American health officials have encouraged "pregnant people" to get vaccinated against coronavirus, saying shots are safe for them. However, it's not just the scientific credibility of the guidance that has been questioned. The director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Rochelle Walensky, said at a White House briefing on Friday:
"Pregnant people experienced the same side effects as others following vaccination. Importantly, no safety concerns were observed for people vaccinated in the third trimester or safety concerns for their babies."
The go-ahead statement is based on a recent study by CDC researchers published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Titled 'Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons', it suggested that Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines have not proved more harmful for those who are expecting a child. During the vaccines' preauthorization process, "pregnant persons" were excluded from clinical trials. The updated guidelines for "pregnant people" have been widely reported by US media.

Offering 'Information about COVID-19 Vaccines for People who Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding', the CDC has previously cautiously advised people to make a personal choice about receiving a jab, following a consultation with a doctor. The recent "no safety concerns" recommendations are based on preliminary findings from self-reported data. More than 35,000 "persons ... identified as pregnant," from 16 to 54 years old participated in the research, using a smartphone-based tool for US vaccine safety monitoring systems. Over 800 of them had a completed pregnancy.

Comment: Medical health officials are having difficulties identifying those who have the capacity to be pregnant from those who have not. The attempt to redefine has many conceivably confused!
Given this approach to vaccine statistics involving expanded/altered gender and health determinations, the collected data on vulnerability for any particular segment of the public is questionable.

Caitlyn Jenner to Joy Behar on being mis-gendered: 'California has bigger issues than pronouns'

Republican Candidate for California governor Caitlyn Jenner received Joy Behar's apology Saturday morning for misgendering Jenner.

"Don't sweat it, @JoyVBehar. I'm not about cancel culture. I know where your heart is. California has bigger issues than pronouns," Jenner tweeted at Behar.

The apology received stems from Behar's regret for mixing up Jenner's pronouns on The View Friday when Jenner announced a bid for California governor.

Comment: Encouraging to see that Ms. Jenner chose to be gracious to Behar, instead of kicking up a fuss that would garner a huge amount of publicity for her campaign. And nice to know too, that some in the trans community have a sense of proportion. It seems to be a Republican thing.

Photographs of several people wearing Star of David badges during a massive anti-lockdown demonstration in London have riled social media users, many of whom thought the gimmick was in extremely poor taste.

Purportedly taken at Saturday's protest against Covid-19 restrictions in the UK capital, the photographs began circulating on Twitter, appearing in trending hashtags such as "Holocaust," "Anti-lockdown" and "Covidiots."

In one photo, a man is seen wearing a badge saying "Vacc. ID," while another pair of presumed protesters sported yellow stars that read: "No Covid certificates."

Comment: It would appear to be a most apt comparison, as lacking the necessary papers would be intended to lock out citizens from participating in society. Ring any bells? It apparently has with these protesters.

The Arizona forensic audit continued today at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in downtown Phoenix.

In Arizona, for months the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County have complained about calls for a forensic review of the ballots in that large and important county. The Board members claim everything was fine but they won't allow anyone to get close to their results. They spent weeks after the election messing with ballots before they formally concluded the election results.

But despite their best efforts to prevent an audit of the Maricopa County results the forensic audit is taking place today at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

The audit is being live-streamed from 9 different angles from the arena floor at AZAudit.org.

Comment: Jovan's involvement with exposing the fraud has not been without peril:

How grade inflation is ruining education

"When people lose the connection between their actions and their consequences, they lose their hold on reality and the further this goes the more it looks like madness." — Robert Greene
A recent study conducted at the Naval Academy showed that students learn less from easy teachers. As the researchers state, "Instructors who tend to give out easier subjective grades... dramatically hurt subsequent student performance." While a generalization, these claims support the intuitions of anyone who has ever been to school or met a human. When students can give less effort, they do. So, why have schools been moving toward easier grading?

In a decade working in high schools, I've seen a consistent push to reduce writing, reading, and note-taking, expand late work windows, lighten workloads, dilute the weight of assessments, and, most fundamentally, to eliminate failures. The same can be seen at the university level. According to an article in the 2020 Journal of Basic and Applied Social Psychology, the amount of time college students have spent on academic work has gone from 40 hours per week in 1960, to 27 in 2003, to just 15 hours in 2008. During that time, the average grade has risen in both public and private universities, while national SAT scores continue to decline. Today's graduates are not smarter or more prepared for their future, but at least they think they are.

Desperate to keep George Floyd story alive, CNN takes a look 'deep' into Derek Chauvin's EYES

Derek Chauvin may be guilty of murder, but CNN studied the former cop's eyes and discovered he's also guilty of "something worse than hate." They're not the only network seemingly desperate to keep the George Floyd story alive.

A Minneapolis jury on Tuesday convicted Chauvin of second- and third-degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter, for his role in the death of George Floyd last May. The verdict was as favorable as any Black Lives Matter activists or their supporters in the media could have hoped for, but already they were looking for new ways to keep Chauvin, and more broadly America's supposedly "white supremacist" system on trial.

The narrative, promulgated at once by activists, politicians, journalists and corporations, was that the verdict was just the beginning, and that the nation (or rather its white population) still had to "do the work" to uproot and eradicate racism for good.

Best of the Web: Canadian police return with SWAT to local church run by Artur Pawlowski

Calgary Pastor Artur Pawlowski has been arrested upon his return to Canada from a months-long speaking tour in the United States.
National File spoke to Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski concerning the second attempt to disrupt church services in order to carry out what Pawlowski refers to as "tyrannical interference."

Pawlowski has refused to discontinue services or aid to local homeless throughout the entire duration of these COVID19 lockdowns, and has accumulated nearly 30 tickets for these violations.

Pawlowski believes the local police will continue to try to make an example of him due to his activism that spans over the last decade. This was made clear to him when the police returned to his church for a second time.

This time they brought 10 officers and were accompanied by a SWAT team.

Canadian police have interrupted church service twice in violation of Canadian Criminal Code (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46) in order to perform checks to insure the church is following Covid Social distancing protocols.

Pawlowski has made it clear to these officers on both occasions that he will not permit the invasion on God's House during a holy service, regardless of a court order.


Comment: The cops look somewhat ashamed. They should be.

French authorities detained a fifth person Sunday in an anti-terrorism investigation seeking to identify potential accomplices and motives after a police official was fatally stabbed at a police station outside Paris.

French police killed the 37-year-old Tunisian attacker shortly after he stabbed the unarmed administrative employee on Friday at the entrance of her police station in the town of Rambouillet.

In a news conference on Sunday, anti-terrorism prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard said police are questioning a cousin of the suspect.

The suspect's father, a couple who had provided him with an address for mail and other administration, and another cousin were also being questioned, Ricard said.

The victim, a National Police employee, had left the station to extend her time on a parking meter and was followed into the entry area and stabbed by the attacker. He was then shot to death by a police officer.

No national news attention: Family devastated after 13-year-old stabbed by former friend during fight, dies

A family is broken after a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death in Winton Hills.

The teen's father said the pain is immeasurable and described her as the glue that held them all together.

Investigators said the teen was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital where she died after the stabbing Monday night.

"I held her. I watched her as she died. I watched her, you know. All I could do was just hold her, hold her," Maurice Jackson said.

Devastation, heartache and loss are all emotions that Jackson, Nyaira Givens' father, is feeling after her sudden death.

"I tried. I tried to stop the bleeding," Jackson said.

There are so many feelings he cannot escape, and many people wouldn't be able to either, after the loss of a child.

Cincinnati police said Givens was stabbed to death by another 13-year-old girl during a fight near the family's home on Topridge Place.

Prayers on Tuesday evening helped ease the heartache, but just barely.

"Just tried my best to protect her and be the father I could be, you know? I guess I didn't pay attention to all the other stuff that was going on around her," Jackson said.

The New Zealand Defence Force is threatening to sack service members who do not get a Covid-19 vaccination.

More than 8800 first doses have been administered to uniformed personnel, civilian employees, reserves and foreign military staff since March.

But RNZ has learned some are refusing to take the dose.

Chief of Defence Force Air Marshal Kevin Short issued a stern warning to personnel on the NZDF's internal network Friday last week - get the inoculation or face consequences.

So far, about 180 people - 1.8 percent of uniformed personnel - have declined the vaccination, with hesitancy about the new vaccine being the main concern.


Comment: We bet that the numbers who've declined to get vaccinate is much higher than reported!


In that communication to staff, Short said every uniformed member of the NZDF who could receive the vaccine was expected to get it.

"I have been told that there are individuals and pockets of individuals amongst the Defence Force who are choosing to not attend appointments at the [Operations] Vaccinate clinics, and others who are choosing to not receive a vaccine," he said.
