RESIST! BUT DO SO STRATEGICALLYTranscript of Riccardo Bosi's warning ["No consent. No consent. No consent"]I saw a flyer urging Americans (e.g., police, fire, first responders, medical staff etc.) to walk out on Nov. 3 and, while I support many kinds of walkouts, this one may be a set-up to entrap Americans.Right away, the Biden regime can falsely claim any protest of any kind on Nov. 3 is meant to threaten free and fair elections, election integrity. He can use troops, some of them foreign, to 'protect the election' from walkouts if police stand down.Here's a link to Nov 3...

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker on Monday defended his COVID-19 vaccination mandate for state employees, arguing the “vast, vast majority” of the executive branch’s 40,000-plus workers are on board with the state’s public health message and are protected against the virus. Nearly 1,600 workers could face discipline after missing the Sunday mandate deadline set in place by Baker in August. But the governor said Monday that agency and Human Resources officials would connect with noncompliant workers to find out why they haven’t shown proof of vaccination or filed paperwork seeking an exemption for medical or sincerely-held religious beliefs. “We’ll work through...

Excerpt: SNIPFindingsAt the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. The lack of a meaningful association between percentage population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases is further exemplified, for instance,...
