Wow. The far-right website Veterans Today is run by the Russian security services, according to US officials. That's huge. newsy.com/stories/u-s-ve…
Veterans Today was founded in 2003. It's accused Israel of being behind 9/11, hosted antisemites and conspiracy theorists for years. I'd call it far right, though it also pushes far-left conspiracies too.
VT's editor told @SashaIngber that the site is under investigation and that he's suspected of being a Russian agent, which he denies.
VT was never huge but I've been aware of it for 15 years or more because bad people of all different sorts kept ending up published there. Learning it was a straight-up Russian op is a weird feeling.
One of VT's most consistent themes is blaming everything on Jews and Israel. Their financial editor went on Iranian TV and claimed Mossad was behind Sandy Hook, the Gaby Giffords shooting and the Aurora massacre. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2013…
Hell, they even claimed the Jews were running neo-Nazi site Stormfront.

How is QAnon handling Trump's call on Fox to get vaccinated? One major QAnon Telegram channel is pushing the message that Trump didn't mean it, he's only playing along to expose the pharma companies.
This message is... not popular. "How many will die because they believe every word out of trump's mouth?" says one antivax QAnoner, unironically. "Trump would not tell us to do this", says another.
That logic is taken further by QAnon influencer GhostEzra: Trump *didn't* say to take the vaccine, because it wasn't really Trump in the interview. Anyway, don't listen to Trump even if it is him, listen to Lin Wood(!). "Vaccines" is code for arrests.

The tl;dr of the US Intel report into 2020 election meddling:

1. Russia tried to help Trump and smear Biden.
2. Iran tried to hurt Trump.
3. China sat this one out.
4. Other countries tried minor interference
5. Nobody messed with voting tallies

The report again notes that one of the key Russian election influence campaigns was run by Andriy Derkach, who fed anti-Biden smears to Trump's personal lawyer, Rudi Giuliani.
Russia both smeared Biden and boosted Trump. Iran tried to damage Trump but didn't promote Biden.

"Artificial brainwaves" could help cure stroke and other neuro diseases. An RCT showed stroke patients who used the electromagnetic treatment recovered faster and better, to the point that they could resume normal life. timesofisrael.com/study-of-25-st…
The therapy was developed by @BrainQTech and is delivered by a wearable device that's worn like a crown. Full disclosure: I worked with the company to present the findings of this research.
The device delivers patterns of EM radiation derived from brainwaves, and it seems to trigger the nervous system's self-repair mechanisms.

Two QAnon factions arguing between:

1.Oprah had an ankle-monitor (meaning she's under arrest for child murder crimes)
2. The whole interview was CGI and she's really been executed, but the CGI people made it look like Oprah has an ankle monitor anyway.
The channel run by more 'traditional' QAnon influencers IET and AwakenedOutlaw is warning against the CGI theory. Why? Because they're losing ground to the wilder stuff by people like GhostEzra.
GhostEzra says Biden is a body-double who works for Trump, and the Dems and celebs are body doubles or CGI fakes. His Telegram channel has 228k members, up from 125k just three weeks ago. That's more than the channel IET, AO and the others share.

Yet another kindergarten in my street is back in Covid isolation, with all the kids required to quarantine for 10 days, due to an unvaccinated substitute TA. This is the 3rd or 4th time a kindergarten on my street has had an infected staff member since 16 Feb.
At this point, most parents are vaccinated, but the kindergartners need to be quarantined and someone has to stay home with them.
In theory, people can quarantine in a single room, but this is hard or impossible for young kids, so whole households go into quarantine instead. A few of my friends have sent their other kids to live with relatives so they can go to school.

A coronavirus outbreak in an old-age home in Be'er Sheva, Israel: 12 out of the 30 vaccinated residents tested positive... but NONE had any symptoms at all.
The residents were tested after a staff member tested positive. They were all about a month from their second Pfizer dose.
Israel's Health Ministry is doing genetic sequencing on the virus to see what variant it is (most of Israel's cases now are B.1.1.7 lineage).
