In an opinion piece published Monday in Newsweek, journalist and political commentator Lisa Boothe outlined the reasons she won’t get the COVID vaccine, pleading for a little “common sense and bodily autonomy.”

In an opinion piece published Monday in Newsweek, journalist and political commentator Lisa Boothe outlined the reasons she won’t get the COVID vaccine.

“In a sane society, a personal decision [to not get vaccinated] would not warrant a column, or even an explanation,” Boothe wrote. “But we do not live in a sane society. As a healthy 36-year-old woman, COVID-19 does not pose a statistically meaningful threat to my life. I have a 99.97 percent chance of survival.”

Boothe questioned the policy of testing only the unvaccinated “when it is now clear the vaccinated are also spreading COVID.”

She also asked why natural immunity is being ignored and denied relevance “despite over 100 research studies affirm[ing] its effectiveness.”

Boothe noted many Americans are unaware of the actual risk posed by COVID. She pointed to a Gallup poll showing 41% of Democrats believed the unvaccinated have an over-50% risk of hospitalization, but according to Gallup, the risk is actually 0.89%.

Boothe also highlighted how President Biden originally told the American people “you’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,” despite Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky’s admission that “vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus,” and the “vaccines can no longer prevent transmission.”

Boothe questioned how effective the vaccines are at preventing COVID death. She referenced how former CDC director and now senior advisor to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Dr. Robert Redfield, said 40% of the recent COVID deaths in the state of Maryland were among the fully vaccinated. In Vermont, 76% of COVID deaths in September were among the fully vaccinated, Boothe noted.

She also questioned the usefulness of worker mandates at a time when America faces a worker shortage and a supply-chain crisis.

“Vaccine mandates in cities like New York have already shut down 26 firehouses due to staff shortages,” Boothe wrote. “One hospital in upstate New York had to stop delivering babies due to too many maternity workers resigning over the mandate.”

Boothe ended with this: “I am praying the rest of the country wakes up from this psychosis that has taken over. Is it too much to ask for a little common sense and bodily autonomy?”.......https://stuartbramhall.wordpress.com/2021/11/18/why-im-not-vaccinated-journalist-makes-her-case-in-newsweek-op-ed/

KENOSHA, WI—In order to protect their lives and homes, Kenosha residents are painting “Black Lives Matter” over their doorposts just in case local Antifa communist rioters don’t like the Rittenhouse verdict and decide to burn the city down again.

“We hope this small gesture of fealty to the Antifa enforcers will keep us safe,” said Dale Cheesehead, local husband and father of 4. “Perhaps they will see the graffiti on my doorposts and spare my firstborn son, as well as my three other kids, my wife, my dog, my cars and my house. Please don’t burn down our house Antifa!”............read more.......

 i watch europe fight amongst themselves and the empire attempting to charge russia with all manner of malfeasance as they also demand more gas and oil. this presentation shows how they're shooting themselves in the foot and it may not end well for them;

A “perfect storm of Russian aggression during the coming winter months” is all but inevitable. Watch it on your screens while you properly freeze.

As much as with “brain dead” NATO (copyright Emmanuel Macron) no one ever lost precious assets betting on the incompetence, narrow-mindedness and cowardice of political “leaders” across the Atlanticist EU.

There are two main reasons for the latest German legalese gambit of suspending the certification of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

1. Retaliation, directly against Belarus and Russia, “guilty” of the disgraceful refugee drama at the Poland-Belarus border.
2. Politicking by the German Greens.

A high-ranking European energy executive told me, “this a game where Germany does not hold a winning hand. Gazprom is very professional. But imagine if Gazprom decided to deliberately slow down their deliveries of natural gas. It could go up tenfold, collapsing the entire EU. Russia has China. But Germany does not have a workable contingency plan.”

This ties up with a proposal that is sitting at a crucial desk in Moscow for approval for two years now, as I reported at the time: an offer by a reputable Western energy firm of $700 billion for Russia to divert their oil and gas exports to China and other Asian customers, away from the EU..........read more.........

 a large percentage of cops are honestly trying to do their best to do their job, and then there are a lesser number who have problems being that honest cop;

Cleveland, OH — Harrowing footage was released recently showing what led up to the multiple charges against an RTA police officer. According to the surveillance video from Brook Park Rapid train stop in Cleveland, RTA officer Patrick Rivera, 41, threw a mentally ill man off the train platform and onto the tracks as the trains were running.

Rivera has since been arrested and charged with first-degree misdemeanor assault, second-degree misdemeanor dereliction of duty and third-degree misdemeanor unlawful restraint for his actions that day. It took 9 months for the department to charge him.

RTA spokeswoman Linda Scardilli Krecic told Cleveland.com that Rivera was placed on unpaid leave after his arrest. He has since paid his $2,500 bond and was released from custody.

Amazingly enough, he was not fired immediately after the assault and will likely remain a cop even if he is found guilty on all charges after signing an agreement that states he can keep his job so long as he doesn’t mess up in the next year.

The incident unfolded on February 16 and since that time, RTA officials have refused to release the video. Cleveland.com was forced to sue the department in the Ohio Court of Claims in order to compel them to release the video. After watching it, we know exactly why they were hesitant to release it.

On that day, Rivera responded to the station because 68-year-old Edward McDermott, who is mentally ill, had his bag on a bench and didn’t move it for the custodian to clean. That is all.

If you read Rivera’s report, however, you would think that McDermott was a violent schizophrenic who attacked him and Rivera had no choice but to throw him out onto the live train tracks. Unlike Rivera, however, the video does not lie...........read and watch more.........
