The latest round of free Covid home tests is now available--- this time they will send 8 total tests, as opposed to the four they sent in the first two rounds.

The tests are available at:

https://www.covid.gov/tests

I was going to provide a link to free covid tests via USPS but apparently that is expired now. I seem to be the only person who never contracted it. My son got it from school. Was VERY sick for a week. Poor little guy sounded like a frog. I have had $1000 in shoots cancel this month because of covid. I am not sure if this is the new "my grandma died" or just everyone but me has had it. I am $700 behind in rent because of this that is due tomorrow. I am SOOOOO tired of this thing. It feels like it is creating ptsd.

It completely killed my almost two decade career. No one is creating anymore. Every model I know but myself has an OF now. No matter how many shoots I book, EVERYONE is sick. I'd currently rather work sick if I were but that is obviously not responsible. Rock and hard place or whatever the saying is.

When this all started, I knew it could be bad. I was worried about the disease and the deaths it might cause and the impact on the economy--and the school kids..... BUT I NEVER DREAMED HOW BIG AN IMPACT IT WAS REALLY GOING TO HAVE.

As a senior citizen, in my circle of friends and family pretty much everybody lost someone- either a relative or friend.

In working adults the disease was bad, but the impact on their jobs was devastating... Plants closed, small business simply vanished--- as Sarah says the arts disappeared with all that means---

but the kids--- their education is permanently scarred. It will take years for some to regain their readings skills--- the dropout rate went thru the roof, the college entrance rates plummeted. The impact on their lives is immeasurable, the impact on the future workplace is impossible to calculate.

It is unbelievable. I mean we are STILL living in this almost 3 years later. I don't know about you all, but I have completely lost track of time. I was signing something recently and I said; "what year is it?" Wtf.

I went through some pretty heavy depression through this. I mostly made it through but it is still there. I mean my CAREER of being a traveling model is over. Everyone just put a camera down and never picked one up again. Recently I realized photographers who used to hire me frequently haven't logged on in a year or two so I have been messaging them to see if they just stopped photographing or if they are even alive. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth.

The kid thing and school - my son seems to be the only kid I know that flourished being home schooled. He is autistic and mentally challenged so, of course, he hates being in public school. My sister's kids are all a grade behind and they missed pivotal moments in high school like homecoming, prom, and graduation. They all tell me they are scarred from it.

"one he came to the door, and inexplicably walked back to the intruder, and the other....they police opened the door and the two were both holding the hammer. the truth."

Realizing innuendo is one of the MAGA cult's favorite tactics, just say what you mean. Spit it out. Or better yet, just shut the fuck up.

"and to even tie this in to the Pelosi incident....the truth..... has been suppressed in BOTH accounts. something funny was going on."

Just so we can understand the workings of the MAGA "mind", explain the logic used in linking Covid with the Paul Pelosi incident. Go ahead, we all need a good laugh since Herschel has been muzzled.

OPPORTUNISTIC LIARS FIND OPPORTUNITY AND LIE!

Big surprise.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/12/opinions … ndex.html.
excerpts:

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia tweeted: “Before the covid vaccines we didn’t see athletes dropping dead on the playing field like we do now… How many people are dying suddenly? Time to investigate the covid vaccines.”

Throughout the pandemic, right-wing media outlets and personalities have repeatedly questioned the safety of Covid-19 mRNA vaccines, amplifying the unfounded claims of vaccine skeptics. On Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show the night after Hamlin’s collapse, Dr. Peter McCullough, a Dallas cardiologist and loud critic of Covid-19 vaccines, suggested that, “vaccine-induced myocarditis,” may have caused Hamlin’s episode.

Carlson told his audience, “Hamlin was still lying on the field, receiving CPR when self-described medical experts in the media, people with no demonstrated medical ethics at all, effectively witch doctors, decided to use his tragic life-threatening injuries as an opportunity to spread still more propaganda about the Covid shots. ‘It could not have been the shot,’ they told you. ‘Shut up.’ But, they’re lying. They don’t know that.”

During the same show, Carlson insinuated that athletes have been dying because of the Covid-19 vaccine, “Since the vax campaign began, there have been more than 1,500 total cardiac arrests in those leagues and two-thirds of those were fatal,” he claimed. 

Those statistics about deaths in athletes, promoted by Carlson, was taken from an letter published in a Scandinavian journal, whose only attribution was “GoodSciencing.com,” (which is about as credible as it sounds).

This is not the first time a tragedy has been used to promote Covid-19 vaccine disinformation. In December, in the aftermath of the sudden death of soccer journalist Grant Wahl, social media burned with cruel and false rumors that Wahl’s death was caused by the vaccines which his wife, Dr. Celine Gounder, advocated for.

An autopsy in New York subsequently found Wahl died of an unrelated ruptured aortic aneurysm.

As Gounder noted in an op-ed she later penned for the New York Times, she wanted to share the truth about the cause of her husband’s death to squash rumors that it had been the result of a Covid-19 vaccine.

The truth is, there is no evidence to suggest athletes have been dying due to the vaccines, and much is known about their safety. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 650 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been administered in the US, and their safety profiles have been well documented. Potential adverse vaccine events are collected by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

Earlier this week, Hamlin, who has since returned home from the hospital, went through “a comprehensive medical evaluation,” according to the Bills, but no cause of his cardiac arrest has been made public. It remains most likely, however, that Hamlin’s cardiac arrest just seconds after absorbing Higgins’s hit, was the result of “commotio cordis.” This uncommon, but well-described, phenomenon, named from the Latin for “agitation of the heart,” is a consequence of a potentially lethal arrhythmia generated by trauma to the chest at a precise and vulnerable moment in the heart’s electrical cycle."

If you have a medical emergency, hope that you are treated by real doctors rather than Republican quacks and politicians.

I do find it concerning that in 45 years of watching sports I only ever remember a single case of someone dropping like a stone on the field, in the last 2 years I've seen it over a dozen times and just from watching my usual games.  I'm sure it's nothing, get your boosters.

Your method of applying a series of parts of alcohol fueled days of observations of random, unidentified people, using a different sample each day, while on the beach or in a bar, to determine the local infection and death rates, was not a scientific study.  Unless you been watching the clips you lot falsely claim as evidence and pass around among the gullible, neither is your likely exaggerated claim of the number of over a dozen people you have witnessed "dropping like a stone on the field."  If you are watching clips, then your sample is nothing more then a self-fulfilling prophecy. You certainly don't provide evidence of the events or the associated causes- they would probably be debunked, certainly not supportive of your claims.  The propensity of the lunatic rightist vaccine septics blame every sudden medical event on the covid vaccine- and exonerate the disease of covid-19 itself, and its several variants- which is not illustrative of a reasoning or inquisitive mind.  But let's be clear- you are the doctor that has treated the dozen people you saw drop, so you actually have the expertise to know what you are talking about, right?

That you would continue to promote these thoughtless, inconsiderate and insensitive tropes, in addition to the cold hearted and Dunning-Kruger like, rightist bandwagon expressions you made in the quoted post and the subsequent one you delivered, is meant to be indicative of a man with some compassion?  If so, you missed the mark.  You laugh- and then go out of your way to make a public display of gleeful ignorance- because someone got sick from something that he was not vaccinated for?  As if you are immune?  When vaccines are not 100% protection?  As if that illness was- what- ironic?  Anticipated?  Deserved?  Or you just made a stupid and insensitive comment?  Oh yeah, that's right- ignoring basic human decency protocols and manners makes you powerful because you are rejecting being politically correct?  Your laughter was not funny.  It is pathetic, juvenile, and debased.

Has anyone wished you ill in this thread despite your obnoxious, ill-informed, insensitive and falsehood laden contributions?  Did anyone act with schadenfreude in regards to you or your father's health? 

You should be embarrassed.

This claim really took off with Marjorie Taylor Greene's tweet: "Before the covid vaccines we didn't see athletes dropping dead on the playing field like we do now... Time to investigate the covid vaccines."

I'm afraid that the "fact checkers" have already proven this anti-vax myth completely false.  It's ALWAYS been happening, and no, there's hasn't been any big change.

It just didn't stick in people's memory unless they thought it was extremely unusual (i.e. part of some "conspiracy", etc).


The BBC summarized the various scientific studies on the phenomena this way:

"A US study looking at athletes over four years found many unexplained deaths were in fact caused by cardiac arrest - a cause more common in male and African-American players."


"Previous studies PRE-DATING COVID-19 note that there are approximately 100 to 150 sudden cardiac deaths during competitive sports in the United States each year."


I realize that you weren't trying to deliberately spread false anti-vax information.  But it's still completely false.

See, once again, Marjorie Taylor Greene's bullsh*t claims are a REALLY BAD source of scientific information.  Surprise, surprise...

Your January 23rd post was about the high numbers of athletes that were dying as a result of the covid shot.  You yourself, you claimed, witnessed over a dozen drop like a stone.  You did not support your contentions with anything.  You were refuted.

As a response, on January 27th, you came back and supported your previous contention with- not undeniable fact, not by providing reputable sources, not by expanding and explaining your argument, but with a trip through the fantasy zone of opposite land, where you, who has ignored scientific efforts and fact in favor of the most absurd and juvenile arguments- you claimed that it was not you that had been constantly wrong.  The problem is, when you stand in front of a mirror and point your finger at the face you see in the reflection, and you tell the reflection they are wrong- it is still you that is wrong.

What you did come back with is a completely different argument and you referenced it to an article in the New York Post- a corny tabloid that likes to inflame rather than inform.  The New York Post is not a reputable source and if you had read your linked article, you might have noticed that it was no more than a she said this and that, based on what she thought and believed- much like you- and not conclusions based on a rigorous scientific study and evaluation of the numbers. 

Counting things and categorizing things that have multiple faucets and where judgement calls are made, is not the easiest thing in the world to do.  Limits for classifications can be arbitrary.  When selecting beads and dividing them into red or blue groups, what happens with the ones that are various shades of purple?  Is a warm blue an blue or does that hint of red make it a red?  Real people have to decide this about disease.  Would the person have died id COvid-19 was not a contributing factor?  It is easy for a drunk on the beach to make proclamations when they are not accountable for the things that they say. 

The claimants in the article do not cite factual numbers for the over counts.  But, get this- you missed this and it is rather important:  "Wen added, “Doron acknowledges that there is a gray zone in the data in which COVID might not be the primary cause of death but could have contributed to it.”

Towards the end of her piece, Wen declared, “To be clear, if the COVID death count turns out to be 30 percent of what’s currently reported, that’s still unacceptably high.”"   Let me repeat that for you: “To be clear, if the COVID death count turns out to be 30 percent of what’s currently reported, that’s still unacceptably high.”  You have expressed a noticeable lack of concern for the lives of other people.  That you did not notice that one of the people that you think is supporting your view indicated that if less than one third of the deaths reported were the actual number of the deaths reported,  "THAT IS STILL UNACCEPTABLY HIGH."  You, who has denied there was a pandemic- though now seem to admit there was, is unqualified to be a judge of who was right and wrong.

I invite you to read the responses to your latest effort to disparage yourself, and come back with another unrelated topic, which you will somehow think supports your position on a previous item you were wrong about.  Or maybe, you really do know that you are deflecting away from one losing argument with another losing argument.  For another year you will repeat misinformation and make the most godawful attempts to be right and fail miserably.

I stand by all that, those 5 plus million died after the release of the "cure", interesting enough the control group which would be Africa since they pretty much rejected the "cure" don't have those kinds of numbers dying.  Leads to the conclusion that it's not the disease but the cure doing the killing.

Yes, taking a camera and ambush someone to disclose secrets they're keeping is "right wing", that's not journalism, I mean what kind of nut would think that getting camera confessions equals getting the truth out?  NO, NO, we should all do the "left wing" thing and just give our opinion on the matter and tell people that's the truth, you don't even need evidence, we can just get some opinion fact checker to say it's fact checked as fact because it was reported in the opinion news.

I doubt that the moderators are paying attention anymore.   But, back in the day, anyone putting out that kind of deadly misinformation (the Covid vaccine is, supposedly, killing people, not Covid-19) would be long gone.

As many will remember, those new rules (banning those spreading Covid-19 and vaccination misinformation) were brought in immediately after (as a result of?) a wild rampage of Globefunseekers posts making those wild Covid ("no pandemic") denial and anti-Covid vaccination claims.

I tell you what, I'll apologise if you can find any way to explain why an entire continent of people in cities with huge populations the like of Nairobi, Lagos, Cape town, etc, without vaccinations managed to have about normal death rates for the last 3 years while the western countries US, Canada, Europe had it wayyyyy worse.  And then explain why the death rate is 4X more after the vaccination vs before.  then when you try to say that it was the unvaccinated, explain why it was the elderly who died most of which got vaccinated, not the younger under 50s who about a third refused it.

From Mediabiasfactcheck website;
Overall, we rate CNN left biased based on editorial positions that consistently favor the left, while straight news reporting falls left-center through bias by omission. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks by TV hosts. However, news reporting on the website tends to be sourced adequately with minimal failed fact checks. You should try to choose better examples when referencing websites to bolster your conclusions.The one you chose just shot your argument in the foot.

Then again who is Mediabiasfactcheck?

Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) is an American fact-checking website founded in 2015 by editor Dave M. Van Zandt

Under Methodology;
Van Zandt admits he is not an expert and that "his methods are not rigorously objective."[5]
Further Comments(all properly cited on the page);
"Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."

Columbia Journalism Review described Media Bias/Fact Check as an amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and characterized their assessments as "subjective assessments [that] leave room for human biases, or even simple inconsistencies, to creep in".
It seems only right that you would choose an non-scientific slipshod source to back up your conclusions.
