Poll: Majority of Americans Regret Taking Covid Vaccine

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, UCLA Geffen School of Medicine Doctor Joseph Lapado and Yale School of Public Health Doctor Harvey Risch are sounding the alarm that there may be serious underestimated risks involved with the side effects of the Wuhan Coronavirus vaccine.

The top conditions people reported were blood clots, disrupted menstrual cycles, heart attacks, strokes, lung clots and liver damage. 10 percent of these conditions among people who took the vaccine were severe.

A lot off doomsayers as well screaming catastrophe for the environment which I think is overblown.

My objections (such as they are) are purely practical. You don’t know that increased rainfall will be the result.

On the environmental issue, just because you don’t see much as a casual observer doesn’t mean there isn’t anything valuable there. The “just add water” approach is an alluring one – my recent trip through the region was through beautiful green and growing countryside, alive with diversity of flora. It didn’t just appear magically – those seeds and tubers have been lying dormant for years.

Rockdoctor makes the most pertinent observation though – the soils are fragile and infertile. All the flora that I saw is adapted to live on half of bugger all.

Irrigation through rich alluvial plains? You bet! Through scruffy, thin deserts – not so much.

It’s sad about Judith Durham and feels like the end of an era. I used to wear my hair just like her – fringe and two long side pigtails. The above-the-knee shift dresses and the low heeled slingback shoes. I thought she was beautiful. Then the sixties came to an end and hippy-chic took over.

All the film of her singing made me reflect on how music and presentation has degenerated. I could understand every word. And the fans were all so slim!

No bare bottomed twerking for Judith.

Russian Navy’s oldest submarine Alrosa to re-enter service (11 May)

The Alrosa was built by the Krasnoye Sormovo Shipyard in the city of Gorky (currently known as Nizhny Novgorod) shortly before the break-up of the Soviet Union and belonged to experimental Project 877.

It was driven by a waterjet engine instead of propeller propulsion, which ensured its maximum stealth. Owing to this, the submarine with waterjet engines is dubbed as ‘black hole’ abroad. Soon after the break-up of the Soviet Union, the Alrosa remained Russia’s sole combat-capable submarine in the Black Sea.

I hope a Scottish-Lithuanian sub captain does the right thing and steals it.

Suddenly, Public Health Officials Don’t Want to Tell People What to Do?

Joe Biden declared monkeypox a public health emergency on Thursday, sparking fears of a return to COVID-like restrictions on the population.

As PJ Media’s Athena Thorne previously noted, “authoritarian politicians and bureaucrats are having a tough time giving up the dictatorial powers afforded them by the Great COVID Powergrab.” The new declaration is a potential opportunity for Democrats to undermine the integrity of the upcoming 2022 midterms, which are widely expected to see Democrats suffer a shellacking — as we saw happen in 2020.

Except that, at least for the moment, public health officials are taking a different approach. Despite the federal public health emergency declaration, officials have been hesitant to impose restrictions to combat the spread of monkeypox.

Why?

Well, unlike COVID, which is spread through airborne water droplets, monkeypox is mainly spread by men having sex with other men. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 97% of monkeypox patients contracted the disease through homosexual sex.

But, shh! We can’t say that.

Speaking through an interpreter, Ms Shmatko said, “I’m a Ukrainian patriot, but I fell in love with Australia the moment I got here.”

Surprised the ABC carries such a story. Ukrainian babes generally are very unwoke and very undusky. They’d be excellent additions to our population. More please! Russians also, as I’ve previously described re the various Russian interns who were placed in our lab. Not sure that male Australian livers would survive an influx of vodka vixens though.

Lake Eyre, I reckon if we dug a channel around a Km wide and say 50m deep from the ocean it would work, channel big enough to allow for water flow at top and bottom in opposite directions and it would be just normal seawater even with evaporation. The channel could be relatively cheaply dug with nukes. Love to see it done, it couldn’t make things out there any worse.

50 metres is way to deep, Lake Eyre is 15 metres below the sea level so the channel need not be any deeper than that. That’s more than enough depth to take my boat from Port Augusta to the race meeting at Birdsville.

Their first three singles hit number one and they topped Britain’s charts with the highest-selling record of 1965, eclipsing The Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Eventually they scored an Australian first by hitting number one in the US with Georgy Girl, from the film of the same name starring Lynn Redgrave, James Mason, Charlotte Rampling and Alan Bates.

In 1967 The Seekers set another record when they drew more than 200,000 people – almost 10 per cent of Melbourne’s entire population – to a concert at the Myer Music Bowl. They were also named Australians Of The Year.

“UK Environmental Activist Urges ‘Shutting Down Animal Farming Altogether’ Because ‘It’s One of The Greatest Causes of Climate Breakdown’”

On matters agricultural, a while ago I spoke to an executive of one of Australia’s leading producers of seeds for cereal crops and forage grasses.
He told me about an international agricultural conference he attended at which a demographic projection of the population were shown. The projection was an increase to 11 billion during this century, at which level the population would remain stable from then on.
He said that no-one at the conference had any doubt that the agricultural industry could feed 11 billion people.
That suggests that “you will eat bugs and be happy” is pure climate loon totalitarian anti-proles wishful thinking.
Does any agricultural Cat have any comments?

Turkey unveils Russia trade plans

The two countries are set to boost yearly turnover to $100 billion

Turkey and Russia have also agreed to introduce the Russian ruble as a currency for bilateral trade, Erdogan said.

“We agreed on the ruble as a [monetary] unit in trade. Since we will conduct our trade in rubles, this will of course be a serious source of income for both Turkey and Russia. In addition, there is the ‘Mir’ card [Russian analogue of Visa]. Five of our banks currently accept it. There is very serious progress in this issue, which will ultimately improve conditions for tourists coming from Russia. They will be able to do shopping and pay for hotels,” Erdogan said.

It’s amazing how a few looneys like Moonbat, Borenstein, Cook and Nutty (Dana Nuccitelli) can send the entire West down a rabbithole.

“We Regret Any Pain”: CUNY Apologizes and Deletes Article On Depp Lawyer

For many who watched the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial, some of the most outstanding moments involved his defense counsel Yarelyn Mena. It was an extraordinary opportunity for the 29-year old graduated from CUNY (2015) and she was praised for her tough examination of Heard. It was considered the turning point of one of the most famous trials in modern history. It is something that should be a matter of great pride for the CUNY community and, not surprisingly, the website did an article on their graduate. However, it has now been deleted with an apology after people objected that they were upset or traumatized by the recognition due to Heard’s allegations of abuse.

The now deleted article told the intriguing story of how a young associate out of CUNY became a global sensation as a key member of the defense team. Yarelyn explain “I am a third year associate and am fortunate to have worked a trial so early in my career. Most cases don’t go to trial.” It is an extraordinary story for a woman who came with her family from the Dominican Republic. She proceeded to graduate from CUNY and then received her law degree from Fordham University. That is a quintessential American story of achievement that any institution should relish and highlight. She noted in the interview that “(Law) was the first career that I knew of before I even really understood what it was.”

The school acknowledged the objections raised to “our newsletter featuring a recent CUNY graduate who worked on Johnny Depp’s legal team.” It then apologized:

“We understand the strong negative emotions this article elicited and apologize for publishing the item. We have removed it from our CUNYverse blog. The article was not meant to convey support for Mr. Depp, implicitly or otherwise, or to call into question any allegations that were made by Amber Heard. Domestic violence is a serious issue in our society and we regret any pain this article may have caused.”

I mean, you wouldn’t go over to Ukraine and expect to land a cushy, high paying gig with a large gas company if you knew nothing about its business and didn’t speak the language etc.

Dragged what’s apparently an old shell box from my mother’s garage where it was used to store paint brushes.

THE COMING WAR ON AGRICULTURE

You probably know about what has happened in Sri Lanka, where the government’s attempt to impose organic farming led to food shortages, impoverishment, and a revolt that caused that country’s prime minister to flee. Also the Netherlands, where the government’s attempt to drastically reduce fertilizer use has led to massive protests by farmers that continue to this day.

I think many liberals are essentially sadists. They love to boss the rest of us around and make us miserable. If you didn’t know better, you might think they spend their days dreaming up ways to humiliate their fellow citizens. “Here’s an idea–let’s screw up the grid to produce blackouts, so that people turn on the lights and nothing happens!” “They’ll never stand for that.” “We’ll make them stand for that, and like it, too!” “Here’s another idea: let’s tell people they can no longer eat hamburgers and bacon, they have to eat crickets and vegetables!” “What? No one is crazy enough to go along with that.” “Sure they will–all we have to do is tell them it’s necessary to save the planet.”

From Indolent’s paranoid link:

2. Data from multiple countries now shows that all cause mortality (deaths from everything) are higher in the vaccinated.

Qualitatively that is what you would expect if the vaccines did absolutely nothing, because the vast majority of non-vaccinated are kids – who as a group have more robust organs, immune systems, and get taken care of by adults, whereas all adults score less on those dimensions even without vaccines.

Thomas Sowell’s advice for criticising the Left also applies to mRNA vaccine resisters. What’s your evidence, and what’s your alternative? (They are not rhetorical questions, so you may actually have an answer.) For all of the shenanigans during their development and all the ills alleged to be caused by the mRNA jabs, it is amazing they have *so far* been more helpful than harmful, given the hundreds of millions of people who have had them. Where are the 400,000+ people in Australia+USA+UK combined who have gotten autoimmune disorders or had illness worse than the flu as a direct result of taking these jabs? That’s the level at which the line between help and harm is approached.

Not blind to it either. Senator Rennick’s speech the other day was an eye opener, even for people who’ve followed Malone’s texts on the topic. e.g. They stopped the monkey trial of LNP tracing as soon it started to look bad. Straight on to humans. TGA rubber stamped all of it. And here we are. Jay-zuz!

TGA rubber stamped all of it.

TGA definitely need the lamp post treatment. Every single last one of those useless overpaid fucks.

Didn’t Robespierre get a kiss from Madame la Guillotine?

Possibly being misdiagnosed and having their stories ignored by the MSM?

Colonel, I agree that raw datasets are being hopelessly misused by both cheer squads in the covid/vaxx debates. However it’s clear that we aren’t being given comparable stats, so we simply can’t make a real estimate of the comparable risks of the virus and the vaxx.

Everyone is tested for covid when they’re admitted to hospital, and everyone who tests positive goes into the data as a covid hospital admission. Likewise going into ICU while covid positive. Anyone who dies while covid positive is recorded as a covid death.

Given that people stay covid positive for about 14 days, then assuming testing occurs on averages halfway through (a generous assumption since people generally get tested when they experience symptoms), if we were trying to compare vaxx danger and covid danger we’d treat every hospitalisation, ICU admission and death within 7 days of a jab as vaxx-caused, at least for the purpose of creating genuinely comparable datasets which should give us a rough indication of the genuine comparative risks.

[Cue some vaxx-worshipper to say “oh but that’s misleading because the vaxxes don’t cause health problems at anything like the rate of covid, so you’d be overstating vaxx risks.” How do we know this? “Because the statistics prove it.”]

Oldozzie, the reason why I suggested 50m is to get some circulation going from the lake to the sea and back again, otherwise it would end up like the Dead Sea and be of little use except for the possible extra rainfall east.

Colonel Crispin Berkasays:
August 7, 2022 at 3:19 pm

PS Colonel, I’ve posted the link below before, but it’s worth repeating.

Note particularly:
Where the doctor is comfortable the death is from a natural cause unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine, the doctor is encouraged to issue a cause of death certificate. The death does not need to be discussed with or reported to the coroner.
Doctors assessing if the death is from a natural cause unrelated to the COVID-19 vaccine should ask themselves these questions:
• Has the vaccine directly caused the death?
• Has the vaccine caused a side effect or complication that has caused or significantly hastened the person’s death?
• Is there a need to reference the COVID-vaccine and/or a vaccine-related complication on the cause of death certificate?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes/possibly/probably/likely or unclear the doctor should seek advice from
the Coronial Registrar, Coroners Court of Queensland during business hours on (07) 3738 7050 or after hours on (07)
3738 7166.

Not only is there a different instruction for one rather than the other, but there’s no facility at all offered to make a written report of a suspected vaxx-caused death. How many other times do you see any government department requiring people to speak to someone rather than fobbing them off to a website to fill in an online form? It’s almost as though they don’t want a written record.

Also, this document is entitled “Attributing deaths to COVID-19 vaccines”. The converse document is entitled “How to report” a covid virus death. Slight difference in emphasis.

Yes, none of that is conclusive, but if they really wanted to distort the stats in favour of the vaxxes, what would they be doing differently?

Dunno.

But there’s at least 9 dead people who died from AstraZeneca Vaxx documented in the MSM and acknowledged by the TGA who were at negligible risk of COVID. They died needlessly.

The biggest problem with the AZ and mRNA Vaxx is that the risk of vaccination accrues to a vastly different population than the benefits do (young healthy vs old, sick). It’s absolutely unethical to promote such a treatment much less enforce it.

You can’t weigh these populations against each other.

R: Not a shark. Jawsina had identified as a woman for six months.

A: Well she might have identified as a woman, but it looked to me like a big white pointer. With a fin on its back. And teeth. Lots of teeth.

R. All your competitor were able to treat Jawsina as a woman.

A: Yeah, and look where it got them. Jawsina ate every one of them. Well, it bit big chunks out of them. Water was full of blood. And it got one of the judges when he was going to declare Jawsina the winner. That’s why I got first place.

R. Frankly, Amy, I just don’t think you’re being inclusive enough. Nor were the remaining judges. Just because Jawsina was unable to get out of the pool and stand on the podium is no reason to disqualify her. But I’ll leave it to the viewers to make up their own minds on this important diversity and inclusivity issue.

Minister for International Development and the Pacific Pat Conroy commemorates World War II battle in Solomon Islands (7 Aug)

Pacific Minister Pat Conroy has made his first visit to the Solomon Islands to commemorate a critical World War II battle.

Mr Conroy was joined by representatives from Japan, the United States and New Zealand in the Solomon Islands for the 80th anniversary of the key naval Battle of Guadalcanal.

Pat Conroy MP@PatConroy1
Honoured to be in Solomon Islands to pay tribute to those who served in the Battle of Guadalcanal and to commemorate the sinking of HMAS Canberra.
Their loss and sacrifice remind us that our collective security in the Pacific was inextricably linked in 1942, just as it is today.

I happened to read about the Battle of Savo Island in the official history a couple nights ago. Just about everything that could go wrong did. Sometimes no matter what preparations you make you can still be unlucky.

As far as I’m concerned, the matter is over.

I was not casting aspersions on the doxxed, but the doxx-er. I now know better, and shall keep my opinions on the matter to myself.

For those who have enjoyed the “stoush” I bow in your general direction and will now retire to the dressing room to remove the greasepaint. Please leave flowers at the stage door.
