...Here’s a sample of some of the most interesting essays, which have been edited for clarity and length: ... People fly off the handle so fast now, always ready to argue or fight. In the past when two people would have an argument or a physical altercation, people might have tried to step in and try to calm everyone down. Now everybody just reaches for their phone to make sure they can post it. ... The following Wednesday, I taught my last class at Rutger...For me, there is no such thing as a “post-COVID” world.

Undermining the premise for mandates and "passports," a Pfizer executive admitted to the European Parliament on Monday that her company's vaccine was never tested during clinical trials for the ability to prevent transmission of COVID-19. Janine Small, Pfizer's president of international developed markets, was asked by Dutch MEP Rob Roos if the pharmaceutical giant had tested the vaccine "on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market." "No ... you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is happening in the market," she confessed. Roos later posted a video...

[Premier Kenney] promised “a firm date to end the REP and do it in the very near future.” That still won’t please the large and impatient anti-passport crew in his caucus. They’ve reached peak anger over the program and want it to vanish immediately, especially with more demonstrations and blockades threatening over the weekend.... During an earlier virtual caucus meeting on Monday, MLAs were asked if they agreed with ending the passport requirement at once. Not one person disagreed, according to people who were on the meeting. I won’t name sources because revealing details of caucus meetings is grounds for...

Emmanuel Macron does not mince words to attack the unvaccinated in an interview published this Tuesday evening. He explains that he "really wants to *iss them off" and justifies the vaccine pass. Emmanuel Macron raises the tone. In an interview given to "Le Parisien" on Tuesday, the President of the Republic charges people who are still not vaccinated against COVID-19, some of them by deliberate choice. "I'm not to annoy the French. I plague the administration all day long when it it blocks them. Well there, the unvaccinated, I really want to annoy them" says Emmanuel Macron. "So we will...

The Biden administration had a freshly divisive message for the unvaccinated ... 'For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.' This was not a statement of outreach to try to convince the unvaccinated to get vaccinated. It didn't acknowledge the medical reality that vaccination isn't the right move for every citizen. And it certainly wasn't a compassionate message from a guy who ran on unity. Joe Biden's statement was a political one. Politically, he must keep his battle of 'the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated'...

Swedish Company Implants Covid Passport Microchips in Hands.. A Swedish company is making headlines by calling to mind a nightmarish image for Christians around the world. A video from the South China Post went viral Friday for showing the microchip technology recently introduced by the Stockholm-based startup, Epicenter. The company’s “chief disruptor” Hannes Sjoblad demonstrated how their product, the size of a grain of rice, has been adapted as a Covid passport, implanted under the skin in the arm or hand. Sjoblad said the company developed the tech for other purposes, but quickly realized it had potential for use as...

[H/T Cathi]Vaccinated French over-65s who have not yet received a booster vaccine will begin having their Covid passes disabled.France launched the new, tougher rules on Wednesday, which sees vaccinated French people over 65 who have not received a booster vaccine for the Chinese coronavirus beginning to see their Covid passes disabled, despite once being considered fully jabbed.The new measure will affect those who received their last vaccination over seven months ago, with those who have not been subsequently jabbed losing access to cafés, restaurants, and inter-regional travel unless they have a negative Covid-19 test taken within the last 24 hours.According...

There are protests going on all over the world. The Australian feeds seem to be being censored right now, but the films are still on line from France, England and Italy on a pretty regular basis. We are not the only ones in this fight.

They're telling you right in the WIDE OPEN! The CDC is getting ready to transport "high risk" people to 'internment' camps, where they will be segregated for long periods of time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is pushing a new reason to swipe right: vaccination badges and “super swipes” for people who've gotten their coronavirus shots. The Biden administration said Friday it's teaming up with dating apps to showcase the benefits of getting a shot. Apps like Hinge, Tinder, Match and Bumble are offering special incentives to people who roll up their sleeves, including badges showing vaccination status and free access to premium content. BLK and Chispa will boost profiles of those who are vaccinated, to make them more visible to potential matches. And OKCupid will even let users filter...

"My promise is that CDC will continue to follow the science as our guide," Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told senators last week. While Walensky thinks the CDC already is doing that, her premise is contradicted by the agency's history of arbitrary, dubious and ever-changing advice about COVID-19. Early in the pandemic, the CDC, together with the Food and Drug Administration, disastrously bungled the rollout of virus tests, making it impossible to curtail the spread of COVID-19 through contact tracing. Its obstruction of independently produced tests was coupled with irrationally narrow guidelines that initially...

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon (R) issued a directive on Friday barring state officials from requiring people to receive a Chinese coronavirus vaccine before they use state property or services. “Vaccine passport programs have the potential to politicize a decision that should not be politicized,” Gordon said in a statement. “They would divide our citizens at a time when unity in fighting the virus is essential, and harm those who are medically unable to receive the vaccine.” “While I strongly encourage Wyomingites over the age of 16 to get vaccinated against COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus], it is a personal choice based upon...

Because of the natural mutation the clever little RNA strand undergoes—it is clear to anyone with a critical mind that the Covid vaccines will go the way of the flu vaccines: An annual affair if one chooses to make it so.Choice, alas, is quickly becoming a quaint concept in Covid-compliant America. Vaccine PassportsThe possibility of a vaccine passport, a “certification of vaccination that reduces public-health restrictions for their carriers,” has been floated. Unfinessed, it amounts to, “Your Papers, bitte!”While Fox’s Tucker Carlson did term the idea an Orwellian one—it took civil libertarian Glenn Greenwald, the odd-man-out among the authoritarian Left,...

Speaking to Steve Hilton, Wolf said "I am not overstating this, I can't say it forcefully enough, this is literally the end of human liberty in the West if this plan unfolds as planned." "Vaccine passports sounds like a fine thing if you don't understand what those platforms can do. I'm CEO of a tech company, I understand what this platform does. It's not about the vaccine, it's not about the virus: It's about your data. "And once this rolls out you don't have a choice about being part of the system. What people have to understand is that any...

Joe Biden’s long-delayed press conference included obsessive references to Donald Trump, at one point bizarrely exclaiming “Oh God, I miss him.” Our border agents surely miss Trump, as they are overrun by illegal aliens attracted by Biden’s invitation to unlawful immigration from Central America. Yet Biden refuses to visit our patrol agents despite the humanitarian crisis that is attracting worldwide attention. Trump, showing his tremendous character, declared that he plans to visit the border and thereby illustrate the lack of leadership in the White House today. Biden announced that he had assigned Vice President Kamala Harris to handle the border...

The White House is working on a COVID-19 vaccine passport initiative that could be required for travel, sporting events and even eating out, reports The Washington Post. The report comes as major U.S. airlines and nearly 30 travel and labor groups are pushing President Joe Biden to develop a standardized, government-backed credential to "accelerate safe economic activity and recovery." "The U.S. must be a leader in this development," the groups wrote in a letter to COVID-19 Recovery Team Coordinator Jeff Zients on Monday. "The current diverse and fragmented digital health credentials used to implement different countries' air travel testing requirements...

In 2004, Boris Johnson, now the UK’s Prime Minister, famously wrote: “If I am ever asked, on the streets of London, or in any other venue, public or private, to produce my ID card as evidence that I am who I say I am, when I have done nothing wrong and when I am simply ambling along and breathing God’s fresh air like any other freeborn Englishman, then I will take that card out of my wallet and physically eat it in the presence of whatever emanation of the state has demanded that I produce it. "If I am incapable...

Phone app records whether traveler is corona compliant.. Passengers on United Airlines and Cathay Pacific traveling out of Heathrow Airport will begin testing a new ‘COVID passport’ that in the future will check if someone has been vaccinated before they travel. The technology is called CommonPass and will let people travel without being quarantined if they download an app to their phone which contains a negative COVID test or a vaccine certificate. “The phone software is a digital health pass which can hold a certified COVID-19 test status or show someone has been vaccinated in future in a way designed...
