Africa, still barely 10% fully vaccinated, continues to show the strong seasonality pattern of COVID-19
Deaths per million have consistently peaked in August and January in Africa to date.
Virus gonna virus.
66% of children hospitalized for COVID-19 have a comorbidity, mostly obesity

LOL, now that there are MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF THEM, Ms. Lyndon Haviland wants the term "breakthrough cases" banned, and lies like a rug about what Fauci said
At TheHill, where else?
Let's stop saying 'breakthrough cases' — it isn't helping
When the vaccine was introduced, Dr. Anthony Fauci and others said it would offer the public a strong layer of protection against COVID-19. They sought to manage expectations by saying it would lower the possibility of getting the virus, but that, like all vaccines, it wouldn’t guarantee immunity. They tried to make it clear that infection was still possible, and that the vaccine would still do its job by drastically lowering the chance of severe illness, hospitalization and death. All of this has proven true.
By trumpeting the term “breakthrough cases,” public health authorities are spreading the impression that these infections are novel, unique and unanticipated by the scientific community. In fact, the vaccine was designed precisely with this likelihood in mind, and it is working exactly as intended.
Yeah, right. That's why Fauci said on at least three separate occasions before Delta hit that vaccination levels hitting 50% of population would prevent additional case surges like we saw in April 2021. He was sure after that that the steep declines in cases we saw nationally were a sign that the vaccines were working.
And then along came the July 4th, Provincetown, incident, proving vaccines didn't stop the spread, and Delta, proving him even more horribly wrong.
The shift to "it prevents serious illness, hospitalization and death" was . . . a shift!
But even that hasn't been true. Mass vaccination has not reduced either cases or deaths Jul-Dec 2021 compared with Jul-Dec 2020.
These people are just awful, deplorable even, because they keep touting a vaccine which isn't a true vaccine, and because of it vaccinated people have been running around spreading serious illness, hospitalization and death.
Words have meaning. Censoring them won't stop the death toll.

Mass vaccination in 2021 in the United States reduced neither cases nor deaths from COVID-19 "Delta" variant, aka the India variant
Delta dominated from July 1 through December 31, 2021:
Total Cases = 21.05 million
Total Deaths = 219,471.
COVID-19 from July 1 through December 31, 2020:
Total Cases = 17.37 million
Total Deaths = 218,588.
Mass vaccination in 2021 in the US reduced neither cases nor deaths from Delta.

A good day to remember that Boston University gave a Ph.D. to someone in 1955 who plagiarized his dissertation and a B.A. in economics "with honors" to someone in 2011 who esteems the famous economist "Milton Keynes"

Educational standards at Boston University are nothing if not consistent.
If the Fed folks think raising the Federal Funds Rate will help control inflation, they are sadly mistaken . . . again
From 1983 through 2001, the Federal Funds Rate was aggressively high and averaged 6.27%, and the Consumer Price Index averaged 3.24%.*
From 2002 through 2020, the Consumer Price Index was much lower on average at 2.01%, as the Fed pursued an aggressive low interest rate policy, which averaged just 1.36%.
So, lower Federal Funds Rate, lower inflation, higher Federal Funds Rate, higher inflation, just the opposite of what the Fed says it intends.
But only a numbskull thinks these are correlated. The Fed is merely reactionary to complex existing phenomena, not pro-actively creating conditions.
* I used the average of the annual averages.

At current infection rates in the UK and the US, we won't see "herd immunity", defined as 70% infected with Omicron, until sometime in November
The US is averaging roughly 720k infections per day, and the UK 147k, so far in January.
In the US you have to have roughly 232m people infected to get to 70%. At the current rate of infection, that's 322 days.
In the UK you have to have roughly 48m people infected to get to 70%. At the current rate of infection, that's 327 days.
There is no way to predict if current rates of infection will persist, but current rates put us to mid-November.
One thing's for sure, however, the vaccines sure as hell aren't stopping it.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings

The vaccine mandate for healthcare workers was decided by the Supremes in a 5-4 vote where Roberts and Kavanaugh voted with the three liberals
Tucker Carlson laughably says Kavanaugh voted with the liberals on this because his confirmation hearings broke him.
Ridiculous beyond words.

Our Enemy The State wants to stop reporting COVID-19 case numbers entirely because Omicron breakthroughs are making monkeys out of them and their stupid vaccines
Omicron case counts are shattering all previous COVID-19 records. But the numbers don’t carry the same weight they used to. State and local health departments are preparing to explain that to the public and start reporting more meaningful data on the virus.
More.
Remember when Donald 15 cases going to zero Trump wanted to stop testing to reduce case counts because they were making him look so bad?
THESE PEOPLE ARE TRUMP.

The problem with Rex Reed is the people he names in the same paragraph
He's not a critic. He's a drive-by shooter.
The people to whom we waved goodbye in 2021 were not all heroes. Expect no celebratory parades for disgraced Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff or Hustler publisher and smut peddler Larry Flynt, but in fairness, Flynt was a brave advocate for First Amendment rights before he was gunned down by a racist extremist in 1978 and left paralyzed for the rest of his life. And “So long” to Prince Philip, 99, the Duke of Edinburgh, who left the monarch of England, Queen Elizabeth II, to endure the antics of her dysfunctional family alone.
More.

LOL CDC Director Walensky at the beginning of October: With 164 million vaccinated we should expect "tens of thousands perhaps of breakthrough infections"
The US has added 10 million new cases since mid-December alone, 26 days ago. The previous record for a calendar month was Dec 2020 with 6.4 million.
January 2022 is going to be a breakthrough doozy. We have already 6.9 million cases in the first ten days of January alone.
This is what you get when you oversell an under-tested therapeutic as a vaccine.
These people should all be fired, including anyone who has blamed unvaccinated people for spreading this disease when the CDC has here months ago clearly admitted that vaccinated people are still spreading it.
Hell, they admitted it in July after Provincetown.
Vaccinated people have been spreading COVID all along.
Remember when the hysterical Rachel Maddow proclaimed her faith in the ability of the new vaccines to stop the spread?
The virus stops with every vaccinated person, she said.
It doesn't.
LOL NBC: Boosted Americans home sick with Omicron are "confused"
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/we-have-gone-backwards-covid-confusion-snarls-biden-white-house-n1287282
[Biden] calls it the “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” but that has only confused boosted Americans home sick with the omicron variant.
They're not confused, they're thinking "You said all we needed to do was get vaccinated!"

LOL, The Kansas City Star is as ignorant as Justice Sotomayor, knows nothing about how Omicron breakthroughs are utterly crushing the booster in places like Iceland, The UK, Denmark, and Malta
KC Star:
... an additional “booster” dose of Moderna or Pfizer mRNA-based vaccine is essential, providing far greater immunity against the omicron variant.
That's why they must try to sell that worthless rag for $2 for 2 months.
Just look at cases soaring in these places where boosters administered per 100 people so far exceed 50%.
Omicron is breaking through like gangbusters.
Tucker Carlson is right and the news media, as usual, are wrong.
The CDC's Walensky is such a Democrat hack she won't even correct an obvious, enormous whopper promoted by none other than Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor
BAIER: Now, what we can find from Friday suggests there are fewer than 3,500 current pediatric hospitalizations from COVID-19. Is that true?
WALENSKY: Yeah. But, you know, here's what I can tell you about our pediatric hospitalizations now. First of all, the vast majority of children who are in the hospital are unvaccinated ...
BAIER: Understood, but the number is not 100,000. It's roughly 3,500 in hospitals now.
WALENSKY: It -- yes, there are -- there are -- and in fact what I will say is, while pediatric hospitalizations are rising, there are still about 15-fold least [less?] than hospitalizations of our older age demographics.
BAIER: Do you have a number of children on ventilators?
WALENSKY: I do not have that off the top of my head, but what I can say is for it -- I don't believe there are any in many of these hospitals who are vaccinated. So, really, the highest risk of being on a ventilator if your child is if you're unvaccinated [sic]. ...
BAIER: ... I guess what I’m getting at in this opening is that the Supreme Court is in the process of dealing with this big issue about mandates. And do you feel responsibility as the CDC director to correct a very big mischaracterization by one of the Supreme Court justices?
WALENSKY: Yeah, here's what I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you that, right now, 17 -- if you're unvaccinated, you're 17 times more likely to be in the hospital and 20 times more likely to die than if you're boosted. ...
Q: Are 100,000 children really hospitalized for COVID-19?
A: Mostly unvaccinated ones.

The Sweden cheerleaders like Ann Coulter keep at it, but Sweden just keeps outperforming at least 7 other fellow European neighbors in the deaths per million category
You can't unkill all the old people killed in Sweden early in the pandemic, who early on laid the foundation of Sweden's present ignominy. They were killed in institutions by workers, many of whom are immigrants and not native Swedes, who spread the disease to them. Sweden got out front early with these deaths, and only kept going.
So-called conservatives don't seem too interested in that story, because it doesn't fit their anti-lockdown, anti-mask narrative, for which they think Sweden is the model, never mind Sweden's immediate neighbors to this day have done much better. The immigrant angle should be right up their alley, too, but nope. Conservatives seem little interested in learning about that, or about what has worked better and why.
Meanwhile Ex-Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo oversaw a similar massacre by transferring COVID-19 patients into nursing homes full of vulnerable elderly people who caught the disease and died. But he had to resign not because of that, but because he felt-up some ladies uninvited.
Connecticut is embarking just now as we speak on the same nursing home policy as New York.
If you are an old person in America, you probably think they are out to get you.
And you would be right.
Instead of wading into politics Moochelle should just wade out to sea
I mean, it's right there in her own backyard.
And take George Bush with you, please!

LOL, Democrats run both houses of Congress and own The White House but Carter and Obama both say democracy at risk

Democrats are hostile to democracy. It keeps them from imposing their will.
At least they are honest, unlike every health authority in the United States working in government or quoted in the press: Vaccine failure in Ontario, Canada
Fully-vaccinated COVID-19 cases presently outnumber unvaccinated by 5.9:1 in Ontario.
Fully-vaxxed hospitalizations outnumber unvaccinated by 2.7:1 in Ontario.
Fully-vaxxed in ICU = >36%.
Breakthroughs are the norm now.
Meanwhile in the People's Republic of Chicago:
“COVID is very real, it’s merciless, and unless you are fully vaccinated, your defenses against it are pretty low,” said CDPH Commissioner Allison Arwady, M.D., in a statement. “You can only fully fight this virus if you’re vaccinated."

No deaths are linked to the Jan 6 "attack" except Ashli Babbitt's, at the hands of a federal agent
Media, enemies of the people, repeat nothing but lies.
A nation 18 or older 86% vaccinated for COVID-19 is a nation of sheeple
Three-percenters, take note.
