The Current Events, News, and Politics Thread
Plenty of people now believe the weatherman than most of these "scientists". And if the weatherman keeps telling you a storm is coming and you'd better stay indoors for two weeks, wear a mask, and get vaccinated so that the storm can go away- and it hasn't, won't, and it's just a little windier and rainier than usual but only for some- then you wouldn't believe him either. And yes, I just assumed his gender.
I live where we keep a close watch on storms and I can tell you that there is only one source for science you can believe in to give you the best "prediction" of where storms are heading: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin=atlc&fdays=2
Everything else is not science but fear ****, especially the local channels and The Weather Channel.

Straight question - given that the current chairman of the Board of Pfizer is the former head of FDA - do you see any conflict of interest here that cast aspersion on the legitimacy of the "approval"
Here's a rather interesting video. And no, it's not antivax, just more like anti-process:

Thank you for posting!! The lunacy happening in the US with censorship of "misinformation" (AKA anyone talking about things the government doesn't want you to find out about) is at a staggering, all time high and showing no signs of decreasing.

this was promptly proven as "disinformation" by MSM. Joe was alert and answered quickly after the Israeli PM stopped talking. Barf
Are ya'll noticing the vibrant purple street lights? Pretty much all of them in my town are now purple, so they don't do jack **** other than destroy your eyes.
Seems it's a nationwide problem. They are saying manufacturer defect, and that they are eventually being replaced under warranty. I can't find anywhere across the entire net who made these pieces of ****. Only "the manufacturer."
Seems like a good visual display about how well our government is working lately. No testing and no plan when the no testing goes **** up, but go ahead and make it nationwide! Who wants to bet it's some no-name chinese fly by night "manufacturer" and we are all currently rebuying the future of lighting all over again. They said the lights would be fixed by June, they still aren't fixed.

The FBI is a terrorist organization.
https://justthenews.com/government/c...nformant-white
The FBI, already under fire for its handling of FISA warrants and confidential informants, is enduring more scrutiny as the Justice Department admits agents failed to disclose to a court that they had paid — to the tune of six figures — a white supremacist publisher for years to be an investigative source.The admission came in a series of court filings this month in the case of Kaleb Cole, a Washington state man accused of being a member of the white supremacist group Atomwaffen and participating in an intimidation campaign against Jewish Americans and minority journalists. Cole has pleaded innocent and awaits trial.
Cole's lawyers filed a motion to suppress evidence gathered against their client on the grounds that the FBI had failed to disclose in a search warrant application that a publisher of extremist literature had been paid about $144,000 over 16 years to be an informant, including $82,000 for work in the case against Cole. The confidential informant (CI) also had an earlier felony conviction that wasn't disclosed, court records show.
The filings don't identify the informant by name but describe him as a publisher who "owns and operates a publishing company that distributes white supremacist writings."
"The CI began his long career as a professional informant in exchange for consideration regarding his sentence on a federal conviction for possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number and an unregistered silencer," Cole's lawyers argued in an Aug. 13 motion.
"The failure to include the information about the CI's incentives is made more egregious by the fact that the warrant application incriminated Mr. Cole based almost solely on the alleged observations of the CI," the lawyers added.

Joe Biden is now the #1 terrorist arms dealer (gifter?) of all time. Anyone who still has a Biden sticker on their car is cognitively challenged, or simply pure evil.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around today's news that 400 American women were bused to Kabul air base, but were REFUSED entry. One report suggested that they're all dead by now.
edit:
400 Americans denied Kabul entry...an "investigation" is called for... :/
Yes, let's have an investigation next week, when the lives have already been lost. This could be the America's worst-ever Cluster****

While I agree with everything the Marine LtCol said, he shouldn't have done it via social media. He should have confronted his superiors face-to-face. I'd bet a month's pay that's why he was relieved of command. I'm a retired AF O-5 and I would never have done it that way, but I'm an old guy. Social media was never part of my active duty life.

On a separate note, the vaccine is not 'gene therapy'.

"It would have been worse if..." is completely anecdotal at best at this moment.
How could there be empirical evidence if the control group no longer exists (pfizer, moderna, unsure of jnj)? The language used in many articles are very specific... hospitalized and unvaccinated (are they there for covid or a broken leg)? HOW do you know that they wouldn't have been hospitalized or have more/less complications had they not been vaccinated? This requires a vast control group to compare to, no? That someone with a very similar build, history, etc etc to compare to...

--vaccines don't prevent reinfection, although they do lessen the symptoms
--the Israel study (700,000 people) prove that natural immunity is much better than the jab
--there are short term side effects that can include death
--the long-term side effects of this MRNA vaccine are simply not known. Many of us are part of a grand experiment...

The vaccines work, although not as well as the natural immunity gained by actually getting Covid. The nuance that one camp or the other decides to use in order to make their point simply clouds the overall issue, IMO. But:
--vaccines don't prevent reinfection, although they do lessen the symptoms
--the Israel study (700,000 people) prove that natural immunity is much better than the jab
--there are short term side effects that can include death
--the long-term side effects of this MRNA vaccine are simply not known. Many of us are part of a grand experiment...

But the commentary would be on the word "works." Does it though? Are there more effective solutions? DOES it really improve outcomes? And for what age groups? Are people getting better/stronger now, OR has the virus become weaker (as they do)? No control group means or even worse, a botched control group nullifies any commentary on this vaccine following any scientific protocol.
