The Flu vaccine, to be specific. First week of March I figured I'd get that on the theory that hospitals would be the last place in 2020 I'd want to be laid up in during a pandemic.
Hindsight me looked at the first 60 days of a paralyzed world and realized... if the flu had nowhere to go, it wasn't going to be transmitting much anyways.
Indeed, we saw several strains of influenza die out over the course of 2020-2021. If the riots never happened, we might have eradicated the flu. What a world that might have been.
On the flip side, that was the last vaccine I've had. And this year I'm thankful that I posted about getting the covid vaccine on here or patriots, I forget which, and was rapidly talked out of that, not realizing up to then that the vaccine was exempted from coverage under the VICP and ALSO I wouldn't be able to sue the vax company for damages.
Anyhow. New year, so with the adversity I currently face, I remind myself to be thankful I'm in better health than I might otherwise be had I done something really dumb y'all talked me out of.
Thanks.

All shipping seems to have stopped, the US fleet "appears" to have withdrawn, no major news org is covering this at all.
Anyone have sources OTHER than Iran on this? Because there is a lot of silence, even from those who would normally know.
Got you with that tagline, didn't I? But how many of you know the history of the tattoo'd numbers on prisoners in Hitler's concentration camps? Those are punch card numbers from IBM. From machines IBM sold to Hitler. The details of which to date are still in sealed archives at IBM. You can read up on this story here:

With that historical context in mind it shouldn't be surprising that IBM continues to engage in racial discrimination practices today:

"The story broke Monday evening: in leaked 2021 footage released by the journalist / activist James O’Keefe (his title shifts depending on where one falls along the political spectrum) IBM CEO Arvind Krishna outlined a bonus structure that at least in part rewarded hiring discrimination in favor of women and specific, preferred races."
Now I know there can be several reasons for this including infrastructure (that region has far better cell coverage than Ukraine had in its heyday), less censorship on social media now vs when Ukraine kicked off, and other reasons.
Also, let's face it, most people have a stronger opinion one way or another on Israel/Palestine.
What are your thoughts on this disparity?
Or if my premise is flawed, let's talk about that too.
I might forgive you for even asking "Who the fuck is this person and why should I care?"
I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!
If you asked wikifuckingpedia, you'd here that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_Tabatabai
Ariane Tabatabai (Persian: آرین طباطبایی, born in Tabriz) is a former senior policy advisor to the United States Department of Defense who has vowed allegiance to the Iranian government.
Yes, Leftypedia is saying that.
What Leftypedia ISN'T SAYING is that this person STILL HOLDS A US GOVERNMENT POSITION.
What position?
Oh, nothing important.
Just the chief of staff for Christopher Maier, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict.
You know, the person who would be advising on the Israeli situation right up until it became hot.
You can see from this presser on Oct 3 she still holds her job.
Take the time to run this up your flagpole to your local reps and take the time to post about it online.
Another important note:
This weekend was when a deal was being made with the UAE/Saudis to try and further normalize relations. This would have been catastrophic for Hamas.
