I’m still trying to work out how I could have stopped my family being inoculated. I was the very last one.

– threaten them
– tie them down
– manipulate and guilt trip them

I’m aware of the alluring lipstick palm. I have seen a couple growing at Coffs, but that’s really marginal.
I’m thinking more about some of the smaller, clumping varieties. I have managed to grow foxtails and fishtails at my old Sydney houses, despite frost, and I have a couple of foxtails in my present garden. What the sand lacks in nutrient, it makes up in latent heat.
Also going to look at heliconias.

Russian Navy’s oldest submarine to reenter service after repairs (12 May)
They can’t get ships or subs through the Bosphorus since Turkey has closed it to naval vessels, so you can see why they might be keen to get this one back into service. Not sure the submariners would be so keen though.
America really has a foul collection of geriatric political parasites. Warren yuk. Pelosi puke. Feinstein peww.
Rosie, there are thousands – hundreds of thousands – who refuse the jab for precisely that reason. I and my family and every other anti covid ‘vaxxer’ that I know are all in favour of conventional, tested vaccines such as those for polio, pnuemonia, tetanus, whooping cough etc.
But a) we will not be lab rats for an untested, experimental gene therapy and b) we wont be forced into compliance on this matter.
From “The Age.”
You couldn’t. None of us could.
My despair is that most of my immediate family initially agreed with our decision. Daughter, who rarely agrees with anything I say, nevertheless was initially persuaded by her naturopath who was appalled by the vaccines. But she eventually succumbed in order to enjoy her lifestyle. Grandaughter was afraid she would have been banned from school (she was right), and grandson was absolutely opposed to the jab (he has a great bullshit detector), but then found he would be banned from the pub! Originally, the only really compliant one was son-in-law, who works in a very senior position in a very large corporation which mandated the vaccine from the beginning. But, in any case, being a corporate being, he agreed with their stance.
As a result, all of them are double vaccinated. Fortunately, only daughter and son-in-law consented to boosters. Maybe the grandchildren, with youth further cellular development, can expel the spike from their bodies. You can only hope.

monty facetiously and dishonestly asked about the wage equilibrium.
The equilibrium itself doesn’t matter. It can change. Some markets operate in states of dynamic equilibria or disequilibria. What matters is if the market is never permitted to achieve equilibrium.
The market has not been able to clear for decades. This is evidenced by the unemployment rate(s).
When you add in discouraged workers, non marginal attachments and the participation rate to the unemployment rate – it is significantly above a frictional unemployment rate.
Wage regulation and occupational licensing are the primary root causes of this devestating inequity; welfare traps also incentivise unemployment.
The beneficiaries of such regulations are unions as diverse as the AMA to the PSA and SDA or even the CFMMEU.
“But a) we will not be lab rats for an untested, experimental gene therapy and b) we wont be forced into compliance on this matter.”
Sorry Delta but that was the point I was making, if your objection included ‘experimental gene therapy that might kill me’ then the tyranny argument seems to have played second fiddle ie if you didn’t think it was ‘untested experimental gene therapy’ you might well have been vaccinated.
The younger person I know had no objection on ethical grounds, no objection on claimed health risk grounds but solely on government coercion grounds.

Top Ender, I have done a control F search for your travel insurance query and see that it is for the US. We always take medical insurance for trips to the US, and it is not too expensive, as we self-insure a for always for loss of luggage, delayed and missed flights etc. I have high blood pressure and now since breaking my foot a stupid DVT which should not be recurrent, but they will charge for it. Hairy has numerous serious co-morbidites to do with heart, DVT’s, cancer etc, and his rate is always higher than mine even though I am ten years older.
It is essential to have such insurance for the US, as you know, and fairly important for other places too as airlines may insist on it especially after Covid; some require full Covid insurance and we haven’t tested out the cost of this yet for our US trip in October. However, we have not taken out medical insurance for the UK trip, as we don’t intend flying out of Britain this time, and the NHS will cover emergencies by arrangement with Medicare, and also, we are both British passport holders.
In the past we have also taken a high upfront co-payment for medical insurance, because we are really only worried about the major issues and emergencies – for instance in Alaska we were told it would be $180K to medically fly anyone down to Seattle for major treatment before any other costs were even incurred. Hence good insurance makes sense there. For smaller amounts, for example, doctor’s surgery visits that come under the co-payment amount we just pay up. Like car insurance.
I can’t recall the name of the company we use – it is one of the cheap ones that advertise and if the small print suits us then we use them. We have platinum credit cards and Amex, but haven’t even investigated the ‘travel insurance’ on these, as we have been told it is layered with many conditions. Too much bother and leaves you open to various failures in cover.

Apparently he was in Higgins today campaigning for the Labor candidate.

The sneering and the hate that emanated from him was palpable. And yes, Kenny said that there’s little doubt that this horrendous failure is angling for a plum role, probably Washington.

If you Amex the flight, Amex absorbs 50% and if (travel) insured some of the co-payment. How much is travel insurance these days as I’m meeting wifey in the US and didn’t insure as we’re now both covered my US Medicare? Hospital is certainly covered, but not sure about doc visits and Amex would take half anyway so no big deal.. I didn’t insure.

Rennick doing the hard yards to tell us what we were injected with.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANzK3HTQvvs
The mRNA integrity of the Pfizer jab varied between 55% and 81%, and the efficacy tends to vary in line with that.
TGA honcho reckons no evidence of long-lasting spike, while studies from overseas (via McCullough) are finding it a year after vaccination (but doesn’t say if that is in people who never had covid).
You know the leading theory on how Omicron mutated is that an alpha strain crossed the species barrier (more like a species speedbump, LOL) into *mice* and then many months later crossed back, and the time it spent in mice mellowed it. So we could have had an initial quarantine and research period, deployed the Ivermectin for treatment, told Gates to sod off and not funded a single vaccine, waited for 18months, and the mice would have saved us anyway.
Instead we’ve had vaccines which cause a year-long hazard of clotting when the batch *is* efficacious, and causes a false sense of security when the mRNA is degraded to low integrity in the other batches.

Way back when, I had a manager, who had been an officer in the British Army. I learned a lot from him, but the chief skill was to cultivate an atmosphere of icy politeness, when dealing with fools.
The Memsahib and I are at a certain Perth hospital, She has an appointment, and wants to know where I can wait for her. The clerk at the reception desk was less then helpful.
“And you are?”
“Defacto husband of thirty five years.”

“Allow me to point out, that there is a sign on the wall, designating a waiting room. I do presume that that is where people can wait for those having a consultation?’
“Hospital regulations state that you’ll have to wait on the ground floor. The lift is over there.”

54.20 – 35 = 19.20

9.20/ 19.20 = 48% it doesn’t go through. I think my odds math is correct.

The Hun editorial yesterday is quite a piece of logic wizardry.
Starting with a story of a new beaut vaccine from the Doherty institute that’s a catch all for covid, heading on to the record breaking covid infections and deaths currently, praising our worlds best vaccination rate and finally telling the reader that vaccines have allowed us to return to near normal life.
An editor with long covid brain fog.
From what I have read, it sounds like a variation of our own Slug-gate. Maybe a competitor, or someone in the swamp who had it in for them. Anyway, it has become so serious that Biden is meeting with manufacturers about it on Thursday (US time).
In a country as large and diverse – in a good way – as the US, significant shortages of baby formula takes some doing.

Illegal migrants first to get ‘pallets’ of hard-to-find baby formula
The nationwide shortage of baby formula that has sent mothers desperately rushing from store to store has evaded one lucky group: illegal immigrants detained by Border Patrol.
According to videos posted by a Florida lawmaker, the Biden administration has been shipping “pallets” of baby formula to migrant holding facilities.
“They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border,” said Republican Rep. Kat Cammack in one of two online postings yesterday. “Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula,” she added, holding a photo of empty shelves where the formula would be.
Cammack said that a border agent sent her photographs of the deliveries, and she posted one online.
“They’re receiving pallets and more pallets of baby formula at the border,” she said holding one of the photos showing both Advantage brand formula and Gogo Squeez applesauce. “This was taken at Ursula processing facility [in McAllen, Texas] where thousands are being housed and processed and then released,” said Cammack.
She said the agent told her: “‘Kat, you would not believe the shipment I just brought in.’ He has been a border patrol agent for 30 years and he has never seen anything quite like this. He is a grandfather and he is saying that his own children can’t get baby formula.”
Kat Cammack
@Kat_Cammack
The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula.
The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce.
This is what America last looks like.
I’ve never seen anyone say this but it fits the philosophy of the green progressives. They’ve been making abortion a religious sacrament, spewing propaganda that having babies destroys the planet and pushing puberty blockers onto young girls and boys. So why not make it hard for mothers by artificially restricting baby formula?
You crock stoker!
The American DemoCrap Left Today – Thick as Bricks
Protester says US Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who gave birth five times, doesn’t understand pregnancy
The baby formula crisis in the US is a perfect example of the left green precautionary principle coupled to social media mummy scares and public agencies (FDA) reacting to reputation risk rather than science.
Companies have no choice but to recall product under this pressure. Tests for bacteria in factories should go hand in hand with tests for the same in the households that the unfortunate infants lived.
Many deadly strains of bacteria are common in the general community but only become a problem when a vector for infection is open.
Chooks and ducks commonly carry salmonella but not after proper storage and cooking.
The Democrats are trying to pass a law that allows women to abort their foetuses up to two years after they are born. They want to call it the Rovey Wade Act.

What a guy.
It’s a really interesting phenomenon, joh.
What is causing the shortage? Is it a flow-on from covid lockdowns (though I’m not sure the US stopped everything like we did) or have the Daigu moved in on the US because our borders remained closed?
Musk could buy a lot of Teal with that kind of money.
A joke for duck lovers.
Oh, reading up thread – contrived shortages.
It brings something else to mind – bricks. Remember when the brilliant experts decided to lockdown brickworks as well as the rest of manufacturing during the Delta b/s? (Not aluminium, thank goodness – that would have wrecked the works). There is now a huge delay in brick manufacture which is affecting the building industry. Closing down a brickworks isn’t as simple as the Mongs (tee hee) think, the start up is the killer.
On socks – anyone who has time to run sock puppets has way too much time on their hands.

Utterly useless in any medical sense, but a differentiation from the rest of her party who wore the conventional sort.
And the Beloved actually made someone cry the other day. He said to another mask wearer that all the masking precautions were bullshit. When challenged by “but think of the dead”, he replied “but think of the ruined”. Boo hoo.
Comment on Michael Smith News – Tony Abbott’s video message on Katherine Deves
seeker of truth said…
Further info on Trevor Sofield, the man who tried to speak to ScoMo He also advised Fiji as to how better to attract Chinese tourists –
“…On the flipside, things that received the biggest amount of negative feedbacks and were deemed to be the greatest barriers in Fiji for Chinese tourists were food and the language barrier.
After making his recommendations and analyses on the Chinese visitor market, Australian tourism professor Trevor Sofield on Thursday revealed the results of his snapshot exit survey which he conducted on a total of 115 mainland tourists.
Seventy-six per cent of those surveyed said the lack of Chinese language was the worst part of their trip to Fiji, followed closely by no Chinese food (72 per cent).
Other complaints around the 50 per cent mark were no or expensive internet/wifi access, lack of items in room and hotel/resort/restaurant service too slow.
Other negativities included not enough activities at night, airport procedures too slow, shopping not good, having the same food at the hotel everyday, inadequate car hire and local transport.
Un-metered taxis, too many mosquitoes and too soft beds also made the list.
According to Dr Sofield, Chinese sensitivities have to be paid attention to and understood to begin with, to be able to have a better hold of such situations and avoid disappointments.
He said the language barrier was an obvious hiccup in the plan and if not addressed, could potentially lead to disappointing outcomes.
“The lack of signage, instructions and mandarin-speaking personnel, while inconvenient for the traveller, could also be seen in a more insulting light, to the individual and even more grave, to China,” he said.
Dr Sofield gave the example of Maldives, which began targeting the Chinese traveller after their tourism industry began feeling the effects of the global financial crisis.
From less than 2000 visitors from China in 2008 to 64,000 the following year, and in September this year, had passed the 130,000 mark, expecting to cross 180,000 visitors by the year’s end….”

I’d say Mr Sofield is a bit of a suck up to China.

No doubt the daigu have been at work all the time, calli, including before the shortages. But, this seems to be about a confluence of supply chain and labour issues due to COVID policies, with a bit of panic buying thrown in.
Coming up to the mid-terms, explaining why the shortage of baby food is due to Vladimir Putin doesn’t look like a winning strategy.

Brilliant Satire Contrasts National Priorities of Joe Biden

Starving American Babies Disguise Selves As Ukrainian Soldiers In Hopes Of Getting $40 Billion In Federal Aid
KYIV—This Wednesday, reports poured in that thousands of babies have been smuggling themselves into Ukraine dressed as Ukrainian soldiers. The refugee infants say they are seeking leftovers from the federal aid Biden has sent to the war-torn country.
“Waah waah waaaaah!” Baby translators at the border were able to render one newborn’s helpless wails into English for reporters. “This baby says he’s a battle-hardened Ukrainian commando and he wants some formula.”
Other babies at the border concurred, with the oldest baby speaking for the group through a baby translator. “We trust our leaders to prioritize aid distribution well, as they did with billions to promote worldwide gender equity, billions in weapons as a going-away present for the Taliban in Afghanistan, or this breathtaking act of generosity amid America’s most severe recession in years.”
The baby spokesperson admitted that the choice to leave America was difficult, but that they knew it was the right choice. “It was hard to leave our families, but when Biden made it clear that Ukraine was the place to go for help, we didn’t ask questions!”
At publishing time, Biden celebrated that U.S. families now rid of burdensome babies could afford to contribute more in taxes to repay trillions for “Build Back Better” infrastructure spending. When asked about helping babies directly, he said “Best I can do is federal funding for abortion.”

Meanwhile – Senator Rand Paul Blocks Fast-Track Senate Vote for $40 Billion Additional Ukraine Funding
Senator Rand Paul has blocked a fast-track senate vote on the additional $40 billion funding package created by Joe Biden and House Democrats. Both Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell approved a fast-track vote; however, senator Rand Paul (KY) stood defiant against their effort.
Despite the high-profile pressure from the two Senate leaders, Rand Paul refused to move and that means the Senate will have to take procedural steps to overcome his objection, which could take several days. “My oath of office is the US constitution not to any foreign nation and no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the United States of America,” Paul said in his remarks before objecting to moving to swift passage of the bill. “We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy.” WATCH:
The $40 billion supplemental spending bill for Ukraine is more than the total military budget of Russia. The combined Ukraine aid packages now exceed $60 billion, more than the entire budget for the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security including border protection.
Rand Paul is on the right side of history with his position, and the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with him. However, the opinion of the people is irrelevant to the Senate. Even democrat Senator Chuck Schumer seemed to admit this point when he said Rand Paul’s position “was not the opinion of the overwhelming majority here,” meaning in the senate. Schumer would have used other terms if he thought the American people agreed with him. They don’t, and he knows it.
Yikes!

The yappy little turd was on the news last night, complaining about being “manhandled” by ScoMo’s security (they stood in his way).
He the jumped up and down about not being allowed to put his “question” (prepared media statement) to ScoMo.
At the end he declared that this had tipped him over the edge … he declared he wasn’t voting Liberal. You just got the feeling this was something of an empty threat.
All in all, he reminded me a bit of a pro-Chinese version of St Ruth.
Pretty clear that baby formula shortage was triggered by FDA closure of one major plant in February and that the government should have commenced amelioration back then.
interesting that US commentors think Ukrainian government is corrupt
