Fauci wants vaccine passports at Christmas dinner; the Senate tries to end Biden's Mandates; the WaPo is having a bloody year; all-cause mortality is up — a lot — in the US; and more...
It's sad that the lawsuits for all affected over the mandates have taken so long and the damage has already been done. I pray for the Military and hope this gets settled soon. I am one that has now lost my job due to the mandate. United Healthcare has instituted a COVID policy of which most staff are required to get the jab, stating the shot is safe and effective. Man I hope this comes back to bite them in the you know what. I applied for a religious exemption and was denied because my "business unit" decided that no remote work would be given. They didn't want to set PRECEDENCE! Being let go, not for job performance but because of a shot. In my opinion, is dangerous, I can't believe that people just lined up to get it. Crazy world we live in.
I work for a large Govt Dept and we got an email yesterday about boosters: basically, "don't forget to get your boosters! It's the "best way out" of this problem ...."" (didn't explain HOW, but, whatever...) and crucially, the email said "We are not requiring proof of your boosters shots at this time." Yep. Boosters are coming. And three million Federal workers will become "unvaxxed" overnight. And how are they going to claim an exemption when they already got the first ones? It will be so much harder. (Sukkas!)
Do you know Vaccine Happy Vermont only has 45% overall booster uptake? And even 30% of people over 65 are apparently "not interested" in the boosters? If they add boosters to these idiotic mandates, they will only increase the numbers of the permanent "vaccine hesitant."
My Dept still has not told anyone (about 20,000 people) if we are getting our religious accommodations approved or not. Or even told us when it might happen. I have to spend Christmas wondering if I'll be fired or what. Such horrible cowards they are! But I'm fine to get fired; I've made peace with it and I'll be happy to find a "normal" job and tell everyone exactly what happened. And file a lawsuit of course.
At this point, the best I can tell Dr. Death is some sort of mutant cockroach. "It" spends most of its time hiding. It’s tricky to guess how many there really are. One or two out in the open might mean dozens or hundreds hiding in the walls or beneath the floor. "It" doesn't like coming out in daylight, frequents the sewer, vacations in dumpsters and spreads bacteria and disease with absolute glee. Upon further research, I've discovered that if someone would simply stop filling up "its" water glass this 2-legged, virulent, toxic hemorrhoid would keel over and die in about a week and a half.
"Public health experts are the REAL public menace."
I would argue it's a two-headed monster. Public health experts AND the corrupt, dishonest alphabet legacy media. Without the media's full-on assist and cheerleading and dishonest/nonexistent "journalism", the public health experts would be disgraced and in disrepute for their incompetence and/or dishonesty.
Both, but especially the media, need to be burned to the ground, the earth salted where they stood, and rebuilt from scratch with all new players.
I don't understand how Fauci still has a job. It is clear though that he is in regular contact with health officials all over the world, because they all sound EXACTLY the same in their messaging and tactics
From the moment Bill Clinton absurdly argued the definition of "is" I foresaw a day when definitions of anything would be manipulated by other power-drunk creatures. I hope Fauci speeds up his rhetoric, for evil always slays the wicked when it goes to far - and he's getting really close.
Jeff, one reason why I love your newsletter is that it keeps me informed while laughing, but also inspiring a bit of hope. Today's good news is that the Rs are fighting the mandates. Even if it's futile, hopefully they will see this as a good political strategy, people will get behind them, and this bodes well for litigation.
(NYT) SENATE VOTES TO SCRAP BIDEN VACCINE MANDATES AS REPUBLICANS EYE 2022 ELECTIONS (Help from 2 Democrats)
The action was largely symbolic, but it allowed Republicans to press an attack on Democrats that is likely to be central to their midterm election campaigns.
I was wondering why they were waiting to change the ‘fully vaxxed’ definition- this certainly explains it. I feel deeply sorry for anyone forced to get the jabs to save their jobs, only to now now be forced to take boosters to keep their jobs. I can only hope that causes more people to resist.
So Alex Berenson just announced what I knew was coming: colleges are starting to require boosters.
"Bowdoin College and Syracuse University are just two of the institutions of higher education now telling students to get boosted or get lost. Here’s Bowdoin’s email from yesterday: “effective January 21, 2022, Bowdoin is requiring all students, faculty, and staff to receive a COVID-19 booster shot within thirty (30) days of becoming eligible.”
So my college daughter, who is regrettably double-vaxxed, will be forced to get the booster...and no religious or medical exemption could possibly be considered since she already consented last spring.
We need to fight more than government mandates. We need to shut down this absolute shitshow.

Coffee tastes so.much better with your daily current info. Just a big THANK YOU to you.

They need to go, all of them.
For about a half year, Washington's electronic highway signs have been telling drivers this:
Together Let's End Covid
Please Vax Up
As Jeff notes, the virus is very much still around in the state.
Thank you very very much for your news letter. It takes some of my
anxiety away from what's happening in this crazy world!! Thank you again!

Hey! Spoiler Alert, dude!
"And, things didn’t turn out too well at the end of the movie for either Khan or Thanos."
I suppose next C&C you're gonna tell us that rosebud was his....HA! No way.
I know exactly what my family would say about Fauci’s idea for get togethers. The polite version can be summed up in one word: No
I’ll be going home for Christmas. Thank God we all live in Florida
I'm surprised Jeff (or no one else here) has mentioned Advent Health in FL has stopped the jab mandates for their employees. Big news!

And then I read one of my other favorite substacks and I am back to crying. A great piece written by the wife of a heroic physician. Worthy of reading and sharing: https://rescue.substack.com/p/the-despicable-defamation-of-a-lifesaving/comments
