dr p: perhaps the most stunning intersection of these two topics is the story of dr. charles hoffe of lytton b.c.
he has lost half of his income for running post-vaccine d-dimer tests on his patients and making a fuss about the results
and,
most his town burnt to the ground a day after setting canada’s all time temperature record (2?) for 3 consecutive days in a row eventually reaching 49.6ºC.
indeed. i imagine this isn’t the first time the island has had fires. there is a sycamore near here which lost 95% of it’s trunk and canopy, and whose trunk was completely hollowed by fire, after a lightning strike.
now, it thrives, looking somewhat like a quite short baobab tree.
Endemic in over 100 countries, infecting approximately 400 million annually, and its breadth ever increasing, dengue virus (DENV) poses a continuing global health threat. The first infection is typically mild, but secondary infection can result in severe dengue fever and sometimes hemorrhagic fever or shock syndrome. This has been attributed to infection by an antigenically distinct variant (serotype) from the primary infection. Primary serotype antibodies form complexes with the virus in secondary infection but do not effectively neutralize it. As a result, myeloid cells become infected when they phagocytose these complexes through Fc receptor (FcR) interaction with immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc. This unique process, termed antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), might contribute to the severity of DENV secondary infection but does not completely explain it.

my wife is a magnet! here is her list of infections from worsest to bad.
1) haemorrhagic dengue 2) fauci’s little wonder 3) dengue 4) dengue 5) chicken pox 6) season flushe was bitten buy a kissing bug, but thankfully didn’t develop chagas disease.
by requiring all children to mask, we will:
a) help them develop immunity to the higher levels of CO2 to be found in tomorrow’s challenging atmosphere;
and
b) develop a generation of climate change warriors who will absorb tons of excess CO2 with the simple act of breathing.
Chicago’s violent night: CPD officer killed, another wounded; 2 mass shootings; multiple triple shootings
happy birthday, barack.
now that you are retired, perhaps a little community organizing is in fashion. bring that big tent. bring erykah badu, too – she’s great. the rest of your guests, well, cheesy comes to mind. stephen colbert?! i get it, you gotta pay back favours. anyhoo, bring the tent, and the caterers, too.
and then ¡organize! they really, really need it, buddy. you got the dough, you got the face, you got the microphone.
or do you find these people “deplorable”? naw, that couldn’t be..
what say thee?!
Dr. D. [from yesterday] “Cats get Covid”: indeed they do. our beloved phydeaux (pbuh) had always had a heart murmur. my wife had covid 6 gruelling weeks last march/april, and i suspected phy caught it for a while, too. phy passed away this st. pat’s day of congestive heart failure, and we do believe he was severely impacted by the disease. he was 11. he played a mean guitar. he was a great goalkeeper.

for what it’s worth: tdk’s not much money, not much info ’cause it’s march 2020, protocol developed for wife preservation:
a) sunshine. sit in sunshine. sleep in sunshine. feel like crap in sunshine.
b) vitamin d. lotsa. march/april is cloudy
c) vitamin c. the big ones that are weird to swallow
d) zinc. there’s so many different ones. i used zinc hopesitworks and zinc lucktide
e) vegetable soup with lotsa ginger, turmeric, chile y limón
f) n-acetyl-cysteine and holy basil for the lungs
g) curcumin. i got the good ones
h) cbd. for sleep, for loosening today’s weird joint pain, for energy, for stress relief
i) essential oils. you gotta keep the sniffer going. i had about nine different oils for sniff preserve
j) lotsa sleep. in the cold sunshine.
k) nighttime walks to the corner and back. at night so as to limit contact with others. nasty bug.ht tp: // ww w.g ran ma .cu/ cub a-co vid -19/ 202 1-08 -04/ extie nden -ensay o-cli nico-is maelillo-a- ninos-de- 3-a-11-anos -04-08-2 021-11-0 8-52

It’s just temporary. It’s just a safety measure. It is just your ability to pay cash. It is just contact tracing. It is just a health screening. It is just a temperature check. It is just a scan of your face. It’s just a minor loss of privacy.
It is just one semester. It is just two semesters. It is just one year out of your child’s life. It is just one more semester. It is just a high school graduation.
It’s just the birth of your grandchild that you missed. It is just not being able to be there for your relatives when they are ill or dying. It is just not having a funeral. It is just in person that you cannot grieve with your loved ones. It is just not getting to attend religious service. It is just not getting to practice some parts of your religion.
lotsa just, not much justice

all about ADE. i actually found it on page 213 of a google news search. [have a great retirement lt. ade, the atlantic county sheriff’s department is gonna miss ya’; rest in peace, ade sponberg]

“the louder you speak the more aerosols you emit. It sounds like a joke”
indeed it does. to wit: that’s why mr. trump is such a superspreader!
sorry for the extra, but i don’t want to seem rude. at the end of post 82798 i was sincerely trying to say that d&d’s comments were most welcome from my point of view.
phoenix: your two cents on the commentamania (thanks, raúl!) are some of the most insightful yet, and deserve at the very least to be adjusted to the CPI. i’m gnu here (not a rhinoceros, thank you), and kinda came in with three feet forward. thank god d&d showed up in time to distract ;+). i, too, hope they continue to post…
it’s too bad these leader types don’t suffer from “balls palsy”, thus preventing future generations of leader types.

nice song, zoid. needs a title: “hey, mr. vaxxer”.

try to keep caring, germ. people are in trouble and they need your clarity.when you pretend you can put pasties on the truth and no one will see it wiggle.
ATTENTION TAE SUMMARY!: words so wise deserve the emphasize.
Going back on my promise a second time,
•• that’s ok, tough times.but I’m predisposed to vote straight-ticket Republican for the first time in my life,
•• holy moly, i wanna move to texas even if it means i have to live in galveston, own a house on the beach, and go swimming everyday. i live in lockdown world, and the sheep factor is 11.even if it means voting for politicians such as Scott Walker and Leah Vukmir.
•• go wash your fingers! but, yeah, strange, strange times.(They won’t be running for anything in ’22,
•• not even dog catcher?but I’m using them as examples because the very mention of their names used to spike my blood pressure very reliably.)
•• better them than spikey the jab.These coronafreaks
•• why, oh, why can’t they see? why can’t they see all the pain?need to be completely decapitated (metaphorically speaking, of course)
•• if you need a lawyer, my cousin gill o’teen is good.as quickly and efficiently as possible.
•• indeed. the very fact they are using people’s suffering for profit is abhorrent.“But if you vote for those guys, bad things will happen!”
•• i grew up in rust belt before the rust. it was so polluted. i can’t see how they could make it worse than that. i suppose they might try to privatize the air..We’re at the point right now where Very Bad Things happening is a total inevitability.
•• we are actually well past that point. how many scores of deaths, destroyed lives and families would have been prevented through early treatments? can be now?! how many scores of deaths, destroyed lives and families are being caused by these vaccines? frederick banting gave the world insulin for free (something that actually works), while mr. bourla et alia fill up their foul souls with tainted lucre obtained through hideous means. if i found myself as ceo of one of these companies, i would now be a pauper as i would have sold all my possession to fund the treatment of those i’ve injured. está gente no tiene madre.It’s really just a matter of “pick your poison” at this point.
•• i truly believe we need to scrap elections. i am very serious. we need a lottery. random selection. randomly select 500 representatives from the inhabitants of proportionally sized districts. if you are picked and don’t want to go, next in line goes. they go to the big town and form a congress. they pick committees. they choose a hierarchy. they talk. they weed out the bad people. it has to better than what we’ve got, where the most sociopathic are the ones who scramble up the ladder. the system of government doesn’t matter, the outcome is always the same: scum rises to the top. choosing people randomly has to be better than sending people guaranteed to only think of themselves.DOWN with ELECTIONS¡¡¡¡¡ WE NEED FAIR AND RANDOM GOVERNMENTS CHOSEN BY LOTTERY!!!!! seriously.
please.
órale, ol’ jimmy kunster’s using tdk’s lines..
i used “donald trump is the greatest president since barack obama” line as my TDS diagnostic test 2016-2020. very, very effective. hahahaha.
in fact, i posted (gracias, raúl) that very joke here last week, slightly modified for biden time*
well, from today’s blog, mr. kunstler says, “That ‘Joe Biden’ is not just president but the greatest one since Barack Obama”. [no links allowed!]
do you think he’s come here and actually scrolled down? upstateNYer, is that you!?
*[i made a funny, son. biden time, bidin’ time.. get it? i keep pitchin’ ’em, and you keep missin’ ’em.]
figgy sr.: i believe many of us are becoming “fauci hunters” (it’s just a metaphor, nsa. ¡sheesh!) because we see:
a) people suffering from illness without being given early treatment;
b) people suffering because they are being given a treatment that oftentimes seems more deadly than its target;
c) people suffering because of unproven public health remedies (lockdowns etc.) causing grave socio-economic damage;
d) people suffering because they have been unnecessarily frightened for a seemingly never-ending period;
e) people suffering because their children’s lives have been shattered not by a disease, but by the reaction to it;
f) people suffering because their parent’s lives have been shattered not by a disease, but by the reaction to it;
and
g) people getting rich from all of the above.
d and d, you talk about statistics and blah, blah,
but
have you had these injections?
how did you feel?
if yes, are you at least a little worried about what’s been put into your body?
do you know of any who has had adverse reactions, been hospitalized or died?
have you or your loved ones had covid? if yes, what was worse, the disease or the reactions to the injections?
have you or will you provide these injections to your children?
how do you feel when you see little kids in masks?
how did you feel when the ceo of pfizer booked a 5.6$ million dollar profit the day the vaccines were announced, yet people all over the world can’t even receive a single dose of this “essential” injection?firesign theater. hahahahaha, thanks, “tv or not tv”, “fighting clowns”, “everything you know is wrong:”..
you’re going to regret having shown me this.
democritus and deflationista represent the mania that frustrates us all so.
it is only natural we try to engage that mania. they become our fausti, our whatsherfaceski, our phlyizer, our vaccine pissport.
unfortunately, logic and reason seem of little use at this point, but we’ll try because we love our lives, and we love our brothers’n’sisters, and we are dismayed that greed and hubris are destroying people’s health and setting us up for possibly even more catastrophic events in the future.
if i’ve gone to far with the “we”, i do apologize, as obviously i can only speak for myself and am just a recent arrival.
look at dr. goodwin’s eyes in the very last frame of the video where it ends.

Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand’ring in star-flight
I know
He’ll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.“You finally got something right.”

Anti-vaxxers are the new Flat Earthers
again, please, please, please stop with the clichés.
here, try these:
those opposed to these injections are like those who persecuted galileo.
or
can’t those against covid-19 vaccines see the tremendous benefit this technology brings?
or
failing to leave behind antiquated notions of medicine will be the downfall of those raising unfounded doubts about vaccine efficacy.
but no, we get:
You anti-vaxxers are hooked on conspiracy theories spread around far-right websites. You voted for Trump twice, think it’s ok to endanger others just so you’re not “inconvenienced” by a harmless mask, and spend hours pouring over “data” spewed out by “doctors” that not even the bahamas would certify.
nanojellybeans are what allow the m&mrNa vegemite to cross the brain/bowel barrier, thus causing each cellphone to generate spork protein which in turn pretends us from coughid-19.
i’ve been studying!
every time i hear or see an f-15 or f-22 or f-u fly over the house, for an airshow or opening day of some sport, i wonder what nearby residents who are refugees from yemen, syria, libya, iraq, afghanistan, somalia, sudan, croatia, serbia, bosnia, vietnam, laos, and cambodia [to name a few] think and feel.
what did little kids from these places think and feel and relive and have nightmares about?
haha, mr. roboto, sorry for the cryptocity.
i was going to write “the town”, or “my town”, but then i thought i’d see what people said about their own town.
i have used “the wheels goes round and round” to sardonically (i hope) express that humans tend to do the same dumb stuff over and over.
but today, it just felt like the “over and over” had been replaced by something even less logical and even more dangerous.
