The first peer-reviewed myocarditis paper was published in the spring of 2021. Why even Paul Offit opposed injecting young people.
Papers showing suppression of IgG3 and boosting of IgG4 started coming out then too, IIRC–explaining why this was happening. (As had been predicted by Geert van de Boosche, and others.)

Happy Bloomsday!

I assume everyone is celebrating in their accustomed manner.

We all have to work to educate them about the evil they support.”

Good luck with that! Given the Democrat voters I know, they will steadfastly refuse to listen to any “education”…hands over the ears..nah, nah, nah, I can’t hear you!

Not only is the national level DNC batshit crazy, even the D voters I know, who in most aspects of their lives operate normally, but when it comes to politics they are as batshit crazy as their leaders.

Speaking of gender ideology in the military: The Space Force has at least one general from Outer Space (Snow on Pine take note):

“A top Space Force general gave a scathing speech last week calling out ‘anti-LGBTQ+’ state laws, saying such legislation occasionally prevents her from picking the most qualified job candidates. Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt, the force’s deputy chief of space operations for operations, cyber, and nuclear, made the comment at the Pentagon’s Pride event, where she bemoaned what she described as difficulties placing LGBTQ+ and female guardians in roles that are based in states that have passed purported anti-trans, anti-gay and anti-abortion laws.”

Burt is a person of pallor and a biological non-man rather than trans; maybe she feels left out during Pride Month.
