August 25, 20214 yr We may see more of this soon: A doctor in Alabama refuses to treat unvaccinated patients. Diagnostic and Medical Clinic Infirmary Health in Mobile physician, Dr. Jason Valentine, took to Facebook to express his take on unvaccinated patients. He posted a photo of himself next to a sign that says, "Effective Oct. 1, 2021, Dr. Valentine will no longer see patients that are not vaccinated against COVID-19.” "If they asked why,” Valentine wrote, "I told them COVID is a miserable way to die and I can’t watch them die like that.” In addition to the photo, Valentine posted a letter to his patients, which he was planning on sending them through the mail. "We do not yet have any great treatments for severe disease, but we do have great prevention with vaccines. Unfortunately, many have declined to take the vaccine, and some end up severely ill or dead,” he wrote in the letter. "I cannot and will not force anyone to take the vaccine, but I also cannot continue to watch my patients suffer and die from an eminently preventable disease.” "Therefore, as of October 1st, 2021, I will no longer see patients that have not been vaccinated against COVID-19,” the letter went on. "If you wish to keep me as your physician, documentation of your vaccination will suffice. If you wish to choose another physician, we will be happy to transfer your records.” After sharing the information online, Valentine wrote that three unvaccinated patients reached out, asking where they could get inoculated.
August 25, 20214 yr Biden receives inconclusive intelligence report on covid origins The report falls short of concluding whether the coronavirus jumped from animal to human, or might have accidentally escaped from a lab in China https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/08/24/covid-origins-biden-intelligence-review/
August 25, 20214 yr Wife just got an email from work. Employees must be vaccinated by 10/1 or be terminated. Not only that but if they are terminated they won't be eligible for unemployment benefits.

Whether it came from the lab or from the wet market--but I think the Military Olympic games held in Wuhan is how it got out and went global.

Lots of the trumpbot parents were pissed. One of them was shouting and interrupted the board president. They threatened to leave the district at which point me and my wife looked at each other and we were both like: We send our kids to catholic school. Masks are mandatory this year for all students no exceptions. Lots of Trumpbot parents doing the same. Our reaction is the same.

I'm flying to Vegas on Friday. I've had colleagues who are back on the road tell me that some just pretend their drinking coffee whenever a flight attendant goes by and get away with going maskless for the entire flight. Half the company is in Boston this week. I'm glad I didn't have to go.

The way it spreads asymptomatically coupled with how perfectly it mutates sure seems like it was engineered as a bio weapon.

Asking the unvaccinated to wear a mask next 10 days. I know of 1 co worker not vaccinated, he was on vaca last week, came back this week, left to work remote yesterday, but is here today. I don't think it is him. Are the 2 employees here? Or are they remote today? I don't know. I'll just hang in my cube. Might go back to masking up walking in and out, and when in a store. Rite Aid the other day almost everyone was wearing a mask. I wondered if I missed a sign or something? I was in Portland, OR Friday the 13th for a work event, and 2 of the people within my company who were there gots the rona. HR called me Thursday last week to notify as part of their contact tracing I guess? I was almost a full week removed and operating at 100% (carried through still almost another week later) so my antibodies from February and then my shot from early April seem to have me invincible now.

I have been masking up in stores because I know too many of the people where I shop. I know they are not vaccinated. We were supposed to fly to CO next week - don't think we will, although we are talking about driving out. No desire to be on airplane where some of the people have fake vaccine cards. I’m typing this reply from the tarmac in Dallas on my home from a work trip to Denver. Most people on the flight have appeared to be wearing their masks from what I can tell, except that guy that sick all over the place as we were taking off. The flight attendant did have to tell a man behind me that masks were required on the plane during boarding, and then she had to inform him that pulling his shirt up was not sufficient but from what I could tell he masked up without incident. As I was getting ready to leave the job site I found out that one of the foreman had been sick the past few days but was working anyway. I have no idea what his symptoms were but he indicated he was feeling much better yesterday and today, the 2 days I was on site. I wasn’t around him but I spent much of the day yesterday with people that are around him regularly. Everyone on the job is vaccinated as far as I know so I’m hoping it was just a cold and if not the percentages are in my favor to not have caught anything especially since we were outside for almost the entire time.

Here's how we know. By Jeanna Bryner March 21, 2020 One persistent myth is that this virus, called SARS-CoV-2, was made by scientists and escaped from a lab in Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began. A new analysis of SARS-CoV-2 may finally put that latter idea to bed. A group of researchers compared the genome of this novel coronavirus with the seven other coronaviruses known to infect humans: SARS, MERS and SARS-CoV-2, which can cause severe disease; along with HKU1, NL63, OC43 and 229E, which typically cause just mild symptoms, the researchers wrote March 17 in the journal Nature Medicine. "Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus," they write in the journal article. Kristian Andersen, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research, and his colleagues looked at the genetic template for the spike proteins that protrude from the surface of the virus. The coronavirus uses these spikes to grab the outer walls of its host's cells and then enter those cells. They specifically looked at the gene sequences responsible for two key features of these spike proteins: the grabber, called the receptor-binding domain, that hooks onto host cells; and the so-called cleavage site that allows the virus to open and enter those cells. That analysis showed that the "hook" part of the spike had evolved to target a receptor on the outside of human cells called ACE2, which is involved in blood pressure regulation. It is so effective at attaching to human cells that the researchers said the spike proteins were the result of natural selection and not genetic engineering.

August 26, 20214 yr Warnings About the Sturgis Rally Have Come Tragically True more than one in three COVID-19 tests are currently returning positive, and over the last three weeks, seven-day average case counts have increased by 3,400 percent. This exponential growth in cases is likely attributable to the 81st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, which drew an estimated half a million visitors to Meade County and its environs from Aug. 6 through 15, potentially acting as a superspreader event.

Lots of different viruses going around now: cold, flu, etc. (I had a summer cold go through the household last month. Fever, runny nose, cough, all classic cold symptoms. Didn't lose taste or smell. We tested negative for COVID. All felt better in about 2 days. Typical cold.) Typically we see this more during winter months than summer. But everything we did last winter: social distancing, masking, etc. kept them at bay. So they're circulating now as more people are venturing out. Few people caught them during winter so we're not immune to them now.

The CDC was still saying NOT to wear masks back then. That's how little they knew about it.

If you think it's a bio weapon from China, wouldn;t you be more inclined to defend yourself and your countrymen?
