    All I can find is recent stories (3 days) about halting AZ in a number of countries, struth.  Not vaccination per se.

    Not just the nayzees, calli. The soviets “favoured” them as well. Paired of course, with the obligatory jackboots.

    Wonderful news. That’ll get Sir Scottish Drunk out of his aged care home and back to Ol’ Trafford every game.

    Taking an untested concoction that could kill you, and most likely will within a few years, to avoid the sniffles you would have survived anyway, is not a personal choice, it’s a political one, as no none in their right mind would have taken it if all the consideration was regarding the issues above.

    No.

    You made a political decision.

    A decision to submit to tyrannical government.

    It was done in an act af cowardly obedience because they took us hostage and said if you’re not obedient you won’t be going anywhere.

    Well you were obedient, but you are still not going anywhere, as you’ll need re jabbing again and again until you are dead, and there will be strain after strain.

    Ask the Israelis.

    You won’t be going anywhere, although you may get to talk to 5 other vaccinated people because they too, like you, will have no fight in them whatsoever.

    No concern for the tyrants there.

    The weak minds that surrendered to this helped put their fellow Australians into the Gulags they are building and that’s just a fact.

    Numbers and percentages matter, and you decided FOR NO GOOD REASON (and please don’t give me the bullshit you were scared of covid when they were reporting the deaths of 90 year olds…you are only looking for an excuse to submit and get special treatment.

    Pull the other one. The weakest excuse for compliance going.

    You are going to pay for taking the jab with your lives, and in the process empower the tyrants to take the lives of your fellow countrymen and your entire civilisation, due to your sickening nobedience.

    The obedience that then allowed a social credit system to be put in place.

    You own it.

    Oh yes you do, and the pathetic “I’m only one person” argument is disgusting coming from a declared right winger who apparently is supposed to believe in personal responsibility.

    Don’t fry with Olive Oil, mh. Low smoke point.  Add it to your cooking later if you want. Mediterranean dagos would fry with lard.

    Use sunflower or just plain veg oil.  Don’t use Canola (rapeseed oil) pigs won’t eat that shit.  It is not a plant we consume, so why consume its oil?

    Your schtick has worn thin notafan after 18 months of cloroforming accurate observations of where this is going and relentlessly hen pecking any complaint or talk of organising action along the way.  While simultaneously quietly lining up in real life to obediently hop on board everything from lockdowns to masks to vaccines to license/ passports.

     

    You claim to be above the fray re vaxxes but will feast on your special privileges like a glutton and mewl and “don’t be hysterical” to the people who are locked up and ruined and eventually terrorised.

     

    Despite your claims of fake dissent, you’re never quite on the wrong side of this rapidly ever expanding system, always at the critical moment of maximum social pressure there you are…fully compliant, sheepishly standing at the back of the mob lobbing rocks.

    A coward.

    Min, happy to get in touch, as I’ve also said on the Flash Cat.  I’ve asked Dover to send you my email.  If he doesn’t then we can also ask Adam, who may be busier and take longer.  Carrying on a great old Cat tradition there for people to make personal contact, for it emerged on the closure of Sinc’s site that many were in touch this way.

    Calli, like many others I have a dedicated email address for blogging, political matters and contacts, keeping other emails for family, long-term friends who know me by one of my many names, and home administration etc.  I don’t forward on to others any emails or email addresses I have unless their owners ask me to do so.  Personal privacy matters there too.  And I don’t make a nuisance of myself emailing back and forth for no good reason.

    I enjoy meeting up with other Cats in the pub or here at home; life is richer for it.

    No doubt; where is the old scold. I haven’t sensed his presence for a while.

    Also a pity about MarkA’s lame pics. I mean I can look up the old ribald postcard stuff but MarkA’s arrangement was quite entertaining.

    And this from bird:

    “The condensed milk is probably not 100% healthy.  But it is packed with nutrition, so it does constitute a valid strategy for avoiding starvation.   But the sardines are brilliant.  Sardines and vitamin C could see you through a famine.   Right up until the media brands you as a hoarder,  and the police come around and take all your food.  Which is almost bound to happen if we can’t show more resistance.”

    Now that’s outstanding advice. What a pity the old loon is a rabid anti-semite and apologist for the muzzies.

    Literally just six weeks ago notafan was calling me ‘hysterical’ when I repeated the threats that were starting to flow from the establishment power that unvaccinated people wont be allowed to walk down the street without permission. That the police will be checking your passport (aka licence) to see if you’re allowed to be outside.

     

    Six weeks later Gladys announces unvaccinated people wont be allowed out and police will be checking everyone’s licence / ‘passports’.

    I mean we’re not even talking six months ago here.  Either so dumb that it hurts, or very malicious.

    Classic “Mission Creep”.  It starts out in LGAs “of concern” and then extends to other LGAs because “cases”.  Next, the entire state is engulfed.

    Like the school pupils, it’s “strongly recommended” at the same time as teacher vaccination is mandated.  Next, pupils are lining up because unless they do their HSC will not be released.

    It has been suggested hereabouts that “The Jab” may cause people to actually produce the covid within themselves and that this may even be a source for the mystery cases and a way to infect others.

    The “establishment” say it’s not a live vaccine and therefore a vaccinated person can’t infect others purely from the vaccine alone.

    Which is it. What’s the latest thinking on this guys and any suggested recent links. Thanks.

    Gladys B. is talking about barring the unvaxed from cafés, bars, eateries, etc. before October or so.  A given for travel and events.

    Vax status to be checked via QR existing data or a new Federal Government app.

    Of all the premiers she might be the one to carry this out first.  Sort of PM Morrison’s test case.

    Canola has a good amount of DHA in it. I think it has a bland slightly medicinal taste. I don’t rate it beyond shallow frying.

     

    The issue is really about the ratio of different isomers of fatty acids.

     

    You want the right ratio of omega 3, 6 and 9. Even omega 5 and 7 fatty acids have a biological role in humans.

     

    The concern about trans fats is really silly. A long chain, conjugated cis fatty acid had the potential to self cyclise into a aromatic (or at least have semi aromicity).

     

    Also note we eat signify amounts of rans fats in animals. It’s no big deal. Spurious correlation and latent variables fool the “sciencing” dullards once more.

     

    If you want health, use butter. Milk has a very complex fatty acid profile. It’s a more complete package nutritionally.

    All over the world they’re well into the ‘third jab’ movement.  Foreign media all over the place openly running news (much  marketing and propaganda) talking about the inneffectivness of two jabs against big scary delta and the absolute need to get a third ‘jab’.

    Here in scomstown australia though, the media are running the six month old media / pfizer marketing stories that two jabs works: 98%.

    While simultaneously prepping the population for the reality that these vaccines do not work by explaining that masks and lockdowns and qr codes and severe punishment of normal people is going to go on forever.

    Also the debate over if MCTs are more healthy than short or long chain triglycerides is spurious, they all have biological roles. Only rarely do the longest chain triglycerides cause health issues, but that condition is rare and so are LCTs in food.

     

    I have a friend who has gone full carnivore for over 18 months. No health issues. No weight gain. No scurvy. No carbs, you don’t need vitamin C. I thought he was mad but he proved me wrong.

     

    We should read up on de novo glucogenesis.

     

    We don’t need to eat carbs at all. There is simply no biological imperative to do so until we reach 0% body fat at optimum performance and mass.

     

    Our body can make glucose and glycogen from protein and ketones from fat.
