I love being in the control group of this very interesting experiment.

Gee, it almost seems as if the so-called vaccines should've been rigorously tested, and over a time period measured in years rather than weeks.

But that's just me.

This. Has. Never. Been. About. A. Virus.

Never.

They would stop it if this was about a virus or saving lives. It's never been. It doesn't get more brazen than this. President of the EU, Ursula Von Der Leyen said this last week: "building on vaccine passports technology, every EU citizen and resident in the Union will be able to use a personal digital identity wallet".

It's always been about the data passports and getting 100% of the population enrolled.

Many people have been screaming this for a week now, yet every other commercial on TV is telling me to give this garbage to my kids.

Half the country still thinks these vaxxes stop the spread. It will be absolutely impossible to convince them about the data From these countries. They hand wave this stuff away as “conspiracy nuts on substack.”

You are a hero for what you are doing, but half the country will never believe us.

Anyone listening to Senator Johnson’s meeting today would wholeheartedly agree. Eye opening.

The vaccine is the disease

My mom is one of the few 75+ seniors who is not vaccinated. Early on, I told her it was her choice, but that I wasn't going to be vaccinated until I had more long-term data to review. But she is in the risk age group (she's very healthy for 75+, mobile, lives in a guest house on my property but that's to save money not because of health). She was going to get the one-shot J&J but couldn't find it through her medical group, so she waited. And then I started reading more (about April 2021) and her brother wanted her to get the vaccine so she started thinking about it again, and I told her while it was her choice, I didn't think she should do it -- and listed all the potential side effects that people had experienced. Plus, the fact that for the two weeks after vaccination, cases and hospitalizations INCREASE (yet the government calls those people "unvaccinated.") So she didn't get it. All our older relatives (all in California) are mad at her, and one told her if she visits she'll have to wear a mask (so my mom won't visit.) Two of them have emailed or called me to tell me to tell her to get it. But they wouldn't listen to me when I explain what the risks were. One literally believes that if my mom gets COVID, she will die and tried to make me feel guilty for not encouraging her to get the vaccine. (My mom has been exposed so many times -- at least 4 -- to people who has symptomatic COVID she is likely already immune.) Now I am super happy I didn't waffle. My cousin (my age -- 50) is a health nut, a runner, and her mother browbeat her into getting the vaccine and THEN she got COVID and was extremely sick for a week (no hospital).

Gert V was all over this as was Yeadon

I hesitate to say this, but Joseph Mercola has been warning about the possibility of ADE for several months. He mentions it in his book The Truth about COVID-19, published last April. A lot of people regard Mercola as a kook, but I knew a woman who saw him while he was still practicing. He apparently cured her of several chronic problems; "he fixed me," she said.

But the TV man is still telling me it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

Alex, please, pretty please. Don't ever call positive PCR or antigen test results "infections."

I hate Fauci

The drive to boost/vax is a train that can not stop, too much money, reputation, and political power at stake. There is a concept called sticky intitution, where our elites are unable/unwilling to change due to political variables even though the conditions require it.

My primary care doctor argued with me for five minutes trying to get me to vax during my yearly checkup this week even when she KNEW I got the COVID last month. Why push it? I am a healthy 52 year old male with great blood work. Me and my wife have used the last two years to shed weight, we both had a goal of a BMI of 23. I got my referal for colon guard, and probably never see her again.

Unfortunately for humanity, their pattern has been to double down. Whether the motivations are conspiratorial in nature remain to be seen. It could just be a conspiracy of greedy, self-righteous morons, or something far sinister. Only time will tell.

For now, though, it appears that their solution is just like quicksand; the harder they flail the worse they make it. They think they're chasing down the surge, when in fact it appears they are *accelerating* the surge. Even if there was an honest enough person in government to make this analysis, they would be shouted down and no one would listen to them.

Sadly, in this case, it seems like we return once again to the same answer we've had for all of it so far: it will end when we say it ends. Enough people need to stop giving in to their fears and getting a shot every time they feel nervous.

Of this, though, I am not confident.
