Despite the serious subject, your post made me laugh about the little mistakes that make us all so very human. Sorry Twitter has dumped you again but it’s their loss. Please keep telling the truth to those of us hungry to hear it. Have a relaxing weekend. Take time to enjoy your family. PS. I loved when you called Tucker “Twitter” 😂
Can’t wait for your piece on Vaccine vs natural immunity. I just chuckle when I read about how the unvaccinated are spreading Covid. I might have believed it at one time, but in the last 3 weeks I know of personally 10 people who are vaccinated that are sick and some of them very sick with Covid. I only know a couple of unvaccinated that got sick. The symptoms and severity was about the same. So much for the vaccine preventing Covid. In fact in two cases the Vaccinated got sick first and gave it to the unvaccinated.
I saw the piece last night and I did not think you meant your daughter got a Covid vax, I just got the impression you were signaling that your family is not anti-vax or not forgoing all vaccines. The over-reaching Pandemia folks are trying to label anyone with common sense as anti-vax wackos.
The number of shots your daughter received today, that my own young son has received in a single doctor’s visit, is more doses/shots than my father got from birth til Vietnam.
Thanks for keeping us posted. With all the resurgence of mask mandates, it would be very helpful if you could re-issue and update the research data on mask effectiveness. Although we are beginning to see some questions on the vaccine effectiveness in the media, I haven't seen a word about masks simply not working to prevent the virus. There's a little bit about the damaging effects of mask wearing, at least on conservative media, but no one is addressing the central question of whether a mask even stops the virus to begin with. I really appreciate everything you were doing to try to bring truth to peoples attention.
My son’s school (Michigan State) just mandated vaccines for all students, faculty and staff. My son had covid and has natural immunity. I feel so helpless. He’s so excited to go but does not need nor want the vaccine. I do not see how a university (with a medical doctor for a president!) can do this in good conscience! Which of course I realize is not what we’re dealing with here.
What would have happened if we had never locked down? We don't have to guess. Sweden serves as an example.
Recall a year ago, all the pundits were mocking Sweden for their no-lockdown approach. You haven't heard them mentioned in the news lately, have you? That should tip you off right there.
An excerpt: Sweden, of course, was maligned in 2020 for foregoing a strict lockdown. The Guardian called its approach “a catastrophe” in the making, while CBS News said Sweden had become “an example of how not to handle COVID-19.”
I consider deaths/million population as the key numbers, and list them in parentheses. A year ago Sweden did indeed look kind of of scary - 8th worst of all countries (568). The only developed countries with worse numbers were Italy (581), UK (608), and Spain (608).
Six months ago, Sweden had dropped to 23rd place (1270), behind France, (1281), Lichtenstein (1415), Spain (1479), Hungary (1550), US (1555), Portugal (1600), Italy (1616),UK (1813), and Belgium (1904).
Today, Sweden is in 42nd place (1451). Following are France (1658), Portugal (1701), Spain (1743), US (1852), UK (1913), Poland (1988), Italy (2118), Belgium (2178), and Hungary (3108).
Sweden's situation is improving over time. Many of the other nations that have moved up the bad list have had extreme lockdowns. What was their pay-off?
Explain it to me again - why do the brilliant people making government policy think more lockdowns are the solution?
On first hearing your Tucker interview, my mouth dropped open. I think Tucker interpreted your comments the same way. I backed it up and heard you correctly! Don’t you hate it when you have to send two emails to a group! People are so sensitive about their email traffic. Keep telling the truth Alex, no matter how many clarifications you send!
My family’s Token Liberal Lawyer (triple whammy) sent a group text to all of us linking to the CNBC reporting of the “dreaded” Massachusetts outbreak. Applying critical thinking is a lost skill. I typed a reply with the missing elements of fact in their story…..then I erased it and hit shift/delete. My first instinctual reply was “Masks don’t work” and I am not wearing a effing MASK”. Deleted those too. Fear mongering is not a list skill. In my liberal guys defense, he is legitimately terrified!

Thanks for all you are doing Alex. We are entering possibly the most frightening times humanity has ever seen.

How about putting all your Tweets (or things you would tweet) on Substack so I never have to open my Twitter app again.

Alex - would u consider going on telegram also??
Take a moment and read this about Sweden. They are the control group in this worldwide experiment.
And the results are quite clear.

Alex, what you're doing is heroic. Thanks. And keep it up.

My hero!!! Keep it up..we need you!
I’m glad to hear it , I was a bit startled ! I felt you were a bit rattled by Twitter again ! I too liked it when you called Tucker , Twitter .

This story from an obscure media source tells us something: Daily COVID Deaths in Sweden Hit Zero, as Other Nations Brace for More Lockdowns https://fee.org/articles/daily-covid-deaths-in-sweden-hit-zero-as-other-nations-brace-for-more-lockdowns/
An excerpt: Sweden, of course, was maligned in 2020 for foregoing a strict lockdown. The Guardian called its approach “a catastrophe” in the making, while CBS News said Sweden had become “an example of how not to handle COVID-19.”
I did some spreadsheet abuse on the numbers. The source data is in https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/rate-confirmed-cases-vs-rate-confirmed-deaths?tab=table&time=2020-07-31
I consider deaths/million population as the key numbers, and list them in parentheses. A year ago Sweden did indeed look kind of of scary - 8th worst of all countries (568). The only developed countries with worse numbers were Italy (581), UK (608), and Spain (608).

Thanks. It was a quick interview covering a lot of important ground.
I did come away from the interview understanding that daughter received a Covid vaccine shot…
Your point is now clarified…
All good..
