The following WUWT article (only 2 weeks old) was mocking a simulated forecast of 40C in England in 2050 for June 22nd.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/06/28/forecast-for-22nd-june-2050/

Yet here we are today and the UKMET published a real forecast of 40C not in 2050, but in 2022 for July 19th. Being off by 28 years isn’t exactly something to be proud of though.

On mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and myocarditis:

Myocarditis is a fairly rare side effect of vaccination and is often used as a reason not to vaccinate one’s children. There’s a fair amount of evidence that says that myocarditis is triggered by accidentally injecting the vaccine into a vein. If so, there’s a simple prevention called “aspiration” – when the needle is stuck in the arm, pull back on the plunger to see if blood enters the vaccine. If it does, the needle is in a vein.

Get the kids vaccinated, but ask for aspiration or not inserting the needle as deeply as is often done.

See my https://wermenh.com/covid-19/covid-myocarditis.html for much more info.

Re earlier discussion on metal toxicity, like Pb, mercury etc poisoning.
See above, around Ben Vorlich  July 15, 2022 2:02 pm

For decades, a leading global authority was Dr Allen Christophers, with whom I was fortunate to work on an Australian legal case.

http://dnacih.com/SILVA.htm

Allen drew a sharp distinction between large doses of heavy metals and very small doses. The latter seldom end up with hospitalization or death. I just did a Net search on US hospital Pb poisoning hospitalizations and did not find any. Instead there were numerous references to Pb toxicity based on measured levels of blood lead.
They were big on claims like this:

“What researchers have learned in recent years is that no level of lead is safe for children. Studies have even shown lead concentration in the blood as low as 2 micrograms per deciliter of blood (μg/dL) can lower IQ in children. And once children have blood lead levels of 5 μg/dL and above (what’s now considered lead poisoning), they can suffer severe neurological damage in the form of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders.
In 2014, the CDC found that 4.2 percent of children test, or half a million, had elevated blood lead levels of 5 (μg/dL) or greater. But Eric Roberts, the lead author of the new paper in Pediatrics, and colleagues suspected this number was incomplete.”
1.2 million children in the US have lead poisoning. We’re only treating half of them. – Vox

Another search was for heavy metal poisoning cases. Results, no mention of heavy metals like Pb or Hg in the USA

One might almost think that there are two classes of authors on poisons, those who measure harm and those who invent harm.

It is a scandal in itself, similar to the global warming scandal, where old white males like Dr Christophers, now deceased world expert, are ‘disappeared’.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

Latest news in the ever changing field of Dem legal philosophy:
Crossing state lines is no longer major no no.
In fact, it’s a basic right.

Women are not the property of their State, so they can travel between them for any reason they damn well please.

Just like that, state lines stopped being the ultimate frontiers and crossing these is no longer a taboo.

Lowering the grid voltage has an effect on consumption?
If so, does it increase the load?

I think Novak Djokovic should fly to Mexico, sneak across the border, catch a midnight Biden Flight to NYC area, and just show up at the US Open. And, he should pick a valid, active SSN at random and use it on the entry form.
