Many are hospitalized for COVID-19 in the US, but in no state are more than 28% of beds occupied by C19 patients

 

Trump appointed this traitor to chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who called the Chicoms on the phone in January to promise to warn them if we attacked

 

 

 

“If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise,” Milley said.

Max T 92, Mean 92

 

Min T 53, Mean 47:

 

Tied for sixth warmest August on record to 1892 by minimum temperature, with five other years ("global warming" is a transient phenomenon of recently moderating lows with 56% of the twenty-five warmest Augusts by minimum temperature on record occurring since 1960; that drops to 48% occurring since 1960 for the thirty-eight warmest Augusts by minimum temperature).

Av T 74.3, Mean 70.3:

 

Ninth warmest August on record by average temperature; the top five warmest Augusts were all before 1960.

 

Rain 2.33, Mean 3.06

 

Cooling Degree Days 295, Mean 190:

 

Ninth warmest August on record by CDD; the top five warmest were all before 1960.

 

CDD to date 800, Mean to date 616:

 

Six of the ten warmest years by total annual CDD (all ten above 963) are all before 1940, with 1921 at 1200 way out front as the hottest on record. Mean CDD for September is 76, so it would take a real scorcher in September 2021 to even hope of cracking the top ten for annual CDD. So far we are at 35 CDD in September.  

So The Lancet has published a paper by the two retiring members of the FDA which says booster shots are not recommended right now

What a hoot.

The paper, the SCIENCE, comes out a week before Biden is expected to announce booster shots.

The scientists in The Lancet review include Marion Gruber, director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research and Review, and deputy director Phil Krause. Both are departing the FDA after they were reportedly frustrated over the ... booster shots. ...

They said there are risks to distributing boosters too soon, including the potential for side effects such as a rare heart inflammation condition known as myocarditis, which is more common after the second dose of mRNA vaccines. ...

wide distribution of boosters is “not appropriate at this stage in the pandemic.”

The first six months of the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States have been 38% less deadly than year one and 63% less deadly than the first six months

In the first year to Mar 7, 2021, there were 29.034 million total announced cases and 0.524646 million deaths, for a case fatality rate of 1.80%.

From Mar 7, 2021 to Sep 7, 2021, just past, six months, there were 11.349 million total announced cases and 0.126368 million deaths, for a case fatality rate of 1.11%, 38% less severe.

Compared with the first six months of the pandemic to Sep 7, 2020, the first six months of year two have been even less deadly still.

Through Sep 7, 2020 there had been 6.317 million total announced cases, and 0.189083 million deaths, for a case fatality rate of 2.99%, 2.7 times worse.

All data is from The New York Times.

It's all about control: The lying by doctors, nursing homes and the government is off the charts: 225k on antipsychotics when fewer than 10k should be

They're drugging old people to control them using phony diagnoses of schizophrenia & now they want to vax you forcibly with a brand new technology with barely a one year track record?

This story is the most appalling thing I have read in months, and yet you will trust your doctor and take your shot.

Phony Diagnoses Hide High Rates of Drugging at Nursing Homes :

At least 21% of nursing home residents, about 225,000, are on antipsychotics.

 

There should be only ~7,333 schizophrenics in nursing homes' 1.1 million residents (1:150 in the general population), but the number is up 70% since 2012 despite the fact that all but a fraction of schizophrenia diagnoses occur historically before the age of 40.

 

They don't think too highly of Justin Trudeau in Canada's bush: The biggest asshat fuck goof in the country

 

Perhaps more telling is that on 12/4/2020 Biden was spouting Fauci's belief that the combination of vaccines and masking for 100 days after his inauguration would cause a huge decline in infections and deaths

 

Joe Biden Dec 4, 2020 had his "Read My Lips" moment before he was even inaugurated: Neither vaccines nor masks should be mandatory

 

Normie conservatives are OK with vaccine mandates, having invented the last big one after all, as long as they don't apply to them

 

LOL Nancy Pelosi, April 2021: "We cannot require someone to be vaccinated"

 At 1:30 below:

LOL Anthony Fauci, August 18, 2020: "You cannot force someone to take a vaccine"

 Starting at the 20:00 mark.

Can't wait for the CDC to redefine "full vaccination" as "however many boosters we say, that's how many" for the vaccine mandate

 

It's going to be fun to watch all the lemmings sign consent forms for "mandated" vaccines and COVID-19 tests

This is the Obamacare mandate travesty all over again. Once you sign the consent form, you can't say you were forced even though you were.

When you buy health insurance, you enter into a contract, but if you are forced into such a contract by a government mandate, it is no contract. It is invalid. You did not enter into it freely. That's the ancient understanding.

 

But that you did enter into the contract, albeit under duress, means it is too late. Your signature is on the document.

No one has successfully tried the traditional definition of contract before the Supreme Court to invalidate the Obamacare mandate. The court does not respect the old understanding of contract.

I doubt these mandates will be stopped either.

You do not live in a free country.

And the Ann Coulters and redsteezes of the world see no problem with that.

Resistance may cost you something much more significant than a few bucks on your tax return this time.

Watch Nancy Pelosi flip on vaccine mandates in about two seconds

Government unions have already said, Not so fast!

In April Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, said "We cannot require someone to be vaccinated" (at about 1:30 below).

We'll see how long that lasts.

Probably about as long as Joe's promise to get every last American out of Kabul.

 

 

 

The Tyrant has struck

 

Sweeping new vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans

Remember when Trump said the Taliban deal would leave Afghanistan "free from al-Qaida, ISIS"?

None of his supporters want to talk about that stupid load of BS Trump tried to sell.

Trump added Friday evening: “These commitments represent an important step to a lasting peace in a new Afghanistan, free from al-Qaida, ISIS and any other terrorist group that would seek to bring us harm.”

 

 

LOL Katie Hill, is that you?

 

Johns Hopkins: US COVID-19 deaths crossed the 650k mark today

 The 640k mark was crossed on August 31.

In December of last year Anthony Fauci said 50% vaccination would be enough to have an impact on the number of infections

Wrong again.

The United States has added 7 million cases since achieving 50% vaccination with one dose on June 1, and that spike continued strong despite achieving 50% full vaccination on August 14.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's senior official for infectious diseases, predicts the United States could begin to achieve early stages of herd immunity against the deadly coronavirus by late spring or summer. And if that happens, Fauci anticipates, "we could really turn this thing around" toward the end of 2021.

In a wide-ranging interview Tuesday on Morning Edition, NPR's Rachel Martin asked Fauci how many Americans need to receive the vaccine to have an impact on the number of COVID-19 infections.

"I would say 50% would have to get vaccinated before you start to see an impact," Fauci said. "But I would say 75 to 85% would have to get vaccinated if you want to have that blanket of herd immunity."
