Playhouse Square will require theatergoers to be fully vaccinated or test negative for COVID

 

At cleveland.com: "Playhouse Square will require theatergoers to be fully vaccinated or test negative for COVID":

Theatergoers will have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or show proof of a recent negative test in order to attend shows at Playhouse Square. The new policy, issued on top of the existing mask mandate for all audience members regardless of vaccination status, goes into effect on September 30.

“From the momentum we have created with the successful run of ‘The Choir of Man,’ we are building toward full-capacity performances for the return of Broadway, our beloved resident companies, concerts and comedy shows,” said Playhouse Square President & CEO Gina Vernaci in a press release. “We are all eager to enjoy live performances together again; the vaccination requirement being enacted by Playhouse Square and venues across the country enables us to maintain our forward motion responsibly.”

The new protocols are similar to the measures currently being enforced on Broadway in New York City. The Cleveland Orchestra and Cleveland Pops Orchestra announced the same requirements starting on Sept. 15. . . .

Key phrase: “measures currently being enforced.” Full report is here. 

Will you comply?  Where do you draw your line?  Our household has tickets for performances postponed in 2020 because of the lockdowns.  We will be turning in those tickets for a tax credit.

Is it responsible to require proof of having had a dangerous experimental gene therapyinjection in order to be seated?  Showing proof of a negative test for COVID essentially validates rules that do not follow science and are merely political theater.  Sad.  And scary.  And it’s here in Cleveland.

Your COVID-19 vaccine mandate updates

 

Andrea Widburg, a/k/a Bookworm Room, has an report at American Thinker --   “Australia proves why socialized medicine is so dangerous.” Here’s an extract:

Australia didn't slowly turn into a totalitarian nation.  It became one overnight, thanks to the people's willingness to accept their governments' hysterical reaction to COVID.  We've all watched in horror as a once free country now confines people to their homes, forces injections on their children, turns unmasked people into "most wanted" outlaws, shoots dogs, and prepares to track people's every movement with apps backed by police power.  The latest craziness in Victoria is to deny health care to people who resist getting the vaccination.

As a preliminary point to any discussion about vaccine mandates, it's incumbent upon me to note that Israel, the most heavily vaccinated country in the world, is being overwhelmed by the delta variant and has the highest infection rate in the world.  Last week, the country said people needed a third shot.  This week, it's saying that people must take a fourth shot and, indeed, must be perpetually vaccinated to survive COVID mutations.

It's easy to liken the vaccination to a flu shot, but it's actually worse than a flu shot.  The annual flu shot gives people some immunity against the annual flu, which is a slightly different virus every time.  Getting a flu shot in one year does not have any effect on your resistance or vulnerability to the flu in subsequent years.  However, it seems that the COVID vaccines increase people's vulnerabilities to future COVID variants.  Thanks to the vaccine, they're on an endless treadmill of booster shots, all of which come with an unusually high number of severe side-effects.  (The AP challenges the claim that COVID shots actually make people more vulnerable to variants, but it's worth noting that the research results the AP cites don't recognize the facts on the ground in Israel.)

Suffice it to say that the vaccine remains a contentious matter, with many people legitimately fearing that not only won't it prevent COVID, but it may worsen their vulnerability. . . .

Read the rest here.  And mandatory vaccines are already in our backyard.  Dr. Joseph Mercola reports at NOQ (“The Great Reset Demands Firing All Unvaccinated Employees”):

Even before the FDA announced their approval of the Pfizer vaccine, Cincinnati, Ohio, area hospital systems had announced that starting October 1, 2021, all health care workers and volunteers are required to be vaccinated. Among those participating in the vaccine mandate are the University of Cincinnati Health, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the Christ Hospital Health Network.

Health care workers in Cincinnati have now filed a lawsuit against six of the hospital systems saying requiring vaccines for employment is unlawful and violates workers’ Constitutional rights. The lawsuit says, “When there was no vaccine, the workers had to go to work. They were heroes. Now that there is a vaccine, they have to get the vaccine or be fired. Now they are ‘zeros.’”

April Hoskins is a lab assistant at St. Elizabeth Edgewood who has worked for 20 years in family practice and hospital oncology. She told a reporter from WLWT5,42 “You’ve trusted us this whole time to take care of these patients, unvaccinated, without the proper PPE. And now out of nowhere, you have to get it or you’re going to be terminated? Like, something is wrong with that picture.”

The rest of Dr. Mercola’s article – including footnoted sources for the above extract – is here.

More from Sundance:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is continually under blistering attack from those who exploit the politics of COVID-19 without regard for health or safety.  However, as you will see below in comments delivered today by DeSantis and previous (non-criticized) opinion from the U.K. Vaccinologist in Great Britain, Sir Andrew Pollard, what the Florida governor is doing is EXACTLY what the Director of the U.K. Oxford Vaccine Group has recommended for all world leaders.

Evidence around the world is showing that vaccination will not stop the spread of COVID-19, and it will, as a result of a vaccinated approach, continually mutate into ever-changing variants.

Vaccinated persons and non-vaccinated persons can equally be exposed, equally be infected, and equally carry the virus and all the variants therein.  Thus the value of making a distinction between vaccinated and non-vaccinated persons, as determined by any policy that requires proof of vaccine, is -in fact- futile.  Vaccine passports are an exercise in manipulative political theater.

CDC: wear your mask over the Labor Day weekend

 

Hannah Bleau at Breitbart News:

CDC Tells Americans to Wear Masks over Labor Day Weekend

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidance to Americans ahead of Labor Day advising them to get vaccinated and wear a mask in indoor areas if they are in places of high transmission.

“Celebrate this #LaborDay safely. Get vaccinated against #COVID19. Everyone—even vaccinated people—in areas with a substantial or high level of community spread should #WearAMask indoors in public,” the federal health agency advised in a Friday tweet, before proceeding to advise unvaccinated people to get the jab and wear a mask in certain outdoor situations:

The CDC did not mention a recent study, as Breitbart News reported, which found masks are only able to filter roughly ten percent of exhaled aerosols

. . .

Another order for Americans to wear masks and get the jab.  Remember General Anthony McAuliffe during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. McAuliffe is celebrated for his one-word reply to a German surrender ultimatum: "Nuts!"

The AMA doesn’t want you to take ivermectin for COVID

 

The American Medical Association parades its corruption: “AMA Calls for the Immediate End to Use of Ivermectin.”  Well, there is no money in it for the FDC or the NIH or the CDC.  Ivermectin is readily available – and in dosages for humans as opposed to the scare headlines about its use to fight off parasites in livestock.   Peter Sullivan at The Hill:

The American Medical Association (AMA) is calling for the "immediate end" to the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19, and for doctors to stop prescribing it for that purpose, amid a spike in the use of the drug. 

Ivermectin, often used as a deworming agent in animals and sometimes for humans, is not approved to treat COVID-19 and has not been shown to work for that purpose. Poison control centers have recorded a five-fold increase in calls related to ivermectin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  

The AMA, the country's largest doctors group, is now joining in warning against use of the drug, joining the Food and Drug Administration and the CDC.  

"We are alarmed by reports that outpatient prescribing for and dispensing of ivermectin have increased 24-fold since before the pandemic and increased exponentially over the past few months," the AMA said in a statement, joined by the American Pharmacists Association and American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. "As such, we are calling for an immediate end to the prescribing, dispensing, and use of ivermectin for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 outside of a clinical trial." 

. . .

Experts say that instead of risking the use of unproven drugs, people should get vaccinated.

This is rich.  Click here for the CDC government website’s guidelines for overseas immigrants coming to the US.  What’s on the list of medications recommended to immigrants coming from certain areas?  Ivermectin.

Candidate for Cleveland Mayor: Dennis The Menace

Citizens for Change "is a political action committee dedicated to preventing Dennis Kucinich from becoming Cleveland’s mayor again."  Although Mr. Kucinich's website is silent on the endorsement, when he ran for President as a Democrat in 2004, he was endorsed by the Communist Party of the US.  My impression is that Citizens for Change would prefer a candidate for Mayor of Cleveland who is progressive, but if so, that says a lot, if Kucinich is even further to the left.  At any rate, our household received this 2-page flyer in the mail the other day:
