the CDC and leftist politicians do not seem to want to know if the prophylactics work.

Oh, there's a paper from the 80's the NIH has that Fauci had access to containing a study of Quinine based treatments against SARS-1, and the astounding mitigation of the disease. The way it was described as a 'family' of illnesses, it seemed more than highly probable they would work against another CoVID member of the family. FR posted within last couple of weeks.

Glaciers have been retreating since at least the late,1870s when John Muir went to Glacier Bay and found maps from 1700s inaccurate due to the retreat. He later went back with Avril Harriman on. Tour and found they had continued receding since he had seen them last. Yet now it’s all due to AGW…

“ This was in 1879, and Muir was a little-known conservationist on his first trip to Alaska, years away from founding the Sierra Club. Guided by four Tlingit Indians in a dugout cedar canoe, he pursued reports he’d heard about a bay with a massive “ice-mountain” at its head. Muir was working with nautical charts assembled by British explorers in the late 1700s, which proved to be wildly inaccurate. They showed a massive, impenetrable wall of glacial ice where the entrance to Glacier Bay is today. By the time Muir arrived, that wall—actually an enormous glacier—had pulled back more than 40 miles, leaving behind a thousand-foot-deep bay. Russell Island marked the farthest reach of his journey, for it was embedded in 200 feet of solid ice, a pebble crushed beneath the leading edge of a glacier that flowed back up beyond the horizon into Canada.

For the next 20 years, Muir returned repeatedly to Glacier Bay and its ever-changing landscape. He constructed a stone cabin at the foot of the majestic Muir Glacier, named in his honor, which due to Muir’s popular newspaper travelogues quickly became Alaska’s top tourist attraction. On his seventh and final visit, in 1899, Muir estimated that the ice wall had retreated four miles. Russell Island was surrounded by open water. Today that ice is 65 miles back from where it was shortly before those first British explorers arrived”

Exactly, we’re still coming out of the last Little Ice Age. But the people swallow this crap up.

Interesting that they required vaccines for the passengers but not the crew. And goes to show that the “vaccine” does not create immunity and is mostly worthless as a preventive course of action for the CCP flu. It would have been more interesting if the entire crew were vaccinated. Then what would they do?

Probably blame it on those unvaccinated deplorables that the vaccinated cruise ship passengers came in contact with , when the passengers went ashore in one of the ports.

Believe me there will be answers to keep the "get a vaccination crusade" narrative going. -Tom

No kidding.
If somebody got symptoms, they should have treated it like a cold unless the person needed a hospital.
Do cruise ships halt a cruise if there’s a cold or flu going around?

Take a small ship. See AmaWaterways in Europe. Only about 160 ppl. First class service. We saw many wonderful countries (Hungary, Czeck Repub, Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia, German river towns, etc.). First time? Make it AmaWaterways. Your personal driver picks you up at the airport in your personal Mercedes. ;-)

All of the passengers were required to be fully vaccinated to sail. Many, but all, of the crew were fully vaccinated.
Hmmmm.....so much for THAT requirement.

Sounds like a union problem is in the making.-Tom

Excerpt from The Maritime Executive:
Separately, American Cruise Lines was forced to cancel a scheduled cruise trip out of Juneau, Alaska after three people aboard the vessel American Constellation tested positive for COVID-19. Two of the individuals were fully-vaccinated passengers, and the third was an unvaccinated crewmember.
American Cruise Lines does not require vaccination as a condition of employment, the line told media, though most of its crewmembers are vaccinated.

The test gives 90% false positives. Much damage has been done in the name of the test.

The only reason I would take one is that we can’t cruise without it. If I took one right now, it would be J&J, but I would prefer Novavax when it is available.

WE are not going to get off easily by taking the ONE shot J&J.

The Establishment wants us to take the TWO dose shots. - Tom
