Hundreds of Moog employees walk off the job in protest of vaccine mandate
Workers at Moog said they just want to work and not be forced to be vaccinated.
"This is simply an anti-mandate. Many of these people here are vaccinated. I have people on the committee that helped plan this event, this is simply about mandating a medical procedure. We don't care, we just want to work, we don't want to be forced to take a medical procedure," said Stream Loop Leader, Matt Schieber.
"It seems like the federal government is touching the things we're making for fighter jets, for helicopters, for missile systems and it's going to affect them adversely," said Moog Engineer, Jim Bebak.

This is way too funny.
From The CDC:
"Sixth, the statistical model incorporated the use of a weighted propensity score method which is subject to biases in estimates or standard errors if the propensity score model is misspecified. Numerous techniques were used to reduce potential suboptimal specification of the model, including but not limited to including a large set of covariates for machine learning estimation of propensity scores, including covariates in both regression and propensity models, ensuring large sample sizes and checking stability of weights, and conducting secondary analyses to assess robustness of results."
Does the CDC statement sound something like this?
“For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is the turbo encabulator.
Now basically the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance.
The original machine had a base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.
The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdle spring on the “up” end of the grammeters.
The turbo-encabulator has now reached a high level of development, and it’s being successfully used in the operation of novertrunnions. Moreover, whenever a forescent skor motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration.”

Ice Cube Drops Out Of Movie After Refusing To Get Vaccinated
Rapper Ice Cube has reportedly quit a movie he was set to star in after refusing to comply with a requirement that cast members get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Ice Cube was to star in “Oh Hell No” alongside Jack Black. The two teamed up on the project in June.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ice Cube reportedly quit the project after producers for the movie requested that the cast get vaccinated against COVID-19. He was set to be paid $9 million.

New UK Study Proves Vaccine Doesn't Stop Transmission of Delta Variant
Imperial College London published the findings of their 12-month study in The Lancet on Thursday.
“Our findings show that vaccination alone is not enough to prevent people from being infected with the delta variant, and from spreading it onwards, in household settings,” researcher Professor Ajit Lalvani stated. “This is likely to be the case for other indoor settings where people spend extended periods of time in close proximity as will occur increasingly as we head into winter.”
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that the vaccine doesn’t keep people from transmitting COVID-19.
If the vaccine doesn’t keep people from transmitting COVID-19, why would Democrats fire workers, especially essential workers like doctors, nurses, EMTs, police, and firefighters, all of whom were declared heroes last year?

The CDC hits a new low
In contrast - how do I put this politely? - the CDC study is meaningless gibberish that would never have been published if the agency did not face huge political pressure to get people vaccinated.
Let’s take a look.
The study had a bizarre design.
The agency’s researchers looked at 200,000 people who had been hospitalized with “Covid-like” illnesses from January through August in nine states. Right away, this choice sets up the study in a problematic way; for most of that time, people who had received Covid vaccines believed (because the CDC and others told them) that they were at VERY low risk of getting Covid, and certainly symptomatic Covid. Thus they may have been less likely to go to the hospital at all, or be tested for Covid once they arrived.
But put that aside.
Then the researchers decided to compare two groups - people who had definitely had Covid at least 90 days before and received another Covid test around the time of their hospitalization and people who had been fully vaccinated at least 90 days (but no more than 180 days) before and received a Covid test around the time of their hospitalization.
This choice is also bizarre. Those of you who have been paying attention will know that this date range is designed to make the vaccines look as good as possible by testing in the happy vaccine valley, the short period when mRNA vaccines are at maximum effectiveness (in fact, they are probably starting to lose it by the sixth month).
But more importantly, this criteria excluded the VAST majority of the people hospitalized with Covid-like illnesses or tested for Covid.
Only about 1,000 people out of the 200,000 people hospitalized for Covid-like illnesses over the eight months had a previous documented Covid infection. (Given the fact that at least 20 percent of Americans, and probably more like 40 percent, had had Covid by the spring of 2021, this is a strikingly small percentage - and certainly doesn’t suggest long Covid is much of a threat.)

“The reporting obligation itself is a minimal intrusion, particularly considering that police officers already are obligated to provide medical information to their employer,” the judge wrote.
“‘Obey now, grieve later’ is not possible,” Mitchell emphasized. “If every union member complied and was vaccinated by December 31 … they would have no grievance to pursue and there would be no remedy an arbitrator could award. An award of back pay or reinstatement cannot undo a vaccine. Nothing can.”
The judge added that it was his “intention is to enter to narrowest possible order to preserve the unions’ right to a meaningful arbitration. The balance of the City’s vaccination policy remains fully in effect, including the reporting and testing obligations.”
Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot defiantly downplayed the ruling, stressing that the “mandate continues” and she’s focused on “saving peoples’ lives.”

"It's going to be quite difficult for the Covid cult members to continue worshipping Fauci and vaccines after The Hague rules that multiple crimes against humanity have been committed and we begin to commence Nuremberg 2.0 in front of the entire world."

Speaking Out on COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Comes at a Cost—12 Physicians Take the Risk
The frontline medical workers I have spoken with are terrified to talk about their observations. Those who have licenses, primarily doctors and nurses, fear losing them. It is impossible to believe Lee did not feel similar trepidation. She did not receive a response until she engaged the legal firm Siri & Glimstad. Within hours, the attorneys received a response from the director of communications at the FDA directing Lee to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VARES). The FDA representative essentially dismissed her concerns.
However, sometimes one courageous individual can inspire others. According to Lee’s attorney, Aaron Siri, over a dozen physicians have contacted him. Eleven felt compelled to sign declarations about patients’ injuries that they believe were directly caused by the COVID-19 vaccines. Some reported their own injuries from the vaccines, and other physicians dismissed them when they sought treatment. Siri compiled the declarations and sent them to Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Bacerra, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, acting FDA Director Janet Woodcock, and vaccine experts from the FDA and the CDC.
Siri is an attorney who focuses on civil rights, class actions, and commercial litigation. The COVID-19 vaccine is not his first dance with the health bureaucracies. He has represented clients in cases concerning informed consent and mandated medical products. The CDC and the FDA know him from previous work. From the response Siri received, a dispassionate observer might deduce that the agencies prefer to avoid the issues he raises altogether.

9,000 NYC workers on leave as vaccine mandate takes effect
NEW YORK — About 9,000 New York City municipal workers were put on unpaid leave for refusing to comply with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate that took effect Monday and thousands of city firefighters have called out sick in an apparent protest over the requirement, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
About 9 in 10 city workers covered by the mandate have gotten vaccinated and there have been no disruptions to city services as a result of staffing shortages, de Blasio told reporters at his daily news briefing. New York has more than 300,000 city employees.
Firehouses remained open but 18 of the department's 350 units were out of service and "many units are understaffed," Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said. Sanitation workers made an extra pickup on Sunday to ensure trash wouldn't pile up, the mayor said.
"I want to thank everyone who got vaccinated," de Blasio said. "Thank you for getting vaccinated. Thank you for doing the right thing. Thank you for moving us forward."

Study shows dramatic decline in effectiveness of all three COVID-19 vaccines over time
Researchers who scoured the records of nearly 800,000 U.S. veterans found that in early March, just as the Delta variant was gaining a toehold across American communities, the three vaccines were roughly equal in their ability to prevent infections.
But over the next six months, that changed dramatically.
By the end of September, Moderna’s two-dose COVID-19 vaccine, measured as 89% effective in March, was only 58% effective.
The effectiveness of shots made by Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine, which also employed two doses, fell from 87% to 45% in the same period.
And most strikingly, the protective power of Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine plunged from 86% to just 13% over those six months.
The findings were published Thursday in the journal Science.

Wow No wonder they are trying to sell a booster. The shot is virtually useless after a few months. Give it another few months and it WILL be useless. Not much of a vaccine. The people who have the shot getting the virus now ---- placed their faith in a vaccine that that dies out on them. The masks are useless so they don't help Looks like the virus will be with us forever unless we get a shot every 3 or 4 months.
We paid the Chinese to invent this Virus after Faucci was not allowed to play with it any more himself, and that c-sucker is still out of jail and talking sht. Dr. Fauccistein created this monster.
