I’ve helped ensure that our ravenous base is completely unable to think about gun-related legislation with any nuance or thought. I’ve done a great job at keeping this country as a threat to children. I’m going to go relax now.
The footage should be in a publicly available national database. From all bodycam’s, from all police, they shouldn’t even have a choice in the matter. If they can turn them off conveniently when they are about to do crimes, or withhold the evidence like this, they are pointless.
I mostly agree, but the video should only be accessible to law enforcement involved in that recording, prosecutors, and other possible related legal jobs, and family of those recorded. A lot of personal information could be on any given video.
Epstein joined Bear Stearns in 1976 as a low-level junior assistant to a floor trader. He swiftly moved up to become an options trader, working in the special products division, and then advised the bank's wealthiest clients, such as Seagram president Edgar Bronfman, on tax mitigation strategies. Jimmy Cayne, the bank's later chief executive officer, praised Epstein's skill with wealthy clients and complex products. In 1980, four years after joining Bear Stearns, Epstein became a limited partner. In 1981, Epstein was asked to leave Bear Stearns for, according to his sworn testimony, being guilty of a "Reg D violation". Even though Epstein departed abruptly, he remained close to Cayne and Greenberg and was a client of Bear Stearns until its collapse in 2008.
His involvement in finance is super interesting especially since BS was the third bank to collapse in 2008. Financial genius and rapist? Or just a scumbag black mailing his way into wealth?
We live in a time where we have the technology to separate elite power from our daily lives. Elites are security risks.
“Had the net been there, I would have been stopped by the police and gotten the help I needed immediately and never broken my back…"
This logic doesn’t track for me. How would a new have led to police intervention and help? Or, am I now realizing they mean after the jump and landing in the net, then there would be police? But it’s phrased poorly. The net would stop the death, not police. What a crappy sentence. I truly can’t tell.
Ah, so republicans fight tooth and nail to prevent the federal government from bargaining with drug companies to lower prices, but then they’re happy to try and import cheaper drugs from other countries that do have better price controls on medications, just so long as it’s going to their state budgets.
Queue “they’re taking our jobs” and “no one wants to work anymore”.
If you’re a government saying we can’t afford to cover healthcare within the country, but also looking to import healthcare from outside the country, then maybe the issue is that healthcare is too expensive and you should force Wall Street to care about better prices/care rather than better stakeholder returns.
Okay let's talk about what Ladapo is pointing to. It's this preprint from October of 2023 from the Center for Open Science (COS). Now preface, COS is an open place and there's quality there, but it's open, so there's also bullshit. So approaching anything within COS should be taken with massive grains of salt. Additionally, you should take what I have to say as such too. In fairness, I'm relaying information from a person I know who works on infectious diseases.
Alright let's move on. What's this preprint saying? Here is a breakdown, remember this is just a breakdown glossing over the finer points here.
Making the mRNA requires scientists starting with circular pieces of DNA called plasmids. The plasmids contain the genetic code for the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. (slight aside here) The spike protein is how the virus enters your cells so that it can be copied, producing more virus that then subsequently infect even more cells. The idea of a vaccine is to have an antibody already within you that can attach itself to the spike. When an antibody is attached to the spike, the spike cannot attach to one of your cells, because the anitbody is quite literally in the way.
(okay back to the main part) The plasmids are reproduced billion fold via bacteria. A chemical is added to the bacteria that makes them release the plasmids they've created. An enzyme causes our target spike DNA to be cut out of the plasmid and then another enzyme causes that DNA to be made into mRNA. A final series of enzymes then takes the DNA and slices it into nonsense, think paper shredder for DNA. The mRNA is extracted and that's added to a nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC).
(okay another aside) NLCs are made up of a few parts:
A lot of solid lipid nanoparticles. Think of it as really, really tiny blocks of lard. That fill the inside of the surfactant.
The actual mRNA also inside.
A liquid lipid basically a watery like oil that fills the rest.
There's other parts to keep it fresh and what not, but that's the main points. All of these are easily broken down by your body since they're all basically fat, oil, or somewhere in between those two (lard-ish like). The way they deliver their mRNA to your cell is by getting close to your cell's wall and kind of "bubble popping" because the surfactant is made to do that when it's touched by things like your cell wall. Sort of how a soapy hand doesn't pop a bubble but a dry one will. It's a bit more complex, but that's roughly how it works-ish.
(back to what I was saying) So we have the NLCs loaded up, but obviously during this whole process, some DNA fragments from the DNA shredder gets into the final product. This plasmid DNA is what Ladapo and the preprint are talking about.
Okay so we now know where the DNA they speak about is coming from. Does it actually pose a problem? No.
One, the DNA isn't loaded up into the NLCs, so the odds that it'll make it to a cell wall in the first place is really low. Remember the inside of your body is a torrent of flow, if your payload isn't in a ship (NLC) it'll get carried away by the flow. The DNA is likely to run into all kinds of random things inside your body, slowly damaging it until a random white blood cell sees it and says "this doesn't belong here" and then nom-nom.
Two, your cells have walls. And neat thing, it was a whole todo that lead us to the technology to convince a cell to take in a random lipid we gave it. TL;DR - It was really fucking complicated!! Cells don't like random shit getting inside them. Go figure.
Three, yes there is an even smaller chance that a fragment might actually cross the cell wall. Once inside there's a whole dizzying city in there with all kinds of organelles doing shit. Odds are any one of those things is going to catch the fragment just floating around in there. And when caught is sent to the recycler.
Four, your actual cell's DNA is inside the nucleus. Which has it's own complex wall and security system. The odds that any one fragment makes it pass that barrier are unfathomably impossible. But even still.
Five, if it gets pass that. It can't get integrated into your DNA. That requires a sequence of specific enzymes to signal to the cell to begin that process. Which random DNA fragment floating around wouldn't trigger. The odds that, that function is on-going AND a fragment has made the long journey bypassing literally every security system in your body. Even with the preprint's 5,100 ng/dose contamination, you have better odds of finding a specific grain of sand on this planet (1 in 7.5 sextillion), than that happening.
Using fluorometry all vaccines exceed the guidelines for residual DNA set by FDA and WHO of 10 ng/dose by 188 – 509 fold
Which is correct. The random DNA is considered a contaminant. But not because "oh no! It's going to enter your DNA!!" but because of that first point I just mentioned.
One, the DNA isn't loaded up into the NLCs…until a random white blood cell sees it and says "this doesn't belong here" and then nom-nom
That contaminant will elicit an immune response to clean up the trash. That immune response can be your arm being super sore, you getting a bit feverish, and so on. You know, that shit they tell you about when you get the shot. 99.(a whole lot of nines thereafter)% of the trash will get picked up this way. But your immune response isn't super big because it's just trash clean up, your body knows the difference between that and infectious agent. The latter is what kicks in that tiredness and feeling really icky that comes with a vaccine, which that's the mRNA's doing.
Which by the by the preprint mentions.
However, qPCR residual DNA content in all vaccines were below these guidelines … with qPCR and SAEs warrant confirmation and further investigation
This is because the preprint measured DNA via one method and got that 509 fold measure and then did it with a different way to measure and found < 10ng/does (that would be value the preprint is indicated in folds).
And the thing is when these two values are so different, that is typically called BULLSHIT. Which is why on the way out they indicate "warrant confirmation and further investigation". Basically, "I know my numbers are bullshit, but still...... We should be on the watch!"
And guess that's the short version of this really long comment. The preprint admits, it's fucking bullshit. And that Ladapo is resting on this bullshit for an argument is even higher piled bullshit.
In an exploratory analysis, we constructed dose response curves by plotting (Figure 8) the mass of DNA for spike (red) and plasmid ori (blue) found in Pfizer (upper panel) and Moderna (lower panel) vials against the SAE reporting ratio (SRR).
SAE means Serious Adverse Effect and this comes from VAERS data. The same database that had someone turning into the incredible Hulk from a flu vaccine.
Accordingly, for our exploratory dose response analysis we only used VAERS data originating outside the USA to reduce this confounding. Additionally, we have noted some discrepancies in data obtained through the downloaded version of the VAERS dataset
I mean. Fuck these people and their bullshit. They are literally indicating that "yeah what we're saying is bullshit" in technical terms but then get on Twitter and say "make a logical argument!" You basis for trend data on SAEs is shit. If qPCR in lab shows nothing (values underneath the threshold by the FDA), taking SAEs and saying "Oh well SOMEONE died according to the VAERS therefore there must be a multiple effect that if we take the base value we have found in lab and multiply by that, then it's got to be a gazillion fold increase in DNA fragments!!"
It's all fucking bullshit logic and it's a fucking preprint from October! No one is picking this up except the nuts because anyone with half a brain can see this is bullshit from start to finish. If you look at figure 7 and figure 8 in that preprint, we're about to get algebra here, figure 7 shows a linear curve for both Pfizer and Moderna and Moderna is so clean, it goes off the graph when kept to the same scale which is why it has a red box around it. Then look at figure 8 where he adds in his SAEs, it's a graph that just fucking flies upward geometrically.
How anyone can sit there and present these two graphs and say "yeah I stand behind this extrapolation" is ... I've run out of words, but it's stupid! It's literally this. What a fucking fraud. I cannot believe that this is the fucking world we are living in. This even being a thing people are citing is just quite literally the antithesis of science. And the ultimate conclusion of the preprint.
Our exploratory analysis of the relationship between the residual DNA content and SAEs reported to VAERS is preliminary and limited in sample size but warrants confirmation by examining many more lots and vials
NO. Absolutely NOT. Pulling an R2 out your ass and saying, "Oh this warrants us to get more free vials!" is some bullshit logic. To be clear, so the person tested in lab that concentration and found all the vials to be mostly clean (detectable DNA but under the FDA's guidelines). And then took the Lot IDs of those and looked up how many SAE reports came up. Then took some Lot IDs that had a lot of SAEs and based on the information they had came up with a number of how much DNA would have been in those lots.
So say you buy yogurt and find out 2 people got sick off the yogurt for Lot ID A and found that Lot ID A had 1% bad stuff in your lab. Where recall for the yogurt only happens at 5% bad stuff. Then you look up reports that Lot ID R had 23 people report being sick, so you go, "Oh well 23 is 11 and some change times worse, so Lot ID R must of had 12% bad stuff in it! I have no proof that Lot ID R had 12% bad stuff in it, but it must of have that much to get that many people sick!"
THAT'S NOT LOGICAL!!
Now granted the person indicates that they took some things into consideration and what not, but none of that matters. You're just pulling numbers out of your ass. If you haven't actually tested Lot ID R, you cannot say anything about it, especially using a database that people routinely lie to. And admitting that "oh there are some problems" doesn't mean those problems disappear.
I hate myself that I read that bullshit. I cannot believe this is the conversation. Florida is seriously fucked and it's going to hurt people who don't support this bullshit.
This presents an interesting problem for Republicans, and by interesting I mean an unwinnable scenario.
See, if the conservative judges put Trump back on the ballot, they will instantly give more ammunition to people already screaming for court reform.
That's the one thing the conservative legal movement fears.
On the other hand, if they don't come up with some excuse to justify putting Trump back on the ballot, the maga mob will declare them traitors and might actually try to kill them.
The trick will be threading that needle, and I don't think it's possible.
I assume the Republican establishment wants to get rid of Trump, but they also want to be able to blame it on the democrats so that it helps their preferred candidate and they don't anger their base.
Weirdly, I think some in the democratic establishment haven't learned their lesson, and want Trump to run. Arguably easier to beat for Biden. Super risky strategy though, given inflation.
