In addition to the ongoing border patrols, this is just a little bit of what the Texas Air & Army National Guard accomplished in August, 2023.

Vaccine Fail: Israel proved Natural Immunity beats out mRNA Immunizations, in 2022!

“Naturally acquired immunity confers stronger protection against infection and symptomatic disease caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 2-dose vaccine-indued immunity.”–Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Naturally Acquired Immunity versus Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: A Retrospective Cohort Study

The study focused on data from Maccabi Healthcare Services (MHS), Israel’s second largest Health Maintenance Organization, the study was published 01JUL2022 in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.

“SARS-CoV-2-naive vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.08–21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to unvaccinated-previously-infected individuals, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021.”

“After adjusting for comorbidities, we found a 27.02-fold risk (95% CI: 12.7 to 57.5) for symptomatic breakthrough infection as opposed to symptomatic reinfection (P < .001)”

“This is the largest real-world observational study comparing naturally acquired immunity, gained through previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, to vaccine-induced immunity, afforded by the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. Our large cohort, enabled by Israel’s rapid rollout of the mass-vaccination campaign, allowed us to investigate the risk for additional infection—either a breakthrough infection in vaccinated individuals or reinfection in previously infected ones—over a longer period than thus far described.

Our analysis demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant for a symptomatic disease as well.”

CoViD Omicron variant BA.2.86.

Quotes from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Risk Assessment Summary for SARS CoV-2 Sublineage BA.2.86, dated 23AUG2023: “BA.2.86 may be more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines.”

“The large number of mutations in this variant raises concerns of greater escape from existing immunity from vaccines and previous infections compared with other recent variants…    Nearly all the U.S. population has antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 from vaccination, previous infection, or both, and it is likely that these antibodies will continue to provide some protection against severe disease from this variant.”

Despite these statements, the U.S. CDC ‘talks-out-both-sides-of-its-mouth’; in the same Risk Assessment they push for more vaccines while stating that vaccinated people will get infected!

Due to the Pland-emic Paranoia, Bannock County administrators canceled the yearly fireworks show, but I showed them!

Me and my middle daughter Aryssa decided to try out the decades old fireworks we found on my father’s estate in California, in February 2019.

Chubbuck Days, 2023: Cars & Candy!

Video

After a seven years hiatus, the car show portion of Chubbuck Days finally returned to Cotant Park in Chubbuck, Idaho, 12AUG2023.

I’ve been attending Chubbuck Days since 1998 (and covering the car show since 2010), the previous Chubbuck Days car show was in 2016, with much reduced participation and many of the vehicles being for sale.

After 2016, the so-called neighborhood improvement projects blocked access to Cotant Park, along with the park’s playground and tennis courts being ripped-up and replaced by a parking lot (also, the substitute park chosen for Chubbuck Days was too small to accommodate a car show), with the projects completed just in time for the ‘Pland-emic’ Paranoia which resulted in the cancelation of all local public events.

Supposedly unsuspecting parents & children were bombed from the sky with candy dropped from a rotary wing:
