1 Death, 28 New Cases Reported
Press release from Humboldt County Public Health:
Humboldt County Public Health reported today the death of a resident in their 60s from COVID-19. Staff in the Department Operations Center extend their condolences to all who have lost a loved one to the virus.
Twenty-eight new cases of COVID-19 were also reported, bringing to 10,652 the total number of residents who have tested positive for the virus. No new hospitalizations were reported.
State health officials are encouraging Californians to enjoy the holidays this season but are urging residents to get vaccinated and boosted to protect themselves from the Delta and Omicron variants. Residents aged 5 and older are eligible to get vaccinated and anyone aged 16 and older is encouraged to get a booster if it’s been six months or more since the completion of their initial vaccine series.
Although the Omicron variant is highly transmissible, health officials cite new data that suggests primary vaccination and booster shots can lessen impacts, including hospitalizations and deaths. No cases have been detected locally, but the Omicron variant has been confirmed in California and throughout the country. Incidence of the variant is anticipated to rise over the next several weeks following holiday gatherings.
The Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention recommends anyone who is sick or unvaccinated and has been exposed to someone with COVID-19 to forego travel. All travelers are recommended to self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms and to isolate and get tested if they develop symptoms after travel.
Public Health testing is available through OptumServe at the Wharfinger Building in Eureka through Wednesday, Dec. 23. The Wharfinger site will be closed Friday and Saturday and will reopen for regular business starting at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 26. Walk-ins will be accommodated, but appointments are recommended and can be made at lhi.care/covidtesting or by calling 888-634-1123. Turnaround times for test results through OptumServe average two to three days.
The COVID-19 Joint Information Center (1-707-441-5000) will also be closed Thursday and Friday for the holiday. English and Spanish speaking call takers will resume regular operations on Monday to answer questions related to COVID-19 vaccination, testing and preventive measures. Questions emailed to [email protected] over the holiday will also be responded to on Monday.
Humboldt County’s vaccination and testing services are available free of charge. Although walk-ins are allowed at most regular Public Health clinics and many pharmacy vaccination sites, a sharp increase in demand for boosters has caused delays at some locations. As a result, appointments are required for pediatric clinics and for clinics at Public Health’s main office. Appointments are strongly recommended for all other clinics and are the best way to ensure a shot is available during your visit. Appointments can be made at MyTurn.ca.gov.
Vaccines, including boosters, are available at local pharmacies. To check the availability of a specific vaccine, visit the vaccines.gov page, or text a ZIP code to 438829 to locate a nearby pharmacy offering vaccines.

And that makes 100 covid deaths in 2021. A grim milestone. Condolences to all their friends and families.
“Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
-Mark Twain-
The positivity rate is; 27.184466019417475728%
Good job on the graphic Ms Kemp….Appropriate for the hundredth death.
Only 100 covid deaths in a population of 130,000 after nearly two years? Pretty damn good I’d say, infinitely better than the crazy forecasts that shut us down two months last year.
🎅🎅Not so good to the family members of the victims. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
The world’s full of tradeoffs, cost vs benefit.
And other people’s costs don’t matter when it comes to your benefits?
That really does seem to be the mantra of far too many — “I don’t care if others suffer as long as I’m not inconvenienced.”
This and a mask should keep you safe.
https://www.amazon.com/Bionic-Shield-Clear-Polycarbonate-S8500/dp/B001VXXUWK/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2MJLOBRRWG5IJ&keywords=whole+head+face+shield&qid=1640193629&sprefix=whole+head+face+shield%2Caps%2C2398&sr=8-3
“ And other people’s costs don’t matter when it comes to your benefits?”
Thank you!!! This is exactly what we’ve been trying to tell you about forced vaccinations, especially in children. Bravo Tim, you’re finally seeing the light. Keep heading towards it.
Nice try at the double reverse spin on mental gymnastics.
I’ve never been in favor of forced vaccination and no one has even proposed doing so.
But that doesn’t mean people who choose to be unvaccinated should be free from the consequences of their choice. Especially when the cost of being vaccinated is very close to zero for an individual while the cost of getting COVID is significantly higher, both individually and collectively.
Is the only criteria for “forced” that it be physically imposed on you? Does eliminating access to essential services and the ability to support yourself not count as forcing? Because that is actively being championed these days.
When people say “mandates work”, what they mean is that denying people access to basic features of society is an effective way to force them to do something they otherwise wouldn’t .
As far as I can tell there are options for every essential service for those who choose to not get a vaccine or wear a mask.
They may be inconvenient options for some but that’s part of what I mean when I say choices have consequences.
I agree that what has been implemented in this country so far isn’t complete exclusion, yet. But when we look at what has been proposed and what has been implemented in places like Austria we have everything from complete exclusion from schools, employment, all indoor public spaces, possibly outdoor public spaces as well, and even severely limited access to basics like grocery shopping and medical care.
I suppose this level of access may meet a prison wardens definition of essential services, and it’s also very clearly a petulant attempt at punishing those who refuse to accept your “help”.
Lol, Okay you’re right, let’s call them coerced vaccinations.
“ But that doesn’t mean people who choose to be unvaccinated should be free from the consequences of their choice. Especially when the cost of being vaccinated is very close to zero for an individual while the cost of getting COVID is significantly higher, both individually and collectively.”
You just spoke of costs, now let’s talk benefits: what’s the benefit of getting vaccinated? You can still catch Covid and still end up in the hospital. 🤔
What’s the benefit of getting Covid: natural immunity, a more robust and more durable immune system. B and T cell immunity which adapts to future variants.
You can end up in the hospital with COVID after vaccination but the chance of that is much, much less than without vaccination.
While your immune system might end up with a robust response, you could also have a significant risk of long COVID which is much higher with unvaccinated people. So far I haven’t seen any evidence that disease-acquired immunity is more effective against variants than vaccine-acquired immune response.
Our immune systems are amazing but they aren’t perfect as evidenced by people throughout history who died from various diseases that their healthy immune systems couldn’t handle.
It’s society’s cost vs society’s benefit, not the individual’s gain or loss.
True but we still should wrap our heads around 100/135,000.
Makes me think about all the deaths that we are used to, like those from alcohol or obesity.
Where are those statistics?
how many in Humboldt died of CAUSES OTHER THAN COVID in the same time we’ve lost 100 to covid. 1500? Society doesn’t seem to get wound up over those losses.
Of course it stands to reason that the shutdown helped the numbers stay low. Estimate were excessive nonetheless.
Yep… “Low”…, 3.75 times more per capita deaths than the rest of the world? Shutdown = Smashing success?
hmm is right.
Still a grim milestone, no matter how you slice and dice it.
Over 2.8 million die each year due to obesity. That’s more than covid. Are governments going to mandate diets or food? Or do they only mandate drugs? The majority of obesity is preventable, maybe we fighting the wrong fight if covid thrives on obesity. It crazy how excluding an unvaccinated individual is acceptable, yet excluding an obese individual is discrimination.
Obesity isn’t a highly contagious disease. My choice to eat too much isn’t going to be something you catch standing next to me in the grocery store. (Please note I am not saying obesity isn’t a problem)
It is strange that many posting her seem to think it is a person’s unquestionable choice whether or not to get the vaccine, which protects everyone, as well as themselves. Yet they apparently think someone needs to dictate what people eat and how they exercise, which affects only the individual. There is a word for people that think that way. It starts with an “H.”
What goes around , comes around. Mark my words, obese people will come under harsh scrutiny, as the cost of feeding the world extracts too much from our save our planet mindset, and those who choose to over indulge will be the new parish’s of a new world mental disorder.
You will come to realize how important freedom of choice was before you thought you were untouchable.
Food Rations will come, be prepared to be punished for illegal stockpiling of food.
Under a state of emergency, the government might exercise its right to confiscate supplies from civilians.
https://crisisequipped.com/is-stockpiling-food-illegal-in-the-united-states/
How does that make you feel about emergency measures?
was that emergency declaration third party verified????
How many children have to go hungry so you can keep your plus size outfits?
Your turn is coming, only if to give some sweet anti vaccine revenge on the overweight lovers in the house.
Just when it seems that anti vaxxer trolls can’t get any more irrational, they dig to a new low. No child in the world goes hungry because someone else is over eating . Poverty is the main factor in child hunger. But the most immediate factor in child hunger and poverty are wars and conflicts. Children almost always get the short end of every resource while young males do the grabbing. And nasty minded conspiracists are big factors in conflicts- you know the ones who see the world in hateful, dog-in-the-manger terms where everyone is out to get them unless they do the getting first. The ones who apparently hoard massive amounts of food that poor starving children need…
“The New Low” is 58 billion combined budget of CDC,NIH, NIAID, along with the combined workforce at 31k of the CDC, and NIH…and not one single study on HERD Immunity.
Personally, I could care less about your waste Size, but the radical nature of others dictates on ones bodily autonomy should have everyone taking a pause.
If you are on the slippery slope of “mandatory vaccinations for thee, but no food rations for me”, you will find no quarter from the anti vaxxers you’ve been slinging mudd @.
Obese people are easy targets for those who believe your indulgences put you in a category of people who will soon be other’d as “dead weight of society”.
Trust me, everyone gets their turn in the hole.
Well, they are slow-moving and susceptible to bullying…
Kind of like America and other “rich”countries, hoarding the vaccines, gluttoning 4 shots each person, and not giving any to the poor countries who need it, right?
The driving force behind conflict is resource extraction. Those resources are generally used to provide for the decadent cultural life styles that lead to obesity. There is also the direct seizure of land to facilitate monocrop industrial agriculture to provide low quality calories for cheap to the industrialized world. Lots of children go hungry just so that we all can enjoy our petty luxuries
Your fault for dropping a litter, ya filthy breeder. You just want to duck out of work, dodge jury duty and mop up that sweet monthly EIC check. You’re downright unpatriotic.
This is practice for the next serious disease infection virus whatever 🤣🤣be ready just like that earthquake. Shit could get real serious real fast That earthquake didn’t do much damage same as covid. But it could happen real quick and there’s no vaccine to prevent either humans are so dumb. But life is fun☠️☠️
Wait, huh? What’s the word?
Human? No?
Horse puckey?
No?
Harsehole?? No?
Heavenly Father?
No?
Hippy? Is it them dirty hippies? NO? C’mon, what starts with a “H”?
obese people disproportionatly overburden our health care system the same as the unvaccinated, both adversely affecting access to health care for the rest of society.
The ‘vid shot doesn’t protect anybody. Pretending it does is delusional and extends everyone’s suffering, and you’re all for that.
Someone’s poor diet and lack
of exercise does effect everyone when the treatments raise insurance premiums or burden medics and hospitals with treating preventable issues. To top it off, many if not most of the serious covid complications (including death) are linked to poor health habits or comorbidites. As a result, heathy people are being forced to take vaccines or seriously impacted from shutdowns, loss of social interactions, and bullying from pro-vaccine people. Also it seems independent thought and choice are now under attack. Good job
It’s been scientifically proven that the obese in their chronic low grade inflamed state allow all infectious agents to thrive,
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22414338/
then they spew greater aerosols
when ill https://www.pnas.org/content/118/8/e2021830118
and when vaxxed , respond most poorly by generating few antibodies . https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02946-6#
So a person’s choice to overeat absolutely impacts others!
And obesity with its addiction to massive quantities of processed garbage is contagious! (Assuming you meant to say “isn’t contagious “Kym ) The dairy and meat lobbies in Washington and the super sized portions of sugar and processed starches common place in commercial fast food dives are the vectors. And children can and do “catch”
obesity ( shitty lifestyles) from their parents. Big fat mom and dad = 125 pound 5 year old.
Like everything in anti vaxxer land, a bit of truth is spun into absurdity. Yes,the truly fat likely do have more of those issues. But all the links you proved to support your obsessive fixation on fat say the same thing: they have a theory but nothing is quantified. But I agree that everyone who is fat should get vaccinated early and often. Being unvaccinated while fat is asking for it. It’s the unvaccinated, fat or not, who have driven hospitalizations to this point.
“But the story is different on our intensive care unit. Here, the patient population consists of a few vulnerable people with severe underlying health problems and a majority of fit, healthy, younger people unvaccinated by choice. ” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/21/icu-is-full-of-the-unvaccinated-my-patience-with-them-is-wearing-thin
You’re wasting your time and endless supply of words replying. But I’m feeling generous.
The XXL population have driven, and continue to drive this pandemic! Like it, or lump it. The hospitals and morgues continue to be heavy, with the heavy (and the aged, or chronically or terminally sick.)
But go on now, just twist it round and round all you like; pretending it’s the “fit, healthy,” (both subjective terms) younger people in the hospital.
And seriously , The Guardian? Oh, there’s are reliable source 😂 (And I must briefly address the definition of “unvaxxinated” AGAIN, which you and I both know could entail a person having received one or more of your sacrosanct jabolas.) The piece you link is basically an editorial. Real sound science right there.
To hold up and celebrate a population of persons in obvious overfed and ill health, to prolong your obsessive fixation with, and cast aspersions on, the “anti-vaxxer” in your head is just comical at this point. But carry on. Lord knows what you could accomplish if you used all that clickity-clacking to compose poetry or actual literature.
A simple strategy to use when making comments- blame fat people for dying and thus (the same percentage as the general population of) anti vaxxers can hold them responsible for their current predicament of having almost no excuse for refusing to get vaccinated for what they see as someone. Except for two problems- 1) there are countries with a very low rate of obesity and a high rate of covid deaths and there are countries with a high obesity rate and low covid death rates. And 2) even if a higher percentage of obese people die, that still leaves a fair segment of people dying who can’t be so easily targeted.
Unlike you, I no longer have any generosity left to expend on people who are so stupid and self centered as to say the things that anti vaxxers do. Who couldn`t use their brains to find their way out of a tunnel and finally found an idea, after a couple of years of absolute inanity in repeating the stupidest of self evident lies, that at least has one bit of truth that can’t be totally dismissed. Being overweight is not healthy. No reasonable person can say it is. The fact that alleging pandemic is all due to obesity is an absurd oversimplification but is also not as easily trashed as their earlier stupidities. And anti vaxxers are eager to latch onto the idea with the pig headness that they have latched onto all their other stupidities.
Oh nooooo.. a simple Google inquiry would tell you how wrong your thinking is.
And I’ve explained it before! You don’t listen!
“In the United States 36.5 percent of adults are obese. Another 32.5 percent of American adults are overweight. In all, more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese.” About 69%
YET close to 80% of hospitalizations are OVERWEIGHT and OBESE.
So anyone with basic math knowledge knows that it’s the overweight and obese
that are HOGGING *disproportionately* MORE hospital beds, more staff hours, and -in short , like they do every fucking day- more energy and resources.
[edit]
Yowser! Talk about heavy handed censorship.
Noooo’s endless “stupidity diatribe” with shit talking like,” people who are so stupid and self centered “. ..”Who couldn`t use their brains to find their way out of a tunnel “”…repeating the stupidest of self evident lies…” stands?
And my brief remark refusing to “go there” gets scrubbed.
Makes about a much sense as I’ve come to expect here. Bye.
The overweight account for more deaths from covid than their share of the population and you know it.
Moooooo misinformation.
There is not one single excuse for being obese by self infliction.
not one.
yet some of them feel justified in their ability to over consume.
yet this a pandemic of the unvaccinated?
the obese and unfit will wonder where all this ugliness came from.
stop eating.
https://gab.com/Cynthia_Holt/posts/107490147892865753
What brought you to RHBB?
There is no vaccine for stupidity.
When was the last time you saw definition on your frame ?
please allow me to correct your statement, to reflect a harsh reality.
‘the vaccine is for stupidity’
Maybe if obesity wasn’t such a HUGE problem, the death rate of covid would be so much lower it would not be a demic. The issue has been greatly magnified due to ones choice to glutney of overeating. In theory.
I’m sure that if the world were full of people who made good choices every time –say both getting the vaccination and eating healthy—the world would be a vastly better place.
Kym,
Do you happen to know exactly what the hospital capacity in Humboldt is? If not could you ask?
Was reported earlier that it’s 26 icu beds. Not sure about total capacity
Thank you.
Seems all the vaccines, masks, and distancing has done little to nothing to slow the covid spread, particularly of omicron which bypasses vaccine and natural immunities.
You want to bet. Since the obese are highly susceptible to Covid, fatties are walking vectors, vaxxed or unvaxxed. Vaxxed fatties are still getting the virus and spewing it everywhere as they waddle through the candy, soda, and chip section at Safeway. Additionally, fatties cause extreme discomfort in airplanes as their fat lumps squeeze out of their seats and invade other peoples seating arrangements, All in all, fatties are a virus which need to be eradicated or banned from all aspects of public life. Ban fatties from restaurants, bars, concerts, hospitals, and sports venues. Make fatties wear a mouth halter in public so as to prevent them from eating the entire buffet as they literally take food away from hungry, in shape fellow Americans. See how that works….Oh yea, ban fatties from any venue with large numbers of people in confined spaces as they pose a danger to others if they happen to trip and fall over, resulting in crushing asphyxiation and potential death for whomever they fall on. We can extend this madness to any subject and any person inAmerica. So, please keep cheerleading for your viewpoint, it will come for you one day given the authoritarian proclivities of the current, inept, and corrupt leaders currently in charge.
You are making a point so I’ll allow this kind of speech one time but don’t continue it.
🎅🎅I was wondering. ☃️☃️
Cheers for free speech, especially when it’s disagreeable!
His comment is lame but no worse whatsoever than the morons on here denigrating the ‘antivaxxers ‘.
If you’re not going to allow ‘ fat shaming’
Why allow hate speech against the Vax hesitant?
Or against the “Vax hording embiciles!” There’s plenty of folks spewing hate. The level of this comment went beyond the normal level.
Israel is hoarding vaccines, as is the US.
The people making that call are embiciles.
That’s not spewing hate it’s pointing out facts.
The WHO is against mandating vaccines and has spoken out about how ridiculous it is to give 3 and 4 doses to healthy people in rich countries while the elderly and vulnerable people in poor countries don’t have enough to be treated. During a world wide pandemic (endemic in reality), Israel has done little to vaccinate the vulnerable subjugated Palestinians they rule over.
Not spewing hate, I have several good friends from Israel and have nothing against the people there that aren’t zionist racists. Pointing out that their government, as well as ours, is embicilic for hoarding vaccines is not spewing hate.
Many regular commenters on here, the regular Vax nannies, have openly hoped for the death of the Vax hesitant people in our community. Cheered on the deaths of 1/3 of our community for not being vaccinated. Pure hate speech!
The fat shaming is lame, calling overweight people ‘fat’ is lame. Doesn’t compare at all to the hatespeech being spewed regularly, almost daily, and purely by the Vax pushing cowards in this comment section. I’m almost certain you wouldn’t allow that to stand if it was projected at overweight people, transgender people, homosexual people or any other group. Why do you allow it against the unvaxxed?
Why do you promote it against the vaxxed?
What are you talking about? I don’t promote hate against the vaxxed. I have zero, nada, zilch, nothing whatsoever against vaccinated people.
I take contention with people who ignorantly support mandating the injections of the vaccines. People who spew hate speech against unvaccinated people.
Honestly Kym, show me one single comment I’ve ever made promoting hate speech or hatred or even bad vibes against people who choose to be vaccinated and I’ll send you $500 bucks today. If you can’t find one, which you can’t, try answering my question instead of gaslighting me and please quit misrepresenting my words, again.
Thanks for the update Kym! Condolences to the family of the resident who died..
Israel is giving 4th Covid shot for those over 60 and health workers.
Booster shots every 6 months for life becoming a reality for some.
Yale research found only 10-20% of us have an over reactive immune system that makes covid symptoms a serious threat from an inflamed immune system. The immune systems of the other 80-90% beat it routinely with mild to no symptoms. Sounds like a few of us may need regular boosters but covid has never been a serious threat to most of us. Still, the vaccines pose minimal risk so still the best odds if you’re not sure which group you’re in.
Yeah. How do you know whether you are in the 10-20%?
You seem to have an issue providing links to your sources, but it is important to note that the study you cite is 19-months old – pre-Delta, pre-Omicron. The cytokine storms seemed to be most devastating when the virus attacked lung tissue. It now seems it has mutated to attack other areas of the respiratory system. Yet, people are still dying. But regardless, if you had to bet your life and had a one out of five or ten chance of losing, would you make the bet? Or buy insurance?
No vaccine and no insurance and no covid, crack me up, been all over the country and out of the country for the last 2 years. Wish everyone would shelter up again like the spring of 2020, airports were empty , vacations destinations were empty , was awesome traveling all over, this covid stuff been a real drag for the 50 and under group. 95 percent of fatalities over 65 years old, what makes us think we can live forever? A bad flu season is going to come through every now and again, no stopping it . Kind of like bad weather , no stopping it ,but some say science can. Yet to be done.
By travel the world do you actually mean the internet from the basement? The amount of accounts you use to post the same crap on this site and others makes me call bs on that statement. If you were the jet setter you portray yourself to be you’d have little time for the 50 clone accounts, bs propaganda and false narratives you peddle. Guess what? Covid isn’t just about death or survival. It’s also about the grey area. Its about suffering and injury in addition to death or full recovery. I know several people who have survived, but are not the same. For every death there are several who are injured by the illness, not to mention those who suffer long covid. Crack you up? You were never there. You haven’t seen people die from it. I assure you that there’s nothing funny about someone taking their last breath while choking on their own clogged lungs. The look in their eyes is of pure fear and desperation. Not to mention the burned out healthcare workers who’ve been going to battle for all of us each day without reprive for nearly two years now. Feel free to get in touch with your own humanity instead of poking fun at other’s misfortunes.
You have not seen a covid patient die on last breath. If you have I’m sorry. But as far as o know your not aloud to enter a covid patients room I believe the guy who’s traveled I expect you to most likely be in a bunker.
Who do you think takes care of people while they are dying? Hint: you need to be in the room.
The top minds here have assured me medical personnel just prod the dying ‘vid patients out into the parking lot with hockey sticks. It’s better than they deserve, but most people are too compassionate anyway.
Now yer a nurse?
Hint hint, pneumonia, I mean covid , are the same. Named the silent killer for a reason, majority die in their sleep, unless they are panicked into seeking a hospital, then a horrible end to a elders life happens. Apparently you didn’t travel during spring of 2020 , airports that were usually elbow to elbow ,empty. No covid test required , no vaxx, just smooth sailing. Sorry fogdog, I only post under the Ranger . Covid is a joke if your under 65 but so is pneumonia .
I’ve been all over too… Nothing going on but scared people
You need to check your stats.
https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2020/coronavirus-deaths-older-adults.html
The 95% figure is for 50 and older and in the US.
But, please, save your comment and, assuming you survive to reach 65, read it and maybe you will get a clue as to how selfish and entitled you sound to others.
Bon Voyage!
And cloud seeding doesn’t happen. It’s contrails
What??!!!??? I thought those were Yeti farts.
10 to 20 percent of ?????immune system inflammation blah blah Get your booster do whatever you want. You will see the outcome At least Vegas would bet you will. I’ll make you a bet. I’ll give you 100 bucks. I f I’m alive in ten years you give me a1000 I will not vaccinate This is a better bet than Bitcoin. I’m younger than 50. Older than 40 I’ll meet you anywhere. Ooh and I drink beer and inhale smoke. But I’m not obese. In your favor or Mabey not🤷🏼🤣🤣🤣
I am totally ok with that. I am 77. I take meds every day and will for the rest of my life. The drugs have made getting older easier. Ive had three jabs for covid, a flu shot and the one for pneumonia.And the only person who has any CONTROL over me is named Bunny.
You apparently require drugs daily for the rest of your life. Do you produce those drugs? If not, what would you do to obtain those drug? Do the manufacturers of those drugs have, at least, some control over you?
Or someone hooked on pharmix
Or someone hooked on pharmix.
When you stop being able to piss when you want to I guarantee you’ll be glad to have the remedy at hand.
If. Poor health is not inevitable. It is the result of a life of choices. We have a culture that grants you the luxury of purchasing relief from the results of your choices. The cost of those purchases is measured in both currency and personal liberty.
I honestly respect you more. I didn’t know you were that age. I respect whatever you do and say. You used to make me cringe but no more 🤣🤣I got the elders back
Dave. You sound like a responsible person but don’t forget your shingles vaccine.
My poor brother will be in excruciating pain for the rest of his life.
Vax hording embiciles!
Criminals have stolen close to $100 billion in pandemic relief funds, the U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday.
The stolen funds were diverted by fraudsters from the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program and a another program.
Recovered funds include more than $400 million from PayPal and Green Dot Corporation. The government has shelled out about $3.5 trillion in Covid relief money since early 2020, when the pandemic began
Mr fox, does the pandemic fraud include the 20 billion California lost to unemployment fraud? That average is a billion dollars a month, seems like our government is not very good at detecting fraudsters.
That’s peanuts compared to what criminals will steal from the Green New Deal
What Green New Deal? And how do you define “criminals?” I do not think an expensive tailored suit should exclude someone from contention. But I fully understand there are those that disagree – assuming the check clears the bank, of course.
Peanuts.
“Fossil Fuels Received $5.9 Trillion In Subsidies in 2020, Report Finds. Coal, oil, and natural gas received $5.9 trillion in subsidies in 2020 — or roughly $11 million every minute — according to a new analysis from the International Monetary Fund.”
These are the most profitable enterprises in the known history of the world – yet we throw taxpayer money at them like it is nothing.
Not that I am supportive of any fraud. But we need to choose our battles wisely and prioritize our goals.
The biggest industry in the world is the medical industry. They have more politicians in their pocket and have corrupted our democracy even more than the fossil fuel industry has. Funny how people notice the environmental destruction, government kickbacks and corruption associated with big oil but then think the medical industry is there to help. They think Fauci is lying to help us. Fauci is the highest paid mofo in the government and receives kickbacks for all vaccines WE have helped fund.
The biggest bullshit fraud in the history of the planet is happening and most people are so ignorant of it they cheer the assholes who created covid on and cheer as the billionares laugh all the way to the bank. Then the chickenshits denigrate those of us who see what is going on and refuse to play.
You remember when for over a decade the pharmaceutical industry pushed estrogen treatment, touting its many medicinal uses, making billions. Now it has proven to cause cancer and is labeled a carcinogen. Untold numbers of women got breast cancer from the treatment, it’s now linked to dementia and was touted as good for the brain. And people wonder why 1/3 of the country doesn’t trust the greedy bastards in the pharmaceutical industry. Just look at all the fucked up homeless junkies they created. Veterans hooked on painkillers to the point of being junkies, so the big pharma billionaires could make more money.
Open your eyes!
No sheet, you don’t say, OMG! Crack me up.
🎅🎅The definition of “endemic” :never ending.🦸♂️🦸♂️
Like the common cold?
🎅🎅There’s no herd immunity for the common cold, flu and now Covid. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
And Covid has way more severe outcomes…and cumulative damage if infected repeatedly.
It won’t over time. Can’t prove it, but I bet influenza started on a similar.
Says who? Link please
Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Don’t be afraid.
Yes don’t be afraid, but this saying is total BS when it comes to physical injuries. My youthful adventures ruined my joints and ligaments. Long haul covid people might also disagree.
I’ve never met a long haul Covid individual and probably never will
I never understood where they are hauling it to.
But then again…you dont get out much.
🎅🎅Not afraid just pointing out facts. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
“The common cold is generally not lethal, with some rare exceptions”, the Digital Health Lab explains. “The flu, which is deadlier than the common cold, killed 0.1% of the people who contracted it in 2019. It is still too early to discern accurate global death estimates for people who have contracted COVID-19, but estimates have ranged from 1% to 25% of all cases, depending on the country”.
The experts argue that a conservative death rate of 1% would therefore make COVID-19 at least 10 times as deadly as the flu, and therefore “significantly more lethal” than the common cold.

You’re article is from September 22, 2020. A lot has changed since then lol. Last I checked it was a .02% death rate , which by this article’s definition, The flu would be “significantly more lethal “ than covid.
Who the hell is arguing that covid has a greater than 1% fatality risk? Cdc puts it at 0.33%-0.4%
1% to 25% LOL. Bullshit!
The fucking CDC doesn’t even throw out bullshit numbers like that
Less than 2% are even hospitalized. Fact!
Without even doing research, which you obviously don’t unless you wanna count watching fake news as your research, do the math on the local data.
You’re off by a mile!
That’s not a definition that I’ve ever heard. I think it just means common or native to a specific area
“It’s a matter of getting people out to, ideally, get the vaccine,” Trump said. “If you have the mandate, the mandate will destroy people’s lives — it destroys people’s lives, just as the vaccine saves people.”
He added: “I think that it’s really a question of tone. It’s a question of trust, and hopefully, the people that have had COVID, hopefully they will be given credit for that.”
Thanks for that. A good example of what the nutball is all about.
Credit for what? Being dumb enough to get it once and not get vaccinated so you can get it again? Previous infection shows little to no protection against the now dominant omicron variant. In fact, the first person to die of omicron in the U.S. was a guy in texas that was unvaccinated, but that had a previous covid infection. Credit where credit is due. 🤦♂️
“ Previous infection shows little to no protection against the now dominant omicron variant.”
Neither does the vaccine
Wrong.
https://directorsblog.nih.gov/2021/12/14/the-latest-on-the-omicron-variant-and-vaccine-protection/
This is the first sentence in your article 😂🤣
“ Credit: Adapted from Pfizer, Dec. 8, 2021”
I stopped reading after that
That explains a lot.
You might want to force yourself to look at it again. The graph is adapted from Pfizer, not the article. But please revel in your ignorance.
Ya, ok Mr 1-25% death rate.
Ya, you’re not the ignorant one…LOL
Wrong. It protects from severe illness and death. That is pretty good protection A 3 shot series of mrna vaccines additionally offer 75%-80% protection against symptomatic disease. And…it’s free! A lot cheaper than 100k+ per day hospital stay.
But I didn’t have to go to the hospital and my Covid was mild. I’m not vaccinated either. So who is it protecting from severe illness and death?
You might want to check out the difference between anecdotal evidence and aggregate statistics.
What am I saying? You clearly have no interest in actual facts.
Kind of hard to believe the aggregate statistics when Pfizer is drawing the graphs
Very frightening, dang I’m unvaccinated too, crack me up.
Covid for me was just like any other flu. 99.5 percent or higher survival( higher or lower depending on your bio markers) vaccine last a few months then bye bye. Is it not obvious that I think most people expected a better vaccine??? I guess some have low standards. You can get better protection by changing your diet and lifestyle. But go ahead be a fool.
“Thanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America is one of the first countries to get the vaccine,” Biden said Tuesday. “Thanks to my administration, the hard work of Americans, we let, our roll-out, made America among the world leaders in getting shots in arms.”
Most of the thanks goes to the scientific community.
“Messenger RNA, or mRNA, was discovered in the early 1960s; research into how mRNA could be delivered into cells was developed in the 1970s.”
Those were the days when Trump was probably powdering his nose at Studio 54 and fighting his own private Vietnam avoiding STDs.

US Army Creates Single Vaccine Effective Against All COVID & SARS Variants, Researchers Say
Within weeks, Walter Reed researchers expect to announce that human trials show success against Omicron—and even future strains
https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2021/12/us-army-creates-single-vaccine-effective-against-all-covid-sars-variants/360089/
very interesting
Yes, finally that military budget going for something other than fighter jets or drones etc. etc. etc………..That budget for 2021 is $700 billion by the way. Yes that’s billion
With a combined Budget of 57/58 billion, between the CDC, NIH, NAIAD, and with 31k employees between the CDC AND NIH…
Not one study on herd stupidity?
Thanks for bringing that link!
Cautiously optimistic, but sounds promising
I feel better already, that Omnicrap has killed one American, it is off the hook. Glad they got a drug to treat that sniffle.
👍🏽
Now, just wait for the anti-gov anti-vax conspiracy crowd to run with this one! 😂 Ya know, the US Military (large socialist org) in cahoots with China (largest militant socialist country… great labs, too!). MAGA will run for the hillz, full guerrilla, to fight the zombie juicers, save Liberty, Freedom.
Nah I could care less I just enjoy how more stupid you vaxers look every day and every mutation. Keep lying to yourself. But honestly I do believe psychosomatics so I can see why the vaccine still works.
Fear/stress weakens your immune system. Time to stop talking about covid and how to live a healthier happy life. People like Rimme need to not talk if they dont have something positive to say. Or say it in real life. Vaxres seem real quiet in public considering they are the majority…
Wow!! There’s a lot going on inside your head
Well said.
Ya, fuck liberty and freedom, let’s all throw our trust into the one industrial complex that is even more corrupt and immoral than big pharma. The military!
Holy shit you guys have lost your fucking minds!
“…show success against Omicron— and even future strains…”
“Success against future strains”?
Uh oh!
Who has those to test on?
You gotta have access to the labs at Montauk to run the future tests.
Had to look up Montauk:
“A new [2017] study found that Montauk is the most most expensive beach destination in the United States.”
https://fortune.com/2017/07/29/most-expensive-beach-us-montauk/
Now I wanna go there. Like Jack Nicholson as The Joker said, “Wait’ll they get a load of me.”
The Montauk air force base (now abandoned I believe) is also home to a rumored military time travel project. Stranger Things seems to be loosely based on those stories.
I once worked with a guy who grew up there and he had stories of these strange people that seemed out of place and out of time that would show up at their parties from time to time.
🎅🎅”Future strains” I find that kind of funny. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
The vaccine was designed to address potential coronavirus variants and, unlike other Covid-19 vaccines, consists of a protein with 24 different faces on it, on which scientists can attach spike proteins from different variants that train the immune system to recognize many types of the virus, WRAIR researchers have explained.
🎅🎅Thank you for your explanation. ☃️☃️
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20210624/Scientists-predict-driver-mutations-of-future-SARS-CoV-2-variants-of-concern.aspx
A team of scientists from the USA has recently predicted the driver mutations that may appear in future variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The prediction is based on currently available genetic surveillance data on amino acid mutations present in SARS-CoV-2 variants. A detailed description of the study is currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server
Apparently the military does, surprised?
Oh, the military has a vaccine now, sign me up, they’re trustworthy. LOL!

There is no vaccine against stupidity.
Yes, you make that point every day.

We’re short covid testing kits? How could the Biden Administration fuck up so badly, as if intentional? Oh ya, midterms coming up so Dems think a mail ballot blast can save them from economy poll numbers worse than Jimmy Carter
Hard for me to watch him lecture us as he wipes his nose and coughs into his hands…can’t someone give him a hanky or a Kleenex?
Not just one or twice, but every time he’s on TV.
Talk about a spreader…..
Ummmm.
Didn’t you say to always “have a Swiss army knife…. incase you need to change a tire”?
Do have some life experiences that you would like to share about your perfections?
Smart lady. You have no idea.
Thank you.
Wasn’t that a Swiss army knife and a jug of water?

Romania- the poster child for anti vaxxers- ““I never thought, when I started this job, that I would live through something like this,” said Ionita. “I never thought such a catastrophe could happen, that we’d end up sending whole families to their graves.” Paranoid, nationalistic, violently religious partisanship and unvaxxed.

The jab has been pushed especially toward the elderly.
Then there’s Cuomo, pushed the ill into the nursing homes.
Then there’s the blackout of dissenting doctors and alternative treatments.
Then there are the libs that called the jab, “the kill shot” prior to being in office.
Yet you pretend there’s no reason for doubt.
Personally, I am tired of yall’s whining. If you want to die, go ahead, just leave other people out of it. And don’t go to the hospital since you think they are lying to you. Why would you trust a doctor at the hospital but not with the well vetted vaccine? Dumb. I feel great empathy for all the orphaned children though, regardless of how reckless their parents were, they were their parents.
I didn’t ask you to read my post.
Feel free to bypass them if you don’t like them.
Why do we want to die? We are probably healthier than you hence why we don’t want a vaccine? So who wants to die? If anyone has omiCON let me know I need my booster.
Good lord. And I thought anti Trumpers never let any trivial thing not be misused. Perspective is needed.
We have a different opinion of what’s trivial.

Breaking: Gen. Flynn Files Restraining Order Against Pelosi – We Have the Actual Court Docs
Published December 21, 2021 at 10:57am
Gen. Michael Flynn has filed a complaint to stop a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. He also filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction specifically against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
The filed complaint named all nine members of the Select Committee as defendants; the filed motion named Pelosi as the single defendant.
Flynn served under former President Donald Trump for only a few weeks at the beginning of the administration, resigning on Feb. 13, 2017. But the House committee looking into the events of Jan. 6 have unexpectedly focused on Flynn in their investigation.

Someone called a coup but they all forgot to bring their guns? Sounds far fetched, only believed by the same leftist haters that put our country in the hands of senile old goat Brandon.
🙄great example of TDS!
