In Portugal, There Is Virtually No One Left to Vaccinate

Portugal’s health care system was on the verge of collapse. Hospitals in the capital, Lisbon, were overflowing and authorities were asking people to treat themselves at home. In the last week of January, nearly 2,000 people died as the virus spread.

The country’s vaccine program was in a shambles, so the government turned to Vice Adm. Henrique Gouveia e Melo, a former submarine squadron commander, to right the ship.

Eight months later, Portugal is among the world’s leaders in vaccinations, with roughly 86% of its population of 10.3 million fully vaccinated. About 98% of all of those eligible for vaccines — meaning anyone over 12 — have been fully vaccinated, Gouveia e Melo said.

Portugal has a submarine fleet? Or is he talking about some carnival ride?

They just lost Vitamin D sun about a week ago, so the fun should begin in about 3 weeks...

It appears that Portugal is past the Delta hump. As of middle of September they are under 10 deaths a day.

Florida, with twice the population of Portugal had a later Delta hump. They are under 20 deaths a day as of Oct. 1, with about 57% vaccination rate.

They don't. But "submarine commander" sounds a hell of a lot snazzier than "hoagie maker."

The sun doesn’t suddenly disappear at the equinox. Lisbon is situated at 39 degrees north latitude. The “Vitamin D Hypothesis” postulates people north of 34 degrees north latitude suffer Vitamin D deficiency but that hypothesis has been challenged.

So it sounds like Portugal will be another test-bed for the hypothesis that over-vaccination causes the growth of antibody resistant strains:

Actually, they have 2 diesel-electric subs of German design.

These. Are. Not. Vaccines. Actually the headline should read, nobody in Portugal is left with untainted blood. Everything the Democrats and their fellow leftists do is intentional. Now they even equate having no policy and allowing us to be invaded with a ‘new policy’. I saw a video about Mayorkas and his alleged ‘priorities’, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News. This is hijrah, or jihad by immigration. Proving the communists and islamists are working together. The global left want spike proteins in us (at a rate of 42 TRILLION per dose of ‘vaccine’) and it’s up to us to say no. Soon there will be a demand for ‘pure blood’, untainted by ‘vaccine’. Everything scarce becomes valuable.

The good Vitamin D UV rays start bouncing off the atmosphere when the sun's altitude dips below 50 degrees at midday.

See Australia.

The goal is to change us. They knew many would die in the process. See Utopia (2013) from UK or the inferior 2020 Amazon remake.

Thanks for asking - he’s doing well!!

Was in the hospital for 8 days and almost on a vent on Day 2. Out of ICU on Day 6.

First week out he was taking it very easy. He got tired out quickly with walking and stuff. Second week he was taking longer walks (around the block) and doing okay. Just could not take in deep breaths on his inhaler thing they gave him for exercizing.

He went into work for some non-strenuous office work during the end of that second week so that was good for him to earn some money and the place really missed him while he was gone.

And they are going to give him a “break” and won’t force him to get vaccinated at the moment. They are giving him until the new year. (I’m guessing so he’ll be around for the holiday rush.)

He had no plans to get vaccinated before, during or after his bout of Covid. He already lost one job last spring due to not being vaccinated.

He has submitted paperwork for an entirely different line of work (electrician) so hopefully that moves along. A learning/apprenticeship program. He said he’s researched it and many of the small shops don’t require vaccines.

He’s a bright, hard-working guy and will do well in whatever he endeavors to do.

Hmm. With all of the difficulties presented by the vaccine and how we have to endeavor, it reminds me of the speech by that Indian in “The Outlaw Josey Wales”:

Lone Watie : “I wore this frock coat in Washington, before the war. We wore them because we belonged to the five civilized tribes. We dressed ourselves up like Abraham Lincoln. We only got to see the Secretary of the Interior, and he said: “Boy! You boys sure look civilized!” he congratulated us and gave us medals for looking so civilized. We told him about how our land had been stolen and our people were dying. When we finished he shook our hands and said, “endeavor to persevere!” They stood us in a line: John Jumper, Chili McIntosh, Buffalo Hump, Jim Buckmark, and me - I am Lone Watie. They took our pictures. And the newspapers said, “Indians vow to endeavor to persevere.”

“We thought about it a long time — ‘Endeavor to persevere.’ And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.”

Portugese people weren’t dropping like flies due to Covid. Their health system was overwhelmed, which speaks a lot more about their crappy health system than it does about Covid. All of these vaccination programs are designed to protect the hospitals, not the people.

I don’t any specific timeline, I just know the shots are not a vaccine since those never require masks, distancing, or boosters and you can’t get what a real vaccine is for after taking it. We all have actual ones as kids.
