More businesses are expected to require vaccinations following FDA approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

A new poll suggests a significant share of unvaccinated Americans may be resistant to COVID-19 vaccine mandates put in place by their employer.

A Washington Post-ABC News poll asked unvaccinated workers whose employers have yet to impose a vaccine mandate what they were likely to do if getting vaccinated was required to go into the workplace.

The poll found 16 percent of unvaccinated workers would get the shot, 35 percent would ask for a medical or religious exemption and 42 percent would quit their job.

When asked what they would do if they weren't given an exemption to opt out of the requirement, 18 percent of those surveyed said they would comply and 72 percent said they would quit.

Best of the Web: Huron University College professor refuses to abide by school's vaccine mandate in the name of ethics

A Huron University College professor is speaking out against the institution's vaccine mandate, questioning the ethics of "coercing people into medical procedures" for those refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The professor states in the video, which has since been removed from YouTube, that she fears for her employment.

Julie Ponesse, an ethics professor at Huron University College which is affiliated with Western University, describes it as "ethically wrong" to require staff and students to be fully vaccinated, despite the policy also being encouraged by Ontario health officials.

"I am facing imminent dismissal after 20 years on the job. Because I will not submit to having an experimental vaccine injected into my body," said Ponesse in the video.

"I don't work in a high-risk environment. I'm not a doctor in an emergency room. I'm a teacher. I'm a university professor," she adds.

This video comes amid a statement released Tuesday by Western University President and Vice-Chancellor Alan Shepard, after a "disturbing trend" involving several large gatherings near the campus in London, Ont., during frosh week.

'Flame purification'? I fear the burning of books in Canada is the first step towards something sinister and evil

Books featuring so-called 'outdated content' are being burned as a goodwill gesture to Indigenous people in Ontario. This fills me with dread, as history has shown us that the torching of ideas usually has disastrous consequences.

First, a confession. I get really emotional and upset when I encounter ritual book-burning. So when I read that in Canada, more than 4,700 books have been removed from the library shelves of schools and burned, I cannot help but feel depressed.

The book burning ceremony organised by an Ontario francophone school board was promoted as a "gesture of reconciliation" to Indigenous peoples. This barbaric act against enlightened cultural norms was labelled as a "flame purification ceremony."

In line with the current fashion for recycling, Lyne Cossette, a spokeswoman for the school board, indicated that "symbolically, some books were used as fertiliser."

Sweeping new vaccine mandates for 100 million Americans

Biden is announcing sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant.
In his most forceful pandemic actions and words, President Joe Biden on Thursday ordered sweeping new federal vaccine requirements for as many as 100 million Americans — private-sector employees as well as health care workers and federal contractors — in an all-out effort to curb the surging COVID-19 delta variant.

Speaking at the White House, Biden sharply criticized the tens of millions of Americans who are not yet vaccinated, despite months of availability and incentives.

"We've been patient. But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us," he said, all but biting off his words. The unvaccinated minority "can cause a lot of damage, and they are."

Republican leaders — and some union chiefs, too — said Biden was going too far in trying to muscle private companies and workers, a certain sign of legal challenges to come.

Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina said in a statement that "Biden and the radical Democrats (have) thumbed their noses at the Constitution," while American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley insisted that "changes like this should be negotiated with our bargaining units where appropriate."

Fort McCoy Army Base in Wisconsin identified a case of the measles this week as it brings in thousands of Afghan refugees as part of the mass evacuation effort in the wake of the Taliban takeover of Kabul.

An internal government email, viewed by Fox News, said that the base confirmed a case of the measles on Sunday.

"All those who had been in contact with the infected person at base have been isolated, and post-exposure prophylaxis and inoculations are in process," the notice said.


Comment: "Inoculations" aren't helpful, and it could possible make the situation worse.

Crusader against critical race theory Christopher Rufo loses Twitter blue checkmark 'after reporting on CRT in Big Tech'

rufo tweet
Twitter has stripped the blue checkmark from Christopher Rufo, a prominent critic of the controversial "critical race theory." Supporters see it as the latest Big Tech attack on conservative voices online.

Twitter "disappeared my verification badge," Rufo told his 220,000 followers on the platform, joking that he had "inserted my pronouns into my bio in hope of having it restored." His profile was marked by the blue checkmark until a few days ago.

He also posted several screenshots, including a Twitter notification saying his account had been verified "incorrectly," and an alert from Google, seemingly informing him his Gmail account was being targeted by a "government-backed attack." It remained unclear if the two were connected in any way.


Comment: Translation: we only verify people who agree with us ideologically.



Rufo is a conservative filmmaker and media pundit who has risen in prominence in the past couple of years due to his crusade against critical race theory (CRT). The controversial approach seeks to explain racism in the US as an entrenched trait of American society that needs to be eradicated. Critics believe CRT to be a dangerous political ideology that is being thrust upon Americans by malign actors through events such as corporate diversity and equity training.

'They attacked us and killed our children': Grieving Afghan fathers demand fair investigation of US drone strike in Kabul

While it won't bring back their children, a fair investigation would at least restore their honor, two Afghan fathers from a family of which 10 of members were killed in a US drone strike in Kabul have told RT.

President Joe Biden urged the US military commanders in Afghanistan to "stop at nothing" to make ISIS-K (Islamic State Khorasan Province) pay for the deaths of the 13 American troops who were killed along with 169 Afghans in a suicide bombing and gunfire at the gates of Kabul airport on August 26.

The retaliation came a few days later, just as the US forces were about to complete their evacuation from Afghanistan, now almost entirely controlled by the Taliban. A drone strike was carried out that, according to the Americans, targeted ISIS-K terrorists in an attempt to cripple their ability to carry out further attacks.

But reports soon emerged that a number of members of an Afghan family who had gathered for a celebration at their home in Kabul had perished in the strike. In an instant, the rocket took the lives of 10 civilians, including seven children. The youngest of the victims were two girls, Malika and Sumaya, who were both only two years old.

Paris attacks suspect tells trial he's 'an Islamic State soldier'

Arthur Denouveaux of the French association Life for Paris talks to journalists in front of the temporary courtroom set up during the start of the trial of the Paris' November 2015 attacks at the Paris courthouse on the Ile de la Cite, in Paris, France, September 8, 2021.
The main suspect in a jihadist rampage that killed 130 people across Paris described himself on Wednesday as "an Islamic State soldier" at the start of the long-awaited trial into the 2015 attacks.

Salah Abdeslam, 31, appeared in court dressed in black and wearing a black face mask, one of 20 men accused of involvement in the gun-and-bomb attacks on six restaurants and bars, the Bataclan concert hall and a sports stadium on Nov. 13, 2015.

Asked what his profession was, the French-Moroccan removed his face mask - obligatory because of the COVID-19 pandemic - and told a Paris court defiantly: "I gave up my job to become an Islamic State soldier."

Abdeslam is believed to be the only surviving member of the group that carried out the attacks. The other suspects are accused of helping to provide guns and cars or playing a role in organising the attacks, in which hundreds were also injured.

Responsibility for the attacks was claimed by Islamic State, which had urged followers to attack France over its involvement in the fight against the militant group in Iraq and Syria.

Asked by the court's top judge to give his name, Abdeslam used the Shahada, an Islamic oath, saying: "I want to testify that there is no god except Allah and that Mohammad is his servant."

Australia to have vaccine passport system ready within weeks for international travel

The Morrison government is developing internationally recognized vaccination certificates, trade minister Dan Tehan says

The Morrison government will have a system in place within weeks to support the resumption of international travel as vaccination rates rise, the trade minister, Dan Tehan, says.

With senior federal ministers meeting on Wednesday to continue work around vaccine passports, Tehan told reporters the resumption of international travel would require "a system that can enable recognition of vaccination - a vaccination certification scheme".
"We're in the process of planning that so that in the coming weeks we will have a system up and ready so when we hit that 70% or 80% vaccination mark Australians will be able to travel overseas again and also Australians will be able to return home in greater numbers," Tehan told reporters in Canberra.

"We'll also be able to start welcoming international students, those who want to come here to work, ultimately tourists again."
The four-phase plan for reopening Australia unveiled by Scott Morrison at the end of July suggests vaccinated Australians would be able to head overseas again more freely when at least 80% of the over-16 population had been fully vaccinated.


Comment: The term "fully vaccinated" is not completely defined. For now, fully vaccinated means that the individual has received 2 doses of vaccines. They can, and probably will always increase the "fully vaccinated" person threshold, so they can keep the fascistic measures active with the excuse that it is public health care.


Comment: It is a carrot and stick "motivational approach". The carrot is always in front of the donkey's face, but he can never reach it because it always moves forward with the donkey.

It all started with the two critical weeks to flatten the curve, and now almost two years later, we are suffering in a totalitarian nightmare.
Welcome to the bizarre Orwellian world.
