We’re publishing a new addition to our long-running series ‘Around the World in 80 Lockdowns’ today, this one from California. It’s by Clive Pinder, one of the tireless Daily Sceptic moderators who’s been labouring for free for more than a year. Here is an extract:
Today San Francisco feels like a ghost town, highlighting the detritus and misery of a growing homeless population. Businesses are closing not just because people with means are fleeing the city, but because the District Attorney refuses to prosecute any theft of property worth less than $999 or any business that refuses to police the mandatory vaccinations required of customers. (See this article in the Babylon Bee that sums up the absurdity of the situation in San Francisco.)
A visit to see Mickey, Snow White and Goofy at Disneyland is hardly an escape to a magic kingdom. Parades, fireworks and other activities are suspended and while Mickey isn’t wearing a mask, all up-close encounters with him, Minnie, Cinderella and other characters are forbidden.
Vaccinations don’t help either. Despite 61% of Californians being fully vaccinated with many more having antibodies, the mantra of ‘flatten the curve’ has been condemned to the dustbin of broken promises just as it has in the U.K.. In its place California became the first state in the nation to insist school children from five years old and college students are vaccinated. Strangely, in another act of gross hypocrisy, the Governor declined not to mandate vaccines for teachers after the all-powerful unions, who happen to be among his largest donors, objected.

“A new study by Oxford University and the ONS has found that one dose of the Pfizer vaccine reduces Covid infections by 65%“
Relative risk.Pure bollocks.
‘Worth reading in full’? Nope.
But it doesn’t prevent infection and it doesn’t prevent transmission. So it’s not a vaccine. But it might reduce your symptoms if you catch the not especially deadly virus. And you need repeated boosters to ensure you continue to be susceptible to infection or transmission, or else there’s a danger you might catch the virus and develop complete immunity.
It’s an interesting business model.
Coming soon, a car that doesn’t move, a plane that doesn’t fly, and a teapot made of chocolate.

About2 minutes in, the vaccine business
.
“buying up to 1.8 billion doses of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine to last until 2023”
That will be about the same time they complete their clinical trials and we’ll know whether they’re safe or not.
Hmm, we may know whether they are fairly safe for 2 years after injection. And even that requires that we believe the stated ‘results’ of their studies.
Good stuff -make it 1.8 billion doses of the gunk plus 2 that have my name on them. No charge for the latter.
I wonder how quality control holds up in such quantities
Is anyone else’s head completely melted from trying to understand claims such as
“The vaccines were more effective against symptomatic than asymptomatic infections, reducing rates by 72% and 57% respectively, compared with those seen in the unvaccinated population.”
What is the mechanism that reduces the occurrence of an infection with zero symptoms by 57%?
Are we talking about PCR here? I mean what kind of bonkers world am I am now living in?
Do these vaccines somehow bat the Covid particles away from your body? An invisible shield of some kind.
Someone commit me now.
The thing is threefold re. those two junk figures coming out from pharma-dependent academe :
So what.
And?
Sorry I’ve had ‘some’ wine therefore don’t actually give a shit what the eeeeyoouuu do.
