Hi Cats,
As you can see I have created a copy of the Cat for you to continue to bicker, argue and occasionally make a reasonable point.
I do hope a solution is found with the original Cat but just in case Sinc doesn’t want to transfer the site to a new generation I have built a replica before the closure so we can migrate as many of the community across as possible.
Programming Note: I rushed out the site so there will be bugs. I can get them fixed but did not want perfection to get in the way for progress.
Community Note: Please let as many cats know of the new blog as soon as possible so we can capture the magic of the original. In particular would love for the original posters to continue their great work here.
Ideological Note: I am an infrequent poster but long time reader of the Cat. The discussions there have been a huge part of my own ideological growth on many issues. In particular free speech is key for me so will have a very similar light touch to the original Cat, potentially adopting my one policy on an earlier forum I built: “No D***heads” which is subjective but surprisingly easy to implement.
Website Note: I will run the Cat as close to possible as the original because I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel. However if the community so wants I am happy to make changes to improve the experience so if you have any ideas let me know. For anything specific hit me up at the contact form, else go nuts in the comments.

Peter Slipper’s surprise midnight visit to Melbourne church
Canberra reject Peter Slipper can now add “Bishop of Australia” to his CV, alongside failed politician. Andrew Rule and Mark Buttler with the latest crime buzz.
Peter Slipper has been ordained as “Bishop of Australia” by the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church.
Time slips away and so does Peter Slipper, alias “Slippery Pete”, the former Parliamentary Speaker who left Canberra a decade ago under a cloud of interesting allegations, some about using taxpayer funds for taxi fares running into thousands of dollars.
Exactly what Slippery got up to is not so much secret as folklore among political groupies. His CV is now as chequered as Jacob’s coat of many colours — a Biblical reference that Slippery will get because as well as being a barrister and failed politician, he has dabbled in exotic religious denominations for years.
In his latest incarnation, the one-time High Anglican has been ordained as “Bishop of Australia” by the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church.
In that capacity, perhaps, he has made a surprise appearance at a Melbourne church.
Bishop Pete, now 71, attended a midnight mass at the St Paraskevi Greek Orthodox Church in St Albans, which is split on issues including the future of parish priest Irinaos Koikas.
It is not clear whether he was there to give spiritual guidance or legal advice to Fr Koikas, who is facing moves to move him on.
Bishop Slippery declined to elaborate on his involvement when contacted by probing Herald Sun political scribe Kieran Rooney.
But Fr Koikas is clearly grateful, judging from a post on the church Facebook site, accompanying photos of Bishop Slippery’s midnight appearance.
“I would like to make special mention of my dear friend, the Hon. Peter Slipper, former Speaker of the House of Representatives of Australia and Bishop of the Brazilian Apostolic church in Australia who came and attended our Resurrection service all the way from the Sunshine Coast,” Fr Koikas gushed.
“I thank him for his attendance and his personal friendship for some time now. As well as his duties as Bishop, he is also a much-respected barrister in Queensland and Hobart.”
Not everyone is so happy.
The church’s community president Georgina Papafotiou resigned in May. Ms Papafotiou, a former Brimbank Council Mayor, has declined to comment.
It is rising 10 years since Slippery was in the headlines for the wrong reasons.
Back then, one of his parliamentary colleagues told the Herald Sun: “I don’t want to be the focus of a vendetta against him but the bloke is an absolute weirdo and a nut.”
After that, the fellow Queenslander really sank the slipper into Bishop Pete. Who is now, incidentally, also Brazil’s consul to Tasmania.
There is a joke there about the Bishop and the map of Tassie but we’re not touching it with a barge pole. Herald-Sun

Sorry if you have already been alerted to this.
The Daily Telegraph published a story 3 days ago (sorry, am not a subscriber, so cannot access) claiming that Greg Hunt is expected to sign a new contract with Pfizer within days that will supply Australia with Pfizer’s shortly to be released “anti-viral” tablet therapy for Covid infections.
Pfizer has been developing this treatment (similar, it seems to Ivermectin) – probably recognising that the punters will baulk at requiring regular “boosters” for their vaccine which has a short life efficacy of just months.
I wonder if Hunt has known all along that vaccines are of dubious worth. I understand that Dr. Tom Borody, who has developed a triple drug treatment with Ivermectin as its mainstay, has approached Hunt with his study. I also suspect that contract arrangements with Pfizer probably prevented the official approval of Ivermectin, as has probably been the case throughout the western world.
They may go slow on it, however, foe fear it will discourage the “hesitant” from relenting and accepting vaccination.

“SMH:
Wealthy pockets of Sydney and Melbourne have some of the country’s highest vaccination rates, while poorer parts of Sydney’s west and south hit hardest by the latest outbreak have among the lowest coverage in NSW.”
I live part of my life in northern Sydney (although very little over the last 18 months & not in the foreseeable future) & I can tell you why they have a very high vax rate. Yes – there are many, particularly around Mosman/Cremorne/Neutral Bay etc who are in the older age group. But many other parts of Nth Sydney – e.g. Crows Nest, McMahons Point etc are populated by young careerists in advertising, marketing,”human resources” etc etc. Both groups are very into LIFESTYLE. They especially like to travel OS and to populate the many cafes, restaurants, gyms etc in the district.
Lockdown is definitely NOT THEIR STYLE. Consequently,they are jumping over each other to get vaccinated in the forlorn hope that will allow them to live the life of old.
The Northern Beaches, which has a lower rate of vaccination, are populated by people who are very very content with the lifestyle of their locale – primarily a beach orientated life. They are much more “laid back” and less likely to move out of their much loved areas. There are also a lot of laid -back “tradies” who are fairly typically Australian sceptics.

Yes, the UK is doing really well with the opening up. Not surprising as many would have plenty of natural immunity, and also they relied mainly on Astra-Zenica for the vax. I have always favoured the AZ over Pfizer because of rarer side effects, mainly treatable clotting, and far fewer neurological ones; maybe it is better in ways we don’t yet know.

”A man in his 20s has died from COVID-19 as NSW records 233 new locally acquired COVID-19 cases.
He died at his home in Sydney’s south west yesterday and he was not vaccinated.
The man had reached day 13 of his home isolation and was being checked daily by staff from the South-Western Sydney Local Health District.
Chief health officer Kerry Chant said the man had no underlying conditions and “suddenly deteriorated”.
“He did complain of feeling a little fatigued but the deterioration happened suddenly is my understanding,” Dr Chant said.

If he was on day 13 of his home isolation, had he or had he not been diagnosed? It sounds as though he hadn’t, but the lack of clarity is suspicious.
Also, what’s with declaring the cause of death the next day, when there has to be an inquest. Have they done an autopsy? Again, all very murky.

Hairy got plugged in for ten for his second when he had his jab, a week before me. So he will be way ahead in vax antibodies and can still do the supermarketing. Actually, the jab thing has nothing to do with his supermarketing. He goes because he can purchase freely no matter the cost without me breathing down his neck beside him saying that’s rather expensive isn’t it? He also doesn’t see any risk to himself re Covid, which is perhaps a useful way to proceed. In lockdown, he also enjoys the outing!

“This lady is an absolute shoo-in for a Nobel in Physiology/Medicine.
After 60 years, scientists find the missing link in our body’s blood pressure control (3 Aug)
University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have determined the location of natural blood-pressure barometers inside our bodies that have eluded scientists for more than 60 years.”
You’re right, Bruce.
This is very good information.
I remember when working in Renal and Liver Transplant that we had to remove otherwise healthy kidneys on three occasions due to uncontrolled blood pressure.
One of them was a young bloke about 25? with a BP of 320+/180. On his way to a massive bleed somewhere if the kidneys weren’t removed.
IIRC due to a viral illness.

I would appreciate some guidance on how to install my avatar (“Endless Summer” film poster) image in the grey and white silhouetted head space in the top left hand side of my post.
It is merely a familiar and welcome reminder for me of idyllic days in my past. 😂

Chief health officer Jeannette Young told locals to ask themselves if they ‘really needed’ to even open their front door, go to the supermarket, or buy furniture online.
These people, through their monomania, are getting close to contriving a situation which kills people to ‘save’ us – and them from being ‘responsible’ for an outbreak.

Extract from one of the internet articles on Pfizer’s new anti-viral therapy:
“Pfizer moves towards an oral anti-COVID-19 therapy
By Sally Robertson, B.Sc.Aug 2 2021
Researchers in the United States have described a novel antiviral agent against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) currently being evaluated in clinical trials as a treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
“Alongside vaccines, antiviral therapeutics are an important part of the healthcare response to counter the ongoing threat presented by COVID-19,” says Dafydd Owen from Pfizer Worldwide Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and colleagues.
The team has now described an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) that cleaves viral polyproteins into the shorter proteins needed for viral replication.
The inhibitor – called PF-07321332 – also exhibits in vitro pan-human coronavirus antiviral activity and excellent in vivo safety profiles.
A pre-print version of the research paper is available on the medRxiv* server, while the article undergoes peer review.

Novel human coronaviruses pose a significant threat to global public health
Over the last two decades, the emergence of novel human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-1, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and SARS-CoV-2, has highlighted the significant potential threat that this class of viruses poses to global public health.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak began in late December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has infected almost 200 million people and caused more than 4.2 million deaths globally.
The virus infects host cells when the receptor-binding domain of its surface spike protein binds to the human receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2).
While effective COVID-19 vaccines targeting this spike-ACE2 interaction have been developed and rolled out within record time, a substantial proportion of the population is either unwilling to be vaccinated or unable to due to existing medical conditions.
“Oral SARS-CoV-2 specific therapeutics that are applicable for treatment of the broad population upon COVID-19 diagnosis are urgently needed,” writes Owen and colleagues. “Such a treatment approach may prevent more severe disease, hospitalizations and deaths. Indirectly, it may also reduce further transmission from infected individuals.”

“Catallaxy was an early example of the decline of libertarianism into what we can now call Trumpism. By the end, the comments threads and quite a few of the posts were a toxic mix of racism, misogyny and conspiracy theories comparable to Sky After Dark or even Alex Jones
Catallaxy outlived its usefulness by quite a few years. But it was once a valuable contributor to Australia’s intellectual life, as was the early flowering of blogs in general.”
This is John Quiggin’s ‘Obituary for Catallaxy’. He is a full on leftie who wouldn’t know anything about the reality and perspicacity of much of Sky After Dark. There is no racism there at all, nor misogyny nor even conspiracy theorists; only Alan Jones at times gets the closest to any conspiratorial stuff, and he rarely.
Sadly, if nothing is done about the sorts of posting we are seeing from Bird, then the new Catallaxy will deserve the reputation that it will very soon be getting as a place of anti-Semitic appreciation.
In which case, Sinc might like to consider taking back the name.
