"That may be true, but her motivation is more likely re-election. Abortion is popular with the voters she needs."

yep. really stupid for conservatives to get into an abortion fight just before a really important election, when the dims were already on the ropes. it's almost like some republicans don't really want to win the election at all. smart of the dims to try to divide us though.

like Lindy said, 'give us a good OTC morning after pill, and the issue mostly goes away on its own'.

Avast, Ye Swabs!

Claudio Giorlandino is an Italian gynecologist and obstetrician. In the following clip from a TV talk show, Dr. Giorlandino discusses the increase in the number of Wuhan Coronavirus infections after the Green Pass policy was fully implemented. If I understand the good doctor correctly, he maintains that the imposition of the Green Pass induced citizens to take a swab test for COVID in order to get a pass. The pass gave them a false sense of confidence that they were safe, so they went around doing things that they would otherwise have been unable to do — go to clubs and restaurants, attend public events, etc. As a result, they inadvertently caused a surge of contagion.

It’s an interesting theory, but I have no idea whether it’s true.

Video transcript:

00:00 Dr. Giorlandino, I guess all media and influential members of the Scientific Committee
00:06 are starting to say that the quick swab doesn’t work that well.
00:10 They say it is not that safe; it has a big margin of error.
00:14 And basically not really suitable to get the Green Pass.
00:24 I have been saying for a long time that we had already got out
00:29 of the pandemic situation, and that was so evident to many.
00:33 We had totally got out of the pandemic.
00:37 If we want to see some charts about the infection curve, we can see that
00:41 in last May all of Europe had just got out of the pandemic.
00:45 Can you see? Then, all of a sudden it reappeared.
00:48 No we can’t. —I should have explained to you that
00:51 you are supposed to send us your charts in advance.
00:54 Because despite our efforts to do our best, we cannot see your charts from here.
01:01 I did send them to you. —He did send them? We haven’t elaborated them, then.
01:06 Let’s carry on; we had already showed them, though. It’s all right, I was saying that
01:09 we were out the pandemic. Everyone knows that, we were out.
01:12 Then, all of a sudden on July 1, Europe stated the necessity for a Green Pass.
01:20 And fifteen days later, the pandemic was back again.
01:23 I am not blaming the Green Pass. I am blaming the effects of the Green Pass.
01:27 It has generated a mad run to get quick swabs.
01:30 Swab sales have been skyrocketing in all of Europe.
01:34 And although we know that in July there are no viral infections,
01:38 the infection curve rose again everywhere, seven or ten days later.
01:42 It rose again dramatically. And Israelis were the first to realize that.
01:46 So you are not saying that the rise in infections is due to the rise of swab screening.
01:51 What you are saying is that we all had a false sense of protection after the swab, right?
01:55 No, I am saying more people got ill!
01:58 What? —Yes, they got ill because they went everywhere.
02:04 The false sense of safety that vaccination gave us
02:08 made us behave carelessly, and the contagion has been somehow reactivated.
02:12 Yes, in my opinion we should have avoided all that.
02:15 We should have avoided the Green Pass and mandatory swabs, and waited for the pandemic to end.
02:20 The pandemic was about to end because people used to shield themselves.
02:23 A quick swab has a big margin of error according to medicine,
02:28 which is based on scientific evidence.
02:32 I have heard talk about science today: scientists do not agree on everything, let that be clear.
02:37 Cochrane says that the medicine based on evidence can be mistaken eight times out of ten.
02:45 Whoever has a swab done feels psychologically safe and will behave carelessly.
02:52 And that is why the contagion broke out again, all of a sudden.
02:55 Italy underwent a second violent contagion rise, after October 15,
03:00 as soon as the Green Pass became mandatory for workers.
03:04 A new run to the quick swabs, and so another rise of infections.
03:10 The first thing we ought to do is to avoid being infected.
03:15 So professor Giorlandino is saying that whenever we turned to quick swabs, the situation got worse.
03:18 Regardless of how many people got vaccinated?
03:21 I am not the one who said that, I am just an observer.
03:25 We should have an overall view of the problem, not a particular one.
03:30 In order to have an overall view of the problem,
03:34 we ought to observe what happens with the infections curve.
03:38 So today the Green Pass is granted to… —I beg your pardon?
03:42 So the Green Pass is granted to the vaccinated, to the recovered,
03:47 and to those workers who have just a molecular swab done.
03:53 Medical casuistry states that the recovered are the only people
03:59 who will not infect anyone and who cannot be infected again, unless in a mild form.
04:06 If you have read “The Betrothed”, do you recall who the Monatti were?
04:14 They were the recovered. —In your opinion whoever got measles, can get it twice?
04:20 But now we have the vaccination, thank God.
04:23 Well, it turns out that vaccination is not actually the cause, and it’s not me who said that.
04:29 Unlike other parts of the world, we can see we have a different situation now,
04:33 because we have had so many people who recovered.
04:37 But that cannot be a solution because I haven’t got Covid yet.
04:43 I am going to get the third vaccine dose, I need to be sure I will be safe.
04:47 Of course, I am not one of those who criticize any vaccine, I just criticize this vaccine.
04:56 Because this vaccine is made with a spike protein that does not exist anymore.
04:59 As for France, I am going to be brief.
05:05 Please, be brief, I need to ask Morani and Longhini too.
05:09 I beg your pardon, yesterday in France they had 95,000 new cases, we had only 6,000.
05:17 France has as many inhabitants as Italy, but they have had a complete vaccination campaign.
05:22 Same as in Germany. In Spain they have had double ours,
05:27 as for new cases and with a higher vaccination rate, you see?
05:32 As you can see, the vaccine does not protect, unfortunately.
05:35 I am not saying that we should not be vaccinated, pay attention.
05:39 Excuse me, saying that the vaccine doesn’t protect is too much.
05:42 Let’s listen to Morani and Longhini. —But look at the data, please!
05:46 But look at the data! It is not me who says that. For God’s sake! Look at the data, please.
05:51 We should have used another vaccine instead.
05:54 Hold on a moment, let Morani and Longhini respond, please.
05:57 It’s the data, it is not me who wants to state that.
06:01 The vaccine does not protect any more in Europe.
