Thank you, my friends! Keep fighting for what you believe in! I was pleasantly surprised, since I'm in liberal Oregon and the HQ for my company is in Andover, Massachusetts.

Illinois Sheriffs Reject Mayor Lightfoot's Urgent Plea To Cover Police Shortage In Crime-Hit Chicago

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...e-shortage-crime-hit

As hundreds of Chicago police are being put on "no-pay leave" over their refusal to submit their personal Covid vaccination status with the city, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot appears to have fewer and fewer allies as she desperately tries to fill the gap of officer shortages due to the vax order. Area county sheriffs are refusing to send additional manpower that's she requesting to urgently cover the gaps, telling her that's it's a problem of the mayor's own making.

"Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot received a rude awakening after multiple sheriffs in nearby jurisdictions refused her request to fill the gap in police manpower after she threatened to fire 3,000 local officers for not complying with the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate," The Washington Examiner reports on the latest developments. "DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick and Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain said they've helped Lightfoot in the past, but her latest request is a self-inflicted wound that could have been avoided. They said they would only step in and help the Chicago Police Department if city officers were in distress or under duress."

Sheriff Hain had this to say, echoing recent criticisms of the Chicago police union which has cited terrible communication and heavy-handedness in place of requests for dialogue on the issue: "[The Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System] typically responds to emergency situations where there is no opportunity for planning," Hain said. "This situation to me is much different."

Despite sheriff's offices shutting the door on the mayor's request to cover Chicago PD officer shortages, police continue to reportedly be summoned to headquarters where they are given one last on the spot ultimatum: submit to last week's vaccine status order or be relieved from duty without pay.

So far the city says it's not yet going after street patrol officers, which is obviously on fears of a coming crime wave that will hit an already understaffed notoriously high-crime city.

BBC has complied recent statistics as the standoff over the vax mandate continues:

Chicago, a city of nearly three million people, has seen more than 1,600 sexual assaults, nearly 3,000 shootings and 649 murders this year - a 14% increase over last.

Just as violent crimes have risen, though, thousands of the city's police force may not show up to work.

...Nearly one-third of Chicago's almost 13,000-member police department have so far refused to register their vaccination status, putting them on track for dismissal. Twenty-one have been officially removed from active duty so far, but some officials have warned that the mandate could leave Chicago's police force dangerously depleted.

Adding fuel to the fire of the crisis, President Joe Biden during his CNN Town Hall remarks Thursday night continued pushing his view that emergency responders should be fired for defying local vaccine mandates.

The president even appeared to mock those rejecting vaccine mandates on the basis of "freedom"...

"I have the freedom to kill you with my COVID," Biden said, mocking what he sees as the attitude of mandate opponents. "No, I mean, come on, freedom."

Meanwhile the head of Chicago's largest police union, John Catanzara, is still urging officers to hold the line, despite a weekend gag order imposed on him by the city.

"It is the city's clear attempt to force officers to 'Chicken Little, the sky is falling' into compliance," he's recently urged the union's 11,000 members. "Do not fall for it. Hold the line."

Oops! It appears Little Lori has crapped the bed big time and no one is going to come clean it up for her. She's painted herself into a corner with no way out and I'm loving it. Even Vlad is laughing at this ridiculous moron.

China Is Pushing a New COVID Origin Theory: Maine Lobsters

In mid-September, Marcel Schliebs, a disinformation researcher at the University of Oxford who had been tracking messaging that Chinese diplomats and state media spread on Twitter for 18 months, spotted the emergence of a surprising coronavirus origin theory.

Zha Liyou, the Chinese consul general in Kolkata, India, tweeted an unfounded claim that COVID-19 could have been imported to China from the United States through a batch of Maine lobsters shipped to a seafood market in Wuhan in November 2019. It marks the latest in a series of theories that have been pushed by pro-China accounts since the start of the pandemic.

With some further digging, Schliebs uncovered a network of more than 550 Twitter accounts, which he shared with NBC News, spreading a nearly identical message, translated into multiple languages — including English, Spanish, French, Polish, Korean and even Latin — at similar times each day between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. China Standard Time.

Some of the accounts were “unsophisticated sock puppets” with “very few or zero followers,” Schliebs said, while others appeared to be accounts that were once authentic but had been hijacked and repurposed to spread disinformation.

I saw you posted the letter you wrote for your exemption last night, but have since removed it. Curious why?

“ Zha Liyou, the Chinese consul general in Kolkata, India, tweeted an unfounded claim that COVID-19 could have been imported to China from the United States through a batch of Maine lobsters shipped to a seafood market in Wuhan in November 2019”.

What utter horse shit. I’m nearly positive I got the wuflu in 11/19 before it was acknowledged to be in the wild on a work related trip to California. All the symptoms were there. I believe Covid was first spread at the military games in 10/19 in Wuhan as previously speculated.

No, no-it came from Europe

Don't you just love watching clueless leftists get their comeuppance?

Sadly, though, it will be those officers that remain on duty and the good, honest, hard-working people of Chicago that will pay for it

Maybe, just maybe, Chicago voters will learn something from this? Don't laugh. Could happen. Hell, even Detroiters finally Got A Clue after the disaster that was Kwame Kilpatrick. They're still electing Democrats, but at least Duggan is a competent Democrat that isn't as far off in never-never land as the likes of Leftfoot.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I am sure there are still plenty of Daleys in the area.

I've been looking for a video on this story I read a week or so ago and I finally found it. This is a very interesting take on how one group dealt with Covid, a group many people would look upon as inferior to the rest of society given how they choose to live their lives. But did they get this right while the rest of the US listened to the BS 'experts'? I'm inclined to believe they just might have.

^^^
This is a picture perfect example of how we can collectively tell the government to go to hell. We’re not letting you assholes disrupt our lives, livelihoods, free time, NOTHING. But sadly, half of the country is functionally retarded and buy into their bullshit. Hook, line, and sinker.

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

Sounds like the Amish gave them the 2 weeks to stop the spread and then went back to living.

Sweden Suspends Moderna Shot Indefinitely After Vaxxed Patients Develop Crippling Heart Condition

New concerns are being raised about side effects from the Moderna vaccine against the coronavirus.

Swedish health officials have now decided that a moratorium on giving the Moderna vaccine to anyone under 31 will be extended indefinitely, the U.K. Daily Mail reported. The pause on the Moderna shots had been scheduled to end on Dec. 1.

Finland, Iceland and Denmark have taken similar steps. Norway is encouraging men under 30 not to get the Moderna shot, but is not mandating it.

For months, the Moderna vaccine has been under scrutiny because of data that shows young men who receive it are at increased risk for myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac around the heart.

The Daily Mail reported that one U.S. study that has not yet been peer-reviewed concluded that “young males under [age] 20 are up to six times more likely to develop myocarditis after contracting COVID-19 than those who have been vaccinated.”

The decision comes as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is putting Moderna’s plans for a shot aimed at the population from age 12 to 17 on hold due to concerns over risks of the ailments, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Although a federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel on Thursday approved boosters for the Moderna and Johnson & Johson vaccines, there were some cautions raised, according to CNBC.

Dr. Tom Shimabukuro said there is an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis with either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, in particular after the second dose of the vaccines.

According to the Daily Mail, the data indicated the risk was 13 times greater for those getting the Moderna vaccine than for those who got the Pfizer vaccine.

After I posted it, I thought maybe I'm sharing too much about my personal faith and convictions. I used to share more openly, but especially being her in the godless PNW, people generally don't want to hear about it so I generally keep my convictions to myself. I'm generally a guarded person but I let my guard down for a moment.

But still, thanks be to GOD that he moved the hearts and minds of those that reviewed my exemption. He knew I was prepared to quit to stand up for what I believe in.

If anyone would like to read my personal letter, I will happily e-mail it to anyone who is interested.

Tony.

Tony,

Can certainly understand your concerns. It's an amazing letter that leaves no doubt about the strength of your faith and conviction.

Would you mind to please email me what you feel comfortable with?

Sent a text with a link to your post to a dear friend whose son is in a similar predicament.

Would like to send it along to him, if you are okay with that, please.

Tony,
I would appreciate a copy of it as well. I plan to submit my letter of exemption on Monday and I liked the vaccine statistics you included towards the end. Thank you!
