Pharmacist Admits he Shouldn’t be Giving the Vax:

We have not been given informed consent on the vaccines, and as I mentioned in a previous post, our government and businesses have no authority to mandate their use. I continue to stand by my original assertion that the vaccine mandates violate the Nuremberg Code.  In this undercover video, a pharmacist admits it:

No, Pfizer is NOT FDA Approved:

I opined previously that I believe based on my research, that the Pfizer jabs were indeed NOT approved by the FDA.  “Fact-checkers” have claimed alternately everything from “it’s just a brand name” to “it is the exact same formulation”.  Yet here is another article discussing how the two are legally distinct, and that the approved Comirnaty vax is not yet available in the supply chain.

Furthermore, Pfizer admits that the vaccine it is distributing is still being dispensed under an EUA.  Pfizer has no immediate plans to begin distribution of Comirnaty.

The Pfizer spokesperson said the EUA-authorized product “will still be shipped and usable until its expiry date, as long as authorized frozen storage conditions have been maintained.”

The FDA noted last week that there’s not enough of Comirnaty “available for distribution to this population in its entirety.”

For its’ part, the FDA keeps repeating the same mantra:

The licensed vaccine has the same formulation as the EUA-authorized vaccine and the products can be used interchangeably to provide the vaccination series without presenting any safety or effectiveness concerns. The products are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness.

First, the FDA does acknowledge that there are “certain differences” but this surely goes beyond labeling.  I found a Pfizer fact sheet on Comirnaty that doesn’t go into a lot of detail, but does specify among other things: “the new formulation allows for longer storage” and further: “The new formulation for the currently approved population (individuals 12 years of age and older) will be available in a phased rollout starting in early 2022”.

From this we can glean at least 2 things:

  1. The formulation is not, and cannot be “identical”.
  2. Contrary to what the media and government have claimed, Comirnaty is NOT currently available. Pfizer admits it will be delivered in a “phased rollout starting in early 2022.”

Because the Pfizer shot is operating under an EUA, you cannot be legally compelled to take it, nor punished for refusing.

Want more evidence the two are not the same?  Take a gander:

Whether or not these differences are cause for concern is anybody’s guess. But we know that our public health officials and the media have NOT been forthcoming or transparent on any of this.  Additionally, legality matters, and legally, the 2 formulations are distinct.  Therefore, even if these differences between Comirnaty and Pfizer prove inconsequential, the fact remains that what has been used as the justification for “mandates” was not legally approved by FDA, thus bringing the validity of the mandates into question.

Misleading Covid Hospitalization Stats:

As world governments continue stoking “fear porn” about the spread of the Omicron variant, we’ve seen an increasing number of news stories about hospitals being “swamped” with Covid cases. But Omicron has been widely reported to present with only mild symptoms and a low rate of hospitalization and deaths, so what’s going on?

In the U.K. two thirds of all “Covid hospitalizations” were actually people who were admitted for another ailment and who subsequently tested positive.

In Vermont, the proliferation of quickie at-home antigen tests has resulted in ERs becoming clogged with people seeking PCR tests, even though most don’t even have any symptoms.

Worldwide, most Omicron case are either asymptomatic or present as mild “cold-like” symptoms.  Most people wouldn’t even know they had it with a test.

Despite these obvious facts, government and their media allies have continued to fuel public hysteria as a means of manipulating and controlling their citizens.  Dr. Robert Malone, co-inventor of mRNA vaccine technology discusses how government and activist interests are using the pandemic to push the Overton Window to fundamentally change the relationship between the people and government authority.

More importantly, the persistent fear-mongering is leading to a brand new and much more serious pandemic – collective psychosis.

Another Reason not to Vax Your Kids:

A newly published paper establishes that children generally experience mild or asymptomatic effects from Covid, and after recovering from infection, “develop robust and sustained cross-reactive spike-specific immune responses”.

Scientific Censorship:

In November a researcher working at the behest of Pfizer to conduct vaccine trials approached the British Medical Journal (BMJ) to report data integrity problems with the trials, including falsifying data and failing to report adverse reactions.

When BMJ and others attempted to share this information over social media, the prestigious medical journal was censored by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg via one of his infamous “fact checking” farces.  BMJ ripped Facebook in an open letter to Zuckerberg for “incompetence”.

Pity the People of Chicago:

Mayor Lori Lighfoot has presided over an unprecedented crime wave and massive economic decline as the City of Chicago falls  into a state of anarchy. Meanwhile, she appears quite vigilant about enforcing draconian vaccine mandates on the masses:

Vaccine Associated Hypersensitivity:

Two new studies, one from the U.K. and the other from Denmark provide more evidence that the vaccines may cause Vaccine Associated Hypersensitivity, making the vaxxed more susceptible to infection and serious illness than the unvaxxed:

The chart above is from the U.K. study.  Keep in mind, that although the infection rates for unvaccinated kids is high, they are not likely to experience severe illness.

EV Epic Fail:

The Biden Administration wants us all out of gasoline powered cars and into Electric Vehicles (EVs) as soon as possible.  But like most “green” advocates the climate change fanatics failed to take a number of important factors into account.

For instance, what happens when your expensive battery pack dies in 5-6 years?  For this Finish gentleman, he was told the price tag would be about $22,500 – hardly worth the trouble for a 2013 Tesla.  So he decided to donate it to a bunch of guys who like to blow things up:

It’s in Finnish, but it’s subtitled, and well, an explosion is an explosion… Besides, they put Elon Musk in the driver’s seat!

Covid Updates:

Another bombshell study from Israel shows that natural immunity is vastly superior to vaccine + booster alone.  “Hybrid” immunity (vax plus Covid recovery) does best of all, although results are close to natural immunity alone.  Here’s a telling chart from that study:

Dr. Peter McCullough talks with Joe Rogan about how therapeutic treatments for Covid-19 were suppressed in order to push the vaccines.  This is the full length interview:

People often criticize doctors like McCullough for giving interviews to Infowars, Joe Rogan, and other “non-mainstream” or “controversial” commentators. But remember, they are the ONLY outlets these professionals have to get the word out to the public. The rest of the media are towing the government narrative, and are actively suppressing their views.

Listen to the “experts” evolve from confidently informing us of how effective the vaccines are and how they prevent transmission, and then suddenly…flip:

Here’s a nice collection of the lies of Dr. Fauci and the Biden Administration, with a special H/T to Eeyore at Vlad Tepes:

On mandates…

On safety…

On the risk of Covid to children…

On the utility of PCR testing…

And a curiously prescient prediction…

Covid Concentration Camps?

If you thought it was only the Australians who were crazy enough to force people into “Covid concentration camps”, guess again.  New York Senate Bill A416 proposes to do exactly that.

Relates to the removal of cases, contacts and carriers of communicable diseases that are potentially dangerous to the public health.

— A416, Summary

…the Governor….may order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons by issuing a single order…

— A416, Section 2

Suppressing Scientific Dissent:

In October 2020, three distinguished epidemiologists created the Great Barrington Declaration to establish a set of protocols to protect vulnerable populations from Covid-19, and facilitate the early treatment of the infected with therapeutics.

In recently unearthed emails, it is shown that NIH Directory Francis Collins and NIAD Director Anthony Fauci conspired to put a “hit” on the leaders of the Great Barrington Declaration.

Americans Abandoned by the Courts:

The Federal 6th Circuit court on Friday, cleared the way for the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandates to proceed.  The decision was made by a 3-judge panel, and by a vote of 2-1 reversed the stay imposed by the 5th Circuit Court.  The case now heads to SCOTUS.

Are ICUs Overflowing with Covid Cases?

Judge for yourselves (these are aggregate U.S. numbers):

Covid Supply Chain

Dec 12, 2021

More evidence the Covid vaccines may be making people more susceptible to infection, and that the vaccinated are significant sources of virus transmissibility; Omicron variant infections among the vaccinated suggest “Original Antigen Sin” may be hindering natural immune response; a researcher explains why and how the vaccines may cause irreversible damage to your body; FDA and CDC move the goalposts again; and gaslighting and the supply chain crisis.

Covid Vaccines and Irreversible Damage:

If you watch only one video, this is the one to spend your time on.  Dr. Steven Pelech from the University of British Columbia explains how the vaccines can cause permanent heart and neurological damage, as well as autoimmune disease:

Dr. Pelech also does an excellent job of explaining how the immune system works, and why these mRNA vaccines (unlike conventional vaccines) attack your own healthy cells – cells that in many cases, cannot be replaced.

This concept that the vaccine-induced immunity is superior in any way to natural immunity is sheer nonsense. Anyone who says this should consult a first-year immunology textbook…We now know that these Covid vaccines that use the RNA or that use the adenovirus for delivery, the immunity does not last. Even with double booster shots in Israel we see that 90% of the people that are in hospital in Israel are double-vaccinated.

— Dr. Steven Pelech

The Vaccines and OAS:

Original Antigenic Sin (OAS) is a phenomenon where prior infection produces antibodies that may be far less effective when an individual is subsequently infected with a version of the original pathogen that is heavily mutated.  The immune system “recognizes” certain parts of the mutated virus and produces antibodies which may not be effective against the variant. In this way, the immune system response becomes “trapped” in a cycle of producing ineffective antibodies instead of producing new antibodies that would be effective against the new strain.

OAS could be exacerbated by repeated vaccine boosters.  Read a nice summary (with source links) of recent research into OAS and the vaccines here, and how Omicron infectivity in double and triple jabbed people may be a warning against repeated boosting and new vaccinations.

You might also like to read a newly published paper in the Lancet that offers further evidence that the vaccinated can and do transmit the virus.  If the vaccinated can transmit the virus as least as readily as the unvaccinated, then why are vaccine mandates necessary?

Many decisionmakers (sic) assume that the vaccinated can be excluded as a source of transmission. It appears to be grossly negligent to ignore the vaccinated population as a possible and relevant source of transmission when deciding about public health control measures.

— Gunter Kampf

Ivermectin:

Originally developed for humans as an anti-parasitic, Ivermectin has been proposed (and is being used in some parts of the world) as a therapeutic treatment for Covid-19 infections.  Despite the safety and wide-spread use of Ivermectin, many government health officials have adamantly opposed its’ use in treating Covid patients. In the United States, pharmacists today will generally not fill Ivermectin prescriptions, assuming you can find a doctor to write one.  Doctors are afraid of being targeted and have had their licenses threatened for prescribing it.

Although there have been numerous studies showing the promise of Ivermectin in treating Covid-19, and despite the fact it is generally safe when properly administered, the Western medical community has flatly refused to condone its’ use, even for off-label purposes. The media and even the CDC have slammed Ivermectin as “a horse dewormer”, despite the fact it was developed for humans, and is still widely used in the human population.

Presented below is a video provided by the FLCCC entitled “The Ivermectin Story”.  It explains the history of Ivermectin and dispels the myths of it being a mere “horse dewormer”.

Note: the first part of the video is the “Ivermectin Story” and is followed by a discussion, so don’t close the video after the credits roll.  Check out the FLCCC for more information.

Dr. John Campbell discusses the successful use of Ivermectin in Japan:

Japan is now also including warning labels on the vaccines and requiring fully informed consent before they can be administered.

More on Omicron:

Although the Omicron variant was ostensibly discovered in South Africa, it now appears it has actually been present in the U.S. since probably mid-November.  Although Omicron has proven to be far less virulent than Delta, this has not stopped Western governments from instituting new draconian measures, including new travel bans, and even threats to redefine “fully vaccinated”.   Some researchers even believe that Omicron could sound the death-knell of the pandemic.  That is, with its’ very low lethality and high rate of infectivity, it is hoped it will quickly establish naturally immunity in large segments of the population.  It is also speculated the virus may be evolving to become more infectious, but far less dangerous. like other Coronaviruses.

The Pandemic as a Political Weapon of Oppression:

Why would government health officials ignore and even suppress the use of safe, inexpensive therapeutic drugs to treat Covid-19, and push experimental vaccines?  Senator Ron Johnson speculates:

In Europe, European Union President Ursula von der Leyen, has called for the mandatory vaccination of 500 million people, and the suspension of the Nuremberg Code.

Take a virtual tour of the Canadian “hotel prisons” in Calgary used for Covid quarantine.

In Austria, citizens who fail to get the vax by February 2022, face fines of $8,000 and up to one year in prison.

Yale University epidemiologist, Dr. Harvey Risch, is characterizing Covid-19 as a “Pandemic of Fear” perpetrated on the public by power hungry ruling elites.   Risch joins a growing chorus of medical professionals and researchers calling for early treatment of Covid-19 infections using therapeutics like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin.

In Portland, Oregon, kindergartners (who have almost no chance of dying from Covid) are forced to sit on buckets outside just to eat their lunch.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is not only pushing boosters, but says we will also need at least a fourth dose.

Speaking of Pfizer, the FDA has now asked the court to give it 75 years to release all its’ data on the Pfizer vaccine (up from 55 years last week).

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has candidly revealed that as far as she’s concerned, “There’s not going to be an endpoint to this vaccination program..”.

In New Brunswick, Canada, Provincial government officials have cleared the way to allow businesses to ban the unvaccinated from grocery stores.

Lockdowns and mandates are taking their toll on the mental health of people worldwide.  In Melbourne, Australia a woman set herself on fire inside her car with a sign that read “NO ONE CARES, MANDATES ARE KILLING US“.

Facing an insurmountable financial and legal burden imposed by vaccine passport violations, a man in Germany killed himself and his entire family.  He was in considerable trouble with authorities for forging his wife’s vaccine certificate.

The Supply Chain – Lies, Lies, and Lies:

As I mentioned last week, U.S. officials have “solved” the shipping crisis at the Ports of LA and Long Beach by moving hundreds of ships 150 miles off the coast – out-of-site, out-of-mind.  The original reason given was “air pollution” from the ships anchored near the coast.  This week the excuse was “rough seas and strong winds“.  In any event, port officials and the Biden Administration are proclaiming “victory” over the shipping crisis.

So what is it guys? Is the crisis “solved”, if so why have well over 100 ships been pushed out to sea? Do they no longer count as part of the backlog?  Why were they pushed out – pollution, winds, rough waters?  The problem with telling lies, is it’s hard to keep your facts straight.

Covid Government Regulation Supply Chain

Dec. 5, 2021

This week we look at the first Pfizer document dump from FDA; the Omnicron panic; Australian Covid concentration camps; new warnings from the U.K. on the vaccines and heart problems; international human rights laws and vaccine mandates; the misdeeds of the “Uniparty”; our emerging 2-tiered justice system; and supply-chain deceptions.

Covid Updates:

The group Public Health and Medical Professionals  for Transparency (PHMP) sued the FDA for the release of all documentation used to evaluate and approve the Pfizer vaccine.  While FDA fought the release of any data, the court ruled that FDA had to comply with PHMP’s FOIA request.  For its’ part, FDA asked the judge to give them 55 years to release all of the data, stating they could only release 500 pages per month.  PHMP’s legal counsel countered with a motion to force the FDA to expedite the FOIA request and release all documents by March 3, 2022, stating in part:

This 108-day period is the same amount of time it took the FDA to review the responsive documents for the far more intricate task of licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine…It is difficult to imagine a greater need for transparency than immediate disclosure of the documents relied upon by the FDA to license a product that is now being mandated to over 100 million Americans under penalty of losing their careers, their income, their military service status, and far worse

After FDA released the first 500 pages (available for download on the PHMP’s website), several issues of concern were noted that are partially summarized in the table below (note pink are “serious” and blue “non-serious”):

Some highlights from just the first 90 days after EUA release:

  • 1,223 deaths
  • 158,893 adverse reactions
  • 25,957 nervous system issues
  • The possibility of “Vaccine-Associated Enhanced Disease (VAED), including Vaccine-associated Enhanced Respiratory Disease (VAERD)”

With respect to VAED/VAERD:

VAED may present as severe or unusual clinical manifestations of COVID-19. Overall, there were 37 subjects with suspected COVID-19 and 101 subjects with confirmed COVID-19 following one or both doses of the vaccine; 75 of the 101 cases were severe, resulting in hospitalisation, disability, life-threatening consequences or death. None of the 75 cases could be definitively considered as VAED/VAERD.  In this review of subjects with COVID-19 following vaccination, based on the current evidence, VAED/VAERD remains a theoretical risk for the vaccine. Surveillance will continue.

What is VAED?

Vaccine-associated enhanced diseases (VAED) are modified presentations of clinical infections affecting individuals exposed to a wild-type pathogen after having received a prior vaccination for the same pathogen
Munoz et al, February 2022

In other words – in some individuals, receiving a vaccine may cause those vaccinated to become more seriously ill from exposure to the pathogen than they would have had they not been vaccinated.

The Omicron variant is with us, and although it is so far proving to produce mild cases with a low chance of reinfection, world leaders are reacting with new draconian lockdowns, testing requirements, and other overreaching restrictions.  Dr. Peter McCullough discusses Omicron and offers some advice on how to protect yourself from hospitalization and death:

The Biden Administration has threatened (but not yet implemented) to force travelers to the U.S. (including citizens) to quarantine for 7 days, even if they test negative.

Dr Aseem Malhotra, a consulting cardiologist with the U.K.’s NHS, is warning that he has been advised by doctors and researchers that they are seeing serious cardiovascular complications from the vaccines.  However, those doctors are afraid to publish their findings for fear of losing funding:

In Germany, news anchors are wantonly demonizing the unvaccinated and calling for their isolation from society:

German pathology professors, Arne Burkhardt and Walter Lang, have performed autopsies on 10 people who died after taking the Covid vaccine.  Burkhardt and Lang found lymphocytic myocarditis (an autoimmune related cause of heart inflammation), as well as:

(a) reduction in immune capacity, acceleration of cancer growth, vascular damage ‘endothelitis’, vasculitis, perivasculitis and erythrocyte ‘clumping’

— freewestmedia.com

Presented below is a first-hand account of a young Australian woman who was forcibly interned in a “quarantine camp” for being “exposed” to someone with Covid (although she tested negative herself).  Unfortunately for her, this was not her first rodeo:

Do Mandates Violate Human Rights Laws?

There is a debate raging on social media and in the press about whether or not vaccine mandates violate the Nuremberg Code and/or the U.N.’s Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (UDBHR).  Pro-mandate and “fact-checking” sources claim that the Nuremberg Code applies only to “experimental” medical procedures or treatments, and argue that the vaccines are not experimental in nature.  They also attack claimed violations of UDBHR using Article #27 of that document.

Vaccine-skeptics often mistakenly switch the two separate codes when making their case (citing UDBHR language as Nuremberg and vice versa), thereby giving their critics ammunition to discredit them.

First a couple of fundamental passages from both documents are necessary.  One of the most oft-cited portions of Nuremberg includes the following statement:

…the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision

— Nuremberg Code, Section #1

Next let’s look at the UDBHR:

Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice

— UDBHR, Article #6

Now let’s look at UDBHR Article #27:

If the application of the principles of this Declaration is to be limited, it should be by law, including laws in the interests of public safety, for the investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences, for the protection of public health or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. Any such law needs to be consistent with international human rights law

— UDBHR, Article #27

Finally UDBHR Article #28

Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any claim to engage in any activity or to perform any act contrary to human rights, fundamental freedoms and human dignity

— UDBHR, Article #28

I have attempted to sort this out, and I have arrived at an opinion.  From what I can determine, I believe that vaccine mandates in the U.S. constitute a violation of both Nuremberg and UDBHR.  Here’s why:

  • Contrary to popular belief, at the time the vaccine mandate was issued in the U.S. the Pfizer vaccine was legally NOT FDA approved.  The approval was in fact for another drug made by Pfizer called “Comirnaty”.  This is another hot topic for another post, but I am satisfied (after much work) that the original Pfizer shot was not legally approved by FDA.  There has been no shortage of double talk on this, from claims of “it’s just a brand name” to “there are no substantive differences”, but it’s all doublethink.
  •  If the Pfizer shot is not FDA approved, it is experimental, and thus, the mandate would be in clear violation of the Nuremberg Code until such time as the Comirnaty formulation is available.
  • The Moderna and J&J jabs are still operating under an EUA, and thus, are experimental.  Therefore including them in the mandate is a violation of the Nuremberg Code.
  • Apart from Nuremberg, the mandate would also seem to violate UDBHR Article #6, which is NOT limited “experimental” treatments.
  • Critics of my position might point to Article #27 above.  But I would point them back to Article #28. I think that denying a person the right to work in their chosen vocation; restricting their access to healthcare; and denying them statutory benefits such as unemployment, medicare, etc. due to their refusal to vax, does indeed violate Article #28 and certainly the “spirt” of Article #6.

I’m not a chicken, so here’s a link to what “bioethicists” think of this position.  Make up your own mind on this, but here are a couple of observations on the pro-mandate arguments against Nuremberg and UDBHR:

  • Notice in the link above, they quote Article #6, but truncate the quote.  Specifically this bit:  “The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice
  • Much time is spent parsing the meaning and types of “consent”. But I would point out that given the fact that FDA wants 55 years to release information on the “approved” Pfizer vaccine, it is impossible to have an independent and impartial evaluation of these data, thus, making the rendering of any sort of informed consent, impossible.
  • Another argument made by the “bioethicists” is that you don’t have the right to informed consent if you “pose a risk to others”.  I would first observe that the data clearly show that vaccinated individuals can spread Covid to others as easily as the unvaccinated. So vaccination does not change the risk profile for “spread”.  Moreover, they cite “principles of bioethics” – this is a philosophical, not a legal standard and has no legal standing on its’ own.

Consider the case of Bobby B0lin of Texas.  Bolin had recovered from Covid and needed a lung transplant because he suffered from COPA Syndrome.  Because government health authorities do not recognize naturally immunity, Bolin was forced into being double jabbed with Moderna, despite having serious lung issues.  He died after the second jab from a pulmonary embolism and heart issues.  Mr. Bolin was placed in an untenable position of having to choose between death by vax, or death by COPA.  Would “bioethicists” approve?  Probably.

Misdeeds of the Uniparty:

Are you an American who is upset with the policies of the Democratic Party and President Joe Biden?  Do you believe that the “opposition” Republicans will save you?  Well, consider that 80 Republicans in the House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill that would establish a national vaccine database.  The Federal government will be able to track everyone’s vax status, including boosters.  What could possibly go wrong?

2-Tiered Justice:

First, let’s look at the definition of the Rule of Law:

Rule of law is a principle under which all persons, institutions, and entities are accountable to laws that are:

  • Publicly promulgated
  • Equally enforced
  • Independently adjudicated
  • And consistent with international human rights principles.

So you might be wondering how it is that the NIAD Director or a U.S. Attorney General can commit serious felonies, and yet not only escape punishment, but even a trial?  If any of us were to engage in arms trafficking with drug cartels, or create a deadly virus with taxpayer money and then lie to Congress about it, we would expect to be in a great deal of trouble, no?

This special “privilege” is now being extended to some ordinary folks on account of “systemic racism” and the need for “equity“.

The impact of being jailed before trial can be lasting and severe: in addition to job loss, disruption in benefits like health insurance, and debt creation from being unable to work, it also increases your chances of pleading guilty and receiving a harsher sentence. Because low-income people and people of color are arrested and jailed at disproportionate rates, the consequences are felt even more deeply in these communities

This may be why the Wauesha Christmas Parade massacrer, Darrell Brooks, was released on a paltry $1,000 cash bail after he beat and ran over his girlfriend with his SUV – the same SUV he would use in just a couple of weeks to mow-down dozens and kill 6. It’s worth noting that Brooks was already out on bail (when he was released on bail, again) for shooting two people.  He also had an outstanding warrant in Nevada for committing a sex crime.  But hey, we wouldn’t want him to be “impacted” by being kept out of civilized society.  So now 6 people are dead and dozens are injured but…equity!

Supply Chain Sleight of Hand:

The Biden Administration is crowing that they’ve “solved” the shipping backlog at the ports of L.A./Long Beach.  But it turns out, all they’ve actually done is move hundreds of ships out 150 miles from port – out of sight, out of mind.  My favorite mariner, Sal Mercogliano explains with maps!

Parting Thoughts:
