The new stand-up special, launching on @netflix 25 December.
Utterly Disgusted at this! He’s gonna lose a lot of fans from this. Everyone is entitled to their own views but in his influential position he is responsible for influencing so many and his polarised views completely to one side, Alienate so many… Using his influential position to follow science and common sense in getting a six month jab not dissimilar to Tia flu jab? He’ll survive.
Natural immunity works quite well but you have to actually survive it first. Pretty much all currently hospitalized covid patients are unvaccinated
99.997% survival rate, and that’s not including undiagnosed cases.
Average morbidity age of 83. I’ll take my chances
#physiognomy
I had it in January, the most I’ve ever been, my breathing and the sense of fatigue are still not back to normal. If I could have had a vaccine, I would’ve made it more like the flu… I would’ve. Mortality rates are not the reason to have the vaccine. Natural immunity is just as good, if not better, than vaccination. This has been shown in Israel. 3 Jabs in less than a year and already planning 4… Flu jab is yearly and not in trials #JustSaying
The jab that has had lower efficacy than claimed, the jab that has more side effects than any prior vaccine, that jab.
Developed in 6 months and still in trial till 2023. You think science shows everyone needs to take the covid vaccine? You think science doesn’t show that in rare circumstances vaccines have life changing side effects including death? So, when crossing the street, I’m saying that if you’ve no medical reason not to take an MRNA vaccine, which your body breaks down within six months, in a similar time frame to a seasonal flu jab, then you’re clearly just being a contrary obstinate knob. But that’s just me. In deadly pandemics, the unvaccinated are the most likely to die. As is true today. Seems those most offended probably aren’t long for this Earth anyway. To be fair, if those fans aren’t getting the vaccine, they’re probably not making it to his next shows anyway. The only place they’ll be going is here.
Hard Awarded… posthumously. (reddit.com)
Anyone refusing the vaccine on personal grounds is literally endangering lives and a detriment to society. See the thing is he’s not. The anti-vaxx crowd is a very small minority. False about 50/50
They think they speak for everyone and they are going to rise up and change the vaccine mandates but they’re not. Everyone is entitled to their own views but not everyone is right. The vaccines are far, far safer than some of the shit some people pump in their bodies & have the benefit of protecting against serious illness & protecting others from that too.
Polarizing only if you’re wrong.
Anyone below 65 with less than 3 comorbidities has around 1 in 100,000 chances of dying from covid. You mean the ones who don’t take the vaccine and die?
Anyway, he’ll probably be consoled that the IQ of his audience will shoot up.
The fans he’s going to lose are the ones that are vaccinated and get C0\/ID.
The unvaccinated will happily walk around slapping the shit out of them.
I think the jab is proving dangerous, and telling people they are stupid for being apprehensive is arrogant.
He should be held personally responsible for the inevitable adverse events that result from his ridicule and public humiliation of someone who thinks rather than mindlessly follows

COVID patient left for ‘dead’ recovers after court forces hospital to allow ivermectin treatment. On Thanksgiving weekend, Sun Ng, a 71-year-old man who spent 22 days on a ventilator with COVID-19, was discharged following a court-mandated successful treatment cycle of ivermectin.

NAPERVILLE, Illinois (LifeSiteNews) — An elderly, critically-ill COVID patient who was repeatedly denied ivermectin has made a full recovery after a court ordered the hospital to treat him with the potentially life-saving drug.
On Thanksgiving weekend, Sun Ng, a 71-year-old man who spent 22 days on a ventilator with COVID-19, was discharged from Edward Hospital in Naperville, Illinois, following a successful treatment cycle of ivermectin. Despite the drug’s efficacy, the hospital had only agreed to the use of the drug after Ng’s daughter, Dr. Man Kwan Ng, obtained a court order mandating their compliance.
According to a press release distributed on behalf of Mauck & Baker law firm in Chicago, the court-ordered ivermectin treatment was given to Ng for five days, November 8 through November 12, and he was discharged on November 27, having fully recovered.
“My father’s recovery is amazing,” shared Dr. Man Kwan Ng in the release.
“My father is a tough man. He was working so hard to survive, and of course, with God’s holding hands. He weaned off oxygen about three days after moving out of the ICU. He started oral feeding before hospital discharge. He returned home without carrying a bottle of oxygen and a feeding tube installed to his stomach. He can now stand with a walker at the bedside and practice stepping. After being sedated for a month on a ventilator in ICU, his performance is beyond our expectations. Praise the Lord.”
As previously reported by LifeSiteNews, the process of getting Ng ivermectin was not seamless, even with a court order. On Friday, November 5, Judge Paul Fullerton of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit Court in DuPage County, Illinois, had granted Dr. Alan Bain access to the hospital for the purposes of administering the drug to Ng. Despite the court’s decision, the hospital refused Bain entry on the grounds that he was not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Following this, “An Emergency Report was filed with the court first thing on Monday morning, November 8, recounting the weekend’s events. After brief argument from both parties, Judge Fullerton admonished Edward Hospital’s representatives and restated that he ordered them to let Dr. Bain in on Friday, and that the hospital must let Dr. Bain in.”
Finally, the hospital complied with the judge’s request, and Bain was granted access to the facility.
In the spirit of thanksgiving, Ng’s daughter stated of the events, “Our family especially thanks Judge Paul Fullerton. Without him, we couldn’t bring my father home and couldn’t see him smile at us again. We also gratefully thank our attorneys, Ralph C. Lorigo and Mauck & Baker, LLC, for the entire legal process and fighting for my father’s rights. We also sincerely thank Dr. Alan Bain for walking along with us and his administration of Ivermectin to my father. We also want to say thank you to the doctors and nurses in the hospital. I saw the caring of the nurses when I stayed at the bedside with my father.”
In spite of mainstream media and other pro-vaccine entities misleadingly labelling ivermectin “horse dewormer,” several studies have shown that the widely-used generic drug has virtually no risk of serious side effects and can be effective against COVID-19.
While federal regulators and drug makers have nevertheless aggressively suppressed the medication, various leading experts like Dr. Peter McCollough, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, Dr. Robert Malone and the 12,700 doctors and scientists who signed the Rome Declaration have endorsed it as a COVID treatment.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said “we should assume” the variant is spreading in the city.
Colorado also reported a case caused by the new variant, in a woman who had visited South Africa. Worldwide, omicron continued its spread, including in India, Singapore, South Korea, Greece, Finland and Ghana.
President Joe Biden called on health providers to expand the availability of vaccines and booster shots, aiming to combat a winter surge of infections — and hold off the omicron variant.
Germany imposed stringent nationwide restrictions on people who aren’t vaccinated to halt a surge in infections. Lawmakers are considering a national vaccine mandate.

Illinois’s one-day Covid-19 case count nearly doubled, according to data reported Thursday on the state department of public health website. The state reported 11,524 probable and confirmed cases on Thursday, up from 6,119 the day before and the highest number since December 2020. The jump in cases is accompanied by “a record high number of tests across the entire pandemic” and a higher test positivity rate, according to an emailed statement from the Illinois Department of Public Health.
“Thanksgiving was one week ago and we are starting to see cases associated with family gatherings and travel,” according to the statement.
N.Y. Cases Surge; Hospitals Under Strain (3:42 p.m. NY)

The Power of Vulnerability by Brené Brown [Motivational Speech – 2013]
In this inspiring and vibrant speech, Brené Brown explains the power of vulnerability.
She uncovers the reasons behind our shame and fear of not being worthy of connections highlighting the importance of beliefs.

Full Transcript & Audio of The Power of Vulnerability by Brené Brown, Motivational Speech…
So where I started was with connection. Because, by the time you’re a social worker for 10 years, what you realize is that connection is why we’re here.
It’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. This is what it’s all about.
It doesn’t matter whether you talk to people who work in social justice and mental health and abuse and neglect, what we know is that connection, the ability to feel connected, is — neurobiologically that’s how we’re wired — it’s why we’re here.
So I thought, you know what, I’m going to start with connection. Well, you know that situation where you get an evaluation from your boss, and she tells you 37 things you do really awesome, and one thing — an “opportunity for growth?” And all you can think about is that opportunity for growth, right? Well, apparently this is the way my work went as well, because, when you ask people about love, they tell you about heartbreak. When you ask people about belonging, they’ll tell you their most excruciating experiences of being excluded. And when you ask people about connection, the stories they told me were about disconnection.
Shame
So very quickly — really about six weeks into this research — I ran into this unnamed thing that absolutely unraveled connection in a way that I didn’t understand or had never seen. And so I pulled back out of the research and thought, I need to figure out what this is. And it turned out to be a shame.
And shame is really easily understood as the fear of disconnection: Is there something about me that, if other people know it or see it, that I won’t be worthy of connection? The things I can tell you about it: it’s universal; we all have it. The only people who don’t experience shame have no capacity for human empathy or connection. No one wants to talk about it, and the less you talk about it the more you have it. What underpinned this shame, this “I’m not good enough,” — which we all know that feeling: “I’m not blank enough. I’m not thin enough, rich enough, beautiful enough, smart enough, promoted enough.” The thing that underpinned this was excruciating vulnerability, this idea of, in order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen, really seen.
And you know how I feel about vulnerability. I hate vulnerability. And so I thought, this is my chance to beat it back with my measuring stick. I’m going in, I’m going to figure this stuff out.
I’m going to spend a year, I’m going to totally deconstruct shame,
I’m going to understand how vulnerability works, and I’m going to outsmart it. So, I was ready, and I was really excited. As you know, it’s not going to turn out well. You know this. So, I could tell you a lot about shame, but I’d have to borrow everyone else’s time. But here’s what I can tell you that it boils down to — and this may be one of the most important things that I’ve ever learned in the decade of doing this research. My one year turned into six years: thousands of stories, hundreds of long interviews, focus groups. At one point, people were sending me journal pages and sending me their stories — thousands of pieces of data in six years.
And I kind of got a handle on it.
I kind of understood, this is what shame is, this is how it works. I wrote a book, I published a theory, but something was not okay — and what it was is that, if I roughly took the people I interviewed and divided them into people who really have a sense of worthiness — that’s what this comes down to, a sense of worthiness — they have a strong sense of love and belonging — and folks who struggle for it, and folks who are always wondering if they’re good enough. There was only one variable that separated the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging and the people who really struggle for it. And that was, the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they’re worthy of love and belonging. That’s it. They believe they’re worthy. And to me, the hard part of the one thing that keeps us out of connection is our fear that we’re not worthy of connection, was something that, personally and professionally, I felt like I needed to understand better. So what I did is I took all of the interviews where I saw worthiness, where I saw people living that way, and just looked at those.
Brené Brown explores the importance of precisely naming our feelings in her new book, <i>Atlas of the Heart</i>, out Nov. 30. Credit – Chris Pizzello—AP
Out of 7000 recipients only 3 emotions they experience:
1. Sad 2. Happy 3. Anger
But What about disappointment, despair, frustration & hopelessness etc.
Why is it that people are quick to say they’re jealous of someone, but will not admit to being envious? What’s the difference between shame and guilt? Is feeling hopeless the same as feeling despair? These are the questions that Brené Brown, the sociology professor turned best-selling author and leadership consultant, tries to answer in her new book, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience, out Nov. 30.
While these may seem like trivial taxonomic questions to some, Brown believes the ability to precisely name feelings is a crucial skill, especially in days of division. “If we want to find the way back to ourselves and one another, we need language,” she writes, “and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories and to be stewards of the stories that we hear.”
In surveys taken by 7,000 people over five years, Brown and her team found that on average people can identify only three emotions as they are actually feeling them: happiness, sadness and anger. For Brown, who made her name by illuminating the finer contours of humans’ emotional landscape, this is not nearly enough. So, in Atlas of the Heart, she sets out to map 87 different emotions, pointing out the distinguishing features of each.
The difference between guilt and shame, for example, as fans of Brown already know from her wildly popular Ted talks, her five previous No. 1 best sellers and her Netflix lecture series, is that guilt tells people they did something bad while shame tells people they are something bad. The difference between envy and jealousy is that envy materializes when one wants something somebody else has—looks, status and wealth are the big trio—while jealousy is the feeling that a relationship is being threatened. Hopelessness is a fleeting fear that a task is too difficult, and despair is a feeling that life is too difficult. And so on.
As a potential cartographer for the human experience, Brown is a solid candidate.
She’s the Dr. Fauci of feelings; she can take complex subjects that require years of study and explain them in a comprehensible and reassuring way. But unlike America’s most famous public health official, Brown has the freedom to be much more of a sharer.
In Atlas of the Heart, she frequently flicks at her personal biography, using her own life as a source of exposition. Brown mentions in passing that she came from a dysfunctional but high-performing family, and that she’s a recovered alcoholic, a committed swimmer, a former waitress, resentful, a perfectionist and prone to comparison, among other things.
She even takes her own oft-given advice and gets vulnerable, admitting to having made a mistake in her previous work. “For two decades, I’ve said, ‘We need to understand emotion so we can recognize it in ourselves and others,’” she writes. “Well, let me go on the record right now: I no longer believe that we can recognize emotion in other people, regardless of how well we understand human emotion and experience or how much language we have.” This is not to dismiss psychotherapy (we presume), but to encourage people to talk about what they’re going through rather than expecting others to know—and to listen, rather than guess.
This formula, very human life + very rigorous research, has powered Brown’s work for 20 years, since the Ted Talk that made her famous. Brown wants people to “lean in” to their feelings, but she also wants to make it fun. (Last time I wrote about the author, we conducted part of the interview on swings in a park, at her request.)
In Atlas of the Heart, the 87 emotions she describes are gathered into 13 land masses, each labeled as a destination: “Places We Go When We Compare,” for example, or “Places We Go When It’s Beyond Us.”
Comic-book-style illustrations are peppered throughout. And Brown introduces—or tries to popularize—new concepts. “Story-stewardship” is when somebody explains their problem and the listener neither dismisses nor tries to immediately solve their issue. “Near enemies” are similar to misapprehensions; when a response to a situation looks like the appropriate one but actually makes that situation worse. Pity is the near enemy of compassion, while sentimentality is the near enemy of loving kindness.
The book, sold to HBO Max as an unscripted series even before it was published, is her most reader-friendly yet—but it may also be her thinnest. Explaining 87 emotions, exploring the research around them, suggesting responses and encouraging people to examine themselves, all in an easy-to-digest 300 pages—it’s a tall order. And readers can feel the stretch marks. A large portion of the book is oversize quotes, and there are some less-than-persuasive sections. Isn’t “bittersweet” self-explanatory?
What is “irony” doing in a list of emotions?
