I believe they mention the Barrington declaration, amongst other things.

Yay. MOAR BOOOOSSSTTIIIEEZZZZZZ!!!

I know it's just for the fucking oldiewonks just now. But we all know, that in a few weeks it'll be extended and they'll be asking everyone to get it, right? Calling it now and all.

COVID budget impasse halts aid to test and treat uninsured

WASHINGTON - With an urgent funding request stuck in Congress, a federal agency says it can no longer cover COVID tests and treatments bills for uninsured people and will stop taking claims at midnight Tuesday.

“The lack of funding for COVID-19 needs is having real consequences," Martin Kramer, a spokesman for the Health Resources and Services Administration, said in a statement. “We have begun an orderly shutdown of the program."

The Uninsured Program is an early casualty of the budget impasse between Congress and the White House over the Biden administration’s request for an additional $22.5 billion for ongoing COVID response. In operation since the Trump administration, the program reimburses hospitals, clinics, doctors and other service providers for COVID care for uninsured people, whose numbers total about 28 million. Kramer said the program will next have to stop accepting claims for vaccination-related costs, after April 5.

Shutting off the spigot of federal money could create access problems for uninsured people, as well as consequences for the rest of society.

“COVID is a highly infectious disease, so we want people who think they might be sick to get tested and treated, not only for their health but for the community as well," said Larry Levitt, a health policy expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “If uninsured people now hesitate to get care because of the cost, we’ll see more cases and greater inequity.”

Levitt said he also worries vaccine providers could dial back their outreach efforts to uninsured people.

Known as HRSA, the agency running the Uninsured Program is a unit of the Department of Health and Human Services. Officials said it receives about 1 million claims a day, and has reimbursed for care for millions of people during the pandemic. The program pays out about $500 million a week in claims, and more than 50,000 service providers have taken advantage of it.

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra told The Associated Press last week that other initiatives could be blunted if the standoff with Congress persists. He singled out “Test to Treat,” a newly launched program through which patients who test positive can quickly get a supply of antiviral medications. They can take those medicines at home, reducing their chances of hospitalization. “If you don’t have the dollars to let it fly, you’re stuck," Becerra said.

COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths are down dramatically across most parts of the country, but there's worry another surge may be on its way. Omicron variant BA.2 is spreading in Europe and Asia, and gaining ground in the U.S. as well. It's more transmissible than the original omicron strain, but does not appear to cause more severe disease. Nonetheless if cases start going up again, hospitals might fill up.

The administration's request for more money got snagged in a push and pull between Republicans and Democrats, House and Senate.

The biggest obstacle is in the evenly divided Senate, where Democrats would need 10 Republican votes to avoid a filibuster and approve the money. But Republican senators say that savings should be found from the trillions that Congress has already provided since the pandemic began two years ago. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tried to find a compromise by agreeing to cuts with GOP leaders, but ran into problems with fellow Democrats.

Unless the money flows, the Biden administration says more Americans will feel the fallout.

A White House fact sheet says the government will not have enough money for boosters, or for vaccines targeting specific variants, to provide them to all Americans. The supply of monoclonal antibody treatments will run out by late May. Additionally, health authorities will be unable to procure enough quantities of certain treatments needed by patients with immune system problems. And sustaining a robust capacity for testing will be again become a challenge, repeating a cycle that has been a source of frustration from the beginning of the pandemic.

Thoughts on this?

Official Government of Canada data is truly terrifying; it suggests the Triple Vaccinated have developed AIDS & are now 5.1x more likely to die of Covid-19 than the Unvaccinated​



I'm not a scientist so I need someone like HHH to read the documents and report back

Personally, I'm not gonna start dooms-purging till someone I actually know dies. There have been a lot of weird aliments lately but nothing concrete.

that would mean revealing my vax status, i'm a bit of a sperg when it comes to privacy, won't even visit the same fast food joint twice, if people anywhere recognizes me i never go to that store ever again.

The paranoid people keep their vaccine cards in their wallets/purses. Invite them over, provide alcohol or drugs, steal purse, photograph card, put back in purse.... nobody will be the wiser.

This pandemic has been really fascinating in terms of how far humans will go for self-preservation.

The research, which was published Monday in Nature, also stands out because the lion’s share of its participants apparently had mild Covid — by far, the most common outcome of coronavirus infections. Most of the brain-related studies in this field have focused on those with moderate to severe Covid.

Gwenaëlle Douaud, an associate professor at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at Oxford and the paper’s lead author, said that the excess loss of brain volume she and her colleagues observed in brain scans of hundreds of British individuals is equivalent to at least one extra year of normal aging.

“It is brain damage, but it is possible that it is reversible,” she said. “But it is still relatively scary because it was in mildly infected people.”

We identified significant longitudinal effects when comparing the two groups, including: (i) greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue-contrast in the orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus, (ii) greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions functionally-connected to the primary olfactory cortex, and (iii) greater reduction in global brain size. The infected participants also showed on average larger cognitive decline between the two timepoints. Importantly, these imaging and cognitive longitudinal effects were still seen after excluding the 15 cases who had been hospitalised. These mainly limbic brain imaging results may be the in vivo hallmarks of a degenerative spread of the disease via olfactory pathways, of neuroinflammatory events, or of the loss of sensory input due to anosmia. Whether this deleterious impact can be partially reversed, or whether these effects will persist in the long term, remains to be investigated with additional follow up.

So does this mean everyone who got the jab and then sick from it is fucked?

Everyone I know who has had it, not just family, but colleagues, their families, friends, etc. They've all been sick in some form or another since having it. From "feeling off", faitigue, getting coof a 2nd/3rd time and it shitcanning them, strokes, myocarditis, myocardial infarctions, diverticulitis (one friend in particular lost a solid six inches of his fucking small gut because of that, it came outta nowhere), appendicitis, through to sudden and unexplained death.

Since I started noticing this I've just written them off, almost and accepted the next few years are going to be shit.

If anyone's familiar with Nick Mullen from Cumtown, he did a 10 min set in NYC where the first half is about the vaccine and the lab leak.

Is he too far gone for the NY crowd or is he going to set the trend for other comedians?

Just a reminder that this study was brought up back a few pages ago, and is based off of very old data on virus types that aren't even circulating anymore. Does it still apply? Remains to be investigated. You need to find me another monkey study with the omicron variant, then ill run around like a chicken with my head cut off.
