Kentucky teen who sued over vaccine gets chickenpox

[Image: _106846029__106101166_920x920.jpg]

Quote:A US teenager who took legal action against his school after he was banned for refusing the chickenpox vaccination now has the virus, his lawyer says.

Jerome Kunkel, 18, made headlines last month after he unsuccessfully sued his Kentucky school for barring unimmunised students amid an outbreak.

His lawyer, Christopher Weist, told US media that the teen's symptoms developed last week.


The student had opposed the vaccine on religious grounds.


His lawsuit argued the vaccine is "immoral, illegal and sinful" and that his rights had been violated.

The ban from his school, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart/Assumption Academy in Walton, came during an outbreak that sickened at least 32 pupils.

Mr Weist told NBC News his young client did not regret his decision to remain unvaccinated.

"These are deeply held religious beliefs, they're sincerely held beliefs," Mr Wiest said.

"From their perspective, they always recognised they were running the risk of getting it, and they were OK with it."

The Northern Kentucky Health Department excluded unvaccinated students from classes and extracurricular activities from 14 March.

A Kentucky judge sided with the health department in April, saying the 18-year-old did not have a right to play sports.

The teenager's father, Bill Kunkel, said the vaccines were derived from aborted foetuses, which went against his family's religious beliefs.

Some viruses used to make vaccines are grown with cells descended from matter that was sourced from two human foetuses electively aborted in the 1960s.

But no new human cells have been used since then to produce vaccines, according to health authorities and drug manufacturers.

The Catholic Church has told its members it is morally justifiable to use these vaccines, though it wants alternative treatments developed without "using cell lines of illicit origin".

Chickenpox is a highly contagious virus that causes blisters, itching and fever, though it is generally not fatal.

Before a vaccine was created, about four millions Americans caught the disease each year, according to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Now only around 12,000 people catch it each year.

RE: Forum "Lounge" - Everything goes!
Vaccine propaganda needs to be upped even here, because the medical establishment is known for wanting only the best for the useless eaters:





This neurologist does not know jack shit and neither do other Nobel price winners of medicine and chemistry who have spoken out against vaccines.

Quote:In his 2009 interview on vactruth.com, Moulden stated: "I have now conclusively shown that ALL vaccines, from infancy to geriatric, are causing the exact same brain damages irrespective of what disease or disorder comes out. The damages are specific to end vascular "mini-strokes" that are beneath the resolution of our neuroimaging, but measurable in a before/after vaccination protocol. They are also directly measurable in real time - however, this involves techniques and technology I have not disclosed to the public as yet."

AND "The evidence is now self-evident. All you have to do now is receive the education you need to appreciate and see what is before your very eyes - layperson and Doctor."

AND "It is no longer an opinion as I now have conclusive evidence to show that ALL vaccines are causing the exact same damages for us all in the exact same manner that wild poliovirus caused paralysis, respiratory failure, death, bleeding into the brain, and more."

Even the stupid mainstream admits that the former childhood diseases likely worked to strengthen the immune system for life, prevent cancer:
https://www.bcm.edu/news/cancer/chicken-...ain-cancer

There were numerous studies out in the 1980s and 1990s that were later ignored, because what globalist wants to pay pensions until you are 90? Better have cancer at age 60 and give them 500.000$ for the poisonous "treatment". I have even heard good conventional doctors say that they can easily treat chickenpox, but the quite frequent side-effects of vaccines are untreatable. I recently had a case of a lady whose body began to attack it's nervous system after a bunch of administered flu vaccines. Yeah - she did not get the flu - she rather quickly died a wreck while the doctors shrugged and could not help her at all.

One of the things that made me really suspicious of the push against "anti-vaxxers" was when the chickenpox vaccine came out and suddenly chickenpox became this dread disease and massive public health hazard, which had to stopped at all costs, as opposed to a moderate nuisance which got you a free week off of school.

Yeah, I remember the mass graves of the great Chickenpox die-offs.

Funeral pyres reaching into the night sky and bulldozers pushing steaming piles of bones into vast pits. Walls covered in photos of missing loves ones. Entire cities walled off and ringed with attack helicopters and machine guns.

The Telegraph: Microsoft Word will change your words to be 'gender inclusive'.

Quote:Microsoft has launched new software to suggest edits to writing that are politically correct. The US technology giant has included the new feature in its latest version of Word, the popular word processing software.

It will apply artificial intelligence to recommend users to write in a way that does not discriminate against a particular gender.

Users of the new Microsoft Word feature could see suggestions to change “policeman” to “police officer”, for example.

The software will also use AI to recommend synonyms and ways to shorten sentences to ensure brevity.

“Writing requires a dash of uniquely human creativity. Artificial intelligence alone cannot do it for us, at least not very well. But AI can – and already is – helping us do things like make sure we spell words correctly and use correct grammar,” the company said in a blogpost.

"As the AI in these products is becoming more sophisticated, they are helping us do more than spot a misspelled word."

Microsoft’s rivals have made similar moves after the company first brought its Ideas feature to PowerPoint last year. Google announced in February an AI writing tool to “incorporate the complexity and nuances of grammar correction”.

A trial version of Ideas will be rolled out in June but will be made available to a wider audience in the autumn. The service will initially be implemented across Word Online, a cloud-based version of the Microsoft product and will ensure users can smooth out clunky sentences and improve readability.

Microsoft’s push for gender inclusivity comes amid a wider movement in different sectors to ensure greater care in ensuring the language being used is gender neutral.

Last month, it emerged that Britain’s National Maritime Museum has started to refer to ships with the pronoun “it”, after centuries of boats being characterised as “she” or “her”.

The move sparked fierce criticism from retired naval chief Admiral Lord West, who claimed it was an example of “political correctness gone mad”.

This might be a good time to suggest LibreOffice and OpenOffice as free, open-source alternatives to Word which AFAIK have not implemented this kind of bullshit in their software.

It feels like I'm taking crazy pills when I read about immoral idiotic parents who refuse to vaccinate and whose children end up getting chicken pox and measles. I got chicken pox and measles when I was a kid, as did most of my friends. It was almost a relief for parents when we got it because it was known that once you got it, you develop immunity for life - better to get it as a kid than as an adult. It was no big deal - just a week or so off school. In extremely rare cases, you heard of kids admitted to hospital for a couple of days, but I never heard of anyone dying from it. I don't have enought knowledge to have an opinion on anti-vax, and I would understand the objections if there were a sudden increase in polio or smallpox cases. But chicken pox and measles?

It's wonderful how they pick those insane Orwellian terms for full-on insanity:





"Equality act" eliminates female sports by letting trannies enter their sport. When those men enter wrestling, soccer, then shit will go real as you will have arms and legs broken.

The free speech will one day go down in some "Anti-Bullying safe space act".

Even here you see guys campaigning against interaction with "hate-speech" proponents.

I don't have enought knowledge to have an opinion on anti-vax, and I would understand the objections if there were a sudden increase in polio or smallpox cases. But chicken pox and measles?

Mumps is the real bastard. I still remember the pain in my neck glands and even in my little (yet to drop) balls. Makes you go sterile apparently if you get it as an adult. I don't know. Just chatting shit here.

I got Chicken Pox twice, or was it three times? I got Measles twice as well. Or something like that. I know they say it's not possible, but something weird happened there. I really don't know.

Nothing polarises opinion more than the whole vac/anti-vac thing. I know a good reliable girl that rages against the anti-vaccers, because some unvacced kids in school got some other kids seriously ill and infected them.

My mind is very open on this. I'd be interested to hear Simeon's take on this. Did you ever drop that data sheet Dr. Strangelight? :-)

I don't have a horse in the race, or even a dog.

I will say though that a lot of those anti-vaccers (or wtf they are called) strike me as conspiritards. Losers in life that are just looking for a reason to kick out. Yeah, I know there are conspiracies, but lately I'm more in to debunking them. The pendulum swings.

I've been following one internet famous conspiracy and I mean to write it up at some point and do a thread. It's to do with satanic panic and satanic abuse, or rather, the total lack of it. And a few people making a semi-decent living off of youtube gibs and t-shirts and 'mugs'.

But again, this is a debate that polarises. Neither side fully looks at the facts, but one side is more right than the other, and the other 'more wrong' side, certainly more batshit crazy insane. Young kids being abused by their parents to say that they were abused by the former husband for custody. Youtube videos of young children talking dirty about this and that. About how they meet every Friday in a secret room at McDonalds to take the skin off babys that are shipped in via DHL so they can make shoes out of them! It's all out there. Internet death threats. I'll write it up but it's an ever changing target.

And the people who are on the side of right in that argument (there was no satanic abuse) are the most anti-trump anti-vacc people you could imagine. They are good people. Intelligent people. But they are blind in many areas. But then again they are right in so many areas as well.

It feels like I'm taking crazy pills

You aren't the only one.

Things aren't making much sense right now. There is much confusion in the air. The game of divide and conquer has been played for so long that few of us even know how we are being played any more or even how we are being conquered.

It's ok to be confused in a post-truth society. Well, not OK, as such, but no shame in being a bit disorientated.

My head is spinning.

But at least it's not the pox or the measles or, thank fuck, the mumps.

If you have kids you are supposed to take them to a 'mumps party' or something. Not sure if they vaccinate against it. Do they have chicken pox or measles parties? Just asking. :-)

---------------------------
EDIT:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pox_party
--------------------------------

I know I could google it, but where's the fun in that.

EDIT:
I did just google it.

Every day is a Pox party on planet earth!

Simeon, if you are reading, I realise a data sheet like this is a mammoth undertaking. You've probably even got 3/4 of it finished but not quite ready to go. I appreciate that. But any snippets or bits you could throw out would be good. Not too deep. Light reading for the moment.

At the moment I'm concentrating on the most divisive and deeply polarising debates I can get my hands on. I find that this is where the 'best' information is. Just like the 'God' debate. Just like the 'Gun' debate. This whole vaccination thing just seems to bring out those people who just 'know the truth'.

Then again, maybe I'm not clever enough to begin to understand it even if it was explained to me in plain language.

I know that the pharma companies and all that don't have our best interests at heart. I know that the body heals itself and nature finds its own way, whether that be by survival of the fittest or the culling of the most genetically 'weak'. I know that people are dumb and easily led. I know the issues are complex and not so simplistic as vac-bad/anti-vac-good. I know there are contradictions on both sides.

I'm kind of interested in this again because I got a chest infection for a couple of weeks that just won't budge - it's not a cold or flu. That and what with all the Ebola kicking off in the Congo again.

Just thank fuck I don't have the mumps!

Life can always be worse...

RE: Forum "Lounge" - Everything goes!
Coworker told me yesterday, in a concerned-for-her-young-son way...

"I just don't want my son to be an entitled white male."

Now, I responded with a sort of "hmm, yeah ok" way. I realize later I was simply understanding her concern for not wanting her kid to grow up entitled.

The white male part doesn't make sense to me. I don't think she sees me as entitled. So if I'm not entitled, there are white males who aren't entitled. And I'm sure she would understand there are others (non white males) who are entitled. So the white male part is unnecessary. It's just, "entitled".

Of course, this got me thinking about an alternate conversation:

Her: I just don't want my kid growing up to be an entitled white male.
Me: Well I don't think his skin is going to get much darker.
Her: Heh, what do you mean? (in an accusing tone)
Me: Well you mentioned "not wanting him to be" and you mentioned white...I just don't think his melanin production will change much. And unless you're planning some procedure that hasn't been invented yet, I don't think his chromosomes are going to change from XY to XX, besides the going back in time and adjusting all the hormones coursing through his body since he was in your womb. So logically the focus would be on the entitled part. Unless I'm missing something.


Edit: It's interesting, because this virus has spread so quickly. I'm in relatively small town midwest America. These are normal, hard-working parents with kids who pay their taxes and go to parent teacher conferences.
Our boys are F'd.

You can also watch places like reddit with their massive propaganda shill factory push the narrative that all modern medicine is the be all, end all and anti-vaxxers are the devil.

Useless soy fed morons then pick this message up and spread it around like a case of Ebola. Any truth on either side is washed away in the screaming matches between the two.

RE: Forum "Lounge" - Everything goes!
I tried to find a thread about the whole deplatforming and taking away of financial resources thing. I found a few, but the last one was Roosh's 'Tour' thread, and I want to have a rant, so it wasn't a good idea to put it there and shit up his thread.

But I could have put this in the youtube thread just next to it, or a dozen other places. I'll just put it here for now.

I spent three fucking hours on the phone to my bank today. I've mentioned this before in a couple of other threads. They keep stopping my card for fraudulent behaviour. They won't let me buy anything any more unless I phone them up and explain to them nicely why I want to buy something and 'please sir, may I spend some of my pocket money?'. Cunts.

The thing is, I don't have a mobile phone. They know this. I am also not at home so my landline is no good. They know this too. I have spent days and days on the phone. Six fucking months this has been going on.

I've tried to close my bank account and pay off my overdraft and even my modest Credit Card bill. But no, got to go in to a branch, got to jump through hoops. Money is not good enough. Cunts.

Today I phoned up the fraud department to ask them why my card was blocked. They told me they had no record of it being blocked. So I went deep...

"Can you just confirm for me that you have no entries in your database in front of you that correspond with card blocks?"

Them: "Er.."

Me: "It's a simple question - do you have a record of the times there has been fraudulent activity on my card? You have blocked it ten times now"

Them: "Sir, I really don't think you understand what I am explaining to you. Are you being abusive? Would you like to talk to my manager?"

Me: "Fuck yeah"

Them: keeps me waiting half an hour. Cuts me off.

I call back. After making a complaint. They then keep me waiting half an hour again before telling me to fuck off we've told you all you need to know now do one.

3 fucking hours. The credit card company has no record of my card ever being blocked. Except they did last year. But this year they just randomly deleted the entries. But they don't keep entries remember.

These cunts have dug themselves so deep they are just taking the piss now.

I can't use internet banking because their system does not work. I have not had a single phone call back after dozens of promises. They just lie and lie and lie. It's an absolute mind fuck that has left me unable to pay bills.

This is what being deplatformed and having your bank 'de-person' you feels like.

I recently tried to buy an eyepiece for my telescope. 140 quid. Got it 20 percent off. It's an extravagance I know. But 'Glass is Gold'. Eyepieces hold their value like Computer Chips, or Diamonds. I also have one to sell for the same price to replace it.

Lost that deal. Lost lots of deals.

I like to be frugal where I can, but I'm no spend-thrift. I don't have massive outlay on my lifestyle so enjoy the odd little indulgence of a new eyepiece or bit of music software. Learning the market, sometimes even speculating.

And this is why I got the fucking shits today. I've lost thousands of pounds with them blocking my card, with absolutely no reason.

Every Black Friday and around that time (pre and post) there are some silly deals on software to those who know where to look and to those that can game the system. Like being able to use a VPN, create a valid USA address. Nothing illegal. It's not even a lot of work when you know.

You wait till the last minute, deals come and go, but they are there. Then BAM - your bank has declined your card!

I managed to buy some stuff, so I know what I lost out on - a couple of grand in resales. And more than that I'm losing out on being able to sell the software I did buy because paypal have shut me down too. I'm sitting on thousands here. Not much, just pocket money. But they have un-personed me.

It turns out they did compensate me for some lost finances - exactly half the amount I claimed for, but no money for my time or distress. Remember, I'm looking after seriously ill relatives here and can't use my money to buy stuff. I can't use the phone because it needs to be free.

It's my fault. I should have a working mobile phone. I should be marked with the number of the beast and have six fucking six fucking six tattooed on my forehead. I admit responsibility, no other fucker will.

Things are bad, but they could be much worse.

I'm going to get in to my bank and close my account. I'll pay off my credit card so that will be massive loss of income for them. I'll pay off my overdraft (100 quid) so that will be another loss of income for them (5 quid every month for years).

I'm a financial nincompoop. Or rather to quote Paracelsus: An Economical Retard! (might have paraphrased old Paracelsus there, my bad)

I've had a bit of extra cash coming in here and there while I've managed to flip some software and stuff, so a few hundred extra in my bank account didn't seem odd. Remember, I can't use interent banking because it does not fucking work. On windows yes, Linux, no.

I couldn't even use my phone to do phone banking because my ISP cut off my phone after reaching a 100 quid. Just charge me the fucking money and I'll pay it! No mobile phone, so couldn't call them to reconnect.

Good job though, they have been over-charging me by 100 percent! I'm paying double of what I need to for my package.

Again, talking to cunts in india that cut you off after a fucking hour on the phone! Argghhh...

Has this turned in to a rant yet? I'm just getting warmed up.


And they can do all this and there is not a thing you can do about it. There is a financial ombudsman, but the bitch I talked to thought I was some kind of gimp and that she was a dominatrix. She held all the power. She interrupted me, she talked down to me, she fucked me off. I need to make another call and see how it plays out again, but last time was not good.

You can complain about the police, you can complain about your doctor, you can complain about your solicitor - good luck with that.

I'm only down a couple of grand. I'll never get that back now. I've been screwed. But it hurts because this was my first money making venture, with regard to speculating on software anyway.

If only there was a human being on the other end of the line to listen to me.

I think it was the frustration of the totally dehumanising experience that finally got to me in the end.

It's time to cut the small losses and move on.


When they shut down your youtube. What you gonna do about it uh?
When they shut down your paypal. Ditto.
When they shut down your instagram. Ditto.
When they shut down your amazon. Ditto.
When they block your debit/visa card for fraud?

Remember that. No record in the fraud department that my card has been blocked, let alone what for.

Then fucked off for asking to speak to a manager and told 'that is security we can't tell you'.

Today, I got well and totally whipped by the system. It cost me time, it cost me adrenaline that I will have to pay back in a crash. It taught me my little place in this big world. And all schooled by little girls and fucking gay boys that wouldn't give their full name, while they know where I live, how I get my money, the whole sordid details of my petty little life.

Yeah, I got crushed. But know when you are crushed and don't fucking sugar coat it or cognitive dissonance it.

Let the anger build. Let it grow. Good, good...

I ain't even mad bro'.


The jews did this.

It's capitalism, Rigsby old chum! The greatest system ever devised!

Don't get a fair shake from the banks? Make your own! Laugh

What's the matter? Don't have a billion or two lying around to get Rigby Savings and Loan started? Well I guess your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather should have bought a few more slaves and a few less beers!

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

RE: Forum "Lounge" - Everything goes!
Yeah - I have a huge data sheet and it's finished, but it might doxx me since some people have seen it. I will have to redo parts of it because of it. I did talks on the topic, had even the discussions with MDs (most don't know anything about vaccines, so it's easy to debate them) and the people who used the information to not vaccinate have the healthiest children out there, the relative health to their peers is staggering and at times has been described as an anomaly. There are lots of other doctors who came out since then, so I will just add the link collection which has been compiled since then.

But thanks for the reminder - looking forward to be attacked from all sides at that thread Smile My guess as to why this topic elicits so much anger and viotriol is because they have been led to believe that if the other guy does not vaccinate, then your kid gets sick because of that even while they initially started with a 66% coverage rate that has been pushed to 100% just to be absolutely certain. There are so many scams in the topic that most of you guys would be amazed to hear about them. It's one of those things that is literally batshit insane and will be decried in the same vein as blood-letting and other medieval medical treatments. Though somehow I doubt that I will live to see that in my lifetime- my kids may though.

Ah, dear old Rigsby the 23rd!. You knew him!

Too busy letting the good times roll and not speculating to accumulate.

His harpy of a wife just kept shouting in his ear: "Buy Cotton"

But alas, all the hopeless old drunk could say was:






He was the pre-cursor and the pre-curser even to all the pro-boomers that would go before him (or is that after him).

Just a good job I didn't inherit his proclivity for uselessness and a fondness for the drank.

hic. hic.

Ah well. At least he had fun while it lasted.

A random bible passage I recently read, and wanted to share

Proverbs 5:6-8 (NIV):
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.
7 Now then, my sons, listen to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,
do not go near the door of her house,

Stay frosty, gents.

Norwegian woman dies from rabies after Philippines puppy bite

[Image: _106900495_birgitte.png]

Quote:A Norwegian woman has died after contracting rabies from a stray puppy in the Philippines.

Birgitte Kallestad, 24, was on holiday with friends when they found the puppy on a street, her family said in a statement.

The puppy is thought to have infected her when it bit her after they took it back to their resort.

She fell ill soon after returning to Norway, and died on Monday at the hospital where she worked.


It is the first rabies-related death in Norway for more than 200 years.


Her family said Ms Kallestad had sterilised the "small scrapes" given by the puppy as she played with it, but sought no more medical attention.

Back in Norway, she visited the hospital's emergency room several times but doctors were unable to diagnose her illness in time.

"Our dear Birgitte loved animals," said her family. "Our fear is that this will happen to others who have a warm heart like her".

Rabies is treatable but, if left untreated, it can cause a life-threatening infection of the brain and nervous system in humans.

The disease kills thousands of people every year, mostly in Asia and Africa, where it is prevalent.


Rabies vaccines are not compulsory under Norwegian law, but Norway's Institute of Public Health recommends them for certain types of visits to affected countries, including the Philippines.

"We are very sympathetic with the family," said Sir Feruglio, a Senior Medical Officer at the Institute, in an interview with the BBC.

"It's really important to stress that even if you've been vaccinated before you travel, if you do have contact [with a potentially infected animal] you need to go to a local health clinic for a second vaccination.

"This is a disease that's endemic in 150 countries and it's a huge health problem."

< Calling bullshit on that. Rabies is even disputed as a disease by veterinarians. One did an extensive test to find even proof of existence. Whatever she died from - she may indeed have been infected by something. I would check the hospital itself or the very very frequent antibiotic resistent bacteria strains. The symptoms from "rabies" would be identical to that or to some other crap the blessed enrichers brought to Norway. Better put the blame on some puppy and push more vaccines!

Now there's no such thing as rabies? I give up.
