Interesting. I had no idea they were fighting against that stigma back then as well. I just remember I was at a sexual peak at that time, and was scared shitless of having random sex, which took a lot of the fun out of my college and post-college living.

 

Oh yeah.  They fought Mayor Feinstein not only on closing the bathhouses, but on such minor remediation issues such as putting health literature and free condoms in the bathhouses. 

 

Randy Shilts And The Band Played On, chronicling the early AIDS epidemic (from Gottleib's first report of illness in the LA gay community to Rock Hudson's death, as I recall) is an excellent book, and covers the subject pretty well.  Shilts was a member of the SF gay community, and a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, but doesn't spare the gay community the criticism they rightly deserve for their rejection and ignoring of AIDS.

NYS needs to get this appealled, so the independent vote counters have a place to be "housed"

A New York judge overturned a law that allowed the state government to place even healthy citizens in quarantine camps for an indefinite time without review.

 

 

The court barred state enforcement of Rule 2.13 because the executive branch lacked the authority to introduce it. But the court decision also condemned the rule for its failure to consider individual freedom or due process.

 

“The commissioner has unfettered discretion to issue a quarantine or isolation for anyone, even if there is no evidence that person is infected or a carrier of the disease. Further, the commissioner sets the terms, duration, and location of the detention, not an independent magistrate,” the court document read.

$10.3 Million Settlement Reached in First COVID Vaccine Mandate Class Action Suit Involving Healthcare Workers

Quote

Today, Liberty Counsel settled the nation’s first classwide lawsuit for healthcare workers over a COVID shot mandate, for more than $10.3 million.

 

The class action settlement against NorthShore University HealthSystem is on behalf of more than 500 current and former healthcare workers who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate.

 

The agreed-upon settlement was filed today in the federal Northern District Court of Illinois.

 

As a result of the settlement, NorthShore will pay $10,337,500 to compensate these healthcare employees who were victims of religious discrimination, and who were punished for their religious beliefs against taking an injection associated with aborted fetal cells.

 

This is a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer who unlawfully denied hundreds of religious exemption requests to COVID-19 shots. ...

No, I meant people who both have penises have penile-anal intercourse.  Because that could be men OR women, who have penises.

 

Really...how do progressives expect to put basic public health measures in place when they can't even define words?

100% accurate.  Also how do they expect to convince them of serious issues when they talk like that.  😡

Y'know...if Google is going to set their own censorship policies, then I'll buy the typical progressive "The First Amendment doesn't apply to private companies, freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" argument.  I don't agree with it, I don't like it...but I'll buy it, as having some rational basis.

 

But if Google is going to explicitly act as a branch of the government at the government's behest...then &#%$ that.  The First Amendment should absolutely be applied to them.

Scientific Evidence

Epidemiologist and researcher Dr. Paul Alexander disagree. He says that there are over 150 studies and articles that conclude cloth and surgical masks are not effective in slowing the spread of COVID-19 and does more harm.

“To date, the evidence has been stable and clear that masks do not work to control the virus and they can be harmful and especially to children,” Alexander wrote in a February op-ed for The Epoch Times.

 

 

 

The study is one of the first to address the probable hygiene issues caused by bacterial and fungal growth on masks worn daily in the community.

 

“Since masks can be a direct source of infection to the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and skin, it is crucial to maintain their hygiene to prevent bacterial and fungal infections that can exacerbate COVID-19,” the authors wrote.

 

The study involved 109 participants aged 21 to 22 years who were asked about the type and duration of mask used and their lifestyle habits. Bacteria and fungi were collected from the three types of masks—gauze, polyurethane, and non-woven—worn between September and October 2020.

The researchers found that the face side of the masks had more bacteria, whereas the outer side of the masks contained more fungi.

Programs in countries around the world have begun quietly compensating people who have been injured by or died as a result of the COVID-19 vaccines

 

 

In many countries around the world, consumers who are injured as a result of vaccines are covered by government compensation programs. In the United States there are two government-funded programs that are designed to compensate consumers for injuries, at the same time shielding vaccine manufacturers from liability for any serious injuries their products cause: The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).

Not a Single Claim Compensated in United States

As of July 1, 2022, not a single claim has been compensated by the CICP. However, 31 COVID-19 countermeasure claims have been denied, “because the standard of proof for causation was not met and/or a covered injury was not sustained,” according to the CICP website. “One COVID-19 countermeasure claim, a COVID-19 vaccine claim due to an anaphylactic reaction, has been determined eligible for compensation and is pending a review of eligible expenses.”

At the same time, countries around the world are quietly compensating families whose loved ones have been injured or have died as a result of COVID-19 vaccines.

Help from Helminths

According to these researchers, the absence of intestinal worms, also known as helminths, among people in high-income countries compromises their health, making them more prone to severe COVID infections.

 

Ivermectin-Improved Outcomes

Another reason that Africa has fared so much better than Europe and America may be the widespread use of ivermectin, according to a team of researchers in Colombia.

 

While ivermectin remains controversial, clinicians around the world have reported excellent outcomes using ivermectin as part of an early treatment protocol.

 

Measures That Made Things Worse

The counties with mask mandates experienced 50 percent more COVID-19 deaths than the mask-free counties.

 

As Zacharias Fögen, a doctor based in Germany, explained in this study, people wearing masks unconsciously preserved droplets from the virus within their facemasks and re-inhaled them into their lungs.

 

So, according to Dr. Fögen, masking actually increases viral load, causing people to re-breathe particles that the respiratory tract has already purposely removed.

 

Social Distancing Harms Our Systems

Dr. Byram Bridle, an immunologist from the University of Guelph in Canada told a reporter for The Guardian that socially isolating children limits their exposure to the natural world, which is full of microbes that help the immune system grow stronger.

 

People forced to socially distance lack microbes and are more at risk of suffering from an array of inflammatory diseases upon coming out of isolation.

 

The Virus Versus Vaccines

As explained in an article by Dr. Joseph Mercola, author of “The Truth About COVID-19” and a health practitioner who has been closely scrutinizing pandemic data, vaccination rates in Sub-Saharan Africa are less than 6 percent. Despite making up over 17 percent of the world’s population, Africa contributes only 3 percent to the global COVID-19 death total.

 

The unintended negative effects of high vaccination rates in developed countries like the United States are frightening. As of July 15th, 2022, there have been 1,350,947 adverse events reported to the CDC and the FDA via VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System
