Well,

Yesterday at work they sent out an email saying since I have not entered my vaccination status, I need to have it done by 10/22/21

There are 4 questions are you vaccinated, how many vaccines have you had, do you plan to get vaccinated, or are you planning on NOT getting vaccinated.

So I have a week to comply with that.

My answer will be I chose NOT to get the jab!

Dr. Deena Hinshaw apologizes and says Alberta teen didn't actually die from COVID

'The pain of losing a child is terrible enough without having that loss compounded by a public debate about the circumstances.... I’m sorry'

https://nationalpost.com/news/...ually-die-from-covid

Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s top doctor, has walked back the government’s previous claim that a 14-year-old had died of COVID-19, and said the province would no longer announce COVID-19 deaths for children under 18 until a “review process” has been completed to verify all the facts.

On Tuesday, Hinshaw announced that a 14-year-old was one of 33 new COVID-19 deaths reported over the long weekend, but that the teen also “had complex pre-existing medical conditions that played a significant role in their death.”

Rachel Notley, the leader of Alberta’s opposition New Democrats, wrote on Twitter, “Telling their loved ones that there were other health complications that contributed to their death offers no comfort whatsoever.”

“No matter what ‘pre-existing conditions’ they had, this child died during a fourth wave that was preventable,” Notley wrote.

As it turns out, the child did not, in fact, die of COVID-19.

In a Facebook post, Simone Spitzer said the 14-year-old was her brother, and that he was dying of brain cancer, but had been diagnosed with COVID-19 two days before his death. “He died from stage 4 brain cancer, not from covid,” Spitzer wrote, linking to a news story about the death. “This is fake news.”

On Wednesday, Hinshaw clarified that while the initial report of the death of the child included COVID-19 as a “secondary cause,” new information indicated that COVID-19 was not the cause of death. She apologized directly to the family.

“The pain of losing a child is terrible enough without having that loss compounded by a public debate about the circumstances,” Hinshaw said. “I’m sorry if the way I spoke about that death made your grief worse.”

Hinshaw said reviews of deaths are done in the case of uncertainty, and if it’s found that COVID-19 is not the cause, the death is removed from reporting. Or, if COVID-19 is later found to be the cause, then those deaths are added to the reporting.


She explained that COVID-19 deaths are classified as such if COVID-19 is a primary or secondary cause, as well as in cases where there was a diagnosis, but the final cause of death is under investigation.

“We have chosen to focus on being as timely as possible in the interest of transparency,” Hinshaw said.

Alberta will now review all deaths of those under 18 prior to releasing this information.

“It is clear that we need a different process for young people,” Hinshaw said.

Throughout the pandemic, Alberta has reported comorbidities alongside COVID-19 deaths; for example, nearly 83 per cent of those who have died from COVID-19 in Alberta also had hypertension. While such transparency is touted as a way to explain the risks — if you have certain health conditions, you’re at greater risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 — critics have suggested such information downplays the deaths.


“To those who believe that the numbers are not accurate, I would say that the process that we follow takes very seriously the responsibility of ensuring the deaths we report do have COVID as either a primary or secondary cause,” said Hinshaw.

In December 2020, Hinshaw said the purpose of comorbidity reporting is to “provide additional information to Albertans” and help them evaluate the risk of COVID-19.

“I want to be clear … the presence of any chronic condition is not a death sentence, and should not be, so whether or not an individual who passed away had a chronic condition or not, does not mean that that death was less tragic,” she said.

Are they asking the questions in the exact context without specific reference to C19? If so, that's easy to answer.

They asked those 4 questions under the covid 19 vaccination status on our internal website.

My answer will be I do not plan on getting the vaccination, and then see what is next.

Say what? That sounds like "if covid is the primary or secondary cause, as well as the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or if someone you know twice removed happens to have covid, then it's classified as a covid death. Or if you die of brain cancer. That is unless we get called out plainly for our bullshit."

The Rogan/Gupta story is all over the place. I am posting this Shapiro video because of the points he makes, and not for the widely available Rogan clip. Have a listen to Shapiro's comments.

Forty Percent of TSA Employees Not Vaccine Compliant

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees have until November 22nd to get vaccinated or get fired. However, it appears there is a significant percentage of the workforce that have yet to comply with the federal mandate. According to a report from The Hill following an interview with TSA Administrator David Pekoskeat, the current rate of vaccination compliance within the agency is 60 percent.

Given the amount of propaganda, lies and manipulation of data from the U.S. Federal Government and corporate media, I’m left to wonder if the vaccination rates in the entire nation are not ¹overblown. The White House occupant said more than 60 million eligible workers are still not vaccinated.

WASHINGTON DC – […] With the deadline six weeks away, employees have already missed the point at which they can get vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine. The two-shot regimen is administered four weeks apart and an additional two weeks are needed after the shots for a patient to be considered fully vaccinated.

[…] In a memo sent out earlier this month, the the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) said federal agencies could begin enforcing the vaccine mandate beginning on Nov. 9 for employees who are still not vaccinated.

“Employees who refuse to be vaccinated or provide proof of vaccination are subject to disciplinary measures, up to and including removal or termination from Federal service,” OPM Director Kiran Ahuja said. “The only exception is for individuals who receive a legally required exception pursuant to established agency processes.” (read more)

¹There are 205 million total eligible workers in the United States aged 15-74 {data}, and the labor participation rate is 61% {data}. Therefore there should be approximately 125 million people working in the United States. However, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics puts the U.S. workforce number at 153 million {data}. The difference is likely the ineligible workers that are actually working (ie. 25 to 30 million illegal aliens).

If we split the difference and take the mid-point at 140 million workers, then 60 million workers refusing the vaccine mandate represents about 40 percent of the entire population of eligible workers. That is a massive percentage of the workforce.

The economic systems in the United States cannot function if 40% of the workforce just refuses the vaccine and gets fired. Heck, it doesn’t take anywhere near that many to collapse the system. If only ten percent of the eligible and currently employed workforce refuses the jab, things cannot function.

https://theconservativetreehou...mpliant/#more-218495



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I pointed out just how at my job, things will quickly go to shit as far as a support services perspective when half the janitors, security guards and cafeteria workers are fired for refusing the vaccine.

More than 40% of TSA employees could quit and no one would notice or care, anyway.

I never liked being fondled by TSA anyway...
But what if you have a flight to catch and instead of an hour to get through TSA now it's two hours?

Must-see TV: Devastating video of shifting narrative on Covid vax

Argumentation in the video idiom of the MTV generation.

As Sundance comments:

[T]he effectiveness of this video is enhanced because the producer doesn’t use opinion to drive home the point. The central assertion of vaccines being ineffective is proven in their own words and media statements during the course of only ten months. A masterful video:

Two hours? It'd be more like three or four.

The COVID shot mandate has become official policy at my work. I'm upset to say the least.

I will not call these injections "vaccines" -- they neither prevent the disease nor prevent the spread.

I've sent an email to HR to get the ball rolling on a religious exemption, but I'm livid at this point. It's none of their business what religious views I hold. And who exactly will be judging my views??? I'm old enough to pull the pin and walk away -- and that's the next step for me if there is any push back.

Personally, I don't care what a person chooses to do with the covid shots. Get them. Don't get them. It's up to you.

Same for guns. Get one. Don't get one. Suit yourself.

But sending in 'proof' of the shot. Or registering ownership of guns. And threatening people's jobs if they don't comply. It goes too far.

I just wanted to be left alone. And that's obviously too much to ask anymore.
