Wouldn't surprise me Kells with Pudding calling all the military shots in Ukraine and failing big time. But Monkey pox has been around for years and it's not like a scary threat that Covid 19 was it's just suspicious that it's spreading in places you wouldn't think it would normally. :shifty:

That's just sad. And a little scary. We have about 100 birds here on the farm and we get tons of wild birds coming around..its a tense time to be a farmer.

It may be blamed on them but I hiiiighly doubt it was them specifically. They are a very convenient "fall guy/scapegoat" for pretty much any ill in the world though. EMP attack, cyberwarfare, bioterrorism, etc. Similar to China with covid.

All too predictable.
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

mRNA vaccines did not save any lives.

I just said it was possible. My opinion is that it's most likely the most boring option - these diseases are becoming more common as we continue to destroy habitats, leading us closer to wild animals.

However Russia has openly discussed using Monkeypox as a bio weapon, its not like it was just made up. Keep in mind that some folks who are opposed to the vaccine have already decided that the vaccines are causing this monkey pox problem without a shred of evidence. Everything is hyper politicized and it goes both ways every time.

The MRNA actually saved countless lives. That has been shown statistically time and time again. I just looked up the Brownstone Institute, they are not even close to neutral on this topic.

Also, Bret and Heather are hippies who aren't vaccinated.

So this should always be taken with a grain of salt.

No data point should be believed on its own even if the data presented here is accurate.

But I think you missed the point of what they were saying. The MRNA has saved countless lives that would have ended by Covid but there could be side effects that want to make up for such as heart attacks.

There could be several other explanations for the data such a failure to adjust for age.

My favourite one is central banks blaming Russia for inflation. It can't be their own failed monetary policy, could it? :lol: Let's ignore the fact that inflation was already soaring before the war broke out.

Indeed. Here is a good (but long) explanation for what happened.

https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cH ... Nzc3?ep=14

In a nutshell, the government massively stimulated the economy even after full employment was back. And by government I mean the US and Canada but no other countries.

These are the only countries that had a drop in GDP but income went up. Massive stimulation, especially by the US, has an effect on all the rest of us. Even after all the economic signs showed they should have stopped they just kept pouring it on. It could take years to bring it down and it will kill the economically disadvantaged. If Canada was smart and mimicked a place like Norway our inflation would be more like 4 or 5 percent.

Ripped from the AF name's have been changed to protect the idiots

Math problem, Canadian idiot edition.

You get locked in a room by Dr. Theresa Tam. In order to get out of the room, you must find the key. In the room are 3 closed boxes. One of the boxes has the key and a free COVID vaccine. The other 2 boxes have a new COVID variant that spreads instantly and is 100% fatal.

Inside the room, Tam appears on a screen on Zoom. She has a remote control which is the only way to open any box. She then lets you pick a box for her to open. After you make your pick, Tam identifies one of the remaining boxes that has the deadly new COVID variant in it. She then asks you if you'd like to keep your original pick or change your pick to the final remaining box. What should you do for the greatest chance of survival?

I read that something like 80% of money ever printed by the USA has been in the last two years. Yep we are screwed :lol:
