Looks like most folks are sleeping in.
Glad you don’t have to get out in the storm.
We are going to get hit too.
Expecting anywhere from 4-8 inches.
FDA considers major shift in COVID vaccine strategy
Too cold to get out of bed?
Looks like most of the country is in a deep freeze.
Morning, Rusty!
“The public is voting with their arms if you will and said, ‘No. I’m not going to get this. This doesn’t make sense to us,’” says Dr. Gregory Poland, a vaccine researcher at the Mayo Clinic.
Thank goodness people are waking up.
It has become a pandemic of the vaccinated and more are realizing it.
WSJ Shreds Vaccine Makers, Biden Admin Over “Deceptive” Booster Campaign
Wall Street Journal editorial board member Allysia Finley has taken a flamethrower to vaccine makers over their “deceptive” campaign for bivalent Covid boosters, and slams several federal agencies for taking “the unprecedented step of ordering vaccine makers to produce them and recommending them without data supporting their safety or efficacy.”
You might have heard a radio advertisement warning that if you’ve had Covid, you could get it again and experience even worse symptoms. The message, sponsored by the Health and Human Services Department, claims that updated bivalent vaccines will improve your protection.
This is deceptive advertising. But the public-health establishment’s praise for the bivalent shots shouldn’t come as a surprise. -WSJ
Here’s the moneyshot: “The vaccine makers designed their studies to get the results they wanted. Public-health authorities didn’t raise an eyebrow, but why would they? They have a vested interest in promoting the bivalents.”
In June, the FDA ordered vaccine makers to update the boosters against BA.4 and BA.5, and rushed the companies to push them out before clinical data was available. Meanwhile, Biden’s CDC recommended the bivalents for all adults without evidence that they were effective or necessary.
Finley further notes that vaccine makers could have performed small, randomized trials last summer and early fall on the bivalents - with results available by the end of September. But the Biden administration didn’t want to wait (and now we know why).
The CDC published a study in November that estimated the bivalents were only 22% to 43% effective against infection during the BA.5 wave—their peak efficacy. As antibodies waned and new variants took over later in the fall, their protection against infection probably dropped to zero.

Africa Is Starkly Unvaccinated, And Starkly Unvanquished By COVID
Africa as a Whole Is Very Strikingly Unvaccinated, According to Johns Hopkins University, Our World in Data.
One who has faith in the practice of vaccination would have also expected that vaccines carrying the name of the pandemic to have mitigated case counts of the same disease. How then is the overall experience of the African continent to be understood?
Africa was not the only part of the world where reported COVID cases have been low. Prior to vaccination, numerous countries were barely impacted at all by COVID. Let’s zoom out from Africa now to examine events in other countries.
Former US Dept of Justice adviser Gavin de Becker wrote an article on Children’s Health Defense [3] that also appears in a book by Edward Dowd, Cause Unknown; in it he looks at COVID mortality in various nations, primarily in Asia, but also in Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, after COVID began, as well as before and after the launch of their vaccination campaigns. Three of de Becker’s timelines are as follows. De Becker indicates with a syringe pointer the date at which each of the following countries began their COVID vaccine campaigns.
First Domino Falls
The first was a manufacturing technique that wound up being wildly misappropriated as a diagnostic test, despite the prior protests of its inventor, the late Kary Mullis, PhD. The essence of the world’s confusion and fear of COVID stems from the testing itself....
Second Domino Falls
The second factor that fired up the COVID engines, so to speak, at least in the United States, was the financially-incentivized COVID cause of death. Under the US CARES Act, hospitals were compensated more than twice as much money for a COVID case than a flu or pneumonia case, and the most lethal treatments were compensated even further. Many US hospitals made millions of dollars from this shift in diagnosis during treatment and on death certificates.
Other forensic evidence shows lack of a pandemic in 2020. Wall Street seems to need and to have greater reliance on accurate data than governments....
How Africa Defeated COVID so Decisively Without Vaccines
Part of the African continent’s success is no doubt due to a fortunate accident of microbiology, infectious diseases, pharmacology and immunology. It so happens that two of the most effective treatments for COVID, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, are also routine prophylactic weekly medicines throughout equatorial Africa, because they happen to be known for a half-century as the most effective, applicable and safest anti-parasite medications. So the population, particularly through about 31 countries, the tropical middle rectangle roughly, of Africa already were well-equipped prior to COVID events launching in late 2019 to early 2020.
As fortune would have it, the unpatented and relatively inexpensive half-century old drug ivermectin, whose inventors won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015, also has been the most effective medicine against COVID, [15] due in part to its specific effect against RNA transcriptase, as well as its blocking effect on all three parts of the trimeric spike protein, and other mechanisms.
Hydroxychloroquine is also used widely throughout at least equatorial regions of Africa as a prophylactic against parasites, but which fortunately has now been studied extensively and used successfully as both prevention and treatment of COVID disease, and as inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 replication and activity. This is shown in over 380 studies conducted in 55 countries.
Africa led the way and inspires the world. Are the politicians and “public health experts” of the rest of the world humble enough to admit their grotesque errors, even crimes, and to learn from the peoples of the African nations, their experiences and lessons on handling a pandemic?
Or will ethnocentrism or a hostile and racist pride, or the sheer greed stimulated by the lucrative COVIDmania boondoggle, prevent the rest of the world’s willingness to learn from the African experience? Will such provincial and purchased attitudes bury the 21st century’s most important lesson to date?

Border city is on the brink of collapse under ‘unprecedented’ migrant surge that has left hospitals and food banks overloaded as officials say number of people crossing the border is the highest for thirty tears
County Supervisor Jonathan Lines said Yuma cannot support the migrant flow
Yuma County saw a 171% increase in migrant crossings between 2021 and 2022
Yuma is known as the ‘sunniest city on Earth’, but over recent years it has become known as the US’ hotspot for migrant crossings that has stretched its Border Control to the limit.
Facilities along the border are being pushed to breaking point due to the increasing migrant flow, with residents reportedly unable to access the only hospital in the city.
A strain has also been put on the city when it comes to food, with migrants walking across crop fields risking a pillar of the community’s local economy. Yuma is the winter lettuce capital of the US due to its famed all-year-round sun. It produces 93 percent of the country’s lettuce during the winter months.
Local farmer Alex Muller told Fox News: ‘Our fields are monitored and audited and tested for different pathogens. You can’t have people walking through the field.’
A bipartisan delegate from Washington DC, led by Senators Kyrsten Sinema and John Cornyn visited Yuma earlier this month. However, officials complained that they saw a ‘sanitized’ version of the border crisis.
Mr Lines said after the visit, that border crossings had dropped to almost nothing amid tighter activity on the Mexican side, while discarded shoes, medicine bottles and other evidence of illegal crossings had been removed from along the US side.
‘Everything’s been 100% sanitized here as well. Even more so than they’ve ever done before. And we’re actually not even seeing people coming across the border right now,’ he said.
‘It’s interesting because I’ve had several congressional delegations come to Yuma and the unannounced delegations always see the real border challenge, not the publicized ones.’
I saw that lettuce farmer on TV. Much of his crop is destroyed by illegals walking through it.
that looks ominous, care to tell us about it?
They’re determined to KEEP trying to get these dangerous $hots into every arm.
Thankfully, so many more are waking up.
I’m shocked they even “admitted” that, by including the one doc’s comments.
It’s so obvious their nonstop $hot campaign is NOT about protecting citizens.
😡
Thanks for the pings. You’re up and at ‘em, early!
Going to get up to a balmy 60°, here, today. ☀️
Good morning....beautiful pics!
The bread machine does the kneading, fortunately! I’m just wanting fresh flour, to try.
4 - 8” ??? Brrrrrrr!!
Much needed, though, right?
Good morning, Gran!
Going to get to 60° here too. Tomorrow will be cold and wet.
Ha!
Good morning, Jane!
Yes, very much needed so I’m trying really hard not to complain.😁
60° is Spring weather, enjoy!
Jeff Zients to replace Ron Klain as President Biden’s chief of staff: report
Politico, citing three unnamed sources, reported Sunday that Zients, a close Biden confidant who ran the White House’s COVID-19 response, is widely expected to step into the role
https://nypost.com/2023/01/22/jeff-zients-to-replace-ron-klain-as-president-bidens-chief-of-staff/
Just saw Mr. Zients on Newsmax, when he talked about the winter of death caused by the unvaccinated.
I saw that....they’re promoting their Mengelesque puppet, to COS.
Can this freakshow get more creepier?
Wait....don’t answer that.
Heaven, please help us!!
