Even a fourth shot of a COVID-19 vaccine is “not good enough” to prevent Omicron, according to a preliminary study in Israel. Sheba Hospital last month tested a fourth shot given to more than 270 medical workers, with 154 getting the Pfizer jab and 120 receiving Moderna. The researchers revealed Monday that both groups showed a “slightly higher” increase in antibodies than after the third shot — but still not enough to prevent Omicron, the latest variant responsible for the vast majority of infections around the world. “Despite increased antibody levels, the fourth vaccine only offers a partial defense against...

The cross border vaccine mandate for truckers in/out of Canada is now in effect. The U.S. vaccine mandate takes effect on January 22nd. It will take a few days to see the consequences, but there will be consequences. Keep in mind, any impact is taking place in a supply chain system that is already tenuous and unstable at best. A small disruption that may have been minimally significant against a fully operational supply chain, is more likely to be a much bigger disruption in a supply chain that is already under a severe amount of demand side stress. Somewhere in...

Connolly was a co-author with James Patterson of the 2017 book “Filthy Rich: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein — The Billionaire’s Sex Scandal,” which was turned into a Netflix series. He was also a contributor during his career to magazines including Spy, Vanity Fair, Premiere, US Weekly, Radar and New York, and penned...

In the latest battle between California and scammers out to defraud its benefits system, the state said it froze 345,000 disability insurance claims that it suspects were fraudulently filed using stolen credentials of doctors and other medical providers. The new scam could further strain California’s troubled Employment Development Department, which struggled to deliver timely benefits to jobless workers during the pandemic and paid out some $20 billion to criminals under false unemployment claims. “My initial reaction was, ‘Good grief, one more thing the department has to deal with,’ ” said Assemblyman Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica). EDD said it suspended 27,000...

Dr. Peter McCullough – a renowned cardiologist and highly published medical scientist whose confrontation of the government's COVID-19 policies has drawn more than 40 million views on Joe Rogan's podcast – told WND in a video interview Thursday night the official pandemic narrative that has been fiercely guarded by establishment media and social-media censors is "completely crumbling." That narrative, he said, included "false statements regarding asymptomatic spread, reliance on lockdown and masks – which obviously didn't work – the suppression of early treatment, the mass promotion of vaccines that failed." "And now here we are, almost in complete free fall,"...

VIDEOSteve Bannon's War Room Episode #1568 on January 17, 2022 featured the January 16 DUmmie FUnnies, "Joe Biden vs Jake Tapper on 'Who Counts the Votes'." While that got the attention of your humble correspondent, perhaps even more surprising was the appearance of the DUmmie FUnnies kids at the end which sent me into howls of laughter which was only heightened by Bannon's perplexed but amused reaction to the kids (niece and nephew). That was the icing on the cake for a regular viewer of the War Room such as myself so I did a bit of a Zapruder film...

Four hours after having the injection Harman developed three lumps on her head, “2 pea size and 1 grape size.” So, later that day Harman phoned the NHS 111 helpline. She described what happened in a Facebook post.On Saturday evening Harman received...

It comes as Akram's brother also raised concerns as to how the gunman managed to get a US visa despite having a criminal record. He was not on US "no-fly" lists despite the oddball's clear links to Islamic extremism dating back at least 20 years. It also emerged that he was barred from entering Blackburn Magistrates’ Court for repeatedly threatening and abusing the court staff as long ago as 2001. Deputy justice clerk Peter Wells slammed Akram as a "menace" at the time... After issuing...

My post on Friday highlighted the work of Ken Gregory, who has attempted to quantify the costs of fully electrifying the U.S. energy system using as sources only wind, solar, and batteries. My post got circulated among my excellent colleagues in the CO2 Coalition, two of whom then provided me with links to their own work on closely-related subjects. The two pieces are: (1) “How Many km2 of Solar Panels in Spain and how much battery backup would it take to power Germany,” by Lars Schernikau and William Smith, posted January 30, 2021 (revised April 23, 2021) at SSRN; and...
