Chicken Little is real

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 8/3/2021 5:37:27 PM

A recent front-page headline in my local paper read as follows: "County bordering on high virus transmission rate." A doctor with a large regional health system was concerned that the COVID-19 transmission rate had increased by 37% in one week and stated, "A transmission rate above 5% from the prior week is very scary." It seems useful to provide some context regarding numbers such as these, considering all the numbers being thrown around regarding COVID-19, the apparent push to create a panic over the delta variant of COVID-19, the obvious push for everyone to get vaccinated

Comments:

For folks who find all math to be just meaningless gibberish, this sort of lunatic doctor's pronouncements may pass.
For anyone who grasps numbers.....this is total malarkey. Intentionally misleading or just a fool? No way to know, but it seems to be part of the "vaccine mafia" pushing for everyone to get The Shot.

The reporting last year was always " there are now XXX conformed positive cases in Whatever County, a XX% increase over last week". Now, we only hear there is an XX% increase in cases. There is never a comparison number given as pointed out in the article. Non sheep people have caught on to this false or partial reporting of the "dramatic percentage increase in Covid Cases". Unfortunately, in some instances, 1 new case is considered and reported as a 100% rise in cases. They also fail to report the severity of the cases. Are the hospital filled to the brim with body bags piles in the streets or has basically nothing changed and they are omitting that fact? They may claim to be truthfully reporting, but they are conveniently leaving out important facts which would give people a more clear picture that the current fear mongering is much ado about nothing.

People should get vaccinated....period. The unvaccinated increase the risk for everyone. Enough of the loony vaccine stories already. And NO nobody cares about anyone's "I'm not doing it rant"...it's ridiculous and meaningless. Doctors aren't making up numbers or the deaths that are reported, it's not a plot or some mysterious world wide cabal. Pretending people aren't getting infected doesn't make it so. Most will will recover but some will indeed die. Not something anybody should wish on anyone regardless of one's views on vaccines.

Time to haul out Mark Twain again: There are three types of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. And here is another case of the libtards using to statistics to try to frighten us as a means to whatever their latest political ends are. Time to take these subhumans to the woodshed.

If you read news carefully and go to sites that are truthful, you realize masks are a joke and the vaccine is indeed dangerous. Hundreds of thousands of injuries, children with heart inflammation, pregnant women losing babies......this is real. Pie in the sky take the vaccine and you won't have to mask was a lie. The Delta variant, if it's real, has a reported survivable rate of over 99%. So you can believe democrats who wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the butt, or reporting from legitimate news sites.

The story of Chicken Little was written hundreds of years ago. There has always been a group of people who think we're all going to die. Today's liberals think we're all going to die from climate change or CIVID-19. Nope.

The sailor accused of setting fire to a naval amphibious assault ship that burned for five days and injured 71 people voiced hatred of the Navy and attempted to become a Navy SEAL, according to a search warrant affidavit. Investigators with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) believe Ryan Sawyer Mays, 20, set the blaze on July 12, 2020 that destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard while docked in San Diego, an NCIS special agent wrote in the September filing. The fire raged for several days and forced the Navy to scrap the ship, as it would have cost up to $3 billion to make repairs

A community in Atlanta has decided to separate from the city and create its own police force. Bill White, the Buckhead City Committee CEO, said the decision comes as crime in Atlanta has skyrocketed and police are not being properly funded. White told Bill Hemmer on "America's Newsroom" that he estimates nearly 80 percent of his community will vote in favor of the separation. "We have two bills in the Georgia legislature dropping in January to decide this referendum ballot," White said. "We filed our divorce papers at the city of Atlanta, and our divorce is final." White said Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms’ policies have emboldened criminals

Being unblessed by fatherhood (thus far), I have little idea of what boys today are watching on TV, the few not playing video games anyway. But in perusing the 2021 primetime network schedule, I found nothing I would want to watch were I under sixteen. The only constant I could see is the dearth of male heroes, which suggests two possibilities. Hollywoke television executives either have no interest in having young males view their product, or they wish to “detoxify” those who do. Perhaps both conclusions are correct, and equally damning of our time.

Many Americans are ignoring the Olympics this year based on the wokester politics of certain loudmouth Olympic athletes, some just itching to turn their podium moments into anti-U.S. protests. It's disgusting, given that they've chosen to compete under the U.S. flag. It not only comes off as the height of ingratitude, but indicates contempt for the American people as a whole, who love their flag and country. Who needs that crap? Many just say no, and not just "no," but "hell no," and watch the Olympics to cheer the other team, a new phenomenon, which has been evident in all the delight
Why Democrats Don’t Care About Crime 13 replies
Posted by DVC 7/28/2021 2:41:33 PM Post Reply
American cities are reeling from increased crime ranging from burglary and arson to murder. Americans, rightly, are concerned -- except for Democrat officials. San Francisco, a bastion of progressive stupidity, is among the hardest-hit cities -- yet the San Francisco lunatics who run the city claim anyone concerned with rising crime is a white supremacist. This is common among the Democrat intelligentsia and leadership. To understand why Democrats don’t care about crime, we must turn to two prophets of the new anti-American ideology. Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault are essential to understand to enter the deluded mind of the modern progressive and why they are happy

There is something we are not being told that would explain the elites' extreme push to ensure that we all — regardless of age, health, or vulnerability — get vaccinated against the coronavirus, a virus that has an overall survivability rate of 99.8 percent globally (higher for young people), on a par with the seasonal flu. There has to be. Governments and media have never before reacted in this manner, even for flus, diseases, plagues, and pandemics that were more lethal than COVID-19. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. In fact, not so long ago, I mocked those who were.

Since the onset of SARS-CoV-2 (hereinafter the CCP-virus) various figures on the political left have issued proclamations unsupported by science. Experts have asserted things that contravene long-established infectious disease precepts, statements an uncritical press, eager to support the Left’s preferred narrative, freely mimics. Reputable professional sources have produced one-sided opinions only to have to retract them later. Authoritative sources have made statements in this time frame that have been flatly contradictory. (Dr. Fauci co-authored a paper stating that most deaths in the 1917-1918 flu pandemic were due to bacterial pneumonia, not the virus; he has since changed his position on the risks of bacterial infection from wearing masks.)
Covid-19 pill race heats up as Japanese

A Japanese company has started human trials of the first once-a-day pill for Covid-19 patients, joining Pfizer Inc. and Merck & Co. in the race to find treatments for the disease. Osaka-based Shionogi & Co., which helped develop the blockbuster cholesterol drug Crestor, said it designed its pill to attack the Covid-19 virus. It said the once-a-day dosing would be more convenient. The company said it is testing the drug and any side effects in trials that began this month and are likely to continue until next year. Shionogi is months behind Pfizer and Merck, which have started later-stage tests of pills to treat Covid-19.

A Florida man washed ashore inside a bubble-like vessel on Saturday morning after an apparent attempt to walk on water. Flagler County deputies responded to calls from concerned citizens who spotted a strange vessel on the beach in the Hammock area, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said. The vessel’s sole occupant was discovered safe inside without any injuries. He told authorities that he had set off for New York from the St. Augustine area before encountering "complications" that brought him back to shore, the sheriff’s office said. The seafarer, identified as Reza Baluchi of Central Florida, told FOX35 Orlando he was attempting to run in his floating "bubble vessel"

In order to keep alive the false notion that "systemic racism" is rampant in the United States, leftists across America have peddled massive amounts of misleading information. (The hotly debated "Critical Race Theory" is filled with it.) Thus, it should come as little surprise that the COVID-loving mask cultists on the left would stoop to spinning false or misleading tales about Wuhan Virus doom and gloom in order to help keep as much of the nation as possible on edge. Dr. Brytney Cobia of Alabama seems to be such a leftist. This past Sunday, Dr. Cobia posted the following on her Facebook page:

Stephen Stills's brooding and foreshadowing lyrics to the song "For What It Is Worth" from 1966 seem to bear a great deal of relevance today. The band Buffalo Springfield sang this song as a challenge to the political power structure in the late '60s. Stills's words seem to be very relevant and timely in 2021 as the patriots are left out of the election process and isolated from power, denied power, and are now looking around. Many patriots are now thinking "There's Something Happening Here," but are just not clear on what it is, what is coming, and what the results will be.

U.S. Olympics hammer thrower Gwen Berry now says that she will protest against the United States on the medal stand to “represent the oppressed peoples” if she medals this week. Berry raised eyebrows by refusing to stand at attention for the national anthem during the U.S. Olympic Trials in June when she won the bronze in the hammer throw. But until this weekend, Berry would not say if she intended to mount any protests if she medals at the Games in Tokyo. On Sunday, Berry put to rest any questions about her intentions. During an interview after she made it through the qualifying round in Tokyo,

'I think he should resign,' Biden said, after telling reporters that he stood by his previous statement that if the investigation found accusations of sexual harassment against Cuomo were credible the New York Democrat should step aside. The president answered, 'let's take one thing at a time here,' when asked if Cuomo should be impeached and removed from office. He also demurred when asked if Cuomo should be prosecuted.

The decision to prohibit a great number of non-Mexican migrant families from returning to Mexico is expected to force Border Patrol to release more people into the U.S. because it lacks space at existing facilities to hold the thousands coming into custody daily.

Collins said, “It’s clear that this variant is capable of causing serious injury in children.

That is rare, certainly younger people are less likely to fall ill, but anyone that tried to tell you ‘Ah, you don’t have worry about it if you’re a young, healthy person,’

The Biden administration announced a temporary ban on evictions across most of the country on Tuesday, a move that bent to intense pressure from liberal House Democrats but that President Biden acknowledged may not prove constitutional. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a moratorium on evictions for 60 days for U.S. counties with “substantial and high levels of community transmission” of the coronavirus, according to an agency news release. About 90 percent of the country will be covered by the ban as the virus’s delta variant spreads quickly throughout the country, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.
