It's a cult. No amount of evidence or lack thereof is enough to shake the covidian faith.

Seriously. At this point if something happens to you or your child, it’s your own fault. The evidence these shots are useless at reducing the impact of a Covid infection, but pose grave harm to the injected, is evident. No amount of blaming censorship justifies refusing to believe one’s own eyes (and for the jabbed, personal experience). No one takes the “ experts” seriously anymore, particularly on this. The “experts” are nothing more than a weak justification for the Covidians to keep practicing their nihilistic religion.

The Covidians have not shown any willingness to put their health, the health of their family or the general public above their mission. Their willingness to support harmful treatment options like Remdesivir, to support a coordinated campaign against harmless treatment options like Ivermectin, to support vaccinating children with mRNA, to support the campaign to ignore natural immunity, and finally, supporting lockdowns and mandates which might end up doing more long term damage than the vaccines or covid. I am not exaggerating when I say that I firmly believe that a not so small percentage of the Covidian cult would sacrifice themselves and members of their own family before they would admit how wrong they were/are.

You've hit pretty much every detail these tyrants have pushed to satisfy their Covid gods. But this is only one chapter in the playbook. The climate change zealots who will sacrifice their children to the sun and wind gods to save "indigenous " crops in Lahaina , the race baiters looking to divide us into their prescribed little groups, the alphabet mafia who would sacrifice your kids to their sick and perverted doctrine. And that's only a few. So what's my point? The is a common denominator to all these insane power plays, our Marxist government and the beauocracies they create to do their dirty work. Here's a quote from a real journalist on December 19,1776.

"THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated." Thomas Paine

To change now would require these imbeciles to ADMIT they were wrong, and their potions are dangerous.

What we need to guard against now is if schools/colleges/businesses try to again mandate these shitty injections.

They won’t admit they are wrong because the retribution they might receive could be catastrophic for them. So they are living proof that the best defense is a good offense. Besides, their attitude is “what is the big deal about a little bit of myocarditis among friends?”

With near one-party rule she found power is not yet absolute. Despite some of the harshest mitigation methods applied, the state ranked among the highest death rates, likely because of culture and poverty. So another generation of kids denied education will be mired in poverty. OTOH, many citizens think she did a fine job in saving her state and re-elected her. Good that local courts are faster than the feds in shutting her order down, Like Biden issuing clearly illegal orders she thought the court delay would give her order time to arrest a few people to make a point.. Wrong on Covid, wrong on guns.

That would mean they could not have executed the already planned agenda. The agenda has nothing to do with what is the right thing to do for humanity as you know. People have to realize and accept this reality. These psychopathic entities have zero concern for what "we the people" think or want from them. Its never been about doing the RIGHT thing for humanity. This is and always has been a cold and calculated agenda and until "they" are actually stopped we get more of the same. Its not rocket science and never has been. Its all simply "allowed" to continue

So the same incompetent government who approved these made sure that only valid votes were cast in 2020? Got it. Not saying I like Trump, but let's be real. Government is incompetent and I am getting sick of people saying there is no evidence of voter fraud. I want Desantis in 2024 and Trump blew the Covid response and deserves to pay the price, but this doesn't mean the Dems didn't cheat in 2020 and will do it again in 2024.

How so FEW realize the importance of Florida is surreal to me too. Imagine IF DeSantis had lost that razor thin election to the Tallahassee felon in 2018 just where Florida would have gone and most of America in the great 2020 plandemic. RD was crucial with his F OFF mentality and standing up to the puppet agenda in Washington. Why ALL red state Governors did not model Ron tells it all. Noem in S.

If we don't have freedom and liberty nothing else matters after that. Trump has not shown the correct instincts to preserve these. I'll vote for him because he is better than the alternative, but he created massive inflation and infringed on all of our freedom and liberties for too long during Covid. People who support him need to remember history and then ask him what he is going to do differently this time if faced with the same decisions.

Vax was released after Trump.

There was almost 0 inflation during Trumps term.

You lost me at the Vax, but then also saying 0 inflation during Trump's term? So printing 7 trillion during his term did not lead to inflation?

I shake my head. My fellow readers over at The Dispatch, are all mostly true believers. I sent some stats to them in the comment section and got reemed. I mentioned you as a source of solid investigative journalism, with CDC source data, and one guy sent me The Atlantic article on you. We all know how much The Atlantic loves Alex! 🤦‍♂️

Every time I post one of Alex's substack articles, I get someone who'll post that Atlantic article to "prove" that I shouldn't believe anything Alex says. Drives me crazy. Alex has been right 95%+ of the time and when he's wrong, he admits it (except on Ivermectin/HQC ... LOL) and yet the true believers just keep telling me I'm an idiot for listening to anyone other than the CDC. Including my cousin who has had 5 shots/boosters and is very, very sick with COVID ... for the third time. (But, according to her, if she didn't have the shots, she's probably have died, so yeah shots!)

I have 5 kids -- my one who lives in NYC has had 4 (maybe 5) shots. I told her not to. She thinks I've gone all "anti-vaxx" (I'm not -- I'm just opposed to certain vaccines ...) My New Yorker has had COVID twice within months of the second shot and then the booster. And she still doesn't listen to me because "the vaccine prevents long COVID" and she has friends who have "suffered" with long COVID. Argh. She's a college grad in a good profession and just thinks I'm letting my politics interfere with my common sense. Hmmm ... pot, meet kettle.

Those who trust the shots get their news from the mainstream left wing media. They don’t even know what myocarditis is because it is not something mentioned by their trusted sources of information.

It's pretty astounding that the CDC is pushing to new jabs, conducting themselves as if all the previous ones were a huge success and none of us knows anything of the adverse effects and overall failure of their previous efforts. That Dr. Cohen claims she and her family plan to get jabbed tells me everything I need to know about HER. A lot of fools will roll up their sleeves once again, yet I do know a lot of thrice jabbed who absolutely will not do it again.

It's a gorgeous day here in Arlington with the sun shining and a nice breeze. I had to drop something off at our local UPS store where a number of patrons as well as employees were masked up. Truly a surreal scene. One would have thought a plague was descending upon us necessitating extreme, albeit futile measures. No doubt we have here strong candidates for the booster shots. The lunatics among us are ready to jump off the COVID cliff like the lemmings they are proving that there is no cure for stupid. I was glad to get out of there lest the evident insanity were contagious.

Sadly, I pray for the nerve to walk up to masked people in public places and say, "You know what? It really isn't safe out here! Good thing you're masked! Who knows what you might contract? You should probably stay home." If they want to project fear and think a stupid mask is going to save them then I'm all in to playing to that fear. (But the God fearing side of me says that isn't nice, so I bite my tongue.)

Always amazed that none of the maskers ever cites the Bangladeshi study that did show a slight risk reduction with masks. Could it be because the authors clearly and unequivocally state in the opening paragraph that ther is NO evidence until their study that masks made a difference?

Years ago, the Catholic Church tried to come up with an explanation as to why Jews have largely been resistant to converting to Catholicism. They came up with the doctrine of "invincible ignorance" to suggest that their ratiocinative powers and freedom of the will had been so overwhelmed that they were just congenitally incapable of 'seeing the light.' Well, the stooges who persist in pursuing the COVID god that failed looks to me like a palpable modern analog to the theory the Church had dreamed up.

1: The CDC is pushing for another round of injections this fall.

2: The injections are similar in design to the first round of killer-jabs.

3: The only evidence the CDC has that they are "safe and effective" are 20 mice and Mandy.

4: If they are ready to "roll them out" over the next couple of months, that means they have already made them. Hundreds of millions - maybe billions - of them.

4a: Smart companies do not make a lot of new and expensive things unless they know their things will sell.

4b: Smart companies do make a lot of new and expensive things when they know that their things are already bought and paid-for by the US government using US taxpayer's money.

5: Are these "boosters" (that word scares me) covered under the original Emergency Use Authorization?

5a: If so, why? On May 11, 2023, something in the basement of the White House declared that the emergency was over.

5b: If not, then the magicians who make these potions cannot claim civil immunity under an EUA because an emergency no longer exists. The thing in the basement said so.

Among the worst outcomes of this ongoing fiasco, is the squandering of trust and confidence I once had in our public health bureaucracy. There was a time in my life when I believed what my government told me. Those days are long gone. My GP now refuses to even discuss Covid jabs. If you ask him, as I did, he simply won't talk about them. Covid boosters are literally not open for discussion. Where does this leave us?

I am a retired pediatric pulmonologist. I read substack in depth. Most commentators are sadly over the top. Alex frequently violates common sense and check out my comment today. I agree that the total loss of respect for the entire medical profession is a terrible complication of the entire pandemic, some of it earned and some collateral damage. Shame on your GP for refusing to counsel his patients. If he/she does not want to engage in prolonged and friutless conversations. however, he/she could post his perspectives on the internet to allow his patients to know his/her opinions or advice. In addition, I think that the silence of >95% of physicians on Tony Fauci et al is scandalous and implied passive agreement. That is not acceptable considering the mounting evidence of dishonesty and willful ignorance on his part.

Does he refuse to discuss the jabs because they obviously work, or because they obviously don't work?

I posted this on Vinay's substack this morning but it seems relevant here too.

In the past few days, the Wall Street Journal has had articles about the new COVID boosters.

I wrote to them about one of the articles.

You wrote a lovely press release for Moderna and Pfizer! I didn't realize the WSJ pays it reporters to write press releases though.

Don't you wonder and don't you think people want to know what "should" means in your sentence "Vaccine specialists say the updated shots should protect against strains now circulating."

What trials were conducted? What evidence is there that the booster will actually lower the chance of hospitalization and death in someone who has already been vaccinated and has had COVID?

Don't you think that your readers would want to know that Dr Paul Offit, a member of the FDAs COVID vaccine advisory panel says in Science, that he, aged 72, will not get the fall booster.

Your "article" is a great press release but lousy reporting.
