It’s all about the vaccine. Makes you wonder if Hunter is getting a commission.

Have you all noticed that all this talk of "herd immunity" from the powers-that-be has stopped?

They went from saying that 50% or 60% of the population would have to be vaccinated or get Covid and recover and then proceeded to gradually and sneakily up those numbers until it was around 90% but I realized there has been little talk of herd immunity now for months.

Why is that?

Because politicians cannot buy "herd immunity" stock

And another federal court rules against another Biden vaccine mandate - this time for health-care workers
Alex Berenson

“Plaintiffs are likely to succeed in establishing that the CMS vaccine mandate is arbitrary and capricious.”

Those are the words of federal Judge Matthew T. Schelp of the Eastern District of Missouri in a 32-page opinion devastating the Biden Adminstration’s effort to force health-care workers to be vaccinated.

Today’s ruling, in a lawsuit brought by Missouri and other states, issues a preliminary injunction against the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services mandate.

The CMS mandate now joins Biden’s broader OSHA mandate on the chopping block. For now, it applies only in the 10 states that brought the lawsuit, including Iowa, Missouri, and New Hampshire.

Jiminy Cricket, could these assholes be any more obvious? Do they really think we can't see them standing there naked?

The original “vaccine” isn’t going to provide any protection against the latest variant as the new variant doesn’t have spikes (like the original did)

Anyone recommending “another booster” is an idiot.

I think we should all get the needles permanently attached to our bodies.

Israeli minister: Sanction those who do not take COVID vaccine

https://www.jpost.com/israel-n...covid-vaccine-687276

Cohen said he would support measures including potentially partial lockdowns or fines, saying that unvaccinated people “endanger others.”

An Israeli minister has said that he will support slapping sanctions on anyone who refuses to take a COVID-19 vaccine, similar to moves being made in Austria and Germany.
“I strongly support imposing sanctions on the non-vaccinated,” Labor, Social Affairs and Social Services Minister Meir Cohen said in an interview on Israel’s morning news. “The moment will come when we have to raise the level of sanctions. If we reach a situation where we have to make such a decision, I will support [the sanctions].”

To date, there are around 600,000 eligible Israelis who have still not received their first shot and about a million others who have not yet gotten a booster. The majority of patients in serious condition in Israel’s hospitals are unvaccinated. Some 50% of new daily cases are children and most of the rest are people who have either not been inoculated or are no longer fully vaccinated.

"No longer fully vaccinated."

I've said this before, but it just keeps bearing out. I never thought I'd actually be living in a Kafkaesque world.

No worries BH. The long-term 1 1/2 day study and Mr. Almighty Science himself says it’s perfectly safe!

Actually, if we all had an IV setup, there would be no further need of more injections. Just go to a clinic and get a "fill up" when the government tells you to.

It could work.

This variant is not going to be stopped by the old shots. The stupid is STRONG.

Gov. Baker: QR code vaccine passport coming soon

Gov. Charlie Baker expects a state-sanctioned COVID-19 vaccination passport program to be implemented in Massachusetts and several other states soon.

During an appearance on GBH News' Boston Public Radio, Baker said a scannable quick response code, commonly known as a QR code, would show a person's vaccination status and be made available for others to scan and verify.

"It's a universal standard and we've been working with a bunch of other states, there's probably 15 or 20 of them, to try to create a single QR code that can be used for all sorts of things where people may choose to require a vaccine," Baker said of the passport program.

Baker showed hosts Margery Eagan and Jim Braude his code while in the GBH’s studios in Brighton.

"It's my proof that I've been vaccinated," he said.

Last week, new Boston Mayor Michelle Wu hinted that the city may implement a vaccine mandate for indoor recreation areas.

Baker defended the availability of COVID booster shots in the state, saying Massachusetts is providing around 55,000 total vaccination shots per day, including boosters, and has administered around 1 million booster shots. Baker compared that figure to the 80,000 doses the state was outputting last spring at the height of the vaccination push with the help of mass vaccination centers.

Baker said booster vaccines are available, but may not be in the most convenient locations for everyone.

"Now, they may not be in the place somebody wants to go to get one. And it may be a week or 10 days out or two weeks out before they can get one. But given the fact that we have far more demand now that we had a couple of weeks ago, we're going to see if we can increase our capacity to do more," Baker said.

When the conversation turned to politics, Baker once again told Braude that he's close to deciding whether to run for a third term, and that if he does, it will likely be as a Republican.

Braude told the governor that he assumes if Baker runs again, he "will run as a Republican or won't run at all."

"I think that's a reasonable assumption to make," Baker replied.

A Democrat-funded poll earlier this month found that Baker could face stiff competition in next year's Republican primary against the more conservative, Trump-aligned candidate former Whitman Rep. Geoff Diehl.

Baker said he doesn't sit around and think to himself about if he can win a race.

"To me, the question always comes back to what I said to you before, which is do I have the will, the desire and the agenda that I believe would be in the state's best interest, and the energy and the commitment to follow through and deliver on it," Baker said.

Asked about Maine's recent rejection of plan Baker favors to locate a power transmission line from Quebec to the United States to transmit hydroelectricity, the governor said he's having conversations with utilities and the province of Quebec over what to do to salvage the plan.

"We're still working on it with CMB, Central Maine Power and the folks in Quebec," Baker said.

Baker said the ballot question passed by Maine voters rejecting the transmission line through woodlands raises "an important legal question" about whether major projects, already approved by state governments, can be subject to changes made by voters.

How will people be scanned? Implanted microchips?

High-tech version of these:

Measles, maybe THE most communicable virus known to man, can be passed by breathing the air in a room that someone infected has previously breathed, long after the infected has left the room, is considered to have reached herd immunity when 90% of the population is immune. It has an R0 of 20.

There is no way COVID, with an R0 of around 3, needs 90% of the population immune to get to herd immunity.

Now this Omicron variant has a higher R0, but it’s defining symptoms are a mild cough and being tired. That’s it. It looks like it finally evolved into a form that doesn’t kill the host, hopefully it will spread to the rest of the world and out compete the earlier forms.

Isn't it weird that with all the supply chain problems the world is having, they're having no problems coming up with the ingredients to make the vaccine as well as get it deployed globally?
