. A cardiologist wrote up something and sent it to big pharma which was basically ignored. Medical practitioners, it seems, are largely keeping silent when they observe reactions that may be attributable to the vaccines; they are largely not getting the vaccine around here.

If I would to wildly guess on incident rate based on this clinic, I'd say perhaps 2-10%. This seems significant given the severity of the reactions.

The bad stuff we're speculating - I think it's only the tip of the iceberg.
