From a subscriber:
My favourite Talkback host Bruce Russell died last night. He was on the radio station Newstalk ZB. Of course no one is mentioning the jabs on Talkback. Bruce was pro the jab and encouraged others. He said he'd had two. I don't know if he had the booster. I can't give you the dates of his jabs. From memory his last one was a few months ago. I had the impression that very recently he was becoming more open to reports against the jab.

I only had time to read a couple eulogies but...respect for such tragedy makes me want to honor the loss of each person who was snatched away. I found myself reading on and on.
Appreciating the evil which peers at us through the vaccine ethos feels strangely similar to standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon— the part of ourselves capable of appreciation of grandeur is called on as one gapes at the menace before us in our day as both demand largesse of soul. The busyness and pettiness and the constant distraction and the focus on temporal things all draw us away from the quiet depth necessary to contemplate.
I think that it is those who immerse themselves in the Beauty who alone find the strength to adroitly overcome our enemy. Of the 12, only Joshua and Caleb successfully battled giants. More than then, this is the day of giant slayers.
It breaks my heart that this is a 'thing' now. Cases of SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) were extremely rare. Worth comparing those stats to current ones. RIP fellow humans.
