The Covid pantomime at my father’s memorial
What’s especially pertinent to this anecdote? New York City has no general indoor mask mandate currently in force. Nor does it require social distancing. All the above nonsense is voluntary — the great and the good going overboard to seem even greater and gooder. The Grand Neurosis that gripped the Big Apple in 2020 is showing the sharpness of its talons.

In both the US and the UK, loads of institutions, universities and employers have taken the public health crusade into their own hands, continuing to enforce strict, often scientifically senseless ‘Covid security’ regulations that the law does not require. I’ve a sick feeling this internalised psychosis makes both governments perfectly happy.
One shock of this whole Covid fiasco has been how readily authorities can summon a formerly alien, even repulsive set of cultural norms by instilling widespread fear. When sharing memories at my father’s memorial, I was disheartened to look out on dismally isolated clumps of mourners anonymised by facial swaddling. My father deserved better, and so did his friends and family. But there will be many more such oppressive convocations before any of these protocols are rescinded.
And will they ever be rescinded? It was astonishingly easy for officialdom to manifest a whole new rancid, anti-social ethos. It may prove far harder to make the Grand Neurosis go away.
Baaaaaaaa!

Vaccine mandates: a new form of ‘institutional segregation’
For some, there’s little value in a vaccine against a disease they have already recovered from, even as new variants develop. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that by May, 120 million Americans of all ages (35% of the population) had already been infected with SARS-CoV-2. New data shows natural immunity is six to 13 times more protective against emerging variants than vaccines.

Me too. Just got done harvesting a ton and a half of Clairette Blanche. What a beautiful morning to take in some Sun induced vitamin D. Just in case you don't have the non-mandated Peruvian anti-COVID kit. Tyrants hate that shit.Great stuff. I feel strong

The azithromycin had me head scratching a bit. But with estamos contigo must figure you're in good hands.
Awesome bro. I'm working from the beach again when it gets a little warmer. The D vitamin has been my cure bro. My wife is looking into her connection in Guatemala for the kit. Grandpa knows everyone and I think we can get some. I made potato pie yesterday.
Why a COVID vaccine mandate for California schools would be unprecedented
The state has long required children to be vaccinated against diseases such as smallpox...

Here’s a letter to the Wall Street Journal:

Patience my friend, we are only on page 154.
Although, it seems that the American people have been the losers in the debate.

Had in my head to get back to this but had to find it. IMO the leeway part is about right. Falsifying is hard. In a lab you can try to set things up to discount a particular hypothesis for instance. Even then, though, it often comes down to a p value or some other assessment of uncertainty. Discounting to a certain degree of confidence but not logically falsifying. I knew a guy once who, in a rather annoying way, analogized generating and evaluating data into decisions regarding dating, as in "sure there's lots of good reasons not to date that person, but I bet you are still wondering if they are going to show up at the party". If somebody says "here's this data and it means this" and you say "no it doesn't and I can prove that to you because of this" it requires you have a mutually accepted way to rationally weigh the respective arguments and evaluating uncertainty. That's baked in to the rules of science and, who knows, maybe also debating, although I must say the debating thing mystifies me a bit. If that's not there intrinsic uncertainly becomes "you can't prove to me you're right and you can't prove to me I'm wrong". Maybe that's just what arguing and BSing is all about, kind of like just another competition, and I just don't get it. But it can be manipulated to turn against itself.
But remember, breakthrough cases are rare.....

Before heading to the microwave, anybody got the Vegas odds on the Balrog?
I woke this morning and honestly feel all my competitiveness and dualism is gone. You will all see by how I write. No judgement from me, I swear. I had so much pain, but no more. No need to say sorry to everyone because you guys already know I love you. I believe in freedom for each individual. Equality & justice for all and a planet based on merit and how you give to humanity, not take from it. I see the rainbow you guys, I truly do. I see the peace train rolling in. I love every single one of you. Love you guys and have a wonderful and beautiful TGIFF!!!
Agreed, but it seems that its the Militant Vaxxers that are the ones more likely to make them enemies. Any positive mention of natural immunity gets you labeled an anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist.
I was hard you sir. Please accept my heartfelt apologies and a warm thank you for having my back at times with all my emotionalism. I feel your love man, I do. You helped me yesterday to take time off and I did. I didn;t read what Golden Gate said either. All joke aside too here bro. I have a really good friend like you and he got jabbed and is pro-vax but also pro-choice and too each his own kind of guy and we both hang out with no fuzz. However, his neighbor thinks I'm a bad influence on him because he is so anti-vax, he hates guys like you now and calls them conspiracy theory people too. Thanks for yesterday bro, I dodge a bullet again

Militant vaxxers justifying mandates seem rather redundant, anti-market and, ironically pro-corporate welfare.
