A federal judge on Sunday denied a request to stop Indiana University from requiring students to receive Covid-19 vaccinations before returning to campus for the fall semester.
“Recognizing the students’ significant liberty to refuse unwanted medical treatment, the Fourteenth Amendment permits Indiana University to pursue a reasonable and due process of vaccination in the legitimate interest of public health for its students, faculty, and staff,” Judge Damon Leichty wrote in the 101-page ruling.

The blogmaster has waited patiently until the discussion reached what is currently being debated, should vaccinations be mandatory for certain jobs, should being vaccinated be mandatory to attend certain functions AND should the wearing of a mask in public spaces be mandatory.
The business class in Barbados has started the lobby to make being vaccinated mandatory because the stop start approach after 18 months of businesses being batten down is now deemed to be unsustainable. It is now a case where the right of the collective is greater than observing the personal liberty of the few.
In is already happening in the USA and UK, why not here?
In a related matter the following was submitted by social commentator Kammie Holder:

This is so damn true as the virus size and the cloth mask unless thick and well woven will allow the virus to freely pass through. You can google independent research on virus size and cotton and polyester fibre size to come to your own conclusion. Many of the masks sold in Barbados are knockoffs. I wear a respirator and many laugh but it filters down to particulate matter as small as 2.5 microns.
The N95 mask filters out 95% of particles greater than 0.3 microns in diameter. On the other hand, the PM2. 5 masks filter out particles measuring 2.5 micrometers (2.5 microns) or larger. Hope you can use info to help persons make informed decisions as to blindly follow the experts may lead to doom, I trust the science but not all the scientists. The WHO has a credibility issue in the way they have handled this outbreak and failure to mitigate risk
would it be right to refuse people medical treatment if they are not vaccinated, could hookers ask for a vaccination passport asking for a friend.

LONDON, July 19 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s ‘freedom day’ ending over a year of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in England was marred on Monday by surging infections, warnings of supermarket shortages and his own forced self-isolation.
One guess why the DOW dipped 2% today?
@ David,
” Little England” will do like the mother country.
A lot of people are fed up with the lock downs and are out shopping and partying.

In real terms a virus can fit on the end of a needle with nuff room to spare.
This is equivolent in scale to a human stamding on a soccer field, in relative terms.
More generally, and althouth this writer has long taken the Pfizer vaccine, all be it reluctantly, we remain concerned given the history of Pfizer, in particular, and all the other leanding big pharma companies as allied with the US goverment, and the CIA more specifically, in the development of biological warfare projects against Afrikan peoples as a Sangerist population control methodology supprtive of a central White supremacy strategy. Also their perceived enemies, other White countries as well with leaders refusing to take dictation from Washington.
The literature seems to suggest that viruses can be tailored to act against people with certain genetic characteristics.
The reluctance of wide ranges of White populations to not take the vaccines and their growing resistance to containment measures is well noted. Maybe this is best understood within a wider frame – the dominant geopolitics of our times.
@Pacha
We have the usual distrust of government and Big Pharma interacting with the need to protect our health and love ones. We are in a right pickle.

“could hookers ask for a vaccination passport asking for a friend.”

David
Never a truer word spoken.
And we have hard evidence
For example, the third or fourth cause of death in the USA is medical error.
They blame doctors and nurses but our suspicion is Big Pharma again.
All these big countries have to do is hire some water experts from Singapore and do what they say.
Facts!

If any country is serious about solving their COVID problem, look at some countries which have solved their problem (or never had one) and see what they are doing right and what advantages they have going for them.
It is called the common sense approach.
Dominica – Never had a problem
Samoa – Never had a problem
Vanuatu – Never had a problem
New Zealand – Fixed their problem
Singapore – Fixed their problem
Australia – Fixed their problem
Dominica has to be at the top because it allows travel whereas neither Samoa nor Vanuatu do.
That’s the one you will learn the most from.
Start by assuming people are smart enough the world over to practice masking up, social distancing, quarantining etc and then ask what separates these countries listed above from all others with a problem which seem unable to fix their problem.
You will arrive at the same conclusions I have been discussing now for months.
I am not saying there may be more to what I suggest, but the more I look at the numbers the more I like my position.
Johnny
Only the Singaporean water is free of Covid? LOL
Johnny
You are proof positive that common sense is not at all common.
Johnny
Your cpnclusion is water, covid in the water systems, right?
Sometimes it is there in the water, sometimes it isn’t.
When it is present, sometimes people consume the water containing it and sometimes they don’t.
It is a matter of probabilities.
For countries who can get the probability of its presence in the water to zero or close enough, there are no successive waves.
Those countries which can get the net probability to zero either have good quality control in the production process for their water or have their water source separated from contact with COVID sources …. or their citizens don’t drink the water without boiling it.
This explanation fits the observable facts dead on.
Possibly there are other explanations but most Governments only seem capable of countenancing one, their citizens’ misbehaviour.
When their directives fail to prevent successive waves they are incapable of accepting they may be wrong and there is/are other mechanisms of spread.
Then there is the inflow of cold air a once in a century event!!
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2020GH000277
The point is if all Governments can do is order lockdowns and prosecute its citizens for not wearing masks, it would seem as though COVID is never going to go away!!
How many comments are you going to post to suggest it is the water? We get it.

A man like you purporting to be an “unscholar” should known that the references to statistical methods at 03:50 are contrary to both theoretical frameworks and praxis.
I have not used the words statistics or statistical methods!!
But I would love to hear your explanation of why.
@ David Bu at 8:52 Pm of July 19th.
It appears that Singapore has learnt another fundamental lesson from “failed state Barbados” wrt to contagion control.Had we not lose focus our periodic spikes would have been minimal. But what can one do with self doubt and adherence to the democratic process.?
@Vincent
We need to exercise greater discipline at individual and government level.
@ David BU at 10 :58 AM
I agree. But we have not done too badly given the volatile parameters within which we have to operate.
Lawson…we will ban you from Barbados.
Keep lying and blaming the population on the island…..the same UK tourists will soon be telling yall that they do not have to wear masks in UK anymore….and you can’t make them wear masks in Barbados….
“The Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA) is convinced that its members are not among the businesses responsible for breaches of COVID-19 protocols that have led to recent spikes in cases.
As arrivals from major source markets gradually increase, Chief Executive Officer of the BHTA, Senator Rudy Grant is calling for greater enforcement within communities to keep the situation under control.”
lawyers again, always believe they are above the law…they need to catch hold of the other high profile pedophiles and rapists who have blighted and destroyed lives with their sex lust ACROSS Caribbean islands for decades..using their positions of power…

“In sentencing Brandt to prison, Justice Stanley John said that because the charges were so “aggravated” and that Brandt had used his position, most notably as a senior lawyer here, a wealthy person and a former chief minister, he was adding 18 months to the seven- and nine-year sentences that had been imposed on the sexual charges.
On the five of the six counts of sexual exploitation, Brandt was given jail terms of nine years while on the sixth count he was jailed for seven years.
On the charge of perverting the course of justice, Brandt, who is in his 70’s, was jailed for 15 years. The sentences are to run concurrently
In passing sentence, Justice John said that while there were some mitigating factors before the Court, the aggravated nature of the charges far outweighed them”
Has anyone suggested it might be in the water????
Waru you dont even live on the island arent you running a kennel in the USA ,
‘Australia – Fixed their problem’
Hahaha. Australia never fixed any problem. They are now into lock down in several cities.

How many cases, what cities?

Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquinone are available to treat worst cases.
Minimal deaths for a year.
https://www.biospectrumasia.com/news/47/16577/australia-shares-low-dose-ivermectin-therapy-protocol-for-covid-19.html
So Australia has fixed its problem.
Any increase in cases has been met with lockdowns where applicable.
Deaths remain insignificant.

Note that the allopathic doctors and critical care specialists who joined together to form the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance, to research and propose effective treatment options for Covid-19 (instead of just waiting around until the undertested, very expensive, new-technology, gene therapy vaccines were released before long-term testing was completed under Emergency Use Authorizations) have high dosage, intravenous vitamin C (AKA Ascorbic Acid) as an integral part of their MATH+ protocol for treating severe Covid-19 cases.

Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Senator Lisa Cummins, gave this outlook for the tourism industry for the remainder of 2021, as she delivered an in depth overview of the tourism industry at a ‘State of the Industry’ media briefing, this morning at the Hilton Barbados Resort.

FYI: Note that America’s Frontline Doctors and the Frontline Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance both have “Frontline” in their names but are two completely separate and independent bodies of physicians in the USA.
I think it fair to say, though, that both organizations believe that there are now safe and effective treatment options available for use on Covid-19 patients using nutritional support and/or existing, safe, affordable, repurposed drugs. Of course, if the pharma-medical-industrial-complex admitted that fact, it would destroy the case for granting Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) to allow for administering millions of doses of the expensive, new-technology, gene therapy vaccines prior to completion of the normal, multi-year, vaccine testing regime (not scheduled to be completed until 2023). EUAs granting a bypass of normal safety testing for new drugs or vaccines are not allowed under US law if other recognized methods of treatment are available to treat the sick.

Let me say I am pro vaccine. However, I am puzzled by the indication that a third dose may be needed and even scientist are concerned about the impact this may have on.
In addition, persons who opt to wait out taking the vaccine at this time are more at danger from those who are fully vaccinated that could infect them.
Should isolated tribes in Africa and elsewhere be vaccinated? Pfizer, profits are over the moon and it’s one of the least charitable pharma, and it’s pricing is discriminatory and exorbitant according to country.
Why are we not hearing about the nasal sprays that can attack the virus before it gets into the lungs?
What about the ongoing research by world renowned researchers on mineral diets that boost ones response to the virus?
THE 24HR NEWS CYCLE CAN CREATE, MAYHEM, HYSTERIA, CONFUSION, DOUBT, APATHY,FEAR, WARS, HOPE ETC. A social drug is what the media is.
Go and get your vaccine.
@David on another, why have the mainstream media not touch on the illegal wiretapping that takes place in Barbados. There was no need to tap my phones in the past without the consent of a judge and who will hold those who break the law accountable? The illegal wiretapping of the ordinary citizen phone needs to stop. Inspector Bowen, opted never to ever use again after the widespread tapping of cellphones in Barbados was discovered.
I was hoping the man would have taken back his equipment after it took so long to pay him.
@Kammie
What ever happened with that cellphone mystery back in 2012 that occurred during the Alexandra School Inquiry?
https://barbadosunderground.net/2012/08/17/jeff-broomes-to-hal-gollop-hello/
David, unfortunately in our small society a protective class among the brothers exis. Its optics for public consumption and mind games. Mainstream media is compromised and so are many in powerful and influential positions.
