The virus botherers and the vaccinators draw in untold millions in grants, count among their ranks some of the most well-compensated mass and social media personalities in the world, they've made billions supporting coercive vaccination programs and selling shitty pharmaceuticals to governments all over the world, they're complicit in all manner of human rights violations and economic destruction – but the gRIfTerS are a few bloggers with relatively modest online readerships.

Balloux cultivates an online following via a careful balancing act that I doubt convinces anyone on any side of this discussion. It always feels like he's self-consciously throwing a bone to one crowd or the other.

This "professor" is a perfect example why the gap between a person's intelligence and their education level is growing ever wider.

After three years of waking up every morning angry, sad and hopeless, the only person who has consistently made me laugh with his entertaining and sometimes bratty use of adverbs adjectives and nicknames interspersed in his unrelenting exposes on the crimes big Pharma, government and public health officials have committed against us all in the name of Covid, yeah I can forgive Alex for making a good living as a writer.

“and will chase what I think is the truth even if it’s likely to annoy you”

Fact Check true. Alex’s take on Ivermectin is annoying, but I still subscribe for all the other great work he does. He seems to revel in pissing off his supporters, but I’m here for the affliction he inflicts on the comfortable…

True Alex, you certainly are annoying.

A few weeks ago I came across a tweet by Balloux, saying it was now a good time to "take stock" of the effectiveness of the injections he has been avidly championing. Of course he went on to say they have been a huge, massive, overwhelming and unmitigated success etc. But ... the thing is: he never originally professed any doubt about them and always said they were 100% necessary, 100% safe and 100% effective. So ... why "take stock" now? Or at any time? Freudian slip.

You're not a grifter, your TDS turns you into an idiot sometimes, but you're not alone with that ailment.

The entire Left has that sickness.

I’m a paid subscriber, but find you to be one of the more generous well-read Substackers out there!

Alex, I think you are one of the few people in the world that kept America from descending into a tyrannical nightmare of draconian medical responses to the Plandemic.

Without you shouting from the rooftop about the virus scam, the mask scam, the PCR scam, the vaxx scam, the Twitter scam, I'm pretty sure not many people would have questioned the government and resisted the Covidmania that almost completely wrecked the US.

This is a true comparison:

Mask salesmen-grifters

PCR salesmen-grifters

Alex Berenson-Patriot

I don't agree with you on everything, but you will always have my respect and thanks for what you have done.

At first I was not a paid subscriber of Unreported Truths. The turning point for me was when Alex decided to sue Twitter. The results were well worth the subscription fee.

Heck, I give you money even though you are wealthier than I am, and you annoy the crap out of me because you refuse to admit that Ivermectin (which, if you recall, saved my life) is an effective treatment against the Rona. And yes, I part with my $$ voluntarily because I believe in Unreported Truths and want you to have a voice. Mostly, my support is meant as a big middle finger to all the Branch Covidians.

I'm a paying subscriber and bought all your Unreported Truths booklets and Pandemia. I agree with you on virtually everything but I think you shat the bed with the tweet about that woman with the tremors.

I was tracking closely the data from Ontario Canada (pop-15M) until it was pulled when the hospitalization/deaths of vaxed/unvaxed per population inverted. Average age of death was 85Y, hospitalization was 72Y.

But over 80% were obese. That's a heck of a VENN diagram. And this is why the US/UK were hit so hard. Obesity in China is around 10% (mostly in the cities) and in the USA was at 41%., UK it's 31%. France is 20%, and Germany is the fattest at 25%.

And we are told it is genetic - so why are our European and African relatives so much thinner?

I'd wager that 75% of the subscribers here could expose the inconsistencies in Francois Balloux's Covid positions in about 5 minutes... that's how bad it's gotten. They can't maintain even a minimum amount of credibility if they admit how wrong they have been and how unwilling they were to look at things objectively so it's a real catch 22. They have two bad choices.... continue to live in an alternate universe where the jabs work, lockdowns work, natural immunity doesn't exist, remdesivir is effective and healthy young people are at risk from covid -or- look like a complete incompetent fool by admitting the truth. Almost 100% choose the first option.
