In South Africa, all restrictions are allmost gone, and the state of ’disaster’ is kept because of the geopolitical gambit. Yesterday, I went to buy Flyspray for our horse, and the shop owner had on the door a big notice with Thank you for NOT wearing a mask in the shop. OK the horse community was and is more concerned with the African Horse Sickness, currently in season in Johannesburg, than with any Covid, ever! May God keep horses, in our lives!
Hmmmm,
Two years ago I was looking into which viruses were being studied in Fort Derrick in Maryland USA, I recall that a deadly equine virus was one of them. I then looked for reports of the virus affecting horses in the USA and there were cases. I will try find that info again. It may not have just been SARS-CoV2 that escaped out of that lab after the water decontamination mishap in 2019.

That is very interesting. Thank you for mentioning! AHS is deadly but I was under the impression that is limited to the NE part of South Africa as it is insect related. Nevertheless, some digging is required! Are you into horsies?
 
After a long break, I would like to share some experiences. Covid pushed me to my physical and psychological limits in all areas. As an unvaccinated therapist, I was directly exposed to the effects of vaccination for the entire year of 2021. I do not wear a mask in my practice and experienced massive attacks on my system last year that translated into violent repetitive toothache attacks, digestive issues, muscle pain, and brain fog. Supplements and ivermectin were helpful but my condition was creeping worse and worse. At some point there was a clear correlation between my condition and the amount of newly vaccinated patients. In addition, there was the great hostility of the environment to my attitude toward vaccination. I could never have imagined how people could stir up hatred and hostility in such a mass. The value of my person was determined by a shot. Many patients left the practice and at the same time many new patients arrived, for whom my status did not matter. Then in the summer we saw the effects of vaccination on patients. Today, I can state that I feel that the symptoms change almost quarterly. In the summer of 2021, here were increased pulmonary embolisms, spinal cord inflammation, girdle rot, joint,-muscle and nerve inflammation. Since November 2021 with the beginning of the booster it concerns increased spontaneous heart attacks, apoplexy, falling tendency, dizziness, diabetes, dementia. Very noticeable is the activation of healed diseases or injuries. Also the excessive amount of diabetes, thyroid diseases, bladder infections and gall bladder infections. At the moment, the picture has changed again. Many relatives report changes in character, dementia, massive memory problems.
There have been very many deaths with sudden cardiac death.
Since Omikron, my health has again deteriorated. I recognize a relation between virus contact and my body reaction. On average, I have 2-3 positive direct contacts weekly who were not aware of their status at the time of contact. In temporal connection, diarrhea, loss of appetite, depressive mood, headache and muscle pain develop in my case. Until today I have remained negative. On the one hand, there are people who wish me the experience in the intensive care unit. On the other hand, many people see in me that the vaccination was a big nonsense. One is annoyed and in no case wants the fourth injection.
At the moment I have the hope that the viral load I am exposed to will decrease. My health seems to be stabilizing in any case and hopefully the downhill slide will come to an end.
The compulsory vaccination for the health service cannot be controlled by the health offices because they are all completely overloaded. The situation in the hospitals is catastrophic - beds, however, are not deregistered or blocked despite a staff shortage of 50%. We are witnessing the demise of the system, which can no longer be stopped.😞
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Sending you strength...
 
Mask mandate ended two weeks ago in my area, masks are no longer mandatory anywhere except public transport, airports and hospital/ long term care facilities. Despite this, on a recent trip to a large grocery store, nearly everyone I saw was still wearing a mask. Of the 10 people in front of me at the checkout, 9 were masked and they also were careful to keep to the 6 feet distance. Sadly, while in the store I only saw one unmasked child, every other one including several toddlers that couldn't have been over 3 were all masked. The programming is so totally complete that I really have to wonder what, if anything, it's going to take to wake these people up!

Along with @memeontheroof's post I can also say that, in Alberta, there are only a few people still wearing a mask in my area. Nobody cares if they do or don't. And if they are standing 6 feet apart, I've also not noticed. Kids are still made to line up outside of the schools before they can enter in the morning, thought. I'm not sure why. Taking temperatures, perhaps? There are some employees in various places that still wear them but, again, nobody seems to care. What people do care about are the gas and food prices.
 
@Nachtweide - My thoughts are with you. You have had an awful time and I hope things will improve from here. Regarding close contact with newly vaccinated, I remember taking my brother in my car to have his first vaccination. I did not want to do this because I had a feeling that I would be involving myself in the clot shot that he was having but I did not know of any decent way of declining. He has done masses of things for me over the years and to his mind this was a very small matter. I did not experience any side effects myself but they may have been very subtle effects which I did not notice at the time. He has since had another jab and a booster and is still right up there with the vaccination cheerleading team.

I also mentioned a while back that I was persona non grata to very old friends and basically was not invited to visit them for Christmas although the rest of my family were. The husband was paranoid about catching covid and was masked everywhere except the home. Things have changed over the year and I am now invited to visit for Easter. I will be the spectre at the feast as the other five have all been triple vaccinated. I just hope there are no awkward questions about why I have refused to be vaccinated. I don't wish to explain myself and would rather enjoy chatting about other things. Our views are completely opposed and it could cause dissension if I am not careful which would make an unpleasant experience. Here's hoping...
 
About those purported adverse reactions to the vaccines - well, according to this article, it‘s all in the mind:


Episodes of nausea, sweating, fainting and a handful of other symptoms in individuals after having the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen Covid-19 vaccine prompted an investigation by the CDC last month. The clusters, which occurred at mass vaccination sites in California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, and North Carolina were apparently alarming enough that four of the five sites closed temporarily while the analysis took place. But yesterday, the CDC released a reportconfirming that the episodes were not the result of the vaccine itself, but rather people’s anxiety about it. The reactions are still “real” physiological reactions, but luckily, have nothing to do with any component of the vaccine.

According to the research, there were 64 cases of anxiety-related events out of 8,624 people who received the vaccination in the five sites from April 7-9, but none met the definition of “serious”: they included light-headedness or dizziness (56%), pallor or excessive sweating (31%), fainting (27%), nausea or vomiting (25%), and low blood pressure (16%). The median age of the individuals who experienced the events was 36 years and 61% were women. Interestingly, the cases in four of the five sites occurred on the sites’ first day of administering vaccines.

Everyone recovered quickly—within 15 minutes at the vaccination site or, for the 13 people who were moved to the hospital, the same day. About a quarter of the total number affected reported also having had similar events after vaccination in the past.
 
… Continued…

In addition to looking into these smaller clusters, the CDC also looked at instances of fainting in all 7.98 million people who received the Janssen Covid-19 vaccine from early March to early April, and found a rate of 8.2 per 100,000 doses. By contrast, for flu vaccines over the course of a full year, the rate was 0.05 per 100,000, which makes the reaction about 164 times more common for the Janssen Covid-19 vaccine than for the flu vaccine. For both, the reaction was more common in people aged 18-29.


So, perhaps not surprisingly, there seems to be something about the Covid-19 vaccine that engenders anxiety. The CDC report points out that people receiving the Janssen vaccine may have sought it out because it only involves one shot, so may be a self-selecting group of people more prone to having an anxiety response.

They write, “it is possible that some persons seeking Janssen COVID-19 vaccination could be more highly predisposed to anxiety-related events after being vaccinated. The stress of an ongoing pandemic might also increase anxiety surrounding COVID-19 vaccination. In addition, in mass vaccination situations, an anxiety-related event witnessed by others on-site or reported through media coverage might provoke additional anxiety-induced episodes.”

In other words, observing a fainting episode either in person or vicariously through stories or social media, may trigger a chain reaction. The physiological reaction itself is known as the vasovagal response, which occurs when an emotionally charged event (like the sight of blood or an approaching needle) triggers the vagus nerve to set off a chain of events, including a drop in blood pressure and fainting or near-fainting. The cluster part is trickier to explain, but such psychogenic group events have been recorded fairly regularly in the past, and probably involve a combination of conscious, subconscious, and neurophysiological mechanisms.

It’s important to point out that the recent clusters of anxiety-triggered reactions occurred before the reports of the rare blood clotting side effect (thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome) that briefly paused the Janssen vaccine last month. It will be interesting to monitor the rate of anxiety-based reactions over time—and see whether similar reactions are tied to the other available Covid-19 vaccines.

In the meantime, the CDC asks healthcare professionals to be aware of the risk of anxiety-based reactions in their patients, and recommends that, like the watch-period for serious allergic reactions to the vaccines, patients be watched for 15 minutes after receiving the shot. If nothing else, the CDC investigation and report is another sign of the close attention given to patient safety during this vaccine rollout—and should be a reassurance that events, even innocuous ones, are being taken seriously and handled swiftly.
 
That is very interesting. Thank you for mentioning! AHS is deadly but I was under the impression that is limited to the NE part of South Africa as it is insect related. Nevertheless, some digging is required! Are you into horsies?
Yes I have had and worked with horses part of my younger life.
I think I have recalled the incorrectly, I can’t find any indication of AHS in North America. It may have been another virus I was tracking down.

Finally No Vaccine Mandate In Germany

The German Bundestag today voted on the bill for compulsory vaccination from the age of 60 with 296 parliamentarians voting for the bill and 378 against.

Initially the bill was intended to include everybody from 18 years on which met stiff resistance by most of the lawmakers. To save face the 'pro-vaccine coalition' of representatives from different parties cooked up a compromise that would have affected only people from the age of 50 which didn't meet with enthusiasm among the majority either.

In a last-ditch attempt last week the pro-vaxxers even raised the age limit proposal to 60 which was hilarious because people in that age bracket are already vaccinated by around 90%.

This must be a blow to Federal chancellor Scholz who was all in favor of this project since he came into office in December, although he was strictly against a vaccine mandate before the elections in November...

The current three party coalition in Berlin was certainly helpful as well with the libertarian FDP party throwing a spanner in the works here and there, as was the drawn-out discussion process of the last four months.
What I found remarkable is that all four motions, pro and contra mandatory vaccination, fell through. So the ultimate result, no mandate, was achieved because the MPs voted against each others proposals. Namely AfD's proposal of no mandates for anybody only got 79 votes because all other MPs are obliged to hate AfD.

Somehow I feel that the German people got a bit lucky to be relieved from the mandates.
 
About those purported adverse reactions to the vaccines - well, according to this article, it‘s all in the mind:
So basically, if it's all in the mind, then we should take the UFO phenomena more seriously, because the newly released effects include pregnancy? I'm not a biologist, but did humans recently become asexually reproductive?

If they will acknowledge that level of the placebo effect, what about the nocebo effect, where thinking with intent and a positive outcome produce that result? Aren't we in the middle of The Wave where, "The battle is through us.", "Everything you do matters." and, "Thoughts transcend all densities."? Hopefully the scales can be tipped to more people seeing through this.
 
In Italy, fines of 100 € per day for non-vaccinated people over 50 y.o.

In the end, the fines to the No Vax over 50 who did not want to submit to the anti-Covid vaccination obligation started: 100 € a day, for a first tranche of 600,000 notices that will be delivered by the beginning of next week. The Ministry of Health, in fact, has begun to deliver to the Revenue-Collection Agency the lists of the over 50s (about 1.5-2 million people) who have not undergone the vaccine and who, after verification, are now subject to a fine of 100 euros. The dispatch of the tax bills, therefore, became fully operational in these hours with the sending of the first fines through the post office.

In short, one week after the beginning of the path towards normality, as foreseen by the latest government decree, which came into force on 25 March last, and which changed the rules for the containment of Covid-19, the rebels are punished - now retroactively - with a sanction with a decidedly symbolic value. In fact, from April 1st, all categories of workers can enter work with the basic green pass, which is obtained with the negative buffer (from May 1st, the farewell to the green certificate should instead be total) and therefore it is no longer mandatory. the vaccine. No escaped danger, therefore, for those over 50 who have not respected the law and have not vaccinated in the period between 1 February and 15 June 2022.

As we wrote, the delays in sending sanctions are the result of bureaucratic problems. In fact, the reports must be made by the Ministry of Health, which however had run into the holes in the data collection that Sogei, the IT company of the Ministry of the Treasury, must cross among those arriving through the Health Card system (defaulters and recovered certified by doctors and Asl) and those of the database of the vaccination registry, in turn fed by the Regions.
 
This is just a simple thing to report, but I had to say it. Here in Wales the mask mandate has been dropped, and I am so freakin' relieved. It's felt like living as a slave this last 18 months, finally the muzzle is gone. I know this is small beans in the world picture, but god it's so good to just walk about and not feel constrained by a rag on your face. I noticed in the C's sessions that it was said that governments had realised that they'd pushed their populations just too bloody far. And now we've got the western states' sponsorship of the far right in Ukraine. It's literally one thing after another. I have to play dumb talking to almost everyone I know. It's just not worth bothering, to just be called a conspiracy theorist and shunned. An old lesson I'm wise to nowadays.

It just sounds like a small victory in a long drawn out battle for sanity and objective knowledge, but at least it's a start.
