Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

And a twisting irony would be Joe Rogan thanking them for the free publicity they gived to him.

any kind of publicity would help him give him the numbers he needs they just shot themselves in the foot and committed sepeku over trying to deplatform him. to quote star ship troopers it’s afraid

 

[Great Monkey King]

Probably not, Kane is the only example of "institutional racism" in sports. His ex-wife accused him of a bunch of stuff to try to get custody, when that failed and he won custody she started a Go Fund Me which was almost literally called "Help Anna Kane receive child support" to pay to go back to family court, the media simps for her. He got a 10 game suspension for abuse of official after the ref randomly just grabs him and shoves him to the ice and he assumed it was a player trying to fight him.

I missed the thing about the ref but you still have to admit that Kane is a dumpster fire of a human being (and his ex is completely batshit) . He probably was in deep shit as soon as his gambling debts came up and the Sharks were dragged into that mess. The NHL does not like players that stand out off the ice. Maybe I'm naive but I don't think their problem with Kane was race-related, it's that he won't stop causing problems that give them negative media attention.

I would be curious to know how they caught him re: the fake vaccination record - were they really out to get him or was he just too loud about it? Because I don't want to believe that players are such pussies that they all bowed down, but Bertuzzi was apparently told by a member of an opposing team to "go get vaccinated" during a game so who knows, maybe they really are all little bitches.

I think if he played in the NFL or NBA, he would be one of the least controversial players. They probably were out to get him. I don't think it's so much the players as the refs and media, there's a couple of players who are pussies but I've known quite a few and most are the type to oppose it or have a fake card.

They're confusing anti-mandate sentiment with anti-vaccination sentiment. How many times do ordinary people who object to these measures have to scream it from the rooftops that the vaccines aren't the main issue?!

Honestly, the vaccine's efficacy is kind of an afterthought most of the time. It's the mandates themselves that are egregious.

Interesting strategy, let's see if this pays off.

 

[The Spoony One X]

The Onion is now obsolete. We don't need satire anymore. Reality has become a twisted parody of itself.

God, I'm so glad I never went to college. Imagine actually sitting around listening to balding, whiny hooks blabber on about historical genocides. I'd want to eat a fucking pistol.

I am so fucking sick of this insane mentality the left have had for the past year and a half. COVID is a nothingburger yes but even if it wasn't it's not sentient and it only performs one function. COVID didn't shut down society, it didn't tell you that you had to sit inside your house binging on fast food. It wasn't an act of god either, god didn't come down and tell you that you had to wear a mask and take endless shots of Mrna. It was a group of human beings that made these decisions.

So when these Covidians go on about how the world is going to hell and everything is bad it would be nice if they would stop blaming COVID when COVID is not responsible for any of the fucking problems we are facing in the world right now. COVID didn't stop the shipment of toilet paper getting to the supermarket, that was a decision made by the people in power, doesn't matter if you think it was necessary or not. Being part of this species is so fucking tiresome sometimes it really is.

A funeral officer calls into James O'brien's LBC show to describe - almost to the point of tears - the guilt he felt about turning people away from funerals to comply with social distancing, and how stupid this makes him feel when it turns out the government don't even follow their own rules. (For those not in the UK, this is the subject of an ongoing scandal, with the potential to oust the current prime minister.)

View attachment 2887391

O'Brien, being the compliance shill that he is, asks "Why? Why do you feel like an idiot?" And although it's never spoken out loud in the 2-minute clip they posted on Twitter, an awful lot of people in the replies prepared some variation of He's got nothing to feel bad about. He was just following orders.

Of course, they'll never actually question the morality of those orders, no matter how inhumane the result. But they reject the morality of the people giving them, and acknowledge the guilt of the person who unquestioningly followed them, such that a Nuremberg defence becomes necessary.

It was only a few years ago that it was discovered that a German that worked in a concentration camp was living in the UK, and even though he was very old and not all that with it they still threw him in prison "for life". So how come he wasn't just following orders?

Courts were pretty quiet today, everyone's probably still digesting the USSC's rulings on OSHA ETS and CMS. But there was one arena that was busy -- the military.

USA CoVax Mandate Legal News Roundup -- Crayons And Comfy Chairs Edition

A reservist with the Air Force is suing over the military servicemen mandate. (Archive) There's a Scribd embed in the article for the lawsuit filing if you want to read it.

A U.S. Air Force officer assigned to Robins Air Force Base south of Macon is suing in federal court to block the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates, citing her sincerely held Christian beliefs.

The officer, who is not identified by name or rank in the lawsuit, says the military’s vaccine requirement violates her First Amendment right to freely exercise her religion. Filed this month, the 31-page suit names Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall III and Air Force Surgeon General Robert Miller as defendants.

Through her attorney, the officer declined an interview request from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She has asked the court for permission to sue anonymously, alleging media outlets and President Joe Biden have “demonized” service members who have declined to be vaccinated. She also told the court she is concerned about her safety. She added she does not oppose all vaccines, some of which are required by the military.

She appealed the Air Force’s rejection of her request for a religious exemption. And the Air Force surgeon general rejected that appeal, saying her job requires intermittent-to-frequent contact with others and that not getting vaccinated “would have a real adverse impact on military readiness and public health and safety.”

As a bonus, this article includes some interesting stats on Le Coeuf and the military.

As of Wednesday, 5,760 service members, dependents, military contractors and Defense Department civilian employees have been hospitalized for COVID-19 and 649 have died from the disease, Pentagon figures show. Among them was a contractor affiliated with Robins who died in April 2020 from suspected medical complications related to COVID-19. Vaccinated and boosted against the disease, Austin confirmed this month he tested positive for COVID-19 and was quarantining at home.

Meanwhile, in the Marines, two jarheads found the golden crayons in their Crayola packs and received the first-ever military exemptions granted for the covid vaccines. (Archive)

The Marine Corps granted two religious exemptions to the military's Covid-19 vaccine mandate, making it the first and only military branch to grant religious exceptions since the requirement went into effect in August.
In its weekly Covid-19 update, the Marine Corps said it had received 3,350 requests for religious exemptions and had processed 3,212 of them. But for the first time, the Marine Corps said it had granted two of the requests. The service offered no additional information about why these specific requests had been granted.

According to the latest updates, the Navy received 3,038 religious exemption requests, though the service does not say how many have been processed. The Army has received 2,128 requests and rejected 162 so far. The Air Force has received 2,387 and rejected 229.

Article also includes a brief update on the status of the Navy SEALS case.

US District Judge Reed O'Connor issued a preliminary order blocking the Navy from taking adverse action against 35 Navy Seals who sued in court because they are seeking exemption from the vaccine requirement for religious reasons. The order blocked the Navy from implementing policies that would allow those religious objectors to be deemed non-deployable or disqualified from Special Operations.
The Pentagon has said it is still considering how it will respond to the decision.

[Larry David's Opera Cape]

Question that's been rattling around in my mind the last couple of days as the myocarditis issue has been a hot topic lately -- do we know if these expected lifespans after a diagnosis are across the board for all cases of myocarditis? That would presumably include lots of extremely unhealthy olds, fats, etc with loads of comborbidities if so. Or are those figures discussing a narrower subset of patients that have myo and that's pretty much it? I don't doubt that this is a nasty condition that no sane person should willingly inflict on themselves, but I also don't want to accidentally end up making the "died WITH covid gets logged as dying OF covid" mistake, but with fucked-up hearts. If anyone could figure out these numbers for "myo but otherwise perfectly healthy" and see if they're still this ugly it would be an excellent point of argument.

We actually have quite a bit of data on myocarditis not just in non-elderly non-deathfat people, but specifically in kids:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6352488/

archive

Let's learn together about the most common presentations of myocarditis in the pediatric population.



Oh what's this at the TOP OF THE LIST? Sudden death.

Studies of sudden infant death syndrome have linked infection with viruses such as enterovirus, adenovirus, parvovirus B19, and Epstein-Barr virus and myocarditis to sudden infant death syndrome victims [25], [26].

Myocarditis accounted for ≈ 9% of sudden deaths in young athletes in the United States in whom a confirmed cardiovascular event was documented.

This paper is from 2019, so, the before-times but very up-to-date.

Let's assume you are one of the lucky ones who is sick enough to let mommy know to take you to the doctor, but not so sick that you just go to bed one night and never wake up. What's the outlook?



Your most optimistic odds are a 7% chance of dying. And that's really stretching the optimism:

Survival rates for paediatric patients with myocarditis can be as high as 93% [81]. However, a large, multi-centre study including all age groups showed that there was significant mortality in neonates and infants (33-45% survival, 23-32% improvement) with better outcomes in children between 1 and 18 years of age (78-80% survival, 46-67% improvement) [18].

And if you survive, your odds of improvement (ie not being a lifelong invalid) are 50/50ish.

A study of 28 children with a diagnosis of myocarditis also observed that only 17 survived to hospital discharge with variable degrees of improved heart function, whereas the remaining 11 patients developed intractable cardiac failure leading to cardiac transplant listing (seven cases) or death (four cases) [45].

So that seems grim...

oh yeah and if you don't die, you have decent odds of needing transplant:

Overall, 1-8% of patients with acute myocarditis eventually go on to transplant [25].

USA friends, please. I'm literally begging you to not go gatherings. *Please.*
Even if you're fully vaccinated, if the US stops reporting deaths I ~promise you~ people will start thinking the pandemic is ending and get EXTREMELY reckless... even more so than they have been.

I love you guys so, so much. Please keep yourselves safe and PLEASE don't go to social gatherings in enclosed spaces.

I understand how painful it is to not see friends in person but don't risk your own or anyone else's life in a moment of weakness and FOMO. Please!

“He had been vehemently opposed to taking the vaccine, so thank you Joe Biden for bringing on a premature death of a life not fully lived,” it adds.

McIntosh is survived by his parents and his son Calvin, who told Alpha News Wednesday that his father was in very good health before passing away in the early morning hours of Jan. 4.

“He had come down to my room around 1:30 a.m. telling me he had difficulties breathing and he had called 911. He was slurring his words and fell on the floor shortly after saying this to me. The ambulance arrived and they took him to our local hospital. Around 3:30 a.m. the doctors notified me that they were taking him to the U of M hospital for emergency care. I arrived at the hospital around 5 a.m. After waiting for about two hours the doctor had called us in. He told us my father’s heart had stopped five times and they were unable to get him back. He suffered from serious blood clots in the heart and lungs and went into cardiac arrest,” Calvin said.

McIntosh worked as a non-destructive testing inspector at Kurt Manufacturing with his father, and he had previously worked in the hospitality industry. According to Calvin, Kurt Manufacturing has contracts with the federal government and was informed it would “lose certain contracts” if it was not “a 100% vaccinated workplace.”

There's going to be so many kids collapsing on the field/court of heart attacks thanks to this "vaccination" program these next few years. Like it's one thing if a top adult athlete collapses on the field, people assume he's working his ass off, might be juicing, and has the money for the medical bills anyway, but it's totally different for a kid to see their friend collapse from a heart attack on the soccer field or a parent to see their kid collapse on the basketball court. It's incredibly psychologically damaging in a unique way, and one way or another, we're going to hear about it these next 10-15 years, possibly more if Fauci's threat is carried out and babies are getting vaxxed.

"May foster anti-vaccine sentiment"

This is some "local Muslims fear backlash over next Truck of Peace" energy.

 

[Mrs. Addams]

The 4th friend’s-grandma since August died randomly this week. Also one friend’s dad just didn’t wake up one day. I’m sure all the grannies were vaccinated. Not sure about the dad.

My parents are bouncing back fine after their second round of unvaxed Covid. They gave it to two college students they had over for dinner, and one tested negative, flew to Japan, re-tested and got a positive.

 

[likeacrackado]

Both of the owners of the business I work have been out sick all week since one of them tested positive. At first they thought it was a false positive, but now they're both sick enough that everyone else is left scrambling to cover the work they do. They're fully vaxed and boosted.

They never pushed the vaccine on any of us and I only know they're vaxxed from casual conversation. They're the only ones here who took precautions like occssionally wearing a mask past the mandates running out, so it's funny that they'd be the only ones to get it in the last half year. We've joked that their immune systems are weak from all the mask wearing and cleaning, and it looks like we were right.
