"The rising percent of religious exemptions in recent years points to increasing rates of vaccine hesitancy among families..."
By Tyler Durden: Summer has officially come to a close. Families wrapped up beach and/or mountain vacations last weekend as kids now sit in the classroom, hopefully learning non-woke math and critical reading skills. A notable trend this school year is the increasing number of parents choosing to circumvent government-enforced vaccine requirements for their children through non-medical religious exemptions.Local non-profit media outlet Maryland Matters cited new data showing an increasing number of parents have opted their children out of vaccination requirements through non-medical religious exemption. The trend surged after draconian requirements pushed by an overreaching government during the Covid era.
The number rarely rises above a percent or two of an incoming kindergarten class, typically accounting for no more than a couple hundred children per year. But that means that in the years since 2002, a total of more than 10,000 kindergartners have attended public and private schools without vaccination records, according to historical data from the Maryland Department of Health.
Multitudes marvel at how a narcissist tech globalist could be so naïve to believe that liberal totalitarianism would ever protect his freedom...
Authored by Pepe Escobar: The Pavel Durov saga is a gift that will keep on giving for a long time to come. This is what hot information war is all about. So let’s attempt to connect several loose ends.
A high-level Russian analyst makes the case that Durov’s arrest is connected with “anti-French protests in its former colonies, withdrawal from its traditional ‘sphere of influence’ where Telegram infrastructure was used to push anti-colonial and anti-Macronist narratives”.
Add to it an “attempt to influence narratives on Ukraine both in Russian and the international media field, which is highly dependent on Telegram infrastructure.”
Paris is indeed desperate to make itself relevant when it comes to psy ops and influencing/special warfare in Ukraine.
However, as the analyst notes, the French don’t have the tech means to accomplish it. So this may have led to Macron deciding to “exercise a personal pressure campaign against Durov himself. French authorities must be rather desperate in trying to keep their heads in the game of global politics. And Telegram today is (his italics) global politics.”
Paris was just waiting for a big break. When the pilot of Durov’s Embraer private jet submitted his flight plan, there was no warrant for his arrest in France. Only when the jet was on its way to Le Bourget, Paris filed the warrant in haste. Durov was clueless all along.
In a nutshell: Paris got a fateful heads up he was flying into France – could have been via Durov’s Dubai-based, post-obsessive, social climbing girlfriend – and laid out the trap in a flash.
Richard The Fourth: Yvette Cooper has announced new measures to tackle young men getting influenced by 'alpha male' figures such as Andrew Tate. However, as we see when Jess Phillips tries to explain the policy, the Labour types have no idea why young men turn to such material and they are going to make things much worse.
Owen Jones: The Labour Government is promising the same crap which trashed this country in the first place. They want you to believe there's no alternative. There is!
Redacted: Dozens of volcanoes beneath Italy are ready to explode and yet the government is NOT sounding the alarm for people to get out now. Naples could be leveled and its 3 million residents destroyed so why aren't more people sounding the alarm?
