His royal highness Fauci himself says that the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid or spreading it so how in the fuck does this 'protect' anyone other than the person that got it?

Its akin to wearing a seatbelt and expecting it to somehow protect the other drivers on the road.

"We're following science" my ass.

His statement is disingenuous on many levels but especially for an MD who is running a large healthcare system. I'm willing to bet their system has "patient rights" posters displayed throughout their facilities along with mandatory training regarding those rights for their employees. They no doubt strictly stress the collaborative nature of the healthcare system/patient relationship with emphasis on the patient's autonomy with regard to accepting or rejecting treatment options recommended by the system.

Contrast that with the apparent inability of those employed by the system to opt out of a vaccine classified for emergency use.

How DARE we question His Holiness, Saint Fauci!

I would put that asshat on the list of those in this world that need to die a horrible, painful, excruciating, long-term, agonizing death. Just sayin'...

For those facing forced vaccination to keep your job or career consider this letter written by a US lawyer and explore it with your own legal counsel:

https://vivabarneslaw.locals.c...loyee-letter-example

Dear Boss,

Compelling any employee to take any current Covid-19 vaccine violates federal and state law.

First, federal law prohibits any mandate of the Covid-19 vaccines as unlicensed, emergency-use-authorization-only vaccines. Subsection bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III) of section 360 of Title 21 of the United States Code, otherwise known as the Emergency Use Authorization section of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, demands that everyone give employees the "option to accept or refuse administration" of the Covid-19 vaccine. ( https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/360bbb-3 ) This right to refuse emergency, experimental vaccines, such as the Covid-19 vaccine, implements the internationally agreed legal requirement of Informed Consent established in the Nuremberg Code of 1947. ( http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/ ). As the Nuremberg Code established, every person must "be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision" for any medical experimental drug, as the Covid-19 vaccine currently is. The Nuremberg Code prohibited even the military from requiring such experimental vaccines. (Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F.Supp.2d 119 (D.D.C. 2003).

Secondly, demanding employees divulge their personal medical information invades their protected right to privacy, and discriminates against them based on their perceived medical status, in contravention of the Americans with Disabilities Act. (42 USC §12112(a).)

Third, conditioning continued employment upon participating in a medical experiment and demanding disclosure of private, personal medical information, may also create employer liability under other federal and state laws, including HIPAA, FMLA, and applicable state tort law principles, including torts prohibiting and proscribing invasions of privacy and battery. Indeed, any employer mandating a vaccine is liable to their employee for any adverse event suffered by that employee. ( https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/faqs#vaccine ). The CDC records reports of the adverse events already reported to date concerning the current Covid-19 vaccine.( https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/vaers.html )

With Regards,


Employee of the Year

I am healthy, if it was me I would do everything in my power to avoid taking any of these vaccines. Reliable long-term safety data is at least a year away.

The employer liability for adverse events may be somewhat covered and offset by health insurance, paid leave of absence and/or short/long term disability. What we really need are severe compulsory and punitive damages for each occurrence on the level that would really make a company think twice about a mandate. In addition, criminal charges should be filed with compulsory time served upon conviction. No plea bargains, no suspended sentences, no time off for good behavior.

How are you doing there in dystopian Australia? They re-lock you down again yet?

When are you Aussies going to have enough of this madness?

Australia update: Victoria

We are now out of that two week lockdown.
Some restrictions remain in place, #1 being masks required when outdoors.

The State is tracking 75 active cases (folks who tested positive) and 142 exposure sites. No hospitals/ICU were harmed in the process.

The 2 false positives that triggered the ridiculousness, changed to 'concerns for the Indian Delta variant are found'; devious distraction.

The MSM read more as bleating a rinse and repeat mantra. Creating concern where there is none.

Pubs and clubs, gyms, must stay closed for the time being. This is quickly killing off those industries in this state.

This a long weekend in Victoria - we acknowledge and celebrate a belated Queen's birthday. It is winter here, crappy weather forecasted.

For the love of all that is holy, don't rely on ANYTHING in that letter. There is a lot of spectacularly bad advice in there.

Germany Starts Rolling out a Digital EU Vaccination Pass

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...m_campaign=ZeroHedge

Germany on Thursday started rolling out a digital vaccination pass that can be used across Europe as the continent gets ready for the key summer travel season.

The country’s health minister said starting this week vaccination centers, doctors’ practices, and pharmacies will gradually start giving out digital passes to fully vaccinated people. The CovPass will let users download proof of their coronavirus vaccination status onto a smartphone app, allowing them easy access to restaurants, museums, or other venues that require proof of immunization.

The vaccination passport should be available to everyone in Germany who is fully vaccinated by the end of this month, Health Minister Jens Spahn said.

“The goal is that this certificate can also be used in Helsinki, Amsterdam, or Mallorca,” Spahn told reporters in Berlin.

People who have already been fully vaccinated in recent weeks will either get a letter with a QR-code they can scan with their phones, or they can contact their doctors or pharmacies to retroactively get the digital pass.

“By doing so, we in the European Union are setting a cross-border standard that doesn’t exist elsewhere in the world yet,” he said, adding that the digital vaccination pass is an important step for the revival of international tourist travel.

The country’s disease control agency, the Robert Koch Institute, reported Thursday that 47 percent of the population, or about 39.1 million people, have been vaccinated at least once. Almost 24 percent, or 19.9 million people, are fully vaccinated.

On Wednesday, almost 1.3 million people received a vaccine jab, the second-highest daily number since the country started its vaccination campaign late last year.

^^^Great, a 21st century 'Papers Please' program being rolled out in Germany 'that can be used all across Europe'....And NO sewing required! Anyone else see the irony here...

Here we go, Germany is requiring papers again. The irony!

This just tells me that if you live in a larger, Democrat controlled city, you are more likely to take the jab:

These cities have reached Biden's 70% vaccination goal -- and beyond

Seattle has become the first U.S. city to fully vaccinate 70% of eligible residents.

In May, President Joe Biden set a goal for 70% of U.S. adults to receive at lease one dose of the vaccine by July 4 in the sprint to end the coronavirus crisis.

Mayor Jenny A. Durkan announced Wednesday that Seattle went a step further and became the first “major American city” to hit that percent with fully vaccinated residents, also adding that 78% of Seattle's population aged 12 and older have received their first dose of the shot.

"It would not have been possible without our residents’ commitment to protecting themselves, their loved ones, and our entire community," she said in a statement.


Meanwhile, Denver has crossed the milestone of administering at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to 70% of its population.

Denver passed the 70% threshold Wednesday morning, and a total of 61.2% of eligible residents aged 12 and older are fully vaccinated, according to the Denver Department of Public Health & Environment. Mayor Michael B. Hancock said in a statement that thanks to the vaccination rate, "We've been able to responsibly reopen our city."

El Paso, Texas has also passed the milestone, with 72% of the county's eligible population aged 12 and up receiving at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the the state's vaccine dashboard.

Some of the nation's largest cities, including San Francisco, San Jose and Boston, are also racing toward the threshold.



San Francisco is one of the cities with the most robust vaccination efforts, with 69% of the population 12 and older fully vaccinated and 79% with at least one dose, according to the city's COVID-19 tracker.

Other cities have also surpassed -- or are nearing -- Biden's 70% mark.

In Santa Clara County, California, which includes the city of San Jose, 68% of residents 12 and older are fully vaccinated, and 79% of residents are partially vaccinated, per county data. San Diego County has partially vaccinated 75% of its population aged 12 and up, and in Los Angeles County 64.9% of residents are partially vaccinated.

In Boston, 62.1% of the population 12 and older is partially vaccinated. In Multnomah County, Oregon, which includes Portland, 69.7% of the population 16 and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine, per county data.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Thursday the nation's capital is nearing the goal of having 70% of adults vaccinated -- with 68.3% of residents 18 and older inoculated -- as D.C. is set to fully reopen with no restrictions Friday, according to its vaccine tracker.

So far, 13 states have reached 70% of adult residents receiving at least one dose. They are: Pennsylvania, Vermont, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington, Maryland and California.

When it comes to states, Vermont is leading the nation in getting shots into the arms of its residents, with 54% of the state fully vaccinated, followed by Massachusetts at 53.18%, Connecticut at 51.06% and Maine at 49.83%. Rhode Island and New Hampshire follow behind, according to data from John Hopkins. That data reports Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi ranking the lowest among all states in percentage of fully vaccinated residents.

Nationally, 42.5% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated, and 51.8% has received at least one dose, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.

About 15.5 million unvaccinated adults need to receive at least one dose in the next four weeks in order to reach Biden's 70% goal, the Associated Press reported.

Sickening. The illness is in full decline (it was our immune systems that obtained here immunity in the first place) and the left is failing to follow the science in spectacular fashion by continuing to mandate the snake oil.

It’s being used as a indicator as to what percentage of the population is malleable. If they can hit 70% that leaves only 30% who may be resistant to desired behaviors later on.

Snake oil would be safer

Few things leftists do and say these days surprises me anymore, but, occasionally, they still manage it. This is one such occasion. The fact a German can say such a thing and not realize what he's saying...

I'd like to see 2 sets of charts:

1. Vac rate in blue cities (done above) and infection rate trends (by week? month?) from 01/20 through now.

2. Same for clearly red dominated cities (or NA?)

If not by city, then perhaps state level comparing obviously blue vs obviously red states?

Would love to see data where vaccine and masks and such were NOT used but wuflu was treated with ivermectin or something. Seems like we should have some data along those lines now.
