My unvaxxed second cousin just got hospitalized with double covid pneumonia a couple days ago. Already lost one second cousin on my other side of the family to a miserable death to the delta variant, while her dad who was vaxxed just had the sniffles. And my first cousin was hospitalized for a month near death, but pulled through. All unvaxxed. All my other family over the age of 30 are vaxxed and have been fine. Anecdotally from my family experience you are massively less likely to die or have severe pneumonia with the shots.

I’m very sorry for your loss. That’s been the experience at our small hospital and community in general. Some “young” (50’s) and healthy ppl hv died (unvaxxed). About a month ago we had a 26 y/o female come to the ED with covid. Both lungs full of pneumonia. Couldn’t even maneuver from stretcher to CT table. Put on vent 2 days later. Got her transferred but no idea if she made it. Employee of ours got it while pregnant. They had to take the baby; she was on a vent. Off vent now but it’s still touch and go. Baby is almost a month old and she’s not been able to even hold her child. She may not ever. Also, it’s been pretty amazing to see just how many positives hv had clots in their lungs. I believe if ppl could see some the chest X-rays/CT’s I hv, they MAY be more inclined to take the vaccine. BUT…

All that being said, I still firmly believe it should be one’s choice. I made the choice to take it, not for me, but for loved ones that are compromised.

EDIT: the delta variant was/is much more problematic than the omicron

I heard that was about the same risk of death as a 5-day course of ivermectin. You know -- the super-dangerous Nobel prize winning human medication with antiviral properties that is given to 100s of millions of people around the world every year?


...oh, and costs only a few dollars?

Anybody who thinks this is just another conspiracy should look up the side effects of Remdeziver. It's pretty stunning to think that they make this drug the standard accepted treatment with these known side effects. How can any sane person not question why Remdeziver is the treatment that the NIH and the CDC recommend even for children with these known side effects.

That’s the second time in 24 hours I’ve seen someone on the left use the words white supremacy and eugenics in the same sentence. The other person was in Knoxville. The Dems have their new talking points.

Holy crap, unbelievable. Some people get some power and just can't let it go no matter what. To make things worse, that loser retired in 2018 and only presides over a small amount of cases per year. Unfortunately for the KCS kids and parents this was one if them.

Parents and students in Knox County need to start a full blown revolt against these mandates and refuse to comply to the mask mandates.

He was judged shopped. He is friends with the father of a former teacher in Knox County and is extremely far left, and she’s connected to some of the people in the lawsuit. There’s a reason it was filed there and not in Knox County. He apparently has recently denied a counter suit claiming it was filed incorrectly, but the lawyers for that case insist it was filed correctly and that his “interpretation” of what they are asking the court to do is way off base. Either he didn’t read the filing, or he’s making up his own rules and not following the law.

California Officials Raid three Pre-Schools for failing to make children Aged Two to Four wear masks then 'isolate' and interview the kids about face covering policy

California regulators 'raided' three preschools and individually questioned children as young as two in January after the facilities' owner refused to make preschool students wear facemasks, in violation of the state's school mask mandate.

The move prompted outrage from parents, including one who said they were 'frustrated, angry, aghast and confused.'

Officials with the California Department of Social Services questioned toddlers at three Aspen Leaf Preschool locations in San Diego and pressed them about the schools' Covid protocols, the Voice of San Diego first reported. All students are required to mask when not eating or sleeping per California Department of Public Health rules.

The Community Care Licensing Division of the CDSS later issued Aspen Leaf Preschool a Type A citation, meaning that it poses an 'immediate' risk to child health or safety, because it refused to enforce the state's mask mandate.

What stands out to me on the Remedisivir list are difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, fever and fast heartbeat. How does it make sense to treat a covid patient (keep in mind that difficulty of breathing is one of the deadly symptoms of covid ) with a drug whose known side effects are difficulty of breathing and fever.

These officials should be locked up and never allowed to see the light of day again. Absolutely insane to push this insanity on innocent children.

FBI Investigating ‘Massive Fraud’ In Nonprofits Purportedly Providing Food For Children Using COVID-19 Funds

GettyImages-496655509.jpg

FBI officials said several nonprofits in the Minneapolis area misappropriated tens of millions of dollars of COVID-19 relief that was supposed to help children.

The New York Times reported that “a nonprofit organization called Advance Youth Athletic Development [AYAD] set up what it described as an enormous child care operation in northeast Minneapolis that could prepare 5,000 dinners each weeknight.”

The organization was awarded $3.2 million by the state of Minnesota using funds from federal food programs that were dispersed during the pandemic.

In January, however, the FBI “carried out a series of predawn raids around the region,” The Times reported. The FBI was investigating AYAD and similar groups, including the much larger Feeding Our Future, which was supposed to ensure federal funds provided to the smaller nonprofits were spent properly.

The FBI said in court documents reviewed by The Times that it discovered a “massive fraud scheme” among the groups overseen by Feeding Our Future that charged taxpayers for nonexistent meals and pocketed tens of millions of dollars. From The Times:
​
In affidavits filed in federal court, the Justice Department said it was investigating at least 15 different feeding operations. Together, the F.B.I. said, these groups — all of which were supposed to be overseen by Feeding Our Future — had received more than $65 million from federal food programs during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Almost none of this money was used to feed children,” the government wrote in one filing. “Instead, conspirators misappropriated the money and used it to purchase real estate, cars and other items.”

This is simply the latest in a long list of investigations into the allegedly fraudulent use of COVID-19 funds. As The Daily Wire has documented, many have been charged with using Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds for things other than payroll. Most recently, two New Jersey residents were charged with allegedly obtaining nearly $3.3 million in coronavirus relief funds and using those funds to set up “sham payroll companies” and purchase property in Texas. The two also allegedly used the funds to pay personal expenses.

Senior aide to Minneapolis mayor leaves City Hall amid Food Fraud Allegations.

Mayor Jacob Frey’s office announced Abdi Salah’s departure following a call from Sahan Journal about the top staffer’s connection to the Feeding Our Future investigation. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says that Abdi used child nutrition funds to purchase a south Minneapolis apartment building. Abdi has not been charged in the investigation.

A senior aide to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has left City Hall, following revelations that the staffer allegedly purchased property last year with federal money meant to feed disadvantaged children.

In a federal court filing, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota levels allegations against Abdi Nur Salah, who until today served as Frey’s senior policy aide. The court documents say Abdi co-purchased a south Minneapolis apartment building with money that was “traceable to the fraud and money laundering scheme” involving Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit organization under federal investigation.

Several Meal Distributors under Federal Investigation Have History of Legal Troubles

Three prime contractors are at the heart of criminal conspiracy, according to FBI

The owners of several companies at the center of an FBI fraud investigation involving meals for the poor received tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money despite having a history of criminal and financial problems.

At least two of the individuals who investigators allege benefited from the scheme involving the nonprofit group Feeding Our Future have felony convictions related to theft. One man, at the time he allegedly received more than $600,000 in program funds, was on probation involving a theft from a Burnsville pharmacy. Another was nearly six figures in debt to the IRS.

The problems went undetected in part because neither the state of Minnesota, which awarded the federal money, nor Feeding Our Future, which sponsored the companies, conducted background checks.

Feeding Our Future Director Aimee Bock defended her organization's decision not to look into the backgrounds of her subcontractors.

Feeding Our Future sponsored three prime contractors that investigators maintain played central roles in a massive scheme to defraud the government. Altogether, the FBI claims the owners and business associates of the Safari Restaurant & Event Center, Empire Cuisine & Market and S&S Catering stole at least $45 million.

My boss wants to meet in Europe later this month, but he hasn’t told me where. Will be the first time I’ve seen him in person in 2 years.

I’m hoping he picks a country that doesn’t have any restrictions. You don’t want to tell most Europeans that you haven’t been jabbed.

I have to guess you will be in luck. The “green” countries stayed at 3 or 4 , for months. Up to more than 10 green countries now, and that has happened quickly. I think they will start falling like dominoes on eliminating restrictions.
