I think you’re missing something else.
You are assuming that for everyone at all times it is better to not get the flu than to get it.
Which is not true.
Let’s say one year you get the strain of the flu going around and the next year you are hospitalised for open heart surgery. You now have some updated immunity from getting the flu while recovering from having your chest cut open.
And who knows what other functions irregular infections with colds and flus have. For one, they might cause fevers that burn off other infections you don’t even know you have which as you age might become more serious.
I think the idea of ridding humans of colds and flus is stupid one which might have unforeseen consequences.

Three men who seriously sexually violated an 11-year-old girl have been jailed, with one of them claiming he thought she was an adult.
Noor Hasan, Rahamutullah Rahamutullah, and Mohammed Nuramin were found guilty by a jury earlier this year of attacks on the young girl.
All three were convicted of the same charges, including sexual assault and sexual penetration of a child under 12 over separate attacks on the girl.
They were acquitted of sexual offences against her 12-year-old friend, but found guilty of giving both girls cannabis.

And staff in front line medical facilities rarely catch what their patients have. Occasionally there might be an outbreak of norovirus or similar but it’s usually a small minority and that’s where people share toilets and other high risk areas. People coughing, sneezing, spitting, bleeding on surfaces and people, contaminated PPE stuffed lazily in bins – rarely a case despite proof of high transfer. Things really do exist without research being needed to prove it.

Chief Minister of the ACT disses the idea of a vaxx passport. It won’t be operable as it is too open to manipulation and fraud and it won’t work anyway, because the vaxxed can also transmit Covid.
It’s a dead in the water idea, as anyone with any sense can see, so all kudos to him
Lizzie, I must say that I was both pleased and surprised by this announcement. But being a bit of a sceptic, I wondered then if there’s too many politicians and public servants in the place who don’t want their connections and activities traced.
Of course, the by-product is that all the residents of the ACT get to maintain their anonymity because of that concern. Though, I would argue that almost all of the residents of the ACT see themselves as the beneficiaries of Big Government.
And as far as the higher echelons of the state governments, I bet there’s going to be exemptions. How could Gladys’ movements and meetings be treated in the same way as the local tradie?

Plans for Covid vaccinations for 12- to 15-year-olds across the UK are to be announced by the government this week, with a mass inoculation programme beginning in schools within two weeks, the Observer has been told.
New proposals for a Covid booster programme are also expected to be set out on Tuesday, but it is thought ministers may be backing away from plans for Covid passports in confined settings such as nightclubs amid opposition from some Tory MPs.

Last week, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said children would receive only marginal health benefits from a mass vaccination campaign but did not consider the potential benefits to children’s education.

I’m surprised that number is so small.
There’s about 1 million temporary residents , many of whom are likely disillusioned and itching to get back home.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is targeted to launch as soon as November 24 (or as late as February 2022) and will take a year to reach its target: Dimorphos, a stadium-size asteroid that is orbiting a much larger asteroid called Didymos.

Depend on it, the real reasons are otherwise.
The ACT has been a surveillance state to the max for the last several months, with requirements to check in to the few places people are permitted to go, restrictions on movement, most businesses closed, yada yada.
You can be sure the real reason is buried in the privileged status of senior public servants, academics and politicians somehow. The proposals must impinge on them in ways they are not prepared to tolerate.

“I’m still flabbergasted that he pulled this off with such grace and precision and safety. Everything that we’ve been told by the media, the mainstream media, by pundits who did nothing but spend weeks criticizing his exit from Afghanistan. I don’t get it,” Moore said while appearing on Hill.TV’s “Rising.”
Moore argued that the U.S. was able to successfully negotiate the evacuation of thousands of people from Afghanistan with the Taliban, an enemy that the U.S. has been fighting for 20 years.
“We did have loss of life with a random, vicious terrorist attack by ISIS. But whatever Biden negotiated, everybody kept their word. We left on the day we said we were going to leave, in fact we left the minute before that day, and the Taliban stood by and helped us leave,” added Moore.
That quote is only a fraction of the fellating in the filmclip.

_______________________
Because those forcing the experimental Jabs (that are not vaccines) on others, are given & taking other choices, such not being drugged at all.
Winston, the historical pattern of Counter-Insurgency operations has been to use conventional military forces as both sword (to disrupt the belligerents) AND shield (local protection). SF were and are used only in limited instances, and even then their capabilities were not always available. The reason all RAR Battalions now have a Reconaissance Platoon, is because the SASR could only perform so many recce and surveillance patrols at a time, and in 1966 CO 5RAR J.A. Warr found their information so useful that he did not like going without. So he fought for and created his own capability. And what grunt CO will willingly give up the Recce Platoon, the best trained and motivated troops in his Battalion nowadays?
This was the pattern that we followed using a Brigade in Vietnam, and what every last one of our Allies effectively did for 20 years in Afghanistan. Albeit often with Infantry Battalions they deemed higher-tier. For example, the UK made a point of frequently using the Parachute Regiment and Royal Marine Commandos in Helmand Province in Afghanistan, in addition to their other line units. The Commandos and Paras alike had dedicated small groups of men who were more skilful and trained in raiding and other near-SF tasks (e.g. Pathfinder Platoon) who could be used locally where SAS/SBS etc. were unavailable or kept in reserve for more high-value tasks at theatre-level.
The use of SASR and 2CDO and SOER on conventional infantry operations to hunt insurgent leaders and distract groups of bad folk from trying to beat up the main effort (and/or help the US DEA teams burn opium crops, etc.) in lieu of sending out Infantry subunits to do it like our Allies did, is ahistorical and runs counter to SOCOMD’s actual doctrine. It was done purely and simply because AusGov and Defence alike were acutely scared of casualties, and the perceived tantrum-throwing from the populace that they felt would result from large numbers of Australian infantrymen coming home dead. This fact has been repeatedly admitted by all sides in the last few years.
So, to take into account that Army only really sent Battalion groups into Afghanistan for 8 months at a time between 2008 and 2012-14, having a Raider/Ranger/Pathfinder company equivalent in each RAR Battalion would have allowed for a certain degree of disruption operations to be sustained as required, allowed the other Companies to perform their security and stabilisation tasks, and kept the individual SASR Squadron and 2CDO Company sent on each SOTG rotation ‘free’ for targeting specific individuals and theatre-level special operations tasks.
After all, you don’t need to use a Raider Company for raiding. They can still do all their usual offensive and defensive infantry tasks. It just gives the Battalion CO and his Brigade and Divisional commanders in turn more useful assets and tactical/strategic flexibility.

Cafe Bruce local entertainment keeps me sane in lockdown. Southern male magpie was going off just now, so I went out to see what he was so unhappy about. A channel bill cuckoo! Orbited in next-door’s tree by several of the Cafe noisy miners as well as the magpie. So I decided to have some exercise and commenced throwing sticks and rolled-up junk mail catalogues at it. It decamped to next tree in slight confusion, why don’t they like me?
My aim was terrible, but at last got a bunch of catalogues near enough to register, whereupon the cuckoo scarpered…and landed on the branch where the southern magpies have their nest.
That was fun! But not for the cuckoo, who was last seen heading rapidly north in a cloud of noisies with a magpie actually attached onto each wing. Ouch!

Apropos of nothing, Possums, which have a lifespan of 15 years, can carry deadly diseases easily transmitted to humans, including Lyme disease, leptospirosis, rickettsia and mycobacteriosis, which can cause abscesses, fistulas, headaches, vomiting and renal failure.
Their faeces can carry the gut parasite cryptosporidium and their urine can cause breathing problems for asthmatics.
Possums were known to spread superbugs such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, said an infectious diseases expert at Canberra Hospital, Peter Collignon. ”Allowing a wild animal, which scavenges far and wide, to contaminate gloves and surgical equipment is obviously a real problem.”

While you are here.
From The Australia Safety and Compensation Council, and posted on the Safe Work Australia website.
WORK-RELATED INFECTIOUS AND PARASITIC DISEASES AUSTRALIA
“Work-related infectious disease
Work-related infectious disease is infectious disease that is caused or exacerbated by occupational factors.
Organisms capable of causing an infection in humans are ubiquitous in the environment. This is true for both the occupational and the non- occupational environment. Infections that may arise from workplace exposures, but that could just as easily arise from non-workplace exposures, would not usually be considered work-related infections. An example is the common cold. The likelihood of catching a cold increases with a person’s proximity to others, and so would be higher in a busy workplace than it would be if the person stayed at home on their own. However, this increased risk arises from interaction with work colleagues, rather than from some specific exposure related to work, and would be similarly increased if the person travels to or from work on public transport, or walks around the local shopping center.”

Already talk of some sort of annual “poll tax” on property.
ALP shill Nick McCallum on 3AW a few months back running the party talking points on it.
“What about people who just paid stamp duty?” asks an opponent of the tax.
“Oh no”, says Nick. “It would only be on new purchases”.
Then he throws in the glib SJW one-liner. “And issues of equity would have to be worked through”.
OK.
So a government is going to give up an annual current stamp duty revenue stream of 6% of property sales, for a slowly building revenue stream of, say, 1% of sales, but levied every year.
Hmmm. Six year break even point, probably longer.
Pull the other one.
So, what next?
Oh, you won’t have it levied if you bought your property and paid stamp duty in the last 3 or 4 years, but older purchases will have to pay.
It’s the CGT you’re having when you’re not having a CGT, except you don’t have to have any “G” and you don’t have realised proceeds to pay it.
A lovely way of levering self-funded retirees out of their houses.
As for “equity issues” read rent controls to prevent landlords recovering the property tax in rents, and a “progressive” sliding tax scale aimed at the leafy red-brick suburbs.
Don’t know if anyone has put it up:

No JC they aren’t. They are dismayed by the stuff ups, but absolutely love what Biden is being made to say: globular worming stuff, gun control, personal control via the vax mandate, persecution of white males and Christians. It is the Left’s wet dream.
My money would be an increased land tax on resi property investors that would step up the more properties you own.
Then they’d wheel out some wealthy couple with 10 investment properties & tell them to pay their fair share.
Then Andrews would sit back & hope it didn’t blow up the investor class too much.
I’ve read, In Cold Blood and a few other things by him. Capote appears to have been a nasty, nasally little faggot, but boy his word “smithing” was near perfect.

Sure, but it can’t last and this is the reason, I think..
For the moment at least, left and right are pretty evenly matched. The lunatic left of the demonrat party wants to move all sorts of shit through the house&senate so demented can sign on the dotted line. The lesser loons – the so called moderates aren’t going for it. What gives except that he will be considered a failure by his own party. They may also be loathe to run him out through article 25 of the constitution because giggling idiot is just as unpopular and unpersuasive.

Oh how we laughed.
Keep in mind, the current Vic government could do whatever the fuck they want.
No opposition.
No media push back – does anyone think the Hun is going to waste time saying extra property tax is a killer.
And if it fronts the some Victorian based court, no judge is going to rule against it.
It’s pure Illinois.
Who knows what they will do, but I would expect the punters in Victoria to be hit with a range of punitive taxes/levies/fees.
Good to see you here, Egg.

JC, when you look at the data showing what happens to the obese from COVID, you’d be thankful you had the fish & skipped dessert (times 1000) over the past 20 years, wouldn’t you?
Hopefully you are dropping care packages off to the obese one, who should be walking around in a Hazmat suit if he had any sense.
No, times a million. 🙂
It’s like culling season for land whales.
Bern, He’s never allowed out of the basement again for the rest of his life and also isn’t allowed to fraternize with anyone in person. Basically, he’s in solitary confinement.

Every day when NSW releases the age of people who have died with/from COVID, the only constants they also release is the age & sex.
Since the vaccine roll-out in NSW began they should be releasing a raft of data.
Thing like:
BMI (it’s not perfect, but it’s going to show what all the US data shows);
Vax status (none, one, both & how long ago of the shots);
C0-morbidities (especially diabetes status);
Were they hospitalised because of COVID, or did they contract it while they were in hospital already.
The fact they don’t or only partially release some of the data on an ad hoc basis, shows they are trying to hide the full data picture.
A man of the people… (and the usual MSM bull)

Yes. Yes! YES!!!
You’re right – but I never understood why pollies (and others) push that. It surely is the definition of envy.
If I was a property investor and such a tax came in, then all I need to do to avoid it is to form a Co. who’s purpose is residential property investment.

That’s not out of the ballpark.
Bogart was born in 1899. Nasal nutz in 1925.
If the arm-wrestle occurred in the 60s, bogart was 66 in 1965 while nasal nutz was 41. No matter how effeminate, a 41 year old should/would win.
Welp, as Cohenite posted between Birdstrikes at the DashCat last night, THIS is illegal in Sandgroperstan. Somehow. Cos it looks meany and dangerous (and is 9mm).
And I pointed out in turn, that irony here in Sandgroperstan tastes like .22LR. As you will see in the 4th entry of the linked page…
As the ad says: Compare the pair. Same make, same model. Same basic type of (slightly-impractical-and-cheekily-yet-legally-category-stretching) semi-automatic handgun. Slightly different calibre. Yet only one is criminalised…
No matter how effeminate, a 41 year old should/would win.
Especially when Poo-man told him what the hand Bogart had hold of was doing 5 minutes before..
Bogie died in 1957, JC.
But I take your point.
Dover0beach is not AdamD.

I wonder what proportion of the Vicco Liars backbench has investment properties? Who was that Liar luminary who “forgot” to mention a multi-million investment house in his statement of financial interests?

Believe it; the filth wanted to introduce legislation limiting the quantity of ammo you could have to the capacity of the weapon you had. If you had a single shot target .22 you would’ve had 1 bullet.

During the early days in Iraq, some j’ismist was waving around an (unexpended) .50 round and case, claiming it was given to them by locals, at whom it had been “fired”.

You idiot head prefect; the great Bogart was dead in 1957. Even so I don’t believe he was trying against little Truman who was as gay as a gold-fish. Bogie showed how he dealt with queers and perves in The Big Sleep. Watch it; it’s one of the best movies ever made. More generally you know I’m the expert on the old and best movies, so just ask me next time and don’t embarrass yourself.
Some wag did an awesome video I think it was called shooty- no shooty on the unfired round.
It was great, seems to be a little hard to find after all this time though.
I thought it was the no Parasan bloke that did it.

4bill doses to date globally, but Big Pharma steps in to stop it.
Thank you, Mater.
Dot, Jimmy refers to that NIH advisory.
demonstrating that ivermectin exerts antitumor effects in different types of cancer.
It doesnt cure all cancer.
It didnt stop cancer killing the patient with stage 17 full body ebola cancer.
When we gave then the drug at a rate of 10gm per 20gm of body weight it poisoned the patient.
Orange man bad.
Therefore we ban it from being given to anyone and pronounce anathema on anyone prescribing it, they will be disemdoctored and their medicare provider number burnt in front of them.

Fitz: And so to the ALP topic of the week. Kristina Keneally and the factional warfare that saw her position as No.1 on the NSW Senate ticket placed at risk, and possibly pushed to making a run for the Lower House, despite being popular with the public and a very strong performer. I can never understand the ALP factions, but surely that is an example of the damage they do, when they risk pushing out good performers, to serve the needs only of their own faction?
Locals you aggravated hippos hemorrhoid, the word you want is locals…
Fitz: And yet while you don’t feed the trolls on social media, you still regularly go on the show of the most infamous misogynist of the lot, Alan Jones?
I wish Jones would take the cockhead to court over that accusation.
Fitz: If Albo got hit by a bus and Kristina Keneally was in the lower house, who would be best equipped to take his place, Keneally or you?
I think its obvious we need to ban rugby. The damage done to Fitzsimians brain is evidence of the awful toll it takes.
Even among Demonrats Biden is a stand out for mean spiritedness.
Someone from his inner circle has reportedly warned Boris Johnson that the “special relationship” is in jeopardy because Biden feels slighted by the UK parliament’s condemnation of his Afghanistan withdrawal.
How about that…you stand by an ally for 20 years in a futile war only to have relations deteriorate because the President feels personally slighted.
I saw the tail end of Outsiders today when Rohan Dean presented Ice Age Watch. He showed an article in which it was proposed that, as people were now getting used to vaccine passports, in the future it would be possible to connect this to individual carbon quotas. There is absolutely no end to the control measures they want to impose on us.
Rockdoctor, protests will be held around Australia on Saturday September 18th at midday. I’m praying there is an enormous turnout. The political narrative needs to be broken.

Boris has given up on vaccine passports for the time being. The backbench revolt must have been impressive.
It’s not the best, Dr BG, but at least the details are there. I’d imagine any form of information for the protests is being deleted by FB and Twitter.

I’ll never forget watching a poor hotel maid in Beijing sluicing up raw sewage* in her bare hands and thinking it was all a-okay. In shame and pity, The Beloved gave her what was about a fortnight’s wages as a thank you. She looked startled, and then tears came to her eyes, poor woman.

The climate scam was proceeding too slowly, so they have latched onto the Kung Flu scam as a means to speed the process up.
But what are the odds that the world’s biggest emitter, China, will agree to anything? These arrogant fools will destroy the west economically, to make no difference to the climate.
Other “adventures” in Beijing…being watched outside Mao’s tomb and my conversation with a very anxious guide listened to by an observer.
I didn’t want to see the embalmed body of the murderous old reprobate, so elected to stand on the edge of the square and wait while the others queued up and filed by. The guide, torn between the group and this old maverick, stayed behind. Clearly a red flag. I knew the bugger standing behind him was listening, so I made sure I said nothing to get the guide into trouble.
This is what awaits us if we’re not careful. Spies and other deadshit informers listening to everything and reporting. We see it in its embryonic stages right now.

In my circle of family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances it’s the education level that seems to indicate the level of agreement and supine compliance. Those with university degrees are all for lockdowns and universal vaccinations. The rebels are tradies and workers who are not employed by the government.
When I’m out with the dog I forget the more than 6 decades under my belt and feel like a 12 year old kid again, climbing the steep, wet, slippery hills, banks & rocks with him, adventuring like a child.
Sometimes I slip and have close calls, and he seems to know it, while never being out of sight & sound of me, coming to my side to be my, ‘4 legged walking, walking stick’, until I shake it off.
I think that’s pretty cool but I realise he’s no, ‘Rin Tin Tin who’ll run home to tell Timmy that mummy’s fallen down the cliff & can’t get up’, and so I should probably be more careful, but nah, like with the Jabs and other bad medical care that I only survived by some miracles, there’s some levels of care that take the life out of living and life’s already too short to do that to yourself.

Not many people know that the early Led Zep albums were recorded using mainly a Tele. Not bad for a guitar designed in the early 1950s with country music in mind, although the paint job on Page’s Tele is a bit dodgy.
Sorry couldn’t resist.
