UK civil service sources said the variant, which is feared to be more transmissible and has the potential to evade immunity, posed “a potentially significant threat to the vaccine programme which we have to protect at all costs”.
I think its supposed to work the other way around. But what do I know.

Down the Memory Hole
Pop Quiz: When is a Racial Hate Crime not a Racial Hate Crime? Answer: When it doesn’t fit the Left’s narrative:
When white teenager Kyle Rittenhouse shot three white men who were violently assaulting him, it somehow got treated by the press and politicians as a racial hate crime. President Joe Biden (falsely) called Rittenhouse a white supremacist, and the discussion of his case was so focused on racial issues that many Americans mistakenly thought that the three men Rittenhouse shot were black.
But when a black man, Darrell Brooks, with a long history of posting hateful anti-white rhetoric on social media drove a car into a mostly white Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring dozens, the press was eager to wish the story away. (The New York Times buried it on page A22.) Even when a Black Lives Matter activist connected it to the Rittenhouse verdict, observing “it sounds like the revolution has started,” the media generally downplayed it.
Prominent media outlets have already lost interest in Waukesha:
Wednesday’s edition of the Washington Post included a brief mention of the mass-death event in the bottom left-hand corner of the front page. The New York Times similarly downplayed the significance of the “6th Death in Wisconsin Crash.”
CNN, meanwhile, was not featuring a single story about the Waukesha tragedy on its homepage as of Wednesday afternoon. The news network, however, did prominently feature an “analysis” piece headlined “Biden spins a message of hope as an anxious nation readies for Thanksgiving,” as well as a report that former president Donald Trump “now has a ninth-degree black belt in taekwondo.”

You’re gonna lose your funding if you continue down this path.
The Arctic Ocean has been warming since the beginning of the 20th century, fueled by a process known as Atlantification, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.
The new research highlights the connection between the North Atlantic and Arctic between Greenland and Svalbard, a region known was Fram Strait, where warmer, saltier water from the south has been steadily infiltrating northern waters.
“Things Are Going Great!”
Sun- With friends like Joe Biden, Canada doesn’t need enemies
If last week’s trip to Washington by the Trudeau government was a success, I’d hate to see what they consider a failure. Since returning from the U.S. capital the Americans have banned P.E.I. potatoes, doubled the duty on softwood lumber and passed the legislation Trudeau wanted to stop, through the House.
Despite the facts in front of them, the Liberals think things are going great.
“We can say it’s a success,” Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said at the end of the Washington trip.

November 26, 2021: Reader Tips
Tonight we’re proud to present a special song called Silver Sleeves. The idea for this song came to us from SDA regular Denise of London, Ontario. Here’s what she wrote:
Silver Sleeves gives a voice to all Canadians whose phlegm starts to flow once the temperature dips. Building on the tradition of Mark Steyn’s Feline Groovy, it’s a humourous offering to Canadians who like hockey, the Bluenose, and medieval insults (Sir Lotsanot, Friar Phelgm, the Dukus of Mucus). Written by my husband James to entertain himself during lockdown, maybe it will amuse you & your followers.
Much thanks to Denise and James for this! Here are some visuals to go along with James’ song. Just mute the sound on the audio until is song is done.
Your snowy or seasonal tips are much appreciated!

Hockey Night In Covid Land
They’re making it up as they go.
Sun- The reason why the NHL hasn’t postponed more games due to COVID-19?
There is no threshold. No exact number. Instead, it’s a case-by-case scenario that is determined by the league, the NHL Player’s Union and medical experts. And it is far from perfect — or fair, for that matter.
The NHL no longer publicizes the daily list of those in COVID protocol. But that doesn’t mean the cases have subsided. Despite having a league that is practically fully vaccinated — Detroit’s Tyler Bertuzzi remains the lone holdout — the pandemic continues to take down players.
Every day, there are new players who have been infected. Most are asymptomatic. And yet, the NHL is still surprised by the rate of infection.
“The number of positive cases is more extensive than we originally anticipated,” said Daly, “but the nature of the cases we are seeing are generally less serious than they were last year, which is obviously a testament to the vaccine.”
A firing offense?
How long will it be before this doctor gets turfed for challenging the standard Covid narrative? If she manages to avoid dismissal, that may be an indication that there is a little more light at the end of this very dark tunnel. She’s definitely pro-vaccine, but still recognizes the bizarre contradictions and futility of many aspects of current Covid strategy.
Politicians need to abandon the quixotic quest for COVID zero, making many of the interventions intended to stop virus circulation irrelevant. Public mask-wearing, social distancing etc. were only going to defer, not eliminate, transmission.
Society also needs to shift how it sees the unvaccinated. The prevailing opinion, including among many of my colleagues, is that the unvaccinated pose a threat to others. Since the vaccinated are still likely to be infected and transmit disease, with similar viral loads as those who are unvaccinated, this is not entirely true.
