Seizure Salad

Medrxiv- Safety of Monovalent BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech), mRNA-1273 (Moderna), and NVX-CoV2373 (Novavax) COVID-19 Vaccines in US Children Aged 6 months to 17 years

In this study including 4,102,106 vaccinated enrollees from three commercial claims databases, myocarditis or pericarditis signaled after BNT162b2 (12-17 years) and a new signal was detected for seizures/convulsions after BNT162b2 (2-4 years) and mRNA1273 COVID-19 vaccinations (2-5 years).

Flushing capital

Rising compliance costs are one big reason for the sharp increase in housing and construction prices, and while some levels of government express concern and desire to lower those costs, other jurisdictions can’t wait to saddle builders with even bigger burdens.

B.C. construction projects with more than 25 workers must have access to a flushable toilet, according to a law to be introduced by Premier David Eby.

Another Win For The SaskParty

Winning so hard, I don’t know if I can handle this much winning.

A member of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission has resigned, citing the provincial government’s proposed pronoun policy.

In an email to Premier Scott Moe, Heather Kuttai said her decision to resign as one of the organization’s six commissioners — which is effective immediately — “did not come lightly.”

“I strongly disagree with the proposed legislation that requires teachers to seek parental permission to change a child’s name and/or pronouns when they are at school,” Kuttai wrote. “This is an attack on the rights of trans, non-binary, and gender diverse children, which, contrary to what is being reported, is actually a very small number of kids.”

Kuttai, who was appointed to the commission in 2014, said she believed the commission was designed to uphold individual rights. She suggested the proposed legislation doesn’t provide that protection for children.

“A child’s rights must always take precedence over a parent’s obligations and responsibilities,” she wrote. “Removing a child’s rights, in the name of ‘parental rights’ is fundamentally anti-trans and harmful.

Like a self-weeding garden, the ‘Parents’ Bill of Rights’ has begun to remove the groomers from our institutions, one hissy fit at a time.

Rambling word salads

After listening to this fool trying to explain what she saw during the Ottawa protest, you have to come to the conclusion that the last place Tamara Lich and Chris Barber should be is in a courtroom being subjected to this circus. There’s a crucial difference between describing events that you actually saw as opposed to describing events that you imagined that you saw.

“I didn’t feel safe but it’s hard to describe it as unsafe at the same time…”

“…when they’re bouncing their trucks and their cars…..[long pause]…..I don’t know how to describe it other than roaring at us…like, roaring at me with these large giant vehicles…”

Milking consumers

I suggest we go one step further: simply close down supply mismanagement and end the marketing boards altogether.

I Was Assured There Would Be No Consequences

Hey, it’s an easy mistake to make. Accidentally putting on a balaclava and stalking someone, based on their race, then menacing them, and tasing them, and tugging the wedding ring from their twitching finger, and then barging into their home and taking their stuff. And then doing it all over again, and again, and again, all entirely by accident. I mean, who here hasn’t done it?

And as we’ve been told, repeatedly, from on high, the creatures who do such things are just like us.

On crime and (belated) punishment.

Voting for dollars

Any predictions out there as to who is going to triumph in the Manitoba provincial election being held on October 3rd?

Here’s mine: The tax and spend party is going to win out over the borrow and spend party.

Here’s why: voters are upset that seven years of rule by the borrow and spend party have not fixed socialized medicine. As happens in every election cycle, each party takes a stab at trying to make this centrally planned system function. It’s now the NDP’s turn to engage in a vain effort to accomplish the impossible. No one dares challenge the single payer model since that would result in electoral defeat.

Wab Kinew’s plan to reopen the ERs closed by the Tories is only going to happen by shifting staff from other areas, since extra staff are largely unobtainable. If you really want to determine the proper number of ERs that Manitoba needs, you would have to allow free interaction between health care practitioners and consumers in the context of a system with actual price signals. Since we have neither, good luck to Wab.

No profits for you!

One really has to wonder why any investor would ever sink a dime into France.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Sunday the government would ask the fuel industry to sell at cost price and would grant 100 euros ($106.52) in aid to the poorest workers who drive to work, to stem the impact of inflation on households.

“The Prime Minister will bring together all the players in the sector this week and we will ask them to sell at cost price, that is to say that no one makes a margin,” Macron said in an interview with France’s TF1 and France 2 television stations.

 

What’s The Opposite Of Diversity?

Univer$ity.

Boston University hired Ibram X. Kendi to lead its new Center for Antiracist Research in 2020, a year marked by a global pandemic and nationwide racial tension.

Three years later, after at least $43 million in grants and gifts and what sources say has been an underwhelming output of research, the Center for Antiracist Research laid off almost all of its staff last week.

Multiple former staff members allege that a mismanagement of funds, high turnover rate and general disorganization have plagued the Center since its inception.[…]

Former staff members said the Center appeared to prioritize fundraising and revenue over research.
