   The FDA spokesperson says the agency recognizes full approval of the vaccines “may bring additional confidence and encourage them to get vaccinated.” … While the vaccine receiving full approval is expected to help with the vaccination push across the country, it is also likely to bolster efforts for mandatory vaccination. The Pentagon previously said it will discuss making vaccinations mandatory for U.S. troops once the vaccine is fully approved by the FDA.”
   

   1. (warning: following scenario is not pleasant, but there is still time to undermine this hypothetical narrative)

      It’s been hypothesized by Dr. Jones in a post at GY’s forum that FDA certification is Step 1 of a process, to be followed by Step 2 where the US could certify/declare SARS-CoV-2 as a bio-weapon released from a lab. If a narrative can be established that the unvaccinated are “dangerous” (e.g. the false claims in https://www.westernjournal.com/biden-says-unvaccinated-killing-people-facebook/), then this could be used to claim that “delivering a bio-weapon” means the unvaccinated could be legally interpreted as “domestic terrorists”. At that point, vaccine mandates could take on a new meaning.

      To de-risk this scenario, efforts could be made to undermine the “unvaccinated as a threat” narrative, e.g. by pointing out that infected-vaccinated can asymptomatically spread virus even more than the unvaccinated, who would have symptoms and could self-isolate. This can be established since current vaccines do not provide sterilizing immunity, https://subscriber-input.solari.com/forums/topic/sterilizing-vs-non-sterilizing-vaccines/

2. Cash all the days – is my stance 🙂
   Even made a lady unbeknownst to me at a cafe happy when being able to change her larger bank note into some smaller ones, so she could pay her friend who was with her – beaming smiles all around 🙂

   1. Nice! Been there, but no smiles. A lady who did not speak English very well only had a $100 dollar bill at a store at the mall in Houston. The young girl at the shop kept annoyingly insisting to the woman that she could not accept a $100 dollar bill (ridiculous). I was in a hurry, I pulled out my five $20 dollar bills and told the non-English speaking lady, here..let’s trade. She was able to pay for her goods, I was able to purchase mine, Done.

      I will say this, if you are a Solari subscriber and you don’t carry around at least $100 worth of cash on you everyday you leave your house, well, I would be concerned as to how much you are actually processing regarding what is going on in the world. I have been carrying emergency cash for decades, only been a Solari subscriber for 8 months or so.

      1. All my old guy friends at power company always had $550 to $1000 in wallet circa 2000. I always carry same today as retired guy. Why we all remember when we did not have $20 cash. Pile of $50 s, $20 s and $10 forget $100 s.

3. Catherine,

   Some friends and I would like to see open-sourced code for voting machines (and quite honestly any other software that’s used by/for the public, i.e. radar guns) in our state and we were thinking about getting a group together to start calling into the governor/state reps offices. Would you be able to point me in the direction of some good resources for organizing something like this that might actually stand a chance at getting our voices heard? Your take on open-sourcing would also be much appreciated in refining our argument.

   Thanks for everything.

4. Today: Moderna’s earnings call transcript: https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/08/05/moderna-inc-mrna-q2-2021-earnings-call-transcript/
   “We were delighted to get fast track designation from the U.S. FDA for our vaccine candidate, mRNA-1345 in adults over 60 years of age. There is no approved RSV vaccine. The burden for RSV infection is very high.”
   on Spikevax: “What is very interesting to see is forward-thinking countries like Israel and Switzerland have already signed APAs for 2023 to ensure supply for the endemic market. On the financial front, we delivered $4.4 billion of revenue and $2.8 billion of net income. The cash generation in the quarter was strong at around $4 billion, bringing our cash balance to over $12 billion at the end of June.”
   new target: “I’ll remind you that mRNA-1010 is a quadrivalent seasonal flu vaccine that’s targeting the WHL recommended strength. And our vision is to eventually combine mRNA-1010 as a seasonal flu vaccine in a pan-respiratory vaccine booster for adult and elderly populations that combine flu, a COVID-19 booster and potentially our respiratory syncytial virus vaccine. Looking on Slide 34, across our infectious disease portfolio, beyond 1010, we have a number of other important updates. In our RSV vaccine, our positive interim Phase I data was announced at Vaccine Day earlier this year; and phase 1 dosing in pediatric and adult vaccine is ongoing.”
   “On the right, you see two modalities which are not yet in the clinic, but for which we believe we have achieved an important derisking in nonhuman primates. Delivery of mRNA to the lung and delivery of mRNA into hematopoietic steam progenitor cells. Next slide, core modalities. In vaccine, we’re focusing on bringing to market what we believe could be a game-changing respiratory vaccine that medicine would combine over time, COVID-19 boosters, seasonal flu boosters plus RSV booster in one single annual shot.”

   I have not yet figured out what it is in the statements that caused Moderna’s share price to drop quite a bit today.

5. Catherine,

   Would you please consider a discussion or Q&A where you can elaborate on more detailed options on financial preparedness going forward? We have always homeschooled from the beginning, supported local farmers, grown some of our own food, have been 100% natural medicine driven, have not participated in allopathic medicine and don’t believe in debt. However, we fell for the 401k retirement ‘security’ trap. We still have 5 1/2 years before we can cash out of that without penalties and invest in real assets or start a business. Your advice on this area would be so appreciated. Thank you!!!

   1. Hi Laura, I am not Catherine, but I had heard from a US friend that there was/is some possibility to maybe get out of 401k (without the penalties or with less penalties) because of some provision around Covid-19? Some kind of “emergency exit”? Not sure of where to look for this, or if it still exists, may have been time-restricted in 2020- unfortunately, being from another country, I am not familiar with your system, just wanted to relay the info. I can ask my friend for details. Best regards, Dagmar

      1. Thanks Dagmar! Yes, the IRS waived the early penalty and allowed loans at very little interest against retirment accounts if you had been impacted by Covid. Our entire nest egg, including four children’s college funds are all in mutual fund retirement accounts (IRA, Roth IRA and just a tiny amount in actual 401k with my husband’s current employer). We are anticipating him losing his job over mandatory vaccine requirements being rolled out and wish we had some advice from Catherine on options we can take.

         1. Hi Laura, thanks for your reply, that was interesting! I hope you get e reply from Catherine, maybe you could send her an email directly? There was another thought that crossed my mind regarding the retirement accounts – what may be the actual loss if you took them out right now compared to if the dollar loses x% purchasing power over x years (until no tax loss)? Not sure if that is formulated right, it’s just that a thought. I wish you and your family well.

6. My sister and her husband they’re teachers, parents of 3 in Oklahoma and they did not received and have not received their tax return. This news may explain why.

7. China gets Hong Kong, Taiwan AND Australia. But their army will arrive down under wearing UN blue helmets…
