Ha! He called Schiff a boomer. This guy is beginning to bump Bolsonaro for the title of “the most entertaining dictator only in the mind of the corporate media”.
During the livestream on 24 October, Mr Bolsonaro claimed that reports “suggest that people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are developing Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (Aids) much faster than expected”. The assertion has been strongly rejected by scientists and medical experts.
I assume he was quoted out of context, and then mistranslated.

We, the project team, are more than willing to expend part of our project budget to get power to our hardware sitting on the loading dock, but the project manager is arguing the datacenter should fund it.
We should not be arguing with our own project manager who is holding up the project as if he’s being asking to pay out of pocket.
It’s all taxpayer dollars from the same agency in the end.
It’s all taxpayer dollars from the same agency in the end.
Well OK, then. Gridlock is good, no matter who is responsible for it.
We already stole it. It’s too late to save the taxpayers or the rotting carcass of this state. I just want to get my job done.
I could understand if the datacenter was saying the project should fund it and the project was pushing for the datacenter to fund it that we’d gridlock.
Come to think of it, it might even be work to be done by a staff electrician using parts on hand. So we’ve not only already stolen the money but spent it on the required components. Bickering over accounting is keeping the work itself from getting done.
Maybe you could tap into that pile of allocated but unused cash? Might as well get in on the grift.
Never mind, electrician beat you to it. Buy a lotto ticket.
Well, they are paying me $100k/year to sit in meetings where we’re arguing with our own project manager…
It’s all about keeping his budget down. If he can make some other program spend the money then he can argue he kept his budget down and he looks good,

Speaking of COVID (so not OT), my alma mater published an online article that said “Research has shown that the immunity that is generated by a natural infection may not last as long as active immunity from vaccination. ”
Forgetting the weasel words “may be,” the Israeli study would seem to be in direct contradiction to this. Is there any context in which their statement could be correct? I’m not aware of any.
There’s your weasel word.
“active immunity from vaccination”
Well see, it’s not active after a couple of months. If you get a booster, your vaccine immunity is active again.
Even then, I don’t think the statement is true.
I don’t think they mean the immunity lasts longer because of the boosters, but who knows these days.
I think they mean “Shut up peasant, and listen to your betters!”
I think that’s all they can mean. It’s essentially tautological – if the efficacy is not as good as natural immunity, that simply means your vaccine immunity is no longer “active”. By definition, in their construct, ‘active immunity from vaccination’ may be stronger. I don’t think there is any period of time where that is true in the real world, but as long as they modify vaccine immunity with ‘active’, it can be weaseled into a tautology. Until the time of active vaccine immunity becomes shorter than the Planck time.

Speaking of COVID Judge halts Biden vaccine mandate for federal contractors nationwide
Good news for certain Glibs, I hope.
Yep, good news indeed. I got Covid in October and received the monoclonal antibodies treatment the same day. Covid itself was nothing for me, headache, sniffles, and a low grade fever that went away the day after the mAb treatment. Two days later the mandate comes down from the head office due to us being federal contractors, but I cannot get a vax for 90 days, Jan 15 or so. So I am hoping this mandate crap goes away and stays away and I can avoid it all together. If I have to jab for my job I will, but not happily.

OT: sounds like there are some squirrels who took up residence in the attic. I just found the holes they chewed in the trim to get in, and I woke up last night to sounds of critters scurrying overhead. Thankfully, it’s a rental, so I snapped a couple pictures and filed a maintenance ticket. Based on previous experience, they’ll come out to fix the issue right before our lease ends in May. ?
“Why is the rent going up?”
“We have brand new trim!”
That’s one of many excuses they’ll be using. Besides being good, quiet, paying tenants, there’s no reason for them to want to keep us on. If they get us out, they can probably charge $500 more per month for this place and have 10 prospective tenants beating down their door on the first day.
There’s a good chance it’s flying squirrels, they love getting warm inside. Easy to trap with a rat size trap, peanut butter on the pan. Until the hole is closed they’ll keep on coming in, there’s lots more in line.
These ones are regular old tree rats. We have some live oaks that hang over the roof and I see/hear the squirrels using the roof as a playground on a daily basis. I’m half tempted to take the pellet gun up into the attic and bag me a few of the bastards.
Nail a rat trap to a board so they can’t haul it away. Bait with p-butter, take a club with you to knock them over the head.
My son in Austin, TX thought he had squirrels ’til one night he saw raccoons coming out of a roof vent. He closed the hole after the ‘coons were out for the evening and solved the problem.
I have 0.22 solutions to the problem.
I would have gone with 0.17 of them to avoid annoying the neighbors.

I had chipmunks in the GA house. The little ultrasonic emitters like https://www.homedepot.com/p/Victor-Pestchaser-Mini-3-Pack-M753K/309338797 worked well enough when put in the attic. Being a rental, you may not need to care — but they’re cheap and beats finding out a squirrel chewed some wiring and started a fire.
Best squirrel wiring story I have is that my Dad had a pickup truck when I was growing up — he left it parked on the driveway which had a bit of a slope, think it was in gear but parking brake for some reason or something (hey — I was young…). Danged squirrel crawled into the engine bay and hot wired it with their little squirrel bodies — it drove itself down the hill and into the woods across the road, catching fire. He had to replace the cab and rebuild the engine. Hence — I’d chase them out if it were me.
The downside of the ultrasonics is that vermin become acclimated to the noise and return. You can use them to drive the critters out, but then have to seal up the entry points immediately.
If you don’t, they’ll be back.

My oldest daughter (21) was sworn into the Air Force today. Her oath of service was given by her grandfather (retired F-4/F-16 pilot), which I thought was pretty cool. I don’t think she really “gets” the significance of Dec 7 at all. She’s been struggling a little up to this point, I hope her time in service fills in her motivation/execution gaps.
I didn’t know you got to fly retired planes.
Congrats to all three of you. What a cool thing for Gramps!
…I hope her time in service fills in her motivation/execution gaps.
Seems like that is a common outcome. Best of luck to her!
I don’t think she really “gets” the significance of Dec 7 at all.
To be fair, the Air Force wasn’t there for that. They don’t get it either.
Yeah, I had the same snarky thought at first… but be fair — the Army Air Force had their own share of losses that day (the incoming B-17 flight, Hickam and other fields, etc.).

If voting worked they wouldn’t let you do it.
Less than a month after mailing 400,000 postcards to Fairfax County residents requesting their thoughts on renaming prominent roads Lee Highway and Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway, the county’s “Confederate Names Task Force” on 30 November met to vote on the prospective name change. The outcome was perhaps predictable for a predominantly lefty suburb of Washington, D.C.: the task force overwhelmingly voted in favor of changing both road names. …
Of the 40,870 responses, 23,500, or about 57.5 percent of respondents, expressed their desire for the road names to remain the same. Another 16,265, or 40 percent of respondents, said they wanted the road names changed (about 2.5 percent of respondents had no opinion or their opinion was unclear). Even if we isolate only the mail responses (96.3 percent of responses), the vote is still strongly in favor of preserving the names: 57.3 percent pro-names, 40.6 percent anti-names.
Yet the task force’s vote was even more lopsided in favor of changing the names: 20 out of 26 CNTF members (77 percent) voted to change Lee Highway and 19 out of 26 with one abstention (73 percent) voted to change Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway. Thus the CNTF ignored the opinions of a clear majority of queried Fairfax County residents who responded to the survey.

The Cleveland Clinic released a statement today announcing some unexpected but exciting news: Viagra may be an effective preventative for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).
A new Cleveland Clinic-led study has identified sildenafil – an FDA-approved therapy for erectile dysfunction (Viagra) and pulmonary hypertension (Ravatio) – as a promising drug candidate to help prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease
“The research team, led by Feixiong Cheng, Ph.D., of Cleveland Clinic’s Genomic Medicine Institute, made the discovery as part of a data-mining study. They performed a large-scale computational analysis of medical insurance data from over 7 million patients, evaluating medicines already FDA-approved and in use as possible candidates for repurposing as therapeutics for the devastating disease.”
Sildenafil came out on top, associated with a 69% (snicker) reduction in the incidence of AD in patients who took the drug.

From Sean’s link:
An Oklahoma judge found a school district’s policy of isolating healthy-yet-unvaccinated students is likely unconstitutional.
Oklahoma County Judge Don Andrews issued an order on Tuesday temporarily blocking an Oklahoma City metro school district from carrying out its policy of placing unvaccinated students into quarantine.
Starting in August, Edmond Public Schools, one of the largest districts Oklahoma, instituted a policy requiring unvaccinated students who had a “close contact” with a person who tested positive for COVID-19 to self-isolate at home.
Even if a student had no signs or symptoms of COVID-19, the school said a quarantine was necessary to prevent the possible asymptomatic spread of COVID-19. Fully vaccinated children were not subject to quarantine policy. School administrators said they implemented the policy after conferring with local health officials.
What a heaping helping of steaming hot bullshit.
Of all the nonsensical drama queening surrounding this, the flagrant efforts to conflate “not vaccinated” with “actively contagious” deserves special mention in the annals of egregious gaslighting.
And “asymptomatic spread” is the special sauce that keeps the crazy going – forever.

Rep. Pappas of NH breaks with NH delegation on vaccine mandates
Friday morning, Pappas announced plans to seek a third term in Congress. WMUR asked him about the mandate issue, specifically the attempt by the Biden administration to use the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) to impose vaccine-or test requirements on workers at private businesses with at least 100 employees.
“What I’ve been calling for is more testing capability, clearer guidelines, and more consideration given to businesses that are moving in the right direction,” Pappas said. “But I don’t think we’re there yet.
“The issue is tied up in court and we have to see where it’s going to come out. But unless we have testing capacity and businesses know that they’re either going to have that capability on-site or know they can access it, it seems to me to be an unworkable proposal.”
It’s weak, but surprising.

White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci told reporters during a White House Covid briefing Tuesday that data from South Africa on new omicron infections “clearly argues towards a high degree of transmissibility.”
Fauci said Tuesday it is too early to draw conclusions about whether omicron causes more severe disease, though he said over the weekend that early reports were encouraging.
The South African Medical Research Council, in a report published Saturday, found that most patients admitted to a hospital in Pretoria who had Covid did not need supplemental oxygen, as was common in previous infection waves. Many patients in the Covid wards were actually hospitalized for other reasons, according to the report.
