No big deal. Patrick lets us use this site for free.

Half of the time I can't even quote at all in the https://www.f150gen14.com/ forum.

I use Edge. I agree that despite the bugs, PatNet is probably one of the freest places on the intarwebs.

Yes, quoting is fucked up. I worked on it for a while, but didn't make much progress.

Works well for me. I am using Edge.

I can't get it to work on an iPhone at all.

I really like that the site is sort of old school. No adds popping out at me. No stupid video player jumping out at the bottom right I have to close. All of the important stuff without the crap.

Easy to read, easy on the eyes. The content and the main summary pages.

Thank you!

All of that is very deliberate on my part. No harassment. Not even static image ads.

Sorry, my mistake. I meant that I cannot get quoting of selections to work on an iphone.

Also, when quoting a small portion on an iphone, it doesn't jump to the comment box, right?

No, but maybe this time it does not drag those vertices quite bar over Mr added comment.

I hate using that iPhone because the damn thing "autocorrects" my typing to gibberish. I meant to say "No, but maybe this time it does not drag that vertical quote bar over my added comment."

How much did they pay out, and how much of it made it to the white guys who were discriminated against?

https://tdefender.substack.com/p/pfizer-covid-vaccine-deceptive-marketing-kansas-lawsuit-state-court

The state of Kansas can sue Pfizer in state court for misleading the public about its COVID-19 vaccines, a federal judge ruled today.

Pfizer tried to keep the case in federal court, arguing that the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act), which shields COVID-19 vaccine makers from liability for injuries caused by the vaccines, “completely preempts” consumer protection claims made by the state of Kansas.

Ray Flores, senior outside counsel for Children’s Health Defense (CHD), called the ruling a “major victory.”

“This first-of-its-kind ruling declares Pfizer’s deceptions aren’t afforded carte blanche treatment, as Mr. Bourla [CEO of Pfizer] probably assumed they’d be,” Flores said.

CHD General Counsel Kim Mack Rosenberg agreed. “This decision is important because it creates a viable path for Pfizer to potentially be held accountable for its wrongdoing on a massive scale.”

On June 17, 2024, Kansas sued Pfizer, alleging the pharmaceutical giant misled the public by marketing its COVID-19 vaccine as “safe and effective” while concealing known risks and critical data on limited effectiveness.

The lawsuit, filed by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach in the District Court of Thomas County, alleged that beginning in 2021, Pfizer covered up the fact that the vaccine was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies and deaths.

The complaint also alleged the company falsely claimed that its original vaccine retained high efficacy while knowing that efficacy waned over time and didn’t protect against new variants.

Pfizer also misled the public by claiming the COVID-19 vaccine would prevent transmission, even though the company never studied the vaccine’s capability to prevent transmission.

By marketing the vaccine as safe and effective despite its known risks, Pfizer violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act because millions of Kansans heard those misrepresentations, the complaint alleged.

Lawsuit is about deceptive marketing, not physical injuries or death

In July 2024, Pfizer successfully removed the Kansas lawsuit to federal court. However, in a September 2024 motion, Kansas asked for the case to be sent back to state court.

Pfizer filed an opposing motion in October 2024, in which it presented three arguments for why the case belonged in federal court. The final argument was that Kansas’ claims were “completely preempted by the PREP Act and are thus removable to federal court.”

In today’s ruling, U.S. District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree rejected all three of Pfizer’s arguments.

Crabtree rejected Pfizer’s PREP Act argument because all of Kansas’ claims are about deceptive marketing, not physical injury or death from Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot. “That point alone ends the debate,” Crabtree wrote.

From the link:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched an investigation into the leftist pro-censorship organization Media Matters for alleged coordination with other media watchdog groups accused by X owner Elon Musk of coordinating advertiser boycotts of the social media platform.

A civil investigative demand obtained by Reuters revealed that the regulator is seeking all documents that Media Matters has produced or received as part of the ongoing lawsuit launched by Musk in 2023, which alleges that it attempted to damage the site’s relationship with advertisers.

The commission is seeking information about the Washington, DC-based organization’s communications with similar Democrat-aligned groups, including a World Federation of Advertisers initiative called Global Alliance for Responsible Media — another subject of an ongoing X lawsuit.

Media Matters President Angela Carusone called the move by the FTC a “threat” by the Trump administration in a statement to the New York Post.

“Right-wing media figures holding key posts and abusing government power to target critics are two hallmarks of the Trump administration,” he said in a statement on Thursday. “Threats won’t work, our mission continues.”

While the FTC has yet to publicly comment on the investigation, Trump-appointed Chairman Andrew Ferguson said, “We must prosecute any unlawful collusion between online platforms, and confront advertiser boycotts which threaten competition among those platforms,” in a December statement on an unrelated case.

Ferguson later stated in April, “Drying up the advertising will dry up the idea. So, the risk of an advertiser boycott is a pretty serious risk to the free exchange of ideas.”

The left-wing watchdog was forced to lay off dozens of employees last May as they fought the “legal assault” by Musk, Carusone said at the time.

The group has often attacked Breitbart News and its late founder, Andrew Breitbart, smearing his platform as a “disaster” and a “hotbed of ridiculous smears.”

How many hundreds of billions does The Establishment owe in damages for racist affirmative action and DEI?

The Supreme Court’s 9-0 Ames decision this week in which the Justices finally cleared up a 44-year-long dispute among federal circuit courts, with five of the 12 districts holding that whites, men, and straights should be discriminated against in discrimination law, has mostly elicited rather baffled commentary in the mainstream media.

You see, if you accept the conventional wisdom about white supremacy and systemic racism, the news that the Supreme Court tolerated since 1981 an indefensibly blatant racist anti-white concoction with no legislative basis whatsoever is … well, hard to process. Does Not Compute in your worldview. ...

Meanwhile, in The Nation, Elie Mystal admits that the Supreme Court made the right decision, but worries that America will become bogged down in discrimination lawsuits.

Yes, there should be millions of discrimination lawsuits filed now, and every company which discriminated against whites must be punished.

July 5, 2024: Regardless of age, income, gender, ethnicity or political party, the unlawful COVID-19 mandates and harmful mRNA injections have had profound effects on all Americans. Recognizing the catastrophic harm that was inflicted upon them, millions of Americans want to seek legal recourse against the federal agencies and biopharma companies responsible for fraudulently unleashing the COVID-19 “safe and effective vaccines” on innocent adults and children. The good news is the US Supreme Court is on the side of the American people.

In Corner Post vs. The Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court affirmed parties who are harmed by a regulated company that was operating under the Code of Federal Regulations (in alliance with US laws) have the right to challenge the legality of a law or regulatory action within 6 years of being harmed under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).

School District Forced to Apologize, Pay $20,000 After Suspending Student for Saying ‘Illegal Aliens’

A North Carolina school district has been ordered to admit its mistake, publicly apologize, and pay $20,000 after being sued for suspending a 16-year-old student for using the term “illegal aliens” during a class discussion.

The legal battle, which lasted for a year, was finally settled on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, marking a victory for the student’s First Amendment rights.

The lawsuit was filed after Davidson County Schools suspended Christian McGhee in April 2023 for asking, “Do you mean space aliens or illegal aliens who need green cards?” during an English class discussion.

Although the student was making a simple point about the language being used in the debate, the school deemed his comment racially insensitive, resulting in a three-day suspension and marks indicating “racially insensitive behavior” on his permanent record. ...

This settlement sends a strong message to public schools: students’ constitutional rights must be respected, and educators should think twice before infringing on free speech for the sake of political correctness.

Illegal immigration is not a racial issue. It's a lawbreaking issue, and an issue about elite oppression of the US working class by undercutting their wages illegally.

In what advocates are calling a tacit admission of guilt, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has reached a settlement with ‘Feds For Freedom’ and its legal team at Boyden Gray PLLC, ending a nearly four-year legal battle over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees and contractors.

The case—Feds for Medical Freedom, et al. v. Biden, et al.—resulted in a sweeping settlement that effectively guts the mandate’s legacy, requiring:

Expungement of all federal employees’ COVID-19 vaccine records
A ban on vaccine status discrimination in hiring, firing, promotion, or discipline
Monetary reimbursement of legal fees to Feds For Freedom

In a major win for medical freedom, a New York federal judge late Tuesday ruled in favor of a preliminary injunction allowing a teenage girl who had been denied a medical vaccine exemption and barred from school to return to classes in September, pending the final outcome of her lawsuit against the school district.

CDC Hit With Lawsuit Over Failure to Test Cumulative Effect of 72-Dose Childhood Vaccine Schedule

Drs. Paul Thomas and Kenneth P. Stoller, along with Stand for Health Freedom, are suing the agency for failing to test the cumulative effect of the 72-dose schedule on children's health.

Two doctors who lost their medical licenses because they questioned the CDC’s vaccine recommendations for children are suing the agency for failing to test the cumulative effect of the 72-dose schedule on children’s health.

Drs. Paul Thomas and Kenneth P. Stoller and Stand for Health Freedom filed the lawsuit last week in federal court, alleging the lack of safety testing violates federal law and children’s constitutional rights.

The lawsuit names Susan Monarez, Ph.D., in her official capacity as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Attorney Rick Jaffe, who represents the plaintiffs, said the lawsuit “goes to the heart of the CDC’s childhood immunization program — a 72-plus dose medical intervention schedule that has never been tested.”

According to the complaint, the CDC’s childhood immunization schedule “is only based on an evaluation of short-term individual vaccine risks,” as the CDC “has never studied the combined effects and the accumulating dangers of administering all of the vaccines.”

The lawsuit states:

“The facts establish a continuing public health outrage hiding in plain sight: America administers more vaccines than any nation on earth while producing the sickest children in the developed world. Yet CDC demands proof of harm while refusing to conduct the studies that could provide it.”

The post-pandemic legal cleanup is turning into a bonanza of court rulings and settlements, and almost every story contains the word million. There are simply too many for me to keep up with. Here, for your enjoyment, is a buffet of headlines just from the last week. First, headline from Reuters, two days ago.

Qantas to pay record fine of $58 million for pandemic sackings criticised by judge

August 18, 2025

Next, also two days ago, this headline from Insurance Business:

Minnesota appeals court makes COVID- 19 case ruling
The decision is poised to have significant implications for policyholders and insurers

In this case, the appeals court overturned the lower court, and held that a health club chain was entitled to a separate $1M insurance payout for each lockdown order in every jurisdiction with a club location, rather than just one single $1M claim for the pandemic in general. Ouch!

August 13th, a Chicago Tribune headline:

Mercyhealth to pay $1M to settle religious discrimination charges involving COVID-19 vaccine mandate

The million-dollar settlement with employees followed an EEOC investigation that found reasonable cause to believe that Mercyhealth discriminated against its employees based on their religion by denying their religious accommodation requests.

August 5th headline, Miami Herald:

4 South Florida men charged with bilking Medicare in $110 million COVID test-kit case
By Jay Weaver
Updated August 5, 2025

I know. It’s so hard to imagine how someone could have found a scammy way to get rich off “emergency pandemic contracts.” More like this, please.

Finally, today, from Wisconsin local WBAC News:

Landmark trial in alleged wrongful death lawsuit of a COVID-19 patient underway in Outagamie County Court

This tragic case involves Grace Schara, 19, who the family claims was killed by Ascension Hospital, after lethal medication (remdesivir) and a shady do-not-resuscitate order that no one signed or approved. The fact it’s now before a jury means it survived all the hospital chain’s efforts to dismiss it and play games with discovery.

The rising tide of “pandemic consequences” is no longer theoretical — it’s being measured and priced out, in courtrooms, in the millions. Pick your saying: chickens coming home to roost, pandemic offenders hoisted on their own needle-like petards, FAFOs, or my favorite, karma’s a Nancy Pelosi. ...

This wave of pandemic-era litigation will leave a deep imprint on corporate risk management, probably for decades. Companies can’t treat shutdowns, mandates, or mass firings as “acts of God” anymore. They’re seeing that decisions made under the banner of “emergency” will still get litigated later. Expect new policies on workforce reductions, medical mandates, and crisis protocols vetted by lawyers in advance. Emergency decisions won’t be left to “managers under pressure” — lawyers will be in the room, because everyone can now see what happens when courts and juries start attaching million-dollar price tags years later.

The pandemic is not “over.” Its consequences are now beginning to arrive on the courthouse steps, in larger and larger numbers, and in dollar amounts too big to ignore. This is the real long tail of covid: the legal Reckoning. I bet you never thought you’d live to see the day.

We must keep calling for hangings, because Fauci's creation of the virus in Wuhan, the lockdowns, and the mRNA death jab mandates were the worst crimes in human history by far.
