that is bad. My dentist let us know from the beginning that he would treat us vaxxed or unvaxxed. I am glad bc we have been going to him for 20 years. He also has a "brain" and common sense
My doc, too, though not because of a vaxx requirement. Instead, he refused to prescribe IVM and he refused to even have an adult discussion about it. So now I have a doctor in Virginia (I live in Puerto Rico) and a dentist in New Hampshire. All OOP, no insurance coverage. But that also means I'm not held hostage by the insurance co, by the medical boards, or by anyone else.
Changed my doc too. I tried to have a conversation with him about IVM and I brought citations/evidence. He did not want to look at mine and looked on his smart phone at the CDC's recommendations, then told me it was unsafe and that he was a scientist and knows better. I told him, by following a recipe on his smart phone, at best, he was a technician not a scientist. Bye bye to a doc I had been seeing for 16 years.
I LOVE THAT! Yes, if you are dumbly 'following the internet people' instead of using the BRAIN God gave you, then you are indeed a technician and not a scientist.
She's in Charlottesville (so, a Tele-Med doc, because I have family in VA Beach), I found her from the FLCCC website. Melanie Dorion is her name. Had a terrific 30-minute first consult with her. More than just an IVM rubber-stamp doc & visit.
My doctor ridiculously claimed that Ivermectin is dangerous. There are no doctors taking on new patients within Eastern Ontario. I am doing my best to educate him, but as everyone knows it is almost impossible to reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. Since my doctor won’t prescribe Ivermectin I am giving him doses of Drs. McCullough and Kory etc.
So dangerous that it's been prescribed billions of times in Africa, where nutrition ain't so great and the people ain't so healthy; so dangerous that the US *requires* incoming refugees - again, likely undernourished if not malnourished - to take IVM, even without knowing whether the refugees have anything treatable by IVM.
So dangerous that "in 2015, the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine, in its only award for treatments of infectious diseases since six decades prior, honoured the discovery of ivermectin."
So dangerous that "since March 2020, when IVM was first used against...COVID-19...six of seven meta-analyses of IVM treatment RCTs reporting in 2021 found notable reductions in COVID-19 fatalities, with a mean 31% relative risk of mortality vs. controls. During mass IVM treatments in Peru, excess deaths fell by a mean of 74% over 30 days in its ten states with the most extensive treatments."
What's really so dangerous are doctors and the near-entirety of the so-called "health" community.
I asked my primary doc about IVM. He hedged a bit and said he had a friend that got the original CCCP flu and took it, but still died. I didn't ask, but the friend was probably nearly dead when he used it. I am not risking having it denied to me by him or a hospitalist, so I bought some from the local seed and feed store to have on hand just in case.
My dentist here in Cape Town called the BS right from the beginning. He is incredibly on the ball, knowledgeable, and outspoken. The only doctor I have felt safe to speak with, to be honest. My GP, on the other hand, couldn't wait to shove me off to get the second jab - even when I was consulting with her about the terrible effects I was having from the first, forced injection! She was completely clueless on the latest research on post-infection immunity, too. GPs are NOT working in our best interests, except for an enlightened and brave few. They are puppets, and toeing the line.
My late wife’s long time podiatrist threw a fit when my nose was sticking out of my mask - We told him he’d canceled the appointment and we wouldn’t be back.

One more thing - this just in: My employer (mid-sized law firm; deep blue state). Fri Jan 7 "booster mandatory" / Fri Jan 14 "boosters not mandatory at this time..."
they know as they are no longer held to Biden’s large business mandate requirements that employees who are forced to get the jab can now hold them legally responsible for vaccine injuries.
thanks - actually we are < 100. But! I had read that in the almost 500 pages of the actual OSHA rule, OSHA said they would NOT limit enforcement to only 100+ employers but, rather, to all employers - scary! And adverted for now.
I noticed that just recently NYU stopped putting a notification every time I logged on that I was "out of compliance" with their vaccine requirement and pausing my entry into the site for 30 seconds (presumably so I could think about what a naughty girl I am). On the other hand, they are still reminding everyone that they really need to upload their proof of having had the booster ASAP. I guess they're either not keeping up with the news from European regulators about boosters. Or, they are trying to get as much poison into as many arms as they can before they have to stop.
That is very good to hear! All I'm seeing among people I know is they are still obsessing about getting their kids into college (hopefully the "right" ones) and completely ignoring the damage those schools will do to them. But then, that is probably a function of the demographic I'm in.
I am with Mike Rowe on trade schools, STEM or otherwise. My plumber for years is very likely a millionaire now. He has been talking about retiring early. We are always going to need people who can do hands-on work, dirty or not. My roofer, carpenter and all-around excellent fixer of anything is also probably close to retiring, and he never went to college.
Maybe upload a copy of either the Constitution or the Declaration where they want you to upload proof of the booster? Just to see whether they actually look at what gets uploaded.
I have a great and funny story to tell that I simply CANNOT tell, because I don't want to be like the guy in the bar who confesses to the stranger on the stool next to him how he defrauded the government on his tax return, not knowing that that stranger was an IRS agent.
The NHL made it over the 50% mark of players that had COVID this season a couple of weeks ago. Only one unvaccinated player. It is probably over 70% now. Quite insane.
and college students as well. It's horrible what they're doing to healthy young adults and kids. I cannot fathom the number of vax injuries and deaths that will result from this wave of vaccinations and now, the boosters.
I know. I want the college administrators responsible for this prosecuted and imprisoned. At the very least. Of course, at the same time, I'm really our of patience with parents who not only put up with the treatment their children are getting from colleges and universities, but are willing to pay good money for it. SMDH!
I hear you, all of the above as well. My husband is a university admin. I probs shouldn't even admit that fact and promise you I have been nauseous for over a decade. I would like you to know, though, that he has refused the jab (technically, he got a "medical" but that was sought because he was desperate - as so many many are) and he submits to the weekly testing.
This issue is so so so much more complicated than the world ever imagined in the John Hopkins fantasy play of 2016 SPAR, or what ever the hell they called it...
That college admin spouse of mine has had to work with and for colleagues with worldview points he is in diametric opposition to and return home each night to a housewife who has mocked this from March 13, 2020 and warned that the minute he put that mask on he would be wearing it for a year. What I'm saying is the poor guy has me ranting "resist that b.s.!" every night for the FIRST 12 months! and then has to help them figure out how to eff over the entire campus population.
He probably isn't the only person in that position. When we can get to the point of discussing the effects of having a bifurcated life there's gonna be a lot to say...
we've been planning the resignation for a few months now - he's 60 - meeting with an independent retirement planner next week. Not that I have any faith in the monetary system these days.
I hope you will be able to keep yourself sane and as financially secure as your neighbors. God be with you.
Tested 16x? That's absolutely nothing! My ucla senior is unvaccinated and has to test twice a week on campus and submit a test done elsewhere prior to the start of each quarter and prior to return from Xmas and spring breaks. I have another son working on a PhD at UCSD, he's drunk the Kool Aid, vaxxed and boosted, still must test once a week and wear an N95 on campus, he's not off for summer break so that's over 50 tests in a year. Fully vaccinated.
My kid is a D1 athlete, unvaxed, tested over 100x each one neg despite known exposure (her bf,roommate ,teammates have all been + at some point).I had her IgG tested Aug 2020 & Aug 2021 both negative..Tcell detect Aug 2021,negative. She's had a couple colds, still neg. Athletics was testing unvaxed 3x per week Aug 2021, vaxed 0x.A month later,when vaxed started having symptoms...vaxed 1 x per week Ag (Antigen)test,Unvaxed 2x/week 1 pcr,1 Antigen. My kid still negative.I said to her "look.how stupid these ppl are...over 100 tests all negative and they can't understand you're not going to get sick, be infective, spread virus." Colleges are full of idiots .
I tested positive Dec. 30, Abbott home test. My entire household is unvaccinated, my 2 PhD sons 1 ucsd, 1 Stanford) are vaxxed. I'm watching Stanford son right now on the YouTube, he's competing on the climbing team. I tested positive, my entire symptoms were an extra acute sense of smell for 8 days and a raspy voice for 2 days. And I kept testing positive. I did not isolate from my household. No one else got it. They keep testing. Not one.
My UCLA son has definitely tested negative more than 100x. He also has to submit a health questionnaire every time he's on campus.
Stanford was the worst. They denied his religious exemption saying that once he cited scripture and interpreted what it meant to him it was no longer a religion but a personal philosophy. His doctor completed a medical exemption and they required a phone conference with his Dr, which he did, and still rejected it.
I think they're exceptionally fit and healthy and they won't get regardless of exposure. Their dad is an RN, works with covid patients, is unvaccinated and has never gotten it.
Meanwhile, the province of New Brunswick, next to where I live, is going into a 16-day lockdown at midnight tonight - 0 public gatherings, can only socialize with your own household, no dine in, no gyms, no sports, no kids in school.
Canada hasn’t gotten the message it’s over yet. :’(
My observation from a lifetime in Canada is that Canadians are an incredibly slow-moving conservative conformist group. So they usually take longer to take up the stupid ideas than do other countries, and are usually continuing on with them long after other countries have discarded them.
This exactly. It meant something to us once. I’m sure my WWII vet grandpa who lied about his age so he could go fight for our freedom at 17 would be disgusted at what we’ve become were he still alive.
Yes. Our gov. is totally tyrannical. The province of Quebec has announced that they will introduce a tax on those who refuse the shot. It could be a scare tactic because already, after just a few days, there are reports of thousands getting the 1st shot. In that province, about 85% vaxx rate.
The hospital system is in “crisis” with a “record high” 104 C19 patients (9 ICU). And they put 390 healthcare workers off work after testing pos.
They are beyond stupid. Quote from the premier: “ It will give the province the time it needs, however, to slow the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant, administer booster doses and vaccinate children aged five to 11.”
This is their logic:
“He noted of the nine people in intensive care, 78 per cent are either unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or it has been more than six months since their second dose.”
They’re blaming this all on the unvaxxed and are preparing to “compel” people to get vaxxed.
Dangit- I was working on gathering a list of all the NBA players who have tested positive this year to write a substack. I have been gathering just based on news reports, but wrote to nba.com yesterday to see if they could provide a complete list. While I applaud the strategy, it kills my next substack post 😆. I was tracking this down in alphabetical order: Atlanta- 13 players, Boston- 16, Brooklyn- 14, Charlotte- 13, Chicago- 16... this is all out of roster sizes of 17.
Oh & by the way... in many cases (e.g. Chicago Bulls Pat Williams), the players that I don't have a recorded Covid case are actually out with some other injury, so they may have had it, but it didn't make the news because they weren't playing anyway.
Canadians = Torontonians in this instance. Never have I seen such a witless flock. True clapping seals begging for him to throw them a fish. Of course, Trudon’t won’t dare to pursue the election reform he promised—and ran on—8 years ago because the 416 electorate keeps him in power each election. Although, now that he’s stubbornly enforced a useless mandate against truckers, which will undoubtedly result in food shortages for his sheep, I’m hopeful he’ll soon run out of political capital. Starvation tends to rouse people from their stupors.
I went to church today and I found the reading (from Samuel) very interesting. The reading describes Samuel warning the people that if they get a king as they want, he will tax them harshly and enslave them. Still, the people want a king to govern them and lead them in battle. So Samuel talks to God, tells him what the people want and God replies: give them what they want.
It seems that for a long time, people prefer tyranny over freedom.
That's good news. Now we just need to get US public schools to stop testing students who have a runny nose or who aren't even sick. I see solemn news reports announcing how schools are short staffed and many students are absent. Yet few or no kids are seriously ill or dying from the coronavirus, or even sick in the first place.
As a parent of a student in public schools, it's crystal clear that the public school systems are causing their own problems with short staffs and student absences. Their fear-based policies of repeatedly testing every kid and staff member, even those who aren't sick at all are mind-blowingly dumb. And these ridiculous policies will likely never go away, unlike in the NBA. If you're able to get your child into a private school, run as fast as you can!
Yes, I'm so glad I'm not a parent of a school-aged kid these days (mine are grown). I honestly don't know if I could have gotten through it without being arrested. I just don't think I could have kept my cool with all the idiocy on parade; and the consequent child abuse.
The last 2 years have been horrible for many parents and families. The worst part is there's still no end in sight. Many kids are depressed and suicidal. And, yes, the way kids have been treated by governments is tantamount to child abuse.
Agree. They are clinging to our school policies desperately. My kids are in private and still can't get out of masks. I offered to have them transfer to a nearby mask optional school but they love their friends and that is their priority so that wins out for now. Many public schools around us have switched to virtual "temporarily". Sending another letter out to school administration today advocating for giving childhood back to our kids. I do feel the tides are starting to turn, just not fast enough for our kids. Hope yours are free again soon.
Thank you, I hope so too. I've attended many school board meetings, contacted the school board, and even the governor about the school closures and mask rules but it's just a massive wall of bureaucracy. Nobody cares. We can't afford private school here - it costs between $18k-$27k a year - but my child will graduate high school in 2.5 more years and then we will be permanently done with the public school system.
The CDC (Center for Discombobulation and Control) openly admitted that their COVID death numbers have been off, way off, to the tune of over a 75% miscalculation. They claim that over 75% of 'COVID' deaths previously reported were actually from people with FOUR or more comorbidities (illnesses) who tested positive for COVID. We also know that the PCR tests can't decipher between a flu virus or cold virus, or if it is even an active COVID. All of these positive cases are basically bogus.
The question is which major corporations still want to play suck-up to the Administration by enforcing their own vax mandates. Of course, if they suspect class-action lawsuits, they won't. But if they've only got a minority now of unvaxxed employees, the play-acting continues...
On another note--from yesterday I saw that Twitter no longer allows browsing of previously-public Twitter feeds without signing up for an acct. So Substack samizdat is now more important than ever, with links to other like-minded Felidae...
Here’s hoping there are many lawsuits in the making for the tyrannical dictums of the NBA and NFL. (Not sure about MLB.) I quit watching them all when they bowed the knee to BLM (and opened their checkbooks). Plus, we dumped cable to keep the fear porn out.
When large loot is in-play, and for better or worse, that has been the case for college and professional sports, the pressure against "playing pandemic" eventually becomes unbearable. This leads to policy modifications and, in this case, push-back against dumb-assed practices. Even as a sports fan, unsure how I feel about this. A victory is a victory, though!
I expect Governor Gavin Newsom to double down and not only demand regular hourly testing of all professional athletes, but also all of the equipment, as well. Never can be too careful with the nets or rims or shoes, you know.
I have NBA season tickets for the Sacramento Kings, and as an unvaxxed person, I still have to test negative 24hrs before a game to attend. Vaxxed can go into the arena, regardless of their viral status, even though we know and the bad guys in office know, that the vaxxed are more likely to be infected than the unvaxxed. Since this is California, I doubt any of the testing/vaxx requirements will lessen anytime soon, because all of the government is in thrall to the Pharma Kings. The walls are crumbling and I just know these jackals will double down--MORE VAXX REQUIREMENTS!!!
They can't admit they were intentionally ignoring science, there will be too much of a paper record now in their emails and "confidential" medical surveillance reports to walk back the shot mandates. San Quentin's death chamber may be temporarily closed, but with a new coat of paint, some upgrades in wiring and a few brave souls willing to truly help humanity, we can clean up government pretty fast.
I live in Sac and after getting a few unpleasant surprises while attending a Kings pre-season event at the Golden 1 Center - like my minor child being told she had to show picture ID with proof of vaccine to get in (she has a vaccine card but what child has a photo ID?) - I noped out of going to any more events at the arena.
Gov. Newsom is running scared now because this is an election year and that's why he's been silent on more lockdowns and school closures. I predict he'll declare "victory" this year over Covid and use that in his re-election campaign. It's a shame he won't tell K-12 schools to lift their ridiculous mask mandates but I predict he'll say those mandates will now be under "local control" - aka he's not accountable for any more crazy mask rules. I hope he gets pounded in re-election by a candidate who'll push for school choice.
I don't know how people with children in school have put up with this insanity here in California.
I also don't think the election will be on the up and up. Newsom, after locking out kids and small businesses for a year ended up the recall with a slightly higher percentage win than last election.
As with regards to the Kings security, I love how any little bit of power turns some people into complete nut jobs on enforcement. At least we know who will be loading the cattle cars for the internment camps.
Years ago, one of my work associates also worked for the Kings. He brought me down to the floor to meet Gary Gerould after a game, where I was tackled to the floor by a courtside security guard because the guard didn't recognize me and my press pass was the "wrong color".
It's amazing! This "brand new" information about "if you are sick, stay home" and, "only get tested if you have symptoms for something". I can't wait until "brand new" information comes out regarding eating right, taking a few supplements, getting some sunshine and fresh air and participating in some moderate exercise once in awhile come out. As for me, I'm not going to do any of this until I'm sure that it's been discovered by "the science" and the corporate media of course. ;-) *Kidding of course. Being a bit sarcastic here.*
Does this mean that at least A FEW "official" people are realizing that it is ridiculous to test people who do not have symptoms of the disease? I have been saying this everywhere for two years; they have kept testing everyone and counting "cases"...
'no one wants to play pandemic anymore' except in Canada. Today;s legacy news had an article about a provincial premier catching covid 'when he took his mask off' to speak at a news conference. Our public health officials are so brilliant that they know it happened at that exact moment. I think they're blaming the microphone because everyone else present was vaxxed and boosted including the premier.
Speaking of professional athletes, Alphonso Davies, the 21 year-old star for Bayern Munich, is out at least 4 weeks with myocarditis. He had a booster shot in December, tested positive for Covid on January 4, was asymptomatic but had imaging done as part of the club’s return to play protocol. This is of course being blamed on Covid but could easily be a consequence of the booster shot on its own or the booster and infection shortly thereafter. Why the hell are they giving uber-healthy 21 year olds booster shots?
These places I used to enjoy, restaurants, concerts, sports events....
Well, they have such vile nazi feel to them.... keep them. No matter what you do, I'm Irish and have Irish Altzheimers... I forget everything but my resentments
Eating drive thru in my car and going to lakes.... friendly places.
And US to stop hospitals reporting daily covid deaths. Just declare victory and move to the next psyop. "US government will announce the victory of anti-covid by not reporting death numbers."
"No one wants to play pandemic now", except the US Supreme Court (maintaining Health Care Vaccine Mandate), the CDC/NIAID/Fauci/Walensky/MSM with their N95 Masks are the newest safety measure, Biden who promises more testing (hint: testing don't fix stupid, stupid!). I hope you are right, gato and this ends soon, but we must NOT forget, not ever!
But with all those tests Biden bought for us to use for free and all those doses of vaccines the government bought, will the powers allow the Covid industry to fade?
I know a lot of doctors and nurses who would love to stop "playing pandemic". Unfortunately, they don't really have that option, because it's still very real and very much affecting them.
It's amazing! This "brand new" information about "if you are sick, stay home" and, "only get tested if you have symptoms for something". I can't wait until "brand new" information comes out regarding eating right, taking a few supplements, getting some sunshine and fresh air and participating in some moderate exercise once in awhile come out.

Kyrie Irving and Jonathan Isaac deserve our respect.
And Bradley Beal.
*They* may not want to play pandemic anymore, but I definitely now want to play "make suffer greatly those who played pandemic for 2 years".
Target the MSM and Leftists. My butcher made me wear a mask. That didn’t turn me into a Vegan.
My dentist made me get vaxxed. Instead, I got a new dentist.
that is bad. My dentist let us know from the beginning that he would treat us vaxxed or unvaxxed. I am glad bc we have been going to him for 20 years. He also has a "brain" and common sense
Same with me with my doctor....new doctor quick as my legs could carry me!
My doc, too, though not because of a vaxx requirement. Instead, he refused to prescribe IVM and he refused to even have an adult discussion about it. So now I have a doctor in Virginia (I live in Puerto Rico) and a dentist in New Hampshire. All OOP, no insurance coverage. But that also means I'm not held hostage by the insurance co, by the medical boards, or by anyone else.

So dangerous that it's been prescribed billions of times in Africa, where nutrition ain't so great and the people ain't so healthy; so dangerous that the US *requires* incoming refugees - again, likely undernourished if not malnourished - to take IVM, even without knowing whether the refugees have anything treatable by IVM.

Target the thinking. And make them repudiate as much of it, as well as where it came from, as possible.
😂😂😂
When are we going demand they stop all of this fraudulent COVID testing….even the CDC says the test are worthless, but still we keep testing.
@The Aging Viking, yesterday wouldn’t be soon enough!
Also, I’m trying to imagine the sheer monetary costs of all this constant testing. What a huge waste!
The price we pay to have the Government feed us propaganda and maintain the fear.
Agree 100%... but please clarify: "they" keep testing, not "we"... thank you.
Last time I looked in America we are the Government and we need to stand up to stop it.
Agree again AV, we need to stop it, but we are not testing... they are 🙂
These rapid test boxes are the new masks! They're just lying around everywhere
You should be….hospitals are just using up worthless PCR test kit inventory.
“After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives,” the CDC said.
The Republicans are just as bought and paid for by Pharma as the Dems are.
you may benefit from all the flushing of your nasal passages...kept any virus from accumulating, instead it is flushed out and not going down into lungs, etc.
Over the next few weeks it will finally be the news.

hope so
NYC?
I noticed that just recently NYU stopped putting a notification every time I logged on that I was "out of compliance" with their vaccine requirement and pausing my entry into the site for 30 seconds (presumably so I could think about what a naughty girl I am). On the other hand, they are still reminding everyone that they really need to upload their proof of having had the booster ASAP. I guess they're either not keeping up with the news from European regulators about boosters. Or, they are trying to get as much poison into as many arms as they can before they have to stop.
Undergrad enrollment down 465K at US Univ and Colleges last fall. "Not sustainable" as they like to say.
That is very good to hear! All I'm seeing among people I know is they are still obsessing about getting their kids into college (hopefully the "right" ones) and completely ignoring the damage those schools will do to them. But then, that is probably a function of the demographic I'm in.
I am with Mike Rowe on trade schools, STEM or otherwise. My plumber for years is very likely a millionaire now. He has been talking about retiring early. We are always going to need people who can do hands-on work, dirty or not. My roofer, carpenter and all-around excellent fixer of anything is also probably close to retiring, and he never went to college.
Maybe upload a copy of either the Constitution or the Declaration where they want you to upload proof of the booster? Just to see whether they actually look at what gets uploaded.
I have a great and funny story to tell that I simply CANNOT tell, because I don't want to be like the guy in the bar who confesses to the stranger on the stool next to him how he defrauded the government on his tax return, not knowing that that stranger was an IRS agent.
Good idea!
maybe they do not want to harass you privately but publicly want to keep the Karens calm by making the public face still pushing the boosters.
U naughty girl 🤣🤣🤣
The NHL made it over the 50% mark of players that had COVID this season a couple of weeks ago. Only one unvaccinated player. It is probably over 70% now. Quite insane.

Pack up the CoronaCircus and get the F out of town!
yeeaah!
So why do millions of Americans have to play surveillance being required sometimes twice a week to go to work?
and college students as well. It's horrible what they're doing to healthy young adults and kids. I cannot fathom the number of vax injuries and deaths that will result from this wave of vaccinations and now, the boosters.
I know. I want the college administrators responsible for this prosecuted and imprisoned. At the very least. Of course, at the same time, I'm really our of patience with parents who not only put up with the treatment their children are getting from colleges and universities, but are willing to pay good money for it. SMDH!
I hear you, all of the above as well. My husband is a university admin. I probs shouldn't even admit that fact and promise you I have been nauseous for over a decade. I would like you to know, though, that he has refused the jab (technically, he got a "medical" but that was sought because he was desperate - as so many many are) and he submits to the weekly testing.
This issue is so so so much more complicated than the world ever imagined in the John Hopkins fantasy play of 2016 SPAR, or what ever the hell they called it...
That college admin spouse of mine has had to work with and for colleagues with worldview points he is in diametric opposition to and return home each night to a housewife who has mocked this from March 13, 2020 and warned that the minute he put that mask on he would be wearing it for a year. What I'm saying is the poor guy has me ranting "resist that b.s.!" every night for the FIRST 12 months! and then has to help them figure out how to eff over the entire campus population.
He probably isn't the only person in that position. When we can get to the point of discussing the effects of having a bifurcated life there's gonna be a lot to say...
Just resigned my faculty after 21 yrs at a major university over this whole box of nonsense.
I watched the numbers reported by the corona threat committee every week. There were 3 admins that refused throughout the fall.
Pls let him know that faculty refusing are looking at those numbers & finding solidarity, even if it’s anonymous. I cheered on those 3 every week.
It’s incredibly complicated, as you say since it’s tied into all the other issues.
Stay strong.
we've been planning the resignation for a few months now - he's 60 - meeting with an independent retirement planner next week. Not that I have any faith in the monetary system these days.
I hope you will be able to keep yourself sane and as financially secure as your neighbors. God be with you.
Tested 16x? That's absolutely nothing! My ucla senior is unvaccinated and has to test twice a week on campus and submit a test done elsewhere prior to the start of each quarter and prior to return from Xmas and spring breaks. I have another son working on a PhD at UCSD, he's drunk the Kool Aid, vaxxed and boosted, still must test once a week and wear an N95 on campus, he's not off for summer break so that's over 50 tests in a year. Fully vaccinated.
My kid is a D1 athlete, unvaxed, tested over 100x each one neg despite known exposure (her bf,roommate ,teammates have all been + at some point).I had her IgG tested Aug 2020 & Aug 2021 both negative..Tcell detect Aug 2021,negative. She's had a couple colds, still neg. Athletics was testing unvaxed 3x per week Aug 2021, vaxed 0x.A month later,when vaxed started having symptoms...vaxed 1 x per week Ag (Antigen)test,Unvaxed 2x/week 1 pcr,1 Antigen. My kid still negative.I said to her "look.how stupid these ppl are...over 100 tests all negative and they can't understand you're not going to get sick, be infective, spread virus." Colleges are full of idiots .
I tested positive Dec. 30, Abbott home test. My entire household is unvaccinated, my 2 PhD sons 1 ucsd, 1 Stanford) are vaxxed. I'm watching Stanford son right now on the YouTube, he's competing on the climbing team. I tested positive, my entire symptoms were an extra acute sense of smell for 8 days and a raspy voice for 2 days. And I kept testing positive. I did not isolate from my household. No one else got it. They keep testing. Not one.
My UCLA son has definitely tested negative more than 100x. He also has to submit a health questionnaire every time he's on campus.
Stanford was the worst. They denied his religious exemption saying that once he cited scripture and interpreted what it meant to him it was no longer a religion but a personal philosophy. His doctor completed a medical exemption and they required a phone conference with his Dr, which he did, and still rejected it.
I think they're exceptionally fit and healthy and they won't get regardless of exposure. Their dad is an RN, works with covid patients, is unvaccinated and has never gotten it.
Do you you have this url?
https://universitybusiness.com/state-by-state-look-at-colleges-requiring-vaccines/
That’s me—I’ve got to test twice a week even though I have natural immunity.
I just did a T cell detect test, one year one week later still have T cells. This is all so ridiculous
What were details. Where you get it? How much? How long for results?
T cell tests are the way to go. If you had covid or a decent vaccine, T cell memory should last a long time (years).

I think I paid 220 total
You can order it yourself and they send you to labcorp for the blood drawl and LC sends it to their lab.
Meanwhile, the province of New Brunswick, next to where I live, is going into a 16-day lockdown at midnight tonight - 0 public gatherings, can only socialize with your own household, no dine in, no gyms, no sports, no kids in school.
Canada hasn’t gotten the message it’s over yet. :’(
My observation from a lifetime in Canada is that Canadians are an incredibly slow-moving conservative conformist group. So they usually take longer to take up the stupid ideas than do other countries, and are usually continuing on with them long after other countries have discarded them.
Probability my biggest disappointment, since Canada has long history of courageous participation and sacrifice in defense of freedom 🥺
This exactly. It meant something to us once. I’m sure my WWII vet grandpa who lied about his age so he could go fight for our freedom at 17 would be disgusted at what we’ve become were he still alive.
😢
Do Canadians have an authoritarian streak like the Australians? If yes, then maybe that could answer it, if not, I don't know :)
23 months ago I would have said no. I assumed most loved freedom and we’ve always willingly fought for it. I don’t even recognize my country today.
Yes. Our gov. is totally tyrannical. The province of Quebec has announced that they will introduce a tax on those who refuse the shot. It could be a scare tactic because already, after just a few days, there are reports of thousands getting the 1st shot. In that province, about 85% vaxx rate.
NB and Quebec are slowing the end of the Panicdemic.
what prompted this?
The hospital system is in “crisis” with a “record high” 104 C19 patients (9 ICU). And they put 390 healthcare workers off work after testing pos.
They are beyond stupid. Quote from the premier: “ It will give the province the time it needs, however, to slow the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant, administer booster doses and vaccinate children aged five to 11.”
This is their logic:
“He noted of the nine people in intensive care, 78 per cent are either unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, or it has been more than six months since their second dose.”
They’re blaming this all on the unvaxxed and are preparing to “compel” people to get vaxxed.
It’s so dystopian in this country right now…
Dangit- I was working on gathering a list of all the NBA players who have tested positive this year to write a substack. I have been gathering just based on news reports, but wrote to nba.com yesterday to see if they could provide a complete list. While I applaud the strategy, it kills my next substack post 😆. I was tracking this down in alphabetical order: Atlanta- 13 players, Boston- 16, Brooklyn- 14, Charlotte- 13, Chicago- 16... this is all out of roster sizes of 17.
Oh & by the way... in many cases (e.g. Chicago Bulls Pat Williams), the players that I don't have a recorded Covid case are actually out with some other injury, so they may have had it, but it didn't make the news because they weren't playing anyway.
Meanwhile: Canadians are taking to the streets to protest the lack of quarantine camps to surrender themselves.
Canadians = Torontonians in this instance. Never have I seen such a witless flock. True clapping seals begging for him to throw them a fish. Of course, Trudon’t won’t dare to pursue the election reform he promised—and ran on—8 years ago because the 416 electorate keeps him in power each election. Although, now that he’s stubbornly enforced a useless mandate against truckers, which will undoubtedly result in food shortages for his sheep, I’m hopeful he’ll soon run out of political capital. Starvation tends to rouse people from their stupors.
I went to church today and I found the reading (from Samuel) very interesting. The reading describes Samuel warning the people that if they get a king as they want, he will tax them harshly and enslave them. Still, the people want a king to govern them and lead them in battle. So Samuel talks to God, tells him what the people want and God replies: give them what they want.
It seems that for a long time, people prefer tyranny over freedom.
I had the same thought this morning.
I can't find anything
wait... What?!
That's good news. Now we just need to get US public schools to stop testing students who have a runny nose or who aren't even sick. I see solemn news reports announcing how schools are short staffed and many students are absent. Yet few or no kids are seriously ill or dying from the coronavirus, or even sick in the first place.
As a parent of a student in public schools, it's crystal clear that the public school systems are causing their own problems with short staffs and student absences. Their fear-based policies of repeatedly testing every kid and staff member, even those who aren't sick at all are mind-blowingly dumb. And these ridiculous policies will likely never go away, unlike in the NBA. If you're able to get your child into a private school, run as fast as you can!
Yes, I'm so glad I'm not a parent of a school-aged kid these days (mine are grown). I honestly don't know if I could have gotten through it without being arrested. I just don't think I could have kept my cool with all the idiocy on parade; and the consequent child abuse.
The last 2 years have been horrible for many parents and families. The worst part is there's still no end in sight. Many kids are depressed and suicidal. And, yes, the way kids have been treated by governments is tantamount to child abuse.
Agree. They are clinging to our school policies desperately. My kids are in private and still can't get out of masks. I offered to have them transfer to a nearby mask optional school but they love their friends and that is their priority so that wins out for now. Many public schools around us have switched to virtual "temporarily". Sending another letter out to school administration today advocating for giving childhood back to our kids. I do feel the tides are starting to turn, just not fast enough for our kids. Hope yours are free again soon.
Thank you, I hope so too. I've attended many school board meetings, contacted the school board, and even the governor about the school closures and mask rules but it's just a massive wall of bureaucracy. Nobody cares. We can't afford private school here - it costs between $18k-$27k a year - but my child will graduate high school in 2.5 more years and then we will be permanently done with the public school system.
The CDC (Center for Discombobulation and Control) openly admitted that their COVID death numbers have been off, way off, to the tune of over a 75% miscalculation. They claim that over 75% of 'COVID' deaths previously reported were actually from people with FOUR or more comorbidities (illnesses) who tested positive for COVID. We also know that the PCR tests can't decipher between a flu virus or cold virus, or if it is even an active COVID. All of these positive cases are basically bogus.
The question is which major corporations still want to play suck-up to the Administration by enforcing their own vax mandates. Of course, if they suspect class-action lawsuits, they won't. But if they've only got a minority now of unvaxxed employees, the play-acting continues...
On another note--from yesterday I saw that Twitter no longer allows browsing of previously-public Twitter feeds without signing up for an acct. So Substack samizdat is now more important than ever, with links to other like-minded Felidae...
I find myself looking up words from your posts to learn new words or to check if my understanding of a word meaning is correct. I love it!
You are yet another reason to read here. Thank you.
Gosh! Thank YOU! (As a fiction and non-fiction writer this means more to me than you can imagine. Made my day.)
Mine too! I refined my understanding of Samizat (I think you've used it before) and love "Felidae"
Here’s hoping there are many lawsuits in the making for the tyrannical dictums of the NBA and NFL. (Not sure about MLB.) I quit watching them all when they bowed the knee to BLM (and opened their checkbooks). Plus, we dumped cable to keep the fear porn out.
When large loot is in-play, and for better or worse, that has been the case for college and professional sports, the pressure against "playing pandemic" eventually becomes unbearable. This leads to policy modifications and, in this case, push-back against dumb-assed practices. Even as a sports fan, unsure how I feel about this. A victory is a victory, though!
I expect Governor Gavin Newsom to double down and not only demand regular hourly testing of all professional athletes, but also all of the equipment, as well. Never can be too careful with the nets or rims or shoes, you know.
I have NBA season tickets for the Sacramento Kings, and as an unvaxxed person, I still have to test negative 24hrs before a game to attend. Vaxxed can go into the arena, regardless of their viral status, even though we know and the bad guys in office know, that the vaxxed are more likely to be infected than the unvaxxed. Since this is California, I doubt any of the testing/vaxx requirements will lessen anytime soon, because all of the government is in thrall to the Pharma Kings. The walls are crumbling and I just know these jackals will double down--MORE VAXX REQUIREMENTS!!!
They can't admit they were intentionally ignoring science, there will be too much of a paper record now in their emails and "confidential" medical surveillance reports to walk back the shot mandates. San Quentin's death chamber may be temporarily closed, but with a new coat of paint, some upgrades in wiring and a few brave souls willing to truly help humanity, we can clean up government pretty fast.
WHOOPS..
https://theagingviking.substack.com/p/whoops
I live in Sac and after getting a few unpleasant surprises while attending a Kings pre-season event at the Golden 1 Center - like my minor child being told she had to show picture ID with proof of vaccine to get in (she has a vaccine card but what child has a photo ID?) - I noped out of going to any more events at the arena.
Gov. Newsom is running scared now because this is an election year and that's why he's been silent on more lockdowns and school closures. I predict he'll declare "victory" this year over Covid and use that in his re-election campaign. It's a shame he won't tell K-12 schools to lift their ridiculous mask mandates but I predict he'll say those mandates will now be under "local control" - aka he's not accountable for any more crazy mask rules. I hope he gets pounded in re-election by a candidate who'll push for school choice.
I don't know how people with children in school have put up with this insanity here in California.
I also don't think the election will be on the up and up. Newsom, after locking out kids and small businesses for a year ended up the recall with a slightly higher percentage win than last election.
As with regards to the Kings security, I love how any little bit of power turns some people into complete nut jobs on enforcement. At least we know who will be loading the cattle cars for the internment camps.
Years ago, one of my work associates also worked for the Kings. He brought me down to the floor to meet Gary Gerould after a game, where I was tackled to the floor by a courtside security guard because the guard didn't recognize me and my press pass was the "wrong color".
Can we save humanity from itself?
It's amazing! This "brand new" information about "if you are sick, stay home" and, "only get tested if you have symptoms for something". I can't wait until "brand new" information comes out regarding eating right, taking a few supplements, getting some sunshine and fresh air and participating in some moderate exercise once in awhile come out. As for me, I'm not going to do any of this until I'm sure that it's been discovered by "the science" and the corporate media of course. ;-) *Kidding of course. Being a bit sarcastic here.*
Does this mean that at least A FEW "official" people are realizing that it is ridiculous to test people who do not have symptoms of the disease? I have been saying this everywhere for two years; they have kept testing everyone and counting "cases"...
But what is the real reason?
1. Is it that all those vaccinated players are testing positive (and therefore it's not a good example of how vaccines are "safe and effective")?
2. Too many people testing positive (but otherwise feeling ok) therefore disrupting games (players not available) and schedules?
3. Face value: testing is pointless, if you don't feel well sit a game or two out (like before "Did Not Play -- Flu like symptoms)
Yes. All of the above. And probably a few more reasons related to $$.
LOL, the BEST Gato meme, yet!
'no one wants to play pandemic anymore' except in Canada. Today;s legacy news had an article about a provincial premier catching covid 'when he took his mask off' to speak at a news conference. Our public health officials are so brilliant that they know it happened at that exact moment. I think they're blaming the microphone because everyone else present was vaxxed and boosted including the premier.
And Australia, NZ, Austria, Germany, the Philippines ....
IF YOU ARE SICK YOU ARE SICK AND STAY HOME OTHERWISE.... GAME ON!
If you are not sick, don’t go to the hospital to find out if you are sick.
Or are they just passing the ball around the court? Germany's turn https://www.gettr.com/post/po9vem59dd
Came to comment just for the pic. Dunking cat!
Slam dunk for liberty! 🏀
Speaking of professional athletes, Alphonso Davies, the 21 year-old star for Bayern Munich, is out at least 4 weeks with myocarditis. He had a booster shot in December, tested positive for Covid on January 4, was asymptomatic but had imaging done as part of the club’s return to play protocol. This is of course being blamed on Covid but could easily be a consequence of the booster shot on its own or the booster and infection shortly thereafter. Why the hell are they giving uber-healthy 21 year olds booster shots?
No one, el gato? Seems to me that Joe is clinging to Covid like a piece of flotsam after his boat has capsized.
I think they are more scared about the bad PR of having fully vaccinated individuals catch the virus.
The plebes must continue to suffer. This change applies to the Tier 1 poohbahs.
Another one bites the dust.
Here's more reasons--if you need any--to keep analyzing everything about the jab:

Sanity is slowly returning. May Omicron deliver us all.
Still fear omicron and other variants and constant boosting is going to not bode well in long run
These places I used to enjoy, restaurants, concerts, sports events....
Well, they have such vile nazi feel to them.... keep them. No matter what you do, I'm Irish and have Irish Altzheimers... I forget everything but my resentments
Eating drive thru in my car and going to lakes.... friendly places.
Let's apply the NBA decision to the rest of the country.
Play pandemic. that is funny.
And US to stop hospitals reporting daily covid deaths. Just declare victory and move to the next psyop. "US government will announce the victory of anti-covid by not reporting death numbers."
Best cat meme, only outdone by the one on Christmas eve of the cat looking over Santa's village!
If I don’t feel well, I’ll probably self-isolate, or if urgent, wear a mask to protect others from my cough (what they were originally for).
"No one wants to play pandemic now", except the US Supreme Court (maintaining Health Care Vaccine Mandate), the CDC/NIAID/Fauci/Walensky/MSM with their N95 Masks are the newest safety measure, Biden who promises more testing (hint: testing don't fix stupid, stupid!). I hope you are right, gato and this ends soon, but we must NOT forget, not ever!
v]Note to everyone...be like the NBA!
But with all those tests Biden bought for us to use for free and all those doses of vaccines the government bought, will the powers allow the Covid industry to fade?
I know a lot of doctors and nurses who would love to stop "playing pandemic". Unfortunately, they don't really have that option, because it's still very real and very much affecting them.
There are plenty of people here in NYC who want to keep playing pandemic. Best cosplay they ever took part in.
Try telling that to the Australian Immigration Minister.
Don’t care. Hate the overpaid prima donnas and will never attend another game. They lost me long ago…..
boycott the nba, nhl, nfl.... etc inc mlb!!
Yeah, the Emergency status should end nationwide, too, not just in organized sports....
