Mortality trends for public employee retirees in the years 2015 to 2024.

I’m a former public employee that did not want to put an experimental drug into my body just to keep my job. That experience has probably scarred me for life. I am now looking at public institutions, state by state, to see if there is any potential (official) evidence of harm caused by those coerced covid vaccinations.

.

Does it seem like I am anxious to get to the end?

Well yes csofand, your flurry of activity is a bit odd.

I want to get there.

Okay, take it easy. Don’t go so fast that you make a mistake … one that The Future will find … compromising.

Thanks stranger, that is good advice.

O k l a h o m a.

That is a fun word to type.

Try it … kind of rolls off the fingers.

This place is starting to remind me of when I was painting a good deal, in my youth. I spent so much time in my studio, sometimes disappearing all night, only stumbling back in for bed at dawn. I became very intimate with my craft, finer and finer brushes were necessary, to produce the detail that I craved. Leaning in to the surface of my work, I got closer and closer. But at some point I began to wonder if I was the only one that saw these things? My world of intimate detail, it was all of my making, but could anyone else see it?

.

I do not know a damn thing about Oklahoma. It is in the midwest and it must be conservative. Right? Therefore, they must have fought the mandates and protected the people from the evil ones. Right? I don’t know, maybe.

But what seems to be the case everywhere I look is that it never is that black and white. Officially yes, Oklahoma did not go in for the mandates. Does that mean we (I) will not see any evidence of harm from the pandemic event?

Nope.

*be advised that these folks like to mix it up with their fun and games. In one report a number in parentheses is a loss, and in another one it is a gain.

Go figure.

In this one the tricksters have decided it is a gain. But like I said in my last post about Michigan, these gain and loss tables are just gambler’s spreadsheets. Professional gamblers.

* I will tell you here that there are just a handful of past reports available at the Oklahoma OPERS website. If you are interested, go look at them. But I can save you the time, and the tedious task of looking at yet more of my screenshots, by just telling you what those show for these actuarial gains and losses for Deaths.

First of all, they are all gains. (Secondly, they are big).

FY2023 … ($24,100,000)

FY2022 … ($33,000,000)

FY2021 … ($44,800,000)

FY2020 … ($18,400,000)

.

Yep, the professional bettors really didn’t see this one coming.

COVID-19 Vaccine Religious Accommodation Request

“Oklahoma State University, as a federal contractor, is subject to federal Executive Order 14042 mandating vaccinations for employees. Accordingly, all employees are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in compliance with federal requirements. All employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by December 8, 2021, unless they are legally entitled to an accommodation.

To be eligible for an accommodation on religious grounds, you must attest that your refusal to be vaccinated is based upon a sincere belief that is religious in nature. Accommodation requests cannot be based upon personal preference, concerns about the possible effects of the vaccine, or social, political or economic philosophies.”

STITT: OKLAHOMA WILL CONTINUE ‘WINNING’ VACCINE-MANDATE FIGHT

December 7, 2021

During a press conference, Gov. Kevin Stitt and Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor said the state will continue pushing back against federal overreach and also vowed to stand up for Oklahomans whose religious freedoms are infringed upon by private businesses’ vaccine mandates.

“President Biden’s administration does not believe in personal responsibilities. President Biden doesn’t trust Americans to make decisions for themselves,” Stitt said. “Luckily, our Constitution does.”

“My problem is not with the vaccine. My problem is with the notion of it being mandated,” O’Connor said.

OU, OSU announce COVID vaccine mandate for employees

October 29, 2021

“Oklahoma's two largest universities announced Friday they will require all employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to comply with a Biden administration mandate.

The University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University said all employees must be fully vaccinated by Dec. 8, except those who are legally entitled to a medical or religious exemption.

The two universities collectively employ about 30,000 people, with an estimated 18,000 at OU and about 12,000 at OSU. Workers at all campuses statewide for both schools, including extension and research locations, are subject to the vaccine mandate.”
