Yeah moms has like a huge indentation/scar on her upper right arm. I think its small pox vax. I think she said something kinda went wrong with it too and why its bad.
Iirc, small pox vax is a dermal, not muscle or vein.
Yeah small pox shot itself isnât bad. The Army gave those out to everyone in 2003/04. The needle looks insane but it barely breaks the skin, itâs painless. The blister or whatever it is that grows out of it itches like hell though and you just have to put up with it for weeks.
I donât think I trust the data out of the Dakotas and Nebraska.

Nebraska especially has had serious data problems, at least in the Hopkins database. They were basically totally clean for weeks until last Sunday when they dumped a bunch of data and went from A to B overnight.
EDIT: I guess this means all those new cases will roll through the 7-day average in a couple of days and it will go back to looking relatively clean.

Rage porn:
Australia will likely hit 80% first-dosed sometime this week. 80% double-dosed is the target we are looking to hit before significant easing of restrictions happens, so this is a significant milestone.
I suspect we will eventually (say by mid next year) hit 90% double-dosed, although it will probably be close. The only reason I think weâll get there is that the government are showing themselves quite willing to use coercive methods to make life difficult for the unvaxxed and there is widespread community support for this. While Australia is not a socially conformist or communitarian culture like East Asian cultures, despite the laid-back image of Australians, itâs actually quite a compliant country, willing to follow rules and with not a lot of patience for people who donât think the rules apply to them.
Edit: I see NSW is already at 88% first-dosed actually, so 90% eventually seems likely. Also, the ACT (think the District of Columbia) is at 92.7% first-dosed.

Pretty nice to have a government willing to do good things with widespread public support even if it might upset a minority.

Well. Part of this is because having all your workers die is a bad thing. Its fairly self interested from our capitalist overlords. They want people back to work asap.
Whatâs interesting is why this fairly obvious position isnât shared by YOUR capitalist overlords.
Yep, pretty weird that rich owners here are cool with their workers dying.
But Wookie, The Customer Is Always Right and Itâs My Choice!
Oilersâ Josh Archibald out indefinitely with myocarditis after having COVID-19
Wtf you mean the virus itself can cause heart issues? I thought there was a studyâŚ. Never mind.
Not sure how he planned on playing anyhow. Bertuzzi on the Red Wings canât play game in Canada cause heâd have to quarantine. Not sure how this guy plays games in the US and go back into Canada. Guess he was just going to stay North?
People want to work for companies with vaccine mandates. The media is completely blowing it by not reporting how widely popular both the vaccine and vaccine mandates are.

The tail is wagging the dog over here, the inmates are running the asylum, etc., etc.
Are they? Weâre still <60% fully vaccinated last I checked.
Edit: looks like itâs 75% of elegible candidates, so I guess thatâs a yes.
