as the world turns
So Pfizer's study data on Omicron is now out and it's a much more positive picture than the other two studies out so far:

https://twitter.com/whippletom/status/1468585764992782349

A potential complication is that the other not-as-rosy studies used live virus, while this Pfizer study used a pseudovirus. Pfizer's going to repeat it with the real thing and get back to us in (shocker) a few weeks!

That said, the B-Cell and T-Cell memory aspects are probably the most important and it's good that those aren't neutralized. As a tortured analogy, it's like the Army lost its Special Forces units as they all put on MAGA hats and ran off, but the vast majority of the Army can still fight once they get a wake-up call.

Typical Civil Affairs officer, can’t even gently caress up correctly. We in the superior PSYOP regiment go big or go home. She didn’t even have a deranged Facebook live post about retaking the people’s house for God and Trump (but I repeat myself) before packing two bus loads full of North Carolinian patriots to storm the Capitol. Plus she didn’t get knocked up in theatre by a married man 6 weeks into a deployment! Who does she think she is?!

I wonder how much of this is playing out all around the country. I expect lots and for it to increase in tempo before the midterms and the next presidential.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/georgia-republicans-purge-black-democrats-county-election-boards-rcna8207


quote:

Protesters filled the meeting room of the Spalding County Board of Elections in October, upset that the board had disallowed early voting on Sundays for the Nov. 2 municipal election. A year ago, Sunday voting had been instrumental in boosting turnout of Black voters.

But this was an entirely different five-member board than had overseen the last election. The Democratic majority of three Black women was gone. So was the Black elections supervisor.

Now a faction of three white Republicans controlled the board — thanks to a bill passed by the Republican-led Georgia legislature earlier this year. The Spalding board’s new chairman has endorsed former president Donald Trump’s false stolen-election claims on social media.

The panel in Spalding, a rural patch south of Atlanta, is one of six county boards that Republicans have quietly reorganized in recent months through similar county-specific state legislation. The changes expanded the party’s power over choosing members of local election boards ahead of the crucial midterm Congressional elections in November 2022.

The unusual rash of restructurings follows the state’s passage of Senate Bill 202, which restricted ballot access statewide and allowed the Republican-controlled State Election Board to assume control of county boards it deems underperforming. The board immediately launched a performance review of the Democratic-leaning Fulton County board, which oversees part of Atlanta.

The Georgia restructurings are part of a national Republican effort to expand control over election administration in the wake of Trump’s false voter-fraud claims. Republican-led states such as Florida, Texas and Arizona have enacted new curbs on voter access this year. Backers of Trump’s false stolen-election claims are running campaigns for secretary of state — the top election official — in battleground states. And some Republicans in Wisconsin are seeking to eliminate the state’s bipartisan election commission and threatening its members with prosecution.

Lots and everywhere.

This is how a lot of the last Republican Revolution happened. Get their wackos into positions that anyone with a life pays no attention to and work on controlling things through the ground up. Except last time Newt's PAC had to send out cassettes so that candidates for BFE Zoning Commissioner could listen in their car and deliver the Official National Message everywhere and at all levels next week. Now they can change it daily.

Look around at boring/lame elected positions in your area and run, especially if you're in a small town, and especially if it's the kind of place where republicans run unopposed. At least make them fight for it, and if you think you're not qualified for the job, so what, neither is the right-wing shithead running. He's just using it to spread bullshit and look toward moving up in the next election.
