What happens when the virus evolves to be more virulent? I listened to a long talk on BA.5 on public radio this afternoon. So much garbage, the man being interviewed and the interviewer had to be lying, paltering, dissembling, evading crucial facts. Two and one-half years of covid and these people are still pretending. The other possibility is they are profoundly incurious and/or stupid. They did not even raise the subject of early treatments, the criminal withholding of which has killed so many. ABN
Dr. James Thorp OBGYN. Pregnancy robust state, negligible risk for serious outcomes with Omicron. Easily treated early. Risks of WIV genetic code for the Spike protein include thrombosis/hemorrhage, fetal loss, malformations, no assurances infant/child safety over longer term.
Humanity must learn to think in terms of complex systems, not 'define problem, calculate answer' zombies any longer.
Such linear inductive thinking is harming us. We are blind to the reality which surrounds us, we punish those who pursue novel thought.https://t.co/2b1yqANz8i
I highly recommend his linked essay: The Climate Change Alternative We Ignore (to Our Peril). The many problems in government reasoning during covid—including gross overemphasis on computer models—should be enough for discerning minds to see that much of the “reasoning” supporting climate change policy is every bit as bad.

You might have heard about an online grocery distribution center called Picnic in the Netherlands burning to the ground {LINK}. The backstory of how the Picnic operation connects to the Dutch government is fascinating, and with context it looks like Picnic was targeted as part of the Dutch farmer protest.
In the Netherlands the government official who organized the regulations to take farmland from farmers and reduce their livestock is a politician named Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink {wiki link}. Mrs van der Wal-Zeggelink is the current Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy in the Dutch cabinet of Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
"Uninformed Consent" great lines: @JustinTrudeau "even a fully #jected person can pass on the disease" @BorisJohnson "it doesn't protect you from catching the disease and it doesn't protect you from passing on the disease, so now is the time to get your b…" Absurdity recorded!
It bears emphasizing that the countries with the greatest uptake of these shitty bioweapons vaccines are Western countries, with few exceptions. This means that Western civilization itself has been and is being targeted for destruction, something we see on many other fronts as well. Since those pushing these bioweapons vaccines appear to mostly be Westerners living in Western countries, we can assume that our civilization has been subtly infiltrated by enemy actors. Are the public figures we see pushing vaccines our conscious enemies? Or are they brainwashed or blackmailed tools? Who are the masterminds pulling the strings? If we do not figure that out soon, we are done for. ABN
2016: Chloe said that she became exposed to transgender activism at age 11 on Instagram and Tumblr which influenced her thinking on her own gender.
2018: At age 14, Chloe began taking puberty blockers and testosterone injections, that were administered by her mother. That same year she begins going by the name Leo.
June 2020: Chloe goes under the knife for the first time at 15 when she has a double mastectomy
Almost immediately, she regrets the surgery as she was confined to her bed for that summer as she healed from her surgery
May 2021: Following a biology class during which she came to the realization that she would never be able to feed her baby, Chloe said that she stopped taking testosterone injection
Pretty much any hard-held identity is delusional in Buddhism. I do not see any way a Buddhist can honestly support surgical or hormonal transgender treatments on children, who obviously are too young to make these decisions for themselves. Not sure I see any reason to support treatments like these for adults either. Clinging to any mundane identity is the core delusion of the Second Noble Truth, the truth of the cause of suffering. Sexual orientation alone is not important enough to base an identity on. Surgically or chemically changing your body just to conform to some notion of what your “real” gender identity is is clearly excessive, not the Middle Way. As Buddhists, we do not reject people who do this just as we do not reject out of hand anyone who makes even very serious mistakes. But not rejecting is not the same a condoning or encouraging behavior that furthers delusion and suffering and does not lead toward greater wisdom. ABN
“The mass vaccination program has driven natural selection and adaptation of more infectious SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) variants that have now evolved to causing enhanced susceptibility of vaccinees to infection (due to antibody-dependent enhancement of infection; ADEI). The resulting recurrence of infectious episodes leads to hyperactivation of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells that are directed at a universal (i.e., MHC-unrestricted) T cell epitope comprised within the SC-2 spike (S) protein. As these cytotoxic CD8+ T cells enable prompt abrogation of productive infection and as this epitope is shared amongst some other glycosylated viruses causing acute self-limiting infection or disease, more and more cases of asymptomatic infections are to be expected in vaccinees, especially in those endowed with a mature and fully functional innate immune system.”
Doug Truax asked “how long does this go on?” I estimate 35% is awake and dug in on preserving their health. Other fractions in the formation keep taking them every six months even after breakthrough infection–playing a giant game of Russian Roulette on fatal safety hazards.
Kamala Harris: “We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work operating from the new norms, rules, & agreements, that we will convene to work together”
Filing this one under “incompetence,” “infiltration,” and “asymmetric warfare.” Covid has provided a profoundly important example of the danger of basing government policy on computer models. And the danger of listening to politicians who believe those models without understanding them. ABN
