If/When Biden does die in office, I think it'll be because his brain is leaking out of his ears

He died of that in the late '70s.

Interesting thread discussing the possibility that omicron is not a naturally occurring variant. Potentially a live attenuated vaccine released in the wild? Maybe some biohacker undoing what our WEF friends were attempting?

Omicron is Not Normal

Everything suggests this variant was leaked from a laboratory engaged in gain-of-function research.

Shortly after it was sequenced, there was someone on /pol/ larping that he was part of a biohacker group that engineered and released Omicron to make COVID into just another cold and vaccinate the population that way. I'm leaning toward that explanation.

I think we need a 2nd booster since the 1st booster clearly isn’t doing the job. We should start with the White House staff and resident Biden.

 

[Josterman]

Speak against mandates while unvaxxed, and they call you an anti-vaxxer.
Speak against mandates while vaccinated, and they call you a hypocrite.


"When do we report anecdotes in the news?"

Every time a healthy young person becomes hospitalized or dies with COVID, dipshit.

Mr Harrington is part of the problem aka a hypocrite

Lol how tall is he? I wonder if Ethan Ralph is taller than this midget?

possibly the same height as him and by the hair he looks like he is in fifties or sixties
look at Bill Palmer trying to cope

Lots of action in the US court system today.

US CoVax Legal News -- Kavanaugh's Inbox Explodes Edition

The reaction to the Sixth Circuit reinstating the OSHA private employer mandate on Friday just keeps growing. We are now up to 12 petitions requesting an emergency stay of this mandate. They're coming in faster than the legal news outlets can track them. (If you want to spectate this, you can stop by the docket search HERE and punch in "Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration" for your search string.)

Of particular note might be one of the most recent ones, #21A258. It was filed by the Republican National Committee. Yes, the RNC has officially joined the fight. It's also a well-written brief that does a good job pulling together both the history and the arguments at play in this case, and specifically targets Stranch's tortured conclusions in Friday's opinion. I recommend giving it a read if you get the time. It also gets a little sassy at points, the attorney who wrote it clearly enjoyed his work. Or you can open the spoiler and take an abbreviated walk through some of the key points with a little commentary. (It's still shorter than reading the entire 50 page brief.)

Spoiler: Legal Sperganalysis

The panel majority attempts to salvage an “emergency” from the record. Stay Op. at 19-20. But that attempt fails because both “the virus” itself and the “tools to address the virus” are more than six months old, id. at 19, placing both outside the statutory window. It is also belied by the Administration’s foot-dragging in issuing the Mandate, the Government’s delayed response to the Fifth Circuit’s stay, and the panel’s decision to wait nearly a month to dissolve the stay. It is simply not credible to claim an “emergency” less than three weeks before the Mandate is scheduled to become effective and a week before the holidays given the timeline of how this unfolded. And the panel’s suggestion that “the Omicron variant” might be more recent, id. at 20 n.2, is inadequate because it was not relied upon by OSHA. See SEC v. Chenery Corp., 318 U.S. 80, 95 (1943) (“an administrative order cannot be upheld unless the grounds upon which the agency acted in exercising its powers were those upon which its action can be sustained”). In any event, the panel’s consideration of the Omicron variant is unsupported by any evidence in the record, let alone “substantial evidence.”

A great summary of all the ways in which Biden and OSHA dragged their feet through this entire process. And it also points out Omicron can't be a justification for the ETS -- you don't get to retroactively say something was part of the reasoning for an order if that thing didn't exist at the time. No time-travelling rationales allowed!

Even if the OSH Act were ambiguous, the scope of the Mandate would counsel against OSHA’s interpretation. Courts require “Congress to speak clearly when authorizing an agency to exercise powers of ‘vast economic and political significance.’” Ala. Ass’n of Realtors, 141 S. Ct. at 2489. “When an agency claims to discover in a long-extant statute an unheralded power to regulate ‘a significant portion of the American economy,’ [courts] typically greet its announcement with a measure of skepticism.” Util. Air Reg. Grp. v. EPA, 573 U.S. 302, 324 (2014)

Grants of massive power are nearly always obvious if they're legitimately intended by a statute. Someone popping up claiming to have found the legal equivalent of King Tut's mummy in their back yard is 99.9% likely fake and gay.

OSHA claims the Mandate is “an exercise of Congress’s Commerce Clause authority.” Pmbl.-61505; see Stay Op. at 32. But this Court has said the authority to compel vaccination stems from “the police power,” Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197U.S. 11, 25 (1905), that is, from the “general power of governing, possessed by the States but not by the Federal Government,” NFIB v. Sebelius, 567 U.S. 519, 536 (2012) (Roberts, C.J.). That Congress itself has never attempted to enact a compulsory vaccination requirement is a “telling indication of a severe constitutional problem” with OSHA’s expansive reading of the Commerce Clause.

An extremely concise explanation for why Jacobson isn't a talisman that grants infinite power to compel vaccinations to the government. This case only supports the states, not the feds. Feds are trying to use a magic item that their class can't equip.

Equally problematic is OSHA’s attempt to “displace state law” absent exceedingly clear “congressionally delegated authority.” La. Pub. Serv. Comm’n v. FCC, 476 U.S. 355, 357 (1986). Congress has not instructed OSHA to address vaccination, and this Court “require Congress to enact exceedingly clear language if it wishes to significantly alter the balance between federal and state power.” Ala. Ass’n of Realtors, 141 S. Ct. at 2489. The irony in OSHA’s incursion on the States’ police power is especially rich because OSHA hailed its overreach to the Sixth Circuit as a victory for “employers’ choice” ensuring “that employers (of all sizes) can run their businesses as they see fit.” OSHA Br. 49; see also id. at 50 (“employers [should] choose the best protection for their own workplaces during the pendency of this case”). If that were really so, then the hundreds of employers
involved in this litigation are wasting their time. “Another such victory and [employers] [are] undone.’” Beauharnais v. Illinois

Congress didn't say shit about vaccination to OSHA. Also lawyer sass.

OSHA’s sweeping claim of authority also violates the non-delegation doctrine. Under the agency’s construction of the OSH Act, there is nothing that constrains its jurisdiction to the workplace or its emergency authority to new threats. It is hard to see what measures would be prohibited if, as OSHA claims, it can use its emergency authority to regulate long-extant hazards through any means that can be enforced through an employer. Could OSHA impose a “broccoli mandate” designed to keep workers healthy by directing all employers with more than 100 employees “to buy one crown of broccoli per year”?

If you accept OSHA's argument before the Sixth Circuit, they can order anything they like so long as they use an employer as a middleman puppet. Also, broccoli mandate. I didn't expect reading this brief to make me hungry.

With respect to workplace transmission, the panel majority credited OSHA’s supposedly “extensive” administrative record. Stay Op. at 18. But the operative discussion in the preamble is just five pages. Pmbl.-61411-15. What is more, those materials have been unlawfully “cherry-pick[ed]” to support the preordained vaccination decision.

The deconstruction of the "grave danger" and OSHA's evidence to support its existence is spicy. Too long to cover all of here, but the brief systematically points out problem after problem with the data and its interpretation. Starts on page 25 of the attached PDF for those who are especially interested in that point. Short summary of this section is OSHA deliberately cherry-picked outdated, non peer-reviewed garbage data to inflate the apparent threat, and when even that didn't quite get them the big bad wolf they wanted to cry about, wilfully misinterpreted it in the worst possible light. Also calls out Stranch for being a little bitch and letting them get away with such glaringly bad data -- sometimes it is the court's duty to scrutinize and second-guess data and facts, and not just stick to quibbling about purely legal technicalities. (Asbestos Info. Ass’n, 727 F.2d at 421; see Dry Color, 486 F.2d at 105)

OSHA contends “voluntary self-regulation” will not work. Pmbl.-61445. That argument is undermined by OSHA’s own analysis, which acknowledges “most employers already have some type of vaccination policy” and that “more than 60 percent of surveyed employers requir[e] vaccinations for some or all employees.” Pmbl.-61448. Those findings, central to OSHA’s feasibility analysis, are incompatible with OSHA’s claim that there is a “lack of widespread compliance with existing voluntary guidance.”

Even under the most generous interpretation of "necessity", the mandate isn't needed. Also:

Nor does the supposed “imbalance in state and local regulation” provide support. Pmbl.-61445. Many “northern states” enjoy high vaccination rates but "are currently experiencing increases in their rate of new cases.” Pmbl.-61431. Meanwhile, the sources OSHA incorporated into the administrative record, Pmbl.-61431, confirm that “[c]ases [have] receded in the Southern regions.”

Muh "pandemic of the unvaccinated" is bullshit, and state level case rates show a one size fits all solution doesn't work and isn't appropriate.

President Biden took office assuring the public that the Federal Government would not compel anyone to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Joe Biden: Covid Vaccination in US Will Not Be Mandatory, BBC (Dec. 5, 2020), https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55193939. That assurance comported with 230 years of constitutional history in which the Federal Government had never claimed authority to order compulsory vaccination. It also made room for those Americans, including then-Senator Harris, who were not eager to be vaccinated. October 07, 2020 Vice Presidential Debate Tr., Comm’n on Presidential Debates (Oct. 7, 2020), https://bit.ly/3pyp5UG (“HARRIS:...if Donald Trump tells us that we
should take [the vaccine], I’m not taking it.”). The promise was short lived. Faced with declining poll numbers and apparently dissatisfied with the personal medical choices of tens-of-millions of Americans, the President went before the Nation to declare that “the unvaccinated” were not “doing the right thing” and that their “refusal has cost all of us.” Remarks
on the COVID-19 Response and National Vaccination Efforts, 2021 Daily Comp. Pres. Docs. 725, at 1-3 (Sept. 9, 2021) (“Presidential Remarks”). The President announced that he would “combat those blocking public health” by directing OSHA to issue “an emergency rule” that would “require more Americans to be vaccinated.”

There is no merit to OSHA’s denial. As explained above, the supposed “exemption” cudgels submission, which “OSHA consciously designed . . . to be less palatable to employers and employees.” Stay Op. at 40 (Larsen, J., dissenting). Furthermore, the President and his Administration have been unequivocal that the Mandate will “require more Americans to be vaccinated.” Presidential Remarks, 2021 Daily Comp. Pres. Docs. 725, at 2; see also, e.g., ‘This Week’ Tr.: Dr. Vivek Murthy, ABC News (Nov. 7, 2021), https://abcn.ws/3095aTu. Americans know this, and the Court need not “exhibit a naiveté from which ordinary citizens are free.” Dept. of Com. v. New York, 139 S. Ct. 2551, 2575 (2019) (citation omitted).

Biden's own yap-flapping gives away the ETS is purely politically-motivated, not fact-driven (which means the ETS is arbitrary, from a legal perspective, which is absolutely haram). Also, don't piss on the court's leg and say it's raining.

The brief wraps up with some discussion about probable harm from not granting a stay, skipping that because it's pretty much a rehash of obvious shit already discussed before.

The Biden admin has until 4PM on 12/30 to respond to all this. (Archive) Odds of us seeing a resolution from the Supreme Court before New Year's aren't great, but we could always be surprised -- with the early January enforcement deadline coming up fast, there is some motivation for everyone involved to move their asses.

White House notifies public after Biden gets on plane with COVID-infected staffer

President Joe Biden came into close contact on Air Force One with a staff member who tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced Monday.

www.washingtonexaminer.com

President Joe Biden came into close contact on Air Force One with a staff member who tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced Monday.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the 79-year-old Biden, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, has so far tested negative after coming into contact with the staffer on Friday.

"On Monday morning, a mid-level staff member, who does not regularly have contact with the President, received a positive result for a COVID-19 test," Psaki said. "Three days earlier, on Friday, that staff member had spent approximately 30 minutes in proximity to the President on Air Force One, on the way from Orange, South Carolina to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."

The staff member is fully vaccinated and boosted, Psaki said, adding that this person "tested negative prior to boarding Air Force One, as is required for everyone traveling with the President. This staff member did not begin to experience symptoms until Sunday, and was tested on Monday."

CAPITOL BREAKTHROUGH: THREE VACCINATED DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

As for Biden, Psaki said, he is tested on a regular basis, and as part of that process, he "received an antigen test Sunday, and tested negative. This morning, after being notified of the staffer’s positive test, the President received a PCR test and tested negative. He will be tested again on Wednesday."

The criteria for what is considered “close contact” is determined by the White House Medical Unit, in line with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Psaki said.

"As CDC guidance does not require fully vaccinated people to quarantine after an exposure, the President will continue with his daily schedule," she added.

In her statement, Psaki stressed that the White House is making good on a promise to keep the public informed.

"As we stated last summer, we believe it is in the public’s interest to know if any of the four principals (President, Vice President, First Lady, and Second Gentleman) are considered to have been in close contact with a White House official who subsequently tests positive for COVID-19 shortly after that contact," she said.

Would this be deadly for the vaxxed or unvaxxed? And when are we going to stop meddling with genetic shit and go with safer alternatives like therapeutics? We need to hang these Frankenstein motherfuckers trying to play God at the risk of all of us before their Ebola vaccines or something as horrific gets released.

Based on that dude's prediction, both. It will eventually mutate back to the worst, deadliest form that that we have no immunity to

Interesting. This is actually one of the theories floating around now, that Omicron was intentionally released as as self-spreading vaccine. I haven't seen any of the non-pozzed virologists/scientists that I follow say as much, but everyone still seems very suspicious of Omicron as some sort of lab leak.

One thing that warms my black heart is the fact, that many Kiwis in this thread have a great likelihood of seeing Anthony Fauci demise. The guy is 80, there is a great chance he will croak within 10 years. Or at least get so old that he will no longer appear on TV. The same goes for other insufferable dullards that we have to bear now. I know he is only a pharma pawn, and easily replaceable. However, his infamous career is going to end, and that's sweet...

Given Kamala's track record of. . . Oration, it makes me wonder if she's caught the WuFlu yet but kept it secret. This is assuming the virus can be transmitted through ejaculation. Only time will tell!

I don't think Americans were totally slim before SJWs. I think it is a loooong process and it just shifted the Overfat window. I'm 175 so ... according to google 5-9 on american and around 61 to 76 for american values.
So I was around 9 kilos over the ideal. Now I'm around 85 so I think 170 pounds. So I would need to loose even at best around 20 pounds. You can write this off as an anorexia fetish made by soviet times and than reinforced by western magazines.

I can't exercise due to a spine injury,

What kind of spine injury? I had a spine injury too and they dealt with that via physio aka exercise and other stuff.

or I wouldn't be fat at all. At least I got lucky, I only had to spend half a year out of the workforce. A kid in school got it, and he was off for a week every 2 months. And he was skinny as fuck. The argument could be made that I could starve out a nice diet, but than my work performance would also plummet which would be... not good at all, since I would be jewed out of my pay.

This is a slim girl:

This is too slim, taken from anorexia search:

When your arms start to assume that cartoon bone shape with the joints it is considered too slim.



Japan and Israel are propably the two countries you can count on not to shoah their ethnic populations. They are also smart and efficient enough to make the app not do a shamefur dispray and crash on day 1, which I would fully expect from a western one.

That "slim" girl you can see her pelvis. You need fat over that. Like you need fat to protect your organs. A gunt is bad it means your liver sucks or maybe water retention but having no fat over your abdomen is bad too.

Why is the media making a big deal about vaccinated people getting COVID? You can still get and carry something your are vaccinated against. But you won't get sick from it. That's how vaccines work.

 

[HTTP Error 404]

Wouldn't a "self-spreading" vaccine just be a virus?

An intentionally gimped version of the virus set loose to spread but give people some semblance of immunity is far, FAR closer to a "vaccine" than the experimental, untested, mRNA gene therapy that they forced upon the public.

It would also be, I think, a crime against humanity and would never be considered by any ethical scientist or bioengineer, ever... but we're at the point that they're starting to talk about chipping people, jailing people forever for refusing, and subscription based immune system replacements.

Ethics is relative. Relatively speaking, if you could do something like that in a lab and let it out into the wild, not only giving the world herd immunity but also proving why the mRNA guys were so utterly utterly wrong, well... Maybe that's less unethical than not doing it?

COVID has allegedly been around for 2 years (I say "allegedly" because I'm at the point where I doubt that this virus actually exists, since these faggots have been lying to our faces about it since day 1). I'm pretty sure everyone on this planet has caught this virus, or a variant of it, at least once, so releasing a weaker version of it seems pointless. The original WuFlu already killed the weakest of the weak, the worst of it is over.

I'm pretty sure everyone on this planet has caught this virus, or a variant of it, at least once, so releasing a weaker version of it seems pointless. The original WuFlu already killed the weakest of the weak, the worst of it is over.

I'm leaning towards an accidental leak of the virus, which quickly mutated into a less lethal form since it's easy to catch. The rush towards a barely tested MRNA vaccine and lockdowns flies in the face of everything we know about diseases and their control. Take the 1918 Spanish flu; how did it end? It didn't. It killed off the weak and susceptible then mutated into the seasonal flu. People simply decided to live their lives again after the end of WWI. Some people didn't want to let go and invented a new epidemic, rammed Prohibition through. It would take more deaths, misery and another World War for life to get back to some normalcy.
