Which is kinda funny when they've been telling us for months that hospitals designate every death they can as a C19 death in order to collect a government check.
I really wish they'd make up their mind.

The latest conspiracy theory is that deaths of vaxxed patients are designated flu deaths by hospitals in order to avoid throwing shade on the C19 vaccines

As of the end of September just 7.04% of the US population has been infected with COVID-19 in 2021
332.805 million people (US Census)
23.434 million cases (New York Times)
7.04%
Influenza incidence averages 8% (CDC, Scientific American).
CDC estimates average annual flu cases 2010-2020 at 29.63 million.
Population for the period averaged 321.6 million, so incidence for the period averaged a little higher than the commonly cited 8%: 9.2%.
CDC estimates average annual flu deaths 2010-2020 at 35,900.
Flu deaths therefore averaged ~ 0.121% on 29.63 million average annual cases over the period, slightly higher than the commonly cited 0.1%.
C19 deaths year to date are 351,938 or ~ 1.5% of cases year to date, 12.4x worse than for the flu in the last ten years.
C19 is still the third leading cause of death in the US, right behind heart disease and cancer.

For the six months Apr-Sep 2021 the combined UK/India variants produced 83% more cases compared with the same six months in 2020, despite Fauci's claims that mass vaccination would cause a steep downturn in cases
Cases and deaths Apr-Sep 2020 were 7.074m and 0.2025m respectively, for a cfr of 2.863%.
Cases and deaths Apr-Sep 2021 were 12.979m and 0.1463m respectively, for a cfr of 1.127%.
The C19 case fatality rate year over year Apr-Sep 2021 was therefore down over 60%. Total deaths period over period were down almost 28%. The theory that the so-called Delta is more transmissible yet less deadly seems to hold up. The virus has evolved to spread, at the expense of its ability to kill.
That there were comparatively FAR more cases in the 2021 period, nearly 6 million more cases, despite a mass vaccination effort is remarkable. How could that be?
The powers that be are blaming the unvaccinated.
But the timeline of events indicates that the vaccinated are implicated in the latest surge in cases, and therefore also in the deaths, which at over 57k in September are almost as bad as in April 2020.
CDC removed its mask guidance for the vaccinated in mid-May, which the president and vice-president both lauded with great enthusiasm.
And by June 1, 50% of the US population had received at least one dose of a C19 vaccine.
Vaccinated people took off their masks and enjoyed their summer.
Meanwhile Anthony Fauci had indicated on at least two occasions, in December 2020 and again in April 2021, that we would start to witness a decline in cases after achieving that level. But daily new cases just seemed to shrug their shoulders for a month instead, skipping along in a tight range for all of June. Then in July they began to soar, just as the India variant became dominant.
It's important to emphasize how fantastically wrong Fauci was about this.
In December 2020 Fauci had merely said a 50% vaccination level would need to be reached before an impact on the infection numbers would be observed, but by late April, with cases in another steep decline, he really doubled down on his claim and amplified it:
"When you get to somewhere between 40 -50%, I believe you’re going to start seeing real change, the start of a precipitous drop in cases .”
Instead of that precipitous drop he was about to get 9.8 million new cases in Jul-Sep vs. 3.1 million in Apr-Jun.
The dirty truth in all this is that the wildly growing numbers in the vaccinated population unknowingly spread the virus for 2.5 months, from mid-May through July, before the CDC reversed itself on mask guidance at the end of July after the Provincetown, MA, study showed that the virus was spreading like wildfire among vaccinated people. A Texas prison inmate study has shown the same thing since then.
Many vaccinated people have continued to spread the disease since the CDC reversed itself, however, as numerous incidents of masklessness involving celebrities and government officials demonstrate. My own veterinarians saw no need to wear masks when I took my cats in for appointments in early and late August. The late August one even asked if that was OK with me, which was hardly part of the new guidance. Mask wearing by vaccinated people, especially professionals, should have been de rigueur in close quarters in public by then.
With Pfizer vaccine effectiveness falling off to undetectable levels by month seven, we have an awful lot of people walking around who think they are bulletproof when they are not. They are instead dangerous to public health.
The surge in cases beginning in the seventh month of the year proves it.
LOL, Pfizer vaccine wears out by month seven
Six months after receiving the second dose of the two-shot vaccine from Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE, many recipients no longer have vaccine-induced antibodies that can immediately neutralize worrisome variants of the coronavirus, a new study suggests. ... neutralizing antibodies that can block infection against coronavirus variants such as Delta, Beta, and Mu were undetectable at six months after the second dose.

Academic lunatics, but I repeat myself, are separately accused of setting both the Fawn Fire and the Dixie Fire in California
The second US academic in two months, Alexandra Souverneva, has been arrested and accused of serial arson in California. Last month California Professor Gary Maynard was arrested in a separate incident, and accused of being a serial arsonist. Neither of the accused to my knowledge has been convicted of arson crimes.
More.
But for all you know GLOBAL WARMING DID IT.
In their defense, fires are pretty easy to set when your governors chronically refuse to remove the dead undergrowth in the name of the biodiversity also preached by academia.
Meanwhile Biden's nominee for Comptroller of the Currency is literally a commie
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board:
The Cornell University law school professor’s radical ideas might make even Bernie Sanders blush. She graduated from Moscow State University in 1989 on the Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship. Thirty years later, she still believes the Soviet economic system was superior, and that U.S. banking should be remade in the Gosbank’s image.
“Until I came to the US, I couldn’t imagine that things like gender pay gap still existed in today’s world. Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there. Market doesn’t always ‘know best,’” she tweeted in 2019. After Twitter users criticized her ignorance, she added a caveat: “I never claimed women and men were treated absolutely equally in every facet of Soviet life. But people’s salaries were set (by the state) in a gender-blind manner. And all women got very generous maternity benefits. Both things are still a pipe dream in our society!”
Sure, there was a Gulag, and no private property, but maternity benefits!
Ms. Omarova thinks asset prices, pay scales, capital and credit should be dictated by the federal government. In two papers, she has advocated expanding the Federal Reserve’s mandate to include the price levels of “systemically important financial assets” as well as worker wages. As they like to say at the modern university, from each according to her ability to each according to her needs.
In a recent paper “The People’s Ledger,” she proposed that the Federal Reserve take over consumer bank deposits, “effectively ‘end banking,’ as we know it,” and become “the ultimate public platform for generating, modulating, and allocating financial resources in a modern economy.” She’d also like the U.S. to create a central bank digital currency—as Venezuela and China are doing—to “redesign our financial system & turn Fed’s balance sheet into a true ‘People’s Ledger,’” she tweeted this summer. What could possibly go wrong?
Ms. Omarova believes capital and credit should be directed by an unaccountable bureaucracy and intelligentsia. She has recommended a “National Investment Authority,” with members overseen by an advisory board of academics, to finance a “big and bold” climate agenda. Sounds like the green infrastructure bank the Senate rejected.
She’d also like a politically and structurally independent “Public Interest Council” of "highly paid” academics with broad subpoena power to supervise financial regulatory agencies, including the Fed. The Council, she explained, would not be subject to the “constraints and requirements of the administrative process.” Ivy League professors know best.
As comptroller, Ms. Omarova would supervise some 1,200 financial institutions. While she couldn’t enact her People’s Agenda without legislation, she would have sweeping powers to punish banks that don’t follow her diktats. Recall how financial regulators during the Obama Presidency pressured banks to cut off credit to pay-day lenders. ...
Ms. Omarova is the wrong nominee for the wrong industry in the wrong country in the wrong century.
Notes from the future:
The overthrow overtook the former shining light on the hill almost by accident, and in broad daylight, when an aging, decrepit, Paul von Hindenburg-like leader acquiesced in his dotage to the revolutionary impulses swirling all about him, like vultures waiting for him to die.

The J&J C19 vaccine is still getting banned around the world
The latest case is Slovenia.
Denmark was the first country to ban it, in early May.
Belgium followed suit shortly thereafter because of a vaccine related death.
I've just spent an hour trying to find a decent list of all the countries banning J&J but cannot. That's surely by design.
Hey, just like the CDC!
YouTube is again changing policies that it has held onto for months.
Seriously, this story (WaPo: "YouTube is banning prominent anti-vaccine activists and blocking all anti-vaccine content") is the most contemptible story I've read in weeks:
Some anti-vaccine influencers, including Mercola, also sell natural health products, giving them a financial incentive to promote skepticism of mainstream medicine.
AS IF THERE IS NO FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO PROMOTE VACCINES WHICH HAVE CREATED AT LEAST NINE NEW BIG PHARMA BILLIONAIRES IN THE LAST YEAR.
HA HA HA HA HA!
We're all a bunch of nuts who must be grouped under one umbrella, you see:
The anti-vaccine movement now also incorporates groups as diverse as conspiracy theorists who believe former president Donald Trump is still the rightful president, and some wellness influencers who see the vaccines as unnatural substances that will poison human bodies.
WHEN DO THE CAMPS OPEN? CAN I MAKE A RESERVATION? WILL MY GAS MASK BE CONFISCATED?
The Johnson and Johnson vaccine rollout, which was linked to a bunch of blood-clotting incidents, did more damage to the C19 vaccine cause than anything said by 12, TWELVE!, YouTubers who are now being banned. US vaccinations per million of population peaked around April 13th when J&J was paused, BY THE CDC!, and rapidly declined, never to recover, marking the height of enthusiasm for the shots.
Look in the mirror you WARP SPEED fools.

Contra Matthew Rose: It's kind of hard to ask a nation of immigrants to be loyal, who are here because they are by definition disloyal
... what is needed is loyalty to one’s nation and people tied to, and measured by, “truths that transcend them".
If, with the Pope, the nation is properly viewed as a natural human community, there is little either natural or communal about this one.
America, sorry to say it, was doomed from the start. We are a nation of treasonous bastards.
And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

If this keeps up America will be just like Cuba
The average age of a car on U.S. roads rose to 12.1 years in 2021, according to IHS Markit. The average age had been 11.9 years in 2020. In 2002, the average age was 9.6 years. ... Car shopping site iSeeCars publishes a list of the longest-lasting cars on the road. Recently, it found that 16% of the Toyota Land Cruisers on the road have at least 200,000 miles on them. Meanwhile, at least 2.5% of several other models — from car makers including Toyota, Honda and General Motors — also have at least 200,000 miles on their odometers.
The story never mentions that a declining middle class finds it increasingly difficult to afford newer vehicles.

General McKenzie in Qatar told Taliban to stay out of Kabul or he would bomb them: They didn't and he didn't
Kind of hard to have any credibility when your commander in chief has none.
Biden signaled surrender already in early May, much earlier than hitherto reported; that's why the country collapsed like a house of cards.
Defeat in Afghanistan was a CHOICE made by the Democrat president, no different than the Vietnam defeat was a choice, made by the Democrat Congress of the time, of which Biden was also a part, which cut off funding to the government of South Vietnam.
The contractors which were necessary to the mission of the Afghan Army were already pulling out by the time of the May 8 Biden meeting where discussion of evacuating Afghan SIVs was supposedly excluded for fear of destabilizing the Ghani government, much earlier than has been reported until now:
At the time of the May meeting, Taliban forces were engaged in a countrywide offensive and were already capturing key territory in the west and outside Kabul, the nation's capital. U.S.-funded private contractors, meanwhile, were flying out of the country as part of the American troop withdrawal. The Afghan military needed the contractors to keep its air force flying. ... On Aug. 8, McKenzie delivered his findings to Milley, who in turn shared them with Austin. McKenzie warned that Kabul would be encircled in 30-60 days and that the city and the whole country could fall within weeks or a couple of months at most.

The National Popular Vote Compact, an end run around the US Constitution which also creates faithless electors, is actually supported in Michigan by stupid Republicans and a Hillsdale college instructor
My lunatic former state senator, Dave Hildenbrand, was the chief Republican sponsor of the compact in 2018. He's a lobbyist now.
The former state GOP Chair Saul Anuzis is a huge supporter and consultant to the NPV organization.
You can read all about such fools here and here.
Because the Republican controlled lower chamber has blocked a bill to make it the law since 2018, supporters of NPV are now organizing an end run . . . around THEM.
They intend to make this a ballot initiative, which in Michigan has been the go-to method for deciding hot topics to which elected representatives don't want their names attached through legislation. The method has been the way they wash their hands of issues instead of having the courage to take a stand for or against them.
Ballot initiatives in Michigan should have been curbed long ago, but when you have a spine made of jello, you can't curb anything.
So, given the success of Democrats in 2018 sweeping state offices and a handful of left of center ballot initiatives with them, quietly promoted by Barack Obama's wingman, Eric Holder, and backed by money from George Soros, it looks like a fait accompli already.
Michigan Republicans are too dumb and too libertarian to stop this.
The only hope is that the US Supreme Court will eventually rule the NPV unconstitutional, given the fact that it has already ruled that faithless electors must award their Electoral College votes to the certified winner of a state wherever such laws require it, not to whomever they want:
The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously upheld laws across the country that remove or punish rogue Electoral College delegates who refuse to cast their votes for the presidential candidate they were pledged to support.
The decision Monday was a loss for "faithless electors," who argued that under the Constitution they have discretion to decide which candidate to support.
Writing for the court, Justice Elena Kagan, in a decision peppered with references to the Broadway show Hamilton and the TV show Veep, said Electoral College delegates have "no ground for reversing" the statewide popular vote. That, she said, "accords with the Constitution — as well as with the trust of the Nation that here, We the People rule." ...
Thirty-two states have some sort of faithless elector law, but only 15 of those remove, penalize or simply cancel the votes of the errant electors. The 15 are Michigan, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Washington, California, New Mexico, South Carolina, Oklahoma and North Carolina. Although Maine has no such law, the secretary of state has said it has determined a faithless elector can be removed. ... For centuries, almost all electors have considered themselves bound to vote for the winner of the state popular vote.

The India variant never matched the UK variant globally, which peaked in April, despite people like Anthony Fauci falsely claiming the level of Delta in the airways was 1,000 times higher
The CDC's own data showed it was 10 times higher, but even at that Delta cases per million measured globally peaked way below "alpha" from April, already a month ago now, on Aug 26.
How did this supposedly super-virulent Delta come up so short, eh Antnee?
And Delta hardly matched the 2020 strains for reach on top of that.
What will they come up with next to scare you into getting vaccinated?
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they
go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by
one."
The 3-4 month periodicity developing for C19 deaths measured globally suggests that vaccine effectiveness is actually less than 5 months
Peak COVID-19 deaths per million measured globally occurred on Jan 26, Apr 29, and Aug 26.
Which means we should be prepared for another peak at the end of November or December.
The step-down pattern established so far, however, suggests deadliness is indeed on the decline, giving the lie to the Delta, aka the India variant, being qualitatively different.
