Hate Mongering
I am filled with despair.
We live in a culture filled with rage and bitterness and greed.
The hate momgering and racism is reaching a frightening pitch..

Who knew? An equivalent to climate change?...
Or worse?...My brilliant insights here are mostly stolen, or at least borrowed. Just watched the remake of the 1951 extraterrestrial film, "The Day the Earth Stood Still". Aliens show up to put the big hurt, VERY big, on the Huperson Race. Seems as though natural causes have made their planets unlivable, and they see the same happening to Mother Earth, and we are the cause. One of the few rare such places in the juniorverse left.
Well, of course they pack up and leave, after smoking a few tanks and attack helos. And after seeing that we're not ALL bad, and that we are merely on the prepuce of disaster, and thereby have a chance to change.
Well, after watching another doc, this one on the Fourth World, got to thinking. By which is meant the already one BILLION of fellow travelers currently living in the slums of the World. And each generation or so, add one more billion to the unfair suffering.
The race is on. Which will bring us down? "Global Warming" or these potentially explosive populations? On dweller said to the camera woman, "Yep, we are suffering, and we will come to burn YOU".
Many reasons both. Some known, some not (yet). Let's see if we can list all of these. I'll start. ORGANized religion in general, and RC in particular. Contraception? The devil's work. Just ask the Holy Father.

CDC says fully vaccinated Americans can spend time together indoors and unmasked
WASHINGTON — People who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can now spend time together indoors and unmasked, according to new Biden administration guidance.
Fully immunized Americans can also visit with low-risk individuals from other households even if they haven’t yet received a vaccine. And if vaccinated individuals are exposed to Covid-19, there’s no need to either quarantine or get tested for the disease, according to new recommendations released Monday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“We know that people want to get vaccinated so they can get back to doing the things they enjoy with the people they love,” Rochelle Walensky, the CDC director, said in prepared remarks. “There are some activities that fully vaccinated people can begin to resume now in the privacy of their own homes. Everyone — even those who are vaccinated — should continue with all mitigation strategies when in public settings.”
The CDC considers Americans “fully vaccinated” once two weeks have passed since they received the final dose of their vaccine regimen. In the case of vaccines developed by Moderna and the Pfizer-BioNTech partnership, which have been authorized for emergency use since December, that means the second of two shots. For the recently authorized Johnson & Johnson vaccine, it means two weeks after a single injection.
Roughly 31 million Americans, or 9.2% of the population, are fully vaccinated, Walensky estimated. But the country’s ongoing vaccination campaign means that number will soon spike. The country is administering over 2 million vaccine doses per day, on average, and President Biden last week promised that the country would have enough supply to vaccinate any adult who wants a vaccine by the end of May.

Been A Minute
Long time no see, all! Hope you have been well through these crazy times.
I actually have something to blog about. In January I had an experience that I’m sure will forever change who I am. A long time friend, who I happened to move next door to a year ago, hung himself. I had the honor of finding him :(.
The lesson so far...live each day with joy and gratitude. There are no guarantees that tomorrow will be “same old same old”.
The only constant is change. I’m looking forward to some good ones. I’m due.

Quite promising medical news for those with spinal cord injuries
This month it was published in Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, that results from a phase 2 trial were completed by Yale Medical School in combination with
Sapporo Medical University in Japan.
13 patients with physical problems from non-invasive spinal cord injury were selected for study.
They had bone marrow stem cells taken from each and put in culture.
Those cultured cells were then injected into the spinal cord from the same patient, from who they were taken from.
12 of the 13 patients showed improvement.
None of the patients had severe side effects.
Over 1/2 had improvement within weeks of injection with key functions that were injured, such as the ability to move limbs, or walk.
This gives hope in a field that has few successful treatments.

Walmart sells white slime.
Someone gave me a chub of Festive taco seasoned ground turkey. Hmmm...I don't trust ground turkey to start with. Decided to do some research on it. First found out who sells it. Checked reviews..rates a minus C. Read more. It is partly mechanically processed turkey. OK, check that out.
We have heard about pink slime. That is the blood and bits liquefied and added to foods. Government had a few things to say about that habit.
White slime is made about the same way. When the breast meat and dark meat is removed, a bony carcass is left. Think about when you devour that rotisserie chicken and what is left. But, theirs is raw. Now that carcass is ground up, pushed through a sieve that removes MOST bone bits. What is left is something that resembles paste. Bone bits must be smaller than 2mm. What is in that paste is ground up skin, cartilage, tendons, blood vesicles, bone marrow, blood and of course, bone bits. Watch your teeth people.
Reading about this ground frozen turkey is rich. Reviews say looks like dog food. Have to keep breaking it up cooking because it wants to make a hard mat. 2 cups of it ends up with a cup of water out of it. Part of the mix is real ground turkey to try to give it some taste and texture.
It is one thing to find mechanically separated meat in hot dogs cause we know what they are. But, to peddle this off as ground meat is an insult.
It is high in salt, saturated fat plus ammonia is used on the slime to kill bacteria. Guess it is more a danger to the processing workers than us. Still..
There is a problem among the poor to eat badly. They have diseases and at the least, obesity. Now the kicker.. This person got this ground turkey from a food pantry that gets stuff donated by companies and the government. He said he got a case of this, plus hot dogs and chicken meat balls in a huge bag. Afraid he cant use it all up fast enough.
To be polite, I took a chub of it. He thought he was being generous. Now what do I do with it?
So this is what our government feeds to the poor. And school kids too. White slime, salt, fat and additives. Nice to know how they care for our poor.

Data on Allergic reactions to Covid 19 Vaccine.
Since the Misinformation is rife by the usual suspects, I thought some actual data from Doctors might be in order. Since this paper mentions the word "Anaphalaxis" Here is a definition from Wikipedia.
Heres the data
11 cases per million is 0.00011% chance. The misinformation peddlers are saying the disease is has only a 0.01% chance of death (actually approx 2.7%) and the high rate of reactions to the vaccine is a reason why you shouldn't take it.
In fact the rate of reaction is 1000 times less than even their lies about the fatality of COVID, and the rate of death is 0%. Its FAR safer than COVID-19 even by their twisted metrics.
You can read the rest of the paper by yourself. It's only 2 pages and an easy read.
In response to: Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death. It typically causes more than one of the following: an itchy rash, throat or tongue swelling, shortness of breath, vomiting, lightheadedness, low blood pressure. These symptoms typically come on over minutes to hours.
Common causes include insect bites and stings, foods, and medications. Other causes include latex exposure and exercise. Additionally, cases may occur without an obvious reason. The mechanism involves the release of mediators from certain types of white blood cells triggered by either immunologic or non-immunologic mechanisms. Diagnosis is based on the presenting symptoms and signs after exposure to a potential allergen.

Heres the data
In response to: During December 14 to 23, 2020, after administration of a reported 1?893?360 first doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine (1?177?527 in women, 648?327 in men, and 67?506 with sex of recipient not reported),3 CDC identified 21 case reports submitted to VAERS that met Brighton Collaboration case definition criteria for anaphylaxis, corresponding to an estimated rate of 11.1 cases per million doses administered. Four patients (19%) were hospitalized (including 3 in intensive care), and 17 (81%) were treated in an emergency department; 20 (95%) are known to have been discharged home or had recovered at the time of the report to VAERS. No deaths from anaphylaxis were reported.
Table -
Median interval from vaccine receipt to symptom onset was 13 minutes (range, 2-150 minutes); 15 patients (71%) had onset within 15 minutes; 18 (86%) had onset within 30 minutes.3 The most common symptoms and signs were urticaria, angioedema, rash, and a sense of throat closure. Seventeen (81%) of 21 patients with anaphylaxis had a documented history of allergies or allergic reactions, including to drugs or medical products, foods, and insect stings; 7 (33%) had experienced an episode of anaphylaxis in the past, including one after receipt of rabies vaccine and another after receipt of influenza A(H1N1) vaccine (Table). During the same period, VAERS identified 83 cases of nonanaphylaxis allergic reactions after Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination.3 Commonly reported symptoms in nonanaphylaxis allergic reactions included pruritus, rash, itchy and scratchy sensations in the throat, and mild respiratory symptoms.
