Vaccine passports: More useless than you thought

Posted by M. C. on February 22, 2022

As I reported a week or two ago, the vaccine passport systems in various American cities

Since the last time I wrote, the system in Boston has also been removed. That holds special significance for me. I could not bear to see the city of my youth placed under those useless, cruel, and unscientific orders.

Here’s a chart you can try to stump your friends with.

These are two neighboring counties in California: Los Angeles County, which has a widespread vaccine passport system, and Orange County, which has no passport system at all.

These people live right next to each other. It’s a perfect test.

We are told that the shots are supposed to reduce hospitalizations. So let’s have a look.

Hospitalizations in Los Angeles County vs. hospitalizations in Orange County.

There had better be a huge difference in Los Angeles County’s favor to justify all this.

And yet….

And yet.

Here is the chart, generated from covidactnow dot org:
I haven’t labeled the counties. Can you tell them apart?

Can your friends?

Shouldn’t they be able to?

The answer almost doesn’t matter, since the curves for the two places are essentially indistinguishable. But if you’re really curious, I’ll tell you that the blue line, which is slightly worse, is Los Angeles County, the place with county-mandated vaccine requirements to participate in normal life, and the orange line, which is slightly better, is Orange County, which has no such requirements.

They’ve destroyed businesses, torn families apart, turned people’s lives upside down — and it’s all for nothing.

Nothing at all.

I know my good readers will tell me: this has never been about a virus.

If you’ve doubted that, doubt no longer.

It is about compliance and control. The chart speaks for itself.

The same goes for the rest of the alleged mitigation measures. There’s no evidence masking children (or anyone) does anything, and yet they’re going to die on the hill of keeping masks on kids.

What are masks doing to little children who are still learning language and human communication in general?

As it happens, one of my podcast listeners just designed a product that does something like the opposite of this.

Not only does it not impede children’s mastery of communication, but to the contrary it actually teaches the littlest among them — toddlers and even infants — language, math, and reading.

We know it’s much easier to learn a new language from birth than it is to try to learn it later. So instead of building on this principle, our overlords are putting masks on everyone’s faces.

Anyway, I decided to affiliate with this product, because it sure seems as if now is pretty much the most urgent time, in order to counteract the mask weirdness, to enrich the development of the littlest.

Yet Another Reason To Leave Kalifornia

Posted by M. C. on April 14, 2021

Orange County officials have announced that they are launching a “vaccine passport” system to make people feel “safe.” While Biden has claimed no interest in a federal system, will increasing pressure, primarily from “blue” states, push the Administration to change its tune?

The Resistance Thrives: 8 Successes Against Corona Communism – LewRockwell

Posted by M. C. on June 16, 2020

Though it’s fun to resist a tyrant, the most wonderful way to resist is to just ignore and live your life.

The resistance to corona communism is thriving. Though there have been additional hurdles, individual Americans are increasingly returning things to normal, one person at a time. Some backlash is also coming as people increasingly look to the normally insulated public health community and demand they explain the damage they caused and continue to cause.

Victory in Palm Beach County!

What happened in Palm Beach is not as wonderful as how it happened. On Monday, May 11, 2020 Palm Beach County became the first county in South Florida to re-open according to the Sun Sentinel, snubbing federal guidelines.

“The county commission voted 5-1 on May 5 to ask Gov. Ron DeSantis to lift restrictions designed to stop the spread of the new coronavirus anyway, and he approved. On Monday, restaurants, salons, and malls flung open their doors, albeit at 25% percent capacity.”

It took the local Karens eleven days to figure out and that local officials had snubbed federal guidelines and to get that sin into the paper. Local officials feigned shock upon being confronted with the information that they opened without following federal guidelines.

The article neglects to mention that Sunday, May 3, two days before the county board vote, there were 1,200 boats in the water at a single event at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach County, filled with people not social distancing, Craigslist stayed as active as ever, and the so-called #FloridaMorons who never took the lockdown seriously were long past done with it.

The Palm Beach County Board opened just in time to avoid being laughed into utter irrelevancy. The county board looked like nincompoops forcibly shuttering businesses while neighboring Martin County boomed and was open for business, attracting the people of Palm Beach who were ready for normalcy.

The grand takeaway from this: never move to a place run by Karens. Live somewhere Karen free.

Zero Hedge Returns!

Zero Hedge, the first casualty of Covid censorship, had its Twitter account taken down in late January for tweeting a fascinating article about recent job postings at a Wuhan lab near the epicenter of the corona outbreak, that by June 2020 standards is tame. Every day that the discussion on corona progressed and Internet sleuths dug further into the possible origins of SARS-COV-2, the more ridiculous Twitter looked for permanently deleting the Zero Hedge account. They are back!

Expose Bill Gates

#ExposeBillGates trended late Saturday afternoon on Twitter, with 120,000 tweets, as Twitter’s censors fell asleep at the switch. The oversight was soon remedied. June 13, 2020 represented a global day of action against Bill Gates from social media to documentaries to podcasts to public demonstrations to people tabling in public. The meme artistry of the day was magnificent as well. Bill Gates tried to further subjugate the world and accidentally woke people up. Mass vaccination is suddenly looking a lot harder and the voices against it are growing more organized.

Chicago PD Not Protecting, Guns Hard To Get, So Individuals Protect Themselves & Their Neighbors — With Baseball Bats

Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who recently cussed out an alderman who complained about her inability to keep the city safe, criticized locals for wanting to keep themselves safe by forming neighborhood watch groups and open carrying baseball bats. Kudos to those who refuse to believe the narratives of local pols that they have everything under control.

And Guns Too

Some Chicagoans are protecting their property and their neighborhood from looters by openly carrying rifles, as can be seen in this amusing video taken by a hysterical observer who seems bothered to not be able to freely rob a local store. The video is taken on the southwest corner of south 73rd Place and Stony Island, across from Mosque Maryam, the Nation of Islam headquarters. For decades, legally owned firearms were difficult to come by in Chicago, unless one was a police officer or politician.

Bravely Reopening — Support These Conferences That Don’t Fear Corona Or Karens

Though it’s not clear how long the hysterical 18-month rolling lockdowns called for in the Neil Ferguson “research” will continue, a few conferences have been announced for the months ahead. Instead of following the conference trend of taking the year off, they are showing leadership. I, for one, am grateful.

Moderately Brave — Money 2020

Money 2020  has announced it will take place in Las Vegas, in October with a “toned down” 6,000 participants.

More Brave — Bit Block Boom

With some states unwilling to promise they will even fully open up by August, the brave organizers of Bit Block Boom vow to have their third conference this August in Dallas, Texas.
