Thanks for the good homework, good writing and good perspective, Polemos. What you wrote is complimentary to what I wrote to Noirette about inflammatory conditions and COVID-19 risk factors for morbidity/mortality.
“General health” turns out to involve a whole lot of specifics.“Harmonizing Concepts” post is up, with a photo of our first developing stalk of (Nam Wah) bananas.
Some redundancy with TAE (sorry). https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/harmonizing-conceptsThe unifying theme, if any, to the news links today is that we are in a world undergoing rapid change, after three centuries of industrialization driven by fossil fuels, mining, and advances in mechanical, then electrical and electronic technology. Our human numbers are multiplied by ten in that time, while the number of wild animals is much less than a tenth of what it was. The climate of earth is different, and changing, and there is a lot of pollution of many kinds, including in our processed foods.
I am not scare-mongering about climate and pollution. We just need to cope and adapt.
When we look at geological epochs, inhabited by life-forms, we see that mammals are pretty adaptable. We are unusually adaptable mammals.
What we may rightly fear is that a lot of us won’t make the transition. None of us lives very long, but we don’t want to freeze and starve to death or be murdered in war. The elites of human societies walk upon a raft of the rest of us, who are treading water. Their interests naturally differ from our interests. They want to walk, not to tread-water.
As our interests diverge, we must look to our own near term and longer term survival within a new context of less energy and more localization. We have the same human needs. We need to secure the means of providing our food, water, shelter, fuel and community.
The elites control us through narratives which are usually false, or at least misleading. We see that in the COVID-pandemic control-narratives, which did not beat the pandemic, but actually increased human deaths, denying effective antiviral treatments, then pushing “vaccines” which kill more than save.
We now see Nuclear War as the next control-narrative. It’s powerful and desperate, very risky, but the real war is the war of financial systems, between the western banking and military system, which shifted to the $US around WW-2. The new competitor, the BRICS system, is not based upon debt, but upon physical goods: oil, gold, wheat and other-commodities. A debt based monetary system requires trust that debts will be repaid, which is evaporating. There is fear of reprisal for leaving the system, but the Russian army going against NATO forces in Syria, now Ukraine, is reducing that concern. It is a critical last stand for the $US empire. Russia must be openly punished to sustain the western financial system. Tributary countries are already quietly backing away…I’m getting rejections from the upload system:
Invalid user name, invalid email, unable to upload trio each time…This detailed essay looks at each aspect of the current wars of global reset, which I briefly alluded to in the introduction.
I pick one excerpt about the financial warfare between American and European banking interests, which is not much discussed.
US banking and economy profit greatly from reserve-currency status, a cornucopia of free(ish) stuff from the whole world.
Whichever side is losing or winning should consider a deal with the BRICS system, ahead of the competing western-banking interests. Europe is now a banking-war zone.
The Many Interwoven ‘Wars’ – A Rough Guide Through the Fog , Alastair Crooke
The Fed may keep raising rates for some time – even at the price of some market, hedge fund and small business collapse. Powell has the support of certain big New York banks who see the writing on the wall for the liberal-woke model: An end to their banking business as bailouts go digital and are paid straight into claimants’ bank accounts (as Governor Lael Brainard has proposed).
Powell says little (he is likely to stay clear of partisan U.S. politics at this sensitive moment).
The Fed however, may be attempting to implement a contrarian, controlled demolition of the U.S. bubble-economy, orientated precisely to haul America back onto more traditional financial tracks. To break the ‘leveraged-asset culture’ … You begin to resolve the huge societal inequality divide that the Fed has helped create, through QE facilitating giant asset bubbles … You begin to rejuvenate an American economy by ending the distortions. You dissipate the urge toward civil war because the issue no longer becomes just between ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’.
This vision may itself be a tad utopian, yet break the ‘everything bubble’, break the leverage culture, and it stops the ratchetting extreme of bubble beneficiaries versus 18 straight months of U.S. falling real wages.
But … but this is only possible if nothing systemic breaks.I am told that the US military has taken their important chip manufacturing lines out of Taiwan already this summer, and that critical Taiwanese manufacturing plants have been prepared for quick explosive demolition by company workers, which would avoid civilian casualties from American military attacks to deny them to China in the event of invasion.
Other critical manufacturing lines may move to the US, Japan, even India, but the global monopoly on chip manufacturing, which is embodied in TSMC cannot move. It is a uniquely Taiwanese manufacturing economy and global supply chain node.
As of right now, the West’s goal is to break up Taiwan’s chip hub, though, as we noted earlier, TSMC’s Chang warned that any such move would fail.
However, TSMC customers are already looking to diversify production out of the region, as explained by Sebastian Hou, managing director at Neuberger Berman, an investment management company:
”There have been some concerns among TSMC customers since two years ago … It was the time when in Taiwan we started to have more fighter jets from China hovering around the Taiwan Strait, and that has become a daily routine.”
So far, those customers include Qualcomm and Nvidia, who have recently stated that some chip production from TSMC’s facilities would be shifted elsewhere.
Hanbury said the big question would be if Apple changes manufacturing partners due to the increasing risks in the Taiwan Strait.
”Taiwan’s monopoly in semiconductor production creates instability,” Brad Martin, director of the National Security Supply Chain Institute at the Rand Corporation, said. “If the US is faced with a need to make a decision between protecting its economy and defending Taiwan, that starts to become a very stark decision.”

This Biden-corruption may be the point around which a transfer of power may be negotiated after US midterms.
It is feasible to scapegoat the Biden family for “mistakes made” and have a national policy pivot away from so many currently failing policies. This cannot actually happen without so many special-interests and deep-state players getting taken-care-of that it is hard to envision. Still, in history changes do come, and they tend to come in big packages after a long period of systemic stagnation, so it would be timely. A power-transition can’t happen without a lot of serious deal-making, and some losers. Nobody wants to lose.

There is a lot of useful information integrated into this work of revelatory insight.
The Great Cycle of Earth’s Forests
A forest is a magnificent, structured, and functional entity where the individual elements — trees — work together to ensure the survival of the ensemble. Each tree pumps water and nutrients all the way to the crown by the mechanism called evapotranspiration. The condensation of the evaporated water triggers the phenomenon called the “biotic pump” that benefits all the trees by pumping water from the sea. Each tree pumps down the carbohydrates it manufactures using photosynthesis to its mycorrhizal space, the underground system of roots and fungi that extracts mineral nutrients for the tree. The whole “rhizosphere” — the root space — forms a giant brain-like network that connects the trees to each other, sometimes termed “the Wood Wide Web.” It is an optimized environment where almost everything is recycled...

Meanwhile in covidian cult land –
CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted unanimously on Thursday to add COVID shots to its recommended schedule of vaccinations for children and adults.
The vaccine schedule now calls for children to begin Covid mRNA shots when they are 6 months old. After a brief comment period, the panel of medical specialists voted with 15 in favor and none against.
6 months old – murderous. “My Body My Choice” for Liberals I guess. Abortions on demand, forced injections into babies, drag queen story time for adolescents, sex mutilations for teens…
Biden gets new COVID vaccine, announces new virus initiatives–
In the coming weeks, Walgreens will team up with DoorDash and Uber “to provide free delivery of prescriptions of Paxlovid, an oral COVID-19 treatment, directly to the doorsteps of Americans living in underserved communities,” the White House said.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will launch what the Biden administration is calling the “#VaxUpAmerica Family Vaccine Tour,” with pop-up COVID-19 vaccination events — including at the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship in Arizona next month — and the distribution of vaccination “toolkits” to daycares, nursing homes, community health centers and other locations. The Biden administration will also encourage schools, businesses and other organizations around the country to host their own vaccination events, according to the White House.

Cognitive dissonance and brainwashing runs deep with the cowards.It wasn’t until I read Richard Powers’ The Overstory that I learned how much of the animal biomass on the earth are the cultivated animals humans eat and not the wild ones I used to think were “out there” in the wild. It’s an amazing story, very well-written and mind-expanding, and ends in a place I recognize as dawning upon us in a dangerous way. (A part of the march of technological progress: tools enabling humanity to listen to those they didn’t know had voices. Another part: means to silence and render voiceless those others)
Another paper to examine:
“The biomass distribution on Earth”Today, the biomass of humans (≈0.06 Gt C; SI Appendix, Table S9) and the biomass of livestock (≈0.1 Gt C, dominated by cattle and pigs; SI Appendix, Table S10) far surpass that of wild mammals, which has a mass of ≈0.007 Gt C (SI Appendix, Table S11). This is also true for wild and domesticated birds, for which the biomass of domesticated poultry (≈0.005 Gt C, dominated by chickens) is about threefold higher than that of wild birds (≈0.002 Gt C; SI Appendix, Table S12). In fact, humans and livestock outweigh all vertebrates combined, with the exception of fish. Even though humans and livestock dominate mammalian biomass, they are a small fraction of the ≈2 Gt C of animal biomass, which primarily comprises arthropods (≈1 Gt C; SI Appendix, Tables S13 and
S14), followed by fish (≈0.7 Gt C; SI Appendix, Table S15).—those are units “gigatons of carbon”, where a gigaton is 10^15g of C. Pretty wild insight.
And now for something completely different. Germ’s posting regarding the sudden cardiac event of Ashton Carter connects in my speculative mode with the long-standing fact that the CIA and other national-criminal-intelligence operations sought to disable targets through means indistinguishable from heart attacks. Not that I’m saying someone assassinated Carter, but it suddenly occurs to me that in a situation where larger numbers of people are more frequently “dying suddenly” is both accepted (as reality) and unacceptable (to talk about, like with the Emperor’s nakedness), it’s entirely possible to start disappearing all the influential people —especially the “little people” with strong social connections in various communities— you do not want standing in the way of your criminal intelligence operations. They’ll “die suddenly” in the midst of their ordinary, struggling lives, and those who could make the right connections will immediately latch onto “See! Another convid death jabbed, vax shed tragedy!” and Look No Further because they’ve confirmed their working model, and those who could receive those tight connections will immediately lament the death and Look No Further from subliminal fear about learning anymore of the suppressed truths, what it means for their own struggling health. And were an autopsy done that shows it wasn’t vax shed death jab, but a regular ol’ heart attack, a sudden event of inexplicable sorrow? —the connector doubles-down and cites the conspiracy to hide jab deaths; the conformer doubles-down and cites the science so recently adopted. And the criminal intelligence operation carries on, boots already laced and stamping down faces.
An Agatha Christie story, writ large. I know I’m not the only one who watched the recent Marvel movies and noticed that Hydra, having collected together all of the informational access available to them, figured out all the right people to kill using the weapons the “good guys” built to fight terrorists. I keep coming back to a favorite, Chapter 10: “Broken Suitcases” or “Cutting Open Satchels”
In taking precautions against thieves who cut open satchels, search bags, and break open boxes, people are sure to cord and fasten them well, and to employ strong bonds and clasps; and in this they are ordinarily said to show their wisdom. When a great thief comes, however, he shoulders the box, lifts up the satchel, carries off the bag, and runs away with them, afraid only that the cords, bonds, and clasps may not be secure; and in this case what was called the wisdom (of the owners) proves to be nothing but a collecting of the things for the great thief.
Let me try and set this matter forth. Do not those who are vulgarly called wise prove to be collectors for the great thieves? And do not those who are called sages prove to be but guardians in the interest of the great thieves? How do I know that the case is so?
Formerly, in the state of Qi, the neighbouring towns could see one another; their cocks and dogs never ceased to answer the crowing and barking of other cocks and dogs (between them). The nets were set (in the water and on the land); and the ploughs and hoes were employed over more than a space of two thousand li square. All within its four boundaries, the establishment of the ancestral temples and of the altars of the land and grain, and the ordering of the hamlets and houses, and of every corner in the districts, large, medium, and small, were in all particulars according to the rules of the sages. So it was; but yet one morning, Tian Cheng-zi killed the ruler of Qi, and stole his state. And was it only the state that he stole? Along with it he stole also the regulations of the sages and wise men (observed in it).
And so, though he got the name of being a thief and a robber, yet he himself continued to live as securely as Yao and Shun had done. Small states did not dare to find fault with him; great states did not dare to take him off; for twelve generations (his descendants) have possessed the state of Qi. Thus do we not have a case in which not only did (the party) steal the state of Qi, but at the same time the regulations of its sages and wise men, which thereby served to guard the person of him, thief and robber as he was?This also links back to the Adam Curtis documentary I linked to before, Can’t Get You Out of My Head. Near the end, Curtis brings into his beautiful narrative the story how September 11 gifted a struggling run-from-the-garage Google and the criminal intelligence operation with a marriage made in death. Suddenly, having intimate knowledge of people’s habits and automatic behaviors in “gathering information” (just being themselves) was a necessity in discerning where the next terrorist event was going to happen.
So, we are at a time when sudden deaths of influential people fit into pre-established narratives, further canalizing people’s thinking and responding into pre-determined acceptable routes. Your Good Guy Team brooks no nuance, no dissent: look how easily people write off this weirdo precisely because he doesn’t fit either side —he’s instantly on the enemy’s side. You will see from “the Left” and from “the Right”, from the people punching Up and the people stomping Down, because no one wants to hear nonsense masquerading as wisdom. “We’re all benevolent and righteous in here.” Yet they are dying, silently or on stages, in videos closed in circuits or broadcast live, like candles in churches pinched in shadows.Noirette said
Stats clearly show that in the USA, being black (vs. white) means you are likely to suffer more medical issues (many undiagnosed, untreated, ignored..imho) and, certainly, as all stats show, to die *far earlier* than whites.
Okay, for the sake of this discussion I will assume that this is a fact. See, you have just done what I said. You state the fact that black people die young using statistics. Why is your fact true and my fact not true?
Is this the result of black skin or black hair or black genes? I don’t think even aspnaz would say so. The causes are clearly broadly sociological, higher poverty rates, less med. insurance / coverage, jobs that expose them to more risk, living in bad conditions, poorer diet, etc. The cause is historical, not part of the decription of the present. (Slavery, prejudice, etc.) No med. rationale exists.
Now you state your theory as to the causes. The causes are a whole different discussion, but the fact is the result of an analysis of statistics, the statistics tell you what is happening, they do not tell you why. The reality is that fat people suffer more medical issues and die earlier, whether you like that fact or not is kind of irrelevant. Why that happens to fat people is also kind of irrelevant to the fact that it does happen.
I asked a serious question yesterday, apparently it didn’t even warrant even a passing comment/insult:
I’m curious what the TAE commentariat postulates is/are the “symptom of a broader issue(s)”?
Possible pathognomonic/correlation?
I await TAE’s careful, measured response ~ I will not comment further (on this topic, was interested in others’ take on the matter)…
Well, I see the usual gabfest is in full swing, interspersed with the usual *SPAM* self-obsessed opinions, rants, reposting, approval seeking noise & warmonger titillations 😐
There is also that flat out ribald comments from certain recent TAE regulars, who apparently due to popularity get a pass for their unseemly behavior…
Perhaps, most TAE regulars just skim the punditry & bypass certain posters altogether, as I began to do 6+ months ago ~ I’ll just serenely accept that I too have achieved persona non grata parameters, I am more & more aware that serious discussion that was once a hallmark on TAE has attained the echo chamber/book burning phenom of social media…
Here’s a thought for all you bellicose war hawks:
Gerald the Fearless ~ He was a man of rank, who, in order to avoid the legal punishment to which several crimes rendered him obnoxious, put himself at the head of a party of freebooters.
Tiring, however, of that life, he resolved to reconcile himself to his sovereign by some noble action.
Full of this idea, one evening he entered Évora, which then belonged to the Moors. In the night he killed the sentinels of one of the gates, which he opened to his companions, who soon became masters of the place.
This exploit had its desired effect. The king pardoned Gerald, and made him governor of Évora.
A knight (legalized psychopath) with a sword in one hand, and two heads in the other, from that time became the armorial bearing of the city.
P.S. Excessive body fat percentage is a known medical precursor to many illnesses (including compromised immunity status), primarily due to excessive inflammation within multiple bodily systems ~ Back when when the C19 bioweapon was all-the-rage on TAE, we purviewed innumerous studies, papers & publications that examined/cautioned inherent risks involved with obesity, appertaining C19, just one of the EG0ic/Spiritual maladies rampant in The West 😐
Noirette said
What is the medical explanation, beyond the social stereotype? That is what I meant was missing.
Understand. Despite exercising every day, I am overweight mostly (I guess) because I am a beer drinker. I eat well – no processed food – and am fit and yes, I can hike up a mountain but will not win any running races. But, I also recognise that my beer gut may well do me in. There is no point in hiding from the reality that I have a higher chance of death if my BMI is too high. I do not have a problem with people chosing to be fat, what I do have a problem with is said fat people (like me) preaching to others about their health (telling us to care about our health when they appear to not hold health as a priority) and/or denying the reality. Denial just encourages others to not take responsibility for their weight, that is a bad thing to do, in my opinion.
Recorded sudden deaths of Russian health professionals.

Just prior to the opening of the 20th Party Congress there was a public denunciation of the government’s failure to correct its zero-Covid policies. On October 13th two banners were unfurled at Beijing’s Sitong Overpass and a smoking fire was set to attract attention. The banners were accompanied by a loudspeaker demanding a change of government. The description of the current officeholder as a 国贼 (guózéi, meaning country + thief) was not very flattering.
The first banner read:
We want food, not PCR tests
Freedom, not lockdowns
Dignity, not lies
Reform, not cultural revolution
Elections, not rulers
To be a citizen is to cease being a slave

“Do you have to make your own model of “reality”?
I find that just about everybody else’s predictions of the war situation have been so wrong I now prefer to do my own analysis mostly based on historical events. The simplified story is this , Russia want to expand and maintain it’s empire , it’s own build back better . The West wants to expand and maintain it’s empire . This has been happening for millenia.
The present events are the results of passed events. To understand the present events one must look at that past. So I look at the past and draw conclusions about the present and future. I find it appalling how so many people on all sides of the situation just listen to the commentators that meet their own biases and then grovel and thank them about how wonderful and enlightening there analysis is without ever offering any thoughts or ideas of their own. If my analysis proves wrong then I will go with the facts, I like to ask questions and then wait for the answers to materialise. Can Russia win , whatever winning is , I don’t know , I have been putting up comments as to what might be in play , what might influence the result , let’s watch and see.
If TAE was the opposite to what it is now , if it was totally pro-west , I would probably be putting up pro-Russian comments.
Regarding your comments about the moral superiority of the BRICS , I see South Africa and China as some of the most morally bankrupt countries in the world. Recently half of the country , SA ,went on a murderous riot , looting and pillaging because it’s leader was busted for stealing billions of dollars. They were protesting FOR him , not against him . Murder of whites is now government sanctioned and violent crime is through the roof . What is there about that that we should want to emulate?
Do you think that Chinese are more free than Americans or Australians? I think you along with many TAE folk digest way too much ant-western propaganda on a daily basis . The West is not perfect but I would not swap my bolthole here for one in South Africa , China or Brazil or that shit-hole India where a billion people still shit outside in the parks and beaches and roads daily.
The BRICS people are still fighting to migrate West , not the other way around. The fact that those countries have not been warring and building an empire like the West is , is because they have no capability to do it , not that they would not if they could.
That is exactly why the BRICS exist to form a power block of their own . If they thought they could build an empire as individual countries like Russia and China are trying to do , they would already be doing that. To think otherwise is naive and childlike in my opinion.The world has always been like it is now with wars and shit coming down but now is still the best of times.Stop thieves from stealing your merchandise and protect your sales people.

Redneck said
If my analysis proves wrong then I will go with the facts
That is where you differ from a lot of TAE, including myself: we are struggling to determine/discover the knowable facts first then use logic to make a guess at what is happening, our analysis. Your way, look at history and see if you can guess the future, would probably be improved by including knowable facts and discarding your unknowable facts. Going with the facts only after being proven wrong seems pointless – you can’t unjab yourself, you can’t un-nuke a city – especially as I suspect you are a person loathe to admit you were ever wrong.
@Zerosum: Yes, trust is fading fast in the western debt based financial system. Ooops!
@Redneck: I did not intend to impute any moral superiority to China or South Africa, nor to India, for that matter. (You have spent more time in India than I have, but I have traveled there extensively twice.)
I did point out that the current role that the BRICS group aspires to, having a more egalitarian and fair currency, backed by gold, oil, grains and other commodities, is a better deal for those who might use it. This is the role that the $US filled after WW-2. It was all of those things and replaced the UK pound-sterling, a fiat currency for much of the period between the wars.
When a new system replaces an empire it has to offer a much better deal to participants. Darius the Persian and Alexander the Great declared all slaves to be free in the cities they besieged. Lincoln did the same, but only in the South, not the North…
I expect any new monetary regime to be corrupted in time. It’s a pattern, but it’s still a good deal when it’s new, and less neo-colonial, so still the right thing to reduce the blood-meals of the parasitic class, who thoroughly own the system by now.
I hope the human world gets a good 12-15 years of practical and efficient adaptive-change in the new financial system.
We have really been trapped in the current regime and it’s a bad time to not be able to move and change and adapt.@Zerosum: Whoopi Goldberg took some flak for comments she made in February that “The Holocaust isn’t about race”. She is black and Jewish, so I hope that approaches an answer to your question.

Think Ernst HemingwayVeracious Poet, you comment often about the egocentrism of Western people and criticize others for their self-obsessions, but then start talking about how you’re ignored and resign yourself to the inattention of others. You comment that others spam and repost repostings and won’t give into serious discussion, but you frequently post memes anyone easily finds on Facebook or Reddit were we on either while also openly stating you have no interest in reading things from others’ points of view.
This is what I observe, before I started posting and after I’ve waded in. I appreciate your perspective, and I hope you live up to the standards you hold to others. My low standard is just this: be your own. If this is who you are, please don’t take it too personally when others see you as what you are. I say this with love: notice I’m not calling you names, insulting your heritage, or mocking your style. Be your own, modeling your best. If the standards by which you judge others makes you out to be your own sort of villain, then that’s no one’s fault but . . .

Regarding the order rescinding the mandate:
Here is the ruling itself. Here’s an important section:The Mayor, in issuing Executive ORder No. 62, made a different decision for similarly situated people based on identical facts. There is nothing in the record to support the rationality of keeping a vaccination mandate for public employees, while vacating the mandate for private sector employees or creating a carveout for cerain professions, like athletes, artists, and performers. This is clearly an arbitrary and capricious action because we are dealing with identical unvaccinated people being treated differently by the same administrative agency. […]
Though not raised in the initial filing, this Court considered the fact that all but one of the Petitioners applied for exemptions from the mandate. They received generalized and vague denials. During that time their exemptions were being processed, they remained unvaccinated. There was no reason that they could not continue to submit to testing and continue to fulfill their duties as public employees. There was no reason why the City of New York could not continue with a vaccinate or test policy, like the Mayor’s Executive ORder that was issued in August 2021.
The Court finds that in light of the foregoing, the vaccination mandates for public employees and private employees is arbitrary and capricious. There was nothing demonstrated in the record as to why there was a vaccination mandate issued for only public employees in October 2021. This Court notes that Covid-19 rates were averaging under 1,500 per day in October 2021, significanly lower than today’s average Covid-19 rates. There was nothing demonstrated in the record as to why the private sector mandate was issued months later in December 2021. There was nothing demonstrated in the record as to why exemptions were issued for certain professions in March 2022 under Executive Order No. 62. There was nothing demonstrated in the record as to why employees were kept at full duty during the months-long pendency of their exemption appeals. There was nothing demonstrated in the record as to why a titer was not an acceptable alternative to vaccination, other than a single CDC study entitled “New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous Covid-19 Infection” which was issued in August 6, 2021.
Though vaccination should be encouraged, public employees should not have been terminated for their noncompliance. Over 79% of the population in New York City are vaccinated. These unvaccinated employees were kept at full duty while their exemptions were pending. Based upon the Petitioners’ vague denials of their exemptions, the fact they were kept at full duty for several months while their exemptions were pending, the Mayor’s Executive Order granting exemptions to certain classes of people, and the lifting of the private sector mandate, this Court finds the Commissioner’s Orders of October 20, 2021 and December 13, 2021, as well as the Mayor’s Executive Order No. 62 to be arbitrary and capricious.The logic of this section indicates that if NYC or any other governmental body in the District wants to instate a mandate again, then they’ll have to come down hard, fast, and unilaterally on everyone, at once, and with no exemptions, no partial duty status, and a uniform due process procedure that’s the same for everyone, public or private. As the Court notices, the (reported) rates of infection now are higher than they were when the mandate ordered all employees to “show proof of at least one dose of vaccination against Covid-19,” showing on the one hand the capriciousness of the government’s behavior but on the other lending urgency to force the mandate better. On this note, it’s worth noting that the arguments in the decision regarding the Separation of Powers indicates that the legislative path towards a vaccination mandate is wide open: New York has to enact laws either giving the Health Commissioner the authority to impose permanent conditions of employment (can’t do it under the “temporary” [Court’s emphasis in the decision] state of emergency) or making it law, not executive action, that all citizens vaccinate.

Dr D Rich, a corollary of the observation, though, is that if we’re still around to notice it, we’re not so influential as to be a threat. 😕Thanks for all the responses to my “why obese ppl > more covid bad outcomes = not solid” apsnaz, Polemos (thx for articles), Dr. Day. Still, there may be interaction(s) between phisiological processes and social ones, e.g. disaproving of ppl who have a ‘bad lifestyle’ (hating on fatties is not permitted openly in public but can act in secret, so it is couched in more roundabout terms..), or simply holding the belief that very overweight ppl are less likely to survive, as the The Science is Fixed – very creepy pronouncement – turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy, they are (were) intubated more often, written off more often, etc.
