    yeah...Sinkov - you could quite easily imagine it to be some old comedy sketch, unfortunately, they were being serious....and yes that is the Western Australian Premier, a leader of people ?....and looking proud of his accomplishment even.
    Are they so full of their own hubris they don't even notice how deranged their actions are...how/why are the people putting up with them, perhaps thats more worrying ?....why do We put up with them.

    but look at these full scale French Nutters (cult of covid)...reported a few days ago, pool exercise with perspex barriers to separate them....perhaps that helps answer my question - Folk have lost the Plot, they're furkin retarded.




    in other news.

    Prof. Christian Perronne, French Doctor - Previously, President of the Technical Committee on vaccinations & WHO vice president for vaccinations in the EU .

    European Parliament - Luxembourg on 12-01-2022


    “We have trampled on science and these products called vaccines are the biggest scandal of this epidemic because they are not at all. We must stop this delirium, this madness, of wanting to vaccinate for a disease that hardly kills anymore. Even more serious, giving this experimental serum to pregnant women and children is criminal. We know that vaccine deaths in children are even more numerous than covid deaths "“The most shocking is the total lack of scientific studies on any political decisions. Officially we now know that this vaccine has already killed 36,000 people in Europe, 25,000 in the United States, including hundreds of athletes, as well as a large increase in cancer deaths after vaccination. The best example is that the countries that have not vaccinated or have stopped vaccinating are the same countries where the epidemic ended today. I would say that everything is illegal since a conditional marketing authorization can only be obtained if it has been proven that there is no effective cure, and we know very well that this is not the case "


    “Furthermore, the Nuremberg Code absolutely forbids the imposition of an obligation for a product that is still experimental and not verified. Any government that votes for an experimental product obligation can be personally or criminally prosecuted in an international court for an extremely serious mistake endangering the life of human beings. 20-year-old girls who die of myocardial infarction after the vaccine have never been seen before ”. I expressly ask for a moratorium on these products which are not vaccines, which have not been evaluated correctly and for which effects can only be evaluated in several years "

    High number of Omicron mutations render antibodies ineffective - study
    New research indicates the 46 mutations found in the COVID-19 Omicron variant have rendered antibodies ineffective, accounting for the high number of re-infections and breakthrough cases.

    The highly contagious COVID-19 Omicron variant has a large number of uniquely specific mutations that allow it to evade pre-existing antibodies in the human body, accounting for its high rate of infection, new research carried out by the University of Minnesota has found.

    The research team found an unprecedented number of mutations in the Omicron S-protein. They analyzed the available sequences of the virus along with the structural data on the spike protein in order to understand the possible impact that the high number of mutations could have on the binding of antibodies to the virus.

    Antibodies allow the human body to fight off viruses that enter the system, preventing them from entering the immune system. While earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic it was thought that being infected with COVID-19, or being vaccinated against it, would provide enough antibodies to prevent reinfection, the Omicron variant has proved otherwise, as high amounts of people are being re-infected, or infected despite being fully vaccinated.

    Having identified the unique mutations found in the Omicron variant, the team turned to researching whether or not they were responsible for the lack of antibody response against the variant.

    Using a preexisting S-protein structure taken from the Protein Data Bank, one which would theoretically prevent the binding of antibodies to a virus, they worked to assess whether or not the Omicron mutations would similarly affect the COVID-19 S-protein, thus rendering antibodies ineffective.
    Through this method, the team discovered that specific mutations create interference in the surface of the virus, preventing antibodies from binding to it, while others result in a complete loss of interaction between the antibodies and the virus, thereby rendering the antibodies ineffective against the highly-mutated variant.

    “The purpose of antibodies is to recognize the virus and stop the binding, which prevents infection,” said Singh of the research. “However, we found many of the mutations in the Omicron variant are located right where the antibodies are supposed to bind, so we are showing how the virus continues to evolve in a way that it can potentially escape or evade the existing antibodies, and therefore continue to infect so many people.”

    I have read some bollox on this thread Balan but your latest one really takes the biscuit.

    Have you room for this nonce on your kibbutz?

    I am surprized you do not pay great respects BT ,to our Kibbutzim. (pl)

    A kibbutz (Hebrew: קִבּוּץ / קיבוץ‎, lit. "gathering, clustering"; plural: kibbutzim קִבּוּצִים‎ / קיבוצים‎) is an intentional community in Israel that was traditionally based on agriculture. The first kibbutz, established in 1909, was Degania. Today, farming has been partly supplanted by other economic branches, including industrial plants and high-tech enterprises. Kibbutzim began as utopian communities, a combination of socialism and Zionism. In recent decades, some kibbutzim have been privatized and changes have been made in the communal lifestyle. A member of a kibbutz is called a kibbutznik (Hebrew: קִבּוּצְנִיק / קיבוצניק‎; plural kibbutznikim or kibbutzniks).

    In 2010, there were 270 kibbutzim in Israel with population of 126,000. Their factories and farms account for 9% of Israel's industrial output, worth US$8 billion, and 40% of its agricultural output, worth over $1.7 billion. Some kibbutzim had also developed substantial high-tech and military industries. For example, in 2010, Kibbutz Sasa, containing some 200 members, generated $850 million in annual revenue from its military-plastics industry.

    During the 1980s, following the peak of the kibbutzim crisis, many people started leaving their kibbutzim, and there was considerable tension due to the economic situation. In order to cope with the situation, some kibbutzim began to change in various ways.
    The changes that occurred could be divided into three main types:
    Extensive privatization of the kibbutz services—in fact, such privatization had been introduced over the past two decades in many kibbutzim. Most of these privatization processes, however, were made in matters that were considered relatively minor. Currently, many kibbutzim that have privatized (some of them with subsidies) have also privatized the education and health systems, which were once considered untouchable.
    "Differential wage"—one famous characteristic of the kibbutzim was that each kibbutz member received an equal budget according to his or her needs, regardless of what job they held. In many kibbutzim, members are now paid differentially based on the work they do.
    "Association of properties"—refers to the transfer of some of the properties belonging to the kibbutz, in its capacity as a cooperative commonality, to the ownership of individual kibbutz members. This is actually true privatization (unlike the services privatization). These assets include the homes where the members live and a sort of a "stock" in the manufacturing component of the kibbutz. This change allows kibbutz members to sell and bequeath both types of properties, within certain limitations.

    The principle of equality was taken extremely seriously up until the 1970s. Kibbutzniks did not individually own tools, or even clothing. Gifts and income received from outside were turned over to the common treasury. If a member received a gift in services—like a visit to a relative or a trip abroad paid for by a parent—there could be arguments at members' meetings about the propriety of accepting such a gift. Up until recently, members ate meals together in the communal dining hall. This was seen as an important aspect of communal life.

    When the first children were born at the kibbutz there were inevitably some ethical dilemmas that needed to be solved. One of these was that the kibbutz was striving for equality, including the equality of the ***es. Women were only seen as separate because they gave birth to children, automatically tying them to the domestic sphere. In order to liberate women and promote gender equality, they could not be tied to solely domestic duties and child care giving. The Kibbutz wanted to give women the opportunity to continue their work in the agricultural sector and industrial sector.

    The founders created the communal children's houses, where the children would spend most of their time; learning, playing and sleeping. Parents spent three to four hours a day in the afternoon with their children after work and before dinner.
    In the children's houses, trained nurses and teachers were the care givers. It was felt that relationships of the children and their parents would be better because parents would not have to be the sole disciplinarians. Children grew up in the community environment and grew up with children who were born in the same year as them. The financial responsibility of the children was shared by the community.

    From the 1920s until the 1970s, most kibbutzim had a system whereby the children would sleep in communal children's homes, called 'Beit Yeladim' (בית ילדים), instead of in their parents' apartments.
    Kibbutz babies
    Although the children were not raised directly by their parents, they knew who their parents were and formed close bonds with them. Throughout the morning, parents looked forward to the end of the work day when they could go to the children's house and pick up the children to play with them and dote on them.

    Or, ''WHAT IS A KIBBUTZ''?

    https://www.touristisrael.com/what-is-a-kibbutz/6053/

    A kibbutz is a type of settlement which is unique to Israel. A collective community, traditionally agrarian. The first kibbutz was Deganya Aleph, founded in 1910. Today, there are over 270 kibbutzim in Israel. They have diversified greatly since their agricultural beginnings and many are now private. Regardless of their status, the kibbutz offers a unique insight into Israeli society. Additionally, they are fascinating places to visit.
    Young Jews who had previously worked draining nearby swamp-land for the purpose of agriculture and human habitation built a community for themselves. The land was bought by the Jewish National Fund. They did harsh labor to make the land fertile. These pioneers created a community founded upon agriculture. Following the establishment of Degania, a number of other kibbutzim were founded. Many centre around the Sea of Galilee and in the Jezreel Valley.

    Kibbutzim were initially almost universally agricultural settlements. Not economically motivated, the residents of the communes shared everything and worked as members of a collective. In the early days, times were tough, everything was shared and life was hard. The members all had different jobs in the community, either in agriculture and elsewhere. Some were in the kitchen, the kindergarten or in the children’s house. Members lived in modest accommodation, and children lived in ‘children’s houses’ along with their peers, seeing their parents only for a few hours each day. All meals were eaten in the dining hall and the sense of community was great.

    The influence of the kibbutz in the establishment of Israel is unquestionably great. In the 1960’s, only 4% of Israelis lived in kibbutzim. Today, kibbutzniks make up 15% of the members of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. Following his retirement, Israel’s first Prime Minister, moved to Kibbutz Sde Boker. David Ben Gurion did this to express his admiration for the work the pioneers were doing to develop the Negev Desert.

    Nowadays, many of Israel’s kibbutzim are private however, they maintain their communal roots. There are still places with strong community cooperation and activities.
    Many over the years diversified far away from their agricultural roots, largely into manufacturing. Companies on Kibbutzim account for about 10% of the country’s agricultural output and many of these industrial pursuits have led to great successes. Kibbutz Degania’s diamond cutting factory now grosses several million dollars a year. Kibbutz Hatzerim’s company Netafim was the global pioneer in drip irrigation equipment. They have flagship factory on the kibbutz and many more around the world.
