Massachusetts state trooper fired over Gov. Charlie Bakers COVID vaccine mandate

Pandemic Christmas at the Brigham - The Boston Globe Unvaccinated people make up less than 17 percent of Massachusetts adults but 70 percent of those sick enough from COVID-19 to require hospitalization. Unvaccinated patients are 10 times more likely to be hospitalized and 13 times as likely to die from the disease. Early evidence suggests that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are still protective against serious disease from Omicron, especially after a booster shot.

How do scientists determine that the new Covid variant is x% more transmissible with y% more/less severe symptoms? : askscience

As Omicron spreads and cases soar, many unvaccinated people remain staunchly defiant - The Boston Globe ... approximately 39 million American adults who have yet to get a single dose. the roughly 15% of the adult population that remains stubbornly unvaccinated is at the greatest risk of severe illness and death from the omicron variant and could overwhelm hospitals that are already brimming with COVID patients ... Nearly 90% of unvaccinated adults said the variant would not spur them to get shots ... Low vaccination rates are still heavily concentrated in rural areas and the South, with Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas and Alabama near the bottom. Those states have recorded around half of their population as fully vaccinated, well below the national rate of about 62% ... The United States continues to see a stark partisan divide in vaccination rates, with more than 91% of adult Democrats receiving at least one shot, compared with about 60% of adult Republicans.a>

Breakthrough case review finds 97% of COVID-19 cases in vaccinated individuals dont result in severe illness

Massive undercounting of deaths caused directly by COVID-19 - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... investigating why the official COVID death count in the USA over the past 22 months is so much lower than the excess mortality in the nation over that same time. What the journalists found is that, in rural, poor, and heavily Trumpist counties in the southern and western USA, a combination of limited resources to determine actual causes of death and social stigma associated with death from COVID often reflected in the attitude of local coroners and medical examiners has led to enormous numbers of people who almost surely died from COVID having their deaths attributed to other causes. This of course is the precise opposite of the pattern that the right wing noise machine has been fantasizing about for nearly two years now, by which Biased Liberal Doctors attribute lots of deaths with other causes to COVID, because (((Bill Gates))) and (((George Soros))) pay them $50,000 every time they do this. The moral of the story is: It's always projection. Always ... the USA TODAY story suggests strongly that most of the statistical gap between the 800,000 official COVID deaths and the more than one million excess deaths in America in 2020 and 2021 is going to end up being explained by a grim application of Occams Razor: that gap, it will turn out, will have been made up largely of COVID deaths that were incorrectly attributed to other causes often for reasons related to why the national response to the pandemic has been so dysfunctional in the first place.
Uncounted: Inaccurate death certificates across the country hide the true toll of COVID-19 ... In some counties, just half of the spike in deaths during the pandemic is attributed to COVID-19. Researchers say that points to a massive undercount.

Phil Saviano Sunk His Teeth Into the Institutional Catholic Church and Never Let GoThe activist has died at age 69 ... The movie was quite honest about how every major institution in the city, which definitely included the Globe, blew off Saviano and his organization for at least a decade.

The Times Scoops That MeltedCataloging the wretched reporting of Judith Miller -- Jack Shafer - 2003 ... If reporters who live by their sources were obliged to die by their sources, New York Times reporter Judith Miller would be stinking up her family tomb right now. In the 18-month run-up to the war on Iraq, Miller grew incredibly close to numerous Iraqi sources, both named and anonymous, who gave her detailed interviews about Saddam Husseins weapons of mass destruction. Yet 100 days after the fall of Baghdad, none of the sensational allegations about chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons given to Miller have panned out, despite the furious crisscrossing of Iraq by U.S. weapons hunters ... Miller, more than any other reporter, showcased the WMD speculations and intelligence findings by the Bush administration and the Iraqi defector/dissidents. Our WMD expectations, such as they were, grew largely out of Millers stories. (more extreme narcissism, trapped in her own lies)
Reporter Judith Miller released from prison - HISTORY She decided to testify after the source she had been protecting, I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, Vice President Dick Cheneys chief of staff, signed a waiver giving her permission to speak. (eventually pardoned by Trumpster)

U.S. Covid Deaths Get Even Redder - The New York Times The partisan gap in Covids death toll has grown faster over the past month than at any previous point ... In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from Covid, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties (7.8 per 100,000). October was the fifth consecutive month that the percentage gap between the death rates in Trump counties and Biden counties widened. ... The vaccines are remarkably effective at preventing severe Covid, and almost 40 percent of Republican adults remain unvaccinated, compared with about 10 percent of Democratic adults ...

Abolish the Senate | The upper chamber has become the world greatest obstructive body ... It may happen that this majority of States is a small minority of the people of America; and two thirds of the people of America could not long be persuaded, upon the credit of artificial distinctions and syllogistic subtleties, to submit their interests to the management and disposal of one third. The larger States would after a while revolt from the idea of receiving the law from the smaller." - Alexander Hamilton

Our Kids Deserve Better: Its Time to Regulate Facebook (kids say, what's Facebook? but open their Insta account)
Give me back my broken night, my mirrored room, my secret life - Lawyers, Guns & Money - Lili Loofbourow has seen the future and its Facebook: ... A few weeks ago, I spent some time looking at the Herman Cain Awardsa subreddit dedicated to documenting anti-vaxxers' COVID cases as told through their Facebook posts. One of the many things it proves is the extent to which Facebook shapes not just lives but deaths ... A lot of people died over whether Henry ought to get to be the head of his own church so he could do what he wanted! But even those deaths dont feel meaningless in quite the way these Facebook deaths do; those disagreements intersected with God and the Reformation and literacy at least. -- Things can change quickly, politically and culturally. In Reaganland Rick Perlstein documents many people arguing that the Republican Party which held 143 House seats, 38 Senate seats, and 12 governorships was dead for a generation in 1977. But the pessimism of the intellect is sure coming a lot more easily than the optimism of the will right now. (the Carter/Craterization of American democacy)

Friday Night Raw: Academic historian edition - Lawyers, Guns & Money -- right-wing seizure of the historianscriticisms in enacting bans on the free exchange of ideas.

He recounts how ABC got cold feet about the project at the last minute, and decided to air it on eight consecutive nights instead of over eight weeks. The series turned into a massive hit it was by far the most viewed television show of the yearand a cultural phenomenon. All of a sudden (white) Americans were talking about slavery, as if it were a relevant topic to the present of all things (Rick also relates how one viewer didnt like the series at all, as he complained that all the good people were black and all the bad ones were white. This was some guy named Ronald Reagan).

According to Drum, what has gotten far worse is public trust in government, and he identifies a basically monocausal source for this: Right wing media in general, and Fox News in particular. Indeed Drum makes the striking claim that Fox News, in and of itself, is pretty much the source of the current crisis of American liberal democracy ... It is Fox News that has torched the American political system over the past two decades, and it is Fox News that we have to continue to fight ... the centerpiece of everything Fox does is to stoke white rage and resentment, and in particular that of the white evangelicals that make up the core of both Trumps base and the Fox News audience (so, Confederate News Network)

Empires, pandemics and the economic future of the West | Aeon Essays What can the decline of the Roman Empire and the end of European feudalism tell us about COVID-19 and the future of the West? ... But the risk is that, by bailing out many firms that added little dynamism to the economy, Western countries will lock in a Japanification of the economy, a syndrome that first emerged after Japans 1989 crash, characterised by chronic anaemic economic growth. In the global periphery, debt-fuelled investment tends to increase output and productivity more than is the case in Western countries, where much borrowing is essentially geared to keeping us in the lifestyles to which weve grown accustomed. The odds are therefore good that the response to the pandemic will only reinforce the long-term trend, of future growth being increasingly skewed towards the periphery.

Can Democrats avoid the pitfalls of 2020?

Republicans spent a lot more money on casting Democrats as extremists than Democrats did in making the case against Republican extremism. (work across the aisle nice Obama-type dems lose big)
Eschaton: Vote For Us - We Promise To Work With The Very Fine People You Don't Vote For It's always a bizarre message ... suggests large TV-ad expenditures on emphasizing bipartisan outreach do not appear to have paid dividends for House Democrats in the 2020 elections ...

Maybe you don't want to defund the police, but you should run on "defunding" the Republicans.

Broken Supply Chains - Lawyers, Guns & Money ... Lean supply chains were great for corporate profits. But they assume that the entire world is working properly, with free and easy transportation, no natural disasters, no wars, no closure of borders.

Our industrial policy has been to not have an industrial policy and not make anything in the U.S. that could be made cheaper elsewhere. There's a price we are now paying for that.

Stolen Wages - Lawyers, Guns & Money - It's hardly any wonder that Americans are rethinking work whenever they can and trying to not return to their crappy jobs. They are tremendously productive, making enormous profits for their bosses. And they get mere crumbs. Seriously, any fair system would be paying workers far more given their incredible productivity: Policy choices, indeed. Presidents from Carter to Trump and every one in between (not to mention their advisors and state-level figures) fundamentally bought into neoliberal ideas of the economy that effectively took corporate propaganda about employment and work and profit and money and turned it into federal policy. Whether a stagnant minimum wage or a lack of union laws or the weak and increasingly nonexistent regulatory state, the concentration of wages at the top of the pyramid has been quite intentional.

Sex, Deceit, and Scandal: The Ugly War Over Bob Ross' Ghost


For John Berger, in the beginning was the gaze : "Seeing comes before words" ... the male gaze, the consumer market and the affluent society not only objectifies the female identity into a sex object and commodity, she, herself, objectifies her own self-image. She is compelled to become a commodity and object in her own eyes. In more ways than one, it is like a slave reproducing his or her own slavery ... One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves. The surveyor of woman in herself is male: the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object - and most particularly an object of vision: a sight ... It recognizes nothing except the power to acquire. All other human faculties or needs are made subsidiary to this power.No other kind of hope or satisfaction or pleasure can any longer be envisaged within the culture of capitalism. (cf Suares and "possession")

The more rural a county was, the less likely it was to be the home of an insurrectionist ... single strongest predictor of where the insurrectionists came from was the relative decline in recent years in the percentage of the countys population made up of non-Hispanic whites ... a belief in some version of the so-called Great Replacement theory ... 4% of the US population believes the election was stolen by Biden and the Democrats, and supports usingviolence to combat this purported theft.around 10 million adults.

The Spanish navy lay siege and starved the natives by cutting off their food supply.

Opinion | The most anti-refugee president in modern history might not be Donald Trump - The Washington Post Halfway through fiscal 2021, the United States has admitted only 2,050 refugees, State Department data show. At the current pace, about 4,100 people would be resettled here this year. That would be the lowest number since the modern refugee resettlement program began in 1980; the previous record low came last year, under Trump alone, at 11,814. Amazingly, monthly admissions have slowed since Biden took office. To put these numbers in context: Over the previous four decades, refugee admissions averaged about 78,000 annually, or roughly 19 times the total were on track for this year.

At Biden's first news conference, it wasnt the president who was out of touch
Eschaton: So Predictable Reporters spent a month complaining about Biden not having a press conference. It's reasonable that Biden has them sometimes, but they aren't really important, largely because the press corps behaved as every critic expected they would ... in the case of the border, Biden now has to fact-check the media, after four years of the opposite ... It was a shit press conference and the reporters are why
Reporters hype -- then waste -- Bidens first press conference

Eschaton: We'll Pull Laughter From The Skies A major problem is that most of the people in elite perches in The Discourse are barely affected by policy, and in fact consider their lack of personal stake in the outcome to be a point in their favor, as lack of a personal stake in the outcome gives them the purity of intellect that only such detachment can provide. Objective observers from the mountaintop. Critics reviewing the show. I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but even after All This...
Eschaton: It's All Around Us Trying to to push Biden into participating Trump/Biden WWE match, and then when he didn't bite, pretending he did anyway. Pretending to believe the bullshit Republicans pretend to be concerned about, despite knowing they didn't care about those things a month ago. The treatment of any policy dispute as mere partisan bickering, rather than something with severe consequences. Tiptoeing, at best, around the contempt for democracy Republicans are displaying in statehouses all around the country, even after there was organized massive attempt to assassinate the (former) Vice President and numerous members of Congress just 2.5 months ago in order to end the democratic experiment in this country. The light goes on for about 24 hours, then they are back on their bullshit.

By day's end, several of the complaints about Boylan had appeared in stories, by the Associated Press, the New York Post, and the Albany-based Times Union. -- It's clear where the abuse of power is, here, and reporters aided it.

Onward Christian Soldiers - Lawyers, Guns & Money Katherine Stewart has an op-ed this morning reminding us that people like Josh Hawley are opposed in principle to liberal democracy, and that we know this because they tell us this themselves, constantly and unambiguously ... Mr. Hawley denounced Pelagius for teaching that human beings have the freedom to choose how they live their lives and that grace comes to those who do good things, as opposed to those who believe the right doctrines ... In other words, Mr.Hawley' s idea of freedom is the freedom to conform to what he and his preferred religious authorities know to be right -- certain variants of Christianity that are very widespread in America today, specifically fundamentalist evangelical Protestantism and reactionary integralist Catholicism, are just as radically incompatible with liberal democracy as are the variants of Islam that today are the state religions in countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia ... 20th century fascism had one of its deepest roots in the reactionary Catholic backlash to the French Revolution: (born again Trumpsters)

How the way you think was shaped centuries ago - BBC Future ... Despite their seeming self-obsession, Weird people tend to stick to impartial rules and can be quite trusting, fair and cooperative toward strangers. Emotionally, Weird (Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic) people are relatively shameless, less constrained by the eyes of others, but often wracked by guilt as they fail to live up to their own self-imposed standards ... While the diversity of kin-based institutions found around the world has been influenced by many factors, the European Marriage Pattern traces primarily to a religious mutation. Beginning in late antiquity, the branch of Christianity that evolved into the Roman Catholic Church began to gradually promulgate a set of prohibitions and prescriptions related to marriage and the family. The Church, for example, banned cousin marriage, arranged marriage and polygamous marriage. Unlike other Christian sects, the Church slowly expanded the circle of "incestuous" relationships out to sixth cousins by the 11th Century ... Analyses show that Europeans from regions that spent more centuries under the influence of the Church are today less inclined to conform, more individualistic and show greater trust and fairness towards strangers.
