The Cecil (Suicide) Hotel

History, Mysteries, Paranormal 5 Minutes

Nestled within the busy streets of downtown Los Angeles lies one of the most infamous buildings in horror lore: the Cecil Hotel. Since opening its doors in 1927, the Cecil Hotel has been plagued with unfortunate and mysterious circumstances that have given it a perhaps unparalleled reputation for the macabre. At least 16 different murders, suicides, and unexplained paranormal events have taken place at the hotel — and it’s even served as the temporary home of some of America’s most notorious serial killers.

The Grand Opening Of The Cecil Hotel

The Cecil Hotel was built in 1924 by hotelier William Banks Hanner. It was supposed to be a destination hotel for international businessmen and social elites. Hanner spent $1 million on the 700-room Beaux Arts-style hotel, complete with a marble lobby, stained-glass windows, palm trees, and an opulent staircase.

But Hanner would come to regret his investment. Just two years after the Cecil Hotel opened, the world was thrown into the Great Depression — and Los Angeles was not immune to the economic collapse. Soon enough, the area surrounding the Cecil Hotel would be dubbed “Skid Row” and become home to thousands of homeless people.

The once beautiful hotel soon gained a reputation as a meeting place for junkies, runaways, and criminals. Worse yet, the Cecil Hotel ultimately earned a reputation for violence and death.

Suicide And Homicide At “The Most Haunted Hotel In Los Angeles”

In the 1930s alone, the Cecil Hotel was home to at least six reported suicides. A few residents ingested poison, while others shot themselves, slit their own throats, or jumped out their bedroom windows.

In 1934, for example, Army Sergeant Louis D. Borden slashed his throat with a razor. Less than four years later, Roy Thompson of the Marine Corps jumped from atop the Cecil Hotel and was found on the skylight of a neighboring building. The next few decades only saw more violent deaths.

In September 1944, 19-year-old Dorothy Jean Purcell awoke in the middle of the night with stomach pains while she was staying at the Cecil with Ben Levine, 38. She went to the bathroom so as not to disturb a sleeping Levine, and — to her complete shock — gave birth to a baby boy. She had no idea she had been pregnant.

Mistakenly thinking her newborn was dead, Purcell threw her live baby out the window and onto the roof of the building next door. At her trial, she was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity and she was admitted to a hospital for psychiatric treatment.

In 1962, 65-year-old George Giannini was walking by the Cecil with his hands in his pockets when he was struck to death by a falling woman. Pauline Otton, 27, jumped from her ninth-floor window after an argument with her estranged husband, Dewey. Her fall killed both her and Giannini instantly.

Police initially thought the two had committed suicide together but reconsidered when they found Giannini was still wearing shoes. If he had jumped, his shoes would have fallen off mid-flight. In light of the suicides, mishaps, and murders, Angelinos promptly dubbed the Cecil “the most haunted hotel in Los Angeles.”

A Serial Killer’s Paradise

While tragic calamities and suicide have contributed heavily to the hotel’s body count, the Cecil Hotel has also served as a temporary home for some of the grisliest murderers in American history. In the mid-1980s, Richard Ramirez — murderer of 13 people and better known as the “Night Stalker” — lived in a room on the top floor of the hotel during much of his horrific killing spree.

After killing someone, he would throw his bloody clothes into the Cecil Hotel’s dumpster and saunter into the hotel lobby either completely naked or only in underwear — “none of which would have raised an eyebrow,” writes journalist Josh Dean, “since the Cecil in the 1980s… ‘was total, unmitigated chaos.’” At the time, Ramirez was able to stay there for a mere $14 per night. And with corpses of junkies reportedly often found in the alleys near the hotel and sometimes even in the hallways, Ramirez’s blood-soaked lifestyle surely raised nary an eyebrow at the Cecil.

Richard Ramirez was ultimately convicted of 13 counts of murder, five attempted murders, and 11 sexual assaults

While some episodes of violence in and around the Cecil Hotel are attributable to known serial killers, some murders have remained unsolved. Such stories of violence are not simply a thing of the past. One of the most mysterious deaths ever to take place at the Cecil Hotel happened as recently as 2013.

Elisa Lam

In 2013, Canadian college student Elisa Lam was found dead inside the water tank on the roof of the hotel three weeks after she had gone missing. Her naked corpse was found after hotel guests had complained of bad water pressure and a “funny taste” to the water. Though authorities ruled her death as an accidental drowning, critics believed otherwise.

Before her death, surveillance cameras caught Lam acting strangely in an elevator, at times appearing to yell at someone out of view, as well as apparently attempting to hide from someone while pressing multiple elevator buttons and waving her arms erratically.

After the video surfaced publicly, many people began to believe that the rumors of the hotel being haunted might be true.

Horror aficionados began drawing parallels between the Black Dahlia murder and Lam’s disappearance, pointing out that both women were in their twenties, traveling alone from L.A. to San Diego, last seen at the Cecil Hotel, and were missing for several days before their bodies were found.

Thin though these connections may sound, the hotel has nevertheless developed a reputation for horror that defines its legacy to this day.

After a brief stint as the Stay On Main Hotel and Hostel, the hotel closed. It underwent a $100 million renovation and was turned into $900 to $1,200-a-month “micro apartments.”

—————-

On December 14, 2021, Cecil Hotel Apartments opened. The 600 units range between 160 and 175 square feet and the common areas include bathrooms and kitchens, which is similar to the hotel’s earlier days. It also offers guarded entry and case management services on-site.

The rooms are exclusively available to rent by low-income Los Angelenos who earn between 30% and 60% of the area’s median income of $24,850 annually. With rent ranging between $900 and $1,200 a month, tenants can use Section 8 housing vouchers to help pay. Three months after it reopened, the building was boarded up against unwanted visitors and discreetly serves its visitors.

Might there be another reason for all the deaths, spawned much further back in history? Stay tuned for part 2 of The Cecil Hotel…..

  9. blunders my ass…these were intentional! allowing unvetted afghan terrorists into the country–not housed on bases anymore and they can’t find half of the terrorists anymore…that’s INTENTIONAL
    FTA
    “We are conducting thorough … security screening for everyone who is not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident,” the president said at the time. “Anyone arriving in the United States will have undergone a background check.”

    But the inspector general cited a series of bureaucratic blunders that kept the Pentagon from fully vetting Afghan refugees who made their way into the continental United States (CONUS).

    “We found that Afghan evacuees were not vetted by the National Counter‑Terrorism Center (NCTC) using all DoD data prior to arriving in CONUS,” the report said.
    File
    DODIG-222-065.PDF

    “This occurred,” the IG explained, “because Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) enrollments were compared against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) data, which did not initially include all biometric data located in the DoD Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) database and because the DoD’s National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) has agreements with foreign partners that prohibits the sharing of some ABIS data with U.S. agencies outside of the DoD.”

    The senators wrote FBI Director Chris Wray seeking a briefing, saying recent information they received from the Pentagon heightened their concerns that additional refugees are being released into the U.S. without full vetting.

    “DOD also indicated that, while DHS continues to parole additional Afghans into the United States, DHS is still not using DOD’s tactical database to screen Afghans for derogatory information,” they wrote. “Since Afghan parolees are no longer being housed on military bases, DOD no longer has a force protection mandate to carry out the additional screening that would better protect our homeland security.”

    1. That’s 100% garbage. Recall that “Idi Amin” Lloyd Austin, the Sec. of Defense who intentionally screwed up the entire disaster of the “evacuation” from Afghanistan, allowed ANY Afghan who showed up at the Kandahar airport onto U.S. evacuation airplanes — while INTENTIONALLY leaving hundreds, if not thousands, of American citizens and valid Green Card holders to become HOSTAGES of the new Taliban government!
      According to DoD figures, about 70% of the total number of people arriving in the U.S. from the Afghanistan “evacuation” were SINGLE AFGHANI MEN of fighting age.
      Don’t hear anything about the Americans / Green Card holders STILL in Afghanistan now, do we?

  14. entire article from American Thinker…about removing all fossil fuels from our lives…folks just don’t get it

    Imagining life without any fossil fuels
    By Ted Noel

    So many truly intelligent people on the “right” side of the petroleum issue love to point out how electric cars need lots of rare earth materials for computers, motors, batteries, and so on. The amount of oil required to power the mining machines is huge, the rare earths are toxic, yada, yada, yada…

    “Wake me up when you’re done. We have to get rid of evil, dirty, fossil fuels! They’re killing us!”

    When reason can’t penetrate the barrier put up by the emotional rants of non-productive semi-sentient bipeds, what can we do? I think back to a video I did many moons ago, “Can you Talk with Your Neighborhood Liberal?” Let me demonstrate.

    Your granddaughter just came home from the hospital. She couldn’t drink fluids, so she had to have an IV. Imagine where she’d be without petroleum. The IV would have to be a metal needle. But two-year-olds don’t hold still well. A metal needle would lacerate the vein and we’d have to restart it. Rinse and repeat. Getting fluids to the needle requires tubing, and that tubing is all plastics made from petroleum. So, without oil wells and fracking, she’s dead.

    Your grandfather just went to the ER with a massive heart attack. An interventional cardiologist comes in to save him. But we don’t have oil wells anymore. You got rid of those nasty fossil fuels. Therefore, we don’t have any catheters to do a heart cath because those are all made from plastics that are made from oil. And if we found a blockage, we couldn’t put in a stent, because those need plastic and cobalt, a rare earth metal. So, sorry, your grandfather will die. We’ll just give him a little more pain medicine. But wait, we can’t even do that because the drug factory must have plastics to purify the medicine. So, he’s not just going to die, he’s going to die in pain.

    By now, even the lowest of the low IQ crowd will raise an eyebrow or two. Isn’t health care a right? Suppose it is. We can have all the doctors and nurses that can come out of our schools, but without oil, they can’t do any more than Healer Claire Beauchamp in Outlander. They can grind up a few herbs in a mortar and pestle, then use them. An occasional person will be helped, but most will die because modern medicine is impossible without plastics, which are all made from oil.

    But surely, we should do away with fossil fuels. Nope. Just watch the “Storm Watch” episode of Night Shift. You’ll have to click your ruby slippers three times to save any of the people in that emergency room. All the solar and wind power in the world won’t supply electricity when tornadoes take out the grid. You must have big diesel generators and lots of diesel fuel (from oil!) to cover the blackout.

    Well, maybe we should look at something simpler. Obviously, that mask saved you from the evil COVID monster. I’m not talking about the homemade cotton mask that even the CDC admits is worthless. No, I’m talking about the supremely effective N-95 you got through Amazon. But did you read the label? The active filter layer is “ultra-high grade electrostatically charged meltblown polypropylene.” That’s made from oil. Oops.

    Maybe we should look at something simpler, like those leggings you really don’t look so good in. That fabric was made from oil. So are the tires on your Tesla, the lenses in your glasses, and your Invisalign braces.

    Let’s cut to the chase. There isn’t anything in our lives that doesn’t depend on “fossil fuels.” It’s so easy to see the picture of smoke from a tailpipe or chimney and get disgusted. It’s “dirty” and should be eliminated. But that’s only a single pixel in a 4-K screen…which is also largely made of oil and rare earths. There is no place that a modern person can look that isn’t highly dependent on oil. One might think of Alex Javor on Life Below Zero, Next Generation. He refuses to use chain saws or snow machines. That looks like a low-carbon lifestyle. But he must burn wood for heat, and most of his clothing is made from synthetics that are…drum roll please…made from oil.

    Lest I beat this dead horse too much, let me simplify the point. Miss Greenie, show me any part of your life where we can completely eliminate fossil carbon. I’ll wait, but not too long because I don’t want to miss my golf game with my cardiologist next week. Without oil, he doesn’t have anything to do but play golf, so that’s what we’ll do. Every single tool he has, from medicines to diagnostics to interventional devices, is wholly dependent on oil.

    Should you happen to think of something, you know where to reach me. Wait. You can’t reach me because my iPhone is totally dependent on products made from oil. So, have a nice day.

          I am determined to take ALL of that off down to 5′ high on both sides and then to pay attention and train the vines where I want them to go! That was the first section that I landscaped so once I got it in, I was busy with other stuff and didn’t pay attention. The honeysuckle vines are easier since their framework isn’t as tall and I can stand in one of the garden beds, if need be, to reach the top.

  16. The working group may have set aside 12 of the 13 Amendments submitted but we MUST keep an eye on this, IMO. They can be brought back at any time!

    Geneva, Switzerland – May 28, the International Alliance for Justice and Democracy will host a press conference entitled “Democracy at Threat by WHO’s [World Health Organization] Centralization of Power” at the Geneva Press Club to address WHO’s ambiguous procedures following their 75th World Health Assembly (WHA) meeting.

    The press conference aims to bring full transparency to legal matters by a group of independent legal experts and other professionals addressing WHO’s ambiguous procedures and plans in conflict with the principles of national and individual sovereignty. This serves as a call to action for national and global decision makers, legal experts, and concerned citizens worldwide.

    The International Alliance for Justice and Democracy is a group of legal experts who convened due to concerns about the deterioration of Human Rights and democratic procedures observed over the past few years.

    As the governing body of the WHO, the WHA is currently meeting to discuss proposed amendments to existing International Health Regulations (IHR) from 2005. These regulations, intended to serve as the foundation of a pandemic treaty, would foster a “one-world government” in the name of public health. Representatives of 194 nations, including the U.S., will soon decide whether to grant the WHO the authority to manage future pandemics globally, including the power to sanction countries that don’t comply.

    CHD.TV will live-stream the press conference beginning at 9:00 am ET and the replay can be viewed on CHD.TV. Polly Tommy (CHD.TV) and Catherine Austin Fitts (Solari Inc.) will serve as moderators.

    These amendments would enable the WHO to declare a public health emergency unilaterally. For U.S. citizens, an unelected official could declare a public health emergency, allowing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to detain, examine, and potentially medicate Americans suspected of illness. The WHO would gain the authority to introduce surveillance systems, compliance measures and implementation of medical response worldwide, violating the inalienable rights of individuals and the sovereignty of nations. It would remove both transparency and accountability as the WHO is immune to every form of legal process.

    Experts/Speakers Include:

    Philipp Kruse, Attorney – Kruse Law, Switzerland
    Catherine Austin Fitts – President of Solari, Inc, USA
    Mary Holland – President of Children’s Health Defense, USA
    Leslie Manookian – President/Founder, Attorney, Health Freedom Defense Fund, USA

          “T. Rex were an English rock band, formed in 1967 by singer-songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band was initially called Tyrannosaurus Rex, and released four albums under this name – three psychedelic folk and one mellow psychedelic rock. In 1969, while developing the style for the fourth album, Bolan began to change the band’s style towards electric rock, and shortened their name to T. Rex the following year. This development culminated in 1970 with the song “Ride a White Swan”, and the group soon became pioneers of the glam rock movement.”

  37. UPDATE ON DENT’S RUN OPEN:

    FBI Forced To Reveal Study Showing Possible Civil War Gold Cache In Case Against Treasure Hunters
    By Greg Wilson

    May 28, 2022 DailyWire.com

    The case of missing Civil War gold some believe the FBI dug up in a remote western Pennsylvania field took another twist when newly released documents verified that scientific analysis done for the bureau may have showed a buried treasure trove.

    An analysis by a geophysicist using a technique called microgravity showed an underground object with a mass of up to 9 tons at the site. The FBI used the report to obtain a warrant to dig for the gold, but claims its 2018 excavation turned up nothing. A father-son treasure hunting duo called “Finders Keepers,” however, believes the FBI swooped in and took their treasure.

    “There’s been a pattern of behavior by the FBI that’s been very troubling,” Anne Weismann, Finders Keepers’ lawyer, said in January. She questioned whether the agency is “acting in good faith.”

    A scientific analysis commissioned by the FBI shortly before agents went digging for buried treasure suggested that a huge quantity of gold was below the surface, according to newly released government documents. https://t.co/Lk36AWbTTN

    — Yahoo News (@YahooNews) May 28, 2022

    Weismann is suing the FBI on behalf of Dennis and Kem Parada. The study done for the FBI had been reported before, but it was verified by the court-ordered release of the geophysical survey.

    The judge in the case ordered the Justice Department to turn over the records after being stonewalled by the FBI. The FBI has now posted the records on its website.

    The father and son believe the gold was part of an 1863 shipment of Union gold that was intended for the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. The gold, if found, has a current estimated value of $55 million.

    The Paradas have spent years hunting for the legendary gold cache, and eventually led FBI agents to the site, about 135 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, hoping to earn at least a finder’s fee.

    Proof of the technical survey data collected by geophysical consulting firm Enviroscan backs up the Paradas’ contention about the site, and appears to have convinced the FBI to excavate in a massive, secretive operation 2018. The Paradas traveled with the FBI to the site in Dents Run, Pennsylvania, with the FBI. But agents made the Paradas wait in their car while they dug, according to reports. The FBI agents claimed they found nothing.

    According to the January affidavit filed by Finders Keepers, “A few days after the FBI completed its dig at Dents Run, an off-duty Pennsylvania police officer told the Paradas and Mr. Getler that he had witnessed two ‘Brinks’ type armored trucks supported by two Humvees and a black SUV with satellite communication antennae.” Other residents also witnessed the vehicles in the area.

    John Louie, a geophysics professor at the University of Nevada-Reno, unconnected to the dig, reviewed Enviroscan’s report at the request of the Associated Press and said the firm’s “methods were very good,” and “their conclusions represent a physically reasonable hypothesis” that gold was buried at the site. But he said it was not conclusive.

    “Thus, it is also entirely reasonable that the FBI did not find anything at the site, because there was not really any gold there,” he told the outlet via email.

    “This is the last thing you’ll see before we put a bullet through your head if you’re trying to hurt our children. We’re going to shoot you graveyard dead if you come onto a campus with a gun threatening our children or shooting at us,” the Sheriff of Polk County told the press as he held up a photo of armed officers in a video released by his office late Friday afternoon.

    Murder is always wrong, but murdering children is absolutely heinous. We need more sheriffs around this country like Sheriff Grady. Here’s his whole press conference:

  42. Entire article: “A Disney employee spoke with Caitlin Sinclair from One America News Network this week to discuss how the company is no longer a family friendly place. Nick Caturano has been a Disney employee for over 18 years, spending much of that time playing characters at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. He says the change within the company has been “stunning”.

    “It seems there’s a bigger agenda involved,” Caturano said. “I don’t think anyone at these corporate levels is even worried abut the money. It’s an ideology.” “It’s an assault on the American people,” he added.

    He says there are now bearded male employees in leopard prints and stilettos within the park, freely walking into the girls bathrooms. “That’s just not conducive to a healthy work environment. These things do not belong there,” Caturano told the OANN host. “We are seeing bearded men in dresses serving tables at restaurants. And just to put a family who’s not ready to deal with that issue, just to have them confronting their family, you’re putting these families in an awkward position.

    They’ve gone there to make memories and escape, and that’s why people cherish Disney, they get the chance to escape and spend quality time with their family. But now you’re sitting at lunch or dinner and you’re having to explain to your kid why a bearded man in a dress is serving them. It’s gotten to the point where they want to groom and sexualize young kids, and I think the great majority of us can agree that something is wrong here, and we can’t continue to allow this to happen.”

  43. EXCERPT: “Far-left blog The Daily Beast has issued a formal apology to Hunter Biden’s laptop repairman after a lawsuit was launched claiming that the publication’s reporting led to the loss of the repairman’s business.
    —————-
    The Daily Beast’s apology appears on one such story in which The Daily Beast “mistakenly referred” to the laptop as “stolen,” according to the New York Post.

    “We have removed that word,” wrote The Daily Beast, “and apologize to Mr. Mac Isaac for the error.”

    According to the Post, the left wing’s publication came less than a month after The Daily Beast was named as a defendant in a lawsuit against media and law enforcement agencies seeks at least $1 million in punitive damages, with a larger number expected to follow.”

  44. From Louder With Crowder:

    “Take a knee, all you leftist buttheads. I have a pro-tip to share with you. Because while I think what you have to say is usually batsh!t crazy and proof that the public school system has failed you, I respect your right to say it. If you’re going to take to the streets to rant about unhinged nonsense, leave the animals alone On behalf of America, we like them more than we like you. Many of our furry friends also make more sense. Now that we have that out of the way, here’s an idiot getting kicked by a horse.

    I’m really curious how this played out in Becky’s head. Like, she thought she was going to run up to the horse, scream “ooga booga,” and then the horse was going to run off after throwing the cop off of it. And I’m sorry, but horses don’t play like that, especially police horses, which are highly trained law enforcement operatives. They don’t just buy horses from the horse places and hand them out to cops.

    Police horses are very protective of their riders. Riders are very protective of their horses. And they both hate idiot protesters.”

  45. EXCERPT: Everyone has heard about the terrible, tragic Texas school shooting. As usual, Democrats see this as an opportunity to blame guns…and Republicans. They will demand gun bans, strict gun control and gun confiscation. So what else is new? This tragic shooting is just more proof that we live in a country that is bitterly divided. So divided that the two sides- right and left, Republican and Democrat, conservative and liberal- can’t agree on anything.

    We appear headed for a divorce. Because it’s clear neither side can live with the other. There is no way to compromise when two sides see things so differently. It’s like night and day. It’s almost as if… Republicans are from Mars and Democrats are from Ur-anus.

    Here are the 12 lessons I’ve learned from this tragedy. I’m certain tens of millions of conservative patriots see it the exact same way. Wanna bet?
    ——————
    9. Instead of useless new laws, why don’t we make mass murder (the killing of two or more) a DEATH PENALTY crime. If convicted of mass murder, there are no appeals, the convicted mass killer is executed the next day by firing squad. End of story. That’s the way to deter more mass shootings.

    10. Investigate Big Pharma for the drugs they pump into young males for depression, anger issues, ADD and mental illness. Virtually every mass killer in recent memory was on these drugs. The side effects of these drugs are suicidal and violent thoughts. Why are we drugging so many male teenagers?

    11. Never mention “Defund Police” ever again. Incidents like this prove we need more police, not less.

    12. But there are many questions about how these specific police responded. Did they stand around for an hour while kids were being murdered? Police announced they waited so long because they were “afraid to get shot.” Really? If police are afraid to get shot, they should be instantly terminated. That’s their job- to risk their life to protect civilians. So, no more “defund police,” but let’s re-think how we’re hiring and training police. We need heroic macho warriors. Stop trying to make them into politically-correct pansies, poets and social workers.

    These are the 12 commonsense lessons millions of conservative patriots learned from this tragic mass shooting. I know Democrats will be shocked and horrified. That’s why it may be time for a divorce. This marriage isn’t working.

      1. Oh, hell, yeah! Enough of this crap of people sitting on death row filing appeal after appeal after appeal after appeal! I do think one appeal should be allowed – and I think outside investigators should be brought in for fresh eyes, but that’s it, as far as I’m concerned!!!!

  46. Entire Article – Geller Report: “TRUMP PEACE: Dozens of Israeli business people recently flew to Saudi Arabia with an Israeli passport to discuss trade deals”

    “The miracle of President Trump’s Abraham Accords continues at breakneck speed. It’s just incredible. Israel and Saudi Arabia establishing full diplomatic relations is just a matter time. January of 2025 to be exact. Dozens of businessmen recently flew to Saudi Arabia with an Israeli passport.”

    By Time News, May 27, 2022

    ‘But the normalization with Saudi Arabia, even if not officially announced but – already almost here. This is reflected in large deals recently signed, visits by Israeli businessmen with Israeli passports on special visas in Saudi Arabia, and advanced contacts for investments by Saudi businessmen and investment funds in Israel.

    “For more than twenty years we have had an indirect connection with Saudi Arabia, but a boom like in recent months I do not remember,” a source familiar with the matter told Globes. These commercial ties were behind the scenes, mostly through companies registered in European or other countries, and the deals were signed in those countries. These are a variety of civilian and security areas alike.’

  47. Entire article@ Infowars: “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has put out its first vaccine guidance related to a recent outbreak of monkeypox cases across the U.S. and Europe – with health workers and others responding to the uptick in cases first in line to get the shots.

    The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC’s leading experts on vaccines, issued the recommendation Friday, and it will include lab workers who research orthopoxviruses, people who work in lab testing environments, and health care personnel who are treating infected patients.

    The JYNNEOS vaccine in question is tailored to both smallpox and monkeypox – just as many other smallpox drugs are also believed to be effective against the rare virus. It comes as the U.S. records its tenth presumptive case of the virus, with a man in Colorado having a suspected infection after a recent trip to Canada, state officials announced Thursday night.

    ‘Certain laboratorians and health care personnel can be exposed to orthopoxviruses through occupational activities,’ ACIP wrote in its report. The panel notes that orthopoxvirus vaccines, like JYNNEOS, were regularly distributed to children in the U.S. to combat smallpox in the past.

    Smallpox, a highly devastating, deadly, virus, was eradicated in 1980, though, and use of the vaccines has since been dropped from mandatory to scarce. Officials still recommend that some parts of the population do continue to receive the shots, though, including people who may be exposed to these viruses at work. America has a stockpile of over 1,000 doses of the two-dose vaccine in place for a situation like this.’

  48. Oh, this Maher is a must watch! He is dead on!!!

    EXCERPT: “He’s finally done it — Bill Maher has gone too far for some on the Left. As covered by RedState’s Nick Arama, Bill talked transgenderism on last Friday’s Real Time. Witness the anti-wokeness (Language Warning):

    Bill even went to bat for Abigail Shrier’s book about the transgender trend among young girls, Irreversible Damage. “If this spike in trans children is all-natural,” he offered, “why is it regional? Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.”

    The lifelong liberal’s analysis didn’t sit universally well. One unimpressed onlooker: David Kilmnick, head of advocacy group LGBT Network.
    ———————-
    The sociopolitical Left seems in disarray. There’s a skirmish of two schools — old and new. Bill Maher’s not nearly neo-. Apropos of being behind the times, Maher might be underestimating the eccentricity of the age: Progressively, it isn’t that youngsters believe they’re born in the wrong bodies. Institutions are simply giving them a choice: You can be anything; construct your own creature like you’re at Build-A-Bear. Such an open-ended opportunity bazookas the binary.
    ———————-
    Back to Bill, will he be #canceled? Only time will tell. Some American entities are unwoking while others are doubling down. Stay tuned for more. -ALEX
