    I second that. I remember hearing Malone in an interview saying that the US bodies were relying on Israel data to pick up adverse effects and only after the myo/pericarditis issues became noticed in the USA did Israel start to notice it. As a result, US authorities are relying more on the Scandinavian data sets for adverse reactions. There is so much interest in the Israeli government to push this vaccine agenda I don't know if any data sets pro-vaccine can be relied upon. Lately, however, there are doctors and hospital heads that are starting to speak out. But the "Trusted News Initiative" is dampening their voices to the extent that many people on the ground don't even believe the words coming from these hospital heads themselves and instead are believing the dickhead pundits.

    By the way, earlier reports on vaccinated cases at Israeli hospitals when there were 152 hospitalized breakthrough infections showed that a full 40% of these cases were immunocompromised, and 96% had co-morbidities including hypertension (71%), diabetes (48%), congestive heart failure (27%), chronic kidney and lung diseases (24% each), dementia (19%) and cancer (24%). Thus, there have been virtually no serious breakthrough Delta infections in Israel for individuals without significant pre-existing conditions.
    Needless to say the age of the cohorts.

    Yes, it is relatively effective in both groups. But what about absolute utility? In the under 50 cohort, it takes severe cases from 39/million to 3/million. For comparison, it leads to symptomatic myocarditis in 10/million of those under 30.

    Maybe a better question is what is the real threat?

    In no particular order, and in my opinion, Nuclear Iran, A North Korea test going horribly wrong, China testing the US over the defense of Taiwan, and a resurgence in terrorism.

    What are not threats, although they are portrayed as such, is racism, UFOs, climate change, mild infectious disease, and an assortment of first world political correctness.

    Am I wrong?

    This is arguably the most disgraceful moment in American history. Yet, not a single American leader has resigned. Unless you count the Columbia/Berkeley/JHU/Kabul statebuilding "expert", Ashraf Ghani, who reportedly absconded to Dubai with $160M in cash.

    My Son just told me that his 30-year-old teacher got his second dose of the vaccine and got myocarditis. When he went to the hospital they told him that there was no connection to the vaccine. He of course knew inside that there was a correlation, so he went to a heart specialist and he told him off the books that it is probably vaccine related but not to mention it in his name. My son asked him if he is going to get the 3rd booster. He answered him with an affirmative "NO WAY"!

    "This is, of course, the problem with having a cynical negative at the centre of your world-view. It doesn't create, it doesn't transcend - it just destroys, but so complete, and so total, is the destruction that it even breaks down the reasoning of the American Empire, which is supposed to be acting as the liberator or morally just party. If the people occupying all the instructions of power in America don't believe in America, or rather, believe in a negation of America, then why should others around the world believe in it? Imagine living in a country currently occupied by American soldiers, and you've seen (via your old, 1990's TV set) images coming out of America of the American ruling class tearing down statues and erasing American heritage. You'd be forgiven for asking a simple question - if the American ruling elite hate America, then why shouldn't we? If the American ruling class has nothing but contempt for the history and identity of America, then who or what is it that rules us, and why are these soldiers here?"

    How is that not a false equivalence? We've all voted for those in Washington. So there's that.

    China became powerful by manipulation of markets, slavery and theft. It was a matter of national security, and it still is. Explain to me how the military should have been used to fix corporate tax rates.

    There are a lot of threats. You'll have to be more specific. Ask yourself that question more explicitly. Here, I'll help: "What agencies, specifically, should take what specific actions to fix the elected body of politicians who created this situation?"

    Sweet. I'm a Nazi now even though your conjecture runs entirely counter to everything I've posted in this thread. Over one opinion. And on the week where my wife's job is going away because they never recovered from COVID lockdowns and lost business! Fantastic. I should hurry over and get my boot on her neck before I run out of time. She is, after all, talented and competent enough to have already secured another job for herself AND her staff, so I'll probably have to use both feet.

    OH, but it is. And again you fall victim to false dichotomy. There are people out there who are outright evil, and they HAVE been involved in attacks and efforts to kill Americans and our allies abroad. They are merciless, cruel bastards who rape, murder and destroy indiscriminately.
    Thank goodness you've never been face-to-face with them and seen it yourself, but don't worry, Kitsuma. You're about to get a taste of what happens when America fails to make good on its promises -- whether we should've made them or not.


    Final time I'll touch on this: I do not support the invasion of Iraq at all, and I do not support the use of conventional forces in places like Afghanistan. I do support visiting vengeance upon those who harm us, and it should be swift, terrifying and absolute. If you don't want to do that, then I think you're either a coward or a fool. Or maybe both. Just the same as I'll gladly go out and catch people who murder and rape in their own communities as criminals and do my utmost to see they get their day in court and see justice done, but I will never persecute the innocent or allow it to be down so long as it is within my ability to stop it.

    They're considering making masks in school mandatory for 30 days in Hillsborough County (Tampa).

    Brutal.
