🪳 I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve noticed that The Narrative mutated into \u201cof course the injections don\u2019t stop infections, but they prevent serious illness and death.\u201d Well, it looks like that variant of The Narrative is finally dying out. Over the weekend, Fauci was on the Daily Podcast and said this:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are seeing something that is really interesting \u2026 We are starting to see waning immunity against infection, and waning immunity \u2026 against hospitalization \u2014 and if you look at Israel, which has always been a month to a month and a half ahead of us \u2026 they are seeing a waning of immunity not only against infections, but against hospitalizations and to some extent, death. Which is starting to now involve all age groups. It isn\u2019t just the elderly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course, Fauci then advocated for boosters as the solution. But boosters have yet to be proven to have any lasting effect against infections, hospitalizations, or deaths. The booster science is all based on an Israeli study showing increased antibodies during the first seven days after the third injection. Needless to say, that\u2019s not quite long enough to \u201cprove\u201d the boosters have any lasting benefit.<\/p>\n
But more importantly, Fauci is now admitting that The Narrative\u2019s theory that injections \u201creduce serious illness and death\u201d is kaput. Not only don\u2019t they do that, but now the virus is killing younger people, which wasn\u2019t true pre-injections.<\/p>\n
So.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 The FDA asked a federal judge to give it 55 years \u2014 until 2076 \u2014 to produce records from Pfizer\u2019s clinical trials. I am not making that up. The FDA says it has 330,000 pages of documents from the trials, and it wants the court to approve producing 500 pages per month. So it wants to produce the documents over the next 660 months. That\u2019s 55 years. See, the poor, sad FDA just doesn\u2019t have the staff to review and disclose all those pages. It\u2019s a just an awful burden on an already overloaded federal agency that\u2019s just trying to help folks. It\u2019s the best they can do. Citizens don\u2019t need to read that stuff anyways. It\u2019s boring. Just trust us.<\/p>\n
Honestly, I can\u2019t believe they actually filed this motion in federal court. We\u2019re talking about a drug that the federal government is trying to force on every man, woman, and child in the country by January 4. But the FDA thinks that we shouldn\u2019t be able to see the data supporting the drug\u2019s safety and efficacy for 55 years? Are you kidding me? The whole premise of the motion is the FDA has to carefully review every single page before it\u2019s disclosed. There might be some confidential patient information in there or something. You never know.<\/p>\n
The attorneys requesting the documents made a great point. They said, hey judge, the FDA somehow managed to review all these EXACT SAME pages over just a few months to approve the drugs and make sure they were safe for U.S. citizens. So, how come it takes so long now to review the EXACT SAME PAGES to produce them under FOIA? It kind of seems like the burden in releasing documents would be even easier than originally reading them to say the injection was safe for human use.<\/p>\n
Not so, said the FDA, not so. In its motion, it told the court that \u201cthe review conducted by FDA scientists when considering to approve a product is entirely different from the review conducted by FDA government information specialists when considering whether FDA must keep certain information confidential.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh, well, alrighty then. What a compelling argument. It\u2019s \u201centirely different.\u201d That\u2019s their whole argument. They didn\u2019t say HOW it was \u201centirely different\u201d or WHY reviewing documents for confidential information is harder and takes longer than it does to study the documents to confirm drug safety. It just DOES.<\/p>\n
Got it. I guess fifty-five years makes sense. Thanks FDA!<\/p>\n
The truth is this information should have been public from day one. The FDA\u2019s motion is a pitiful disgrace. It suggests they are trying to hide something. It\u2019s isn\u2019t a good look.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 All the various OSHA vaccine mandate cases have been consolidated into the Sixth Circuit in Ohio. This is a court with an 11-5 conservative majority, thanks to Trump era appointments, which turned it from center-right to \u2018hard right\u2019 with six (6) new judicial assignments. That\u2019s good news, suggesting that the OSHA mandate may have its days numbered.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 OSHA has now halted the injection mandate for companies with 100+ employees. On its website, the agency now says, \u201cOn November 12, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a motion to stay OSHA\u2019s COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard, published on November 5, 2021 (86 Fed. Reg. 61402) (\u2018ETS\u2019). The court ordered that OSHA \u2018take no steps to implement or enforce\u2019 the ETS \u2018until further court order.\u2019 While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.\u201c<\/p>\n
So! One down, two to go.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🐭 Disney Cruise Line expanded its injection requirement yesterday. Now, children ages five to 11 have to be injected to go on its cruises starting January 13. Disney already requires all eligible guests aged 12 and up to be fully injected. Meh. Disney cruises are overrated, in my opinion.<\/p>\n
Disney\u2019s rule doesn\u2019t violate Florida\u2019s vaccine passport ban because a federal judge blocked the law in August. The state has appealed the decision.<\/p>\n
The CDC said in October that it intends to lift its mandatory safety requirements for cruise ships starting January 15. We\u2019ll see. The federal court has said that Florida cruise lines didn\u2019t have to follow the CDC, but all the major lines said they would comply anyway.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 Parents of a 13-year-old girl have sued Tallahassee\u2019s Deerlake Middle School and its officials in federal court after the school officials secretly \u201ctransitioned\u201d her into a \u201ctransgender male,\u201d including letting her use men\u2019s bathrooms and choosing her own pronouns without telling the parents. The complaint includes some pretty shocking allegations including that the school district and its loopy superintendent Rocky Hanna created a guide for \u201chelping\u201d students transition while keeping the whole thing secret from parents, including instructions to use the student\u2019s correct pronouns when talking to parents but the \u201cchosen\u201d pronouns at school.<\/p>\n
Makes sense. I mean, what do parents know about raising their own children? Isn\u2019t it better to let unaccountable politicians do it in secret? Come on, people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 New York City has announced that anyone who wants to attend the ball drop on New Year\u2019s Eve must be fully injected. Outside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 Speaking of loopy politicians, teacher\u2019s union president Randi Weingarten whined about the new special session laws that outlaw mask mandates in schools and local jurisdictions. She tweeted, \u201cThis is just disgraceful. Instead of encouraging Floridians to keep themselves and their communities safe in the most basic way\u2013with masks\u2013Gov. DeSantis is upping fines on those that require them, including schools.\u201d<\/p>\n
I can think of lots of other things that are much more disgraceful than bans on mask mandates. Like, most of what teacher\u2019s unions have been up to for the last two years. Just saying.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 Ireland \u2014 93% injected \u2014 is locking down again. The Emerald Isle\u2019s government is encouraging people to work from home, ordering bars and clubs to close at midnight, expanding the use of antigen tests, and asking contact-traced folks to lock down for five days, according to The Irish Times.<\/p>\n
In Waterford, Ireland \u2014 97% injected \u2014 one in a hundred people have tested positive over the last two weeks. That\u2019s an astounding infection rate of 1,000 per 100,000 people. By comparison, Florida\u2019s rate is currently only 5 per 100,000.<\/p>\n
But during the second wave in late summer 2020 and the third and deadliest wave during January and February this year \u2014 before the injections were widely available \u2014 Waterford consistently had the lowest infection rates in Ireland.<\/p>\n
Safe and effective.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
💉 A local NBC affiliate in Connecticut reported that eight people are dead and about 100 more are infected after an outbreak at a Connecticut nursing home. The nursing and rehab center houses only 70 residents. Of the 89 total infections, 87 people were fully injected.<\/p>\n
In other words, eleven percent (11%) of the fully-injected residents died from Covid anyway. Safe and effective.<\/p>\n
What should we do? \u201cFamily members of residents in long-term care facilities should also encourage their loved ones being cared for in these facilities to get a booster vaccine,\u201d a department of health spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Jab more. Third time\u2019s a charm!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
💉 Over the last month or so, the Vancouver Sun has also reported Covid outbreaks in several nursing homes. Kelowna had 70 confirmed cases (staff and residents) and 17 deaths. Burnaby, 100 cases and 12 deaths. Cannan, 89 cases and 8 deaths. Safe and effective!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
💉 The NHL postponed three Ottawa Senators games this week amidst a Covid outbreak on the team. I probably don\u2019t need to tell you this, but they were fully injected. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Company, this is the first time any of North America\u2019s major professional sports leagues have been hit by rescheduling this fall because of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 In the Netherlands \u2014 where freewheeling liberal Amsterdam is located \u2014 the \u201cOutbreak Management Team\u201d just recommended the new lockdowns responding to a dramatic rise in case rates. The new restrictions would include cancelling events, closing theaters and reintroducing curfews. This would be on top of the mask mandate and vaccine passport already in place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
🔥 Now that we are witnessing the failure of the injections to stop the spread or protect people from dying, new rationales are popping up everywhere. Just to recap:<\/p>\n
When lockdowns failed, they blamed it on us for not masking.<\/p>\n
When masks failed, they blamed it on us for not getting injected.<\/p>\n
Now that vaccines have failed, they\u2019re blaming it on us for not locking down.<\/p>\n
When the lockdowns fail again, they\u2019ll blame it on us for not masking.<\/p>\n
When the masks fail again, they\u2019ll blame it on us for not getting boosted.<\/p>\n
Are you starting to see any pattern here? I feel like there must be SOMETHING, a common element of some kind, but I can\u2019t quite put my finger on it\u2026<\/p>\n
Have a terrific Thursday! We\u2019ll be back tomorrow with more hot, fresh coffee & covid.<\/strong><\/p>\n___
