    Your trolling is mediocre. Ed Case is a much better troll, he’s sometimes entertaining, he’s frequently amusing, he’s barking mad and he’s almost always wrong.

    Whoever has control for landing, if he/she shows signs of incapacity, the non-flying pilot calls “taking over” or “my aircraft”, shoves the balls to the wall and goes around.
    Even on short final.

    Too bad if the bloke flying has seizure and rigidly extends his arms while dying at say 100 feet.
    In Airbus aircraft he’s also got to let go of the little button on the sidestick that gives priority to let the other bloke take over.

    The fascist left don’t want perfection. That is just the excuse they use to attempt to justify controlling every minute aspect of people’s lives.

    Put it this way, BJ, the idealists naively seek perfection, the hard core exploit that to control.

    This is why the KGB drew up hit lists of leading idealistic fellow travellers in third world countries in the ’50s & ’60s. When the Marxist revolution came, they’d have to be among the first eliminated because they’d easily become dissatisfied with the true nature of Communism became apparent.

    Table 52. Use in Pregnancy and while Breast Feeding
    Evidence source:
    The safety profile of the vaccine is not known in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to their initial
    exclusion from the pivotal clinical study. There may be pregnant women who choose to be vaccinated
    despite the lack of safety data. It will be important to follow these women for pregnancy and birth outcomes.
    The timing of vaccination in a pregnant woman and the subsequent immune response may have varying
    favourable or unfavourable impacts on the embryo/foetus. The clinical consequences of SARS-CoV-2
    infection to the woman and foetus during pregnancy is not yet fully understood and the pregnant woman’s baseline health status may affect both the clinical course of her pregnancy and the severity of COVID-19.
    These factors and the extent to which the pregnant woman may be at risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 will
    influence the benefit risk considerations for use of the vaccine.
    Population in need of further characterization:
    The lack of data is communicated in product labelling; for clinical study of the safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in pregnant women and while breast feeding, see PART III.2 and PART III.3.
    Table 53. Use in Immunocompromised Patients
    Evidence source:
    The vaccine has not been studied in individuals with overt immunocompromised conditions. Therefore,
    further safety data will be sought in this population.
    Population in need of further characterisation:
    Safety data will be collected in individuals with compromised immune function due to acquired or genetic conditions or conditions requiring the use of immunosuppressants as this population of individuals in the active surveillance studies and the clinical studies proposed by the MAH (see PART III.2 and PART III.3).
    Table 54. Use in Frail Patients with Co-morbidities (e.g., chronic obstructive
    pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, chronic neurological disease,
    cardiovascular disorders)
    Evidence source:
    The vaccine has been studied in individuals with stable chronic diseases (e.g., hypertension, obesity),
    however it has not been studied in frail individuals with severe co-morbidities that may compromise immune function due to the condition or treatment of the condition. Therefore, further safety data will be sought in this population.
    Population in need of further characterisation:
    Safety data will be collected in individuals who are frail due to age or debilitating disease in the active
    surveillance studies and through routine pharmacovigilance (see PART III.2 and PART III.3).

    Table 55. Use in Patients with Autoimmune or Inflammatory Disorders
    Evidence source:
    There is limited information on the safety of the vaccine in patients with autoimmune or inflammatory
    disorders.
    Population in need of further characterisation:
    Safety data will be collected in individuals with autoimmune or chronic inflammatory diseases, including
    those who may be on immunosuppressants in the active surveillance studies (see PART III.2 and
    PART III.3).
    Table 56. Interaction with other Vaccines
    Evidence source:
    There are no data on interaction of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine with other vaccines at this time.
    Population in need of further characterisation:
    All reports describing interactions of COVID-19 vaccine with other vaccines per national recommendations in individuals will be collected and analysed as per routine PV activities. Interactions with commonly used non-COVID-19 vaccines, such as influenza vaccine, are proposed to be studied in a future clinical study (see
    PART III.2 and PART III.3).
    Table 57. Long Term Safety Data
    Evidence source:
    At this time, 2-month post dose 2 safety data are available for approximately half of the patients who have received COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in Study C4591001. The study is ongoing.
    Anticipated risk/consequence of missing information:
    At the time of vaccine availability, the long-term safety of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is not fully known,
    however there are no known risks with a potentially late onset. Data will continue to be collected from
    participants in ongoing study C4591001 for up to 2 years following the 2nd dose of vaccine. Additionally,
    active surveillance studies are planned to follow long-term safety in vaccine recipients for 2 years following
    Dose 2.

Does you link allow for or explain that more people are vaxxed than those that aren’t ? Also, is the chart capturing data for the Omni variant?

    OK.
    So the key ingredients are:-
    – short final;
    – Airbus (which models BTW?);
    – a seizure which results in some sort of rigidity in the limbs and fingers.
    Would choosing a B-777 alleviate your fears?
    Shit, what about the Uber driver deflating on the Tulla freeway on the way to the airport?
    Or even a passing truck driver seizing up and ploughing into you whilst you are waiting on the kerb for the Uber?
    So many ways to die.
    Seriously.
    Please don’t call people worried about Covid “namby pamby bed-wetters” if you want to advance that 1-in-a-million fear of a plane crash as an excuse for the steely-eyed hairy-chested freedom fighters to wimp out of their flight to liberation.

    Funny as. Faulty is an unheralded mufti. Possibly one of the greatest muftis in Australian history.

    Faulty over at the Furniture Store reckons The Powers That Be are going to crash the banking system for a day, during which time Parliament will pass the We Want Your Cash Bill.
    Next day, your deposits will be used to pay down bank debt, government deficits and top up the WEF Christmas Club.

    I don’t quite get it though. The RBA can literally print more money, so why the need to crash the banking system? Also, banks borrow money primarily through deposits , so why would the government want to pay down bank debt? For what purpose? These are the sorts of things the mufti doesn’t answer.

    Hawke’s (read the Morrison Government’s) express reason for revoking the visa substantially boils down to ‘we’ve lost control of part of the flock and can’t trust the buggers to behave themselves’.

    How the hell have you come to that conclusion?
    The Morrison Government was blindsided by someone in Border Force on a Friday evening, it regrouped, isolated the problem, got the Politics exactly right, and struck on a Friday evening a week later.

    Whether Reagan would have glassed Tehran and Qom is obviously unknowable (and I doubt he would have) but even so, conventional weapons would have caused a hell of a mess.

    The Iranian Navy might have had a rowboat left, for starters, if they could find a place to hide it well.

    Operation Praying Mantis

    That was in Reagan’s last year. He sank half the Iranian Navy in an afternoon, and only didn’t sink the rest of it to give the ayatollahs a chance to back down. Which they did…

    To think what tech must be like now! Those IRGC kiddies in their speedboats will be meeting their virgins quite rapidly.

    On US tech this today:

    Why would you prove anything? You don’t have to, but it means you can’t and therefore invalidating your own assertion.

    It would be the same as me accusing you of being an evil intentioned cunt with zero attributes and when I was asked to offer evidence I didn’t. It’s same thing

    Do your own research.

    Really? That’s how it works does it? You make a claim and asked to provide evidence for your claim and the person who questions your claim is expected to prove it. You’re a fucking idiot, Hallward.

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/jan/15/novak-djokovic-visa-australian-minister-alex-hawke-says-risk-of-civil-unrest-behind-cancellation

    Tennis champion Novak Djokovic, who has been described as a risk to “civil unrest”* and a “talisman of anti-vaccination sentiment”, may never get the chance to defend his Australian Open title, facing a three-year ban from the country ahead of a last-ditch court challenge to stay.

    Australia’s immigration minister, Alex Hawke, personally cancelled the unvaccinated world No 1’s visa, arguing his presence in Australia could incite “civil unrest” and encourage others to eschew vaccination against Covid-19.

    8 Can a major newspaper write a piece which fouls up the language to make it mean exactly the opposite of what was said.
    Why yes, yes they can.

    So Joker will prevent an outbreak of civil unrest??

    There is no point in becoming a republic.

    The Mongdom of Austfailure is much more appropriate.

    In effect the minister in charge is banning him for 3 years based on “Muh feels”…

    Hawke said he accepted Djokovic’s recent Covid-19 infection meant he was a “negligible risk to those around him”, but that he was “perceived by some as a talisman of a community of anti-vaccine sentiment”.

    “I consider that Mr Djokovic’s ongoing presence in Australia may lead to an increase in anti-vaccination sentiment generated in the Australian community, potentially leading to an increase in civil unrest of the kind previously experienced in Australia with rallies and protests which may themselves be a source of community transmission.

    “Mr Djokovic is … a person of influence and status.

    “Having regard to … Mr Djokovic’s conduct after receiving a positive Covid-19 result, his publicly stated views, as well as his unvaccinated status, I consider that his ongoing presence in Australia may encourage other people to disregard or act inconsistently with public health advice and policies in Australia.”

    Fun statistic I just calculated:

    1) The ACT boasts that 98.6% of its population aged 12+ are ‘double vaxxed’.
    2) ~80% of the ACTs 420,000 residents are aged 15+, ie 336,000 (closest age breakdown I could find)
    3) 1.4% of 336,000 = 4700 unvaccinated people
    4) The current ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’ has seen nearly 15,000 COVID ‘cases’ in the ACT since the start of the year….thats >3 per dirty unvaxxer!.

    Some people say Ming’s biggest mistake was to expand tertiary ejucashun as recommended by the Murray Report (1957?). When you looks at the likes of Hawke (actually both of them), it was a terrible mistake.

    What do Sancho and I have to do with an Emirati airline crew flubbing their math?

    Is this just another act of nuffiness to try and cover for your previous outbreaks?

    Why would it need to? You just need to show worse immunity (of any kind) compared to purebloods, for any variant, correct?

    Dot,

    The fashionable opinion here for the past few weeks is that the vax ruins immunity and some here have suggested it goes to zero, which is laughable. If you suffer negative efficacy the best way to demonstrate this is people contracting the same variant twice – particularly the alpha version. Did that occur?

    They ignored dozens of other celebrities who they let wander in and out of the country over the last two years.

    I really hope Djovich and his lawyers demand the list of Brahmin Caste let in the country.
    I’d imagine it would be relevant to his defence.

    Ha ha Turdball/Morrison – this is blowing up in your face and I hope Morrison tells all about who was influencing him with these decisions.
    Passing bullets around for someone else to fire is too damn common in Australia.

    Bob Hawke graduated well before ’57, milton. Pretty sure he’d completed his Oxford degree by then too.

    Whatever you make of the man or his politics, as a son of the manse he was no sluggard when it came to education.

    Special Ed quoting a pedo approvingly…

    Gore Vidal
    Boorish, thick-skinned, arrogant and a lifelong sexual boaster, Vidal explained his world-view to an interviewer, “The difference between Italian boys and American boys, is the Italian boys have dirty feet and clean a**holes, while American boys have clean feet and dirty a**holes.” Vidal was a founder and financial donor to the Boston/Boise group that later became NAMBLA. He appeared at NAMBLA fundraising events and he appeared as a defence witness for various NAMBLA members who were prosecuted for pederasty in the 1970s.

    In later life, Vidal moved to a villa in Ravello in Italy, where the ages of consent for homosexuality and prostitution are among the lowest in Europe, and took annual holidays in Thailand, a notorious pederasts’ haven. His half-sister Nina Straight, told his biographer Tim Teeman that Vidal was a pedophile who preyed on underage boys and that this was the reason he took holidays in Bangkok. This is confirmed by his nephew, the actor and director Burr Steers, who was very close to Vidal and says the writer was afraid that secrets about his pedophile activities would come out. Steers said Vidal was “terrified that conservative columnist William F. Buckley had evidence that Mr. Vidal had sex with underage boys” — or as Nina Straight put it, “Jerry Sandusky acts.” Vidal spent a lot of time and money on litigation against Buckley for libel and this was a long-running feud. Buckley’s son confirmed that Buckley had kept a filing cabinet full of evidence about Vidal’s illegal activities, but he had destroyed it after Buckley’s death.

    We know the current vaxes don’t show great hope against the last variant. Unfortunately harry hindsight wasn’t around to warn us in 2020 when biotech was developing the vaxxes.

    But here’s what you can do
    1. Show us where you predicted there would be new variants.
    2. Show us by way of evidence that you predicted the new variants would escape the vaccines.
    3. Is it true that unvaxxed are suffering worse outcomes?

    I bet Sancho will be in Japan before Glazey.
    I know it’s Corsica not mainland France but while off season quiet life seems pretty normal here.
    Sure people wear masks, not so much outside, but there are no testing centres, no vaccination hubs.
    And as I mentioned earlier zero interest in vaccination status or even an identification check when I entered France from Italy. Very unlike when I have crossed the border at Ventimiglia and via the train from Turin pre covid, when very stern French police boarded the train. Perhaps they might have been more enthusiastic if anyone looked like a possible illegal immigrant.
    I got asked for my green pass when I had lunch yesterday but unlike Italy no interest in scanning a qr code.
    Of course neither country has qr codes anywhere.
    If people want they can download the app.
    France has 8 million cases and 4000 in serious condition.
    Seems Macron’s big issue still is (unvaxxed) covid patients hogging hospital beds.

    Be interesting to see his legal teams counter to Hawke which should be up later.

    His legal team should just point out that the Prime Minister said that vaxxination in Australia isn’t mandatory, and it’s a personal choice whether someone takes the vaxx or declines.

    Yeah, because William F Buckley Jr was a heavily closeted Homosexual and a known Pederast as well.

    Struth did.

    Struth got lucky.

    Wrong.
    Even though a few of his calls have not been a “bullseye” the range has been met.
    WRT the first lockdown and his predictions then -v- where we find ourselves as a country now, he was uncomfortably accurate.
    I cannot believe what has happened and what a lot of my fellow countrymen have become.

    Concerning the much ridiculed “supply chain disruption” prediction:
    He said it would be due to something stupid throwing a spanner in the works. Well, it’s happening.
    The “stupid thing” is the mania (driven on by the FMIC and governments) over Omicron. They are essentially trying to track the common cold and make anyone who they find with it stop work.
    This IS starting to screw things up big time in the background (spare parts, fuel, food harvesting and distribution, consumables distribution).

    Unfortunately it’s a background many don’t see or prefer not to.
    This country needs to get it’s shit together.

    Well, there is a lesson here.
    Don’t worry about pilots generally.
    Just don’t fly with this one.
    He has just admitted his own incompetence. Whoever has control for landing, if he/she shows signs of incapacity, the non-flying pilot calls “taking over” or “my aircraft”, shoves the balls to the wall and goes around.
    Even on short final.
    Sort it out in the circuit.

    No one will fly with that one, he’s had the jab, now he’s got heart problems and won’t fly again.

    Is it an issue when the plane is on its final approach to land, should I listen to a former experienced commercial pilot or a Mexican bloke on an anonymous blog. Decisions, decisions.
