In Germany the police union has complained that its members are stretched thin. They have too many protests to contain. Not two weeks ago an open letter was sent to government signed by several hundred doctors denouncing mandates and lockdowns and the vaccine itself.

Government is becoming more and more

desperate. They are desperate because they are losing. We will win.

Start taking garlands of flowers for the police. Get your kids to draw them pictures, saying they want to be free. Try disarming with love.

A desperate government/ruling elite is never an encouraging thing. A desperate ruling elite is an exceptionally dangerous thing. They can't be shamed into submission, they won't be reasoned into admitting their errors and they have a monopoly on the use of force ("legal" violence).

Winning may not be this easy, glorious mere shifting of public opinion or patience that I think many are imagining it will be. We've/They've built this goliath (government) and allowed it to grow out of control for too long now. It's going to take more than a slingshot, a rock and a lucky shot to bring it to its knees now.

If you live in the US move to the most reliably free states and counties you can find. Work to elect the most reliably limited government, liberty oriented representatives you can find. When elections come, vote the ruling class out and the freedom fighters in. At home and with your family hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Remember this will not end until "we" say it does and strip them of their positions because they will never say it does. They will never voluntarily relinquish the control and authority they've been allowed to assume. They will instead cling to it and seek to grow it by any means necessary.

If you're in Germany, Austria, Australia, Italy, Canada or alike.... run!

It is so hard to tell when they are little. When they are older, pink is for girls, blue is for boys!! But if you get them young, they are much more trainable!! Especially the boys. I had Kitty Bird for 9 years.

el gato this might be worth drawing some attention to (at the risk of making them totally erase the data)

Lovely page with data for Ontario, Canada: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data

Data updates paused on Dec 24 until Dec 28 for Christmas. Data updates resumed today, Dec 29.

I would like to draw your attention to the very interesting first graph, showing cases per 100,000 split out by unvaxed, partially vaxed, fully vaxed. It shows steep increases in all three categories (since Nov 25, 2021), but steepest of all in fully vaxed category. In fact, on Dec 24, fully vaxed cases per 100,000 exceeds unvaxed cases per 100,000 for first time (in this dataset).

Then the pause hits (Christmas Eve). Then the updates resume (today). Every data set on this page is updated except this one. Wonder why? Fortunately, they give you a link to the raw data, found here:

https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/covid-19-vaccine-data-in-ontario/resource/eed63cf2-83dd-4598-b337-b288c0a89a16

Will it surprise you to learn that the data (7 day moving average, cases per 100,000) looks like this:

Date Unvaxed Partial Fully Vaxed

2021-12-24 31.93 29.43 32.39

2021-12-25 36.44 34.74 39.79

2021-12-26 39.42 38.77 45.93

2021-12-27 42.66 43.35 51.95

2021-12-28 45.65 47.72 57.67

2021-12-29 49.9 52.43 63.92

I don't know how to paste the graphs, but I'm sure you do. Please, please, please do.

Thanks! Love your work.

Do you know definition of fully vaxxed? Does it mean 2x or 2x plus boostered?

Expand full comment
forceOfHabit's avatar

Fully vaxxed is 2 weeks past the second dose. From the link with the raw data (no mention of boosters):

"Effective September 13, 2021, individuals are considered fully vaccinated if they have had two doses and the second dose was at least fourteen days ago. Individuals are considered partially vaccinated if they have had one dose at least fourteen days ago, or two doses where the second dose was less than fourteen days ago. Individuals are considered unvaccinated if they have not had a dose, or if their first dose was less than fourteen days ago."

My boyfriend in HS gave me a yellow budgie. I do not like pet birds. I kept it. One day after cleaning its cage I was sitting on the kitchen floor avoiding its exceptionally vicious beak while trying to pet it. Suddenly a black blurr... no budgie outside of 2 floating feathers.. My cat seized the moment, jumped in from the open window, dove in, grabbed the bird and ran out all without touching me. Finger still in the out position. No bird.

Cats are a marvel.

Expand full comment
shasta's avatar

I have read that the mechanism of action is to prevent the virus from replicating itself properly. That creates variants. The idea is that every variant is detrimental for the virus. But, according to what I read, that is too risky and can create more severe variants. It is playing stupid games. Like creating super virus in labs.

And now we had a world wide panic, will that stop them from playing stupid ? of course not. I read several articles where 'scientists' enthousiastically write about how they made even more contagious and way more dangerous viruses in their labs.
