A QUARTER of ‚Covid inpatients‘ in England are primarily being treated for a different illness or injury, official data shows

Clarence Thomas warns against ‚destroying our institutions,‘ defends the Supreme Court
“They think you’re for this or for that. They think you become like a politician,” he continued. “That’s a problem. You’re going to jeopardize any faith in the legal institutions.”
When asked at Thursday’s event if his Catholic faith has been at conflict with some of the legal questions that have come before the court, he responded, “that’s not the role of a judge.”
“You do your job and you go cry alone,” he added, according to The Associated Press.
Will Joe Biden’s vaccination requirements hold up in court?
The big policy that Biden has so far declined to impose is a national vaccination mandate. There’s a reason: Legal experts said that doing so would have been pretty clearly unconstitutional.
This is a „bright line,“ said Lawrence O. Gostin, faculty director of Georgetown University Law Center’s O‘Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law. „States can mandate vaccines for the general population. The federal government cannot.„

Facebook: Zensur-Orgie kurz vor der Wahl
Facebook hat offenbar eine neue Strategie, kurz vor der Wahl. Das Netzwerk zensiert jetzt so massiv, dass man nicht mehr hinterher kommt, darüber zu berichten. Und dass sich die Berichte derart häufen, dass man die Leser schon damit langweilt. Vielleicht ist das Ziel, dass man diese Eingriffe deswegen schweigend akzeptiert. Was sich die Zensoren erlauben, ist hanebüchen. Der aktuellste Beitrag, der heute von ihnen gesperrt wurde – der dritte binnen weniger Tage – ist eine Analyse zur Bundestagswahl, eine gute Woche vor dieser:

Jetzt kommt die Schnullerpflicht
Der internatioanle Präzedenzfall eines gezielten, politischen Banns auf dem Milliarden-Spucknapf Facebook zielt nicht auf die Dialektiker von „Querdenken“ (möge diese Zuspieler der Einheitsregierung der Teufel holen). Es zielt auf die weitere Unterdrückung von Allem, was Menschen überhaupt erst ausmacht. Und, das zeigt die Geschichte, mit den Deutschen lässt sich das immer machem.
1932–1945: Doctors & Academics Perverted Medicine & Science in Nazi Germany
(November 18, 2014)
“Three of its institutes that were beneficiaries of the Rockefeller Foundation [K-W Psychiatry (Munich); K-W Brain Research (Berlin-Buch); K-W Anthropology, Genetics, Eugenics (Berlin-Dahlem)] played an important role in the development, implementation and exploitation of the racial programs of the Third Reich including murderous experiments and the exploitation of the dead. Kaiser-Wilhelm scientists joined with the Nazi state in pursuit of the goal of improving the people’s health (Volksgesundheit), the major emphasis being on eugenic and racial purification.
The resulting collaboration between science and the Nazi state not only legitimized the policies and programs of the Hitler regime but it resulted in the exploitation and mutilation and murder of untold thousands of innocent victims by physicians and scientists associated with some of the world’s leading universities and research institutes. The participation of scientists associated with the Kaiser-Wilhelm Society enhanced the credibility of the Nazi state’s program of scientific terror and murder.”

German Facebook ruling boosts EU push for stricter content moderation
(July 29, 2021)
In its ruling, the Karlsruhe-based court said that while Facebook had the right to decide what stays on or off the platform, it needs to be more forthcoming with users on how it does so. The court found that the social media company did not inform two users that it had removed their posts. It added that the company should have also informed and given users an opportunity to respond before suspending them from its platform.
The decision sets a major precedent for how social media companies police content on their platforms, likely giving a boost to EU lawmakers in Brussels, who are pushing to add further obligations on social media companies.
