The Holy Bonds of Minimony

The Globe is truly evil in every way, shape, and form:

"Saying ‘I do’ at a ‘minimony’" by Diti Kohli Globe Correspondent, August 24, 2020

At first glance, the St. James Room in the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel looked completely normal. Its ceiling-length mirrors reflected the soft wedding decorations sprinkled around the room. Evening light poured in through the windows, blessing the golden-colored chairs and the floral archway beneath which the bride and groom would soon share their vows, but first impressions aren’t always what they seem.

In reality, the room looked starkly different than it would have pre-pandemic. With enough room to seat 80 to 120 guests, the almost 3,000-square-foot space had been set up to accommodate just 10 people. Few chairs had been placed on the floor, and glammed-up guests donned masks. There were no corners allotted for frenzied conversation and catch-up between old friends. There was no dance floor.

Once again I am treated to an abhorrent piece of offensively elitist insult as the demons over at the Globe are literally all about killing joy and love. They are truly satanic over there. They despise all life and love, and the diabolical agenda they are promoting is straight from hell.

That’s because this was a “minimony,” a socially distanced, COVID-friendly celebration the hotel has specifically created for couples eager to host their weddings indoors once again, but it eliminates the (literal) touchy-feely aspects of an event that can easily become a breeding ground for COVID-19. (Last week, more than 50 cases and one death were linked to a Maine wedding.)

I know all about the wedding in Maine, and you can't even get married in New York anymore, but NO TOUCHY FEELY PDAs at a WEDDING!! 

I'm apoplectic right now because of the insane, upside-down optics there.

Can't go to a wedding, can't go to a bar, can't go to a church, but can riot in the streets for three months with no end in sight and no testing, no tracing, no worries!

C'mon, people!

“It’s definitely a different kind of celebration,” said Alice Fay, the hotel’s wedding specialist. “Seeing all the happy couples and their families and the excitement — that’s what makes it worth it.”

Yeah, the privileged few who are overjoyed while most of the guests are persona non grata thanks to tyrannical government. They don't wan't us peaceably assembling because we will all talk about the tyranny and fraud of COVID and organize to do something about it.

The ceremonies adhere to state safety guidelines that call for masks, social distancing, and limiting indoor gatherings to no more than 25 people. Guests may remove their face coverings only when all hotel staff have left the room, and the tables for post-ceremony champagne toasts are spread 6 feet apart.

The Fairmont Copley hosted five ceremonies the first weekend it offered the package. Now it has more than four dozen bookings through December. (In a normal year, the hotel hosts 70 large-scale weddings in its three main rooms.) Similar wedding packages are trending around the country, including at the Boston Public Library.

Looks like another indu$try meant the Bill G dump heap.

So “minimonies” are the new thing — the latest alternative to traditional weddings that have been evolving since March. First came virtual Zoom weddings. Then small, do-it-yourself backyard celebrations, and now this.

Better be careful on Zoom, and I suppose there is no evolving back after saying I do.

For bride Laura DiCaronimo, an August wedding at the Fairmont Copley couldn’t have come at a better time in a year otherwise marred by death and devastation. “I don’t care if it’s the middle of the end of the world,” she said. “This is my wedding day.”

The self-centeredness is strange in this era of we are all in this together for the community, corporate garbage we are being fed through media in AmeriKa. Has the whiff of communi$m.

DiCaronimo originally planned an October wedding at a Fitchburg brewery. Shortly after those plans were put in jeopardy by the COVID crisis, her mother’s health deteriorated. She decided the wedding needed to happen sooner. “The stress of wedding planning is real, but it’s exciting,” she said, “but then it went from exciting to scary to hellish, and everything became unthinkable and impossible, and had we done our plan, my mom might have not been able to come. That would have broken me.”

I really don't know where the Globe finds these people or if they even exist; in any case, I find them the most detestable creatures alive.

Despite a limited guest list, Katelyn Lynch’s “minimony” came with an unexpected positive.

:(

Her parents had exchanged vows in the hotel’s Oval Room 47 years ago, yet before the pandemic the venue was far out of Lynch’s price range, but with no choice other than to have a small wedding, she could afford to say “I do” in the same room as her mom and dad did.

That made it easier for the bride to accept the fact that her husband’s family wouldn’t be able to travel from Florida to attend.

“It was lovely,” said Lynch. “I know there’s nothing much more I can wish for at this point. Getting married during a pandemic in this beautiful room? Perfect.”

I'm aghast.

This shrug of the shoulders at total tyranny and the smothering if not extermination of love and joy, has left me shaking my hands and shoulders in speechlessness.

Each minimony at the Fairmont Copley costs $1,000 for a one-hour ceremony and champagne celebration. For many couples, the price is right.

“When we opened up, people started sending requests like they were auditioning for a spot,” said Fay. “People were sending their love stories to my inbox. We just did first-come, first-serve.”

Well, I always like being last so..... see ya.

Oh, where to go for a honeymoon:

"Catalonia''s president has announced a ban on social gatherings of more than 10 people and widespread testing of half a million students in Spain''s northeastern region. The new series of measures announced by Quim Torra on Monday aim to curb a wave of new coronavirus infections ahead of the re-opening of schools in mid-September, which officials and experts fear could become a vector for more contagion. Torra said that the next three weeks are crucial in fighting not only the current incidence of the pandemic but how it will evolve in autumn and winter. Catalonia reported 1,776 new infections on Monday, with nearly 700 people currently in hospitals and 134 of them in intensive care units. Spain as a whole leads Europe''s charts with more than 386,000 total reported infections since February....."

It is the same, receptive script being rolled out again, and Spain is supposed to be one of the amorous countries of Europe, but it's cases continue to rise since easing the lockdown.

How about the rolling greens of Ireland?

"Ireland’s prime minister was forced to defend the future of his government Monday as criticism mounted over a golf event attended by senior politicians despite a ban on large gatherings designed to slow the spread of COVID-19. Taoiseach Micheal Martin, during a 40-minute grilling by national broadcaster RTE, welcomed public outrage over the event, which has already led to the resignation of his agriculture minister and the deputy speaker of the upper house of parliament, because he said it underscored the need for everyone to combat the spread of coronavirus, but he sought to focus attention on the Irish government’s legislative record, not speculation that his coalition will collapse over the scandal. The scandal erupted last week amid reports that more than 80 people, including senior members of Martin’s party, Fianna Fael, attended a golf society dinner in Galway on Aug. 19. That was a day after the government re-introduced social distancing rules that bar large social events and say no more than eight people should sit together in restaurants....."

I would hope stereotypes hold here and the Irish peel the hypocritical tyrant like a potato.

I guess it's a stay-at-home honeymoon then:

"Massachusetts had 27 new deaths due to COVID-19 and 571 new cases of the virus, the state reported Monday, as officials resumed the flow of the state’s coronavirus dashboard Monday following an upgrade to its laboratory reporting system over the weekend. The Department of Public Health reported that the state’s confirmed death toll due to the coronavirus rose to 8,717 and the total number of confirmed cases climbed to 116,421. The case and death numbers are higher than usual because the state is relaying metrics reported from 5 p.m. Friday through 8 a.m. Monday, officials said....."

I say take a look at the dashboard, slow down, and read the sweatshirts that say "Day Drinking because 2020 Sucks," and "Liquor -- the glue holding this 2020 shitshow(sic) together."

"Chelsea continues to contend with high rates of infection, but state statistics suggest another diverse, working class city to the north has surpassed it. By some measure, the city held most tightly in the clutches of COVID-19 is now Lynn. Even as officials pour resources into preventing a further rise in infections, conclusive explanations for Lynn’s struggle to contain the virus remain out of reach. Some here blame lax attitudes toward the pandemic, but a familiar pattern is plainly at play: Once again, a city that is home to a large number of people of color, immigrants, and essential workers is bearing the brunt of COVID-19....."

So they say, even though the approved, city-sacking protesters came in at less than 1% infected.

Now they are protesting about being excluded from the shots:

"Protesters slam lack of diversity in vaccine trial, but Brigham disputes numbers" by Jonathan Saltzman Globe Staff, August 24, 2020

A small group of protesters gathered outside Brigham and Women’s Hospital Monday to criticize what they characterized as inadequate efforts by the hospital to enroll Black patients in a clinical trial of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine.

They want to be GMO guinea pigs led to slaughter?

Members of the Black Boston COVID-19 Coalition said only 4 percent of volunteers for the trial of a vaccine developed partly by Cambridge biotech Moderna are Black, but a hospital spokeswoman disputed that. Black residents represent about 7 percent of the state’s population, but their rate of positive COVID-19 cases is double that, at 14.4 percent, the Baker administration said in June.

Tests are loaded with contaminants, false positives, and don't specifically identify the chimeric COVID-19.

It's a HUGE $CAM, folks, and sociopathic sick one at that.

Priscilla Flint-Banks, one of the leaders of the protest group, said her organization met a couple of weeks ago with officials at the hospital, one of about 90 clinical sites nationwide for the late-stage trial of the vaccine. Among the requests of activists was that Brigham and Women’s make sure the vaccine study involved “doctors and researchers that look like us,” she said.

It's the pay, i$n't it?

“We know what happened in Tuskegee. We know what happened with Henrietta Lacks,” Flint-Banks said at the protest.

They didn't learn the lesson!

Those were references to two of the most notorious cases of medical research abuse in US history: The decades-long Tuskegee Syphilis Study that was exposed in 1972, and the cells taken from a patient at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951 during treatment for cervical cancer and then cultured for a human cell line without her consent; however, Erin McDonough, a spokeswoman for the Brigham, disputed Flint-Banks’s figures for the percentage of Black participants in the vaccine trial at the hospital. In fact, she said, more than a third of current trial participants are from communities of color, and 12 percent are Black.

“Our community outreach team has been engaging with surrounding neighborhoods to raise awareness about the critical importance of ensuring that clinical trial participants represent the diverse populations which the medicines that are under investigation have the potential to benefit,” she said.

She added: “From the outset of the study we have made efforts to ensure that a diverse slate of physicians and researchers are involved, including Black doctors. Our research assistants, who are the primary points of contact for study participants, reflect the diversity of our community, with seven native Spanish speakers and two African Americans.”

Does that put y'all at ease?

So nice to themselves, calling themselves a "community."

Wait a minute.

Commun... ism!

I can see, doc, I can see!

The Globe says just trust the vaccine despite the fine print, and you will need to sign it in blood.

Then get back out in the streets and start destroying cities and towns again:

"Anger over the shooting of a Black man by police in a southeastern Wisconsin city spilled into the streets of Kenosha for a second night Monday, with police once again firing tear gas at hundreds of protesters who defied a curfew, threw bottles and shot fireworks at law enforcement officials guarding the courthouse. Kenosha became the nation's latest flashpoint in a summer of racial unrest after cellphone footage of police shooting Jacob Blake on Sunday around 5 p.m. in broad daylight circulated on social media. The shooting drew condemnation from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who called out 125 members of the National Guard to quell protests. Protesters chanted, “No justice, no peace” as they confronted a line of law enforcement officers who wore protective gear and stood shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the courthouse entrance.

Democrap governor had to call out the Guard, huh?

The latest confrontation came after protesters set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed with officers in riot gear Sunday night over the wounding of 29-year-old Blake, who was hospitalized in serious condition. In a widely seen cellphone video made by an onlooker, Blake was shot, apparently in the back, as he leaned into his SUV while his three children sat in the vehicle. Tensions flared anew earlier Monday after a news conference with Kenosha Mayor John Antarmian, originally to be held in a park, was moved inside the city’s public safety building. Hundreds of protesters rushed to the building and a door was snapped off its hinges before police in riot gear pepper-sprayed the crowd, which included a photographer from The Associated Press. Police in the former auto manufacturing center of 100,000 people midway between Milwaukee and Chicago said they were responding to a call about a domestic dispute. They did not say whether Blake was armed or why police opened fire, they released no details on the domestic dispute, and they did not immediately disclose the race of the three officers at the scene. The man who claimed to have made the video, 22-year-old Raysean White, said that he saw Blake scuffling with three officers and heard them yell, “Drop the knife! Drop the knife!” before the gunfire erupted. He said he didn’t see a knife in Blake’s hands. The governor said that he has seen no information to suggest Blake had a knife or other weapon, but that the case is still being investigated by the state Justice Department.

Nice of him to prejudge the event without information.

The officers were placed on administrative leave, standard practice in a shooting by police. Authorities released no details about the officers or their service records. Evers was quick to condemn the bloodshed, saying that while not all details were known, “what we know for certain is that he is not the first Black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in law enforcement in our state or our country.” Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden called for “an immediate, full and transparent investigation” and said the officers “must be held accountable.”

Perfect way to end the brief since the antifa aggressions are designed to help him and Harris while setting the stage for a heavy-handed police state that we are fast approaching anyway.

"Police in Portland used tear gas early Monday to scatter demonstrators who hurled rocks, bottles and commercial-grade fireworks at officers and set fires in the streets as they marched on a precinct station in another night of violence. Twenty-three people were arrested, police said. Similar protests have gripped Oregon's largest city for months after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Demonstrators who marched Sunday night in Portland chanted the name Jacob Blake, a Black man who was shot in the back Sunday by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Some protesters among a group of about 200 people lit a dumpster on fire and used it as a shield as they approached the precinct station, police said. They threw objects at officers, hitting some positioned on the roof of the station, and lit an awning on fire. One officer suffered a wrist injury after he was hit with a piece of ceramic. The violence that lasted until early Monday came a day after protesters targeted another law enforcement building in Portland. A standoff between marchers and officers took place on a bridge along the way — and the demonstrators retreated. They apparently returned to a park and took cars to the building, where officers were hit with rocks, bottles and other objects, police said....."

Whatever happened to the old-fashioned sit-in?

"About 50 protesters held a sit-in outside a Louisiana city hall Monday after being told they couldn’t go in to file complaints about the way officials handled the fatal shooting of a Black man. The Friday death of Trayford Pellerin, 31, has heightened tensions between protesters and local leaders in Lafayette, a consolidated city and parish of about 244,400 in Louisiana's Cajun country. All officers who were involved in the shooting are on administrative leave — standard procedure after shootings by police — Sgt. Wayne Griffin, a spokesman for city police, said Monday. He said he did not know how many officers were involved. An intercom announcement Monday directed Lafayette Consolidated Government employees not to use the main entrance, where protesters chanted between sessions of silent prayer, The Advocate reported. After a couple of hours, Parish Councilman A.B. Rubin told the group that elected officials had left early to prepare for Tropical Storms Marco and Louise. Mayor-President Josh Guillory said Monday that residents south of Interstate 10 should consider evacuating and those south of U.S. 90 "are strongly encouraged to evacuate” by Tuesday afternoon, The Advertiser reported. Protest organizers said they want Guillory to respond by Tuesday evening to their concerns about the shooting. They also want a police task force including community members created by Sept. 6. “This is urgent,” activist Cory Levier said. Monday was the third straight day of protests against Pellerin's death. Louisiana State Police have said he was carrying a knife and was shot when he tried to enter one convenience store in Lafayette after causing a disturbance at another....."

Marco fizzled, but you guys will have to get up and get moving.

Otherwise we will have to charge you like whitey:

"A federal appeals court on Monday upheld the convictions of two members of a white supremacist group who admitted they punched and kicked counter-demonstrators during the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, but found that part of an anti-riot law used to prosecute them “treads too far upon constitutionally protected speech.” In its ruling, a three-judge panel of the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a challenge to the constitutionality of the entire federal Anti-Riot Act on its face, but the court said the law violates the free speech clause of the First Amendment in some respects. “To be sure, the Anti-Riot Act has a plainly legitimate sweep. The statute validly proscribes not only efforts to engage in such unprotected speech as inciting, instigating, and organizing a riot, but also such unprotected conduct as participating in, carrying on, and committing acts of violence in furtherance of a riot, as well as aiding and abetting any person engaged in such conduct,” Judge Albert Diaz wrote in the 3-0 opinion, “yet, the Anti-Riot Act nonetheless sweeps up a substantial amount of protected advocacy,” Diaz wrote....."

Brave judges indeed, as Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse is a committed ally in the fight for racial justice and has shown it throughout his time in office.

Just don't walk the streets of Brockton:

The perp was later arrested for gun possession after violating coronavirus curfew, who claimed he was simply heading to Maine to shoot bear.

Turns out you can be bit by the love bug again:

"First Documented Coronavirus Reinfection Reported in Hong Kong" by Apoorva Mandavilli, New York Times, August 25, 2020

Of course.

Time to start thinking about a divorce.

A 33-year-old man was infected a second time with the coronavirus more than four months after his first bout, the first documented case of so-called reinfection, researchers in Hong Kong reported Monday.

The finding was not unexpected, especially given the millions of people who have been infected worldwide, experts said, and the man had no symptoms the second time, suggesting that even though the prior exposure did not prevent the reinfection, his immune system kept the virus somewhat in check.

Good Lord, COVID is a COLD!

That is the only explanation for this deceptively worded and filled with qualifiers slop spewing forth from the NYT.

“The second infection was completely asymptomatic — his immune response prevented the disease from getting worse,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University who was not involved with the work but reviewed the report at The New York Times’s request. “It’s kind of a textbook example of how immunity should work.”

The ramifications are huge since it would establish that HERD IMMUNITY has PROBABLY BEEN REACHED WORLDWIDE, and there is no longer a need for masks, distancing, lockdowns, tests, and vaccines!

I think I'm falling in love again!

People who do not have symptoms may still spread the virus to others, however, underscoring the importance of vaccines, Dr. Iwasaki said. In the man’s case, she added, “natural infection created immunity that prevented disease but not reinfection.”

MAY STILL HOWEVER?

“In order to provide herd immunity, a potent vaccine is needed to induce immunity that prevents both reinfection and disease,” Dr. Iwasaki said.

She is a f**king evil liar!

Vaccines never confer herd immunity, and the rate of protection by vaccine is 50% by their own claims.

Abominable bitch.

Doctors have reported several cases of presumed reinfection in the United States and elsewhere, but none of those cases have been confirmed with rigorous testing. Recovered people are known to carry viral fragments for weeks, which can lead to positive test results in the absence of live virus, but the Hong Kong researchers sequenced the virus from both of the man’s infections and found significant differences, suggesting that the patient had been infected a second time.

PRESUMED BUT SUGGESTING?

“I believe this is the first reported case that is confirmed by genome sequencing,” said Dr. Kelvin Kai-Wang To, a clinical microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong.

Was it, because I don't believe the ChiCom!

This fits in way too nicely with the atrocious agenda at the bottom of this.

The study is to be published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. The Times obtained the manuscript from the university. The man’s first case was diagnosed on March 26, and he had only mild symptoms. In accordance with regulations in Hong Kong, he was hospitalized on March 29 even though his symptoms had subsided, and released on April 14 only after he had tested negative for the virus twice.

So no peer review yet, huh? 

Yet the NYT is taking it as gospel fact. 

When wrong again, they won't correct the record or narrative. 

EVIL.

He had no detectable antibodies after that first bout with the virus. He was positive again for the coronavirus on a saliva test on Aug. 15 after a trip to Spain via the United Kingdom; the test was administered at the airport. The man had picked up a strain that was circulating in Europe in July and August, the researchers said.

Wait a minute, HOW MANY STRAINS ARE THERE? 

Isn't COVID-19 a SPECIFIC STRAIN?

His infections were clearly caused by different versions of the coronavirus, Dr. To said: “Our results prove that his second infection is caused by a new virus that he acquired recently, rather than prolonged viral shedding.”

So it has mutated like all coronaviruses, and any vaccine will be ineffective and too late!

Common cold coronaviruses are known to cause reinfections in less than a year, but experts had hoped that the new coronavirus might behave more like its cousins SARS and MERS, which seemed to produce protection lasting a few years.

It’s still unclear how common reinfection from the new coronavirus might be, because few researchers have sequenced the virus from each infection.

This is GARBAGE, and are we one the verge of the second simulation with a COVID/SARS/MERS cocktail that will be far more deadly?!

“We’ve had, what, 23 million cases documented thus far, but the fact that one out of them at this point has been reinfected should not cause undue alarm as of yet,” said Jeffrey Shaman, an epidemiologist at Columbia University in New York, “however, it remains very, very concerning — and this does nothing to dispel that — that we may be subject to repeat infection with this virus,” he said.

The witchdoctor just let the cat out of the bag!

Dr. Iwasaki was more sanguine. She noted that the man had no antibodies after the first infection but produced them after the second exposure. Immunity is expected to build with each exposure to a pathogen exactly in this way, she noted.

“Again, it’s what the textbook says should happen,” she said. “When you have second exposure to the same pathogen, you should elevate the antibody, and that’s what’s happening.”

Most people who are infected with the coronavirus produce detectable antibodies that would be expected to protect against the virus. Even people who had only mild symptoms, including this man, may also have immune “memory” in the form of B and T cells that prevent symptoms on second exposure.

Don't let that get out or the whole plan is blown to bits!

“The majority of patients likely have a cocktail of immune responses that activate on second exposure,” said Brian Wasik, a virologist at Cornell University. “This Hong Kong patient also seems to have been asymptomatic on second infection, perhaps due to some immune response,” but the researchers said it’s also possible that in some people, a second exposure will prove more severe. “It cannot be generalized yet, because there’s still a possibility that the second infection can be worse,” Dr. To said. Building immune memory is not unlike boosting memory of a person, said Dr. Michael Mina, an immunologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Seems to have been, perhaps due to, but also possible, still possibility, worse.

These f**king monsters don't want to give up their total tyranny now that they have had a taste of absolute power.

The initial bout with the new coronavirus is likely to result in “non-sterilizing immunity,” but the virus will elicit a stronger response with each exposure, he said: “It is often these second and third exposures that help to solidify the memory response for the long term.”

Over all, experts said, it’s unclear how often people might become reinfected, and how soon, after a first bout with the virus.

“Those remain open questions, because one person exhibiting a mild reinfection, clearly documented as a distinct strain of the virus, does not provide enough evidence one way or another,” Dr. Shaman said.

For that, the DESTROYED YOUR DREAMS and LIVELIHOODS, and the sick twisted fucks are not done yet!

The Cambridge biotech company has finished talks with the European Commission over a potential agreement, which includes an option for EU member states to purchase an additional 80 million doses, according to a statement Monday. The European Union, the United States, and the UK have led the way in snapping up doses of potential COVID immunizations in advance of knowing which vaccines will work and get across the finish line. The need for a vaccine is rising with the number of global coronavirus deaths surpassing 800,000. Moderna’s final-stage study began on July 27 and enrollment of about 30,000 subjects is on track to be completed in September ,it said. The company is scaling up global manufacturing to be able to deliver about 500 million doses and possibly as many as 1 billion doses per year, beginning in 2021. The commission previously announced preliminary plans to secure hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines being developedby the likes of Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca with the University of Oxford, Sanofi and partner GlaxoSmithKline, as well as CureVac NV."
