1 Death, 29 New Cases Reported Since Friday

Covid death humboldtPress release from the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

A Humboldt County resident in their 50s has died with COVID-19, marking the county’s 46th death. Humboldt County Public Health and emergency response staff extend their sympathies to the person’s family, friends and care providers.

Twenty-nine new cases have been confirmed since the most recent report on Friday. One previously reported case was removed from the local count after it was determined to be from another jurisdiction, and one antigen-positive case has now been reclassified as a PCR. The total number of county residents who have tested positive now stands at 4,382.

The Humboldt County Data Dashboard has been updated to reflect the latest information. This includes updates to the ZIP code section and the removal of one previously reported hospitalization, which has been determined to be unrelated to COVID-19.

Vaccination clinics are scheduled this week in Carlotta, Petrolia and Eureka. Walk-ins are welcome at all Public Health clinics, or people may schedule in advance through MyTurn.ca.gov. See below for this week’s schedule and a list of vaccines offered.

Summary: Alameda ignored the state and federal guidelines that a death is only a covid death if the death is a direct result of covid, and did their own thing with a broader definition instead. Now they’re going through the old data and fixing it. This only affects data from Alameda, not the rest of the state, country, or world.

Well, it affects any community that was counting their deaths in a way similar to Alameda. The CDC was originally advising an approach like Alameda used, even promoting the idea that the covid could be assumed rather than confirmed.

There’s lots of problems with that.
1) Calling people offensive nicknames weakens any case you make.
2) There is no evidence that covid is genetically engineered or otherwise man made.
3) There is no evidence that, if it is, it was a result of gain of function experiments.
4) There is no evidence that, if it is, it was at Fauci’s direction.
5) There is no evidence that, if it is, leaking it was intentional, which is necessary for murder.
6) There is no evidence that, if it is, it wasn’t due to the actions of any other person.
7) etc. I’m sick of typing.

There is no evidence of laboratory manipulation of the virus either. What there is is a virus that no one has documented previously either in a lab or outside of it. Some scientists say that means is was created in a lab. Others say it is not that great a leap from what is already out there and it simply wasn’t noticed previously. No one has any proof either way- just conjecture.

I like how every article about Fauci’s emails either reads like “Fauci’s emails show he is working in collusion with the jews to inject people with reptilian DNA!” “Umm, where?” “I’m sure it’s in there somewhere!”, or cites an email that says the exact opposite of what the article’s headline said. For example, I just read an article that says the emails prove Fauci was intentionally funding gain-of-function research, and then to “prove” it, cites “Not sure what that means since Emily is sure that no Coronavirus work has gone through the P3 framework. She will try to determine if we have any distant ties to this work abroad.” – which really says the opposite. Someone having someone else try to determine if there was some distant connection just isn’t knowing and intending, somehow.

So far there’s about a thousand articles about Fauci’s emails, and none of them I’ve seen can cite a single actual shred of evidence. If there were a proverbial smoking gun, it would be plastered everywhere, but somehow no one has one.

The one thing I’ve learned looking at them is that Fauci has spent an incredible number of hours, day and night, writing coherent and professional emails about all matter of things. We would be lucky to have more politicians actually putting in the hours to earn their pay like that. Hell, we’d be lucky if half of them managed coherent and professional at all…

What Fauci said was:
“In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision?

Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks. It is more likely that a pandemic would occur in nature, and the need to stay ahead of such a threat is a primary reason for performing an experiment that might appear to be risky.

Within the research community, many have expressed concern that important research progress could come to a halt just because of the fear that someone, somewhere, might attempt to replicate these experiments sloppily. This is a valid concern.”

In other words, he judged that there was more risk of this happening naturally and that understanding what could appear was more important that the fear if an accidental release. That basic research needs to be done to be able to understand how to deal with the possibilities. That is not the same thing as some are alleging of promoting deliberately creating a deadly virus for its use as a weapon.

IDK it seems like there was an awful lot of “it’s only a flu” going on. For over a year. Now that a government conspiracy on origin is on the table there’s a lot of conspiracy theorists clutching their pearls in horror at the same deaths they dismissed as due to “fat, unhealthy Americans” when they wanted to attack governments over face masks. Either should have been pearl clutching all along or dismissive all along. The horrorible deaths shouldn’t be dismissed or cause outrage just in terms of their utility in furthering an agenda. Much less be so obviously flip flopped.

While it has yet to be proven Fauci was wrong, yes, if he was wrong it was very bad- but hindsight is easier than prognostication. The easiest and safest course for the self righteous is to wait until others make a mistake then announce it was obvious to themselves all along. If it turns out to be a natural mutation, then Fauci was spot on. Not that it will be possible to persuade to ever convince conspiracy lovers of that with any possible facts. They make their choice based on their own love of certainties even if they have to make them up and nothing will change their minds.

But Fauci sold Congress on the idea of risky research, by suggesting that it would be “irresponsible to not do” this kind of research, way back when.

The words flowing freely, sweet as honey, from his forked tongue.

“In order to be prepared”,
he said.

And they bought it…

Now here we are.

In truth the consensus of scientists can be wrong but still nothing can be acted on until there is some agreement. So saying consensus does not prove anything is fine, ie is not science, but trying to prove something scientifically is the act trying to establish consensus. No one can say that consensus doesn’t matter. It does. If it didn’t, no one would bother to comment.

And you’re still deaf and they are still there but now you have confirmed their ideas are important enough to be worth supressing. And as people say,there is no smoke without fire. All your demands to stop looking at the smoke does is confirm they have something worth seeing. BTW I have learned much more about viruses than I ever wanted to know because I keep looking up their allegations. And I also learned about conspiracy websites and their small but inbred group of crusanders. If not opposed, they do damage at the grass roots level. The Samoa measles outbreak was plenty of evidence that they spread their ideas whether you hear them or not. At least when they are public, there is a chance to counter them.

How many people here have been “converted” by conspiracy ideas? No one as far as I can tell. It’s always the same 4 people with their ever evolving repetition from congenial websites. If you really fear their influence, then take the time to deal with rationally. Otherwise your massive outrage because they dare to offend your ears is both ineffective and dangerous.

Yes. I was slow to learn that such things were organized. Because I find enough explanation in human stupidity. But then I was equally surprised when liberals started chanting their own nonsense in unison too. If Trump used birther nonsense to target Obama, then liberals equally used the Steele Dossier nonsense to target Trump. Both used Covid to blame their personal villains and both have no use for personal integrity. Both are characterized by clutching their misunderstanding with a death grip to keep fueling their own hates. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE between their thinking processes. If you looked in a mirror, all you’d ever seen is the same obsession in reverse.

The difference is I took the time and effort to listen to what was actually being said, researched as best I could and took the time to counter it as best I can. What have you done except make it worse? Somehow you have the delusion that if you shut someone up, they are powerless. And how can any rational person believe that is true or even possible ?

I was but changed my name to be more consistent- or am trying to but keep forgetting- with my name when the new Guest hijacked it persistently. It was just as wrong to try to suppress the laser forest fire person as it is wrong now. Her theories found no supporters and were not the least danger to anyone. But she irritated you and had to be eliminated. There is always going to be someone that irritates you.

You conflate mechanically suppressing an opinion with winning an argument. And are willing to do it when you don’t win. It is not all about you. You can’t change some minds period. But that is not the only reason to debate. There is an audience whose minds are not yet fixed and posting anti anti vaxxer information reaches those people as much as anti vaxxer opinions do. Besides, looking into it expands my thinking too. That alone is reason to keep at it. At least for me. If I think it is important.

Shutting them up just does not work for any reason unless you are willing to drag dissidents off to some gulag. All of them all the time. Then you win like any bully does. Which turns a person into a brute who never notices when they are wrong and has create ever more brutality to keep their power.

Exactly. I’ve been here from the beginning and it’s a fact that many considerate intelligent commenters left when the comment threads got taken over by some whacky shit-posters. It’s a fact. I don’t care if readership and donations and clicks on the site have increased. I’m deleted on the regular but obviously racist comments stay up.
Conspiracies come and conspiracies go, they can be almost entertaining, but the racism, I’ll never understand why that is allowed. It’s mostly worded in ways that Kym will allow but it’s racism nonetheless. And it’s obvious as hell.
Racist comments can be made here but if you call these commenters racist you will be deleted. Like I said, it’s Kyms show but there are some janky rules that actually enable shit posting.

I find it instructive of the kinds of mindsets that are out there in the community. While I vehemently disagree with many of them, it is useful to know that they exist even if just in the minds of trolls trying to get a reaction.

The real problem is a lack of data that can assign significance to the range of comments since the shrill and unreasonable tend to be much more vocal than the rational and these anonymous comments tend to attract those of a certain mindset.

How many times a day would you come here if there wasn’t some one to argue with?

But discussions get people thinking whether they agree or not and that can lead to more discussions for those that like to think.

But bobble heads don’t like discussions it makes their head hurt, they want compliance.

Life isn’t easy it’s complicated.

You mistake debate for campaigns.

You have allowed an anti vax campaign to reign your Covid comments.

You see it, and you’re not being honest if you say that you don’t.

I know you arent THAT naive.

Anti vax is a supported decision
when those vaccines are harming people, and those who manufacturer and distribute those vaccines are protected against their product hurting people.

How does that become a mountain to defend in your eyes?

It’s just pure ego that can’t accept that there are different ways see the world.

People who think differently don’t need your assistance in their lives, they just need tolerance.

Pretty basic concept.

What really fascinates me is people’s assumption that my opinion on what constitutes tolerable speech correlates perfectly with theirs…Don’t you think I might deny you the right to speak your opinions about something because I find it offensive?

If you were an anti-vaxxer Agenda 21er right wing nut bag who thought Fauci was the new Ghengis Khan and tyranny was 2 minutes away because of masks during a stolen election, why do you think any of us would give 2 fucks about your website and what you deem acceptable?

You would just be given 2 minutes on Newsmax or Tucker.

Hot Coffee, and Kym,

I kind of feel partially responsible for this issue. Sort of.

So here is my confession, I may have inadvertently started the whole problem, or well at least I might have been part of the reason the rule was enacted.

You see, I used to think I was clever, by using a different punny pseudonym, depending on the subject matter, every time.

Yes, every time.

I may have even changed pseudonyms midstream, so to speak, but not to validate or corroborate myself.

It may have appeared that way.

Only Kym knows if I , in a previous flurry of personae, posted the “proverbial” “last straw”.

I never noticed any of my comments were deleted due to it however, so the notoriety may belong elsewhere.

Using so many different pseudonyms was fun, but I didn’t intend to deceive anyone by it.

It did seem to confuse some people, and that in itself, seemed to upset them, and, just by the way the comments fall sometimes, it may have appeared that I was reinforcing a previous comment.

But it added too much time to when my comment would post, and I realized it created more work for you, Kym, so I just went with the generic.

🤔”Generic”…🤔, no I’ll just stick with Guest.

There are probably people that
are “out there”, that legit have multiple personae, so should they, and I do mean “they”, even if there is only one of “them”, be allowed to post under different pseudonyms on the same article?

Why not? Adds to the mystery.

And doesn’t discriminate.

They just need to be “certified”.

(A vaccination card will suffice.)

🤔The thing that bugs me the most, is quite the opposite.

🤔Maybe I’m just paranoid, I really, really, don’t like the feeling that there are multiple people commenting under the same,
non-generic pseudonym. 🤔.

It should be against the rules😁.

But not for “Guest”, of course!😁.

That is perfectly understandable, more or less.

I tried identifying with ✝️, but that just led to religious persecution.

🤔🤔Now, “I” prefer to amuse ourself by “bending the rules”, using multiple personae, in the same comment!

🤔🤔And, so do “I”!😁😁

🤔 “I” am sure “I” am not alone”😁

🤔🤔It’s unanimous.😁😁

Seriously, though,

I can refer to myself as “We”.

No, not because “we’re” “certified”.

I can claim it on a technicality…

Yep, this has been going on for a long time. At first Kym denied it could be happening. I know she can’t stop it but it’s deceptive and juvenile.
Play acting to make it appear as if you have a huge public agreement to the theories you propose here is pretty sad. Why do it? They even have conversations with themselves. Oh well, the worlds a stage and trolls will be trolls.
There’s no law against it but it does skew the conversation but I assume that’s the point.
For all the traffic Kym says she gets I guess these comment threads are incidental and only an itty-bitty fraction of readers. I definitely know why most choose not to wade into these waters. The thinly veiled racism and conspiracy are enough to turn most people away.

🤔 We must first rule out the ones agreeing with themselves and rephrasing the same unsubstantiated arguments (often with a surfeit of unread links—yielded from a biased search engine, using biased search terms—purportedly justifying the speaker’s fantasies), with the same stilted, condescending tone, within minutes of each other.

Then, every post in disagreement with them over the course of several days will be a product of the Russia-linked white supremacist insurrectionist incel chatbot clone farm.

This is a great question to pose to everyone who throws the accusation around.

Why not call out the offenders specifically?

I occasionally, but rarely, use a different handle. (Once commented as Bob Marley because I thought it made for a funny statement.)

Most of us know VMG regularly uses multiple handles (Taurus, Trillium, etc).

People don’t remember that Obama was an Illinois State senator before running for president. Anyone who is familiar with Illinois politics knows exactly how corrupt that entire institution is. Then governor, Rod Blagojevich (sp?) was impeached for openly selling Obama’s senate position. All Illinois governors between the time I was born and the time I left had been impeached for criminal racketeering and ties to mob activity. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Anyone who trusted ol Barry is ignorant of the extreme corruption and crony politics that are still practiced today. The “hope” posters were the best. Still makes me chuckle every time I see one. I “hope” we can pull the nails from the coffin of current American politics.

But I guess Bidens history can be buried.
Vice President Joe Biden delivers a eulogy for Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV).
https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4454847/vice-president-biden-eulogizes-senator-byrd

Robert Byrd
Ku Klux Klan

In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Sophia, West Virginia.[9][13]

In December 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo:

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side … Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944[13][28]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd#Ku_Klux_Klan

And now Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden addressed his white lawyer as ‘n***a’ multiple times, used phrases like ‘true dat n***a’ and bantered ‘I only love you because you’re black,’ in shocking texts unearthed days after Joe’s emotional Tulsa speech decrying racism

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9661781/Hunter-Biden-used-n-word-multiple-times-casual-conversation-text-messages-show.html

There’s plenty more but this is enough to make the point. and I’m sure Hunter having a lawyer already would have sued by now if it wasn’t true.

Who’s the racist? Like Father, Like Son.

Obama doesn’t like Biden but he’s a good puppet for getting Kamala in office and by the way Kamala’s history is a creation of Disney studio’s look it up. Talk about fantasy.

Well Willie, there is an idea that as long as more of yours survive, then you win. Then too there is the idea that it was controllable when it wasn’t. Or the idea that a side of the conflict needed to keep pace with the armament of their enemies- you know just in case- then wasn’t up to containing it. Then there are those who just want to clear the planet. Or maybe it wasn’t a bioweapon at all. If it was, it certainly was a poor one.

There are many reasons for deciding to go down that path. And many examples of literally getting hoisted on your own petard. Many a concentrator of hash oil has set themselves on fire.
