Who ever runs the Palmer Report is a massive weenie.

The weenies will feel insulted to be compared to the Palmer Report.

Meanwhile some parts of the legacy media distance themselves from Creepy Biden.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/et-tu-chuck-todd-savages-biden-over-failing-presidency-liberal-media-cuts-bait

As legacy media continues to distance itself from the Biden administration amid dismal approval ratings (and dismal viewership), MSNBC's Chuck Todd delivered perhaps the harshest indictment of a president his network has spent the last three years breathlessly fluffing.



In light of the press's previously 'complicit' relationship with the Biden White House, Todd's monologue was blistering to say the least.

"For President Biden, the plan was that Covid would be defeated, the economy would fully recover and he would be able to deliver a return to normalcy. But plans have a way of going sideways. A year into Mr. Biden's presidency, unemployment is down and wages are up, but inflation is also up to a 40-year high. Infrastructure and Covid relief bills were passed, but Build Back Better is stuck in neutral. And most important, though vaccines are available and effective, Delta and Omicron have dealt a one-two punch to the economy, the supply chain and that promised return to normalcy...
...And on Thursday the Supreme Court blocked Mr. Biden's "vaccine or test" mandate for large businesses, perhaps taking away the last effective tool in his Covid toolbox. That same day Mr. Biden's last-minute push for voting rights bills was dealt a likely fatal blow. Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema said again what she's been saying for months. She is opposed to changing the filibuster to pass the legislation. So, now what? All of this came just as the president was heading, by the way, to Capitol Hill to lobby fellow Democrats to change the Senate rules. So it was quite the exclamation point on a terrible week."

Watch:

This Sunday morning —

Every new administration enters office with an agenda of optimism.

For President Biden, the plan was that Covid would be defeated, the economy would fully recover and he would deliver a return to normalcy.

Todd's comments are the latest in a slew of leftist media outlets jumping ship on the Biden administration.

By casting his adversaries as enemies, undermining the efficacy of elections, seeking to give the federal gov’t more control over state elections, & pressuring his party to do away with the filibuster, Biden is following in the well-worn path of Trump. https://t.co/HUgHBU3lKE

Even SNL...



And then there's this...

Once again when confronted with the abysmal response to covid (among other things), Psaki tries to be a sarcastic ass rather than show openness to change. She jokes that wanting better is “bunny rabbits and ice cream”.

Thousands of deaths is not a joke.

It's about humiliation and demoralization. Everything you mentioned is being done so that when there looks like a little bit of hope, the government can step all over it. Even if you get that exemption they have to show they can take it away at the drop of a hat, for no reason at all.

They want people to be humiliated and despondent, because then they can do anything.

I have read a 4 chan post that suggested our elites are doing that for a very basic, petty and human reason.

They want us humiliated. Just because they can.

Frankly, I'm gobsmacked they haven't started attacking Spotify's advertisers or payment processor over it in an organized campaign to bring them to heel.

Dont give them fucking ideas...

It’s easy to recognize the propaganda aimed at others. It’s a lot harder to recognize the propaganda aimed at yourself.

A lot of people do feel like they are watching propaganda, but at the same time, they also dont care because it reafirms their world view

https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19843315.covid-scotland-case-rates-lowest-unvaccinated-double-jabbed-elderly-drive-rise-hospital-admissions/

"DOUBLE-JABBED Scots are now more likely to be admitted to hospital with Covid than the unvaccinated amid an increase in elderly people falling ill due to waning immunity.

It comes amid "weird" data showing that case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland."

"Preliminary data for last week - which is age-standardised to adjust for the fact that younger people are more likely than older adults to be unvaccinated - shows a Covid case rate of 11 per 1000 in the unvaccinated group compared to 15 per 1000 for those who had received a booster or third dose, and 25 per 1000 for the double-vaccinated cohort."

"She added that the higher case rates in the double-vaccinated are being driven by infections among over-40s whose immunity is waning, but who have not yet taken up or become eligible for boosters.
She added: "The vaccination status of cases, inpatients and deaths should not be used to assess vaccine effectiveness because of differences in risk, behaviour and testing in the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations."

Absolute peak cope, satire news must be in shambles - how can you even stay viable with actual news like this?

[Larry David's Opera Cape]

Oregon's state OSHA has also dropped the vaccine requirement in light of the SCOTUS decision.

Oregon is one of the only states with a current mask mandate so it's pretty far out there, and they are done with this. They were sneakily plotting a vaccine passport app for March, this may spell doom for that little scheme too.

I have a question for @Drain Todger . In the case that an unvaccinated person needed a blood transfusion in an area where most of the donors are vaccinated, what would the risk be to that person? Similar to getting the shot? Much lower risk? Specifically I am curious if the spike protein can survive irradiation. I know our biggest blood bank locally has moved to only x-ray irradiation. They used to do gamma ray but they dumped their cesium irradiator because the security etc around it was "too expensive."

 

[Kiwi Lime Pie]

I'd like to see Legault actually go through with this. Ignoring the issue of natives and the poor oppressed minorities being the lowest vaccinated groups, depending on implementation this breaks with Canada's public healthcare legislation which is a big no no publicly.

My part of Kiwi Land has had a vaccination rate hovering around 63% ( 5 of 8 ) for the past several months but minorities are barely at 44% (4 of 9). Despite claims that the low number is due to racism, it seems those in charge are willing to give minorities a free pass than encourage/require them to take part in vaccination mandates because it's better optics for the SocJus/IdPol people.

Pregnant women are supposed to be careful eating the wrong kinds of cheese because it might potentially damage the fetus but you're also supposed to take a shot that alters your cycle for months with no good explanation.

I seem to recall pregnant women being told to avoid the vaccines when they first came out only to have the advice flip flop without rhyme, reason, or explanation at some point (several post-vaccine miscarriages notwithstanding).

don't have the figures in front of me, but I remember from listening to the SCOTUS hearing that the majority of medical facilities in the United States, especially in poorer parts of the country, require CMS funding to stay afloat, and breaking away from that will almost certainly shutter them.

Many medical facilities, especially nursing homes and other places with a large elderly population, rely on some combination of Federal and State money to stay afloat. When someone I knew was still in the field, there used to be a number of nursing homes up and down a particular stretch of a main roadway. Today, many of them have either merged, been bought out by large chains that care more about bottom lines than quality care, or outright shut down and left behind vacant blighted buildings.

In my own past, a job I previously had saw the owners and myself getting periodic letters from Medicare that contained the local census tracts with what was deemed to be a health care profession shortage area. In these particular areas, providers who were willing to set up practice there could receive 10% incentive/bonus payment on top of their reimbursements. However, many chose not to because these were often the same areas where thieves would steal equipment or their medicine supplies thus contributing to the shortages.

I would not at all be shocked to hear about nursing home's shutting down because 50% of their staff had to be fired.

With the aforementioned heavy dependence on government funding, I wouldn't be surprised in many presently operate with the minimum required staffing ratios. If things get much worse staffing wise, facilities will either have to move patients elsewhere if they don't close or consolidate.

Does the NHL have a jab mandate?

The NHL doesn't have a mandate but does have separate rules for vaccinated vs unvaccinated players (unvaccinated basically have to continue the bubble lifestyle and they can't play in Canada, etc), and supposedly only Tyler Bertuzzi has not complied. However, Evander Kane got caught (and suspended for 21 games then shunted down the the AHL) for faking a vaccine certificate. Call me crazy but I don't think he's the only one with a fake but that's just speculation on my part.

If I'm recalling correctly, I've found it significant that Bertuzzi has not had COVID during the period at the end of last month where the NHL had to cancel countless games and place many players under whatever it calls its quarantine protocol. I don't say this shit on those who got vaccinated but to raise the point that it's peculiar that Bertuzzi hasn't been sick when those who are vaccinated are getting sick as if they weren't either. Although, I agree with @Great Monkey King that it's possible others are unvaccinated and know how to do a better job at keeping it hush hush, I also agree with someone who a while back pointed out that players are sharing water bottles and resuming other unhygienic behaviors that make it easier for germs to spread like wildfire.

The NCAA dropped a good one. Now I wait for what new narrative the msm will invent.

How many different jabs must one get to be "fully vaccinated" now?

In terms of the sports angle @Super-Chevy454 brought up, my alma mater sent out an e-mail to alumni stating that admission to athletic contests on campus will require spectators to be fully vaccinated. Hand in hand with this and with @ToroidalBoat's question, the e-mail went on to state that fully vaccinated is defined as having the J&J vaccine or two of the other ones but that the definition is subject to change. (TL;DR - the answer to the "How many jabs?" question is that it depends on how far the goalposts get moved).

Still, it's interesting to see the NCAA taking the stance it is. The bigger question is whether it will make any sort of difference, especially at the private member schools that primarily compete in NCAA Division 3 -- more-so those in blue states.

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.

The professor in question has since claimed this was an "Joke's on you, I was only kidding," moment. I'm not buying it because tenured professors, especially those teaching as long as he has, know what they can and can't get away with since most disciplinary actions against long-term tenured professors yield little more than a slap on the wrist at best.

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.

I've had a couple of co-workers opt out of work recently because they were exposed and want to play it safe until they can get a test result. I don't blame them on one hand, but it also sucks. As I told another co-worker, it sucks that someone who sneezes for an innocent reason is now looked at suspiciously as if they're spreading COVID indiscriminately a la Typhoid Mary.

Weren't n95s supposed to be the minimum "good enough" masks right from the start? Back when Our Betters were still saying it was nbd, go hug a chinese and all that, concerned kiwis and channers were calling for big buys on n95 masks or lamenting their unavailability and increasing price.

And when they were saying "cloth masks and disposable masks are fine, as long as we can't see your snout it's no threat," wasn't the initial criticism of that that those masks offered no protection compared with n95?

Am I smoking crack?

You're going too bonkers (yet). I seem to recall the sequence of events being people making a run on N95 masks in early 2020 to the point that people who legitimately needed them for their daily work couldn't find them whereas some healthcare facilities had more than they could use. That's when we got the advice, "It's OK, any cloth covering will work!"

This is yet another reason why normies are getting fed up and taking the path of least resistance whenever they can.

I want these pollsters to find out how far democrats will go to punish the unvaccinated.

I'm curious if these people believe people that cannot be vaccinated for legitimate medical reasons deserve to be cancelled from society over something they can neither help nor control.

One would think they'd be more mad and concerned that an exemption that was granted after the appropriate review was subsequently denied ona whim after public pressure and outcry. Clown world, indeed.

They can't admit they're wrong and that healthy people are living productive lives without the jab. It's extreme anger caused by severe buyer's remorse.

I think it's partly that, sure. Just last week a couple people I know confessed to me they now feel they were conned into getting the jabs and won't be getting any more boosters. But there's more fundamental reasons for the rage, I think, and it's to do with the inchoate anger and anxiety floating around, the hunger for socially acceptable targets to dump this negative energy onto, the cancerous nature of social media, the hyperpoliticization of fucking everything... etc. etc.

This is an interesting year to pick, because 2008 was really where this had its roots. Obama and the "Coalition of the Ascendant" were a cue from the establishment that they were winning, and they began to push the needle way harder on every issue.

You also saw it in Leftist entertainment, where Colbert and Jon Oliver became much more strident. The open area for discourse on the right was collapsed by force using mass media and government policy.

And that was the year after 2007, when it was said the internet went to shit.
