I disagree, but I'm not quite drunk enough to elaborate on why. Look, you have to understand that nationalism is not opposed to the ideal of universal... not suffrage, but the idea of rights. If "libertarian" can be reconciled with the idea of a state at all (as in minarchy), then that state itself can be defended from the malicious hordes at our doorstep.

Maybe the leftists are perceptive (not likely) when they lump libertarians in with right-wing extremists, despite their own left-libertarians getting caught in the crossfire. It's the path of self-ownership and self-actualization. And what is a body, if not part of an ancient lineage? Do we have the right to cohabitate private land together or not?

I doubt Walmart has any policy the pharmacist is breaking.

However, some pharmacies do. For example, Walgreens in 2018 specifically prohibited pharmacists from choosing not to fill prescriptions:

[She] was determined to do whatever she could to help other women from feeling as judged as she did. She filed a complaint through the American Civil Liberties Union alleging sex discrimination, and Walgreens ultimately agreed to a company-wide policy so customers would get prescriptions in a timely matter, even if pharmacists had personal objections to the medication.

Anyway, pretending off-label prescriptions have never existed is going to backfire on the media, if the unemployed nurses and doctors can pry themselves off chinese dance apps for two minutes.

My wife stated that he did not have the right to stand between our physician's prescription and the patent, he asserted that he did have that right and he refused to do so,

The Somali-stomper is wrong here. The pharmacist can be held liable for interactions they are aware of, and has a duty to intercept any prescriptions that look wrong. It's just that off-label use of ivermectin is proven by studies and practice all over the world, so this is a political ploy. But it's not as simple as a vending machine, even though it should be.

raise money to file a federal lawsuit against the pharmacist and Walmart

It's a grift. There is a lawsuit in here somewhere, but I bet this will be rightly thrown out.

Where "offensive" here means a plurality or majority of your users don't want to see it, which isn't what it means.

Dealing with offensive content means that the majority of the content that the average user sees by default shouldn't be offensive to him.

I disagree. It depends on what the user's goal is. Avoiding offense is what nancy boys aspire to.

RANDOM is useless.

Wrong.

If you don't like how a sub is moderated, don't go there and possibly mute the sub.

Admirable, but the site will suffer from bad content if your default front page isn't appealing. This is the fine line Voat trod, with more or less moderation of subs getting them into trouble. Either your site needs a strict policy that you can hold moderators accountable to, or your default subs need to be admin-only, without separate moderators believing they have control.

What will new visitors see? This is the "front" page. Tailor it to not drive people away, but to still attract the people who have been driven away from other sites. For logged-in users, this should simply be their subscribed subs minus their muted ones, which is a way of asking for those posts to be shown.

Should "all" exclude muted subs? To me, yes. That makes it easy to browse items from new and previously-idle subs without being bothered with crap I explicitly muted. This is especially important as a site grows with different diaspora groups on it. This mattered for Voat and Saidit. Maybe it won't for yours, if it never grows that big.

There has been some 4chan analysis on what purpose it serves. E.g., erasing skin color and Cartesian sense in order to avoid "body shame" or whatever. Though that begs the question why every ad, banner, and header has to have peoploids on them doing nothing relevant, instead of images at least vaguely related to the business. This bothers me the most from certain grocery stores and similar, and those even keep realistic skin colors. Maybe that's one step more woke than even Alegria, I don't know.

For the US: Influenza Vaccine Doses Distributed in the United States, By Season

Note that this is only flu vaccines *distributed,* including any which expired and were tossed, or otherwise spoiled, but not including pneumonia shots or any other kind. But these probably comprise the vast majority of vaccines administered. I would guess pneumonia shots (and standard child vaccines like MMR or whatever they do now) would be next numerous, and they might have that on another page.

They seem to get these number from manufacturers, and there's no coordinated reporting on shots administered. If you knew the right people to ask, you could make an educated guess on how many of those were actually administered. I wouldn't be surprised if it were as low as 80%. They aren't very expensive.

And for comparison, COVID-19 Data Tracker

I searched for the original claim by McCullough on the site he writes for, but couldn't find it. I did find this article from August 31 republished all over though, with this snippet:

The notion that a “vaccine” that has killed more people in nine months than all other vaccines combined in three decades is considered safe stretches beyond the bounds of credulity and further undermines public trust in the FDA

Breakfast cereal is barely food, and importing food -- canned, bagged, frozen, fresh -- is nothing new. This union rep sounds like he has no contact with the industry. Very bad look.

Yeah, I guess. But it's been done better.

I'm not going to release any of it

Then he's not doxed, the point of which is publishing the docs.

Now, now. Be a good neighbor. Bake swastika cookies and put on your hood and greet the newcomers with a homey bonfire.

What a frustrating platform Rumble is, that comments aren't visible when you aren't signed in, and the videos are tedious clickbait that could have been communicated in a few words and images. And this obviously isn't a video targeted to that platform because he mimes an injection and says "because I can't say it." He does the miming and word replacement constantly throughout. This is stupid and unnecessary, and it seems like a fetish.

Here are some notes for those who rightly don't value these platforms and videos which are not forthcoming with information up front.

2m38s It actually starts. Case one.
3m55s Case one bloodwork.
4m46s mispronounces "macrophages"
5m20s "Here's what's interesting." CD8 cells out of range, "killer T-cells", basically an aids test", okay?"
7m15s After the second shot, other standard immune cells elevated, out of range. "Please stay with me, okay?" He doesn't say how the immune system reacts to actual vaccines, the ones that aren't mRNA therapies or adenovirus therapies.
9m12s What has changed? Makes statements about diet and exercise which are probably specious, makes melodramatic insinuations. This makes me less likely to believe he knows the patient at all.
9m48s He thinks "dumb" as in mute is a "biblical term", I guess in the same way "to know" means something very speciific "in the biblical sense"... weird. This guy is an MD? Really? Are you sure?
10m50s "Stay with me." I'm waiting for minutes for something to happen.
11m20s These immune markers make it more likely for a new infection to happen. "Please share this video." Actually, he should be considering flu infections more than even cold/coronavirus, but that wouldn't be eXTREME to the MAX for his viewership.
13m48s "I don't know." Of course you don't. And you're afraid because you can be held professionally responsible for that. Maybe use less bombast and more 7up and chicken soup next time. Just a thought.
14m52s Wrapping up. I guess there is no case two. Rambling that "not one doctor will run that test" after he ran a simple immune test, I guess.
16m36 End

I watched it at over 1.5 times speed, and I still feel like I wasted my time.

I also agree with Stalin: everything I don't like is right-wing.

Is "living a lie" the same as wishing malicious violence to come to certain groups of people? This is some boomer-tier cope that amounts to "we're all the same, only some are deluded". Which is pretty much like saying there's no evil, only ignorance.

I disagree with that.

Orders doubled from universities, jumped fivefold from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and surged tenfold from animal testing bureaus. Purchases from hospitals declined by more than 10%.

Monthly procurement data shows a spike in orders in May, especially from CDC buyers and the People's Liberation Army.

It's theoretically possible prices dropped, so they could have been stocking up. The report is behind some signup form that demands a phone number, so I don't know whether they bothered to look at that.

But if the CDC was buying in May (this article is too ambiguous to say), that puts it still more than two months before the virology lab at Fort Detrick stopped operations, and then was closed at the beginning of August.

I remember vaguely that some of its operations were moved around that time. Was it to Wuhan? I need a chart to keep track of all this shit that's getting deleted.

The trend started far before that, though.

If you wan to grief Merck astroturfers, remind them that their new antiviral is a literal horse tablet.

Molnupiravir is EIDD-2801. Also:

EIDD-2801’s story starts years before the coronavirus crisis. In 2014, Painter and his colleagues at Emory University began a project funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to find an antiviral compound that could fight Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV).

GoT began right before society started to get "woke"

Call me an old curmudgeon, but I disagree.

But it's just pornography with extra fantasy plot added, so I'm obviously not its target demographic. Maybe for those who seek out this type of cable and HBO titillation, "woke" really started after The Man Show died. But for the rest of us, it was just another woke Tuesday.
