(NAFB) – The USDA recently finished a months-long investigation into thousands of reports from citizens who received unsolicited seed packages in the mail last year.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service found no evidence that someone was intentionally trying to harm U.S. agriculture with the shipments. APHIS did confirm that some of the seeds sent to the U.S. were unsolicited, but others were seeds that the recipients ordered, although the buyers didn’t know they were coming from a foreign country. Regardless, most shipments were illegal because they came into the country without a permit or phytosanitary certificate.

The vaccines are non-sterilizing in their current form. They will only generate enormous selective pressure in the direction of evolving new variants that escape them. Not only that, but because so far immune escape has been coupled to these things, those variants will be more contagious, and perhaps deadlier too.

It is VERY hard not to get depressed about all this…
And the notion that Team Blue can fix any of this is simply magical. Here we are almost a year in and we can’t make N95s in sufficient quantity, quarantine and contact tracing are jokes, ad infinitum.

NEX Great Lakes offered its Quarantine Program which allowed students to purchase select merchandise which was then delivered to the Barracks Quarterdeck free within 24 hours. The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) is comprised of 14,000 personnel worldwide facilitating six business lines, NEX retail stores, the Navy Lodge Program, Telecommunications Program, Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility, Ships Store Program
“We were contacted by base leadership to lend our support to the 4,500 A-School students who were required to ROM after the holiday break,” said Christopher Ponchak, General Manager, NEX Great Lakes. “By utilizing our NEX Quarantine Program, we were able to offer a variety of food, beverages and other basic items since students couldn’t leave their rooms.”
To let the students know about the NEX Quarantine Program, the NEX staff provided them with a QR code before and after the holiday break. The QR code gave the students electronic access to the NEX merchandise order sheet. Once students gained access to the order sheet, they selected the items they wanted to purchase and sent it to the NEX. Once received, the NEX fulfilled the order, contacted the student to complete the transaction and then delivered the merchandise to the barracks quarterdeck for free, typically within 24 hours. The NEX offered the program to students from Dec. 28. 2020 – Jan. 8, 2021.
