You don't remember being taught about how the jedis were the chosen people and the people of God and what they did to Jericho and what they did to the Egyptians and what they did to the people who lived in Israel when they first arrived?
I mean like seriously?
The bible is a manifesto for antisemitism, but somehow it gets spun as this book about how much God loves the jedis, mostly by introducing us to it when we are still children and introducing God to us as the creator of the universe, and not just as YHWH, the ethnic self-conceit and chauvinism of the jedi people.
Did you read the book of Esther? Did your teachers tell you how Purim is basically jedi Christmas? -

Yeah, he's basically retired to be a bitch of the media. Before I guess maybe his boss told him what to do, now the jedis in the media tell him what to do. Maybe old habits die hard or something.
Imagine going out into the world and looking at reality as it is, and deciding "this is what is wrong, this is what I care about". -

2021-08-29 at 10:21 PM UTCUS Coronavirus: 'There is no room to put these bodies,' Alabama health official says, as Covid-19 deaths climb
By Aya Elamroussi, CNN
The rate of Covid-19 deaths has increased in 42 US states in the last week, according to new data, as the spread of the more virulent coronavirus Delta variant has upended a spring of reopenings and led to increasing concern headed into autumn.
In 14 states, Covid-19 deaths increased by more than 50% over the past week, while another 28 states saw an uptick of at least 10%, data from Johns Hopkins University on Friday shows.
In Alabama, one of the hardest-hit states in the latest surge, overall hospitalization numbers continue to climb, driving health officials to use mobile trailers to house bodies because Covid-19 deaths are soaring, state health officer Dr. Scott Harris said Friday.
The state activated two of its four refrigerated trailers for the first time since the pandemic began, Harris said, in Mobile and Baldwin counties this week.
"These are typically held in case of a mass casualty event for example, when a large number of bodies appear at one time. This is actually a situation that is happening in Alabama hospitals now," Harris said.
"We have enough people dying ... that there is no room to put these bodies," he added. "We are really in a crisis situation. ... I don't know how much longer we're going to be able to do this."
Alabama reported 50 Covid-19 related deaths Thursday and saw "double digit numbers of deaths" in the past two to three weeks, Harris said.
At least 5,571 Alabama children tested positive for Covid-19 last week, Harris said Friday, noting that officials aren't sure where the children contracted the virus. The state currently has a 23% Covid-19 positivity rate, among the highest in the nation, Harris said.
Alabama is seeing a surge in pediatric cases from last year, Harris explained. Of the 2,879 people hospitalized with Covid-19 on Thursday, 45 of them are children, with at least five of them on ventilators, Harris said.
Louisiana hospitals won't evacuate ahead of Ida
As Hurricane Ida approaches the Gulf Coast, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said in a Saturday briefing there are 2,450 patients currently hospitalized with Covid-19 across the state, which is a drop of 20% in the past 10 days.
"That's very helpful going into this hurricane, especially since we know that the evacuation of our hospitals is not an option," said Edwards.
More than 475 of those patients are on ventilators, according to data from the state department of health.
Edwards told CNN's Jim Acosta the hospitals have been stocking up on supplies and testing their generators ahead of the storm. FEMA has also brought in additional generators for the hospitals, he added.
"It's going to be a real challenge and we're likely to need some help with respect to our hospitals," the governor said. "And then you have the people who may be injured as a result of the hurricane itself and so we need to make sure we have some capacity for them."
All of the state's parishes are in the highest risk category for coronavirus, with widespread, uncontrolled transmission and many undetected cases, the state health department said.
Oxygen supplies running low in the South
As many hospitals across the country face a shortage of available beds and staff, there's another concern in the South: a shortage of oxygen.
According to state health officials and hospital consultants, there are several hospitals across Florida, South Carolina, Texas and Louisiana that have experienced oxygen shortages, with some at risk of moving to their reserve supply or even running out of oxygen.
"As Covid has continued to evolve, we have continued to see Covid care best practices continue to evolve, and that in part has been the use of high-flow oxygen versus ventilators," said Donna Cross, senior director of facilities and construction at Premier, a health care performance improvement company.
Cross told CNN that the spike in Covid-19 cases has caused more demand on the oxygen supply and hospitals cannot keep the pace.
Coronavirus transmission is high across the country
All 50 states have high rates of Covid-19 transmission, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, as millions of children who are unable to be vaccinated return to school. The CDC identifies virus transmission to be high when the total new cases per 100,000 people in a 7-day period is 100 cases or more.
But only half of US states -- plus Washington, DC, -- have fully vaccinated at least 50% of their residents. Those states include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington state and Wisconsin.
Across the country, roughly 32% of people ages 12 to 17 fully vaccinated, adolescents have been tough to vaccinate, but there are some highlights.
More than 86% of those ages 12 to 17 who received a first dose would later complete their vaccinations, which is necessary for optimal protection against the Delta variant, according to a CDC study.
The study stresses the importance of vaccinating eligible children and young people as schools return.
"Improving vaccination coverage and implementing Covid-19 prevention strategies are crucial to reduce Covid-19-associated morbidity and mortality among adolescents and to facilitate safer reopening of schools for in-person learning," researchers wrote in the study.
Covid-19 is hitting school staff and students
Back-to-school season has been devastating to some states and districts that are seeing a distressing number of students contract the virus. Preventative measures such as quarantining are happening nationwide.
In Mississippi, 28,990 students were quarantined between August 16 and 20 after possible exposure to Covid-19, according to data from the state's department of health, up from the 20,334 students who quarantined from August 9 to 13.
It's unclear how many of those are new student quarantines, or students who have had to remain quarantined from the prior week. Schools report numbers, not the names, of those quarantined, according to the department of health.
A total of 11,766 students and 2,383 employees have tested positive for Covid-19 in Mississippi schools since the beginning of August when schools began, health officials said.
In California, the Los Angeles Unified School District reported 2,847 active Covid-19 cases among students and staff across all as of Friday evening, according to the district's dashboard. The district said that as of Tuesday, 3,000 students and 500 employees were required to isolate at home while 3,500 students and 500 employees had to quarantine at home.
The second largest district in the country enacted some of the strongest mitigation measures throughout its more than 1,000 schools. But officials remain on guard about the spread.
"We anticipate an upward trend in outbreaks as our schools have reopened, but we're continuing to work hard to prevent, investigate and manage them as they happen," Los Angeles County Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said during a weekly briefing on Thursday.
Health care resources are stretched thin for non-Covid-19 patients
As increases in Covid-19 cases persist, medical attention for other health needs is being curtailed.
Three OhioHealth hospitals decided to temporarily pause elective surgeries that require an overnight stay due to an influx of Covid-19 hospitalizations, spokesperson Colin Yoder told CNN in a statement Friday. The move, effective Monday, frees hospital capacity and staff, he explained.
"Due to the fluid nature of this fourth surge, we will continually monitor capacity and pause or resume elective surgeries with an overnight stay as needed," Yoder said.
Difficulties in maintaining a high level of health care are not limited to staffing issues. There has also been a shortage in the monoclonal antibody treatment used to treat both hospitalized Covid-19 patients and those with serious chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
The treatment Actemra was granted emergency use authorization by the US Food and Drug Administration in June to treat those with Covid-19. The medication reduces inflammation that can make patients sicker. It is regularly used for those with rheumatoid arthritis, yet Genentech, the company that makes Actemra, doesn't have enough for everyone who needs it.
Last week, the company said demand for the drug went up more than 400% beyond pre-Covid-19 levels, in a span of two weeks. Supplies of several dose levels of the medicine have been out of stock in the US since last Monday.
On Thursday, Genentech told customers it's "working as urgently as possible to expedite replenishments and increase manufacturing capacity and supply wherever possible."
The company said the medicine should be available for distribution starting Monday, but "given continued tight supply, Genentech anticipates additional intermittent periods of stockouts in the months ahead if the pandemic continues at the current pace." -

Is Jason Christoff & Cornwall Ontario Anti Vax & Hate Central in Ontario?
By Mary Anne Pankhurst
There’s no doubt that vaccine misinformation harms and kills people. Globally, the evidence for that is in. But do you know misinformation is also a money maker?
Fact is, Big Misinfo is a profit-making leviathan. It breaches in both physical and online communities, all tangled up with noxious and weedy conspiracy theories that infect peoples’ beliefs, encourage science denial, mistrust of public health advocates, and harassment and death threats to some.
The business also extends to promoters of some of the quackiest, goopiest, multi-trillion dollar features of the alt-med and wellness marketplace.
And apparently, some evangelicals are even cashing in.
Among the biggest media profiteers are Amazon, Facebook and YouTube.
Then there are the hundreds of small, generic personalities who mainly specialize in repeating misinformation.
Jason Christoff is among these, operating out of Cornwall, Ontario, the city he refers to as his “Kingdom.”
Very recently, Amazon and the others began taking a good long look in the mirror.
And while a few encouraging changes have begun, such as that Amazon has stopped selling a couple of books that promote dangerous, fake and abusive ‘cures,’ like bleach enemas for children with autism, the giants have Godzilla strides to make.
The deception business also includes a broad scope of businesses that are much less obvious, including pharmacies LINK and naturopaths who continue to sell homeopathy; chiropractors who may sell the idea that spinal adjustments can provide some kind of immune protection; and in Cornwall, media like Seaway News and the Freeholder who directly or indirectly made money from Jason Christoff’s columns while the gym-owner boosted his bottom line.
It’s a special kind of crazy. But clearly, there’s gold in them-thar anti-vaxx hills; big bucks to be made by the likes of Natural News, Mercola and Infowars (to name a few), all that exploit people, pushing them to embrace and share dangerous ideas like: “Bring on the Measles! I wish I could have been blessed with that infection as a healthy child.”
Blessed? Balderdash! Has anti vaccine and anti-science thinking become some kind of religion or are these beliefs symptomatic of some kind of 21st century sickness that historians will one day publish papers about, with titles like Backstories on the modern world’s return to the Dark Ages.
Ah yes, the anti-vaxx mommy types who think (like Christoff, who has an undergrad in labour relations) that “they know” all about microbiology, infectious diseases and immunology.
And at this link you can read about a mum who charges $200. for anti-vaccine workshops designed to inform misinform other parents.
Question: If she’s profiting from misinformation (as we see many others do) should she/they be held responsible if a child, contracts or dies from, a vaccine-preventable disease? LINK
What if once-deluded parents suddenly start fighting back; mounting cases seeking damages from the profiteers of wild ideas, false promises, products, books, newsletters, videos, movies, seminars or advertising?
It brings to mind a recent case in the US, where an herbalist went to jail for practicing medicine without a license, and isn’t this what many of the aforementioned profiteers are doing when they give unsubstantiated health advice?
In this case, the herbalist convinced a family to treat their son with lavender oil, in place of insulin for type 1 diabetes. The boy suffered and died because the herbalist told the boy’s parents that insulin is poison.
Jason Christoff often refers to vaccines as poison.
This is how crazy things have become in the era of Big Misinfo, and these outbreaks of deception bring to mind a story that ran in CFN a few weeks ago.
Acting on a Facebook post written by a mother who announced her baby had contracted and was suffering with measles, the CFN editor tried to confirm – with very good reason given the highly contagious nature of the disease – whether the public health unit or the hospital could confirm the claim.
But his question was met with silence.
So why, even if the mother’s claim was not true, would health authorities avoid a teachable moment about protecting, not only children, but babies too young to be vaccinated and the immunocompromised?
On this local note, I can’t help but think of this little girl from Cornwall, Vanetia Warner, who died after contracting swine flu (H1N1) in 2009. LINK
I’m not suggesting anti-vaccine views played a role in her death. Not at all. But I lived in SDG at the time – when so many were spewing hogwash about the swine flu vaccine – that I have never forgotten her.
It was such a tragedy, one so great, it boggles the mind how or why Christoff so commonly posts about his totally unvaccinated daughter. Especially when it’s highly probable that he and his wife had the luxury of benefiting from vaccine-protection, as well as herd immunity, in their own childhoods.
Christoff, and some of his fans, considers himself some kind of medical researcher. Don’t believe me?
Still not sure what I mean? Then consider this story, and ask yourself who or what might have governed and informed decisions made by these parents?
In summary, their six-year-old was infected by a life-threatening tetanus infection, suffered 57 days in intensive care at a cost of over $800,000, but refused the recommended tetanus shot before the boy was discharged from hospital. LINK
It’s 2019 people. Should peddlers of “good sounding” deceptions about infectious diseases and vaccines that eradicated diseases like smallpox (by 1977), have saved, and continue to save millions of lives get a free pass?

Secret deaths, secret cemetaries. No doubt in 70 years time what happens now will be the foundation of a whole new shoah.

U.S. Tops 100,000 Average Covid Hospitalizations
Dan Levin
The daily average for hospitalized Covid-19 patients in the United States is now more than 100,000. That average, calculated over the last seven days, is higher than in any previous surge except last winter’s, before most Americans were eligible to get vaccinated.
The influx of patients is straining hospitals and pushing health care workers to the brink as deaths have risen to an average of more than 1,000 a day for the first time since March.
Hospitalizations nationwide have increased by nearly 500 percent in the past two months, particularly across Southern states, where I.C.U. beds are filling up, a crisis fueled by some of the country’s lowest vaccination rates and widespread political opposition to public health measures like mask requirements.
In Florida, 16,457 people are hospitalized, the most of any state, followed by Texas, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
With the surge pummeling the nation and overwhelming hospitals, a shortage of bedside nurses has complicated efforts to treat hospitalized coronavirus patients, leading to longer emergency room waiting times and rushed or inadequate care.
Earlier this month, one in five American I.C.U.s had reached or exceeded 95 percent of beds full. Alabama was one of the first states to run out, and the crisis is concentrated in the South, with small pockets of high occupancy elsewhere in the country. As cases and hospitalizations surged, the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville on Thursday requested assistance from the National Guard.
“I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” said Dr. Shannon Byrd, a pulmonologist in Knoxville, who described local hospitals filled to capacity, noting that the vast majority of I.C.U. patients in the region are unvaccinated. “It’s bringing whole families down and tearing families apart. They’re dying in droves and leaving surviving loved ones with a lot of funerals to go to.”
As in previous surges, hospitals have been forced to expand capacity by creating makeshift I.C.U.s in areas typically reserved for other types of care, and even in hallways or spare rooms. Experts say maintaining existing standards of care for the sickest patients may be difficult or impossible at hospitals with more than 95 percent I.C.U. occupancy.
Hard-hit communities in Oregon and elsewhere are asking for mobile morgues to store the dead.
Dr. Ijlal Babar, the director of pulmonary critical care for the Singing River Health System in coastal Mississippi, said the influx of mostly unvaccinated, younger Covid-19 patients is hampering care across the system’s hospitals.
“Because a lot of these patients are lingering on, the ventilators are occupied, the beds are occupied,” he said. “And a lot of other patients who need health care, we can’t do those things, because we don’t have the I.C.U. beds, we don’t have the nurses, we don’t have the ventilators.”
Like many health care workers, Dr. Babar voiced frustration at the refusal of many residents to get inoculated, even after they have lost an unvaccinated family member to the virus.
“The families, you don’t see them going out and talking about the benefits of vaccine,” he said. “Nobody brings it up, nobody expresses any remorse. It’s just something that they absolutely do not believe in.” -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood I'm right though. This isn't about the unvaccinated, it's about DONALD TRUMP
TRUMP is the one stirring the anti vax pot and makes REPUBLICANS not get the vaccine. Nobody cares about some random Joe Everyman that doesn't exactly trust this unproven new technology.
You only care when a REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN ANTI VAXER gets sick, THATS the problem.
And the only reason they believe that stuff is because of Donald Trump. This isn't a public health issue, it's a political one. You don't care about people or healthcare.
You are just a retard that is told to bark at the big bad scary orange man. Go on and keep barking because it's all you know how to do. You never cared about foreign affairs, health, the economy or anything until the media told you. And they only reason they tell you to care is because it's a political issue AGAINST THOSE ANTI VAXXER MAGA REPUBLICANS
If democrats were anti vaxxers you would flip sides so fucking quick, you don't believe in anything except what you are told to believe. -
