Biden to Use Civil Rights Office to Deter States From Banning Mask Mandates

This will undoubtedly be part of their "abuse of office" charges during the 2023 Biden impeachment proceedings.

What they should do is threaten to withhold any and all federal funding that they legally can to states that outlaw mask mandates - funding for schools, funding for public health, funding for small business relief, funding for whatever they can tie to COVID risk. Just let them fall apart at the seams when these red states don't get their federal socialism. It worked when Reagan forced every state to raise the drinking age back to 21.

They need to do the same for the airlines - mandate the vaccine for your employees, or else effective October 1 we're calling in any and all remaining rescue loans we gave you to get you through the pandemic.

Play some fcking hardball, Joe.

Wasn't there a SCOTUS case which basically said you can't withhold funding already allocated about 5-10 yrs ago? (To the states, at least)

The airline thing might work.

edit: I was probably thinking of NFIB v. sebilius or Agency for International Development v. Alliance for Open Society International

Seems like those two were limiting the scope of South Dakota v. dole.

Already seen the Tweets circulating, "So once the vaccine gets standard, non-emergency approval, tell us now what your new excuse is going to be."

That is simple.

"I" do not need to be medicated (repeatedly) with a spike protein therapy for a virus that “I” have a 99.9986 survival rate for. Additionally "I" a healthy person do not need to receive the same medication as an elderly person with 6+ comorbities.


Covid is not independent of public health or ones individual health. If you want positive health outcomes, live a healthy lifestyle.


"You" choose to treat your body like sh*t. "You" choose to receive a shot hoping that it will magically fix your health problems. "I" respect your choices. "I" choose to treat my body well. "I" choose not to receive a shot, knowing health is not found in it. "You" are outraged at my choice.

Let’s talk about choice: "you" choose to eat toxic food, drink toxic drinks, use toxic skincare products, remain in a toxic fear-based mindset, consume toxic media, stay in toxic relationships. Then "you" blame other people and the happenings of microscopic things for your illness.

"You" then choose to receive a liability free pharmaceutical product thinking this will now “fix” "your" health problems that were caused by "your" choices, and then continue to blame those who choose to take care of themselves and choose not to receive this product.

Imagine how fucked up someone's mom's twat has to be for them to be unable to summarize something in a single post and instead needing 9 posts to get it all out. 9. Like, at no point did they think "hey maybe I should collect my thoughts and combine it all here". Probably got their brain poked several times by a wire hanger that couldn't fully do its job.

To be fair, Jebbers has to rush things because he only gets a hour of unsupervised internet every week - and he spends the first 57 minutes unsuccessfully Googling for his mom’s pornos (and not due to lack of available content).

I'll let you carry that load.

Instead, I'm doing something useful.

As I've said, I have a unique heterozygous genetic combo (thanks mom and dad, I think). I've been contacted about my health though Covid. And what risks I'm willing to run. (Don't you love white coat researchers.) Here's what they know:

Heterozygous carriers of CFTR gene mutations do not develop clinically significant CF. Any possible survival benefits of the CFTR gene mutations in the general population were thus conferred by their presence in the heterozygous CFTR gene mutation carriers. Postulated benefits of a mutated CFTR protein gene includes improved ability to survive after infection with various microbes; as mentioned above, there is evidence for CF carrier state benefit against cholera, typhoid, and tuberculosis. Survival benefits have presumably led to the current high prevalence of CFTR mutations present in the Caucasian population; approximately one out of every 20 to 25 Caucasian individuals is at least heterozygous for a CFTR protein gene mutation. It now appears that the homozygous CFTR gene mutation is demonstrating a survival benefit against a new class of microbial agent (i.e., SARS-CoV-2) with a potentially new and unknown mechanism of action. Whether heterozygous carriers of the CFTR gene mutation are also protected (as seen in the previously mentioned bacterial infections) is an open question.

I have Class II and a Class IV on this diagram. It makes me as the first sentence says, a "Heterozygous carriers of CFTR gene mutations do not develop clinically significant CF."

But I'm heterozygous but with two different CFTR related mutations. So am I protected like a homozygous (CF) or not? That's why the white coat interest in me.

I'm helping to answer the question in the last sentence of the quote.
 
Forgive my naïveté (nice autocorrect!) but is this saying covid doesn't develop into more fibroids? Or is it saying that CF has a protective function from getting covid?

edit: apparently the board doesn't like that word. Naivety but with less murica letters

Know your risk. Or lack thereof! The average age of death via #COVID19 is 80 years old (and that doesn't even get into from or with). Every 20 years below that risk drops by a factor of 10
- 60 yr olds = 10x lower risk
- 40 yr olds = 100x lower
- 20 yr olds = 1000x lower
ONE THOUSAND TIMES LOWER RISK FROM DYING OF COVID


Also, this takes the age groups as a whole, healthy, moderately healthy, not healthy, ect... If you break it down further the risk is even lower for healthy and moderately people are at even less risk than illustrated.

No one is under any obligation to live inside someone else's psychopathologies. Never forget that.

Getting might be strong. The quote is "survival benefit". You'll still catch it; it just won't do much.

Some papers point to the normal "easy path" microbial agents look for being mucked up so the agents can't attack. Like the full quote says, "there is evidence for CF carrier state benefit against cholera, typhoid, and tuberculosis" and "homozygous CFTR gene mutation is demonstrating a survival benefit against a new class of microbial agent (i.e., SARS-CoV-2)."

I'm, based on my genetics, in on determining if that last in-quote sentence is true or false. Given I don't have two of the same mutation (homozygous), but have two CF related mutations (still heterozygous, yet no clinically significant CF), the researchers believe I still carry the "survival benefit" (aka a form of dare I say God-given natural immunity).

Bandwidth on those servers is out of control.

South Dakota with country’s largest surge past two weeks, up 230%.

can’t put my finger on why…
 
It seems that Missouri has found the same downturn after a six-ish week Delta ramp-up that the UK and India had.

And Hawaii has the wildest shaped curve (same link, change state in dropdown). It's like they had a biker rally ... I kid, I kid ...
