About time.
True story. Espola thinks I make up stories. This friend who will name nameless is a super nice guy but follows orders by his leaders
Friend: Hey bro, just calling you back
Crush: I was confused by your text. Did you say you have a blood clot?????
Friend: Yes
Crush: How did that happen ((He had to go back to work after summer break I believe his industry says they expect all staff to be vaxed, his words not mine.))
Friend: bla, bla and more bla reasons why he has blood clot.
Crush: Did you end up taking the jab bro?
Friend: Ya, but.............my Doc said it has nothing to do with it
Crush: Ok bro, please be safe. Are you taking any medication?
Friend: Yes, blood thiner

More than likely it's at least three zeroes to the right of the IFR decimal point that is causing problems for the Scientist who want to keep their jobs or get promoted or published.

Writing in Spiked, Martin Kulldorff and Jay Bhattacharya decry the smear campaign against the Great Barrington Declaration. Two slices:
In October 2020, along with Professor Sunetra Gupta, we authored the Great Barrington Declaration, in which we argued for a ‘focused protection’ pandemic strategy. We called for better protection of older and other high-risk people, while arguing that children should be allowed to go to school and young adults should be free to live more normal lives. We understood that it might lead to vigorous and heated discussions, but we did not expect a multi-pronged propaganda campaign that gravely distorted our arguments and smeared us. We are just three public-health scientists, after all. So how and why did this slanderous counterattack emerge?
In his recent book, Spike, Jeremy Farrar – a SAGE member and director of the Wellcome Trust – has provided a helpful hint: the political strategist and the prime minister’s chief adviser, Dominic Cummings, planned a propaganda campaign against the Great Barrington Declaration. Farrar’s exact words are that Cummings ‘wanted to run an aggressive press campaign against those behind the Great Barrington Declaration and others opposed to blanket Covid-19 restrictions’. Cummings and Farrar preferred a blanket lockdown strategy, believing it would avoid a winter Covid wave.
…..
[Matt] Hancock, Anthony Fauci, Jeremy Farrar and prominent journalists also mischaracterized the Great Barrington Declaration as a ‘herd-immunity strategy’, even though any strategy will lead to herd immunity sooner or later. Yes, the Declaration discussed herd immunity. It would be irresponsible to ignore such a basic biological fact. But to characterize the Great Barrington Declaration as a ‘herd-immunity strategy’ is like describing a pilot’s plan to land a plane as a ‘gravity strategy’. The goal of a pilot is to land the plane safely while managing the force of gravity. The goal of any Covid pandemic plan should be to minimize disease mortality and the collateral harms from the plan itself, while managing the build-up of immunity in the population. Shockingly, some politicians, journalists and even scientists denied the very existence of herd immunity. Some even questioned the existence of natural immunity from Covid, which is a bit like denying gravity.

Step right up folks and get $100 for a jab or maybe $100,000 for three jabs.......
Super more bad news fellas and right from the horses mouth. The blind, the lame, the deaf, the Liars, all cheaters and killers are running wild. My friend Colin told me thank you for helping him. His faith was weak because of all the liars. My sad and bad news is a dear friend of my wife, just told my wife, if she doesn't get the jab no more friendship in a round about way. It was just like 2016 all over again when friends on FB drew a redline and told peeps if you support t, no friendship. She doesnt like it when my wife shares with people online about healthy eating habits, forgiveness and mercy talks and losing weight instead of the double shot jab. She is at least 240 lbs with lupus and depression and that's just what we know about. She is a very good customer for big phama and she get's coupons for 25% off at Rite aid. Dad just wants all of you to say, "thank you sir may I have another." Sad times we live in yet I'm happy to find out who my true pals are. I see the board clearly. So does you know who and he has big reward for those who play fair and treat others with dignity and respect. Take a jab for the team they say, ((keep your ability to put food on the table too and be able to go out and be entertain with VPK)) and do it for your neighbor too and those you shop with. Peer pressure is coming on hard now. No jab, no soccer? Grace, what have you heard on this front. Round 2 this fall is going to be crazy.

Remember, Sweden should be a thousand times worse than everywhere else if the craziness of the past 18 months were justified.
It's a story in four charts.

They're not wearing masks in Sweden, by the way, but you probably knew that.
Now, back in the United States:
Looks like they're planning to bring back plenty of the craziness in the schools this fall. I swear, it's like these loons are trying to subsidize my work.
What work is that, you ask?

Mask Mandate Reinstated in San Francisco—as Daily COVID Deaths Hit Zero
Daily COVID deaths are at zero and 93 percent of San Francisco residents over the age of 65 are vaccinated. So why are mask mandates a thing again?

Report I got from LAFC game tonight was noticeably less than 50% compliance. And LAFC pretty much stunk it up.

Right. Digits to the left of the decimal in real world numerator and denominator? Not so important I guess.
Still, its clear you are not impressed with the IFR for Cov-2. We should try to find your wow spot. I can think of two ways forward. The first is that since USAMRIID is open for business again at Ft. Detrick we can see if we can get you a hall pass. Knock on the doors of the BSL4 labs till you find something to your liking. Second, we could bring forward candidates. My first suggestion would be rabies, although there are many other possibilities. Without medical intervention, rabies has an IFR of 1. If that doesn't knock your socks off I don't know what will. For example, from 2002-04 there was an outbreak in rural Zhejiang Province in China where 7 people died from rabid badger bites. Badgers are ill-tempered beasts under the best of conditions. I can't imagine a rabid one. Would make Old Yeller look like a cuddly pussy cat.
San Diego union tribune poll has newsom losing the recall handily. It’s probably an outlier poll. But given the other polls of the last few days it definitely is a sign newsom is in trouble (though I still think he has a handful of points of advantage that will spin on turnout). Poll points to renewed covid restrictions as a big reason for the shift. Meet Kevin (d) is in the lead to replace newsom. Meet Kevin has a lot of quirky ideas I think will backfire but I’ll take meet Kevin at this point.
