There seem to be a lot of #BlueMAGA voices that are outraged at any perceived maligning of what they believe to be Joe Biden's heroic management of the pandemic he declared "over" in '23 - the one that is, in fact, ongoing.

"He did the best he could."

No. He did what Impact Research told him to.
The first page of a memo from a public relations firm, Impact Research, to President Joe Biden and his staff on February 24, 2022 (about a third of the way through the deadliest few months of the pandemic to date). In summary, the memo states that two years into the pandemic, people are over it and want to get back to normal, and that "nearly every American finally has the tools to protect themselves from this virus." The first two bullet points read "Declare the crisis phase of COVID over and push for feeling and acting more normal", and "Recognize that people are 'worn out' and feeling real harm from the years-long restrictions and [next words underlined] take their side."

I hear the Network State had a very rough night at the Cloverdale City Council.

It’s the People of Cloverdale vs The Network State.
gilduran.com Gil Durán @gilduran.com · 1d
Cloverdale, a tiny town in Sonoma County, California, is being invaded by secretive investors who want to build a new "town."

Of course, the backers of "Esmeralda" have very deep ties to the Network State cult and Peter Thiel.

Can't get over this bizarre essay Peter Thiel wrote in January, promising "apocalypse" and "truth" — and also amplifying conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein's death.

Given Thiel's relationship to Epstein, this get weirder and weirder with time.

I know folks want to make everything about Trump, but the FBI started this investigation while Biden was president.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group. Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier. “I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

Lots of questions about the upcoming influenza season. I answer what I know over here. It is doubly important to get a flu shot this year (and your COVID shot too!!).
Sabina Vohra-Miller Let's Talk Flu Influenza 2025 - what you need to know New strain H3N2 is one of the strains that is included each year in the flu shot. However, this year we have seen a very rapidly spreading evolved version, with seven mutations. Early estimates suggest that the flu shot might not be a good match. In general, H3N2 tends to cause more severe disease, hospitalizations and deaths particularly in the elderly and the very young. Early start Typically flu season tends to ramp up in December and peaks in January/February. However, we are seeing an early start in many countries in Europe and Asia. In Canada, while we are still under the 5% positivity threshold, we did see a doubling in percent positivity from last week - cases are increasing rapidly. Anticipating high number of cases Due to the mutations and the early start, we are likely going to see yet another year of record cases and subsequently hospitalizations and deaths. The southern hemisphere also had two back-to-back brutal influenza seasons. We are also anticipating similar impacts in Canada and the US. Still important to get a flu shot While the flu shot may not be a perfect match, it will still provide some benefits particularly in preventing severe illness. New data published by the UK HSA this week shows the 2025-2026 vaccine is 70-75% effective at preventing hospital visits in children and 30-40% effective in adults. Other ways to protect yourself This would be a good time to begin masking in indoor spaces. Also, extra precautions to protect elderly, children, immunocompromised and pregnant people.

Tracy is a quack sports physician who used her own pre-pubescent child as a prop to spread lies about a virus that has disabled, hospitalized, and killed countless kids. She was also co-author on a paper which incompetently claimed the CDC was hallucinating pediatric COVID-19 deaths. She is a sadist
Tracy Beth Hoeg tweeting out a photo of her son skiing: “ My 11 year old son really said it best... "why should I get vaccinated for a disease that is not a risk to me"?

As the delta variant ripped through the south, wrecking her previous prediction kids were protected by adult vaccines, Hoeg looked at random squiggles and concluded pediatricians were too stupid to test their patients.

This myth gained a lot of traction in Florida I was later told.

Anyone who has had Covid is a candidate for #LongCovid. Yes, you too. And with that comes a myriad of health symptoms. Significant allergies can be one of them. Covid is an insidious disease and, even if you're vaccinated, you are not magically immune. Be alert. You do not want Long Covid.

So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone.

Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

New data from Japan adds evidence that COVID-19 may raise shingles risk.

The findings come from nearly 400,000 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from 2020–2023, showing a higher incidence of shingles for a full 6 weeks after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
