I’m finding this absolute desperation to get this stuff into people even although more negative information seems to come out daily, quite obscene. It reminds me of one of the farce plays so popular in British culture a couple of decades ago.

That's also my impression, esp. in terms of the trotting out of this weird healthcare economist who's spouting nonsense (check out my last posting). There's not much more to say: desperation, coupled with fatalism.

Still, the level of weirding is impressive.

Boosta is clearly a phallic symbol and an expression of toxic masculinity, and has to be deconstructed.

Bruahahahaha.

Also: it's a sad manifestation of a particularly cringeworthy mind.

Boosta certainly raises the bar of cringe, but alas, we Americans still cannot be outdone.

Behold. The Vaxscene Dance from late night comedian and former voice of reason against the authoritarian elements of the US Government (during the Bush years at least) Stephen Colbert.

Oh, yes, I've seen this one.

In Mr. Colbert's defence, it was quite a vaudeville impression, and it happened in what feels like a lifetime ago. To still push this crap like that this autumn, well, what can I say…

I've never taken delight in someone getting sick with Covid, but I have to admit I wasn't sad when he had to cancel shows for weeks a few months after this dance number.

Same here.

I do remember a roadside food stall on the Big Island long a time ago: there was no person present, a 'pay here' sign--and another one informing those who'd like to steal that 'karma is a bitch'.

Nuff said, I suppose.

‚Boosta‘ forces not-enough-vaxxed people into more vaxxes, as the propaganda… ahem… PR spokesperson of Viennese ‚Health‘ selectman Hacker, Mario Dujakovic, has stated on Twitter some days ago. Well, he explained the meaning of the new vaxx campaigns and clarified that the target group are citizens who already had 2 or more jabs. As the anti-vaxxers will not get vaxxed anymore, he is sure about that 🤡.

I am not sure what exactly is going on in our Town Hall but the new propaganda campaign seems to be a creation by geniuses on crystal meth or similar substances 😅.

You know, I almost hope the people behind this shitshow are taking something that alters their cognitive state of minds, but, alas, I'm honestly unsure about it.

7 to 8 shots per person over four years is one every six months. Of a shot that has a ~6/1000 likelihood of severe adverse events, ~3/1000 association with excess death over a period of 12 months, and that is more likely to cause you to get the disease for at least two weeks. Maybe someone should do a video of frat brothers running Boosta out of town or lonely Boosta sitting in a jail cell.

Oh, you've already done that math: excellent.

I'dd to this the incidence of non-lethal specifics, such as myocarditis, pericarditis, and the like, to say nothing about reduced sperm motility, changes to menstrual cycles and fertility, and the like.

If it's up to me, I'd put Boosta--and the people who paid for this shitshow--in front of a people's tribunal.

I’ve been running the math for a while for my own purposes, but I don’t keep detailed records so really can’t reproduce sources and methods reliably. But the SAE data was based on US VAERS reports (~1.5M) divided by reported number of persons vaccinated in US as reported by the CDC (~260M). I rounded up to the nearest 1/1000 because the VAERS data underreports. I did NOT apply the estimate that it underreports by ~4.5x. The 3/1000 excess deaths was based on Metatron’s estimate of 40% excess deaths multiplied by the average pre-pandemic US death rate. Just as an aside, the highest estimate that I’ve seen for people saved by vaccination was about 2/1000. Rate change from 3/1000 deaths in the unvaccinated to 1/1000 in the vaccinated. Thinking about the Norwegian data make me wonder if this is still correct at all. Don’t remember where I found the CV19 death rates for vaccinated vs unvaccinated.

Unser Sandmännchen from DDR had at least the courtesy of being a well-made professional production.

This just looks like something teens from compulsory school arts class would put together to pay lipservice to the teacher's requirements.

Anyone actually being persuaded by this needs to undergo full psychatric evaluation.
