To be clear, I am neither ‘pro’ nor ‘anti’ vaccination. A vaccination is a medical intervention. In the old (pre-hysteria) days, prior to March 2020, any doctor would confirm that any medical intervention should be based on a risk -v- reward analysis.......

The overall IFR of Coronavirus is around 0.2%, similar to seasonal flu. It’s much lower for most people and you can assess your personal risk

For some reason, hysteria has taken over and we are now being held hostage to rushed, novel mRNA ‘vaccines’ which remain in Phase 3 trials and have not been fully assessed. Little, if anything, is known about potential iatrogenic effects.....

And these products have not been assessed in relation to (for example) interactions with other medications; their potential effects on people with existing auto-immune conditions etc.

They have been granted Emergency Use Authorisation only.......

And it is arguable that the EUA should now be withdrawn as more is now known about effective therapeutic medications such as ivermectin and others. Nevertheless, the vaccination ‘push’ continues apace despite numerous eminently qualified people questioning the safety.....

Why a woman labor activist was arrested from Kundli industrial area?
On 12 January, Labor activist Nodeep Kaur was arrested, sent to Karnal Jail and booked under IPC 148,149, 307 and other sections of IPC. Since then Nodeep is in jail.

Here is the story. As farmer’s protest at the borders of Delhi enters the 57th day, lakhs of farmers are staying in thousands of makeshift tents. One tent among those marks a stark difference -- it houses industrial labourers protesting against non-payment of salaries.

A little known organisation Mazdoor Adhikar Sangthan (MAS) emerged at the protest site of farmers on December 6th, around 10 day, thys after the farmers reached the Singhu border, to echo the complaints of the workers of Kundli Industrial.

Initially, they reached the site with hopes that their pain too would be heard along with that of the  farmers. However, they have also voiced their  support for the farmers against the new agri laws and are ensuring the participation of laborers in farmer protest.

On 2nd of December, MAS brought 2,000 laborers to participate in the protests.  Farmers protest had started on 27 November, MAS set up tent on 6 december.  Since then MAS is fighting for rights of laborers.

1. It's time for the weekly "data from Sweden" thread.
This week 4 main things.
A. Increase in the number of reports
B. Deaths still being reporting back to mid-december
C. Comparing to France?
D. Data on school suggest closing would help.

Let's go!
⬇️⬇️⬇️

2. First, before this week, somehow the swedish public health agency did not consider COVIC too important and reported on deaths only twice a week.

3. I mentioned last week that things are being taken much more seriously now since the government has passed a new temporary law to allow them to close public places likely to spread the virus.

4. You can read more about it in a great article reporting on the Swedish situation with analysis from @FLAHAULT as well. It's all in French though, but would be happy to help if google translate is not enough.

5. If you've been following me before, you know that I have mentioned many this and all the other issues with the situation in Sweden before. You can find short sum ups in these two videos (also in French and with

I couldn’t be more disappointed in #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah. The truth of what happened is there. There are survivors. We deserve, after being lied about so much & for so long, a whole reckoning

I mean what would possess anyone to focus on ‘humanizing’ one of the informants/killers but saying nothing about our other martyr, #MarkClark

Why are we not even asking why the founder & head of the Peoria Chapter, #DefenseCaptainMarkClark had to be called in as security?

Why don’t we learn the breadth & brilliance of #ChairmanFredHampton’s strategy? Are we only supposed to learn, like Hoover said, we speak, we die?

I did love #MamaAkuaNjeri’s reading of her poem. That was beautiful. But also beautiful is all the ways the legacy continues in the work of #ChairmanFredHamptonJr

Lets see who else has a close relationship with Christine Fang (Fang Fang).

If a Jehovah’s Witness wants to refuse a blood transfusion that would potentially save their life, I find that sad but it has little to do with me.

If a Jehovah’s Witness wants to refuse consent for a child to have a potentially life-saving blood transfusion, medical staff have the option of seeking a court order to over-ride parental objections.

If Jehovah’s Witnesses as an organisation campaigned to have the law changed so that it is illegal for anyone to be given a blood transfusion, this would clash with my rights and I would be vociferously against it.

If Jehovah’s Witnesses affirm that ‘Jesus Christ is God’s firstborn son, is inferior to God, and was created by God’, then I don’t agree but it has little to do with me.

If Jehovah’s Witnesses wanted to make it the law that I had to affirm that ‘Jesus Christ is God’s firstborn son, is inferior to God, and was created by God’, it would clash with my rights and I would be vociferously against it.

All I have is my VOICE🔊

I am part of a generation of Nigerians who have lived most of their adult lives under ‘democratic’ rule and yet, I woke up today feeling there is no difference between the Nigeria I grew up in, and the Nigeria my parents grew up in.

The sacrifices of the democrats who bravely stood on the June 12 mandate to bring our democracy to life seem to be in vain. Ironically, many of who are serving in this government and ruling party.

Everywhere I turn, I am told that I should be ‘grateful’ for a democracy that lives were lost, I should be thankful that I have a voice and I can speak up for myself and my peers.

But how can I be grateful when young men and women disappear every day, some killed recklessly without cause, while others get scarred for life—physically, emotionally, or both?

When we began to protest, it was because young Nigerians decided to speak up.

We spoke up - not because we wanted to overthrow the government, the only agenda was getting the @PoliceNG to stop killing us. We did not carry arms, or incite any insurrection.

"It is day eight in a depot in Lymm just outside Warrington, Cheshire and a lorry carrying frozen carrots and mixed herbs is still waiting for clearance to board a ferry from Birkenhead to Belfast".
"because the paperwork for a single pallet of carrots is missing key information"

**Guardian Report**

Hundreds of miles away in Lisburn in Northern Ireland, the haulage firm’s operations team have had no luck in persuading the British supplier that the carrots that were ordered on 27 December are now, in the third week in January, classed as an export

and must be accompanied by a litany of documents and certificates before the trailer can be cleared to board the ferry at Birkenhead.
Another supplier on the lorry had been struggling with the documentation requiring it to supply what is known as an “Incoterms”, which determines

who pays the duty in any tariff but also establishes a specific record as to who is the importer. But that was resolved on day seven.
Then there was also the supplier who had provided a commodity code that was two digits short. A simple key stroke mistake could be difference

between the lorry getting the red or the green light for entry to NI.
“It took half a day yesterday for me to clear the supply chain. I’ve got one more issue to go,” says the visibly stressed operations man simultaneously dealing with a sheaf of about 30 documents for

There are always questions at the end of the visit.

It’s only natural. Nobody remembers everything. I’m used to clarifying and reiterating.

But your question catches me off guard.

“Did you know that hummingbirds remember every single flower they’ve ever visited?” 1/

I smile, and shake my head. “No, I didn’t know that.”

You nod at me, “Well, it’s true. I’m gonna send you a bill now.”

I laugh, and the layered masks muffle the sound.

I was consulted because your kidney function is dropping.

Your room is on a COVID unit.

The plastic sheets you have to zipper yourself through. The cool hiss of the air flow. Donning and doffing.

There was a time when this was a pulse-quickening ritual, when adrenaline would flow.

Now it is a necessary nuisance.

Numbing. 3/

Every time I see you, the visit finishes with an exchange of trivia.

You tell me something I didn’t know.

I try and tell you something equally interesting.

It’s a sort of game. A challenge.

I realize that it’s something I’m looking forward to, every day.

A little joy. 4/

Late in the evening, when I get home, I sit down with some books and skim through for interesting tidbits I could use.

“Schott’s Original Miscellany” is a godsend, as is The Guinness Book.

I enjoy the peace.

No screens. No one monetizing my attention.

Just pages turning. 5/

The pandemic highlighted how decades of pushing for socialism have utterly destroyed our ability to measure costs against benefits and evaluate risk. We're down to people refusing to take vaccines until they're 100% effective and demands for lockdown until we have 0% coronavirus.
