South Africa suspends plans to roll out Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine
The vaccine shielded people against the primary strain, but not the variant, the health minister said.
South Africa on Sunday announced it would suspend its plans to roll out the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine because the vaccine in a clinical trial failed to effectively shield people from mild to moderate sickness caused by a variant of the illness.
"The AstraZeneca vaccine appeared effective against the original strain, but not against the variant," health minister Zweli Mkhize said, according to the Associated Press. "We have decided to put a temporary hold on the rollout of the vaccine … more work needs to be done," he said.
Preliminary data from a study of 2,000 individuals who were predominantly young and healthy indicated that the vaccine supplied "minimal protection against mild-moderate disease" resulting from the virus variant, the outlet noted.

Twenty arrested as Haiti's president alleges plot to kill him and overthrow government
Haitian President Jovenel Moise announced Sunday that authorities apprehended more than 20 people, including at least two high-profile government officials, who he accused of plotting to kill him and overthrow his government.
Moise told reporters the alleged plot began on Nov. 20. “There was an attempt on my life,” he said.
A police inspector and Supreme Court Judge, Yvickel Dabrézil, are among the nearly two-dozen people behind bars. The arrest of Dabrezil, one of the front-runners for a potential presidential run to unseat Moise, has drawn widespread condemnation from members of the government's opposition, including André Michel, who called for Moise's apprehension.
Reynold Georges, another top opposition leader who used to serve in the president's administration, cautioned the public that the court system could shut down if Dabrezil remains in custody.
“We ask for his release immediately,” he said.
The string of arrests follows demands from those who do not support the administration that Moise's five-year term ends on Sunday. The president, however, insists that he is permitted to remain in office through February 2022 since he was sworn in a year after the election.
President Biden's State Department supports the current regime and expects a transfer of power come 2022 through fair elections, a spokesperson told the Associated Press.

As far as I can see it was your comment / another insult that was unhelpful.
And now you back off, as usual.
The issue was
YOU DELETING STUFF FROM THE DOUGH.
DON’T CHANGE THE DOUGH.
AND FUCK OFF WITH THE INSULTS.
https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1358551742309421058
Be, I’ll try it nicely, fuck off.
Is it because you can’t handle being wrong so you turn to insults?
Aren’t you able to say sorry I deleted stuff from the dough because I didn’t understand it?
It’s just a meet up, not a class.
Tom said he has some ideas for the board he wants to talk about, he called the meeting, and we can all bring whatever we want to talk about if anything.
We can work out solutions for anything together.
He said Thursday, I said that might be good and suggested 7pm ET, because when we had the baking class at that time it worked for everybody (I know you came in after the start wakes), but we were always just getting started after saying hellos.
If you prefer another time or can’t make Thursday, maybe post on the meeting thread toms made in the catalog for it.
Chekt.
Dubs make it so.
Sure it’ll be just like class was, a place to have a socialise, shoot the shit n get stuff dome maybe.
Thanks for that. I’ll check em out and brace muh heart. kek

Bombshell Report: Barr Betrayed Donald Trump After Disappearing When He Needed Him Most
Attorney General William Barr was conspicuous by his absence down the final stretch of the Trump administration.
No Deep State justice. No fight over election fraud allegations. Now, there’s word he not only betrayed the American people with his dereliction of duty, he personally betrayed former President Trump and his agenda.
Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro appeared on Maria Bartiromo’s show on Sunday.
“Trump’s last Attorney General actually also turns out to be Joe Biden’s first Attorney General,” Navarro railed. “Because here is what was happening. We had over 30 executive orders queued after election day, ready to go. But we kept running into all of these roadblocks and roadblocks and hurdles. It turns out that Bill Barr’s office of legal counsel was fast-tracking all of these Biden EOs.”
“And basically, it was a Deep State queue,” he added. “Now, this has implications, Maria. I will tell you about one that got away from us. And I will tell you about one that Biden did. The first one that Biden did was an abomination. We did a beautiful executive order… to prevent the Communist Chinese from selling bulk power equipment into our electricity grid.”
“So, we had this beautiful order,” he went on. “One of the orders that Bill Barr helped Joe Biden do was to basically unwind that.”
“Wow,” Bartiromo exclaimed.
“So, bad news there,” Navarro continued.
Bartiromo took the interview to break with the former trade adviser and she followed up on Navarro’s report that suggests Barr was working with Biden and working at cross-purposes with Trump.
“The problem I told Barr about numerous times, and yeah, he should have been fired months before he was, by the last year of this administration,” said Navarro. “By the last year of this administration, he was really working against this administration in a lot of ways.”
“Wow,” Bartiromo exclaimed.
“And these executive orders, the bottleneck was at the Department of Justice, on so many things we did,” Navarro went on. “You see what President Biden is doing now, he’s just unwinding things that are going to come back to haunt the American worker, bigtime.”
There you have it. There was a reason that Bill Barr slunk into the shadows in the last year of the Trump administration. He was working at cross-purporses to the Trump administration and was in cahoots with the Biden administration. It makes perfect sense.

Elon Musk says Neuralink could start implanting chips in human brains ‘later this year
A goal of Neuralink, Elon Musk has previously said, is to help paralyzed patients easily interact with their cellphones or computers by implanting the brain chip.
Elon Musk says that his neurotechnology company Neuralink could be launching human trials “later this year.”
Musk shared the news in response to a Twitter user who said he’d be willing to participate in the human trials, which would implant an artificial intelligence chip in humans’ brains in hopes they could control technology just by thinking.
“I was in a car accident 20 years ago and have been paralyzed from the shoulders ever since. I’m always available for clinical studies at @Neuralink,” Twitter user Hamoon Kamai wrote to Musk on Sunday.
“Neuralink is working super hard to ensure implant safety & is in close communication with the FDA. If things go well, we might be able to do initial human trials later this year,” the Tesla CEO replied on Monday.
Neuralink’s goal is also to help paralyzed patients easily interact with their cellphones or computers by implanting the brain chip, Musk previously said.
The company began testing its chip on animals over the summer and used a pig for its experiment.
Musk recently went on the audio-streaming app Clubhouse, where he said Neuralink has implanted the brain chip in a monkey and that it can play video games with its mind.
“We’ve already got a monkey with a wireless implant in their skull, and the tiny wires, who can play video games using his mind,” the billionaire tech entrepreneur said.
“One of the things we’re trying to figure out is, can we have the monkeys play mind-Pong with each other?” Musk added. “That would be pretty cool.”

Facebook teams up with Atlantic Council / DFR Lab’s Ben Nimmo to to ‘lead global threat intelligence strategy against influence operations.’

Ben Nimmo
@benimmo
Next week, I’m starting at Facebook, where I’ll be helping to lead global threat intelligence strategy against influence operations.
I’m very excited to join one of the best IO teams in the world to study, catch and get ahead of the known players and emerging threats.
As a community - platforms, researchers and journalists - we’ve all come a long way since the dawn of this field of research.
Collectively, we’ve got better at detecting IO early, especially when they target major events like elections.
Secondary Infektion started with a Facebook takedown; it ended up being exposed for attempted interference in the 2019 UK election.
There were attempts at foreign interference in the US election in 2020, too, but they were caught early and exposed fast.
But to keep it that way, we need to keep getting better, because we know IO actors will evolve.
Just look at how many are using AI-generated profile pics, thinking it’ll help them hide.
Or using cutouts and co-opting authentic voices to amplify their ops.
(On the AI point, one of the ground-breaking moments we had at Graphika was investigating our first op that used large-scale generation of AI profile pics, in late 2019.
Naming it was fun, too.)
So the next challenge is: how do we all keep ahead, and make the environment less and less hospitable for influence operations?
There are great teams out there working on this. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved with the
@DFRLab
and
@Graphika_NYC
teams over the years, and all our friends and colleagues in this field.
They remain crucial voices.
But the people who can make the most difference in tackling IO are the platforms themselves, including by driving collaboration with researchers and journalists.
And when it comes to detecting and exposing IO, the Facebook team’s leading the way.
I’m delighted to join that team and work with some of the world’s top investigators, not just to detect the current threats, but to find ways to get ahead of future ones.

Facebook Censorship, Mad Ben Nimmo and the Atlantic Council
2018
Facebook has deleted all of my posts from July 2017 to last week because I am, apparently, a Russian Bot. For a while I could not add any new posts either, but we recently found a way around that, at least for now. To those of you tempted to say “So what?”, I would point out that over two thirds of visitors to my website arrive via my posting of the articles to Facebook and Twitter. Social media outlets like this blog, which offer an alternative to MSM propaganda, are hugely at the mercy of these corporate gatekeepers.
Facebook’s plunge into censorship is completely open and admitted, as is the fact it is operated for Facebook by the Atlantic Council – the extreme neo-con group part funded by NATO and whose board includes serial war criminal Henry Kissinger, Former CIA Heads Michael Hayden and Michael Morrell, and George Bush’s chief of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, among a whole list of horrors.
The staff are worse than the Board. Their lead expert on Russian bot detection is an obsessed nutter named Ben Nimmo, whose fragile grip on reality has been completely broken by his elevation to be the internet’s Witchfinder-General. Nimmo, grandly titled “Senior Fellow for Information Defense at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab”, is the go-to man for Establishment rubbishing of citizen journalists, and as with Joseph McCarthy or Matthew Clarke, one day society will sufficiently recover its balance for it to be generally acknowledged that this kind of witch-hunt nonsense was not just an aberration, but a manifestation of the evil it claimed to fight.
There is no Establishment cause Nimmo will not aid by labeling its opponents as Bots. This from the Herald newspaper two days ago, where Nimmo uncovers the secret web of Scottish Nationalist bots that dominate the internet, and had the temerity to question the stitch-up of Alex Salmond.
Nimmo’s proof? 2,000 people had used the hashtag #Dissolvetheunion on a total of 10,000 tweets in a week. That’s five tweets per person on average. In a week. Obviously a massive bot-plot, eh?
When Ben’s great expose for the Herald was met with widespread ridicule, he doubled down on it by producing his evidence – a list of the top ten bots he had uncovered in this research. Except that they are almost all, to my certain knowledge, not bots but people. But do not decry Ben’s fantastic forensic skills, for which NATO and the CIA fund the Atlantic Council. Ben’s number one suspect was definitely a bot. He had got the evil kingpin. He had seen through its identity despite its cunning disguise. That disguise included its name, IsthisAB0T, and its profile, where it called itself a bot for retweets on Independence. Thank goodness for Ben Nimmo, or nobody would ever have seen through that evil, presumably Kremlin-hatched, plan.
No wonder the Atlantic Council advertise Nimmo and his team as “Digital Sherlocks”
Nimmo’s track record is simply appalling. In this report for the Atlantic Council website, he falsely identified British pensioner @Ian56789 as a “Russian troll farm”, which led to Ian being named as such by the British government, and to perhaps the most surreal Sky News interview of all time. Perhaps still more remarkably, Nimmo searches for use of the phrase “cui bono?” in reference to the Skripal and fake Douma chemical weapons attacks. Nimmo characterises use of the phrase cui bono as evidence of pro-Assad and pro-Kremlin bots and trolls – he really does. Most people would think to consider cui bono indicates a smattering more commonsense than Nimmo himself displays.
It is at least obvious cui bono from Nimmo’s witchfinding – the capacious, NATO and CIA stuffed pockets of Ben Nimmo himself. That Facebook allows this utterly discredited neo-conservative charlatan the run of its censorship operations needs, given Facebook’s pivotal role in social media intercourse, to concern everybody. The freedom of the internet is under fundamental attack.
