Health groups to companies: Implement
the OSHA vaccine rule on your own
Posted By: Ribicon, 11/18/2021 12:57:43 PM
The American Medical Association and dozens of health care groups urged large companies Thursday to begin implementing President Biden’s vaccinate-or-test mandate voluntarily, saying the U.S. cannot afford to delay while the regulation is fought in the courts. The health care groups said coronavirus clusters have been traced to offices, retail and food settings and that broader vaccination is needed to stave off a winter COVID-19 spike.(Snip)The AMA and allies say businesses should adopt the policy on their own as cases rise and the drop in hospitalizations flat-lines on the cusp of the holiday shopping and travel season. The U.S. vaccination rate is stuck below 60%.

parents by COVID vaccine status for student shows 11 replies
A Long Island school district has sparked an uproar after announcing plans to separate parents by vaccination status during upcoming student concerts, The Post has learned. The Rockville Centre School District will have a non-socially distanced section for parents who show vaccination proof upon arrival. They will also reserve a separate, socially-distanced area for those who are unvaccinated and others who have gotten the shot but still want some additional elbow room.(Snip)Bartels said some parents were uneasy with sitting at close quarters with those who are not vaccinated and that the district’s arrangement accommodates all parties. “We wanted to get as many people in as possible
A hero surgeon who died of Covid while saving patients on the frontline was double vaccinated but is not believed to have had a booster jab, his family has revealed. Dr Irfan Halim, 45, who earned widespread praise for his work, passed away at Royal Brompton Hospital in London on November 14, surrounded by his heartbroken family following a nine-week battle against the virus. His grieving widow Saila told MailOnline he was double jabbed, receiving the first at the end of last year and the second in January but she did not think he had a booster.(Snip)'It makes you question the efficiency of the vaccine
Hundreds of students at a Michigan university have been sickened with the flu, triggering an investigation into what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have called a “large and sudden” outbreak. Since Oct. 6, 528 cases have been recorded across the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus in Washtenaw County. Approximately three-quarters of those infected were unvaccinated against influenza, according to a statement from the university.
What’s more, the majority of cases—313—have been reported within the last two weeks alone, the University Health Services said.(Snip)Health officials have urged residents to get their flu shots amid the recent spike in cases, noting vaccine distribution is down
Austria has become the first Western nation to make Covid vaccines mandatory for everyone as the government scrapped its 'vaccine apartheid' rules in favour of a full nationwide lockdown today.
Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg announced that, from February 1, everyone will be legally required to have a Covid vaccine. He did not make it clear which age groups will be included, though it is assumed there will be exemptions for the very young and those who cannot be jabbed for medical reasons.(Snip)Schallenberg added that violators will likely face fines rather than criminal penalties, but that details still need to be fleshed out. Austria's fully-jabbed rate currently stands at 66
A Washington state florist has agreed to retire from her business and pay a $5,000 settlement to close out a case accusing her of illegal discrimination against a same-sex couple that had wanted her to provide custom floral arrangements for their wedding ceremony.
Barronelle Stutzman also agreed to cancel her request for a rehearing of her case before the U.S. Supreme Court. She said the $5,000 payment to the two men was a way to exit without having to compromise on her religious beliefs and not have to pay large fees to lawyers for the couple.(Snip)Her case had become one of the most-watched tests of same-sex
shots to all adults, expanding the government’s campaign to shore up protection and get ahead of rising coronavirus cases that may worsen with the holidays. Pfizer and Moderna announced the Food and Drug Administration’s decision after at least 10 states already had started offering boosters to all adults.(Snip)But there’s one more step: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must agree to expand Pfizer and Moderna boosters to even healthy young adults. Its scientific advisers were set to debate later Friday. If the CDC agrees, tens of millions more Americans could have three doses of protection ahead of the new year. Anyone who got the one-dose Johnson
The hand-printed signs, in neat block letters, appeared in the Tulum marketplace the morning after two tourists were shot dead and three others wounded at a roadside eatery in the bohemian Mexican resort town. “Attention merchants of Tulum … this was a warning,” said the sign, which went on to threaten “managers and owners” of bars and restaurants on the “Mini Quinta” tourist zone. That’s where the foreigners, visiting the Malquerida Bar last month, had the bad luck of getting caught in cartel crossfire.(Snip)Things have become so dangerous that on Wednesday Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced the creation of a “tourist battalion”—1,500 National Guard soldiers
Vice President Kamala Harris blamed the Trump administration for the 'broken' immigration system that saw a record 128 percent rise in migrant crossings in October compared to the same time last year.
Citing the recorder number of unlawful border crossers, ABC's George Stephanapoulos asked Harris, the president's point person on root causes of immigration: 'What are you doing to turn that around? How long will it take?' 'It's not going to be over night,' the vice president conceded. 'We can't just flip a switch and make it better.' 'We inherited an immigration system that is deeply broken,' she added.(Snip)Harris added that migrants do not 'want' to leave their home country
The nation's top infectious disease expert says that COVID-19 hospitalizations are rising among people fully vaccinated who have not had booster shots. Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said waning immunity from the initial shots is leading to a rise in severe cases among immunized Americans. 'What we're starting to see now is an uptick in hospitalizations among people who've been vaccinated but not boosted,' he told NBC News in an interview on Tuesday. 'It's a significant proportion, but not the majority by any means.' It comes as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews applications from both Pfizer-BioNTech
A laboratory worker in Pennsylvania found several vials labeled “smallpox” at a facility dedicated to vaccine research and development, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The worker who made the alarming discovery was cleaning out a freezer at the unnamed lab. He was wearing gloves and protective gear at the time. CDC officials on Wednesday said that there is “no indication that anyone has been exposed to the small number of frozen vials.” “CDC, its Administration partners, and law enforcement are investigating the matter and the vials’ contents appear intact,” the agency said in a statement “We will provide further details as they are available.”
President Biden said Thursday the government has purchased 10 million courses of a Pfizer pill to treat COVID-19 but argued that vaccination remains the nation’s “strongest tool” against the pandemic. Mr. Biden secured a portion of supply as the Food and Drug Administration decides whether to authorize the pills, which are taken with a low dose of ritonavir, an existing drug.
Trials showed patients who received the pills saw an 89% reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death compared to a placebo group.(Snip)The Biden administration and scientists say vaccines are preferable because they are much cheaper than innovative drugs and it is more efficient to try
San Francisco’s ‘woke’ District Attorney Chesa Boudin has finally charged a ‘prolific’ female shoplifter, 41, who stole $40,000 in merchandise from the same Target in 120 incidents over a one-year period. Aziza Graves was arrested Tuesday for her alleged shoplifting spree about two weeks after voters forced Boudin into a recall election, with a petition yielding 83,000 signatures—far above the 51,000 required by the city. The push to hold Graves responsible only came after Target demanded that Boudin launch an investigation, which revealed that the store, at the Stonestown Galleria shopping mall, was hit by the same person more than 100 times between October 2020 and November 2021.

It’s no secret that Americans are paying record prices at the gas pumps. (snip) So why now, of all times, is the Biden administration selling off America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (“SPR”) to Asia? As the name suggests, the SPR is America’s emergency backup supply of oil. (snip) Biden is now under pressure to tap the SPR to relieve some of the pressure on fuel prices. (snip) It turns out, though, that Biden is already tapping into the SPR; he’s just not doing it to help Americans. (snip) Biden is selling massive amounts of SPR oil...to Asia!
The House of Representatives passed President Joe Biden's Build Back Better social spending bill Friday morning, with a vote of 220 to 213.Just one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, defected and voted with the Republicans. Biden wasn't immediately able to celebrate the accomplishment, as he was at Walter Reed for his first annual physical as president, and due to undergo a colonoscopy - leaving Vice President Kamala Harris briefly in charge. House Democrats, however, were doing happy dancing and taking selfies. When the bill got passed the 218 threshold, meaning it would pass,CORRECTION*

America's recovery from the delta variant surge dropped the pace of new infections to under 500,000 per week in late October. Now cases are above 600,000 per week and are rising in 34 states, a USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows. The numbers are not close to January, when weekly infections peaked at 1.7 million. But the recovery from one wave has reversed into another wave, more than six months after free, safe, effective vaccines became widely available to all adults. The United States is again reporting an average of more than 1 case every second. Unvaccinated
Kyle Rittenhouse Not Guilty On All Counts
32 replies
A seven-woman, five-man jury has returned a verdict in the self-defense case of Kyle Rittenhouse.
The jury spent four days deliberating whether the now-18-year-old would be locked up in a cell for the rest of life or be free after the attacks on August 25, 2020.
In the end, they decided that Rittenhouse was not guilty of maliciously killing two men and wounding another at the Kenosha riots in 2020.
Before the jury came in, Judge Bruce Schroeder told those gathered in the courtroom not to react and said if people couldn’t control themselves they’d be escorted out. Police were also deployed around the courthouse prior to the verdict being read.
Archbishop Viganò shared this moving text and video with us on Wednesday. The video and text are an international call for the creation of an anti-globalist alliance to defeat the evil elites who wish to enslave free men and women and promote a “Religion of Humanity that cancels Faith in Christ.” From Archbishop Viganò: The whole pandemic issue is instrumental to the Great Reset, and it is the latter that we must fight. I think that, at this moment, it is most appropriate to create a movement of the people that calls together, in an Anti-globalist Alliance, Catholics, Christians, and people of goodwill.
WASHINGTON — Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said Thursday that Republican candidates should continue talking about voter fraud and the 2020 election heading into the midterms, even while acknowledging that President Joe Biden won last November.“I mean, we have to talk about the things that people saw,” McDaniel said during a reporters’ roundtable hosted by the Christian Monitor. She highlighted concerns from poll watchers and voters who she said were “frustrated” because they were turned away from polling sites or who felt that the presidential election “wasn’t run well.”“We have to talk about this because we've got to fix it,”
Prominent Democrats, progressives, and left-leaning groups erupted Friday following Kyle Rittenhouse's acquittal on all charges in his closely watched trial in Kenosha, Wis., calling it a miscarriage of justice. (Snip) New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio, D., fumed over the verdict. ''Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum are victims. They should be alive today. The only reason they’re not is because a violent, dangerous man chose to take a gun across state lines and start shooting people. To call this a miscarriage of justice is an understatement," he said. Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, N.Y., called Rittenhouse a "murderer" whose "white tears"
President Joe Biden has become infamous both here at home and on the world stage for being gaffe-prone during public appearances where cringe-inducing moments are standard fare, including the times when Biden makes up stories out of whole cloth, utters extremely inappropriate comments that no one can explain, seems to forget what he’s supposed to say and/or forgets the names of world leaders as they’re listening to him speak.
In many instances, his handlers have had to step in and take over, aggressively herding the media away like cattle during a roundup, awkwardly upstaging the leader of the free world at a time when this country needs a confident leader
President Biden is 'angry and concerned' after Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges Friday, but says he stands by the jury's decision. The president weighed in on the divisive, high-profile case hours after the verdict was read, telling reporters, 'I stand with the jury as the jury system has concluded. The jury system works and you have to abide by it.'In an attempt to placate both sides, he later released a statement that read: 'While the verdict in Kenosha will leave many Americans feeling angry and concerned, myself included,

A Myth” Despite 4 Years Of Saying 2016
Election Was Rigged 29 replies
If you have ever had a stray cat that will not stop coming back or a friend or family member who insists on sending a fruit cake every Christmas season, then you understand how I feel about crooked Hillary Clinton. The disgruntled and twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton once again made a fool of her politically irrelevant and narcissistic entitled self. On Wednesday Clinton tweeted out to her 31 million Twitter followers claiming “voter fraud” is a “myth”. “Voter fraud is such a myth that its most outspoken critics have to commit the fraud themselves to find an example of it” (Tweet)

The few want us under their thumb, and will take any avenue to get there. Were the Republicans not such a feckless lot of pretenders, they'd push to ban any such mandates. We, and not the people who profit from it, should be at liberty to decide whether this toxic brew is right for us.
