MRNA sounded very strange to me. New and improved tech they said. I saw the quotes from the inventor MRNA tech and he said they should NEVER give this to people.
I’m shocked to hear that someone without credentials in molecular biology or immunology thinks something in molecular biology or immunology sounds strange.
I was right. You were wrong. Now fuck the fuck off you soy slurping retard!
Unlike Scott Adams, here is a fairly honest mea culpa from a med school student about the complete failure of the US medical bureaucracy to deal with the science of the chicom crud. We still haven't gotten an honest apology from the bureaucracy (and never will) or the blue state governors and mayors or the MSM. Even today, we are in a US medical bureacracy declared "State of National Emergency" and official recommendations that healthy young people today get the vaxx booster and then do every year.

The vaccine stats are fairly crazy. King County claims 81% of eligible are vaccinated, however when you drill down there are 30+ zip codes that show over 100%. Why is it in their interest to overstate? Because their relative risk models are based on weights of population. Take the unvaxxed % down on the macro and the relative risk at the individual case level goes up for an unvaxxed pure blood.
In this post-modernistic world, truth and objectivity are just mirages based on your identity race. So, we have post modern journalism in which pursuing "objectivity" is just imposing your racial view and the news needs to reflect these views to be reliable - or something. Following is the quick story about Jaime Escalante who taught his LatinX students white math to such a successful degree that his white administrators knew he was cheating and then once it was shown he wasn't then they got rid of him because it was embarrassing to have low income LatinX students learning white math. Then we have Rochelle Gutierrez on the state of Illinois university of payroll to "rehumanize" math and make sure we have LatinX math, Indian math, and black math. Apparently, Asian math is the same as white math so no attention needs to be given. "She also builds upon Indigenous principles and has argued for a new form of mathematics where humans are no long centered. This form of mathematics is referred to as living mathematx." Any student of her's is dead student walking.
Now, the mainstream news media is coping with economic and digital disruption, along with increasing competition from misinformation on cable television and the internet. Meanwhile, American society itself has been in upheaval over discrimination against and abuse of women; persistent racism and white nationalism; police brutality and killings; the treatment of LGBTQ+ people; income inequality and social problems; immigration and the treatment of immigrants; the causes and effects of climate change; voting rights and election inequality; and even the very survival of our democracy. Reporting reliably on all of this has critically challenged newsrooms, calling into question their diversity, values and credibility.
Amid all the profound challenges and changes roiling the American news media today, newsrooms are debating whether traditional objectivity should still be the standard for news reporting. “Objectivity” is defined by most dictionaries as expressing or using facts without distortion by personal beliefs, bias, feelings or prejudice. Journalistic objectivity has been generally understood to mean much the same thing.
But increasingly, reporters, editors and media critics argue that the concept of journalistic objectivity is a distortion of reality. They point out that the standard was dictated over decades by male editors in predominantly White newsrooms and reinforced their own view of the world. They believe that pursuing objectivity can lead to false balance or misleading “bothsidesism” in covering stories about race, the treatment of women, LGBTQ+ rights, income inequality, climate change and many other subjects. And, in today’s diversifying newsrooms, they feel it negates many of their own identities, life experiences and cultural contexts, keeping them from pursuing truth in their work....

MATHEMATX Sometime back around 1990, I was privileged to get to spend some time with Jaime Escalante (d. 2010), the Bolivian-born high school math teacher whose compelling story was made into a feature film, Stand and Deliver.
Escalante had become nationally famous in the 1980s when 18 of his hispanic students from a low-income east Los Angeles neighborhood scored highly on the AP calculus test in 1982. (The next year, 30 more of his students scored high on the AP test.) It was initially thought that these students must have cheated, because this never happens.
No—it really did happen, because Escalante was a gifted math teacher. His view was that every student could master calculus if they were willing to put in the work. That was the key point: He knew that you can’t master calculus in just 50 minutes a day watching a teacher at the blackboard. He motivated his students to come in after school and on Saturdays for extra hands-on work with him. And “hands-on” it was: he’d spend as much time one-on-one with with students as they needed to get beyond a hurdle. And then do it again the next day.
He was unfailingly supportive of every student, especially if they were struggling with the subject. He was never harsh with students, but neither would he accept excuses. Enrollment in his math classes at Garfield High School, and the number of his students taking the AP test quickly grew to over 500.
You know what happened next: jealous and resentful fellow teachers hounded him out of Garfield High...
To be sure, Escalante is a rare teacher. He was absolutely riveting in person. And while that kind of genius can’t be easily acquired, it can be studied and emulated as an example of human excellence and effective pedagogy. I suspect the number of education schools that teach a case study about Escalante (or Marva Collins, who I also met once) is precisely zero.
Instead of Escalante’s challenge, students at the University of Illinois they will get this:

If that's not a blatant call for genocide, I don't know what is.
In breaking news, masks don't work, the CDC doesn't really care. Walk into Fred Meyers and everyone in line at the pharmacy has to wear a mask pursuant to CDC guidance. Now, you can pick up your prescription, then take off your mask and go buy groceries and wait in the check out line because a grocery check out line is completely different than standing in line to get a prescription. Sort of like putting on a mask and walking to your table in a restaurant and then it was okay to take off your mask. Of course, this makes sense to mello and the dazzler and the people they vote for. Anyway, the pandemic ends on May 11th by imperial decree from the dementia patient who knows everything about the chicom crud and epidemiology.
Massive "Gold Standard" Meta-Study on Masks Finds That Masking Makes "Little to No Difference" in Covid Protection —Ace A meta-study is a study that doesn't create its own data set, but instead takes the data sets of already-published studies and re-analyzes that data, combining it into one big pool of information.

'Little to no difference': Massive mask meta-study undermines remaining COVID mandates
Researchers in "gold standard" collaboration struggle to find benefit from surgical over no masks, or N95 respirators over surgical. Findings buoy warnings by PPE expert that even "perfect rate of capture" by N95s can't stop COVID transmission.
An international research collaboration that reviewed several dozen rigorous studies of "physical interventions" against influenza and COVID-19 through last year failed to find even a modest effect on infection or illness rates from masks of all qualities.
Published in the peer-reviewed Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, run by the British evidence-based medicine charity Cochrane, the study raises new doubts about ongoing mask mandates and public health recommendations worldwide.
The CDC is still recommending masking in areas with "high" transmission levels -- fewer than 4% of U.S. counties -- as well as indoor masking to protect high-risk contacts in "medium" counties (27%).
Masks are still required in educational institutions in Democratic strongholds such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington and California, according to the Daily Mail. Boston Public Schools denied its "temporary masking protocol" in early January was a "mandate," following a public letter against the policy by student Enrique Abud Evereteze.
...
The team added 11 new randomized controlled trials and "cluster-RCTs," which randomize groups of subjects rather than individuals, to its prior review from November 2020, for a total of 78 studies. The additions included COVID pandemic trials: two from Mexico and one each from England, Norway, Denmark and Bangladesh, the latter two well known internationally.
The Danish study had trouble finding a major journal willing to publish its controversial findings that wearing surgical masks had no statistically significant effect on infection rates, even among those who claimed to wear them "exactly as instructed."
