I'll give some credit to the Feds. I put in my request for rapid tests on the website. The website was very simple and I received my first batch today (about a week or so from the request). I don't think a few tests is going to make much difference in the long run but at least the system worked.

How an Anonymous Reporting System Made Yale a COVID ‘Surveillance State’

E2Lq37MWEAMpMky-736x491.jpeg


Since the beginning of the pandemic, Yale University has required all students to mask indoors in public spaces. But it was 9:30 p.m on a Saturday night, and the library was deserted. With no one within at least 150 feet of him, a Yale senior decided to relax with a movie—and without a mask.

It got him reported to the school’s COVID hotline.

According to the Yale senior, another student walked into the library and demanded he mask up. Since he didn’t have one on him, the senior said he would leave. As he was gathering his belongings, the other student pulled out her phone and began filming him. When the senior asked for her name, the student raised her middle finger and stormed off.

Two days later, he received a notice from the Yale administration that he had been reported for violating the school’s "Community Compact," a set of rules put in place to "promote the health and safety of all community members." The student was given 24 hours to provide the "Compact Review Committee" with "any relevant information" he would like it to consider during the official "evaluation" of his conduct. He was ultimately found guilty of a violation and threatened with a "public health withdrawal."

According to university documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, the incident in the library took place on December 4, 2021—the same night 1,000 maskless students gathered for Yale’s annual holiday dinner. A ritzy Yale tradition that had been canceled in 2020, the dinner featured lobster-laden ice sculptures and a parade of mostly masked dining hall workers, who marched the decadent culinary spread through a packed crowd of students, according to a video posted of the evening’s festivities.

The episode offers a window into the intrusive and often inconsistent enforcement of Yale’s COVID rules, which, as one student put it, "made campus feel like a surveillance state." The rules were put in place before the existence of vaccines but have persisted long after, relaxing or tightening as case counts fluctuate and new variants erupt.

Speaking of, what's the regimen of meds for a kid?
Click to expand...
Ok, done for the day, real answer now:

Little kids: multivitamin, healthy diet, plenty of fluids, play outside/get sun when possible

Big kids: Vit C, D, Zinc, fluids, healthy diet, sunlight, at least light daily exercise. Guaifenesin/nasal Afrin for congestion if needed. Nasal steroids for nasal burning or alteration of smell. I've put a few asthmatics on oral or inhaled steroids. I've had a handful treated with monoclonal antibody (higher risk/morbidly obese teenagers).

CDC's Walensky had to Google her own website when asked about advancing Equity in the pandemic response

Walensky thanked her staff for providing her 'cover,' according to an email from January

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Rochelle Walensky had to Google her own agency’s website when asked about advancing equity in the agency’s pandemic response.

Watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT) obtained over 500 pages of Walensky’s emails through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), revealing the director’s apparent unpreparedness in her official capacity.

In one email from January of last year, Walensky thanked her staff for providing her "cover" and standing in her "stead" while the director was responding to a request for information.

Another of Walensky’s emails from February 2021 revealed the director had stealth searched for her own agency’s social vulnerability index (SVI), a tool used by the agency to provide equity-focused disaster assistance, while "live" on TV during the agency’s COVID-19 Response Team briefing broadcast.

Walensky’s staff provided some information to her amid the broadcast, and the CDC director admitted in a thank-you email to the staffer who helped that she had googled the SVI.

"The pattern of disarray in these emails is consistent with the haphazard messaging and politicized policies coming out of the CDC," APT executive director Caitlin Sutherland said in a Thursday email to Fox News Digital on Thursday.

"COVID has normalized such surveillance throughout higher education. Many institutions, including Northwestern University, Carnegie Mellon University, Johns Hopkins University, Brown University, and Harvard University, have set up online forms and hotlines for students to anonymously report COVID "safety" violations."

If only there were someone to anonymously report, en masse, that would help undermine this already-absurd system...

This is some lightweight everyday shiz compared to most federal agencies. I can't think of anyone at the admin level or in the level or two directly below that has any idea what's going on in their agency.

I have to vent for a second here. I have never posted about covid on here, because I try to just not involve myself in the conversation. But there comes a point where this is just too much. I am so depressed honestly. I had the first two vaccines. Got sick with “something” a few weeks ago. Rapid tests are hit and miss. I had a fever, chills, body aches, sore throat, cough. Negative for everything under the sun. I know people that have had FOUR vaccines in a 1.5 year period. FOUR. That is ridiculous. And current articles I am reading are saying every three months your immune system will need a boost, if it even develops any immunity naturally from getting sick. So directly after getting sick you should get another booster anyway. Are we seriously on a path for them to ask people to just get a quarterly booster multiple times a year? This is getting to be such nonsense.

The more you booster, the weaker your system gets from what I've been able to understand. They want to make the jabs like a magazine subscription eventually. Once a month, get a booster. Meanwhile, you have no way of suing if you are injured by the vaccine.

I am so ****ing over this. I can't stand wearing these face diapers anymore and I can't wait to be able to roam around my building without one. The masks combined with the cold weather are killing my asthma, my face is so large that I just end up eating the bottom of the mask. And I'm slowly losing my hearing, so a good quarter of what I say to my students is "Can you repeat that louder?" because they sound like they're talking into a towel.

Damn things don't fit anyone anyway

Just curious, but do you have ringing in the ears or tinnitus?

During the Knox Co mandate, I exclusively wore wild west bandanas for that very reason. Keeps people guessing: maybe I just need a couple steaks, potatoes, milk, and a six-pack, . . . Maybe I'm gonna hold the place up!

You made me think of something I saw about 3 weeks ago. Guy was wearing a mask under his balaclava.

They actually don't exist, so they can neither die, commit crimes, nor be subject to vaccine mandates. Just like illegal immigrants.

You jump through hoops to get on the list. If you take the shot, you have the transplant, they give you tacromulus and prograf to make you not reject the new heart basically suppressing any immunity to anything, including covid. Transplant pts face the danger of getting covid with or without the shot. So what’s the argument to withhold a transplant from someone who refuses the shot.
Transplant agencies reject any tissue that is covid tagged. Their collection of organs has dropped dramatically. More people are dying on the transplant list.
If this whole thing is about eugenics and reduction of population, they are succeeding in thinning the “ defective herd “. Diabetic, hypetensive, obese, lung conditions, cancer, transplant lists are being lost every day. Jmo.

The fact is either heart recipient, shot or no shot, could possibly have covid at anytime before, during, or after transplant.

On the flip side if you need a heart transplant, the data we know now says that person will have a better quality of life without the shot.

What's the answer?
