Former California lecturer in "criminal justice" who specialized in "deviant behavior" accused of setting the Cascade, Everitt, Ranch, and Conard Fires in July and August
Can't make it up.
I guess those wildfires weren't exactly wild.
This guy is the exception to the rule that those who can, do, and those who can't, teach.
LOL Africa, not even 7% fully jabbed, is experiencing daily new cases per million returning to baseline
I was under the impression, Herr Zeller, that it was "my body, my choice" in Austria, at least in the Austria that I know
... starting Feb. 1, the country will also make vaccinations mandatory.

These CDC assholes are still out of control: Smallpox vials found in undisclosed lab in Pennsylvania
Philadelphia — Federal health authorities on Wednesday
confirmed the discovery of some frozen vials labeled "Smallpox" in a
freezer at a facility in Pennsylvania that conducts vaccine research. ...
The CDC would not confirm where in Pennsylvania the vials were found. ...
There are two sites designated by the World Health Organization where stocks of variola virus are stored and used for research: the CDC facility in Atlanta and a center in Russia. ...
In July 2014, officials said a government scientist cleaning out an old storage room at a Bethesda, Maryland, research center found six decades-old glass vials containing freeze-dried smallpox samples packed away and forgotten in a cardboard box. Officials called it the first discovery of unaccounted-for smallpox in the country.

So, as if things aren't bad enough for the mRNA vaccines, now we learn Pfizer lied about the number of deaths in the trials
Israeli study of 1.3 million shows mRNA vaccine effectiveness wanes in 4-6 months in the same way for everyone regardless of age: So you're going to jab 5 year olds every six months?
The insanity of this ought to be plain.
A jab every 6 months means 145 shots throughout an average lifespan of 78 years.
And have fun at Thanksgiving thinking your vaccinations through May still protect you and your loved ones this November.
You might as well be Nick Chevotarevich.

LOL Canada, which was 60% fully jabbed by the beginning of August, got creamed by Delta anyway
The ratio of Pfizer to Moderna administered in Canada is currently 3.5:1.
Canada disproves Eric Topol's alarms about Delta. He calls Delta so formidable and hyper-contagious that 90-95% vaccine coverage is required.
At a level far less than that, however, Delta came, and more importantly went, in Canada, as if the vaccines made not the slightest bit of difference.
Virus gonna virus.
LOL India, home of the Delta variant, has as few daily new cases per million with 26.6% of its population fully jabbed as it did when fewer than 0.1% were back in February
But Eric Topol doesn't want to talk about that, because it doesn't fit the narrative.
He'd rather talk about Japan, which made "full return to baseline after their worst outbreak, by the combination of high level of vaccination and the continued use of masks and mitigation measures."
How did India do it, Eric?
LOL, expert Eric Topol: 74% vaccinated isn't enough, gotta get to 90-95%
In The Grauniad:
Noteworthy is Belgium with 74% fully vaccinated and one of the hardest-hit countries in the world, now at 79/100,000, currently 10th highest caseload globally. That alone tells us 74% isn’t enough, and that prior Covid (without vaccination, what some refer to as “natural immunity”) is unreliable for representing a solid immunity wall against the Delta variant. In fact, it has been projected for Delta that any country needs to achieve 90-95% of its total population fully vaccinated (or with recent Covid) in order to have population-level immunity that covers, providing relative protection, for the others.
Actually what it tells us is that the Pfizer vaccine, which is what Belgium overwhelmingly uses, does not stop the spread.
The CDC and Anthony Fauci have held since late in 2020 that the reproduction rate for COVID-19 of 2.5 means a 60% vaccination level should stop the pandemic.
The vaccines haven't done that.
The United States is 57.6% fully vaccinated to date, plus 13.9% who have survived infection to date, thus 71.5% "immune".
Yet here we are, into the sixth wave:
It's Eric Topol who is in denial.

Massachusetts shouldn't have had a Delta surge at all, and neither should the United States as a whole
We have known since July 30th from the Provincetown, MA outbreak on July 4th that the vaccines do not stop the spread, but the insane powers that be continue to insist that the jab is all we need.
Since the CDC considers the basic reproduction number for this disease to be 2.5, herd immunity should have been achieved in Massachusetts at about 60% fully vaccinated/survived infection. This is why Anthony Fauci had kept insisting that getting the country to 50% would prevent a surge.
But on July 4th Massachusetts was already at 71.9% fully vaccinated/survived infection (692k total announced cases minus total announced deaths, 4.28 million fully vaccinated, population of 6.912 million).
If the vaccines work to inhibit spread, which is what people expect of a vaccine worthy of the name, Massachusetts shouldn't have had a Delta surge after July 4th AT ALL, let alone the high level of daily new cases it has experienced continuously since then.
And in the United States as a whole on July 4th, the fully vaccinated plus those who survived infection totaled 193.787 million, or 58.3% of the population of 332.4 million.
The Delta surge shouldn't have happened in the country at large either, if the vaccines work as INCESSANTLY sold to us.
They obviously do not inhibit spread, but because people commonly think that they do, the pandemic continues.
We're insane.
LOL Ireland: 74.5% fully vaccinated against C19 by October 7, daily new cases per million UP 263% five weeks later anyway
The deaths per million measure is up 138%.
Almost 74% of the vaccine doses administered to date in Ireland have been Pfizer's.

The FDA is letting thousands die of C19 as it moves with the speed of a glacier to grant emergency use authorization to new antiviral pills proven to work
FDA doesn't give a shit about saving lives in an emergency.
So what should we think of the FDA keeping the drug, called Paxlovid, out of the hands of the infected? The FDA’s advisory committee won’t meet to approve the Merck drug until after Thanksgiving, according to the FDA’s website . The meeting is an entirely virtual one, so this isn’t a matter of getting all the advisory committee members into one place. It’s just a matter of scheduling. The earliest we could get Paxlovid into doctors’ offices or pharmacies is mid-December.

Hawk Newsome "promises" new violence against new NYC Mayor Adams
You see what he did there.
“If they think they are going back to the old ways of policing then we’re going to take to the streets again,” New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome said outside Borough Hall after the meeting.
“There will be riots. There will be fire, and there will be bloodshed,” he threatened. ...
“I am not threatening anyone. I am just saying that it’s a natural response to aggressive oppression, people will react.”

Flashback: SLATE finally called Obama a climate hypocrite in 2015 because he gave approval to Shell to drill off shore in Alaska, and then had the balls to go visit the Arctic Circle region right after
The Obamas, you will recall, notoriously spent a lot of time and money jet-setting about the globe, spewing carbon everywhere. The travel was the thing, the issues just the pretext for it.
They are still at it, and Greta is growing increasingly fed up.
Joe Manchin wants to pause before spending any more money since we've already injected $5 TRILLION into the economy because of the pandemic
Ya think?
Last year's spending was an ORGY, and along comes this guy suggesting we take a break and he's public enemy numero uno to Democrats and the picture of conservatism to admiring Republicans.
We are so screwed.
From the story:
- He's argued Congress should take a “strategic pause” on the bigger package until Congress had more time to assess the effects of the nearly $5 trillion COVID stimulus spending in 2020 and earlier this year.
- His statements on Wednesday amounted to an I-told-you-so.
- “By all accounts, the threat posed by record inflation to the American people is not ‘transitory’ and is instead getting worse,” Manchin said. “From the grocery store to the gas pump, Americans know the inflation tax is real and D.C. can no longer ignore the economic pain Americans feel every day.”

Not gonna deny it: Disappointed to see our future president bawl like a little baby on the witness stand today
If Wisconsin political authorities had ensured law and order in Kenosha, none of this would be happening.
It's on them, but they'll still get away with it.
The Grauniad: Barack Obama, poster boy for climate hypocrisy
The young people who were children when Obama took office did not clear the way for a 750% explosion in crude oil exports, as he did just a few days after the Paris agreement was brokered in 2015. Nor did they boast proudly about it years later, as ever-more research mounted about the dangers of continuing to invest in fossil fuels. Speaking at a Houston, Texas gala in 2018, the former president proudly took credit for booming US fossil fuel production. “Suddenly America is the largest oil producer. That was me people,” he boasted jokingly to an industry-friendly crowd. “Say thank you.”

I'm not sure it was actually Billy Pilgrim who appeared in my dream the other night
But the theme for today sure does seem to indicate that.
I mean, Biden told businesses to vaccinate anyway even after the Fifth Circuit Court for Appeals stayed his OSHA mandate. Trump would have been lynched in a second for that.
I mean impeached.
So it goes.
Everything is horrible and I don't think it really matters.
Deconstruct that, Pete Booty Judge.

Climate Update for KGRR: October 2021
Republicans voted for the Biden infrastructure bill despite the CBO's estimate it would add $250 billion+ to the national debt over 10 years
Is $25 billion a year a big deal?
We're already paying $500 billion+ EVERY YEAR in interest expense on the debt.
Nobody cares.

Whistleblower reveals to British Medical Journal that just 9 of 153 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine trial sites were inspected by the FDA, among a host of other problems
Civilian employment under Biden in October 2021 is at about the same level it was four years ago under Trump
How long will it take to recover? Seven years like it did under Obama-Biden?
Let's hope not.
The current trajectory looks like civilian employment will recover round about March 2023, a little more than three years after the Feb 2020 peak. That is slightly longer than the typical 2-3 years during recessions.
Foolish energy and vaccine policies could interfere with that, however.
LOL, "He is supposed to be committed to reducing emissions", the story opens

I'm speechless: The Wall Street Journal blames unvaccinated children for breakthrough infections, not the shitty vaccines
Ajit Lalvani, chair of infectious diseases at Imperial College London and lead author of the household-transmission study, said people in their 40s were at higher risk of breakthrough infection for two reasons. “Waning immunity plus pools of unvaccinated people acting as vectors of infection into the household where it transmits effectively to vaccinated parents,” he said. “Both are happening.”
Most people in their 40s received their second vaccination at least four months ago. ... They are also the most-likely age band to share a home with teenage children, a group that is still mostly unvaccinated in the U.K. and in which case numbers have been surging. The household-transmission study, which tracked 205 vaccinated and unvaccinated household contacts of a symptomatic case of Covid-19, found that around a quarter of those who were fully vaccinated went on to develop a breakthrough infection. The study, published in the medical journal Lancet Infectious Diseases last week, found that unvaccinated household members had a 38% chance of infection.

Compared to the same period last year, the last seven months have seen a huge increase in C19 cases despite the mass vaccination effort, with deaths down only 14%
Year over year Apr-Oct 2021 US COVID-19 cases are up 71% from 9.02m to 15.45m; deaths are down 14% from 226,208 to 193,877.
Bi-partisan Senate infrastructure plan authorizing $550 billion in new spending passed the House late last night and goes to Biden for his signature
The bill was opposed in the House by almost all Republicans, and by six far-left Democrats who were outmaneuvered by thirteen moderate Republicans who threw their support to the plan, which 19 Republican US Senators had voted for earlier this summer.
The House progressives had insisted that the infrastructure plan be voted on together with Biden's social spending plan in order to force moderate Democrats to go along with the latter. The House Republican votes for the Senate bill ended up thwarting that linkage, making it even more likely that the House version of the social spending plan will have to be much less ambitious.
A small group of House Democrats have insisted the Congressional Budget Office score the impact of the separate social spending plan, which would have been standard operating procedure under Republicans but which Democrats under Pelosi have been avoiding until now. They don't give a damn about the true costs. They've even claimed absurdly a $3.5 trillion social spending plan will cost NOTHING. Ha ha ha ha ha.
That ranks among the most shameless attempts to change reality through a talking point ever attempted.
Whatever comes out of the House on that will face the hard scrutiny of Democrat Senators Manchin and Sinema regardless.
The bipartisan bill would reauthorize surface transportation and water programs for five years, adding $550 billion in new spending.
It includes $110 billion for roads, bridges and major projects; $39 billion for transit and $66 billion for rail; $65 billion for broadband; $65 billion for the electric grid; $55 billion to upgrade water infrastructure and $25 billion for airports.
WaPo:
The bill includes more than $110 billion to replace and repair roads, bridges and highways, and $66 billion to boost rail, making it the most substantial such investment in the country’s passenger and commercial network since the creation of Amtrak about half a century ago. Lawmakers provided $55 billion to improve the nation’s water supply and replace lead pipes, $60 billion to modernize the power grid and billions in additional sums to expand speedy Internet access nationwide.
Many of the investments aim to promote green energy and combat some of the country’s worst sources of pollution. At Biden’s behest, for example, lawmakers approved $7.5 billion to build out a national network of vehicle charging stations. Reflecting the deadly, costly consequences of global warming, the package also allocates another roughly $50 billion to respond to emergencies including droughts, wildfires and major storms.
