    Boogaloo, I don’t know what you were trying yesterday, but this will never work:

    Okay, I am trying to post two images from the weekly report posted on the Korea CDC website. If this works, I will comment in the next post.

    First:
    “img src=”//” alt=”ILI Surveillance” /”

    Second:
    “img src=”//” alt=”Confirmed Influenza” /”

    Of course, the first and last ” must be a < and >, but it won’t show anything in a comment without substituting them.

    Like wise for this code: “img src=”http://www.kdca.go.kr/board/board.es?mid=a30504000000&bid=0033http://” alt=”Weekly Report” /”

    A jpg file will have to end in .jpg.

    They’re killing off your culture. You’re being cancelled.

    Raul, re this and your previous post. I was in a classroom last month, filled with 5th graders. The class notes said that the leader for the day would lead in the flag,salute, and, If I chose to, the class could then sing along with a “patriotic song” chosen from her play list. I chose “Yankee Doodle Dandy”. Not to be mean, but, well, maybe. Fifth graders and Yankee Doodle Dandy? In this day and age?

    They sang. They knew the words by heart. All 5 verses! I didn’t know there were five verses! I was expecting Jimmy Cagney to burst through the classroom door and dance across their desktops. I had tears in my eyes when they finished.

    Their conduct was deplorable. See what I just did there? Heh,heh.

    There are some teachers and a school keeping our culture alive. I can attest to that.

    mRNA vaccines may sound like a great new breakthrough but it is also worth remembering the dangers too. This would be the first use of mRNA vaccine so in theory we should proceed with extra caution…instead, it has been rushed through without the usually step of animal testing and without long term observation of human effects. And some people want to make this vaccine mandatory for everybody? That’s insanely dangerous.

    Given that an mRNA technology is basically messing with our DNA, a more prudent course would be to deploy it towards the vulnerable elderly population first. They are most vulnerable and also because of advanced age least susceptible to long term risks. Moreover, they are past child-bearing age and given that we have no idea how mRNA tinkering might play out in future generations it would again be dangerous to mandate that young healthy people accept the injection given that their immediate risk of death by cars-cov-2 is near zero and on par with traditional influenza.

    As I understand it, the Russian vaccine utilizes more traditional vaccine technology. If forced to do it, I’d much prefer to opt for the Russian version than become a guinea pig for Moderna & Pfizer’s frankenstein experimentation. But hopefully we don’t reach the tyranny of forced immunizations.

    Oh…and Bongo Biden is genius ! Need more of that.

    Tutorial question, anyone.

    When I try to link something this is what I do: I type a sentence “Here’s another try to link something.”
    I highlight the word “something”. I press link in the comment menu. The window comes up. I paste the url in the window and press “add link”.
    The comment window shows code in my sentence where the word “something” was. I hit submit and the comment disappears.

    Okay. I just watched Klaus Schwab tell us that there will be a cyberattack which will dwarf the virus in its dire implications.
    Is Schwab for real? Central casting couldn’t have come up with a better villain- I half expect his artificial hand to try to choke him, a la Dr. Strangelove.
    Meanwhile, on Deagel, he feels there will be a nuclear war in the coming decade. US is still on track to lose 70% of its population. I get the feeling he thinks the virus has shown the US to be a silly, addlepated, authoritarian culture which will make easy pickings for an aggressor.

    Powell says that the servers in Germany were indeed seized, but she can’t say if it was by the “good guys” or the “bad guys”.

    I would prefer to opt out of all of the vaccines.

    “The whole culture of demonizing anything Russian or Chinese is endangering us.
    Strange silence in the west about Chinese and Russian vaccines.”

    “Until now, all our progress, from research to clinical trials to production and emergency use, we have been leading the world,” Liu Jingzhen,
    China has officially surpassed Russia in the vaccination race,
    Russian President Vladimir Putin even claimed earlier this year that one of his adult daughters had been inoculated in one of the early-stage trials for the vaccine developed by the Gamaleya Institute.

    Turkey will be the second buyer of Chinese vaccines, after Brazil.

    Meanwhile in the USA, the dollar speaks the loudest

    Demand is highest for nurses, who make up the largest part of the clinical workforce. As a result, pay rates are increasing for those willing to travel to areas with the highest demand. Aftosmes said some hospitals are paying as much as $80 to $150 an hour to fill nursing positions. The typical hourly wage for registered nurses is about $35.

    Thanks for Bongo Biden/Groovy Trump/Cool Cat video.

    LOVE the Art of Sound – or is it the Sound of Art video as well. There is a whole gallery of his work hanging in the background. Amazing. Reminds me of the sound/water crystals art from Dr. Emoto.

    Am I the only one struggling with the Paul Klee art? (Not in a bad way, just noticing discomfort). First it was the colors – as those peach blue-grey pieces were unsettling, the detail interesting and complex. And then the very intense GREEN background holding the almost primitive blue-eyed Soul. Today heavy black outlines and contrast producing a distinct feeling of being trapped in the past. The art is succeeding or dare I say WINNING me over!

    What do the Russian vaccine (Sputnik V), the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine, the Moderna vaccine, and the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine all have in common? They all introduce some Covid-19 spike protein genetic material into the body.

    The Russian vaccine uses an adenovirus vector (and DNA) to deliver the genetic material. So does the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine. “The Russian vaccine is based on two human adenovirus vectors (Ad5 and Ad26), whereas the Oxford vaccine uses a chimp [adenovirus] vector (ChAdOx).”

    The Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines use mRNA to get the spike protein genetic material into the body. This involves “the use of lipid nanoparticle envelopes to deliver the mRNA cytoplasmically, i.e. directly into the cell.”

    Both of these approaches (viral vectors using DNA, and mRNA delivered with lipid nanoparticles) involve some tradeoffs.

    Both approaches have had limited success as vaccine platforms, and neither is currently approved for use as a vaccine. They both depend on nucleic acids that encode the target antigen, but differ in their delivery. Viral vectors can enter the cell using viral mechanisms, allowing for high-fidelity production of antigens. However, they can also cause immunogenic responses, or cancers if they adhere to the wrong genes. mRNA delivery depends on the use of lipid nanoparticle envelopes to deliver the mRNA cytoplasmically, i.e. directly into the cell.

    LNP [Lipid NanoParticle] delivery is a more novel technique, which currently cannot match the cellular adhesion efficiency of the long-evolved mechanisms employed by viruses. However, once inside the cell mRNA is capable of being directly translated in the cytoplasm, whereas DNA plasmids must be translated via the nucleus back to the cytoplasm. This allows mRNA to produce more antigens from smaller doses, but DNA tends to produce a longer-lasting antigenic effect.

    Did Mnuchin Shoot Powell In The Back?
    “Treasury Secretary Mnuchin upset the markets yesterday when he announced that a number of the Fed’s special lending facilities should be terminated by the end of the year.”
    ” … the urgency of a new fiscal stimulus package, “unfortunately, Congress goes on vacation next week. Probably tired from doing nothing the past six months, at least when measured in terms of providing additional fiscal stimulus. On top of that, the Treasury Secretary wants his money back from the Fed.”

    In this context of slowing growth, Mnuchin requested the expiration of the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Municipal Lending Facility, the Main Street Lending Program, and the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility by December 31.
    At the same time, he wants the Commercial Paper Funding Facility, the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, and the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility be kept in place for an additional 90 days. (Close to 20 Jan2021)
    Moreover, she adds, terminating the programs on Dec. 31 means they may be tougher to restart under the new Biden Administration 20 days later. New funds will need Congressional authorization, though JPMorgan’s Mike Feroli said the incoming Treasury Secretary could agree to restart the facilities with pre-CARES Act cash available in the department’s Exchange Stabilization Fund, which he puts at just over $70 billion. ( sorry, he wants any cash not spent returned. Door to corporate welfare being closed. No more fed. republican money for the democrats (Nancy, Biden))

    Covid-19 vaccine side effects?

    This summer, Luke Hutchison, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology–educated computational biologist, volunteered for a trial of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. After he got the second injection, his arm immediately swelled up to the size of a “goose egg,” Hutchison says. He can’t be sure he got the vaccine and not a placebo, but within a few hours, the healthy then-43-year-old was beset by bone and muscle aches and a 38.9°C fever that felt, he says, “unbearable.” “I started shaking. I had cold and hot rushes,” he says. “I was sitting by the phone all night long thinking: ‘Should I call 911?’”

    Hutchison’s symptoms resolved after 12 hours. But, he says, “Nobody prepared me for the severity of this.” He says the public should be better prepared than he was, because a subset of people may face intense, if transient, side effects, called reactogenicity, from Moderna’s vaccine. Some health experts agree.

    “Somebody needs to address the elephant: What about vaccine reactogenicity?…

    Fewer than 2% of recipients of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines developed severe fevers of 39°C to 40°C. But if the companies win U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals, they’re aiming to supply vaccine to 35 million people in the United States by the end of December. If 2% experienced severe fever, that would be 700,000 people.

    Other transient side effects would likely affect even more people. The independent board that conducted the interim analysis of Moderna’s huge trial found that severe side effects included fatigue in 9.7% of participants, muscle pain in 8.9%, joint pain in 5.2%, and headache in 4.5%. For the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, the numbers were lower: Severe side effects included fatigue (3.8%) and headache (2%).

    That’s a higher rate of severe reactions than people may be accustomed to. “This is higher reactogenicity than is ordinarily seen with most flu vaccines, even the high-dose ones,” says Arnold Monto, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

    Low-hanging fruit. We’ve been warned (more or less correctly) for decades of cyberattack prospects. In a way, we rehearsed the concept via Y2K. Whether we do it “to ourselves” or foreign entities do, hardly matters. An enemy is an enemy, and our government long ago became our enemy. Not sure I can think of a time when I’d call it a friend, either.

    Fox’s @KristinFisher: “So much of what Giuliani said was simply not true”

    We know this for a fact because we can prove a negative, and we haven’t looked and never will. QED.

    So they wanted a conference because they kept saying “without evidence” when there’s never been more evidence of a crime in the last 200 years. So they presented the intent of the case, however, to a court and public well-engineered these last 200 years to be the cast of “Idiocracy.”
    “How come ya got no evidence n’ s—t?”

    “Um, because we don’t give evidence and try the case in the MEDIA we give evidence and try cases in COURT, you morons.” To the usual jeers such as: “I’ll evidence my foot up your -ss,” and, “Your honor, I object that his hair looks stupid.”

    “Why didn’t ya’ll tell us exactly what you’re doing and who’s kids in Michigan we need to threaten to kill – on camera — to change the vote. I mean duh.”

    …Yeah. Idiocracy was not an instruction manual. The ACTUAL instruction manual describes how to log in an admin in 60 seconds, then drag-and-drop the Trump votes to the Recycle Bin. No joke. But there was no need. Voter Monitor on record as saying the machines were always online to the internet, and Dominion’s top execs were on site in Detroit to make sure everything went correctly.

    Anyway, who cares? We’re all on the crazy train now and can’t jump off at this speed. It’s going where it’s going: USSC, then House of Reps.

Always a new excuse to hand “bailout” or “Stimulus” money to golfing pals, and shut off gas and home heating oil in Fargo. …We’ll just do it for no reason at all! Like we did Flint’s water!

    But in this case: Protesters are amazingly adherent to locations that cities wish to erase and urban-redevelop. If elsewhere Lo! The police can stop them! If in these areas bought or wanted to buy by BlackRock billionaires, Lo! Riots and Arson with chiseled umbrella-toting-gym-rats smashing windows “on behalf” of the community.

    Part 3: Profit! That’s here: AFTER you have the maniacs you either allowed or salted in burn down the neighborhood you want to buy, THEN you have “Biden et Co., Worldwide LLC” use tax dollars to “Rebuild”! …Rebuild your own stolen house and business, now owned by billionaires that used to be owned by you, small business, AND using your, small business-destroyed tax dollars.

    It’s a story as old as the United States itself. Which is fair, because we got it from Europe, where it harks back as far as the Domus Aurea, 64AD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domus_Aurea It just Haaaaaaaaapened that all the land Nero wanted and was owned by his competitors and rich Senators, all just burned down in a city fire. Happens all the time! Especially to Italians.

    So you want to know where your money went, why there’s no healthcare, you’ve been evicted, and you’re in a 10-mile food line while living in your Chrysler, you’re welcome.

    I even did it in picture form.

    Unscientific? Insanely dangerous? Totally that is what we’re going to do. Without asking. Or shoot arrest you in front of your kids. mRNA re-writes your DNA? Yeah, might want to Google boards who are a lot less trusting as to the bad, even inhuman, plans they are concerned will result from a vaccine that rewrites human DNA. Sounds far-out until you listen to 10 minutes of Klaus Schwab’s public speeches.

    What was that Rev 6:8 yesterday? Might want to finish the book. Then unlike “Idiocracy”, prevent it for once. There’s still time.

    After the mainstream press accused the Trump Administration of trying to “sabotage” the Biden Administration by closing out a handful of Fed lending programs that were seeded with money from the Treasury earlier this year, Secretary Mnuchin appeared on CNBC Friday morning for a lengthy phone interview with Jim Cramer. Mnuchin requested the expiration of the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Municipal Lending Facility, the Main Street Lending Program, and the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility by December 31.

    More of us offended by your censorship’: BBC slammed online for editing out ‘derogatory’ words in popular Christmas song.

    https://www.rt.com/uk/507171-bbc-edits-christmas-song-fairytale/

    All this banning of some words, aka linguistic policing, damning even some words comedic, ironic or ‘quoted’ uses, etc. as being ‘racist’ or ‘harmful’ or ‘illegitimate,’ even ‘dangerous’ etc. is an effort at censorship and control, in an area where it very easy to do. Can’t break my bones is denied.

    Promulgating or demanding the use of Politically Correct Language has been a smooth avenue for the overlords since ..? It signals a fear of open speech, a submissiveness easily encouraged, an open avenue for demonising, denoucing, those who use ‘nefarious words’ or ‘insults’ aka who voice, transmit unwelcome, contesting, radical, opposing, etc. messages.

    The trick is that the condemnation is focussed on the form, which ppl should *fear*, ex. using the n-word is like a bomb, leading to banning. Thereby to obscure, denigrate, or dismiss, the substance.

    In the article, justification is, because its young listeners are particularly sensitive to derogatory terms for gender and sexuality! – what a joke.

    We live in a strange world where minority activists campaign for commercial euthanasia: a world in which a select number of elected and unelected individuals dictate that 100 per cent of us are not allowed the liberty of taking the 0.06 per cent risk of a cost-free, natural death from a respiratory illness (a very common terminal event) at an average age of 82 years old. This is utter insanity while younger, fitter people commit suicide at rising rates under repressive lockdown restrictions, economies collapse, and other debilitating diseases continue to crush, kill and incapacitate the other 99.94 per cent..”

    VACCINE

    Hungary was looking to source vaccine from Russia and China. The EU informed them that only EU approved vaccines could be used and that did NOT include Russian and Chinese vaccines!

    What still isn’t clear to me is how effective the vaccines will be : various reports suggest the antibodies will disappear in 2 to 6 months. I think I read that at least some vaccines can only be used once.

    It worries me that AstraZeneca have demanded legal immunity against being sued for side-effects. Not sure if other companies require the same immunity.

    Hopefully the vaccines will be used first on all members of the government(s) and their families.

    Having been out of touch with the world by going to the cottage, i missed most of the presidential election madness.

    Now that I am reconnected to the internet, I have some questions about what really happened.

    Trump supposedly increased his vote count by over 10 million from 2016 with increases in every group, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc. Trump was met by large crowds everywhere he went.

    Biden supposedly hid in his basement, did very little campaigning, was never met by any crowds at all, never generated any voter excitement, never inspired any campaign volunteers, yet easily managed to surpass Obama’s vote totals and increased total US voter turnout from the usual 60% to 72%!

    I get that US elections are always rigged.

    Mark Twain complained over a 100 years ago about how the dead rose to vote on election night. He also said the proper way to bury a Democrat was face down so that on election night, they would dig themselves deeper and not be able to vote on election night.

    As Stalin said it only matters who does the counting. Mark Twain refers to election “night” not “day” for a good reason! The real action on voting day occurs at “night”!

    I was on the phone with my mom last night. My cousin (mid-40s F, dad’s side) is self-inflicted T2 diabetic, very bad (other immediate family likewise). A few days ago she suffered kidney failure. Time for dialysis. But there’s a catch. The hospital has taken no action yet because “…we need the space for COVID patients.”

    So, a kind, dog-loving, food-cooking person who is now critically dancing on Death’s fuzzy doormat will exit this world much sooner.

    But “…we need the space for COVID patients.” And my mom spit this out like it was the most normal and rational thing in the world. I wanted to punch a hole through my wall when I heard her say that.

    Also, re: mRNA anything – We don’t have the technical chops to use it safely. We are a long way from that point. The reason they are all gooey over mRNA is because it really is the ‘holy grail’ of genetic engineering. There are 2 very good Niven stories on RNA: The Fourth Profession (somewhat optimistic and fantasy, quite funny) and World Out Of Time (near-future dystopia, The State controls everything, defrosts frozen convicts as needed and ‘re-educates’ them with RNA pills).

    Lastly, Bill Gates is a eugenicist of software, leaving a trail of broken and burned projects wherever he sllithers. I have little doubt that this attitude colors his other ‘human relations’ activities.

    Thomas: So sorry to hear about your Mother. She is in a no win situation just as both of my parents were with cancer. Maybe what your Mother said is just her way of putting on a brave face to deal with the current (un)reality.

    Unfortunately it seems politicians everywhere need to do “something ” even if it is to make a bad situation even worst.

    My wife just informed me that Ontario has issued a total lock down for Toronto due to the virus. They are concerned that the virus will overload their government run health care system! So we all have to pay for their incompetence!

    “…federal law protects vaccine makers from product-liability lawsuits that are filed in state courts and seek damages for injuries or death attributed to a vaccine
    “…the Supreme Court explained that the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA or Act) preempts all design-defect claims against vaccine manufacturers brought by plaintiffs seeking compensation for injury or death caused by a vaccine’s side effects.
    “This conclusion is supported by the fact that, although products-liability law establishes three grounds for liability—defective manufacture, inadequate directions or warnings, and defective design—the Act mentions only manufacture and warnings. It thus seems that the Act’s failure to mention design-defect liability is “by deliberate choice, not inadvertence.”

    This is from “The Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Protecting Vaccine Makers from State Lawsuits” from the website (dotcom) policymed , updated may 2018.

    Mr. House- yes, Klaus is 100% doom and shining gloom.

    Greetings,

    A quick glance at human History shows those imposing the most insane and inane measures invariably fall prey of their own hubris; I know this is small comfort, vis-à-vis the orders of magnitude of sheer misery they spread around – you will have to forgive me: small comfort’s all there is now on offer.

    ‘Humour’

    For a while now political ‘humour’ has devolved to comedians saying untrue, unflattering and unfunny things about Trump [round of cheers and applause].

    If Trump goes what happens to them? They may have to start being funny! However there are so many things you are no longer allowed to joke about they may find it a struggle.
