Cuomo seen pushing barrels of vaccine into Hudson River
NEW YORK, NY—According to sources, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was recently seen pushing massive barrels of COVID vaccine in the Hudson River in order to prevent non-priority populations from receiving it.
When approached by angry people on the boardwalk who accused him of wasting the precious vaccine, he replied: "Ya think this is a waste? Do ya want this vaccine to fall into the hands of the white Evangelical Christians or the Orthodox Jews? I don't think so! I'd rather see these vaccines swim with the fishes, see?"
Liberal witnesses relented, unable to refute Cuomo's airtight logic.
Cuomo has announced strict penalties for any health care worker caught giving the vaccine to the wrong person, ranging from fines of 10 million dollars to 15 years hard labor in Sing Sing Prison.
"As Governor, it's my job to make important decisions, like who lives and who dies," said Cuomo. "If you're not one of my priority people, I guess you just need to do some soul-searching and think about what you're doing wrong."
And, not the bee, there’s this actual news: Cuomo to hospitals: “distribute all vaccines within 7 days of receipt or I’ll fine you $100,000 and deny you further supply; distribute vaccine to anyone not on my approved list and I’ll fine you $1,000,000”
COVID lockdown is just a proof of concept experiment

NYT readers praise China’s “different” approach
“The NY Times published a piece yesterday about the appeal of the Chinese version of freedom:
The pandemic has upended many perceptions, including ideas about freedom. Citizens of China don’t have freedom of speech, freedom of worship or freedom from fear — three of the four freedoms articulated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt — but they have the freedom to move around and lead a normal day-to-day life. In a pandemic year, many of the world’s people would envy this most basic form of freedom…
Of course, the Chinese government is eager to help the world forget that it silenced those who tried to warn the world in the early days of the outbreak.
But there’s no denying that China’s success in containing the outbreak burnished Beijing’s image, especially when compared with the failures of the United States. It has given currency to the so-called China model — the Communist Party’s promise to the Chinese public that it will deliver prosperity and stability in exchange for its unrelenting grip on political power.
“[taking] a look at the comments, there are plenty of people defending this trade off:
The fact of the matter remains that most Chinese are not obsessed with advancing democracy — they are focused on advancing both their personal family and overall society’s prosperity.
And they are getting what they want.
We in the West must come to accept that China’s approach is different but not necessarily wrong simply because it doesn’t conform to our ideas of individual liberty and “freedom”.
Another popular response:
Do you really think that the average existence of a family with two kids somewhere in China is any less free than we are in the US? Does it really matter to be able to speak out against the government there or here in terms of daily life?…
I would take China any day of the week.
And on and on it goes:
The Chinese model is the future and I, for one, am welcoming it. Having witnessed the chaos and the incompetence in the US, I am totally disillusioned in this sham democracy.
Internet censorship, limiting American’s mobility and freedom to travel by eliminating cars, vaccination passports, school indoctrination programs, 70% tax rates on the middle class, and so on; it’s all coming, and many, many formerly-free Americans will cheer the loss of of their liberty in exchange for “security”.
I mentioned this yesterday, but it bears repeating

Of course, Biden, Harris, Newsom and Cuomo’s questioning the safety of any vaccine developed during the Trump administration was just pre-election pandering, aided and abetted by CNN and the rest of the media jackals, but not everyone can shift their beliefs and fears as quickly as politicians and ‘“reporters”. Lies, like elections, have consequences.

We were young once … and (relatively) sane
“The lowest form of popular culture – lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives – has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
He said that in 1992; he had it right then, now, not so much. Early-onset Alzheimer’s, or just a severe case of TDS?

Jefferson bites the dust
Ed Driscoll passes along Daniel Greenfield’s take on the hypocrisy and ignorance of the current crop of college infants
“The ‘woke’ mobs are toppling statues of Washington and Jefferson, and then taking videos of their exploits with phones whose components are produced by slave labor, before binging on snacks produced by child labor, while fiercely denouncing 18th century slavery in the 21st century. That’s the hypocrisy of the 2021 Project. The ‘woke’ scrutinize 18thcentury slavery while paying little attention to 21st century slavery. If they want to understand slavery, they don’t need to waste their time with the revisionist history of the 1619 Project, or the ravings of critical race theory, when all they have to do is check their pockets. Literally.”
But that's Waaacist!

Fly away little bird
Bat flu escaped from a Chinese lab. Trump said it all along, as was thoroughly dismissed. Last week our own intelligence service told the Brits that ‘a growing body of evidence” showed that the man-made bug had escaped, and that claim was dismissed by the media and all right-thining people.
The case that the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the globe may very well have been engineered in a lab is thoroughly fleshed out over the course of 12,000 words by Nicholson Baker. Here are the ten biggest revelations you need to know:
Anthony Fauci Was Directly Involved In Programs That Funded SARS Mutation Research
In the early 2000’s, Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease expert, reportedly shifted his focus from an AIDS vaccine to combatting biological warfare. By 2003, his anti-terrorism budget at the National Institute of Health had reached nearly $2 billion. A significant chunk of this funding, and NIH research, went to genetically modifying certain pathogens, both in search of vaccines and to investigate their possible use as bioweapons.
Scientists raised red flags about these “gain-of-function” (GoF) experiments, arguing the danger of creating new, deadly, highly transmissible diseases outweighed any possible benefits. “The consequences, should the virus escape, are too devastating to risk,” read a 2012 New York Times editorial.
Fauci disagreed, co-authoring a Washington Post op-ed which argued, “Important information and insights can come from generating a potentially dangerous virus in the laboratory.”
National Institute Of Health Money Directly Flowed To The Wuhan Bat Lab
The research lab at the center of the pandemic in Wuhan, China’s only level-4 biomedical research facility, received funding from the United States. The essay reports Shi Zhengli, China’s “bat woman” expert on diseases carried by the flying animals, had some of her work funded by the NIH and the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency.
Funding for Shi was secured through grants from those two organizations with the help of a non-profit called EcoHealth. The head of EcoHealth is Peter Daszak, who allegedly played an instrumental role in directing NIH funds to Shi’s Wuhan lab.
Chinese Scientists Feared The Virus Came From The Wuhan Lab
It has been previously reported that Shi admitted she had “not slept a wink for days” for fear that the virus infecting thousands of people might have escaped her lab. While she claims to have determined with certainty it did not, other Chinese scientists sounded alarms before being quieted.
Botao Xiao, a professor at the South China University of Technology, published a paper in Feb. 2020 which stated, “The killer coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan.” His paper was removed from the server on which it was published.
There’s much more at the link, but this post is already too long. It’ll be interesting to see how many other false claims about Trump will be walked back by the TDS media now that he’s going. For instance, yesterday, a CNN analyst admitted that “the dirty little secret … was that the Trump administration was pretty tough on the Russians”
Stay tuned.
