As they say- Follow the money.

Hmmm! This is interesting. According to this article, of the top 10 stocks owned by members of Congress in 2021, Pfizer comes in at number six, and J&J is number seven. And I'm sure their families have invested accordingly.

Allowing the human immune system to do what it was meant to do doesn't put money in Swamp Critter's pockets, so this pandemic needs to continue.

30 facts you NEED to know: Your Covid Cribsheet
You asked for it, so we made it. A collection of all the arguments you’ll ever need.

How are things down under? They have unintentionally made the most compelling example ever for why you cannot ever allow only the military and police to have access to all the good guns.

We’ve given up too much here in the USA already with regard to the 2A. But we have seen some successes as well. We should never lose sight of that.

The way that nanny state’s surveillance apparatus works I may never set foot in Australia again. I caught more than just a few bans on social media for being QUITE vocal against their government. This was BEFORE all the covid garbage started. Fuck that government and the jackboot wannabes who think it’s ok to walk all over their citizens.

It sucks that Australia is inhabited by so many drones. There are good people there who don’t deserve to live like that.

From a few months ago. Nah, there's not an epidemic of mental illness in this country. Nah, not at all. A couple of these store employees needed their asses handed to them.

Which city is this? Somewhere out west, I imagine.

Based on the reaction of employees and customers, you'd have thought these people were on fire and eating babies when they entered the store. Fucking lemmings. Everybody wants to be a cop.

Santa Cruz, CA, and the store was Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s has some nice stuff, but a *lot* of them are “granola eaters”. They have been very religious about masks from day one.

I was at that Trader Joe’s this summer while on vacation. We were at that store the morning the statewide lockdown was lifted. We didn’t wear masks. Nobody said a thing. Employees were all smiles. In fact, as we were entering the store the employees were laughing and rejoicing at removing the tape barriers and signs outside the store.

All that to say, what lemmings they are. Apparently incapable of critical thought, only able to think what their government and media tell them to think. It’s so sad.

This should give the wear-your-mask crowd a stroke, since those are the same people who whine about climate change and saving the planet:

22. Masks are bad for the planet. Millions upon millions of disposable masks have been used per month for over a year. A report from the UN found the Covid19 pandemic will likely result in plastic waste more than doubling in the next few years., and the vast majority of that is face masks.

The report goes on to warn these masks (and other medical waste) will clog sewage and irrigation systems, which will have knock on effects on public health, irrigation and agriculture.

A study from the University of Swansea found “heavy metals and plastic fibres were released when throw-away masks were submerged in water.” These materials are toxic to both people and wildlife.

Your move, shit heads

BTW, item number 29 - I've pointed this out several times. It's a puzzler, ain't it? Better get Scoob and the gang to warm up the Mystery Van.

"29. Since the beginning of 2020, the Flu has “disappeared”. In the United States, since February 2020, influenza cases have allegedly dropped by over 98%.

It’s not just the US either, globally flu has apparently almost completely disappeared.

Meanwhile, a new disease called “Covid”, which has identical symptoms and a similar mortality rate to influenza, is supposedly sweeping the globe."

This mass hysteria will be studied by future scholars...it'll become a cautionary tale. In a sane, rational world the 'experts' responsible for the world economies reaction to this pathogen would be tarred and feathered...the cucks are still giving terrible advice to this day and some are actually idolized by the culture. It's truly insane, but fear is a powerful emotion and half the population operates on emotion.

Is the house of cards about to fall? Here's to hoping so.

Ivermectin for Prevention and Treatment of COVID-19 Infection: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis, and Trial Sequential Analysis to Inform Clinical Guidelines

quote:

Conclusions:

Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

Interesting info on disposable masks and the doubling of plastic waste they are causing. The left never cares to see the consequences of their actions. Maybe Fauci can win some kind of award for being the single greatest influence to plastic pollution in history. Quite an accomplishment.

Sadly, there are a number of studies with similar conclusions. Yet, those in power continue to eschew treatment in favor of prevention, even though their preventive measures have failed and will continue to do so. It makes no sense...unless there is another agenda.

Personally, I believe the goal is/has been to utterly disrupt the healthcare system in this country, and worldwide for that matter, in order to usher in universal healthcare. "Never let a good crisis go to waste", and all that.

Will the COVID-19 crisis catalyse universal health reforms?

No doubt, as well as passing wealth through massive stock gains to the Pharma groups, and legislators nationwide from Federal to Local.

I couldn't believe that simply money was the only motivation for this Covid tyranny. And sure, nationalized healthcare was in the mix, as if it weren't already. But in my myopia, I didn't look far enough. I think you're right, Gustofer, internationalized healthcare goes a long way in the explaining the breadth and depth of the power grab that is afoot.

Uh oh Biden, you fuckwit, what are you going to do now? Seems only about half of the contracted military ship builders are vaccinated.

https://www.defenseone.com/bus...e-vaccinated/185593/

Only about half of the workers at two of the Navy’s shipbuilders are vaccinated against COVID-19, top executives from the two companies said.

The sobering numbers, which were revealed during Defense One’s State of the Navy event Thursday morning, offer a snapshot of defense contractors’ struggle to get workers vaccinated. The Biden administration is expected to release vaccination guidelines for federal contractors on Friday.

“We're waiting to see what either the [Federal Acquisition Regulations] or the OSHA rules, once promulgated, do,” said Mark Vandroff, CEO of Fincantieri Marinette Marine. “That would give us additional requirements and potentially additional authorities, since right now we can't force our employees to be vaccinated.”

The Wisconsin shipyard, which borders Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, makes Freedom-class littoral combat ships. Last year, it won a contract to build Constellation-class frigates for the Navy. It also builds warships for Saudi Arabia.

“Right now, we're masked when we're around other people when we're not outdoors,” Vandroff said. “We'll keep that mask requirement in place for as long as we remain a high transmission area.”

Since the beginning of the pandemic, 330 of the shipyard’s 1,350 workers—about 25 percent of the workforce—have been infected with COVID-19, Vandroff said. None have died.

“North of 50 percent” of workers at Marinette Marine are vaccinated, Vandroff said. That’s slightly more than the general population of Marinette County itself.

The company has offered workers free vaccines at the shipyard. Workers are also given paid time off to get vaccinated, Vanddroff said.

“We're going to continue to make vaccines available to our workforce and continue to urge that,” he said.

Meanwhile, at General Dynamics Electric Boat, the employee vaccination rate “is in the neighborhood of about 50 percent,” according to Kevin Graney, the company’s president.

Electric Boat—which builds Virginia-class and Columbia-class nuclear submarines—employs more than 14,000 workers, most of whom work in Groton, Connecticut, and Quonset Point, Rhode Island. That’s far below the average in the surrounding New London and Washington counties, where the overall vaccine rate is 69 percent, according to the New York Times vaccine tracker.

“We're continuing to make sure that [vaccines are] available to everyone,” Graney said.

Graney said workers at Electric Boat’s Connecticut and Rhode Island facilities are required to wear masks indoors.

Many Navy shipbuilding are located in states and counties with low vaccination rates. For instance, Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Ingalls Shipbuilding is in Pascagoula, Mississippi, where the vaccination rate is 37 percent. HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding is located in a community that has a 45 percent vaccination level. The vaccine rate in Mobile, Alabama, where Austal USA builds the Independence-class Littoral Combat Ship, is 41 percent.

The Pentagon has mandated COVID-19 vaccines for all uniformed military personnel; all federal civilian workers must be vaxxed by November. Guidance for contractors is expected to be announced on Friday.

“We'll see what OSHA and what the [federal acquisition regulations] does as far as additional rules, and we'll be ready to comply with those rules,” Vandroff said.

The United Launch Alliance was the first major defense contractor to require employees to get vaccinations.

Leidos has said its employees must be vaccinated by Oct. 1 or provide a negative COVID-19 test result to gain access to a company facility, a company spokesman said.

Starting to get a warm feeling that all this mandate B.S. is going to blow up in Biden’s face.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Kind of like the British forcing a tea tax on the colonists. Real Americans don't like to be forced into anything.

What does this mean? Can employers force employees or not?

Yeah, a surprise to me, being gone for twenty years, and what has changed.
There's complacency, then there's Australians.

Aside from the minor Eureka civil uprising of 1854, there's not been much of that.

The extreme legislation here, imposed on gun owners, is a lengthy diatribe and more than worthy of a separate post.
Maybe other forum members here in Aus would partake of the opportunity to express.

What we take for granted in the US, is often missing here. Castle doctrine? Not here.

Anyway, back to this post ... there is clearly a definition being allowed, for the 'us and them' disparity.
Don't have the single or double vaccination, you can't enjoy these freedoms.

Only have the single, these are your freedoms.
Have the double, great enjoy more freedoms.
No vaccinations, you will be vilified, no freedoms for you.

And by freedoms, I mean places and venues to go to. Where to travel. Even to the point of the Christmas BBQ gathering with family and friends.

I don't live in fear when out in public.
You want to converse about this pandemic, great.
You want to have go at me because I'm doing/not doing something that only you have an issue with? Well, what follows will be a conversation that at least one of is not going to enjoy.

And Victoria, wow is this so a nanny state.

People are getting fed up. Not enough though.

But you know, thanks to Para and to the members of this outstanding forum, for reading my occasional sandboxing, wobbling, and frustrations; and in turn, expressing your thoughts and view for me in turn to enjoy.

A further update on yesterday's protests soon.

For now, it's the AFL Grand Final day.
Bulldogs v the Demons (Footscray v Melbourne).
Meat pies and sausages to heat and serve. Beer.
Some for real yelling at the telly.

Peace out.

Our Granddaughter works in a local Hospital that takes the latest Covid Delta sick.She told us the three people getting the Delta variant are, not vaccinated, obese, and diabetic. Which means Americans get vaccinated,lose weight, cut out sugar and carbs.And 95% getting Delta are not Vaccinated.

people getting the Delta variant

How do they know?

Just a month or so ago the testing couldn't even tell the difference between the flu and covid. Now they have something that tells them which strain they have?
