Hey Alex I know you’re concerned about sending too many emails but I enjoy these small posts. Would be great if you could use the stack as a twitter substitute. Idk about substack features but maybe you could designate posts as “small thoughts” vs “articles”

Thank you. My response to people who ask if I'm vaccinated is to ask them when they were, which is generally over 6 months ago and then say “Well, I guess that makes us both unvaccinated,”

The vaccines don't stop covid deaths, clearly. Worse, we're expected to give up many if not nearly all liberties over the fact that less than 200 people die a day in a nation with a population of over 67 million? Covid death numbers are a tiny blip. This is insanity.

Thank you again and again for all you write. You have been my beacon of light for the past year and a half.

The most frustrating thing about this entire situation is the unwillingness of so many people to admit that they just don't know. This goes from Fauci to Biden to randos on Twitter. People are acting like they know exactly how to end Covid. Just get everybody vaccinated.

Except that vaccinated people still get infected and transmit Covid. So vaccinated people have to wear masks.

Many are proceeding with vaccine mandates as if the vaccine protects anyone from infection and transmission - which all the "experts" now tell us that it doesn't.

And then there is the vaccine itself. Is it safe? It seems like it probably is for most people. But I found this comment from Dr. Cort Lohff of the Southern Nevada Health District when he was asked about getting the flu shot at the same time as the Covid shot. "The doctor said while they don’t anticipate long term side effects of using both vaccines, he said officials don’t know the long term side effects of COVID-19 vaccines."

They don't KNOW the long term side effects of Covid-19 vaccines????? Excuse me???? You're trying to inject the ENTIRE country and you don't KNOW what the long term side effects are??? I really cannot make this up. But at least I give the Doctor credit for being honest which has been sadly lacking from our public health "experts" during most of the pandemic.

I do have to seriously question the people who are insisting on vaccinating children when we don't know the long term side effects of the vaccines. Children could be irreparably harmed by the vaccines yet they are at almost no risk of being harmed from Covid.

I feel like I am living in the Twilight Zone.

hearing the lunacy of Biden on radio this aft. . . Every other word is "vaccinated" and "vaccine" , repeated hundreds of times, begging and browbeating. The more it fails the harder they push it. This is way beyond sinister.

just some quick math - The 7 day daily average number of cases peaked in the UK on January 9th at 59,417. By March 26th, it had dropped to 5,411. As of March 26th, Roughly 5% of the UK population had been vaccinated. So they had a 90%+ decline in cases with 5% of the country vaccinated. That is not a triumph of vaccines. That's a fucking triumph of seasonality.

On May 5th, the UK had dropped to 1,951 average daily cases with 24.4% of the country fully vaccinated. As of yesterday (9/8), the cases had risen to 38,518, with 65.5% of the population fully vaccinated.

So just to recap, cases fell 90% from their all time high with only 5% of the population vaccinated. And cases are now at 65% of their all time high ( and rising) with 65.5% of the population vaccinated. Tell me again how these trash "vaccines" cut transmission? This is the dumbest fucking time to be alive. People are confused by simple concepts like "Seasonality" and "Immunity". We also think "men" can menstruate and give birth. I have lost all hope for this bullshit woke country.

I go to work every day, in a hospital , and hear NOT ONE WORD from my fellow providers about this issue , Fauci’s blatant perjury before congress, vax mandates or anything else that really matters. I work in a sea of complacent ,self absorbed zombies who have no idea that our so called “ COVID-19 unit” is nothing but a tragic example of doing the wrong thing over and over. I am disgusted by our system of healthcare and it’s obscene monetization that suppresses any kind of real wisdom or creative problem solving. It’s a death machine with a Starbucks attached.

Tonight the die will be cast with Bidet's speech. Does the public give in against this onslaught against science and freedom that is being anticipated.

Natural immunity only lasts 90 days according to their dictates even though it is proven T-call immunity can last for decades and is more adaptable.

The lemmings will never change, they are "all in" and will NOT admit they have been had. Misery loves company and they want us all in the same boat.....

As Mark Twain said : "It is easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled."

My worry is that they will now want to 'vaccinate' all 12-15 year-olds here because they will blame the increase on school-children propagating the virus. Everyone I spoke to months ago (when I could foretell this exact thing happening) told me: 'That will never happen'. Well, it seems more and more likely now,

I am in the USA but know of 2 people in their mid 50s who suddenly died of heart attacks.It could be just a cumulative effect of the stress and lack of movement for 18 months but neither had any indication of health issues.Don’t even want to know if they are vaccinated or not ,one thing with people taking this vaccine is every time some heart issues or sudden problems occur,a part of their brain will always wonder if it was the vaccine.This is becoming quite a horrific show ,especially if it is true that Uncle Joe will require vaccine for all his underlinings.

Direct quote from Joe Biden this evening..."We're going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated coworkers." Umm...wasn't the "vaccine" supposed to be the thing that protected them?

Sorry Mr. Berenson, but I’m going to continue to write it, my money is that the vaccine is accelerating the virus response and allowing it to overcome resistance that we have instinctively, the Chinese are unhappy not just killing the elderly, obese, the medically compromised, no, they want to kill as many people as possible this time.

I don’t care if you folks think I’m a conspiracy idiot, Occam’s Razor is the vaccine is accelerating the virus…

Or, Pfizer Moderna , maybe even Johnson and Johnson have created the biggest hoax on medical care inventions in the last hundred years, and now the government wants us to have our faces stuck in the mud and told to breathe…

It looks to me like the vaccine doesn't work worth a damn. Charts cut thru the political BS.

Do we have any sort of breakdown of what percentage of these deaths are fully vaccinated and which are unvaccinated?

"Something is very, very wrong."

Indeed. And it is far deeper than almost anyone imagines. Most people seem to believe this is "all about money" or similar twaddle.

Pick up a history book soon.
