#1 All are fallout from the wallop COVID-19 has delivered on the nation

No. It's all fallout of incompetent, duplicitous, and malicious politicians and bureaucrats.

#2 ^ Ditto that and as long as they have the control things will remain the same or worsen.

#3 And now we have yet more negative efficacy data -- not just from Israel but now the U.K. Health Security Agency and Public Health Scotland have (largely) stopped trying to hide the data.

Their own data indicate with crystal clarity: the vaccine boosters cause MORE infections and as many if not MORE deaths than not being vaxxed or just having the first two jabs.

The vaccine is FAILING. Everywhere.

The German doctor "eugyppius" and his many astute commenters show the UKHSA and PHS data here:

#4 The "vaccines" are a scam. Do. Not. Work.

#5 Their counts of the various vaxxed groups are even more screwed up because these public health authorities fail to correctly attribute within the vaxxed-but-no-boost and the vaxxed + boosters.

Sum: They are overstating the efficacy of the boosters and the vaxx -- and yet their own botched-up counts make it clear that the vaccine is ineffective.

To be precise, their attribution problem occurs because they code their cases in such a way that, for the first 14 days post-booster shot, the individual is considered "unboosted." This has the effect of always making the most recent (T minus 14 days) data look better than it actually is.

It's possible that they committed the same error when the first and second jabs occurred, i.e. attributing many of the cases that occurred within 14 days of receiving the vax to the unvaccinated instead of the vaxxed -- and then never bothering to go back and re-allocate those cases correctly.

= a data shitshow

#6 The essence of globalization is: labor is commoditized as mobile capital is free to roam the globe for the lowest cost labor. In contrast, labor is far less mobile, and unable to shift as fluidly and frictionlessly as capital to exploit scarcities and opportunities.

Neoliberalism--the opening of markets and borders--enables capital to effortlessly crush labor. The social democrats, in embracing open borders, have institutionalized an open immigration that shreds the scarcity value of domestic labor in favor of lower cost immigrant labor that serves capital's desire for lower costs.

#8 2 million immigrant workers are missing from the U.S. economy.

Noi, near 30 million have made themselves unwelcome squatters.
