One Death, 77 New Cases Since Wednesday
Press release from Humboldt County Public Health:
Humboldt County Public Health reported today the death of a resident in their 70s due to COVID-19. Staff in the Department Operations Center extend their condolences to all who have lost a loved one to the virus.
An additional 77 new positive cases of COVID-19 were reported since Wednesday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the county to 19,698. No new hospitalizations were reported.
California ended its statewide indoor mask mandate for unvaccinated individuals on March 1, but state and local health officials continue to strongly recommend masks indoors regardless of vaccination status.
State masking guidance for schools is changing March 12. Parents with questions about how their school will implement this new guidance should contact their school or school district.
Since the last data update on Feb. 25, the county has recorded 206 new cases of COVID-19. Two deaths of residents due to COVID-19, both unvaccinated, were reported. One new hospitalization of an unvaccinated individual aged 80 or older was also reported.
Severe outcomes from COVID-19 continue to be higher among unvaccinated individuals. The graphs below depict average weekly case rates and weekly hospitalizations and deaths in unvaccinated and fully vaccinated local residents.
As depicted in the graph above for the period from May 30, 2021 to Feb. 20, 2022, 18 deaths of fully vaccinated Humboldt County residents from COVID-19 were reported. The average age of those deaths was 79. During that same period, 59 deaths of unvaccinated residents were reported. The average age of those deaths was 68. During that same period, 74 fully vaccinated residents were hospitalized with an average age of 73. An additional 281 unvaccinated individuals were hospitalized with an average age of 59. View a more detailed depiction of the hospitalization and death rates graph here.
The current seven-day average case rate in Humboldt County is approximately 20, meaning that for every 100,000 residents, approximately 20 tested positive daily over the last seven days. Case rates vary considerably by vaccination status, as illustrated in the graph below, which depicts average weekly case rates since January 2021 in unvaccinated and fully vaccinated residents.
The most recent seven-day average case rate for the period ending Feb. 20, is 13 per 100,000 residents for fully vaccinated and 11 per 100,000 residents for unvaccinated individuals. View a more detailed depiction of the case rate graph here. Local data varies from state and federal data that show case rates are 2 to 5 times higher in unvaccinated individuals.
This week, the Joint Information Center (JIC) began issuing Case Count news releases and Data Dashboard updates three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The JIC Call Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed from noon to 1 p.m. for lunch. Additional scheduling reductions are planned.
Residents, particularly those who are unvaccinated, are urged to continue to take protective measures against COVID-19 by washing hands frequently, socially distancing, wearing a well-fitted mask and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.
The California Department of Public Health continues to stress that COVID-19 vaccine is preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death and urge Californians to get vaccinated and boosted as soon as possible. State health officials recommend that every vaccinated person 12 years or older get a booster as long as they received their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least five months ago or they received their Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago.
Moderately to severely immunocompromised individuals should get all doses in the vaccine series, which is one more than someone who is not immunocompromised. They are also strongly recommended to get a booster three months after the third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two months after receiving the second dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Individuals should stay home and away from others and get tested if they become sick or experience COVID-19 symptoms that may include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue or muscle aches.
Vaccines remain readily available and, as always, Humboldt County’s vaccination and testing services are available free of charge. While walk-ins are allowed at all Public Health clinics and some pharmacy vaccination sites, appointments are recommended for all vaccinations 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 your ZIP code to 438829 to locate a nearby pharmacy offering vaccines.

And Earth is Her garden. We are but small pests in that garden…..
Once again thanks Dr. Hoffman. Stepping in at a time most wouldn’t. Juggling multiple aspects of the Covid19 pandemic. Overseeing obtaining vaccines, setting up clinics, testing sites, ensuring the safety of health care workers and others. Also keeping abreast of lastest guidelines from the state and CDC. I am sure I am leaving out a lot more he was dealing with. A lot of things to handle and done quietly and calmly. And making public health a top priority.
The daily positivity rate is:
26.013513513513514%
RIP poor soul.
Meanwhile our Lame Duck in Chief intends to sign off on a Russian brokered deal lifting sanctions, delivering billions $, and providing Iran a pathway to nuclear weapons. What do we get in return? Iranian oil to replace the domestic production curtailed by Biden’s war on fossil fuels. Why not just open our domestic spigot and hasten the Keystone? Is this another aftereffect of Biden’s Ukraine Blunder? A switch from Russian to Iranian oil dependence?
Lame duck, Um, he’s a tad under 3 years left to drive ya BDS deeper into the fur, lol. Meanwhile, the Tucker Convoy wing dingers. (Amazing how they so happy to drive drive drive their fat rigs everywhere, them fuel prices forgotten, gee).
Those Tuckers now allege Trump and Putin are secretly working together to stop bioweapons from being made by Dr. Anthony Fauci in Ukraine and that shelling in Ukraine has targeted the secret laboratories. Can’t make this shit up. But they do. How many MAQA here on this site, we can guess at some likely regulars.
Oh God! Anything but the secret laboratories..
Didn’t the US operate black sites in Ukraine?
Interesting discussion about this with a Russian history/political scholar on a recent Jimmy Dore podcast.
Lame Duck is that period when a President can’t get support to advance their agenda. Biden’s earlier in his term then most but nevertheless here he is, unconvincing and ineffective. Even Putin knew it.
Is that why Putin went on TV begging the rest of the world to stop putting sanctions on Russia? Because President Biden is unconvincing and ineffective?
Or maybe it was because the ruble is now worth less than a penny because of the US and European sanctions imposed on Russia were actually convincing and effective.
And will you still call it a win if we emerge with a Ruso-Sino axis and the Yuan a competitive world reserve currency?
Ever changing the narrative when effectively addressed by someone. Notice that.
In other news:
Pence is expected to call on the Biden administration to take stronger actions against Russia.
“Putin only understands strength. As members of the party that won the Cold War, we must send a deafening message: Putin must stop or Putin must pay,” an excerpt from Pence’s speech reads.
“We must demand this administration increases military spending immediately, (arm) Ukraine with lethal weapons to counter Russian armor and aircraft and President (Joe) Biden should sanction all Russian oil exports.
Ahh, the scent of a man who’s seen the light … after getting hunted by his bosses Jan6 street urchins. When will the rest of the Party, that small wingnut faction, join in, oh when, in calling out the brotherhood of despots, both here in USA and abroad.
You’re rather cavalier about a shooting war with Russia considering they’ve got a big gun they’d use if backed into a corner. Then we lob a hundred warheads in return?
Fortunately major cities in Europe and our coasts will be targeted, not backwoods Humboldt, and our winds are favorable. Let’s get him Brandon!
Ha. The “provocation” was Russia waging war on a sovereign European nation, murdering thousands, displacing millions, destroying Billion$ in infrastructure, wrecking the economy, inflicting trauma on hundreds of thousands of kids, nuc reactors under threat, the list goes on. What is it with brain-neutered Americans? Too soft, too much TV and Hollywood.
“Fortunately major cities in Europe and our coasts will be targeted, not backwoods”, you write.
Translation: Me/Myself/I will be safe, in backwoods NorCal, if the USA doesn’t kiss Putin’s ass.”
Finland just reached out to the USA, to increase military relations. A majority of Finns now want to join NATO. Support for Sweden joining NATO is rising. Putin, that egomaniac doing a number on the world and his people? He’s now a bonafide war criminal, Russia is a renewed pariah nation. Other result? A strengthening of the EU and NATO, China seeing the West is not splitting but re-grouping, and current ‘24 GOP front runner, Trump, looking additionally moronic.
Biden could have avoided all this by promising Ukraine wouldn’t be allowed in NATO. But he’s got the Obama foreign policy crew running this operation, but their Russian hate has clouded their judgement. We would never have gotten to this place, Ukraine War and impending recession, with proper decisions from our WH. Ukraine isn’t of much strategic interest to America’s security.
Donny saw Ukraine different than you, even temporarily costing Ukraine $400 million in military aid (talk about signaling Putin!). Got him impeached the first time. Or did you conveniently forget all the above?
Actual Republican hawk, John Bolton (Trumps own National Security advisor) was recently asked if he was satisfied by how Trump handled Ukraine:
“I think it went very badly. It was hard to have discussions (with Trump) on geostrategic issues when the president’s main interest was getting… Rudy Giuliani in to see Zelensky so they could go find Hillary Clinton’s computer server.”
Bolton goes on:
“In a second Trump term, I think he (Trump) may well have withdrawn from NATO. And I think Putin was waiting for that.”
Ukraine has not been a front-and-center issue for the USA prior to Bye-Don? Gong. Take up golf.
So what’s the strategic interest in Ukraine? Domino Theory?
Even Zellensky says Biden screwed up, bringing sanctions and munitions too late to thwart the invasion. We expect our leadership team to prevent wars like this but Biden has failed miserably.
Ah, now saying sanctions and munitions should have occurred earlier. Should involve, should not involve, should involve, should not involve. Trying to have it both ways. At this stage, chasing yer own tail. Need for attention: strong. I hear grandkids help for that, will keep a person focused and active!
Hilarious, now you spread war mongering propaganda from the disgraced John Bolton. He was sad that Trump didn’t start this war earlier. You quote Lindsay Graham and John Bolton ?
Literally the biggest war hawks in Washington. I bet you saw him on CNN, amiright?
Why won’t Biden declare our policy is in immediate energy independence, an “all of the above” approach including all available sources: solar, wind, fossil, nuclear, hydrogen, etc? Biden’s hesitation is spurring hyperinflation and economic recession that’ll devastate Americans. Concern about Climate Change won’t matter much in Biden’s post apocalyptic world.
Sigh. So entertaining! Do we need to post charts again, showing Obama-Biden increased domestic energy production through the roof (oil, solar, wind, more) to reduce reliance on foreign oil. And Bye-Don has proven policy on the books to continue ramping up electric energy production. Hahaha, facts are fun.
Fewer mask/vax issues to raise, Putin hands Joe world unity, Tucker convoy crowd looking silly. And the current GOP front-runner Trump, he’s facing criminal charges for, among other things, inspiring what Republican Senate Leader McConnell called an Insurrection. Certain RW factions should really look inward more, draining their swamp, putting forward for mid-terms some intelligent Conservatives … instead of Donny Jr. Jackboot RINO’s.
US currently imports 2% of Russian oil. Company’s cut back production, and for some reason nobody wants to blame the greedy oil CEO’s for the price increase here in Humboldt.
Wow career politicians spending more money on war. The wheels on the bus go round and round
“sanctions imposed on Russia were actually convincing and effective.”
Yes, I can see the tanks turning around now-LOL! Effective at what????
Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s destroy our own oil production and buy$70 million a day of dirty oil from Russia. That oughta show em.
Liberalism is a mental disorder!
Looking pretty effective:
Russia’s second largest oil company, Lukoil, just broke ranks with Vlad by “calling for the soonest termination of the armed conflict”
and
“We express our sincere empathy for all victims (that’d be the Ukrainian people), who are affected by this tragedy. We strongly support a lasting ceasefire and a settlement of problems through serious negotiations and diplomacy,” the board added.
Trajedy, they said. When will certain Americans see the light. The USA, the EU, other nations, they all tried diplomacy to discourage Russia, an Autocracy, from invading a sovereign nation, and a Democracy. Even Tucker is waking up to the tragedy Putin has caused. But go ahead, double-down, what Donny does.
“Sovereign nation”
Why is the Left so concerned with another nation’s sovereignty but not our own?
The Biden Administration* LIFTED sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline last year. Now, the Administration* is hailing Germany for halting it. Why did Brandon impose sanctions on his own country by halting the Keystone XL pipeline?
“Liberalism is a mental disorder!” -Dr. Michael Savage
“Why is the Left so concerned with another nation’s sovereignty but not our own?”
Why do the hard right make things up and spread it online?
Why does the hard left want an unsecured American border but whines about the breach of an oligarchy’s border and deflect when they’re called out on it?
Um, cuz Mexico and Central Americans didn’t amass 170,000 troops and military hardware on the border then rush in, murdering thousands, displaying millions, blowing up infrastructure?
Sorry, but as to war on Ukraine it’s most of the country, and the world, against the logic and mindset of small number of rightwing Americans (hung up on our southern border and associated immigration issues).
No one said Central America and Mexico amassed armed forces and breached our border. It’s even worse that a weak democratic administration* allowed our border to be breached by unarmed infiltrators under the guise of a false crisis.
An administration* that cannot stop an unarmed invasion of it’s own country has no business speaking out about the armed invasion of another country.
And why do the hard left make things up and spread them online?
Come on Rimme, you know they are equally invested in ownership of the narrative, freedom of the press is at risk all the way around.
Ask them. I’m more a centrist, don’t view or listen to “entertainers” other side.
You just said absolutely nothing. SO WHAT if an oil company “broke ranks”, whatever the fuck that means. We are still massively contributing to the funding of this war when we can and should produce our own.
Liberalism is a mental disorder!
So what? Whatever “broke ranks” means? Must be kidding me. Clue in to Russian politics. Large (large) Russian oil company bucks the narrative of its dictator and you don’t see the significance. Says volumes.
Let’s see that graph relative to overall US consumption, you know, the around 20 million barrels a day we use. The Russian oil is about 3.5% at the peak.
Should we stop it until Putin stops this war? Certainly. But it will mean an increase in prices at the pump. I’m okay with that.
Prices already went up at the pump and we’re still buying Russian oil… till June 2024. why is that? When the price of a barrel goes up, Putin makes more $.. Hunter does too
So prices are up and yet nothing has changed on the supply side yet. Hmm, I wonder who could be benefiting? Oil companies? Speculators?
Russia, OPEC, Iran?
Gas prices are up 40 cents in just the last week yet the Biden administration refuses to consider increased domestic production. Biden is hell bent on sending us into the Biden Recession. First he brought us record Bidenflation now he’ll pile on a recession on our backs and our economy will be FUBAR, requiring increasingly more costly deficit borrowing.
Agreed, this is a direct result of the policies of the Biden administration, and has nothing to do with the war on Ukraine.
“Let’s see that graph relative to overall US consumption”
Typical liberal response. Quick google search with ZERO introspect. Even if the 3.5% was true, you are excluding gas imports. And it’s irrelevant anyway (obviously), the POINT is that we are funding this war unnecessarily. Even if there was NO war, why import gas and oil and enrich enemies around the world buying a dirtier product when we can produce our own? Political theatre (virtue signaling) that’s why. Liberalism is a mental disorder!

Sorry, I missed Putin “on TV begging”. Do you have a link or is that just made up?
Amazing, the downvotes on this. Some folk, zip in zee head.
Energy independence is critical to our national security yet senile uncle Joe is being lead by the nose by the greenies leaving us dependent on Putin in Russia, next the mullahs in Iran, to keep our country running. Even then it’s only while enduring hyper Bidenflation that’s crippling hard working American families. The Germans learned the lesson the hard way and apparently slow Joe intends to inflict severe economic pain on us as well.
Ted Cruz rolls out the “Energy Freedom Act”, showing a penchant for kicking Brandon when he’s down. With Americans suffering from a hard pinch at the pump, how is it going to look if Democrats vote no on this bill come mid-terms?
The Biden Administration* is so out of touch with mainstream America, that even the MSN is piling on.
“Let’s Go, Brandon!”
There’s a distinct difference between energy independence and the overwhelming desire for cheap gas so we can continue to drive inefficient SUVs and trucks.
We have neither energy independence, nor cheap gas at the moment
The US is at just about the break-even point between oil imports and exports so claiming we aren’t energy independent is a bit specious.
And the main reason we still drive so many SUVs and trucks that get shitty fuel mileage is because we’ve been addicted to cheap gas. Jimmy Carter tried to steer us towards more efficiency in the 1970’s and he got laughed at. How much further ahead would we be now if we’d taken it seriously?
The current cry for energy independence from the right-wing is really just an attempt to bring back oil subsidies for companies that had a net profit of over $200 billion last year alone and relax pollution regulations on drilling and production so they can make even more money while trashing the environment. That’s all it is.
“Here’s the reality: We will still be burning oil and gas to heat our homes and generate our electricity for years to come. We can either produce those fuels at home or, like Europe, import them from abroad.
Since Biden became president, he has clearly chosen the latter path; this is a grave mistake. In thrall to well-heeled and noisy climate activists, Biden has set about junking one of America’s greatest geopolitical advantages – abundant, cheap energy – in a reckless quest to drive down carbon emissions.
A quest, by the way, that even the president admitted was pointless. Last April, Biden acknowledged that 85 percent of emissions come from outside the U.S. and confessed, “That’s why I kept my commitment to rejoin the Paris accord, because [even] if we do everything perfectly, it’s not going to matter.” He was correct. Whatever we do will be overwhelmed by increased emissions from China and India.
Even as Russian tanks lined up on the Ukraine border, Biden’s administration froze U.S. drilling on federal lands and slapped on rules making it even more difficult to build natural gas pipelines. What can they be thinking?
Are they not concerned that voters rank inflation as their number one concern, and that the 48 percent spike in oil prices from last year is a major driver of Americans’ rising cost of living?
Does Biden want to empower Russian President Vladimir Putin via higher oil prices? Since 36 percent of Russia’s federal budget comes from sales of oil and gas, every jump in oil prices – and every incremental barrel he sells instead of the U.S. – is a windfall for Putin. We are currently producing about one million barrels of oil a day less than we did in 2019; that buys a lot of tanks.
The White House remains committed to Biden’s pledge that the U.S. will cut emissions by 50 percent to 52 percent by 2030. That near doubling of President Obama’s 2015 emissions goal (a target we are not even close to meeting) is unrealistic and dangerous, requiring policies as foolhardy as those now undermining the sovereignty of a European country.
This past summer revealed the risks of Europe’s rushed transition away from oil and gas, as the wind stopped blowing for about six weeks in the North Sea, causing an energy shortfall and panicky search for alternatives.
About one quarter of U.K.’s electricity is generated by offshore wind towers; the resulting shortages drove natural gas prices in the UK up six-fold and doubled electricity costs overnight.
The damage spread to Europe, driving Germany to unsuccessfully beg Putin for more natural gas exports and setting off a mad scramble for additional supplies. With Europe dependent on Russia for 38 percent of its natural gas supplies, the stage was set for the Ukraine showdown.
Democrats in the U.S. also want to rapidly move away from fossil fuels, including relatively clean natural gas, even though we lack the infrastructure to do so. As we have seen in Europe, the transition carries risks; it can even lead to war.
Does the Biden team know what they are doing?
Apparently not. For instance, Biden has set a goal to make half of all new vehicles sold by 2030 zero-emissions vehicles. It is an absurd target and also expensive, since taxpayers still subsidize electric vehicles (EVs). As the Manhattan Institute’s Mark Mills has reported, we have neither the infrastructure (massive numbers of new charging stations) nor the raw materials to accomplish such a transition.
Further, it is not clear that electric vehicles will save the planet. The energy required to produce the powerful battery and supply the electricity that drives the car may actually drive emissions up, not down, as a French study determined last year. Encouraging GM to manufacture EVs may do more for Joe Biden’s standing with climate activists than it does for clean air.
The media is already circling the wagons, claiming that rising gas prices are the fault of Putin and not Biden’s hapless policies. CBS is blaming Ukraine tensions not only for higher gasoline prices but rising inflation in general.
Americans are not that gullible. They know inflation has been increasing for months, thanks to a behind-the-curve Federal Reserve and big-spending policies that have overheated an economy that was already growing rapidly as the country reopened.
They may blame Putin, but polling shows that voters think the buck ultimately stops at President Biden’s door, as it should.

Biden’s job was to prevent the Russian invasion. He’s clearly failed (again!)
A solar powered plant couldn’t even build a solar power plant. But yeah sure, lets have our food delivered and houses built with “efficient” battery powered semis and bulldozers. Derrrp!
Already covered it for you, how’s the cognitive decline going? It’s 3% (and diminishing) USA imports from Russia and now GOP-led effort to ban even that. But ya already forget that, yet again? ?
wait, what’s this article about again? mlr the giant troll
‘Keystone’? Are you fucking kidding me?
Did you see gasoline prices jump today? That’s Bidenflation – a direct result of Joe’s policies. Let’s just pray senile uncle Joe doesn’t cause a nuclear war with further missteps,
but I gotta say, he’s got a pretty bad track record.
Biden’s approval rating jumps to 47 percent after State of the Union address
The poll also found Biden’s approval rating is on the upswing on issues like Ukraine and COVID-19. Fifty-five percent of Americans approve of how he is handling the coronavirus pandemic, up from 47 percent in February.
Fifty-two percent approve of how he is handling the situation with Russia and Ukraine, up from 34 percent in February when tensions were simmering but Russia had not yet launched its invasion.
An overwhelming majority of Americans surveyed – 83 percent – also supported the United States’ and other allies’ economic sanctions against Russia.
The Hill
Biden’s on the upswing! He’ll pull out the midterms for sure.
That escalated quickly!
Yes but others can be successfully infected.
I’m assuming this will land Joe Mota on permanent monitoring status like the rest of us with wrongthink? Jus kiddin, some animals are more equal than others.
My, my. All the way up to less than half, you say.

On-again off-again Trump-lover, Lindsey Graham, asks “Is there a Brutus in Russia? The only way this (war on Ukraine) ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy (Putin) out. You would be doing your country — and the world — a great service.”
Poor Trumplicans, both hardcore and wishy-Lindsey-washy, just imploding all directions. But at least Lindsey, an old school goper … till he dated the Donny, at least Lindsey knows Putin is an Authoritarian crackpot who cares not how many die in his zeal to go
back, back, back to the USSR ?
Well written, glad you’re here, Rimme
?

Listen to yourself, singing praises for the war monger Lindsay Graham. When has he ever been against a war? Gross. Only ignorant tools of the military industrial complex are pushing for escalating with Russia. Their brainwashed followers cheer on escalating shit .
We escalate shit further we could end up in WW3. Are you that stupid?
Graham also thinks disobedient women should just shut up. What’s not to love?
You missed it, Farmer, once again. I didn’t praise Graham, simply noted his old gop roots and he knows Putin is way dangerous.
The US “escalating” twist you insert? The USA, the EU, most everyone, for weeks asked and warned Russia not to invade, bomb, and murder the Ukraine. Russia created the tension then escalated into war. The USA, the EU, Ukraine, The World, said everyday for weeks and weeks “Don’t invade”. Now they say to Russia “Stop and get out”, which is kinda opposite of escalation. Point, clear as a bell, is nobody but Putin is actually escalating. The USA, Ukraine itself, the EU, 140 other countries, are in at least general alignment as to current policy toward Putin.
The poor Russian people, under Putin. He really fucked them over this time.
My question is: why did the price jump? In the oil game it’s business as usual until June 2024. We are being lied to
KEY POINTS
The U.S. Treasury Department clarified Friday afternoon that Wall Street’s traders and banks can continue to buy and sell Russian oil and gas.
Treasury underscored in a post that the U.S. sanctions against Russia’s biggest banks — including VTB Bank — do not apply to energy transactions until June 24.
“In general, energy-related activities — including the purchase, sale, or transport of Russian-origin oil, gas, or other energy-related products by U.S. or non-U.S. persons — remain permissible,” Treasury said.

Nice! By 6/24, Russia will have annexed Ukraine and it buys Putin time to find other consumers for his product or negotiate terms with Europe and the US once the spin cycle comes to an end. Pretty sure that’s why the Biden Administration* gave him that time frame.
Did you see the Ukrainians on Snake Island all survived and were captured, the three assassination attempts, and all these assassins killed?

Umm, are you having trouble with reading comprehension?
That video clip was from Palestine.
Oil prices jumped because oil companies never pass up on any excuse to jack prices up and make exorbitant windfall profits.
Never let a good crisis go to waste is their motto…
LOL! Riiiiight, speculators too huh? Weird, the greedy grocery producers and raw materials producers seem to have colluded with the “speculators” at the exact same time.
I’m certain is has nothing to do with money printing for “free” shit and that we can go on indefinitely paying for illegal aliens, welfare, “free” health care, “free” college. It’ll be fine.

While on a long flat wide no human in sight beach yesterday, I noticed my dog about 100 yds away ahead of me was rolling around on a black immobile. object. When I caught up to him, I noticed the black object was a headless seal that looked like a liquified blob of blubber and he was so happy with a huge grin with fat dripping off his face. Why do dogs like rolling around in such gross stuff? Then I thought about the over the top reaction of certain humans to the wuhan flu over the last two years and their penchant for lockdown and control. Makes sense.

The poor liar Fauci can’t get media face time now that he’s been exposed. Did you see his latest media appearance, talking about vaccinating a trillion bats? How long does that take and imagine holding a bat and sticking it with a needle?
I’ll send him an email, that an easy handful of batty can be found here on comment board.
My cat is a true a#$hole bc he will pull down a wet dish towel hung on the handle of the stove, roll around in it just to get a nice mildewy aroma going.
I respect him more and he smells better, than most of the horsesh#t politicians,world leaders, elitists, big pharma, corporate resource guzzlers, wide eyed terrified hard left leaning Liberals or hard right leaning Republicans try to sell as truth at times.
Just staying with the gross animal analogy here.?

Cool story! ?
Vaxxed case rates are now significantly higher than for natural folks. Every day this is more and more a pandemic of the vaccinated.
Exactly! It’s a pandemic of the vaxxed.
But the 2 people who died and the 1 hospitalized were unvaccinated. Let the speculation begin.
This was reluctantly released a day or two by a judge’s order. Seems Pfizer wanted to wait 75 years or so. I wonder why . . .Just scroll down to page 30 for starters. The side effects are listed alphabetically.
Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports

Pfizer
https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf
This is just one of the thousand documents requested. No, Pfizer did not say it should be held forv75 years- the part of the FDA that reviews documents prior to being released said it would takevdecades to get through them all. This document is just an analysis of what is on VAERS for public scrutiny already and it includes the same warning that being reported does not mean caused by vaccines.
I’ve been waiting for your retort!
Needless to say, the facts are damning.
My prayers for humanity.
There is no need for any fact at all for anti vaxxers to proceed with damning vaccines. That is the sole purpose for which they exist.
Nothing to see here – move along.
Judge Tosses 75 Year FDA Delay, Orders Pfizer Vaccine Data Released in 8 Months
uspresidentialelectionnews.com/2022/01/judge-tosses-75-year-fda-delay-orders-pfizer-vaccine-data-released-in-8-months/
From the judges ruling on the release of the 55,000 documents requested – “Here, the court recognizes the ‘unduly burdensome’ challenges that this [Freedom of Information Act] request may present to the FDA,” the court ruling noted. “But, as expressed at the scheduling conference, there may not be a ‘more important issue at the Food and Drug Administration … than the pandemic, the Pfizer vaccine, getting every American vaccinated, [and] making sure that the American public is assured that this was not rush[ed] on behalf of the United States.” ”

Of course that is not going to be the result. The result will be endless propaganda from the anti vaxxer mill that will generate continuing income for them for years, fodder for reporters to turn into views on the output of anti vaxxers and serious suppression of any future research because of the American Bar Associations desire to keep the incomes of lawyers at high levels. How American can it possibly be.
I thought vaccine makers had legal immunity.
A Yale professor seemed to think the data was important.
“Critics Outraged by FDA Request to Hide Pfizer Vaccine Data for 55 Years
Critics derided the Food and Drug Administration’s request this week for a court to grant it 55 years to release data on Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine.
Yale Professor Dr. Harvey Risch and the University of California’s Dr. Aaron Kheriaty and Dr. Peter McCullough filed a Freedom of Information Act request asking the FDA for the data in August, and their group, the Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency, filed a lawsuit requesting the data in September. The agency this week told a court that it had found about 329,000 pages of responsive information, but that it would like to release just 500 pages each month — giving it until 2076 to complete the request. The FDA took just more than 10 weeks, by contrast, to review the data before it approved the vaccine.”

It also says this
“Reports are submitted voluntarily, and the magnitude of underreporting is unknown.
Some of the factors that may influence whether an event is reported include: length of
time since marketing, market share of the drug, publicity about a drug or an AE,
seriousness of the reaction, regulatory actions, awareness by health professionals and
consumers of adverse drug event reporting, and litigation.”
Also, it’s not a rehash of vaers data. It is a report on adverse events reports sent directly to Pfizer from around the world. This document only covers the first 2 months of vaccine availability.
“Also, it’s not a rehash of vaers data. It is a report on adverse events reports sent directly to Pfizer from around the world.”
Crickets, or the usual: you’re an anti vaxxer conspiracy theorist.

What is more likely under reported? A sore arm or a death? In fact, while there are reasons for underreporting, there are also reasons for over reporting. The VAERS system take reports from anyone. “The database makes for gruesome reading, with side-effects of the vaccine appearing to include brain death, herpes and even one case of a gunshot wound. Quite the vaccine. These statistics are, of course, patently false.” VAERS has become a misused tool of anti vaxxers everywhere.
https://harvardpolitics.com/cdc-database-misinformation/
“All that said, back to the intro, this article is not meant to say that vaccines are completely safe or unsafe. But the claims that the Covid-19 vaccines are unsafe based on what has been reported to VAERS are simply misleading.” https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/underreporting-and-post-vaccine-deaths-in-vaccine-adverse-event-reporting-system-vaers-explained-14fe22b2a65f
I’ve provided a number of studies that indicate undercounting, including of more serious side effects, is the norm. In fact, that massive undercounting is the norm. In response, you’ve provided…*checks notes*… opinion pieces asserting that it’s actually all bs and vaers is actually massively overstating any problems.
When the cdc hired a Dr to do an analysis 10 years ago he found chronic and severe under reporting and the cdc decided to…not follow up. When Massachusetts General hospital looked at anaphylaxis in their employee population they found that based on their active survey the vaers system was capturing between 0.7-2.4% of anaphylaxis events.
You’re thoughtful response…”we found 1 case of a gunshot wound!”
Weird that you don’t apply that same logic to covid death stats. Well, not weird. Predictable, and sad
I guess when you can no longer articulate a tenable argument it’s time to do what the rest of the vaccine cult does, copy and paste.
Correct. If somebody wants to keep something from the public for 75 years, what they didn’t want the public to know can’t be good.

I wonder if Hoffman had pondered any of that, and still maintained his pro jab for kids overall view.
Could he have missed that memo, too?
It should be required reading for his “predecessor”, you know, the one, whoever it is, that will be, “replacing” him, as Hoffman described them…
(I think that he must have meant, his “successor”).
You know, he again, “got it really right and that’s important”.
Whoever the health director is should be asked
“ so considering the 9 pages of adverse side effects, would you still encourage the vaxx for children?”
Wonder what their answer would be?
They’ll only repeat what they’re told to repeat, no independent judgement allowed, highly paid mouthpiece you might say
They should publish the adverse effects along with the public announcement that encourages the vaxx, so the public is informed as to what they are getting into.
Yep, it’s called informed consent, I believe.
To be clear, that is a list of side effects the company decided to monitor for. I didn’t see anything in the document linked that indicated that they actually saw all of those side effects.
Ouch.

That ought to get a few vaccinated.
Does the county have an estimated percentage (going off accurate numbers or not) of people who aren’t vaccinated but have a card saying that they are?
I believe the counties estimates of vaccination rate are based on the number of doses applied. So fake vaccine cards wouldn’t change that.
It’s possible, I’d go so far as to say highly likely, that some people have made arrangements to have their dose squirted in the sink or whatever and didn’t actually receive the dose that is recorded as administered. But I would find it highly unlikely that that happens at any scale to effect the numbers
“I believe … “ followed by … gar bage.
A qualified enough somebody, others verifying, administer vax. Ask me how I know ?. You clearly don’t ?
So, why say so “it’s highly likely some people have made arrangements (made arrangements?) to have their dose squirted in the sink”?
And then you say “But I would find it highly unlikely that that happens … ”.
See what what you did there? Bunch of off the wall speculative crap, no proof presented, followed by some kind of distancing from your own conjured crap. Get lost.
I guess you didn’t hear about the guy that tried to get his vax in a fake silicone arm, or the guy getting caught after getting his eighth vaccination, acting as a stand in human pin cushion, for other people to receive their vaccination cards…
I didn’t make that up…
It happens.
When you see that level of naivete it is suddenly no longer surprising how much faith is placed in government and media institutions.
“When you see that level of naivete it is suddenly no longer surprising how much faith is placed in government and media institutions.”
..
i couldnt agree more!
What, a .00001% incident rate meaning just enough worthiness for the antivaxxer blah-blah conspired network.
0.00001% incident rate ?
That sounds even higher than the Covid19 risk factor for serious outcomes for the very young, that the conspiratory Pro-Jabber network find worthy enough to not only, non-stop blah, blah, blah, but that they use to justify wanting to subject the very young to jab, jab, jab, just so they don’t have to worry about the very young infecting any of their precious selves, when it won’t even work anyway.
I’m sorry that you’re so triggered by my speculation. That level of sensitivity must make daily life very trying.
I have been told by two separate people about two separate offices with nurses who will discard your vaccine dose somewhere besides your arm but fill out the cdc card with the accurate information from the dose, for a fee. One local, one down in the bay area.
And a lifetime as a criminal has me fairly certain that any sort of fraud is available to the resourceful among us. But like I said, I very much doubt that there is a statistically significant amount of fraudulent vaccination.
As my first supposition, do you know how the county calculates its estimate of the vaccinated population? Are you asked to submit some information to the county when you get vaccinated? Do the vaccine clinics collate the information about the people they see and pass that on to the county?
Either way, I don’t see a recording method that would be impacted by counterfeit vaccine cards. If you’ve got the inside scoop then please share
The very (very-very, so very) rare occurrence doth makes it worthy to report much less ponder. Not. And especially not in comparison to the untold thousands kept alive and the untold tens of kept out of the hospital. What’s the point, really, of a social media speculation as to such nominal incidence … except, what, to maybe impress self by seek nods from online like-minded, still grasping, still hung up. Just silly.
Who hurt you?
“It’s possible, I’d go so far as to say highly likely”
Then later …
“I have been told. .”
“About people about two separate offices with nurses who will discard your vaccine dose somewhere besides your arm but fill out the cdc card with the accurate information from the dose, for a fee.”
So a rumor, couple incidences, maybe, possibly, antivaxxers finding injection qualified folk to squirt out vax and sign the cards. And this is newsworthy here why? Cuz their a shot-dodging card-lying dup who mucked the numbers (those numbers some of y’all antivaxxers are so upset about being inaccurate), one of said duo pocketing $ for a free shot. Got it.
After railing against the blanket-statement untrustworthy government for so long, other folks dodging, lying about vax, pocketing $ administering a free vax, are almost presented sounding anti-vax heroes.
This isn’t news, it’s the comment section. And one could call it comment worthy because someone asked a question about the topic. There’s nothing stopping you from ignoring comments you don’t find useful.
But the degree to which you have failed to comprehend even this basic back and forth is very telling in regards to your thoughts on more complicated topics.
Heh, nice try. Oh, yers was a useful comment alright. Multiply similar by the millions, adding additional wutever like a snowball, and you have a national movement then …
Yeah, people doing stupid things on a national level.
The power of conspiracy world, loved by RWnut shakers and mover now for years, wanna-be-hippies getting sucked along. Stop burying self in still splitting hairs as to vax efficacy, safety, all the rest. The downsides to vax have proven NOMINAL. Never, ever do I hear from the so many of ya how much suffering was averted by vax. Never. You can’t do it, thinking self is so smart but really just too myopic, looking in the weeds, still, for any bit of info and data to back your choice. On a news site social media forum no less! I don’t need to do that or anything like it; a whole world of actual med science professionals have done it for me, for the world, and the world listened and for good reason. Thank goodness most folk didn’t buy into anonymous souls in conspiracy world.
Over and out.
Please seek help. It’s heart breaking to see people in our community, who clearly have access to resources, suffer so profoundly.

That is false.
“Whenever a medication or vaccine is injected, some fluid can remain in the syringe in what’s called the “dead space” of the needle system, between the syringe hub and the needle. That’s what the nurse expelled from the syringe after the vaccination was finished, according to Lee….Low-dead space syringes exist to minimize that waste, but they’re in scarce supply. In a January report on fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, President Joe Biden’s administration identified obtaining more low-dead space syringes as a priority.”https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-9975651996

The short list of the 1291 different kinds of side effects that the vaccine manufacturers were trying to conceal for the next 75 years…
This is just a relative few of them…
Thanks for posting. The public has a right to know this.
Another in the endless misuse of information from the anti vaccine propaganda machine. In fact the people who post such claptrap here lift it, frequently word for word, directly from these anti vaxxer sites all the while claiming not to be anti vaxxers. They are the pipelines of propaganda to those who would know how ridiculous such sites are if they actually looked at them.
https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2022/03/fact-check-pfizer-document-does-not-list-thousands-of-side-effects-from-its-covid-vaccine.html
This is not a list of events that have happened or even ones the FDA thinks likely to happen. It is a very extensive list of things, that if they did happen, require a specific examination by the drug company in order to determine whether vaccination played any part in it. This is simply a laundry list of every possible condition created by inflammation so that if a clinician sees one of them, details get reported. It does not mean they have happened.
“They are the pipelines of propaganda”
As she links to a “fact checker” pipeline of propaganda.
Just another day on RHBB.
??I wonder what kind of, “Keystone”, comments, she is referring to…?♂️??
Keystone ? beer, I’m pretty sure drinking a 6/12-pk may result in similar side effects. ?
Here is a slight bit of reasoning of why the vaccines would be a very, very, bad idea for the under 5 crowd, etc., from a “Dr. Holland”…
Exactly, otherwise they wouldn’t have wanted 75 years to release the data.
Or it could simply be doing the paperwork required by the disingenuous demand of the anti vaxxer litigants far exceeded the capability of the agency to do it. The most dire threat to any government agency by government employee unions where strikes are not allowed is the threat to “work by the rules.” That means the union plans to stop any function by insisting that the government’s massive rule book be followed to the letter. All regulations to be followed precisely meaning no one can finish doing anything.
The demand was not disingenuous or it would not have been granted. Correct?
What’s the theory as to why our local case rate differential is so persistently different than the state and federal data that hcdph reports as 2 to 5 times higher for unvaccinated people. I expected the excess case rate among the vaccinated to be a short lived anomaly. It’s been steady for like 8 weeks now.
Why?
Someone’s chasing a grant
Yep, the unvaxxed being infected less
often, in smaller numbers, than the vaxxed, seems to be the “new normal”
The vaxxed and the unvaxxed hospitalizations have very nearly converged as well… at 0.0 vaxxed to 0.3 unvaxxed.
Not a huge advantage, for the most recent week of data, to be vaccinated vs being unvaccinated.
Kind of small, actually.
Noticed that. That would be a good question for the health officer.
Wonder what their answer would be .
Any guesses as to why our numbers deviate so far from state and national numbers?
Do we have fewer unvaccinated people in positions that require regular testing? Is our vaccinated population more likely to seek testing than elsewhere?
It’s due to any previous protective advantage against infection, which were only temporary, and were provided by the vaccines early on, but that that they no longer provide against Omicron, “coming out in the wash”.
Consequently, now, moreso for the vaccinated than for the unvaccinated, “it’s time to pay the Piper”.
The vaccinated, in reality didn’t prevent themselves from getting Covid19, they merely kicked the, “Covid19 can”, down the road.
Now that the vaccines no longer provide protection against infection, the previously vaccinated represent a more vulnerable population.
Call it a delayed susceptibility, for the vaccinated, and now they are, as a whole, more susceptible to infection, than the unvaccinated, which were previously infected at a higher proportion, so that they are now, less susceptible.
It’s catch-up time, now, for the vaccinated.
Like the Mendocino supervisors, you can run, but you can’t hide.
I suppose then my next question would be, do you expect to see the rest of the country catch up with us in this regard? Will we see that our stats are a bellwether of things to come for the rest of the nation?
It’s a good question.
I’m not sure.
I would think that we would be at the tail end of any Nationwide trend, and that we were not the trendsetters.
That’s what is odd to me. We’ve had vaxxed cases per capita leading unvaxxed for 2 months while the aggregate stats at state and national levels, apparently, show a marked trend in the opposite direction.
It’s odd. I’m leaning toward it being an artifact of testing policy. My guess is that our area has many fewer people that are both unvaccinated and required to test regularly than other areas, but that’s just a guess.
My first inclination, and it still may be true, is that test candidates aren’t being weighted properly for varying vax status ratios.
But, that has neither been confirmed, nor denied…
And I don’t anticipate that anyone that might have enough clout will ever even willingly ask that question, and even if they ever do, I don’t anticipate that anyone at HCDPH, would ever even willingly answer it, either.
Just a couple of “hunches”.
Did you hear?
Hoffman, “led, really, ‘the World’, in successes”!
He said it himself!
What’s to doubt?
We hit 70% of the total population fully vaccinated, by January 15th, 2022, so we could take our masks off in small cohorts of less than 100 people in certain settings, right on schedule, just like he said we would, right?
Oh, wait! NOT!
I guess, “We”didn’t, “Lead, really, “The World”, with that “success”, now, did “We”?
“We”, didn’t quite get that really right, did, “We”?
Is that important?
Almost 2 months after his prediction we would hit 70% fell woefully short, and we are still only at about 65% fully vaccinated, and 70% isn’t looking good until maybe around 9/11/2022… Not for another more than 6 months…
I guess, what’s important is, he just “caved”, and said, “lose the masks, Humboldt”, (science thingy)… Because… you know… (Rex Bohn revolution thingy)…
Yep, he said, “lose ’em”, …at only 65%
total population fully vaccinated, and still over 2.5 times the “high risk” threshold for daily cases AND still over 2.5 times case positivity rate threshold for high risk!
Makes perfect sense, right?
What could go wrong?
Because, “He “thinks”, “on the whole”, “We”, “the numbers speak for themselves”, “But we’re never going to get it perfect”, “But, I think we got it really right, and that’s important”.
??If a guy like “Hoffman”, is going to, “Lead, really, “The World” in “Successes”, I guess, that’s the way it’s “gotta” be done… And then, along with Periera, it’s, “high time”, for lots and lots of self-prescribed and self-administered, “pats on the back”. ?♂️?♂️
Does these people sound totally full of themselves, or is it just me?
Correct.
Ordinarily, one does not give one’s own opinion of oneself, as that would sound unbelievably egotistical.
Yes, these people sound totally full of themselves.
Well, Aaaa1, to be fair, I probably sound that way, too.
And I will acknowledge recognizing it.
However,
In my attempts to represent the truth, I have encountered withering odds and fierce and furious resistance, and feeling backed into a corner, I’ve pulled out all the stops.
I regret where that has brought out in me what must be recognized as being disrespectful.
But, there have been those that have been fighting dirty, so to speak, to defend what isn’t the truth, from the very beginning.
That brought out the worst in me, that may also have been, the very best that I could do.
But, I haven’t been trying to win a popularity contest.
In that regard, I may just have succeeded.
It’s a little ironic to have argued unrelentingly, based upon my self-perceived moral principle, of the importance of telling the truth.
I definitely appeared, more than a little arrogant, to myself, as well.
That is also the truth. I admit it.
10-4 good buddy.. Now why are we here?
The convoy was initially formed to protest mask and vaccine mandates, which have largely been repealed as the omicron variant dwindled over the past several weeks.
The group’s demands are now vague and tied to what they call “accountability,” according to Sara Aniano, an extremism researcher who has spent the last month following the convoy in its Telegram chats. “That could mean financial accountability. It could be physical accountability. It could be legal accountability. Their inability to distinguish what exactly that means is where the concern lies,” said Aniano, who recently published a report on QAnon’s growth after Jan. 6 .

Or, they followed in the footsteps of Canadian truckers, who thought they had freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest vaxx passes at borders, and “COVID emergency measures” which showed no sign of letting up. Those folks received a nice kick in the teeth for their efforts, but they woke up much of the ?. And lo and behold, mandates everywhere started to fall away, bc all of a sudden we are safe?? Lol. Nope. Gavin n Joe etc al, didn’t want truckers visiting them. But American truckers had already taken off. I’d like to see them bring to light Joe’s Emergency Act and Gavins which we are still under .”2 weeks to flatten..”
Well said.
Meh. If ya dig deeper you’ll find most truckers involved, and the majority of the others who joined in and used them, were led on by pure RW political hacks. Y’know, the kind who follow Q-minds.
“Ruh Roh, Raggy”!
I wonder how long it took them to figure this out…?
Just a couple more notches for their impeccable track record, right?
What’s not to totally trust, right?
?
Are we there yet?
Yes.
Of significance is the fact that according to CDC guidelines, “unvaccinated” includes anyone who is partially vaccinated, along with those who have been “fully vaccinated” but are still within 2 weeks of the shot. That kind of accounting just muddies the picture. And now we have the war on top of it all, with its own deluge of yellow journalism. Let’s not forget the latest dire warning about environmental crisis too, that simply hangs there like an unsolvable riddle. We’re just at the beginning of a very dark chapter in history.
“Toxic burn piles” ! Pelosi jumps up like a dog getting a sausage, rubbing her hands in glee with a huge grin on her face. Is there money to be made somehow from burning toxic waste in Iraq? Check the contractors and who owns the businesses involved. Paul Jr or Hunter investing, maybe? How much you wanna bet there is a link there. Strange indeed. Toxic burn piles……yea sure……
A 3PM today interview in Maryland with one of the trucker convoy participants.
“I’m protesting because the Democrats are really bad and they have us locked up and we’re American people and we know what’s good for us,” one protester who had gathered in Hagerstown told our partner at NBC4.
When asked who had them locked up, he answered, “the Democrats with the masks on the face.”
LOL Yep..
Funny watching the last of the vaxers still masking walking down the street by themselves. They definitely have a certain personality for the most part.
MSM can and does, find people to fit their narrative. Finding unbiased news is my new quest and it’s sort of like the elusive Holy Grail I think. I’m not sure I’d know it if I saw it. ?
Even if these ppl are crazy as shi# house rats, disorganized, disgruntled, have differing beliefs, I’m hoping they are supported in their right to free speech, peaceful assembly, etc.
“We”have much more in common with each other than we do with the politicians,elitists,corporate liars that just bent the world over and asked us to smile and be grateful.
Man I gotta exercise more to get rid of this anger.lol. ?
Food for thought…
