It’s Thursday On Turtle Island

Abstract

Recently, The Lancet published a study on the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and the waning of immunity with time. The study showed that immune function among vaccinated individuals 8 months after the administration of two doses of COVID-19 vaccine was lower than that among the unvaccinated individuals. According to European Medicines Agency recommendations, frequent COVID-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible. The decrease in immunity can be caused by several factors such as N1-methylpseudouridine, the spike protein, lipid nanoparticles, antibody-dependent enhancement, and the original antigenic stimulus. These clinical alterations may explain the association reported between COVID-19 vaccination and shingles. As a safety measure, further booster vaccinations should be discontinued. In addition, the date of vaccination should be recorded in the medical record of patients. Several practical measures to prevent a decrease in immunity have been reported. These include limiting the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including acetaminophen to maintain deep body temperature, appropriate use of antibiotics, smoking cessation, stress control, and limiting the use of lipid emulsions, including propofol, which may cause perioperative immunosuppression. In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccination is a major risk factor for infections in critically ill patients.

The Daily Courier- Trudeau’s muted trip to Kelowna a Liberal success

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s summer listening tour’s stop in the Okanagan was as silent as advertised Tuesday.

He toured a Boys and Girls Club, a packinghouse, and a fruit stand with reporters invited to take pictures and videos but forbidden in advance to ask any questions. Any shouted queries would result in police-assisted eviction from the various premises, handlers told the media.

First you have to find him.

That’s likely because the Prime Minister’s Office was extremely vague on just where exactly he was going to show up in the Okanagan. The PMO’s website didn’t even refer to Kelowna or Summerland – the two cities where he was to put in appearances – saying only the PM would be the “Interior Region, British Columbia’.

As a result, anyone inclined to protest Trudeau’s visit would have been hard-pressed to know where to take their placards.

Scratch a Leftist

Strange things are happening in South Texas:

A Texas blogger paid by Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez’s campaign is attacking Republican opponent Rep. Mayra Flores as “Miss Frijoles” and a “cotton-pickin’ liar,” prompting a wave of denunciations by fellow Democrats.

The language first surfaced three days after Gonzalez’s campaign wrote a $1,200 check to The McHale Report blog June 24 for “advertising services,” according to the Democrat’s Federal Election Commission finance report.

Jerry McHale is the pale white blogger in question and, post after post, his horrific racist bonafides are exemplified with most every single post. Thankfully Mayra Flores is not backing down and is calling out her opponent and his Racist Blogger BFF for their deep-seated hatred.

The Government They Voted For

Good and hard;

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday demanded the federal government help pay for what he said was a wave of asylum seekers pouring into the city, claiming its safety net was being strained by busloads of people coming from border states and elsewhere.

Adams’ comments echo those of Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who took to national TV Sunday morning to say her city’s homeless shelters were filling up because of buses being sent en masse to the city from Texas and Arizona.

But as opposed to D.C., the problem in New York City is exacerbated by its “right to shelter” mandate, which means any homeless asylum seeker who comes to town, by any means, has to be put in a bed somewhere.

“Currently, New York City is experiencing a marked increase in the number of asylum seekers who are arriving from Latin America and other regions. In some instances, families are arriving on buses sent by the Texas and Arizona governments, while in other cases, it appears that individuals are being sent by the federal government,” Adams said in a statement, adding that more than 2,800 asylum seekers had entered the shelter system in recent weeks.

But the offices of both Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey denied Adams’ claim, saying in separate statements that they were in fact sending asylum seekers to Washington – but not to New York City.

In turn, a spokesperson for Adams responded to those pushback claims, saying that the governors “should have more compassion for those seeking asylum in this country,” and repeated the city’s request for federal assistance.

Medically Assisted Suicide Killing

There, I fixed it.

A 71-year-old widower was admitted to a Southwestern Ontario hospital after a fall. His family says during his admission he contracted an infectious diarrheal illness. He was humiliated by staff for the smell of his room, his family said. He developed a new shortness of breath that was not comprehensively assessed. In this context, a hospital team member suggested he would qualify for MAiD. The team said he had end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and it was terminal. The patient was surprised by the diagnosis but trusted the team.

Within 48 hours of his first assessment, he received a medically assisted death. Post-mortem testing showed he did not have end-stage COPD. His family doctor, when notified of his death, also stated he did not have end-stage COPD, but the team had failed to contact her when they were assessing his history.

In the immortal words of a former Saskatchewan NDP cabinet minister, ours is the duty to “live healthfully and die quickly”.

Woke Britain:  Just tell the weather.  And Just Stop Oil.

Biden’s America:  Elizabeth Warren exposes pregnancy center.  New York swamped with Biden’s migrants.  The many gaffes of Biden.  California trucker convoy.

Today in Islam:  Rotherham gang member enjoying the weather.  The history of Islam.

Trudeau’s Canada:  Rex Murphy on the Dutch farmers protest.  Today our Dear Leader burns jet fuel from B.C. to Halifax Nova Scotia for private meetings.  Surely he’s not going to a fundraiser at taxpayer expense.  He’s probably just avoiding protests by ungrateful Canadians.

ArriveCan’t

True North- Canadian Scouts stranded in Switzerland after ArriveCan glitch

A group of Canadian Scouts aged between 12 to 14 were stranded in Zurich, Switzerland due to troubles with the government’s ArriveCan app.

According to CTV News, six of the group including four youth were unable to board a scheduled flight back to Canada after an application glitch failed to register the passengers.

Before the problem could be fixed, the group’s flight had already left.
