dont chuck a spaz at me
it was your thought experiment
Rates of paralysis, mobility aids and (modern day) iron lungs are vastly vastly higher today than before the polio vax.
At least, that’s what the government says.
Here’s a question for you Lizzie. How many iron lungs were there in the US at the supposed height of the polio epidemic?
Be honest here.
Write the answer you think before you google it.
In fact, if you wanted one solitary piece of data that pretty much demolished every piece of propaganda about vaccines, I reckon this would be it. But I want to hear your delusion first.
well, there’s also this … The Cutter Incident

Election coming up?
The Palaszczuk government has announced a suite of new measures involving youth justice legislation after Lee Lovell – the husband of Brisbane woman Emma Lovell, who died following a violent home invasion involving four minors – called for youth justice laws to be changed.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced 10 new measures with the goal of enhancing community safety.
“Today we are announcing a range of tougher penalties to address these issues involving youth crime in Queensland,” she said.
“And the time for action is now and today we are announcing our most comprehensive response to youth crime in this state.”
These measures include increasing the maximum penalty for stealing a car from 7 years to 10 years’ imprisonment, an amendment to the youth justice act requiring courts to take into account previous bail history and criminal activity when sentencing, and increased penalties for criminals who have boasted about these crimes on social media.

I tied of it long ago, calli.
Brilliant!
Nobody’s ever told me to do that before.
But why don’t you help out?
What book and what page explains how natural asymptomatic infection (eg chronic hep b infection) and immunity can co-exist?
The first means harbouring a virus *increases* your future risk of disease. The second means harbouring a virus *reduces* said risk.
Logically impossible.
This blog has a reputation to sustain, and your sort of unpleasant hatreds of me for speaking my mind, similar to what Rosie has copped on the vaxx issues, belong to people of little brain, o Bespoken one.
What was the standard of evidence you demanded before you accepted that all of the deaths *were* caused by the flu virus?
I suspect it was “the government said so”. So sorry. I don’t have that kind of evidence for my theory and I wouldn’t use it even if I had.
Make sure you get your boosters. And you should up your own tax rate. Don’t be selfish.

Head Case is a definite low calibre troll. Screetch on.
As noted already, the WW1 (Great War) vaccination program was less than widespread, and when effective in composition targeted a bacillus not the object pathogen. It had some verifiable effect in improving death rates for those vaxxed due to relieving the bacterial pneumonias. Home made remedies and snake-oil ‘vaccines’ did nothing helpful but weren’t responsible for the huge death rates. This influenza variant killed millions in all of its appearances, whether treated in any way or not, with deaths often uncounted in remote places and in countries such as China and India. Good nursing in Westernised nations did help to lower the death rate somewhat. But a drop in the bucket of all deaths. Blaming ‘vaccines’ for this epidemic is more than ridiculous; it is criminal.

Rejoice as it means that all those biological weapons labs, from unit 731 through to the present day have all been run as a massive fraud by the military industrial complex.
So cunning that every government worth the name has run some sort of biological protection/warfare program at one stage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_biological_weapons_program
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_biological_weapons_program
When the U.S. biological warfare program ended in 1969 it had developed six mass-produced, battle-ready biological weapons in the form of agents that cause anthrax, tularemia, brucellosis, Q-fever, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, and botulism.[12] In addition staphylococcal enterotoxin B was produced as an incapacitating agent.[12] In addition to the agents that were ready to be used, the U.S. program conducted research into the weaponization of more than 20 other agents. They included: smallpox, EEE and WEE, AHF, Hantavirus, BHF, Lassa fever, Coronavirus,[36][failed verification] melioidosis,[36] plague, yellow fever, psittacosis, typhus, dengue fever, Rift Valley fever (RVF), CHIKV, late blight of potato, rinderpest, Newcastle disease, bird flu, and the toxin ricin.[37]
Silly military industrial complex, why didnt they listen to an internet rando!

Well, plenty of stupid opinions have created this vale of tears so far.
Using Figures’ nonsense science to diss established childhood vaxxes sounds like another one to me.
Criminal influencing. That’s my opinon. There may be a better and more acceptable science against some childhood vaxxes than Figures manages to produce. If there is, I haven’t seen it.

1. There’s zero evidence that measles virus has ever killed anybody – at least, if one demands the same standard of evidence that Monty demands as evidence of vaccine deaths.
2. There’s zero non-circular evidence that the measles vaccine prevents measles.

Chickenpox and shingles virus lying dormant in your neurons can reactivate and increase your risk of stroke – new research identified a potential culprit
There have been a lot of these articles popping up recently. Another one I saw was about the hidden risk of heart attacks/disease in middle aged people. It looks to be a Hi Alan effort from Big Media and Big Science to attempt to explain away the unusual number of people popping their clogs in weird ways.
Police truncheons in the Victorian era were usually about 400mm in length and made of a dense hardwood .
The length of the truncheon was such that it could be swung effectively in an enclosed space/ close quarters.
A baseball bat and the like are too long and not easily concealed.
The police attached their truncheons to their wrist in such a way that if grabbed the truncheon could be pulled away from policeman instead of the policeman being pulled into the villain.
No Lizzie. I didn’t ask you to google “immunology chronic disease”. I asked a specific question.
How can we acquire immunity to a virus if that virus infects us on a chronic basis?
The two concepts are mutually exclusive. It’s not just wrong but a category error.
Your paper never asks this question.
As far as I know I’m the only person on the planet who has.
Does harbouring a virus make us more or less susceptible to the disease supposedly caused by that virus in the future?
That’s the trillion dollar question.
If “more” then immunity is non-existent.
If “less” then chronic infection is non-existent.
So just tell me Lizzie or Dot or Monty.
Less? More?

Um no. The splinter has caused an injury and removing it allows the skin to heal. A better test would be to injure yourself with both clean and dirty splinters and monitor the rate of infection.
I’m not entirely on board with germ theory – at rhe very least, the terrain theorists seem to be right about some things and they shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. As is so often the case, the truth is probably somewhere between the two poles.
What shocking brutality you delicate females exhibit!

Also, it is illegal to carry a knife for the purpose of self-defence in Australia.
you’ve met her and maybe that changes things
anyway, it isn’t that the comment comes from Lizzie, it isn’t even personal.
it’s that in a way, Lizzie’s voice represents a sort of every-nanna
and I tire of hearing the fallacious argument that anybody who disagrees with the efficacy of “past vax” must, by python-esque reasoning, be a complete loon.
and another thing, carrying about evidence and science, while while not producing any of it herself amounts to little but another fallacious appeal, this time to authority
and even it isn’t specifically spoken, the tacit reference to “future vax” remains.
so essentially her argument looks to me like “shut up you idiot, you’ll do as yr told”

A rapidly growing measles outbreak in Columbus, Ohio — largely involving unvaccinated children — is fueling concerns among health officials that more parent resistance to routine childhood immunizations will intensify aresurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Most of the 81 children infected so far are old enough to get the shots, but their parents chose not to do so, officials said, resulting in the country’s largest outbreak of the highly infectious pathogen this year.
Dead children will be the legacy of Figures and other such loons. What he is saying may not be illegal, but it is immoral.
No, m0nty=fa, dead children will be the legacy of Fauci, the CDC, NIH, TGA, and the various other health “authorities” who unleashed an experimental, partially (and inadequately) tested (being generous) so-called vaccine on the world, and kept pushing it in the face of increasing evidence of its inadequacy and level of risk compared to the illness it is supposed to defeat.

Louis, divorce at the very least contradicts and compromises the aspect of indissolubility/ permanence. At least, with fault divorce, you are required to demonstrate that one of the spouses is abusive, engaged in adultery, or has abandoned their responsibilities as a spouse in order to get a divorce; in other words that they have failed to deliver what the other spouse has an ordinary expectation of within marriage. No fault divorce radically diminishes marriage because these justifications are set aside and any or no reason/ fault is sufficient for a divorce. People in turn begin to take the vows less seriously, no merely the spouses, but also the community in which they live. There is also the aspect that it inverts the order of goods that flow from marriage, where the good of the spouses is placed ahead of the good of the children. Of course, there is much more to be said but that gives you an idea.

WaPo Uses Picture of NYC Orthodox Jews for Story About Ohio Measles Outbreak (26 Dec)
“The Washington Post has an article about a measles outbreak in Ohio. Of course, the publication tried to tie it to people hesitant about the COVID vaccine. … But the featured image. Wait wait wait! One of the photos in the article is also of a Jew in NYC in 2019. WHY.
The story is about a measles outbreak in Columbus, OH, while also mentioning an outbreak in Minnesota in a similar community. Hint: Not the Jewish community:
Some of the cases occurred in Columbus’s large Somali community, the second-largest Somali population in the United States after the Minneapolis area, Roberts said. Parents have said they “intentionally delayed” giving their children the measles vaccine because of their fear of autism, she said, despite considerable research disproving any relationship between vaccines and autism. Those fears echoed similar concerns of parents in Minnesota’s Somali community during a 2017 measles outbreak that infected 75 children, mostly unvaccinated preschool kids.”
Yep, they were muslims. I suspect they might be more concerned with vaccination turning their men infertile than the autism thing, since that is a widespread conspiracy theory in the Islamic world. On the other hand with the covid vax fertility stuff maybe our muslim friends have a point.
Monty though is looking like a shag of a rock in a lightning storm. Maybe some kind Cat will give him a paper bag to hide in.
Behold the Nikola Tesla-level specialness on display, right here at FlashCat.
I am seriously impressed that Monty has managed to invoke an actual antisemitic WaPo article to smear Cats for being leary of the Covid vax. Well done son!

it’s much worst than that, no fault easy peasy divorce gives women a strong financial incentive for dissolving a relationship while financially enslaving her poor husband. most women can earn far more in divorce than they could ever dream of by any other means. I have an ex to prove it, and I am sure many others can attest to the same. look at bezo’s ex the worlds only multi billionaire book-keeper.
no fault divorce drove a stake through the heart of marriage.
What Dover said. To expand on one of his points – no fault divorce has fundamentally changed the perspective of the married individual. Prior to, you’d made a lifetime commitment. Barring extreme or prescribed circumstances, you didn’t get to leave, so you had every incentive to make the relationship work. Now, people enter into marriages with the tacit knowledge that if the relationship doesn’t work, they can just quit it. No fault divorce has created a culture of atomised, brittle marriages that are prone to fracturing over the most trivial of matters.

The city Department of Sanitation’s goals to become carbon neutral are clashing with the limits of electric-powered vehicles.
The department aims to switch all 6,000 vehicles in its fleet from gas to electric as part of the state’s goal to reduce emissions by 2040. But city officials say they haven’t found electric garbage trucks that are powerful enough to plow snow …
Officials say previous electric trucks tested by sanitation have not lasted longer than four hours plowing snow before running out of power, and the new electric trucks will be used for trash collection but not plowing snow.
“We found that they could not plow the snow effectively – they basically conked out after four hours. We need them to go 12 hours,” Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch told the City Council last month.

You might not be worried about the welfare of the cadavers in your basement, but the rest of us have responsibilities and a duty of care.
preventing someone from robbing you is basically considered a crime worst than the robbery.
Zipster:
And the refusal to enforce restrictions on entry into Australia by our PM is looking remarkably like the situation in the start of the 2020 spread to Europe.
China refused entry of citizens from Wuhan to other provinces but allowed tens of thousands of sick people to go to Italy.
My Spidey senses are telling me this is the nastyvirus being spread, and our PM is making excuses for doing Jack Shit.
This is on his head.

Pillock. Men do not eat brunch.
Voluntarily, anyway.
Global warming is mysterious like that.
Sounds like Ed would open up more then just doors for crims.
yep. It’s an openAI project. he owns it and microsoft just invested $1b in it.
It amazes me that non-Ukrainians are willing to die for that pile of dogshit. Unless they’re mercenaries, of course, in which case it’s a cost of doing business.
And if they wanted to partake in a little opportunistic ‘rapey, rapey’ with the wife and/or daughter?
You’re sick in the head.
They were Sudanese Youth and were trying to steal a car.
Is a car worth a woman’s life?
Dunno about the rest of Australia, but here in WA it’s illegal to carry a knife period … unless you can satisfy the police you have a legitimate “reason” for doing so.
As we were told by a senior copper: “If you say you need it for fishing, you’d better have a rod over your shoulder and your hands had better reek of bait”.

Ice Age – they Come Rapidly
COMMENT: Marty you may remember this.
When this hit upper midwest I was in middle school in San Diego. I was in the library every morning before school following this, Voyager and Viking.
I watched another rendition of this video on youtube and it cut out the portion where the chief scientist at Lamont-Doherty (Columbia) stated ice-age conditions can return inside of 10-20 years time at any time (or something like that).
REPLY: With Ice Ages, we find a similar pattern of cyclical pattern formations as we do in markets. About 2.6 million years ago, that is when the Earth entered the Pleistocene period. This was marked by an interesting cyclical pattern whereby there were these deep ice ages that came at regular 43,000-year intervals. Then about 1 million years ago, the Earth entered what is known as the Mid-Pleistocene transition period. It was here where these ice age cycles suddenly expanded from 43,000-year intervals to nearly 100,000-year cycles. The last one was about 11,000 years ago. This is not referring to the Mini-Ice Age of the 1600s.
What we do know is that there were tiny changes in Earth’s orbit. These events are known as Milankovitch cycles. They are believed to have driven the planet in and out of these ice ages. However, it is also now assumed that these Milankovitch cycles have not correlated to the sudden jump in nearly doubling the Ice Age cycle length.
Preliminary data from Antarctic Ice Core saw a transition from glacial to interglacial conditions about 430,000 years ago which is known as (Termination V). This transition into the present interglacial period needs to be looked at from intensity using our Energy Models. Scientists look at the magnitude of change in temperatures and greenhouse gases. What seems to be overlooked is the cycle of these warming periods. The interglacial stage following Termination V was quite long running the course of about 28,000 years compared to the 12,000 years period so far in the present interglacial period.
What this is warning is that an Ice Age is not entirely out of the question post-2032. I am awaiting access to the data from the 2.7 million-year core and then run it through Socrates to see if we are indeed going to see a 12,000-year interval or a doubling effect. What does appear to be likely, which explains the frozen animals in Siberia, is that we can see an Ice Age hit within less than 10 years.”

OCO – It’s like the Spanish Civil War with guys coming from all around the world to either fight with the fascists or the communists. Sheesh, what a choice. I think there’re guys that just want to fight irrespective of who for.
No, just infinity more experienced and realistic than you.
A confrontation in the house with a burglar usually ends up with a dead householder.
Advising people to carry knives, poke someone in the eye, kick groins is gonna result in dead people and is verging on criminal advice.

Working on a farm is not a “legitimate reason” to carry a pocket knife.

Are you worried they might put up a fight in the future?
This is the problem with trying to find a trad wife. You choose a woman who is dependent in you in the marriage, then when the marriage breaks down (probably because you are a deadbeat) then she is still dependent on you financially, with the court’s backing.
Better to seek an equal than chattel.
Dover Beach:
That comment by Ed, December 29, 2022 at 6:45 pm should be grounds for a one week suspension. There is absolutely no way that one should go through to the keeper.
Men, don’t often want to leave a marriage, Fatboy. It’s more often the sheila. When men do leave, it’s often because the sheila has caused it to be so making the poor guy’s life insufferable.
Ay? Moderated?
seriously. this program of his is an absolute scam. once a scammer always a scammer.

Meanwhile, if you want an excellent weapon, suitable for a pocket or a lady’s handbag, try the yawara stick.
Fairly sure they’re illegal, at least in NSW.
Looks like a half kilo dumbell. They aren’t illegal. Should make a fairly good dent in a skull or cheekbone. And if a lady manages to cause said ‘gentleman’ to fall to the ground it should make a good pestle to turn testes into pate and have the added benefit of preventing them adding to the gene pool.
When Your ENTIRE RESPONSE to ‘Dispel Misinformation’ is fkn MISINFORMATION in/of itself…
Haha. Monty has arrived after the worst faceplant he’s ever managed.
I suggest Monty that you stop reading WaPo . It’s bad for your brain.
Or maybe it is really smart – seeding stoopidity in the minds of those who never developed smarts beyond matching the time and channel for MAFS.
You know there are people who will hear that explanation from AI and think it is the last word.
Skynet will find its road to world domination paved with the upended buttocks of people with their heads in the sand when it becomes sentient.
And I, for one, welcome our new algorithmic overlords.
Special Ed you’re an idjit. No idea. Put a welcome sign outside with an offer of car, wife and daughter and you’ll blow them kisses as they leave.
“I am seriously impressed that Monty has managed to invoke an actual antisemitic WaPo article to smear Cats for being leary of the Covid vax. Well done son!”
I seriously unsurprised.
What say you Gez?
Don’t get me wrong – I would think any non-Russkie willing to fight alongside the Russkies in Ukraine is equally bonkers. It’s just not our business (as I have said right from the very beginning of the conflict).
You’re probably right about those just wanting to fight. Okay, if that’s how these guys get their kicks – whatever. I don’t think they should be lionised for their hobby if they end up coming home in pieces,though. I’m not even convinced it’s our responsibility to stitch them back together again if they still have a pulse.
I’ve discovered a method of quickly identifying the Tesla drivers who you really need to go out of your way to avoid. You know the mandatory fuel consumption stickers that are found on the windscreens of new cars? The ultra smug Tesla owner will leave theirs on because it reads 0.0L/100km and they’re incredibly proud about that. Don’t ever enter into a conversation with such a person. They’re guaranteed to be Simon Holmes a Court-level insufferable.

I carried said pocket knife in a horizontal pouch, rather then a vertical one – no dramas.
No idea. Put a welcome sign outside with an offer of car, wife and daughter and you’ll blow them kisses as they leave.
You’re a reactionary idiot with sick fantasies.
If you ever returned home to find someone in the house, you’d run outside and call the cops.
Kunkle Dragger:
Brunch consists of a Big Brekky at a Roadhouse. It consists of eggs x2, bacon, snags, baked beans, mushrooms, 4 halves of Texas toast and a bucket of coffee.
It can be hoovered down in less than ten minutes. I have no bloody idea what that wanker is eating but he really needs to get his shit together in terms of time/life management.
Unless, of course, he’s not taking into account the time it takes to pleasure the waitstaff and cook.
What if they want to gang bang special Ed?
It’s like Iraq.
Most of those I killed were NOT Iraqi. Iraqi was like the MCG for any and all who wanted to take a swipe at the Americans.
They poured over the Syrian border every.single.day. A non-stop supply of fertiliser for the Fallujah Football Stadium.
I’m in the camp that humanity may not be able cope with AI. When AI is more developed, and we’ll begin to see major advances in the next 3 years, people will have to cope with reality instead of delusion. I don’t think humans are equipped to handle ultra-reality. I hope it’s not, but it could be disastrous. Musk is often warning about it. I never really understood what he was getting at as I thought he was suggesting we could be creating a deliberately malevolent sky-net. But he wasn’t. I think he was alluding to the points I mentioned above.

So it’s rake o’clock? I guess Field Marshal m0nty will be along soon to provide his sitrep of the Ukraine conflict. Don’t forget to consult your Wehrmacht field guide, m0nts! Offensives can only commence after the spring thaw.
It will include:
Avocado, rocket lettuce, acai, cinnamon, artisanal 12-grain bread.
Not found within a 40 metre radius: Testosterone.
OCO – It’s interesting, I don’t know what the motivation is. If you are inclined you can go fight with the International Brigade for Ukraine or you can sign up with Wagner for the Russians. Lots of guys seem to be doing so. Why I have no idea.
A comparable war was the Iran-Iraq War. Just as futile and ugly. Or the more recent Ethiopia-Eritrea War. I can’t recall a stream of guys going off to fight for any of them though, but here we are with exactly that in Ukraine and Russia. It’s human nature I guess.
Probably wrong Ed considering how many pugilists, soldiers and plod comment here.
If someone is in my home, they surrender or die, or I die.
Just the way it is champ.

Working on a farm is not a “legitimate reason” to carry a pocket knife.
As a Boy Scout in the 1960s we were told to carry a pocket knife. I had big pockets so my knife was on the large size.
Headline should have been:
“In the wake of shooting dead two intruders at her suburban home, 41-yo North Lakes woman discovers she is unable to purchase an ammo resupply on a public holiday”
Look, there is nothing unmanly about hitting a quality 5 star brunch buffet with free flow booze. Gotta get your money’s worth, though. Be strategic. Go for protein and don’t let the waiters be parsimonious about refills.
These things cannot be done quickly, however. And you shouldn’t be driving afterwards anyway, so forget your range anxiety.
For those unable to provide for or protect a family, seeking an “equal” would be the only option.
Good Grief Monty
A stay at home wife isn’t a chattel.
Incidentally if you only have two children what was the chattel supposed to do all day anyhow?
My mother had seven children and never worked outside the home, other than as a volunteer for many different organisations, not for one second did my father treat her as a personal possession.
This is great.

That’s a terrible thing to say about anyone mUnty. For shame.
Money would be a good motivator. Apparently the base pay for a Blackwater contractor in Iraq was $500/day, which was a lot 20 years ago and especially when compared with what you got soldiering for Uncle Sam.
Plus you didn’t have to worry about toecutters crawling up your arse and could get away with literal murder (which is why the US used them).
I read the book Welcome To Blackwater. The shit those guys did to Iraqi civilians and were able to get away with…it’s no wonder the country dissolved into civil war.
You’re so manly, Drills. It’s incredible and we’re all amazed. Now go clean the filthy pool folks complain about, you nimbus.
In your case Dot, your path is to remain an incel.
They sound like sensible people. I don’t like that I’m forced to vote, either.
If someone is in my home, they surrender or die, or I die.

Has anyone ever told you that you’re a total wanker?

I suppose you’d be the most qualified to make that call 🙂
What’s your BMI again monty?
Oh no Ed I’ve pissed off your dead little mate Ricky Slater.
Free Ricky!
