You Need to Hear a Story About Chickens Before Vaccine Mandates Go Any Further
Epsilon, Gamma, and Iota appear to burn out in the presence of the highly transmissible Delta variant. If you go to the Nextstrain site, you can hit play and watch the evolution of the virus over time. The pie charts on the map are the total share of each variant for the entire pandemic. When you watch the time lapse, you can see Delta has completely taken over the U.S. as the circle turns completely teal. However, you see Mu and Lambda hold their own, even with Delta in the mix. And these variants are headed to the U.S. over our open southern border.
Marek’s disease in chickens was the first time the phenomenon of a leaky vaccine, and its effect on viral mutation, demonstrated that the vaccinated can be dangerous to the unvaccinated. According to the author summary of the 2015 study:
There is a theoretical expectation that some types of vaccines could prompt the evolution of more virulent (“hotter”) pathogens. This idea follows from the notion that natural selection removes pathogen strains that are so “hot” that they kill their hosts and, therefore, themselves. Vaccines that let the hosts survive but do not prevent the spread of the pathogen relax this selection, allowing the evolution of hotter pathogens to occur. This type of vaccine is often called a leaky vaccine. When vaccines prevent transmission, as is the case for nearly all vaccines used in humans, this type of evolution towards increased virulence is blocked. But when vaccines leak, allowing at least some pathogen transmission, they could create the ecological conditions that would allow hot strains to emerge and persist. This theory proved highly controversial when it was first proposed over a decade ago, but here we report experiments with Marek’s disease virus in poultry that show that modern commercial leaky vaccines can have precisely this effect: they allow the onward transmission of strains otherwise too lethal to persist. Thus, the use of leaky vaccines can facilitate the evolution of pathogen strains that put unvaccinated hosts at greater risk of severe disease. The future challenge is to identify whether there are other types of vaccines used in animals and humans that might also generate these evolutionary risks.
Censored doctors and researchers started warning about the potential for this phenomenon when breakthrough cases in Israel began to rise. Some commenters raised it in the public comment period during the FDA hearing on booster shots. It may be part of the reason the experts did not recommend boosters for everyone. Right now, for all but the most vulnerable, the current vaccines seem to prevent severe illness and death. We also have monoclonal antibodies in our pocket to help those whose symptoms progress.
Some researchers you never see on CNN are convinced that the COVID-19 vaccines are “leaky” and are worried about the risks of a third dose. Others are insistent that the recovered, pre- or post-vaccine, should not receive a booster. But it is imperative to understand that we are not experiencing a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And the unvaccinated are almost certainly not producing the current array of variants.

I must be getting soft. That Qantas video made me cry.
Still Sunday evening here in the States. Looks like our Commie bastard of a President is pulling the trigger on the whole “no jab, no job” thing in a few months. It’s an executive order, so I don’t think it’ll be halted. I’d love to see tens of millions of truebloods sticking to their guns and causing economic backlash by calling his bluff, but I doubt it.
I wish Novavax would get a move-on.
Children do not die from Covid.
People in their thousands have died and have suffered serious side effects from these jabs with no long term studies done and total indemnity for anyone in the chain of supply, down to the one doing the jabbing.
We know you can be jabbed and still get and transmit covid (these jabs don’t work at all).
But for those still holding out to the bullshit excuse that risking children’s lives putting this untested crap into them, is worth it to save their parents, that’s a complete reversal of the natural world.
Any species that does this, any species, any civilisation will perish.
And rightly so.
If we are that sick, we deserve what is coming.
I absolutely oppose being forced to take a medical procedure.
I detest the weak minds and the historically ignorant telling me to get the jab for the good of others.
Besides it making absolutely no sense, as that to me is the jabbed telling me the vaccine doesn’t work, (which it doesn’t) and it’s indemnified and untested, and has directly killed thousands already, History shows us quite clearly, if you submit to tyranny you get more tyranny and millions will be killed.
So if you really care about your fellow man and your fellow countrymen and families, RESIST, HOLD THE LINE, and help save millions.
This has gone far enough.
If they get the passports in, and your jab helps them get the critical “majority” that they are now going to turn against the minority (I’ll probably need a little yellow star) you’ve played straight into these tyrants hands.
But don’t give me the bullshit that you did it for others, as what you actually did was help sentence millions to suffer under tyranny, jabbed or un-jabbed.
Never submit to tyranny .
Other people’s lives depend on you resisting and fighting back.

Oooh, damn. Now they know we suspect them.

Absolutely true.
McCarthy has been vilified for decades, but he was almost entirely concerned about, and investigating, communist infiltration of the State Department (which it was; a fact confirmed by the Venona documents released many years later), he was not involved with HUAAC, nor was he chasing down alleged communists in Hollywood or elsewhere, as his enemies claim.

Regarding Things No-one is Talking About, it only just occurred to me that rubber gloves, which everyone was being made to wear last year, are no longer a thing this year. My own workplace mandated them when dealing with the public; we even had to sit through ‘training’ on how to put them on and take them off, seriously.
Is this a tacit admission that you don’t catch covid by touching things?
That comment should have had a trigger warning for you know who.
cuckoo, apparently the original variant could remain active on surfaces whereas the delta variant is more transmissible through droplets in the air. That’s what they’re saying anyway.

The Vatican has raised concerns about AUKUS, Australia’s defence collaboration with the US and Britain, especially the agreement to help the Australian Navy acquire a fleet of eight nuclear-powered submarines.
Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, the main architect of the Vatican’s secretive agreement with the Chinese Communist Party government, spoke to journalists on September 23, during a meeting of the European’s People’s Party in Rome. He is second behind Pope Francis in the church hierarchy.
“The Holy See is against rearmament,’’ Cardinal Parolin said. “All the efforts that have been made and are being made by the Vatican are to eliminate nuclear weapons because they are not the way to maintain peace and security in the world. They create even more dangers for peace and even more conflict.’’
FUCK OFF.
Person who says nothing about Chinese military expansion gets on hind legs when someone other than China does it.

Teacher launches Victorian challenge to vaccine mandate
By Tammy Mills
The first Victorian legal challenge to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for teachers has been issued in court.
Self-represented casual relief teacher Belinda Cetnar and horticulturalist Jack Cetnar have gone to the Supreme Court to argue the no jab, no work policy is not legally or ethically justified, undermines the rule of law and is inconsistent with their human rights.
It follows legal challenges to mandates in NSW and Queensland.
The Victorian government announced almost a fortnight ago that vaccines would be compulsory for all staff at schools and early childhood centres starting October 18, and Premier Daniel Andrews last week widened the mandate to all authorised workers.
In documents submitted to the Supreme Court, the Cetnars questioned the health advice the decision was based on, arguing the mandates were discriminatory.
“The blanket mandate approach does not consider the human rights of those it is imposed on and the defendants have failed to consider less restrictive means reasonably available to achieve the purpose for which they seek to achieve,” their statement of claim read.
The Cetnars also said people with religious objections would be discriminated against, and that had not been considered when the mandate was announced.
They listed various human rights provisions and laws they argued the policy contravened, including the Constitution, the Biosecurity Act, the Fair Work Act and the Nuremberg Code.
The Cetnars, who say they could lose their employment over the mandate, declined to comment when contacted by The Age.
Though The Age was unable to establish which schools Ms Cetnar, a registered teacher, most recently worked at, Mr Cetnar is a horticulturalist for Crest Education Ltd, an educational precinct in Melbourne’s south-east that includes Hillcrest Christian College and Rivercrest Christian College.
I don’t think WA even has a Charter of Human Rights?
If they think they can ”mandate” one medical procedure (vax) for the ”common good”, you can bet they will in future mandate other medical procedures.
Hold the line.

Our overlords have graciously permitted us some “freedom”).
As I was wandering to the bar I espied a tall sixty-ish gent, well turned out, obviously not a local. Fashionable haircut, horn rimmed glasses. Wearing a black windcheater with one word embroidered in white on the right breast. “VAXXED”.
What a wanker. Any chance he doesn’t listen to Radio National?

The financial fallout from the collapse would be the foreign currency based part of the debt that was issued offshore (outside China). That’s not huge in today’s dollar denominations, I think.

I suppose the current papacy would have insisted that the Knights of Malta lay down their arms against the Ottomans during the Great Siege of Malta in 1565.

I don’t think the Communist regime will allow the domestic side of the debt to go to hell, but there would be a decent chance, they fuck the foreigners… those holding the foreign debt. They missed the foreign debt interest payment but not the domestic one. They’re such fucking arseholes.
Evergrande is the collateral damage that from China’s manufactured slow down.
That is, since April this year they have been tapping the breaks.
There’s always someone with too much Evergrande debt on the books.
It’ll cause some shorter term liquidity issues, but not the end of the world.
It’s already blowing up some emerging market debt funds.
Struth.
Mater has previously shown how the mish mash of strangely presented evidence and confusing statistics has helped obliterate any real education of the population.
I’d be very interested to see any studies which document the exact amount of difference in transmission rates between vaxxed people and an unvaxxed people.
The main claim to fame for vaccines now is they minimise symptoms. Evidence of that is needed too.
I wonder if Ivy Fund Management holds any Evergrande bonds?
I’m hardly going to defend the Vatican on this one but the Vatican is not Italy. Secondly, does Iran’s access to nuclear energy mean it has/can develop nuclear weapons?
They missed the foreign debt interest payment but not the domestic one.

Where it stubbornly flourishes and spreads against every attempt to eradicate it. Like Patterson’s Curse in a sandstone rock face. It picks up in a crack or two, sets seed and then a short time afterwards, the entire verge and then nearby paddocks are a sea of purple every Spring.
Remember, Christians all but brought down Roman society not by sheer force of arms, but by being so incredibly different that people were either drawn to their message and changed character, and this example in turn led them to Believe. Or they were so enraged in rebellion that they overreached and ruined themselves…
“FUCK OFF.”

If introducing potentially harmful substances into a child’s body is considered child abuse, then that action should be stopped. In this case, however, the parents are in lockstep with the State and get a free pass
If parents are in lockstep with the State, it must be because they think it a good thing, but why is that? In almost every aspect of life and for decades, Australian adults have been encouraged to listen to the State’s advice. A quick review of just one government website – NSW Health – illustrates the way in which the individual’s decision making can be nudged in certain ways without it would seem much pushback and just by offering up some information easily accessed. By now there are a couple of generations who’ve been brought up to take a look on-line whenever there is a question to answer.
While I’m not suggesting that all government information should be viewed as being suspect – I’m sure that information on quitting smoking, environmental health and ending HIV, and alcohol and other drug decisions – some of the subjects covered by NSW Health under Awareness and prevention and Improving your health, – do provide some interesting information, as do the areas of immunisation, emergency health, sexual health, healthy built environments, oral health and ending HIV. You could say the gamut of health matters, no doubt all with links, can be found conveniently for all who need it. In fact, why go anywhere else if the subject matter appears to be straightforward?
But this is the problem: the State is not only the author of what is being “nudged,” it is the chief “nudger” as well.
Greg Hunt held a press conference earlier today spruiking the numbers of jabbed Australians. As he was talking I was thinking why isn’t he concerned about the many adverse reactions and possible/probable deaths from the vaccines; how could he continue to encourage people to get jabbed, including the 12+ age group, of which he said his own son was “immunised” last week?
So what we’re seeing is that the huge State investment in information provision and “nudging” has actually paid off: if the State provides all the detail in one place why go anywhere else? We’re at a stage where most people believe what the State tells them. (It’s a bit like watching 60 Minutes once a week when it was “a thing” – or in the “Old Days” checking out 4Corners – and thinking you’ve caught up with current affairs).
And in the case of immunisation, the country has had a robust (meaning widespread and very well supported) system for generations – who wouldn’t support it? For Hunt, like for so many other parents, if he didn’t actually believe what the health authorities were telling him about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines, then his decision about his own son’s health would be unbelievably shocking.
Whatever happened to muscular fighting Christianity?
Like every other institution it has been marched through.
Secondly, does Iran’s access to nuclear energy mean it has/can develop nuclear weapons?
It helps.
Depending on your reactor design, you can get away with some pretty low-percentage uranium isotopes for your fuel rods.
But others (like fast-breeders) need a higher degree of enrichment, and also generate plutonium.
H-bombs use plutonium.
So, by the choice of reactor design and the various public statements and private actions it has engaged in since 1979, it is inevitable that Iran either has some capacity, or seeks to develop it.
It is not yet as significant a threat as Oraq’s Osirak reactor was, as parts of Iran are not yet glowing craters with the smoke trails of Israeli jets disappearing over the horizon. But the vigilance must be maintained, as Tehran only needs to get it right once. It’s neighbours must get it right every time…
Greg Hunt is desperate to be liked & he dreams of being accepted.
That’s why he completed a degree in climate change.

Your spelling is usually faultless. What’s up?
I can’t understand Pope Frank’s logic….Christianity is dying in Western Europe, due to secularism, feminism, progressive politics, breakdown of family, low birthrate and immigration of a certain religious ideology. Eastern Europe is trying to mount a defence against all of these things…and yet Pope Frank goes to Hungary and lectures Victor Orban….who is trying to rejuvenate Christianity and to protect Hungarian Christian culture and the Jewish community in Hungary is safe and growing, unlike in Western Europe…hmm….wonder why?
I suppose, as someone said above, Pope Frank really is a communist.
Vatican II happened and appeasement to all things of the world and conforming to the world has continued since then.
I liked Pope Benedict…he emanated holiness, wisdom and knowledge. And I’m not even a Christian.
Cassie, I thought so too. But then I noticed stark differences between what he writes and what the media say he writes. I’ve come to the conclusion that, yes, he’s a Leftist for sure; but I don’t think a far Leftist.
Utter tosh Gab. People were leaving the Church in droves before VII due to latin masses, strange practices (priest facing altar not people) and a whole heap of shite that had been picked up over the years. VII, is about returning to initial teachings, small Christian communities. It’s not about numbers at all. It’s about faith.
And I might add Gab.
You think the Great John Paul II really helped the Church “appease” to the world?

https://www.virta.global/blog/myth-buster-electric-vehicles-will-overload-the-power-grid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2IKCdnzl5k&t=206s
Some years ago I was watching an engineer from Western Power (the Perth electricity provider) talking with a TV host about future power supply issues facing Perth.
The host asked the engineer what his greatest fear was, was it more and more large screen TVs or was it more air-conditioning units being installed?
The engineer pondered the question for a few moments and said that neither of those two were their real fear, what they feared was the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. The host was a bit taken aback, he was probably a greenie, and he spluttered why are electric vehicles a problem?
The engineer calmly pointed out the situation. He said that if the workforce returned home from a day at work and they all plugged their cars into the charger at around the same time, the grid would melt. Basically, he said that the present grid would have to be duplicated, more poles and wires down every street, to cater for large scale electric vehicle adoption.
The host didn’t ask where the power was going to come from.
It’s quite funny how Steve Harker has gotten caught up in the Pandora Papers tax avoidance news.
When he was at Morgan Stanley he spear headed a “corporations should pay their fair share” initiative.
Which then in turn got him the gig at the Future Fund because he was viewed as acceptable by Gillard & Swan.
What a total hypocrite.
I suppose, as someone said above, Pope Frank really is a communist.
South America’s Liberation Theology was all about Marxist capture and subversion of the massive hold the Church had on society there.
That it happened to gel beautifully with Jesuit thinking and teaching, and the revolutionary headiness of the Perón era in Argentina (Francis was intimately involved in his administration) was icing on the cake.
You wanna see a skinsuit made by SJW entryism and infiltration tactics over a generation or two (or even three)? I give you the post-John Paul II Catholic Church. Though I have no doubt the intriguing was already going on during his papcy.
Joseph Ratzenberger had not the stomach nor the remaining energy for the fight.
“All the efforts that have been made and are being made by the Vatican are to eliminate nuclear weapons because they are not the way to maintain peace and security in the world. They create even more dangers for peace and even more conflict.’’
Bullshit, nuclear weapons arguably hold the level of violence down to something manageable because when you get down to it nobody wants their country to disappear.
As for Iran, unless they are faking everyone out, they have gone down the uranium enrichment path for a nuke. Makes building the weapon much easier but you need more U235 than you would Pu239. The later is harder to make a bomb with as you need an implosion type design with very tight mechanical and timing constraints. Gun types don’t work with Pu, or didn’t used to. Nowadays with better explosives and improved gun design it might just be possible.
“Lenticular lens implosion” seems technically easy and compact.
Pope Frankie is a weak, conniving weasel.
He is not an intellect.
He is not a leader.
A pure politician who would do anything to be liked by the blue ticks on twitter.
“Lenticular lens implosion” seems technically easy and compact.
The devil is in the details and getting it to work. The Iranians seem to have gone the “build a nuclear reactor for power and then use that power to enrich uranium to build a weapon” route. Although as I said this may be a fakeout while they quietly separate Pu239 from fuel rods.
Don’t know what good it will do them. Last I heard the Israelis had 200 boosted fission weapons of up to 500kT yield each.
I’m confident the church, even in Europe will survive.
It survived the massacres and confiscations of the French revolution, of the Carlinist wars in Spain, the massacres of the Spanish civil war, world warII communism etc etc
I have seen many young and vibrant parishes in Europe, even new religious orders with many young brothers and sisters, in Barcelona, Florence, Mont San Michel even the church of Saint Gervais in Paris now has a new religious order installed.

What are the options for the gummint?
1. Settle out of court for reinstatement without a vax and get them to sign an NDA? If these people turn up to work the following day everyone knows who won. The queue will be massive for similar complainants.
2. Settle out of court and pay compo (again with an NDA)?
They can’t pay compo hoping the damage will be limited. What is the remaining life earnings of someone aged 30? And if they think it is l limited to a few of the 15%-ish unvaxxed, well, no. Because boosters. And forget NDAs. This would be around legal circles before lunch.

But settled how?
If they settle for reinstatement with no jab it is game over.
If they settle for sit-down money that will cost shitloads.
Eventually they will run up against someone who simply won’t settle.
I liked Pope Benedict…he emanated holiness, wisdom and knowledge. And I’m not even a Christian.
Which is why they got rid of him. JPII was pretty amazing too. We didn’t know how lucky we were with those two.
Dunno Panzer, he was only getting into it then the Tom Brady game started so turn Barnes off.
It sounds like Barnes has an enormous team of affiliates working for him in multiple US states & counties.

Vaccine Passports (Monday, Monday)
Verse 1:
Vaccine Passports, we’ve lost our way
Vaccine Passports, who would’ve thought we’d be here like this today
Rona’s warning gave the suborning of what was to be
That Vaccine Passports would be the end of liberty
Chorus:
Every other day, every other day
Every other day the jacks are out there, yeah
But no matter what they’ll do, But no matter what they’ll do,
They’ll find us all standing firm.
Verse 2:
Vaccine Passports, can’t trust the state,
Vaccine Passports you must know they’re all reprobates,
So ‘Rona’s state minions, used every infringement to pillory,
But you will know that we will stand ‘til we’re all free.
Verse 3:
Vaccine Passports, won’t stop the spread,
Vaccine Passports, it’s not the virus we should dread,
But lockdowns and dictates and government mandates should never be,
And this is not nor ever can be democracy
The Hunter has ample water. A couple more dams should satisfy the worriers and help with hideous flooding that occurs with monotonous regularity.
But, no! Let’s do a stupid shiny green thing! Because reasons.
It’s time we had a full and frank discussion about the (pound)#metoo movement, peoples.
Heard on JJJ nooze this morning that the Ratalphabet* has denounced the Thicke (and by association, various others) as a sexual abuser of her good self.
We essayed this back in 2013 on the ol’ Cat, when “that video**” was released.
Is this a desperate quest for relevance, or what? Give it away, girl. Don’t put your family through this. As for the Thicke, his marriage collapsed shortly afterwards.
If you’re struggling to comprehend the ridiculousness of the allegations, feel free to watch the video.
* Tried to find a bikini picture of her that wasn’t off the scale and couldn’t.
**Trigger warning: Next to naked young women.
By definition, everything she wore was “skintight”.

JP II? The one who placed a statue of Buddha on top of the tabernacle on the altar in Italy? The one who kissed the Koran? That JP II? Pfft.
OK I stand corrected- now that you mention it I do recall that JPII was a bit thick with Islamists back in ’94.
Funnily enough, the only portion of the Church that has been showing great growth, especially among the yoof and young families, are those who attended the ”Latin Mass”. The Usus Antiquior, the Mass of the Ages the same Mass the great Saints worshipped at or offered up.
And the only area of growth in terms of converts, reverts, ordinations and religious, and is the area Pope Francis is currently shutting down because, as he said, he hates anything of the Tradition.
The Mass of the Ages. This is what Francis is attempting to kill off.

Denis Shanahan on Credlin pointing out that Pileofsh1t (h/t Diogenes) said she wants more money for QLD’s health system before the borders can be opened because of the risk of more cases. Well, this is all down to Morrison – he has behaved like a gutless wonder on letting the premiers get away with everything over the last 20 months, including on the borders. He’s hanged the nation to dry, now he’s getting what we deserves.
Shanahan went on to say that the Newspoll shows lots of people parking their vote with the smaller parties – disaffected conservatives, libertarians and some from the left. ‘The politics of the pandemic is eroding the Government’s support.’
Exactly!

On EV’s – just look at the energy consumption numbers
Per Annum. 2018/19 by sector
Road Transport : 1,231 PJ – about a 55/45 split diesel/petrol
Electricity Supply: 1,591 PJ
Residential: 461 PJ
Now petrol transport is pretty much all private. Commercial road transport uses diesel (as does uch private these days). So 45% of 1231 = 494 PJ
There’s more energy being consumed by private cars than there is all forms of residential energy (electricity, gas, oil)
He’s lost my vote and any respect I had for him.
Same with, I suspect, hundreds of thousands (at least) other very disaffected Liberal voters.
I have zero sympathy for the weak, spineless POS who sold out his own base to appease the left.
Don’t watch it.
Seriously, it is just covid-porn bullshit, and it will drive you mad.
I go to SBS Food to avoid it.
Or hit the kill switch.
Duncanm
It’s not realistic to look at things that way. By far, the most energy being used is in commercial use dwarfing all else. In a way, that’s also a form of private consumption because the energy is being used to satisfy end users .. consumers.
We always seem to end up at this point with the Liberals.
They might want to look at what’s happened to the CDU’s vote in Germany as Merkel has led them to the small “l” liberal centre where the votes supposedly are. Down to c. 19% of the vote.
Calli,
Like you, I watched the 6pm news on the Seven network until last week (when a mate with whom I shared dinner most evenings moved to the other side of Victoria).
To say that 7 News has become state media for the Victorian government understates its bias. It was unwatchable – and was usually a day behind what I had already learned from the Cat.
I take it you are still going cold turkey. Good girl. The TV news no longer tells you anything you didn’t already know.

Utter tosh Gab. People were leaving the Church in droves before VII due to latin masses, strange practices (priest facing altar not people) and a whole heap of shite that had been picked up over the years. VII, is about returning to initial teachings, small Christian communities. It’s not about numbers at all. It’s about faith.
You’re spouting third-hand pseudo-scholarly tosh form the 60s, Lysander my friend. Did the New Testament church really sit around on beanbags strumming guitars and digging Pete Seeger?
I rarely touch the Silly Moaning Hemorrhoid – it’s bad for my blood pressure – but a neighbour showed me today’s edition which drips with nasty anti-Christian bile in it letters pages and opinion columns over Perrotet and Stokes, with Scomo’s Pentecostalism thrown in for good measure. The hypocritical scum would never, of course, publish anything remotely so vicious against Islam, Aboriginal religion or the alphabet soup of fashionable so-called genders and sexualities. If they did (at least in Yarragrad), they would probably end up in jail. But I suppose it doesn’t do to get too worked up about the SMH: as the inimitable Up the Workers once put it, only a few more circuits of the toilet bowl before it disappears forever to its rightful place down the S-bend of history.
That other intellectual and cultural colostomy bag of, by and for the lying, perjuring, sociopathic dregs of the Stalinist pervert lumpenintelligentsia at the ABC has the taxpayer’s teat to support it regardless.

Setting the taboos is a means of controlling the narrative.
she is such a survivor! I don’t know how she does it. :/ sarc off
Moreover, the extremist reactionary religious and social views the leftards and their ABC/Fairfax claque rail against in Perrotet would have seemed like plain common sense to an earlier generation of Labor leaders such as Lyons, Scullin, Forde, Chifley, McGirr, Cahill and Renshaw.
Well done
Why be worried about Covid and jabs? We are all going to die of heat. In the lead up to the climate fest in Glasgow the climate shrills in the media are trying to earn their brownie points with lots of scary stories. I had to laugh at this one in the Oz which warned us Aussies that the the next six months is gonna be hotta than the last six months. Oh gosh we are moving into summer after a cold winter.
Sydney and Brisbane brace for hottest weather in six months after massive storms https://www.theaustralian.com.au/breaking-news/sydney-brisbane-bracing-hottest-weather-in-six-months-just-days-after-massive-storms/news-story/c96bd835c2a74d9ec6a449fd23ae8496

We know you can be jabbed and still get and transmit covid (these jabs don’t work at all).
I’d be very interested to see any studies which document the exact amount of difference in transmission rates between vaxxed people and an unvaxxed people.
The main claim to fame for vaccines now is they minimise symptoms. Evidence of that is needed too.

There It Is – Study Finds Predominance of Antibody-Resistant SARS-CoV-2 Variants in Vaccine Breakthrough Cases in San Francisco Bay Area
The California study finds that vaccinated individuals are more susceptible to COVID variant infections than unvaccinated. Geer Vanden Bossche has been warning that vaccine antibodies would suppress natural antibody responses. The vaccine antibodies take control of the immune system and defend only against a targeted virus.
Among vaccinated individuals, a COVID variant virus is not recognized by the specialized antibodies provided by the vaccine, and the natural antibodies have been programmed to stand down.
(MedRxiv) Associations between vaccine breakthrough cases and infection by SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants have remained largely unexplored. Here we analyzed SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome sequences and viral loads from 1,373 persons with COVID-19 from the San Francisco Bay Area from February 1 to June 30, 2021, of which 125 (9.1%) were vaccine breakthrough infections. Fully vaccinated were more likely than unvaccinated persons to be infected by variants carrying mutations associated with decreased antibody neutralization.
[…] These findings suggest that vaccine breakthrough cases are preferentially caused by circulating antibody-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants, and that symptomatic breakthrough infections may potentially transmit COVID-19 as efficiently as unvaccinated infections. (read more)
Be careful around vaccinated people, because they can carry a more resistant form of COVID-19. Additionally, the highly specialized antibodies in the vaccine create a need for a booster for each antibody resistant variant. Israel is already on booster #2.

Senator Ron Johnson Shares COVID-19 Data from Public Health England, Refutes “Pandemic of The Unvaccinated” Narrative
Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) used his time on the Senate floor to discuss recently released COVID-19 data from Public Health England in the U.K. [DATA pdf Here]
Ironically, Senator Johnson is forced to use the Senate floor to share the information in an effort to stop government and Big Tech censorship of the discussion. Unlike the rest of the nation, the House and Senate chamber rules create a free speech zone that prohibits anyone from censoring congressional debate and discussion.
Senator Johnson outlines data from the U.K. clearly showing the vaccines offer no protection from the claimed Delta variant. COVID-19 is carried and shed by vaccinated individuals. The subsequent rate of COVID-19 hospitalization and COVID-19 death appears unaffected by the vaccine itself. WATCH:

Great comment and 100% true.

It’s not realistic to look at things that way. By far, the most energy being used is in commercial use dwarfing all else. In a way, that’s also a form of private consumption because the energy is being used to satisfy end users .. consumers.
It is if you are estimating the power/energy requirement for charging electric cars at home.
I can see that they won’t be allowed to do that and you’ll have to go to a charging station.
Another question is – if cars are all electric, what are they going to do with the part of the barrel of oil that makes petrol? Heavy trucks seem to be resistant to electrification and electric jets (or props) are a fantasy so you are still going to need diesel and jet fuel (very similar things really).
An absolute tour de force, Squire. Magnificent.
A thing of beauty.
John Constantine would be proud of that. All that’s missing is…comrades.

Enough, Bear, I’m just trying to remain hip to da yoof. The news breaks in particular, are seriously intolerable. They have a “female” news reader whose voice would have made a very effective air raid siren in Britain in 1940.
And that’s barely scratching the surface of their idiocy and contempt for their audience. Why I subject myself to it can only be explained by the fact that I’ve turned into my old man, who used to read the SMH and watch and listen to the ALPBC so he had something to be self righteously annoyed about.
I can understand that maybe Costello had had enough by 2007 but I was surprised he didn’t stick around and take the fight to Ruddfilth.
