my beloved beloved just returned from the doctor. she’s having heart problems, most likely from having been through dengue thrice, chickenpox, various northern flus, and especially, 6 weeks of covid last year.
anyhoo, she just saw a doctor at a clinic, WHO DID NOT EVEN MENTION INJECTIONS. nada, nope, niente.
there is hope.
zerosum: maybe they want to create an army of heart-broken, brain-fogged, limb-weary warriors.
i’m not cynical enough to say that a good thing because these are all people who deserve much better.
During a Covid-19 press conference,
• er, fifteen minutes of fright, you mean.NSW
• oh, no, dystopiaville!health offical
• [sick – hehehe, good one.]Jeremy McAnulty ‘misspoke’ and inferred that all Covid patients in intensive care had been vaccinated when in fact none of them had been fully vaccinated.
• er, what about the other hospitals in the other places?The video of the mistake has been widely shared on social media.
• good. these people stick their faces in our dinners everyday to tell us how awful it all is to be a happy human. tat for tit, i say.A single post on one Australian page which regularly shares vaccination misinformation
• yep, we should only listen to miss information on fully fact-chequered media sources. she knows everything.had more than 1,800 ‘interactions’, including almost 300 ‘shares’.
• ¡VIRAL!In less regulated online spaces,
• not for long.the video has been shared globally among conspiracist groups.
• enough with the clichés. it’s frickin’ annoying. let’s use some creativity, por favor.In US-based Telegram groups clips of the video have been seen tens of thousands of times across various groups.
• good.Some called it evidence the vaccine is ‘deadly gene therapy’ and ‘pure poison’.
• that’s dumb. some pollywog screwing up the night’s fifteen minutes of fright is nothing. sending my father to the hospital for 2 weeks is “pure poison”.The Guardian
• hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaalso saw posts sharing the video in Telegram pages in Europe and the UK
• good.er, i guess the joke’s not so good now that mr. delaware is the art auctioneer in chief.
yay! it’s poll* time: who is worse, mr. delaware or mr. putin’s pinocchio?
*only paper ballots, counted by hand, please.
if we have case numbers, hospitalization numbers and mortality numbers, why don’t we have covid’s mentality numbers? seems to me that the R0 would be somewhere between those of chickenpox and measles.
and what about covid’s morality numbers? just doesn’t seem very transmissible at all..
there’s no way an obesity warning will ever come out for covid. such a move would destroy one of america’s three remaining industries, highfructose hotdogs (the other two being deathmachines and financialfeverdreams).
oops, almost forgot covid, the biggest of them all.
Washington D.C., February 2nd, 2023 (AP): Representatives of Blackstonerock Group announced today the acquisition of a 66.6% share of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Distribution, thus adding to their growing portfolio of decision-making entities.
“We feel having this agency under our belt will enhance our standing in the realm of public policy, allowing Blackstonerock’s investors an even greater opportunity for substantial returns”, commented a company spokesface.
Blackstonerock’s latest takeover comes on the heels its previous purchases of Wendy’sbioNtech and the Hungarian Navy.
odd? i’ve had posts rejected with no links, no odd characters (besides the author!), short, long, no matter..
some i’ve just scrapped. others, madamski has helped with links (thanks!). some i edit, others i break up.
i always copy now before i hit submit. i am more surprised when a post goes through than not.
again, thanks for a place here. i don’t write lengthy posts with stats and facts – those areas are well covered by many excellent commentators. i do hope my approach of cynical humour adds something. every court needs a fool, for if we can’t laugh at ourselves..
¡viva los rednecks!

cross your toes!
why don’t you want ivermectin to work?
i don’t know about others, but i question the safety of the vaccines because i have seen four different people end up in the hospital, including my father who spent 2 weeks in the hospital with “pneumonia” shortly after his injections.
another man had a stroke, a 19 year-old boy spent the night for observation because of extreme pain, and another fellow’s heart issues suddenly came back after many years.
anecdotes, and so, what can i prove? it’s always just another coincidence.
honestly, would you buy a car that was associated with (anecdotally, self-reportedly) 12,000 reports of death in its first year.
well, since i scroll up, i haven’t read the rest yet, but, all my best wishes to you, deflationista, and to your mom, and any family and friends going through such a trying time.
i wonder if jeffrey epstein will be at mr. obama’s birthday shindig this year…
martha’s vineyard is named after a relative of an original saxon conquistador. i therefore propose changing the name to something more appropriate for our times, solgell island.

germ: “We’re gonna need a third arm!”
that’s what the vaccines are for. just wait. they’ll be sprouting soon, right from the left shoulder.
archie: i use some kind of “reader” plug in with my browser. it strips away all the gunk, leaving just text. and, conveniently, this plug in often jumps the paywall.
órale, tae summary. i didn’t think anybody would notice my levels of government. just excellent optimizations.
bravo.
there was an old speaker who swallowed the oil to catch the dollar to catch william jefferson clinton to catch the media to catch the electoral process to catch the ways and means committee to catch the fly to catch the flu,

hmmm, last updated pour moi, yet my post is nowhere, and it tells me i have a duplicate post.
cheque…
about that lobby popcorn – the salt just tears up your lips.
and ¿golden topping? that’s pure kompramat.
for archie:
As calls for the Food and Drug Administration to fully approve Covid-19 vaccines grow louder, the agency itself has little to say. This is a mistake. The agency insists it is “working as quickly as possible” and has suggested that full approval may come for at least one vaccine by the end of summer. The public is left wondering: What’s taking so long?
This isn’t just a minor nuisance. It undermines trust in the vaccines and damages the FDA’s most valuable asset — its credibility.
The drug regulators have good reason to insist on thoroughly reviewing many months of clinical trial data before fully licensing any medicine. The emergency use authorizations for the vaccines now administered in the U.S. were based on just two months of follow-up data — enough to be confident that the vaccines are safe, effective, and fit for use in response to a pressing need, but relying on a faster analysis than the FDA requires for its full approval process. To fully approve the vaccines, the FDA looks at more data and satisfies itself on a range of other issues, including developing detailed guidance on use.
This two-track system, allowing flexibility when circumstances demand it, makes sense. To many outside the agency, however, it seems contradictory. Late last year, the FDA pronounced the mRNA vaccines safe and effective enough for emergency use; many months later, it hasn’t fully licensed them. So are the vaccines safe and effective or not? That’s a reasonable question — and the agency has failed to answer it clearly.
With the delta variant racing through the population and the pace of vaccination in the U.S. still too slow, many observers, including some infectious-disease professionals, have accused the FDA of dragging its feet. Without transparent communication from the agency itself, it’s impossible to know whether that charge is correct. On Friday, an agency official said it was making further efforts to speed its review, making one wonder why every effort hadn’t already been made. The FDA traditionally hasn’t explained its ongoing work in detail, but hesitancy over the Covid-19 vaccines makes that reticence unacceptable.

If it’s now in a position to affirm that six months’ worth of clinical trial data provides stronger confirmation that the shots work safely, it should do so, and announce that the licenses will soon be forthcoming. It should also explain what further steps are involved, and how long they’ll take. This would reassure Americans that the shots are indeed safe and that anyone who hasn’t yet gotten them should go ahead without delay. It would assure businesses that requiring vaccinations for their employees right away is wise. And it would discourage states from forbidding vaccine mandates until the shots are fully approved.
One more thing. Right now, at a moment of exceptional stress, the FDA is hobbled by its lack of a permanent leader. After more than six months in office, President Joe Biden has yet to make the appointment. The agency’s professionals are surely aware of the urgency on vaccines. They know it would be a mistake to bow to pressure by cutting corners. Competently led, they can be more effective — and help restore public trust — simply by explaining what they’re doing.
