1- "Compulsory vaccination will fall under Austrian administrative rather than criminal law, according to Schallenberg, who said that lawyers have yet to hammer out the details.."

I guess they're still figuring out where the camps will be (cont).

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
2- "There are too many among us who haven’t shown solidarity,” Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said in Tyrol after meeting with provincial governors. “Raising the vaccination rate is the only way to break this vicious circle.”

Don't think about "solidarity" coment too long.
3- "(Chancellor) Schallenberg, who bemoaned fake news and anti-vaxxers, conceded that his public-health measures haven’t worked. Health Minister Wolfgang Mueckstein apologized for the decision that will send people into their fourth lockdown."

Back to what never worked.
4- Meanwhile, in Germany:

“We’re in a situation in which we shouldn’t rule anything out,” German Health Minister Jens Spahn said in Berlin Friday when asked whether another lockdown was possible."

Again, don't think about that statement too long.
5- "The whole of Germany is one big outbreak,” Lothar Wieler, the head of Germany’s RKI public-health institute, said Friday at the news conference with Spahn. “This is a national emergency.”

Amazing how many "COVID success" stories are now emergencies👇🏽

6- "Only setting limits on unvaccinated people isn’t enough, Wieler said. He called on people to stay home, cancel large events, close hot spots such as poorly ventilated bars and clubs, reduce private contacts and avoid meeting people indoors."

Basically back to March 2020.
7- Don't assume we won't see the same thing here later this winter.

Every country on the planet has underestimated COVID. Every country on the planet thinks vaccines are a silver bullet despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Buckle up.

1- ".. scientists are now saying the coronavirus may always be with us."

It's good that some Media finally realize this, but this article is otherwise creepy & dumb (excerpts folllow).

2- This reads like vax mandates should be a forever things. GTFO with that. Image
3- They can hardly contain their excitement that more people will get drugs that we no idea what the long-term consequences are. Image

1- Chronology of an NBA breakthrough case (cont).

yardbarker.com/nba/articles/c…
2- “The first four or five days were pretty tough. All the usual symptoms that I think people might get. Crazy muscle aches, sensitive skin, can’t smell, taste, crazy body muscle spasms, fatigue. Then just chest and head got hit pretty tough as well.”

This doesn’t sound “mild”.
3- “The Cavaliers are considered 100% fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, but the shots, like any vaccines, don't offer complete immunity.”

And of course the obligatory “We never said it would work” message.

1- Lmao. This is hilarious. The student run paper at University of California ( @dailycal ) is unloading on the all-vax'd football team for catching COVID.

You can't make this shit up. Priceless excerpts follow.

dailycal.org/2021/11/18/cal…
2- "UC Berkeley was the first college to postpone a major college football game due to COVID-19 — campus’ approach of not requiring students to be regularly tested is not working."

Yes, test more & get more false positives and/or asymptomatic cases - that will fix it.
3- " ..(per team Spox) the team had been following health guidelines. According to the Berkeley Public Health Department, however, the program regularly failed to abide by public health measures, including testing, staying home when sick and wearing masks indoors."

Wear masks!

1- “Dr. Alex Huffman .. told Denver7 Monday that while vaccines are a really important strategy in fighting the pandemic, they are not enough at this point to curb the spread of the disease..”

Welp, there’s the quiet part out loud (cont).

thedenverchannel.com/news/coronavir…
2- Huffman: “There's no question that getting a vaccination and increasing the percentage of people in the state that are vaccinated is a really, really important piece of the puzzle, but we can't vaccinate our way out of the pandemic.”

Gosh, if only others had said this.
3- Lol, paraphrasing:

Journo: “SO YOU’RE TELLING ME WE’LL NEVER GET BACK TO NORMAL?!”

Huffman: “Yes”

1- Welp, this warrants some commentary (thread follows).

TL;DR - Bullshitting is easy, governing is hard. Biden is good the 1st and bad at the 2nd.

washingtonpost.com/politics/biden…
2- "In June, ..promised that rising inflation was just “transitory.”

"In July,..Biden declared that “the virus is on the run.”

"And in August,..“the president continues to believe that it is not inevitable that the Taliban take over” Afghanistan."

Even Wapo sees the pattern.
3- "But just in the past week, inflation hit a 31-year high as prices rose 6.2 percent over a year ago, coronavirus cases are ticking up again and the United States announced that Qatar will serve as its diplomatic proxy in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.."

Quite the record.

1- “As of last June, the number of small businesses in Colorado had declined by over 40% during the pandemic.”

This was a feature of the lockdowns, not a bug (cont).

denvergazette.com/opinion/editor…
2- “..most Colorado K-12 students suffered setbacks in their academic achievement — idled at home by remote learning amid COVID — the impact was far more pronounced on low-income students and students of color.”

Dems did the lockdowns, fwiw.
3- “The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated already-rising overdose rates in the state, with “an outsized effect on minority groups” — notably Hispanic and Black Coloradans.”

COVID-19 didn’t do this, the idiotic lockdowns did.
