How Vaccine Mandates Caused Dangerous Hospital Care Shortages

The depths of Covid corruption at Gundersen can’t fit on one page, and that hospital is just the tip of the iceberg.

Two Worthy and Affordable SW Portables - Radio World

Today, digital radios with direct pushbutton entry are commonplace in the portable SW portable receiver market.

I recently tested two such portables, the pocket-sized CCrane CC Skywave SSB and the new tablet-sized Sangean ATS-909X2.

In addition to offering pushbutton tuning and automatic frequency scanning, both come with manual tuning dials, back-lit LCD displays, the ability to tune to the full SW bands (1.711–29.999 MHz) plus AM, FM (stereo in headsets) and the AIR (aeronautical 118–137 MHz) band. The ATS909X2 can also tune to longwave.

They also offer a range of bandwidth filters to improve audio clarity on SW, the ability to preset station memories, and built-in SSB (single sideband tuners) for tuning in amateur radio transmissions heard within the SW bands. //

Ground Truths on Prior Covid - by Eric Topol

Another brief review of the literature by Kojima and Klausner in The Lancet Infectious Diseases had a different conclusion; “Given the evidence of immunity from previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, however, policy makers should consider recovery from previous SARS-CoV-2 infection equal to immunity from vaccination for purposes related to entry to public events, businesses, and the workplace, or travel requirements.”

Therein lies much of the data and the crux of the debate. Is Prior Covid as good as vaccination and why are people with confirmed Covid getting mandated to be vaccinated? //

Which brings us to hybrid immunity. The vaccine immunity is specific to the spike protein, whereas the immunity from infection is directed to the whole virus, and it is clear they are complementary. Every study, and there are more than 25, that has looked at neutralizing antibodies and memory B and T cells has showed there is additivity of the immune response when a person has both forms of immunity. The Science Magazine succinct review by Shane Crotty is outstanding, with the summary Figure below

Why we’re seeing more insurance ads — while beer ads fade out

Raab, who runs the campaigns for GEICO, agrees that insurance ads need to evolve. “Our competition isn’t just other insurance brands,” he says. “It’s any entertainment brand. To compete, we must be as captivating as Netflix, Marvel, Fortnite and the millions of endlessly inventive content creators on TikTok.”

But Kolt disagrees with this “self-absorbed” approach.

To be successful, he said, advertisers just need to “tell the truth. Advertising on TV works,” he added. “Sometimes even bad advertising.”
