It's not science, it's politics!-----Something significant happened last September 1.
"The CDC changed the definition of a vaccine and significantly altered our understanding of that term.
Was it politically motivated?
I don’t have a good explanation other than that.
- As late as August 21, 2021, the CDC defined the term “vaccine” this way:
- But on September 1, 2021, the definition was changed to read:
The change is significant.
What makes these omissions significant is that it changes our understanding of the term vaccine as something prevents disease to something that may or may not protect or produce immunity...Read all.
An Overlooked Cause of Rome’s Decline
"...Stark, along with other historians, argues that this epidemic was the primary reason for some of the policies usually attributed to Rome’s decline:
“Now… historians recognize that acute depopulation was responsible for policies once attributed to moral degeneration. For example, massive resettlement of ‘barbarians’ as landholders within the empire and their induction into the legions did not reflect Roman decadence but were rational policies implemented by a state with an abundance of vacant estates and lacking manpower.”
He then quotes from Hans Zinsser’s classic 1934 work on the impact of epidemics, Rats, Lice, and History:
“[A]gain and again, the forward march of Roman power and world organization was interrupted by the only force against which political genius and military valor were utterly helpless—epidemic disease… and when it came, as though carried by storm clouds, all other things gave way, and men crouched in terror, abandoning all their quarrels, undertakings, and ambitions, until the tempest had blown over.”
My purpose in highlighting this overlooked cause of Rome’s decline is not to inspire inertia but to merely caution against utopianism...Read all.

- Police struggle to keep with the latest crime trend.
The armed carjackings spreading fear across the Twin Cities are frequent, brazen and often violent.
Assailants are ambushing victims in grocery store parking lots, bustling intersections and, in some cases, even as motorists park in the garage of their home.

...mass formation psychosis in pre-World War II Germany to what we are today experiencing in America in response to COVID...
‘Mass Formation Psychosis’ — It’s Real, and It Was Purposely Caused by Biden and the Democrat Party.
...[We had] basically a European intellectual inquiry over what the heck happened in Germany in the 20s and 30s. Very intelligent, highly educated population, and they went barking mad. How did that happen? The answer is mass formation psychosis.
When you have a society that has become decoupled from each other, and has free-floating anxiety, and a sense that things don’t make sense, we can’t understand it. And then their attention gets focused by a leader or series of events on one small point, just like hypnosis. They literally become hypnotized and can be led anywhere...

As you might have guessed, Malone has been blasted by the left for “promoting misinformation about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.”
To that end, Twitter on Wednesday permanently suspended Malone’s Twitter account for spreading “‘misinformation’ about the virus and vaccines.” The ban came just hours after the AP posted a controversial “fact check” report claiming Malone “misled” people by claiming the vaccines are failing against the Omicron variant.
Here’s the clip of Malone discussing this topic — which seemed to break Twitter today — with Rogan:

N.Y. Rationing COVID Drugs (monoclonal treatments) Based on Race
"Sick non-Hispanic whites can only get oral antivirals if they have a medical condition or unspecified "other factors that increase their risk for severe illness"; sick "[n]on-white[s]" and "Hispanic[s]" don't face such a requirement.
That's from the N.Y. State Department of Health, Dec. 27, 2021. The full list:
As Glenn Greenwald points out:
That means that a healthy twenty-year-old Asian football player or a 17-year-old African-American marathon runner from a wealthy family will be automatically deemed at heightened risk to develop serious COVID illness—making them instantly eligible for monoclonal treatments upon testing positive and showing symptoms—while a White person of exactly the same age and health condition from an impoverished background would not be automatically eligible...Read all.
