JC, it’s fascinating how all the stories have ebbed and flowed in a maelstrom of misinformation and conjecture.
I have zero expertise in this. Curiously, I just spent a couple of days with people who should have plenty of expertise due to their quals and professional experience. But I couldn’t get a rational answer from them either. And we discussed the lot because I’m an inquisitive bugger and love to hear other opinions, especially ones that challenge my own.

One other qualitative argument I’d put up against yours. I’d argue that the people who vaxxed up first in these nations in Africa and India (itself) would likely be those with better hygiene routines and more concern with individual well being than the rest of the population.
I don’t understand. I looked but couldn’t find. Was John H threatened? Why?
Yes, JC. Was the vaccine rollout a freebie in those places? Or was payment expected. There has been a lot of handwringing about “vaccine inequality” right from the start.
It makes sense that the well-to-do in third world countries would get first dibs.
Calli
We know very little about this virus and I think this time around the so-called experts have not only slathered raw egg over their faces but they’ve done untold damage in other areas where calling in the experts has been the thing. Gerbil warming is a prime candidate.
The data has been fucking horrendous and every huge prediction has ended up as crap.
Covid has destroyed “expertology” and “expertologists”.
“Covid has destroyed “expertology” and “expertologists”.”
Covid has also destroyed epidemiology.
The site’s thought leader told him to fuck off from his thread. I don’t think JohnH was groveling enough or showing eternal gratitude it had been posted. Same with John Brumble.
I’m going into hospital on Monday morning…..despite being double jabbed I have to have a Covid test on Friday which shows negative before I’m admitted.
Aaron, in a very recent past I would have assumed the “sudden death” press release was code for suicide. Especially when every news story only quotes the press release and no independent analysis is done.
However the blizzard of obfuscation by the MSM about athletes dying make me immediately assume it’s a vaxx related death.
Happy to be proved wrong.
(PS have you seen the Key and Peel video Substitute Teacher
.“You done messed up, A-A-Ron! Go see Oh-Shag-Hennessy”)
Covid has destroyed “expertology” and “expertologists”.
Except for our own Dr Flyingduk. Seems to have a great understanding. I would have bet money that I would test positive and he goes back to real world test on Ruby Princess and says that I wouldn’t and yep, I didn’t.
We shouldn’t think that there isn’t real understanding and expertise in this area. Just thus far that everyone claiming to be an expert is actually an idiot grifter.
You’re braver than me cass. I’m also supposed to go in for a botox shot to the gullet on Monday. Covid check on Saturday and isolation beginning Friday. Screw that. Also our kid is arriving from the US and she’s supposed to isolate too. Her arrival and isolation would invalidate mine, I think. WTF knows anymore.

I was speaking to another cat tonight and said in twenty years of playing weekly sport I have never seen anyone go down clutching their chest. That’s something that would stick in your mind.
The idea that actual professional sportsmen have a high incidence of these issues might be true statistically, or not, but can you remember watching pro sport and seeing anyone ever go down with heart issues?
In other news, the rain was so torrential on the Qld border that we decided to drive the 600km back rather than drown for yet another day.
Sunshine and hungry butcherbirds greeted us upon arrival. Nice to be wanted.
If you’re look, you will find it. Omicron in Netherlands before South Africa.
Maybe the Jaapies are the victims of the vaxxed Euro’s?
And no word of a lie, as soon as news of Omicron surface, Teh Grauniad had an opinion column article up that declared the reason Omicron existed was due to vaccine apartheid.
Not enough of South Africans had been gene therapised, therefore it was whitey’s fault.

Somehow we’re all expected to believe heart blowups in otherwise healthy young men are normal.
Only when there was a juicy penalty in the offing…
They have a better justice system than we have but more importantly, they have a working federation.
Over here we have a “national cabinet” where the state and Federal leaders gather and establish an identical set of procedures and rules, there’s no dissension. In the USA the states are free to contest federal laws, and the state’s leaders don’t all sing from the same songbook.

How is the family visit going?
Thinking about it, England batsman Ken Barrington had a heart attack at 40, while he was still playing, Wally Grout dropped dead from heart failure at 40, he was only retired 2 years, Hawthorn footballer John Kennedy had heart problems, from memory it caused his retirement at a fairly young age.
Plenty of professional 6 day cyclists have dropped dead, PED related.
Jim Fixx, he wrote The Joy Of Running, dropped dead at 52, while running.
I think the message is:
After about 35, don’t do anything to strain the Heart.

But…in the U.K., “asian” is usually a reference to Indian, Pakistani…the like…people.
Has been suggested it’s all about Vitamin-D. That darker you are naturally, the more sunlight is required to make the same amount of Vitamin -D. D3 blood concentrations of greater than 47.5 ng/ml ( about 125 nmol/ml on your local blood test) are supposed to pretty much prevent the spike protein binding.
That simple huh!
That was clear mid-lockdown last year but more and more as this drags on. Everything I learned during my school years and reading up on it later has been kicked aside to make room for “Science”. The power hungry bureaucrats have done it with the assistance of woke idiots who wanted to pose as the clever people.
The one person who has done the most to destroy epidemiology is Fauci. He went back on his original statement about masks being next to useless by doubling and tripling down in the other direction. Now nobody believes anything.
Omicron was identified first in SA. Who knows were it originated.
You have a single population. The virus is trying to spread across the population. Both vaxx and unvaxxed are carriers, vaxxed use a narrow line of defence. This promotes variants that work around that narrow line of defence. See Marek effect.

Jack Dorsey is a creep, liar and all round weirdo but there’s that old saying…..”better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know”.
I think Twitter has lost a lot of its gloss. Its light is dimming and flickering and one day the light will go out. That day cannot come soon enough. Whilst there are conservatives and libertarians on the platform (and they are brave), it’s a platform heavily dominated by progressive leftists and thus it’s full of nasty, unhinged, embittered, vicious, violent, hypocritical and narcissistic progressive SCUM.
Dover
In a low vaxed population, who would you guess are the likely cause of the variants? The vaxed or the unvaxed. Also, you appear to be ignoring that almost no one was vaxed in India and yet you seem to be suggesting the probability was 50/50 vaxxed and unvassed. No it wasn’t.
It appears to be Africa on numbers, which is where most people believe it originated.
If virus can break through even 60% of the vaxxed as has been suggested for Delta, then the variants are likely emerging with the unvaxxed as there’s more virus in this group.
Rangas Rule!

Okay, but let’s get down to tin tacks here, Cassie.
Are any of those conservatives and libertarians on Twitter, Gay?
Climate change destroyed climate science too.
What’s next.
Cassie, you do have a way with words.
There has been a longstanding debate about the relationship between cardio issues and intense sport, especially endurance sports. Lots of problems sorting that out because of performance enhancing drug use increasing some types of cardiac issues. So I was pleased to note some months ago that Australia is conducting a study of endurance athletes to try and sort this out.
I’m not a fan of sustained endurance exercise because I believe, from only a common sense point of view, that sustained high physiological stress is a net negative. For resistance training many argue 45 minutes per session is enough rather than spending hours in the gym. A recent analysis even contradicted the long held view that one must always train to failure.
All those people doing so much intense training are not benefiting their overall health. They love it, either for the joy of the exercise or goal of winning. I get that. I don’t even like the 40 minute restriction I place on my workouts. People are entitled to those choices but I trust they are not deceived into thinking that huge amounts of time doing aerobic exercise and having bulging muscles are markers of optimum health.

Just more grifters, or what?
The fear, as I understand it, is that highly vaxxed but leaky communities may produce the opposite – a more deadly mutation.
They are 2 different things. Mutation requires a threshold of carriers. What % of the total population that is is moot. Mutation and virulence or lethality, not transmissibility, is another thing. Some viruses have mutated to a greater lethality – myoxma, zika, hep B – while their transmissibility has not increased or declined, ie SARS and MERS.
One thing for sure, the viruses are going to win.
The Marek Effect:
What Dover0Beach was speaking of above at 8:03 pm.
Perhaps that is what is intended – the vaccinated forcing a more virulent strain to emerge.
I can’t think of anything else to explain the hysteria from the Brahmin Class about getting everyone jabbed.
Sixties powerlifter Bill Starr remembered Isometrics, it was big in the middle 1960s, the US Olympic Swimmingt Team achieved good results with it, then PEDS came along and Isometrics went out the window.
Time Magazine also had an article on it, around 1968.
It would still work, in my opinion, the difficulty is finding a Power Rack with 2 inch spacing.
I think the message is:
Never trust Grigory to provide anything approximating honest advice or analysis about everything.
Once again- Fuck off Grigory, before your lethal and malicious ineptitude gets some lurker killed.
“I can’t think of anything else to explain the hysteria from the Brahmin Class about getting everyone jabbed.”
An inconvenient control group just won’t do.
Dr Peter Herbert, a physiologist from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David has written encouragingly about High Intensity Interval Training, where less time and greater effort over short periods is most beneficial for VO2max, leg power, fat loss, muscle gain, greater testosterone levels, improved performance and greater general health benefits.
Dr. Doug McGuff (Body by Science) favours resistance training but also with a High Intensity Training focus for the best outcomes.
Now I’ve read and accepted the HIT regime, all I have to do is get off my lard arse and start.

December 1, 2021 at 8:12 pm
Don’t agree. I think “waltz” is a more accurate term versus “break”. The vaxxed are the ones with a innate immune response rendered disfunctional and in its’ place, piss poor grossly inefficient antibodies prone to ADE and promoting viral escape.

Mutation, meaning what? That it can start either in the unvaxed or vaxed? That is true, but that isn’t the point. If variance can occur in either of these two groups then what is the probability it began in the (Indian) 2% vaxed group vs the 98% unvaxed. Surely you don’t believe the probability is equal.
The trend was always biased towards sustained aerobic training but it is now recognised that resistance training confers many benefits. HIIT is great. When I was young I joked that the biggest beneficiaries of the aerobic craze will be orthopedic surgeons.

Disagree.
A genetic Heart condition won’t necessarily shorten life, provided the person avoids putting himself under stress, such as running a hundred miles a week.
Wikipedia (yes I know) says that exercise physiologist Kenneth Cooper blamed all factors combining to shorten Fixx’s life.
* Genetically predisposed—his father died of a heart attack at 43 after a previous one at 35.
* Fixx himself had a congenitally enlarged heart
* He had previously led an unhealthy life: Fixx was a heavy smoker before beginning running at age 36, had a stressful occupation, had undergone a second divorce, and gained weight up to 214 pounds (97 kg).

Great news! Sky News is spreading the task of covering the black hole left by Alan Jones’s sudden departure last month.
Rita Panahi was the obvious choice to fill Jones’s 8pm hour, which she has dione in recent weeks, but tonight we got Rowan Dean, who hosts the network’s top rating show on Sunday mornings, Outsiders.
Which leads me to believe we’ll soon get Rita back on Sunday morning instead of Shakepearean method actor fill-in Daisy Cousens, who’s constantly playing to the gods up the back in her loudest theatrical voice.
That is true, but that isn’t the point. If variance can occur in either of these two groups then what is the probability it began in the (Indian) 2% vaxed group vs the 98% unvaxed. Surely you don’t believe the probability is equal.
Vaccination seems to reduce the infection load. That is as important as the number of infected. 2% unvaccinated may compensate for that smaller % compared to the vaccinated % by carrying around much larger infection loads allowing mutations to occur in the 2%.

It’s not suitable as an electricity generation energy source, as it’s markedly less efficient than traditional gas fired boilers. It has applications in thermal plants – e.g. glass manufacturing or ammonia production.
It’s only viable if subsidised as a low emissions technology on the basis of its ability to compress and sequester the CO2 produced in the combustion phase.
So it uses up resources faster, is nonviable without subsidies, and sends vast quantities of highly compressed CO2 deep into the earths crust, where it will stay forever……. riiiight.
It’s a scam.

The vaxxed. Just think about it. They’re providing the selective pressure.
Variations are random, the question is about their selection in a population.
Where it originates is beside the point as variations are random. What isn’t random is how they replace existing variants by outcompeting them.
JC, the rate of infection is higher in vaxxed group in UK.
Quite the opposite, in fact. What they seem to be saying is that “vaccination” reduces the symptoms. Which means that it’s the vaccinated who can carry a much larger infection load, with the potential to infect everyone around them, without necessarily feeling seriously ill.
I was saying that the un-vaccinated in India at the time of the Delta variant coming on stream was 98% vs 2% vaxxed. I think you muddled it up, but concur with my point. Focus please.
Really, how so?
I think you mean this Cassie:
Taibbi: Will Twitter Become An Ocean Of Suck? (30 Nov)
A: Yes.
So is flipping a coin and coming up heads. Randomness doesn’t change probability.
This could be for a host of reasons. But again, it doesn’t change the probability of the group where Delta and Om originated. For that matter, where’s the British “delta” the American one or even the Australian variant?
Christian Porter’s political career is over and he’s been hounded out of parliament because of the ludicrous ravings of a demented woman who took her own life and whose ludicrous ravings were used by a monstrous regimen of very entitled and progressive South Australian women for political point scoring……to destroy the man and bring down a Liberal government. And what did Scumbag Morrison do? He fell for it hook line and sinker.
Meanwhile, in federal parliament, a sitting Labor MP with an allegation against him sits unhindered yet the woman who made the allegation against him is alive and well and has never withdrawn her allegation. Note that she’s never been given airtime on their ABC.
You could not make this up.
For the record, I don’t like Porter but that’s irrelevant. The whole allegation against him was bullshit and stank to high heaven. As for the Labor MP, I don’t know whether the allegation against him is true or not….but that’s not the point. The point is the utter hypocrisy of the left, the MSM, social media sewers and Scumbag Morrison.
The whole thing is a disgrace. Scumbag Morrison refuses to stand by his own. Therefore there’s no reason for Liberal voters to stand by Scumbag Morrison.

Analogy: leather armour unvaxxed. Chainmail vaxxed.
Delta is spear. Pierces leather but has difficulty with chainmail. Chainmail is providing selective pressure. Variations in spear design begin to favour heavier spears or spearheads that can pierce chainmail.
And?
You would only get that if they were using significantly different vaccines.
You;’re not making any sense there.
Porter couldn’t continue as A/G since he was taking the ABC to Court.
Scotty shifted him to a Portfolio of equal standing.
Later Porter resigned rather than disclose the identities of Donors to the Trust that paid his Legal Costs.
Tony Smith said the other day that as Speaker he would’ve referred Porter to the Privileges Committee over that, had he the power to.
So, Porter was the author of his own misfortune, though he did announce his Retirement gracefully.
How about we check your CCTV footage, Grigory?
“And” to this:
Again.. 98 people are unvaxxed and 2 are vaxxed. For the sake of argument both groups are equally susceptible, which group is likely to get hit first? So its origination is not beside the point.
Most certainly it isn’t beside the point when the two variants we’re concerned with emerged from low vax populations.
Old School Conservative,
I think when they say someone has a genetic enlarged heart they are talking of the Aorta, which can blow up a few times as big as it’s recommended size before it goes pop.
A number of athletes I know of died from this. It is by definition a heart attack. No symptoms and unless you get help within minutes you are dead.
I was fortunate enough to have mine discovered a few years ago. To correct it I was eight hours on the slab. I’m a member of the zipper club.

No. After a some more research it appears that there is no difference in viral load between unvaccinated and vaccinated people. I’ll let head prefect continue counting his fingers now.
Any farmer worth the name, now knows that over-use of a single product is the quickest way to produce resistant varieties of whatever it is that you are trying to control.
It has always been stupid to vaccinate those at very low risk of an adverse c19 outcome.
Keep in mind the difference between how such varieties originate – which is random – and how over-use of the vaccine selects for vaccine-resistant varieties in the most heavily-treated populations.
Unvaxxed get pierced by spear whatever the weight so in that circumstance why would unvaxxed lead to selection of heavier spear?

“Cases are often missed or misdiagnosed,” he said. “Practitioners may not recognise the risk of harm involved, chalking up these accusations to mental health problems or delusion.
Dr Naomi Richman, from the University of Cambridge, said the aim was to provide tools “to navigate cultural and religious sensitivities” while “steering clear from negative and damaging stereotypes”.
She said: “Efforts are needed to break down the stigma in beliefs in witchcraft and possession, as these are common to so many cultures around the world and are rarely used to justify harm.”
The scheme is a collaboration between the Met and the London Borough of Redbridge, Chester and Cambridge universities, and Barnardo’s National Female Genital Mutilation Centre

The Tottori is my drink tonight. Nothing extraordinary, but does the job.
Cohenite the problem I have with that is it seems incongruent with what we know about infections generally. The difference might be in the period of time for carrying the same viral load. As in …
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00648-4/fulltext
Interpretation
Vaccination reduces the risk of delta variant infection and accelerates viral clearance. Nonetheless, fully vaccinated individuals with breakthrough infections have peak viral load similar to unvaccinated cases and can efficiently transmit infection in household settings, including to fully vaccinated contacts. Host–virus interactions early in infection may shape the entire viral trajectory.
This is not impressive, I was expecting a more positive impact of the vax:

I remember a stack overflow message when I tried to tweak a program ini file. Really dumb thing to do because files were corrupted. Fortunately had stuff backed up.
bloody hell … another frontier !
righto, tried to purchase some but foiled because they had the ‘I am not a robot’ thing
IIRC Fixx was badly overweight and a 2 pack per day smoker until he was 36. So that may not be as surprising as it seems.
I was raised on vodka instead of mother’s milk. So, whatever has a skull and crossbones is my drink of choice (insert evil laugh here)
James D Hornfischer’s book “Ship Of Ghosts” is a very good account of the war service of the American heavy cruiser U.S.S. Houston, and the suffering of the survivors of that sinking, in Japanese POW Camps.
One group of P.O.W’s extracted a subtle revenge. Ordered to heat water, on a regular basis, for their Japanese guards to bathe, they p!ssed in the bath water……
It doesn’t matter, those who worship man’s science will take them anyway, because that’s always what happens when the unholy war against God –

Exercise increases the body’s own ‘cannabis’ which reduces chronic inflammation, says new study
I often wondered how exercise reduces chronic inflammation when it increases transient inflammation. The endocannabinoid system is a primary inhibitor of inflammation and declines with age. The omega 3 fatty acid, DHA, is an important substrate for the production of our cannabinoids and omega 3 deficiency is not uncommon. A recent study even claimed that omega 3 concentrations in the blood are as good a predictor of mortality from any cause as smoking,
It can’t be that simple but it does tie up with a number of other health related issues.
Not 1981, more late 90’s.
And, more pertinently….. All ‘never protested in my lifers’
FACTCHECK: True
I bought my first bottle by accident at Heathrow in 1985 for 20 Quid
Its a smokey drop, perfect for maudlin occasions like wakes
At the expense of inducing much horror and chagrin amongst more discerning whiskey drinkers than I (much like the first time I invited people to have a workplace Christmas lunch at IKEA in Perth. The looks on some of the North-of-the-Rover folk were glorious… 😀 ), the Highland Earl blended whiskey from ALDI is a mightily fine and very smooth drop.And only $26 a bottle.
Try some. It’s nowhere near as much a shock to the system as IKEA horsemeat balls for a ‘fancy’ lunch prior to Christmas holiday…
Sorry for the mislead, Cats.
Presently $33 due to supply chain shenaniganry. BUT, it is almost as good as a good Limeburners or Whipper Snapper tipple at 1/10 and 1/3 the cost, respectively.

1) Did everybody forget this one?
A direct comparison on the “effectiveness” of AZ can’t be draw given the health care workers who tested positive with the Alpha and then again with Delta later on – as they were not jabbed pre Alpha.
But, the viral load is 251 times higher on “re-infection” post jabbing? “…7-8 weeks after the second dose…Most were asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and all recovered.”
So what does that actually mean? Eight weeks on, post AZ dose 2, “all recovered” yet pumping out virus like never before. How can somebody be “recovered” if they are still pumping out virus?
Median time from diagnosis to negative PCR was 21 days (range 8–33).
It is not clear at what point in the median time the “recovered” bit applies. The overwhelming majority of unjabbed people will not even realise the bug has been encountered. The vast majority of the those will in the event the virus ever makes it in and replicates, be shedding for perhaps a few days to less than a week. The overwhelming majority of the population (previously) having an excellent innate response and cross reactive memory cell lines that are scaled up rapidly.
2) I am really over the idiocy of testing everybody. Healthy people that is. Just because there may be bits of corona stuck in somebody’s nose is meaningless.
The left over dead shit from a failed colonisation in the vast majority of people. Amp up those PCR cycles and next thing, perhaps in Victoria soon should Chairman Dan get his way, you’re off to some camp for at least a couple of weeks, along with anyone else you ran into in the last so many days.
Recall this? Is there actually a date on which these highly reliable and accurate testing methods are discontinued locally?
The true whiskey aficionado can’t go past a four litre plastic flagon of Suntory Red – only $30.
Mmmm, delicious.

‘Victorian scientists and manufacturers have created Australia’s first mRNA COVID-19 vaccine candidate – Australia’s first ever mRNA drug product – in just five months, enabling clinical trials to begin in the new year.
450 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine candidate have been produced in Boronia, enabling 124 people to take part in Phase 1 clinical trials run by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) – a joint venture partnership between the University of Melbourne and the Royal Melbourne Hospital.’

Mater’s Musings #43: Attention ‘Purebloods’
Dilbert
New candidate for French president, Zemmour, makes a strong speech and say what many of us think about our own country, in fact most of the weakened west. He’s proud of France’s heritage. He wants to rebuild the culture. He’s not impressed with the ceding of sovereignty to the EU.
It’s well worth reading and you can find it at Powerline blog.

Dilbert 2
Some good comments there too.
“New candidate for French president, Zemmour, “
I like Zemmour. On most things he’s 100% right. He’s also a provocateur. Funny how it might take a Jew to save France….however I doubt that will happen because the left will side with the Islamists and France will descend into civil war.
Houellebecq’s scenario in Submission will then play out.
Well. Here I am in Croatia. I have my darling wife and her son with me. He lost his job in Australia due to rejecting the vax and has emigrated to Poland. We are in Croatia because I finished my job in France and had to leave the shengen zone due to overstaying the allowed time. Therefore, we had to find a country that is both outside the shengen zone and accepts the non-vaccinated. Croatia it is. Lovely and interesting country with nice people and we intend to return at some point.
Anyhoo, my step-son is quite ill at the moment with a respiratory infection (cue the spooky music). We are currently staying at an inland resort in separate chalets but spent three days with him in Dubrovnic, then a few hours in a car together getting here.
I have been fully vaccinated for two months and my darling wife for just over one month. If the young fella does have the ‘Rona, then I believe the vaccines are at the most efficacious for the darling wife right now and to a slightly lesser extent me … I’m hoping they will protect us. Time will tell.
BTW have been discovering some really nice Croatian wines. Dingac red is superb.
Quite hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.
When JC gets challenged on his long years of supporting trade with China, based on his ultra simplistic views that they can produce cheaper (without feeling the need to question why), his only defense is to claim that anyone who bought anything Chinese has no right to challenge him on his position.
So I baited him and claimed I didn’t buy Chinese, so he then screamed “You couldn’t help but buy Chinese, everything is from China!”
Exactly.
Because fuck heads like you thought it was a good idea.
Until all environmental restrictions placed on the west were removed by the UN so a level playing field could have been achieved (which was not applied to China) we should not have traded with them at all.
Look at the mess we are now in for doing so.
You’re losing it JC.
And don’t you dare call anyone stupid since you’ve taken the vaxx of death.
How free are you, flashing your “good Nazi” pass around?
Then choo choo man, all butt hurt as usual, claims I was still working in vaccine mandated Queensland.
Funny that.
Queensland isn’t mandated until the middle of this month, whereupon I will not be working yet again.
And for all the vaxxed now calling for “don’t blame each other, that’s exactly what they want us to do” I say this.
Your submission to tyranny will put me and mine in a quarantine camp.
Should I be polite to you?
Not angry?
Remain united with you.
What do you offer?
What plus is there?
Look someone like Mater who waited until everyone else capitulated , or some women who lacked strong men around them, etc…I understand it’s hard.
But your actions have consequences.
Thank you for helping tyrants get the numbers up, so as to put those of us standing our ground in concentration camps.
In the real world, out at Rallies and within our local community there are many vaxxed that are fighting back, and I am united with them.
But they weren’t cats.
They never had anyone on the right pointing out exactly what was going on, that they then chose to ignore and ridicule.
That you own.
For people here were screaming about the dangers of taking the vaxx let alone the situation that it would empower tyrants to then put in place, a digital social credit system.
However, JC wanted to got to New York and, as much as I like Lizzie, she wanted to go on holidays.
And they took their jabs early on in the piece, and now want us all to play nicely with them, when their actions have deadly consequences for others.
These are just facts.
Hard times, and wars, bring out the best and the worst in people.
What would Jesus have done?

Off you go then.
Also BTW: I was living in a house with four other blokes in France when two blokes caught the ‘Rona. The diseased pair were triple vaxxed and double vaxxed. The three who missed out were double vaxxed, single vaxxed and not vaxxed.
And while we are talking about smarts, I know many here, could not see through the bluster (caused by a lack of real confidence) by Frank, and considered him a smart man.
Has he killed himself being smarter than the rest of us, definitely smarter than Queensland rednecks still alive and with nothing to feel ashamed of?
It’s about time those terrible cats, who unlike most in the community, had the common sense reality of our situation presented to them time and time again, over the last two years, and who decided to ignore and ridicule the bleeding obvious being presented, stop calling for unity and acting as if they were just misguided and should not be held responsible for their actions, because they, unlike most in our communities, had reason and evidence shoved down their throats time and again, and they chose, willingly to ignore and ridicule it.
And that will cost all of us, everything.
Take for example even yesterday.
JC mocks those that call Greg Hunt a traitor, so straight away, straight away, he declares Greg Hunt a smarter man nthan a Qld redneck.
Presented with Greg’s own page, where Greg brags about being an award winning graduate of the WEF’s global leaders of tomorrow indoctrination course, he firstly refused to read it, then tried to side line the argument and facts presented straight to him, and personally attack those presenting him with them.
Willfull ignorance.
But hey, stop picking on them…you know it’s all about unity.
This is dishonest language.
It’s all about zero responsibility for those who don’t want their actions and positions held up to scrutiny.

But hey we’re smart now, we’ve got social media and Dr Fauci to tell us we are doing it all wrong. We are in safe hands, what could possibly go wrong?
Great to hear about your family reunion, jupes. We are due to visit Croatia in August next year, on a long put-off and already paid for holiday.
We’ll see.

Make sure you book a wine tour from Dubrovnic calli. I visited a lot of wineries in my brief time as wine importer, and the Croatian wineries are as good as any of them.
I don’t understand something (well a lot of things really). Isn’t the ADF under the Commonwealth and therefore those who are working for the ADF are exempt from the jabs? Yes?

We are at war. This blog’s contributors are not the enemy.
All cause mortality </strong is the path out of medical tyranny.
We need to win this battle.
“ From Dose 1 through the March 13, 2021 data cutoff date, there were a total of 38 deaths, 21 in the COMIRNATY group and 17 in the placebo group. None of the deaths were considered related to vaccination.”
This quote is buried in page 23 of this document from the FDA on the Pfizer Comirnaty approval.
PDF located here.
The link I posted hastily yesterday before work, is a seven minute video from a physician Dr Youngblood that is the best summary of the picture I have seen.
All cause mortality has been a necessary endpoint in all clinical trials since Pfizer’s vioxx debacle around 2006 IIRC.
The Pfizer vaccines did not reduce all cause mortality. It wasn’t significant in the trials, but was all cause mortality was higher in the vaccine group. Small overall numbers. I will leave the fraud part out for now.
There is excess unexplained non covid mortality in Europe now.
But it just couldn’t be the vaccines as everybody knows.
I preferred the accommodation in Yonago but.
