HAHAHAHAH!!! Oh dam...that is awesome.

These people truly do live in a bubble. They actually think twitter, facespace, and tic tock are the real world. They think that the late 40's mom, or dad, working to support their families actually pay attention to these things. Not only that they think they are susceptible to being influenced by bee bopping boy bands bought by Biden.



Absolutely bizarre.

Reports Surface of CDC Overcounting U.S. Vaccine Rates

This is likely not surprising to many Americans; however, Bloomberg {LINK} and now Axios {LINK} are reporting that official U.S. CDC vaccination rates are considerably overstated.

The issue stems from exceptionally high previous vaccination rates reported by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that remained static despite the same CDC reporting that vaccines continued.

Common sense would ask: if vaccination rates were long-ago in the 99% range for age-groups the CDC reported, then how could the CDC continue assigning hundreds of thousands of new vaccinations into the group? Thus, downward revisions are now being made to reconcile the issue.

Anecdotally, this would align with several tangential datapoints which have always seemed to be in conflict with the preferred government narrative. Additionally, there’s also an obvious motive on behalf of the government to overinflate vaccination in order to generate peer pressure and the self-fulfilling prophecy needed to garner vaccine acceptance.

As now noted by Bloomberg:

[…] “CDC data show 240 million people with at least one shot, or about 72.5% of the population. But the agency says only 203 million are fully vaccinated, or 61.3%, an 11-percentage-point difference that is far larger than in other developed countries.

State and local officials say it’s improbable that 37 million Americans got one shot without completing their inoculations. Instead, they say, the government has regularly and incorrectly counted booster shots and second doses as first doses.” (more)

Perhaps this disparity reconciles why many people look quizzically at the high vaccine data while not finding any correlation to their own community, friends or family. Indeed, there has always been a disconnect between the number of people the government reports as having been vaccinated, when contrast against the open admissions of those who have not wanted to participate in this wide-scale vaccination program.

Not only does this disconnect appear visible in the U.S., but clear examples of the seemingly odd disconnect also surface in Australia where the government vaccine mandate is perhaps the most extreme.

Vaccine hesitancy is not driven by pure opposition to vaccines in/of themselves; rather the commonsense hesitancy is driven by the reality of an mRNA vaccine potentially not being reversible if any long-term negative outcome was to eventually surface.

The unvaccinated population are essentially a real world control group, and in the interest of public disclosure, I am a member of that group.

Specific to the United States, we must also remember there is a large number, tens-of-millions of Americans, who have watched in real time how various institutions of government have been revealed to be corrupt. Never before, in recent memory, have so many people lost trust in government institutions as a result of sunlight upon them.

Institutions including the U.S. Dept of Justice, the FBI and the various intelligence agencies, as well as corporate media, the U.S. education network, and now the medical establishment -writ large- have seen stunning collapses in trust and credibility.

The impact of the collapse in trust of those institutions is going to reverberate for generations. The issue of whether anything resembling their prior credibility ever being achieved again is an open-ended question for the next several generations.

Watching the metastatic virus of corruption and corporate influence infect the institutions of government is also not a unique issue for the United States. Globally, one only has to glance around at the visible protests to see that trust in almost all government is now at its lowest point in memory. That reality only provides more reason to doubt the vaccination rates being reported by those same corporate/government institutions.

The “we are doing it for your health” talking point seems absolutely ridiculous when you contrast that claim against the harm caused by the COVID dictates. A solid argument can be made that the popular government deployed solution, totalitarian oppressions, has been far more detrimental than the virus itself.

Put all of that together with the visible anger amid the daily protests on almost every continent, and yeah, it makes sense to read that these vaccination rates are wildly over accounted by the government entities and institutions who have demanded them.

James Garrow, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, which has worked with the state to blend data sets for a more accurate view of vaccination trends, said “we don’t have any faith in the numbers on the CDC website, and we never refer to them.”

As Neil Oliver has stated frequently, “We are the many – they are the few.” And given that reality, there must be a great deal of fear amid a group of politicians that eventually they will be overwhelmed. Indeed, the need for control is a reaction to fear.

Hahaha

NFL realizes they might lose money from stupid COVID restrictions and lowers testing standard.

This says it all. From chellim1 post, “Never before, in recent memory, have so many people lost trust in government institutions as a result of sunlight upon them.”

A federal appeals court panel on Friday allowed President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for larger private employers to move ahead. The 2-1 decision by a panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reverses a decision by a federal judge in a separate court that had paused the mandate nationwide.

Yeah... it's infuriating.

Judge Julia Smith Gibbons wrote in her majority opinion (pdf ) on Friday, “Given OSHA’s clear and exercised authority to regulate viruses

So much hubris and stupidity wrapped up in one sentence fragment...

Considering I have been a manager or engineer in manufacturing for most of my career I am quite familiar with OSHA regulations, tracking OSHA recordable injuries, implementing corrective actions, and designing processes and equipment to be safe and ergonomic.

Just about everything OSHA stipulates is intended to prevent physical injury, or prevent illness caused by foreign substances entering the worker's body. So there are all manner of rules about how to handle hazardous substances, WITHOUT getting them into your body. I've had the blood borne pathogen training - again how not to contaminate yourself with someone else's blood after they are injured.

If you work in a lab where biological pathogens may infect you, proper handling and containment methods, along with appropriate PPE must be provided by the employer. This relates to handling of blood, sharp items that have contacted blood that you may accidentally stab yourself with, disposal of contaminated items, and the use of gloves, masks, goggles, face shields, respirators, etc. among other things.

So yes, OSHA can regulate a workplace where viral agents are handled and ensure workers are properly protected from infection.

NO WHERE in anything mandated by OSHA have a I ever seen a mandate to PUT SOMETHING INTO YOUR BODY. PERIOD.

The order escapes complete lack of regulatory authority because it does allows mask wearing and weekly testing in lieu of the vaccine. But the intent and practice of the regulation will be to compel vaccination by treating the un-vaccinated as second class citizens. If vaccinated people can carry the virus and infect others, which is what we keep getting told, then there is no justifiable reason to treat anyone differently. Everyone wears a mask and everyone gets tested weekly REGARDLESS of vaccination status.

For the record I have had 3 shots of the Pfizer. My choice because I travel internationally for my job and other countries will require vaccination for entry. But it should be everyone's choice. People who have already had COVID should never have to get vaccinated. I am shocked by the number of people that do. I can't think of any other illness (other than the flu shot) where you get vaccinated after recovering from the actual illness.

I'm going to let one of our resident scholars point us all to the section of the legislation that created OSHA that details this "authority" of OSHA to require a foreign substance be injected into an employee's body. This woman is yet another moron activist judge appointed by Barry O generating little more than BS. On to SCOTUS....

The dissenting opinion was much more accurate and relevant, in that, how can OSHA regulate something in the workplace that exists in all of society no matter where the employee goes. But never mind common sense. We left that behind about a year ago.

All about the Benjamins baby. Pfizer and the politicians they own aren't going to let go of this revenue stream until we as a society burn their BS game to the ground. I've got matches if anyone has a can of fuel.

I have no idea what this nonsense is

Joe Biden reportedly plans to make a major speech on Tuesday, which will include an announcement of new COVID-19 measures to address the “new phase of the pandemic” but also “a stark warning” to unvaccinated Americans.

This is expected to be a continuation of two sales pitches the regime has been using: The old “pandemic of the unvaccinated” narrative that some still think is working and the new “winter of death for the unvaxxed” narrative that they started testing this week.

https://noqreport.com/2021/12/...er-omicron-scariant/

"Winter of death" sounds so dark and foreboding. Who writes this shit? This is one speech I may actually see how much I can stand to listen to just for the entertainment value. Winter of death!

So OSHA regulates medicine now? Only a corrupt or grossly incompetent judge would ever support this.

POTATUS is probably going to announce something like travel restrictions for the unjabbed. I'm surprised they haven't already mandated that all airline passengers receive the shot.

He's probably also going to launch a vaxxpassport system.

Hopefully most of the states will ignore him.

The real fun begins if/when SCOTUS confirms POTATUS's authority to pull these stunts and normally law-abiding states are left with the choice of compliance with the flagrantly unconstitutional and immoral orders or rebelling.

Winter of death. That is not how a leader speaks to the people. He should be impeached for that speech alone.

The ramifications of that would be massive. I will lose my shit if he does.

You know you have a shitty leader when you always get a real sense of foreboding when it is announced that he is scheduled to talk. That's because he is not a leader. He is a heavy handed tyrant which is what we have.

As a virus Omicron seems fairly benign. It's a risk people seem willing to accept. The fear level is dropping. So dear leader has to hype it to 11.

This “winter of death for the unvaxxed” ought to be fun!
