Sorry for the lack of a link. It’s behind a NYT paywall and screw those Commies.

“The unvaccinated need to avoid travel for Labor Day”

They’re pushing to normalize treating the unvaccinated as second class citizens without rights.

non-ferrous brass keys

Most people don't realize that keys are made of soft(er) non-ferrous metals, with a few exceptions. The key wears faster than the lock, because keys are cheaper and easier to replace than the lock itself.

Key rings and other things on the key ring may be attracted to a magnet, but not the keys themselves. Even with that being the case, it would take one heck of a magnetic draw to attract the steel key ring enough to drag the keys along with it.

Not all keys are non-ferrous. Many keys can be attracted to magnets.

Ok, carry on.

I've heard that some vaccinated people report seeing glowing rings around the area where the needle went into their skin. So, it seems that in addition to being highly magnetic, the vaccine is also bio luminescent, or even radioactive!

I believe the new Pfizer variant (the one that received FDA approval) is minus the mercury element.

This info was from a nurse/technician that has given tens of thousands of these pokes. Unfortunately she would not give me access to the post-jab waiting area security camera.

I think she gave you some misinformation. Mercury is diamagnetic, meaning that its atoms will tend to align themselves in a magnetic field, but it is not ferromagnetic, meaning it would stick to a magnet like a piece of iron would.

Secondly, she is probably thinking of thimerosal, a preservative that does contain mercury. Thimerosal is used in some vaccines like that for flu. But the amount of mercury would be far too small to show any overt signs of magnetism, and at any rate none of the Covid vaccines contain any in the first place.

Call me paranoid, but I'm one of those people who get a yearly flu shot. This year I'm afraid it could be something else that's injected into my shoulder. Am I being silly? More and more, I don't trust anyone.

A California county’s Democrat-controlled board of supervisors voted 3-2 at midnight Tuesday to declare misinformation a public health crisis and potentially silence residents who oppose coronavirus lockdowns as well as mask and vaccine mandates.

The party-line vote came after 14 hours of public comment in San Diego County, with hundreds of residents speaking out against the measure.

"Misinformation I agree is dangerous, however, it is hard for me to believe that we or anyone we know knows everything about medicine," Jim Desmond, a Republican board member who voted against the measure, told Fox News. "Today’s facts may be tomorrow’s misinformation."

He said it’s both an infringement of freedom of speech and a hindrance to medical science.

"We have sacrificed a lot of freedoms over the last 16 months," he said. "But I will not sacrifice freedom of speech and thought."

Democratic board Chair Nathan Fletcher, who introduced the measure, did not share those concerns in a tweet celebrating the passage.

"San Diego County became the first jurisdiction in America to officially declare ‘Health Mis-information a Public Health Crisis,’" he wrote. "It is time to trust science, doctors and public health experts."

Still, the measure faced widespread criticism from area residents, and the board’s public testimony session ran for 14 hours.

More than 400 speakers voiced their opposition to declaring misinformation a public health crisis, according to Desmond’s office.

Proponents of the designation argued it would help fight vaccine hesitancy as the COVID-19 delta variant continues to spread. But critics worried it had greater implications.

A letter from board Chair Nathan Fletcher recommends tasking the county’s chief administrative officer with devoting resources to "label health misinformation" and then counter it; to spend tax revenue on a way to "modernize public health communications;" and to set up a new website specifically designed for "combating health misinformation," among other things.

A summary of the proposal claims that "health misinformation now presents a greater threat to public health than a variant of COVID-19."

"In response, the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego recognizes the vaccine hesitancy, that stands in the way of the County moving beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, is being fueled by the spread of health misinformation and commits to developing strategies to actively combat health misinformation," it continues.

Fletcher’s letter also recommended making a website to "combat" online posts that counter the county’s official positions on the coronavirus, spending taxpayers’ money to "identify and label health misinformation" and building up the county’s public health communications apparatus to convey approved messaging, among other measures.

I know the comparison is everywhere nowadays, but that's a paragraph straight out of 1984

Just in case anyone was wondering where this moron comes down...



This is what you do when you're losing, and losing badly. They've lost the public through lies and fear mongering, and this BS isn't going to do anything to improve their situation. If anything, this may actually make the eventual push back even worse. Let's hope so.

I find it interesting that my wife, who has two relatives that c.aim they have received the Covid booster shots. 1 in Killeen Texas and the other in Atlanta Georgia. Could this be correct?

You mean is it correct that some people have received the booster shot? Yes, they are already available in some areas. My mother either already got hers, or is scheduled to receive it (can't remember which now).

Thanks. I was under the impression that it would start end of September. Damn it, I hate being wrong.

I believe that widespread distribution is scheduled to start September 20, but it's already approved for those deemed immuno-compromised or are front-line health care workers.

I heard a radio ad today in Maine that claimed that getting the Covid jab potentially reduce the effects of dimentia/alzheimers.

What a complete load of BS. These scumbags will stop at nothing to promote their misguided agenda.

And one of my employees got his second Pfizer jab yesterday. Today - bells palsy and loss of vision in one eye. Just a coincidence, of course.

I believe it’s just immunocompromised individuals right now. September 20 is the expected approval for everyone else, but not to be given until 8 months after their last vaccination.

My experience.

I'm unvaccinated for Covid-19 and will remain that way. I'm past 55, healthy and fit; no comorbidities.

I was diagnosed with Covid last Christmas. The experience was easily manageable. Slept like I've never slept before, substantial fever, mild headaches, and loss of taste and smell.

My wife had a first dose of Pfizer the week prior. She tracked my vitals including pulse ox, temp, and BP. I was spoiled and well cared for.

I recovered, then my wife came down with it. Her experience was milder and similar to mine. Her care did not equal mine. She received her second Pfizer shot in March.

We both recovered fully. I do think my lung function is mildly compromised, but I've never had it measured. Wife has no complaints.

Two Sundays ago our neighbors and I travelled together to a nearby restaurant. The neighbors are elderly and both fully vaccinated; Pfizer this spring. My wife joined us as she had travelled from a nearby town.

We shared company, pizza, beer, and dessert, literally; it was a great evening.

The next evening, the couple stopped by and let me know she had just tested positive. The next day my company placed me on quarantine for the next 10 days. I reported scratchy throat and mild headache via my work reporting/screening app.

I tested negative last Friday and suffer no symptoms beyond what I reported. The husband tested positive Thursday. Both received the monoclonal antibody treatment within a day of diagnosis and are recovering. I'll return to work tomorrow.

Obviously, nothing exceptional; I just thought it interesting given my extensive exposure and experience. Wife is negative as well.

My wife and I have had the same exact discussion. Do I trust a flu shot in 2021? Hell no. No more flu shots for us.

There is no mercury, no thiomersal , and no metal in the Pfizer vaccine.

“ Here, for instance, is what the US Food and Drug Administration says is in Pfizer’s vaccine:

Active Ingredient
nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) encoding the viral spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2
Lipids
(4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis (ALC-3015)
(2- hexyldecanoate),2-[(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N,N-ditetradecylacetamide (ALC-0159)
1,2-distearoyl-snglycero-3-phosphocholine (DPSC)
cholesterol
Salts
potassium chloride
monobasic potassium phosphate
sodium chloride
basic sodium phosphate dihydrate
Other
sucrose
Reading the ingredient list is like looking at the side of a cereal box, except that you need a degree in organic chemistry to understand it. We got help from various scientists and biotech entrepreneurs to understand what each of the ingredients does and make some educated guesses about others.

Opposing the party line on Covid is Thoughtcrime and that is doubleplusungood.

Declare it a health crisis and then do what? Huh? Whatchu gonna do? You gonna stop people from talking, stop them from posting online? How you gonna enforce your ridiculous shit?
