Yeah 2:50pm, all these infections, hospitalizations, and deaths are bullshit.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL /screaming toddler

Go get vaccinated then.

plz take the vax and stop asking questions
it prob wont stop you from catching it or spreading it
plz still take it, it will still save your life
if you get covid-19 while vaxxed, ask your doctor for this other treatment because you might still die
no no! Don’t skip taking the vax and then ask your doctor for the other treatment!
You must take this VAX!

if you don’t get vaxxed then you are a terrible human and you are literally worse than an abortion doctor and the angel of death

More nonsense from Dobbs. He really doesn't want to let go of this power to make people's lives miserable. He needs to be fired and run out of the state.

I personally know two individuals (both females in their 40's) that recently spent over a week in the hospital with covid. Neither had been vaccinated, and one of the ladies had absolutely no underlying health conditions. I'm beginning to think that there's something to the vaccine.

They probably won’t approve the jabs currently in circulation. I’m betting they have a replacement in clinical trials right now to replace the rushed and flawed versions with the uncontrolled spike protein separation that is causing cardiovascular, reproductive, and neurological cell damage.

Governments have paid trillions for the flawed jab they have right now and they are going to use every dose. Everyone wants to get paid. Doctors have been working for big pharma for decades and don’t really care about the consequences as long as they get their money.

That's just what the phony-hoax, fake news/deep state want you sheeple to think! Tucker Carlson told me "THEY ARE LYING TO YOU ABOUT THIS VACCINE," and I believe him. There's no one better at standing up to snobby elites than an heir to the Swanson frozen dinner fortune.

And Trump will be reinstated Friday, according to the My Pillow Guy.

All is well.

3:26 - thank you for your 'brillant' - but totally incorrect - advice.

The only thing waiting for the full FDA approval of the Pfizer and Moderna vacs are confirmation of the processing facilities used to produce the vaccine. The clinical trials and related approvals all were completed and approved prior to the 'experimental' approval.

The drugs are being produced in many different facilities (necessary of course due to the massive quantities being required on a short time frame.) Part of the final approval process is confirming that each and every facility meets the standards required from the initial approval. Yes, for most drugs, this is done prior to FDA providing an approval, ALONG WITH the clinical trials and other testing.

The approval will be for the current version - which is not flawed, as you (with of course your established medical, viroligist, and epidemological education and experience learned from OAN or other social media reading) claim. Unless you can provide some substantive support for your 'expert opinion' that the jabs are 'flawed', STFU.

Can we pass a law to prevent treatment for those eligible to be vaccinated who refuse? They obviously know better than the doctors and shouldn’t be saved if they aren’t willing to help themselves. Some people are just not worth the cost or resources and society would benefit from their absence.

Where is the Governor in addressing this increase of Covid-19 infections besides sending out general defensive messages? The citizens of Mississippi need our governor to lead in this confusing time. Our hospitals are understaffed with nurses, and options for care are severely limited. But, pablum from the governor?

Now, small children are being infected. Governor - please lead, not hide!

Anonymous said...

3:51 It does seem that the vaxed folks are concerned about the consequences of Covid, while the un-vaxed are simply denying everything about it. Yet, the vaxed believe the solution lies in the un-vaxed getting vaxed. What a conundrum we’re in.

i have noticed that there are fewer anti-vax comments now than in march of 2020. it’s safe to assume 6 months from now there will be even less.

vaxed. no fear. no mask except when asked.

here is the doctor that invented the mRNA vaccine explaining that he warned the FDA and CDC of the mistaked made in the rushed and flawed “clinical trials” and they ignored him

He doesn’t try to speculate why but he does opine on the shortcomings of scientific “consensus” when scientists are supposed to always question.

How do you prefer your crow be prepared?

Covid is a hoax, and the vaccine is a way for the government to inject us with microchips (despite the worldwide shortage).

Anonymous said...

It is a flat out lie that 97% of new cases are unvaccinated.

The CDC has already admitted they were using stats from jan-may for this stat. Dobbs et al are being terribly irresponsible by obfuscating about the ineffectiveness of the vaccine for the spread.

"I'll wait until the FDA approves "

I hear this a lot.

It's always from the same folks bitching about the CDC.
They seem to hate one government agency, but are waiting on another to say "get the shot, we've approved it".

Zero Logic.

But whatever, to each his own.

@4:44

That u may notice fewer 'anti vax' comments here. Is that confirmation of ur belief that they are coming over to ur side? Or could it be that are dying off and unable to comment?

Conversely, could it be that those who love the vax are highly motivated to post here to show how virtuous they are?

You need to stop swallowing the media lies. There is not really a microchip shortage. As long as you want 12nm chips and above, you can buy all the chips you want from Global Foundries, Intel, Samsung, etc.

TSMC is the leader in 7nm, 5nm, and now 3nm chip production. Everyone wants production allocation in TSMC’s foundries, including Intel. That means AMD, Apple, Intel, and Nvidia are all competing for allocation buy paying a premium to buy up all available TSMC foundry allocation. AMD has their Ryzen and Radeon RX graphics line plus they designed the SoC for the Xbox and Playstation 5.

Small players who cant prepay billions for allocation have to wait if they want their chips produced.

The demon serum has a nanite cocktail that is activated and controlled by Huawei 5G energy like the Borg collective in Star Trek.
So get it right, brainlet.

"here is the doctor that invented the mRNA vaccine..."

I have no idea what the video might be and have no interest in watching it because if anyone is claiming to have "invented the mRNA vaccine" they would be lying. No specific person "invented" vaccines (and in any case, there are more than one mRNA vaccine - there is no "the" mRNA vaccine), the technology, or mRNA. That said, there is a difference between someone "I invented 'the' mRNA vaccine" and as here, someone claiming another other person "invented the mRNA vaccine." If the person said it, they are knowingly lying. If it was claimed about them and they knew it and didn't correct it, it is about the same thing, but if they did not know it was said, it is not their claim or fault.

The doctor I suspect this might be is Bob Malone, who is a MD (from a real med school) and did some meaningful work on mRNA starting in the 1980s but went a bit...off...a few years ago, prior to COVID. I've read that he has been called "the inventor of 'the' mRNA vaccine" by news outlets, but I have not read or heard that he has or has not made that claim himself. I've heard, but do not know, that he is consumed with the idea that he should be lauded as some sort of medical god, receive some huge sum of money, or both. I know that he has made several other odd, discredited claims, including about COVID and vaccines. I realize that it sounds important to someone who knows nothing about any of this that "the inventor of the mRNA vaccine" said something they can use to argue in support of their anti-vaccination nonsense, but the simple fact is that no single person "invented" even one of the vaccines, much less all of them.

I also know that he did say a while back that very young children should not receive the mRNA vaccines at that time, but since that was the general consensus and they weren't being vaccinated, it didn't and doesn't follow that older children and adults shouldn't be vaccinated, then or now.

I'll also remind folks that sometimes, a combination of fame, finances, and other things cause once-sensible people to do some pretty odd things. Look no further than Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell and all the "Kraken of evidence" nonsense.

I got the vax because for me personally the risk/reward made sense.

However, I am not making fun of conspiracy theorists the way I used to.

I think it's silly to think the vax has microchips, but I think it is equally ridiculous to blindly trust politicians, media and even some doctors as if they cannot be purchased/influenced by groups with billions of dollars of profitability on the line.

The name calling and refusal to acknowledge any validity on the opposite side of your debate topic will kill our nation faster than Covid.

Gibraltar: Doses given 78,528 Fully vaccinated 39,162 % of population fully vaccinated >99%
CDC: Avoid travel to Gibraltar.
If you must travel to Gibraltar, make sure you are fully vaccinated before travel.
Because of the current situation in Gibraltar, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.

Y'all keep your MS tunnel vision.

Dr. Malone is not responsible for the development of mRNA vaccines as he claims to be. He was a contributor to the research into mRNA; however, he's not even one of the most lauded contributors. It's crazy to me that people who believe so much in conspiracy theories fail to pick on some of the most obvious attempts to abuse influence. Dr. Malone has an incredibly powerful agenda for being critical of these vaccines. He is literally promoting alternative treatments....hahah...the guy is trying to line his pockets with gold, he does not give a shit about your wellbeing, he's simply looking to make a quick buck

Anonymous said...

7:35AM, responding to 11:24AM -

I will guess you watched the video and are confirming it is Malone. I have not and have no reason to do so. However, Bob Malone did do some pretty meaningful work on mRNA years ago and it would be both unfair and incorrect to discount his work, at least during that time. That said, if he is now claiming to have "invented 'the' mRNA vaccine," it's truly sad news that such a person would have gone that route. As to the cause or what his motives are (not "might be"), I do not know so I cannot directly address either.

I will say this without hesitation: given the vast consensus among researchers, doctors, etc. who know the science and medicine applicable (and in this particular case have had much more recent direct involvement than Malone), it would be foolhardy to take any "lone voice," pro or con, as the final and only authority on any of the interrelated science and medicine. To take a "lone voice" that is in direct opposition to the 1000s of people who know it is not only foolhardy it is courting disaster. While it is theoretically possible that such a lone voice could be the accurate voice, in cases like this with so many people and so much medicine and science involved, the odds of that being the case are incalculably low.

One thing that is becoming clearer and clearer to me is that the pro-Covid vax mob (which is more often the left, the media, and the government - which are all one and the same) are really a new religion. They are "right," so you should listen to no one other than them. There is NO possibility that anything is or could be wrong with this vax. The clergy (Biden, Fauci, Congress, and the media) have ordained that all should take the vax - without questions - and their denomination are dutifully following. No other side of the story questions are recommended or allowed.

I am in no way against vaccinations. I've had plenty (some within the last year.) What I have a HUGE problem with is the pure amount of disinformation being spread by the Covid vaxers and the amount of obfuscation! I have good reasons for being skeptical of my government, the left, and the media, so I want to draw my OWN conclusions on the vax's safety, based on the information that's available to me. However, when you pro Covid vaxers only allow the pro, but try to hide the con, that's reason enough for me to be concerned. Sort of that The lady doth protest too much, methinks situation. You're just overly pressing everyone, while only making room for one side of the story, so reasoning people - not just following people - tend to see some red flags.

Oh, and you can suck it over the "pandemic of the unvaccinated." It's been proven that vaccinated people can catch and transmit the virus, just like the vaccinated. Shouldn't the unvaccinated be more concerned about you? In fact, the argument can be made that YOU'RE the ones causing the more dangerous variants! Go look up "leaky vaccines" - but, of course, you won't. No need to, because you're "right," right?

@3:24

The vaccinated are not the ones overwhelming the hospital system in MS.

The hospitals are in _bad_ shape, and things are about to get a _whole_ lot worse.

There are shortages of: beds, equipment, personnel, various important supplies needed to administer care for ALL patients, etc.

Hospital in north MS just had a a whole department quit. They have NOBODY, not even temp/travel/etc to fill it.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
