Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva said he will not force his employees to get vaccinated as required by a mandate the City Council passed on Wednesday.

"The issue has become so politicized," Villanueva said on Thursday. "There are entire groups of employees that are willing to be fired and laid off rather than get vaccinated, so I don't want to be in a position to lose 5 percent, 10 percent of my workforce overnight on a vaccine mandate"

The sheriff also cited the "defunding effort" and referred to it coupled with the vaccine mandate as "the worst of two worlds."

"Interesting how these Big Drug Companies have been granted liability protections against injuries/death
and Big Social Media (Twitter etc) have have been granted liability protections against libel.
So drug companies can injure you and media can cover it up."

Yeah it looks like the only absolute immunity in all this is the immunity Big Pharma has. What a deal huh? If any lawsuits that are won the taxpayers pay the bill.

"Proceed With Caution At Your Own Peril" - Merck's COVID 'Super Drug' Poses Serious Health Risks, Scientists Warn


Molnupiravir works by incorporating itself into the genetic material of the virus, and then causing a huge number of mutations as the virus replicates, effectively killing it.

I don’t tend to care if the reporting is from ZH, Fox, CNN or my brothers neighbors kid, I DO care about the source data. ZH happens to do a better job than most, reporting..

90% of that article, like most on ZH, are aggregated content from other documented sources. In this case, Barron’s…


According to Barron's, some scientists who have studied the drug believe that its method of suppressing the virus could potentially run amok within the body.

Some scientists who have studied the drug warn, however, that the method it uses to kill the virus that causes Covid-19 carries potential dangers that could limit the drug’s usefulness.
Molnupiravir works by incorporating itself into the genetic material of the virus, and then causing a huge number of mutations as the virus replicates, effectively killing it. In some lab tests, the drug has also shown the ability to integrate into the genetic material of mammalian cells, causing mutations as those cells replicate.
If that were to happen in the cells of a patient being treated with molnupiravir, it could theoretically lead to cancer or birth defects.

Yet another right-wing wacko attempt to discredit the jab! Turn to the MSM for the real truth:

Singapore is seeing daily record Covid cases. Here’s why it may not be a bad thing

"medical experts told CNBC that the latest virus wave may not be a bad thing since Singapore’s population is highly-vaccinated."

"Many of the patients with Covid-19 have avoided severe illness and will gain further protection against future infection as antibodies fight the virus, according to Teo Yik-Ying, dean of the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore."

“For these people, infection will not have any short-term or long-term consequence to their health, but may additionally trigger a natural immune response which reduces the chance of subsequent infection,”

"“If we get a natural infection, our immune system will be able to recognize a larger part of the virus” as opposed to just the spike protein, Ooi said, adding that it could make a person more resilient against future variants."


What I can't figure out is how this relates to wanting to give the jab to kids, where infection is widely reported to result in mild cases. All of the arguments saying it's good for Singapore people to get covid would seem to apply to kids, so what is the purpose to give them the shot? I expect the answer will be coming soon out of the other end of the experts' mouths, and gleefully parroted by the MSM.

:idk:

I was just in a gun forum thread where many seem to think the same? The data I’m seeing says the exact opposite.

The group as a whole is oddly very pro vax but more importantly, very down on anyone unvaxxed…it was disturbing to see that group not open to any study or evidence of the jab not being what it’s promoted as being let alone adverse reaction data thats piling up.

Very little knowledge outside of 6-12 month old cdc data ..

Even more disturbing was that there is a lot of LE on that forum.

Like the majority of people I suppose. Nobody really wants to hear they’re being lied to by their government.

Not anti vax, interesting data out of Idaho which is one of the hot spots in the USA (data is out of date by a couple weeks);

Most infections, 60,000+ in the 18-29 age bracket;

Deaths to date in that age bracket 13.

Not making light of Covid, just observing the facts that are the facts.

If you are going to get it, it will happen, vaxed or unvaxed. I had it almost a year ago. Worst thing that happened? It took me almost 10 months to start getting my senses of taste and smell back. Otherwise, it was no worse than a bad cold. The world has made Mt. Everest out of a ant hill for the past 2 years.

Seems like that follows the trend with most any flu. Logical.

What is most important I think at this stage, and missing, is cases jab vs no jab layered on that graph… and the dates of the graph.
