Some are starting to ask, 'what happened to the yearly flu the past two years?'.

I've been asking that question for a year and I've never gotten an answer.

COVID is the boogie man. COVID = COVID. The plain old flu = COVID. The common cold = COVID. Death by MVA = COVID. Dying of old age = COVID.

The CDC has made such a mess of the data that I don't think anyone knows for certain but it seems like it is a big player in this.

If you go to Table 3 on the Weekly Updates on the CDC website you will see that influenza and pneumonia are the #1 Comorbidity for COVID-19 deaths as of Oct 3, 2021. Influenza and pneumonia are listed on 331,859 death certs since the beginning of this.

The lead paragraph for Table 3 includes this qualifier: "For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate." Given the issues with the rT-PCR assay, that makes me suspect that the vast majority of deaths "involving COVID-19" are actually something else entirely.

Vermont is the highest vaccinated state in the nation.



COVID-19 Cases, Hospitalizations Plummet in Southern US, Rise in Northern States

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...-states_4040470.html

COVID-19 metrics in southern states like Florida have plummeted in recent weeks while rising in many northern states, including heavily vaccinated ones.

Confirmed COVID-19 cases in Mississippi, for instance, have plunged some 95 percent from the peak of 5,018 on Aug. 19 to just 268 on Oct. 7. COVID-19 related hospitalizations in the state, one of the worst-hit in the nation, dropped from 1,667 on Aug. 19 to 403 on Thursday.

Similar drops have been recorded in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, and Texas.

At the same time, metrics have been rising in many northern states, including those in New England.

Vermont, for instance, went from one case on July 5 to 286 on Oct. 1, and eight hospitalizations in the month of June to 160 in the month of September, though the metrics have been declining in recent days.

In North Dakota, active cases jumped from 143 on July 5 to 4,485 on Oct. 7 while hospitalizations rose from 9 to 184.

Who decides if religious objection to the vaccine mandate is accepted or rejected?

Now I wait, either my religious exception request is granted or I loose my job.
I like to work, I like my work, but now may be forced onto the unemployment rolls if my exemption is not approved.

Let’s Go Brandon!

"Fauci changes the definition of 'fully vaccinated' to include booster shots"

https://thepostmillennial.com/...i-says-booster-shots

"When pressed by The Atlantic's Ed Yong and the criticism surrounding the lack of long-term protection from the mRNA booster shots, Dr. Fauci said that he encourages vaccination regardless if it fails to provide quality protection.
"I think we should be preventing people from getting sick from COVID even if they don't wind up in the hospital," Dr. Fauci said at The Atlantic Festival on Tuesday."

"Skeptics of the COVID-19 booster shots believe that boosters won't provide significant protection and will only act as a temporary shield to the virus, contrary to the vaccines that were designed to prevent hospitalization and death.
However, Fauci said that he "rejects" skeptics' notions and insisted it's beneficial to have temporary protection than no protection; despite the fact that the mRNA COVID vaccine was allegedly designed prevent the virus.

During the interview, Fauci explained it's highly likely that individuals won't be considered fully-vaccinated unless they get booster shots."

Are all of the leftist idiots paying attention? Until you get the booster, then the next one, then the next one, then the next one, etc. etc. ad nauseum, you are not fully vaccinated. This stupidity will never end as long as all of the morons supporting this egregious violation of our rights wake the hell up and STOP supporting it. Do you get it yet? YOU WILL NEVER BE FULLY VACCINATED.

A friend and former co-worker of mine recently had appendicitis with complications and just told me this, "My Doc pointed out that I had a rare form of appendicitis, where the appendix fused to the colon. She’s hardly ever seen it before, but she’s seen several times in the las couple of months. Cristina wondered if it was a side affect from the vaccine. I looked it up, and there was an increased instance of appendicitis among trial subjects."

He had the Moderna vaccine.

See my post previous page (page 895) with links, 8 Dec. 2021 is the key date for many of us.

From The White House, September 24, 2011: “Covered contractor employees must be fully vaccinated no later than December 8, 2021.” Per Executive Order 14042.

From Lesley A.Field, Acting Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy Office of Management and Budget
September 30, 2021; Memorandum for Chief Acquisition Officers Senior Procurement Executives Defense Acquisition Regulations Council Civilian Agency Acquisition Council

Essentially to do business with the U.S. Government, all contractors and subcontractors must be fully vaccinated.
No vaccination, no government contracts, no money.

May I ask....what is the significance of DEC 8th????

I think it’s 90 days from the day Dementia Joe’s handlers made him issue that EO for federal workers and contractors.

From White House “New Guidance on COVID-⁠19 Workplace Safety for Federal Contractors” September 24, 2021

“Vaccination of Covered Contractor Employees

Covered contractors must ensure that all of their covered employees are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, unless the employee is legally entitled to an accommodation. Covered contractor employees must be fully vaccinated no later than December 8, 2021.”

Is this a ratified law - or just media speak from the White House?

No, it's not a law. It's an order from the head of the Executive branch, meaning the fake president.

So Amazon, UPS and FedEx will be following suit? I'm sure those firms have contracts with the Federal Gov't and if it extends to them and their workers rebel, there's going to be hell to pay.

So what's the next step to be taken here? Once they have forced everyone they can by making them choose between making a lively hood or taking the vaccine and there are still hundreds of thousands of people who have not what does the next turn of the screw entail?

Look at the links I posted on Page 895 of this thread.

I don’t see how it could not apply to any company with government contracts.

Enforcement of the Executive Order is via the Office of Management and Budget adding clauses to existing and new government contracts.
Essentially cutting off of federal funds “money” to companies which do not comply.

^^^ The Government can't just add a clause to an existing legal contract, just b/c it wants to and expect other parties to agree to it.

In fact, I just read your first link and right there in black & white it states that "the executive order doesn't extend to current contracts." How about reading that which you post!

Let me revise my statement of “all” to new, extensions or renewals of contracts.
However in application, I think “all” companies with government contracts will comply to continue business with the government, with very few exceptions.

Here is the applicable text and link.

1. Applicability and effective dates. In accordance with section 5 of the order, agencies are
required to include an implementing clause in solicitations and contracts for services, including
construction, in accordance with the following dates specified in section 6 of the order:

• new contracts awarded on or after November 14 from solicitations issued before October
15 (this includes new orders awarded on or after November 14 from solicitations issued
before October 15 under existing indefinite-delivery contracts);

• new solicitations issued on or after October 15 and contracts awarded pursuant to those
solicitations (this includes new solicitations issued on or after October 15 for orders
awarded pursuant to those solicitations under existing indefinite-delivery contracts);

• extensions or renewals of existing contracts and orders awarded on or after October 15,
2021; and

• options on existing contracts and orders exercised on or after October 15, 2021.

To maximize the goal of getting more people vaccinated and decrease the spread of
COVID-19, the Task Force strongly encourages agencies to apply the requirements of its
guidance broadly, consistent with applicable law, by including the clause in:

• contracts that have been or will be awarded prior to November 14 on solicitations issued before October 15; and

• contracts that are not covered or directly addressed by the order because the contract or subcontract is under the simplified acquisition threshold or is a contract or subcontract for the manufacturing of products.

2. Exclusions. The clause shall not be applied to:

• contracts and subcontracts with Indian Tribes under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (the exclusion would not apply to a procurement contract or subcontract under the FAR to an Indian-owned or tribally-owned business entity); or

• solicitations and contracts if performance is outside the United States or its outlying areas (the exclusion is limited to employees who are performing work only outside the U.S. or its outlying areas).
