By the way, I see I wrote “herd immunity” when I meant “natural immunity” in my answer. I’ll tell Angelo!

Carl Sagan, 25 years ago:

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hand of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscope’s, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness."

Natural immunity is and has been the way to go. Anecdotally, my family and I all had Covid in Nov/Dec 2020. We've lived a completely normal life throughout the pandemic including lots of travel both domestic and international. We still have not been reinfected and in fact, I still tested positive for antibodies a few months back. The fact that natural immunity has been ignored since day one is criminal.

You should ask Angelo if he thinks the press should be immune from civil liability for lying about medical treatments.

As a 65 y/o Covid survivor of the original strain who has enjoyed 15 months of pretty good health since then I will anecdotally stand with my natural immunity. No toxic witches brew for me. At the time, it just didn't seem right so once I had it and got better (not minimizing the experience as it was no fun but similar to past respiratory flu infections) I equated it with why get the flu shot just after I had the flu? Now I feel pretty smart ... :) Anyway, I am not anti vax in the traditional sense it's just these mRNA shots are so far out of bounds and the mandates were senseless government overreach that people were suspicious and double wary by then. Now it looks like we un-shot are all pretty smart. Sad for the others that swallowed the lie but sometimes, you learn the hard way. And I see hard times coming for millions. Tragic.

Fact checkers are what Edward was pointing out on steroids:

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

...

In almost every act of our daily lives ... we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons ... who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

-Edward Bernays, Master of Propoganda

I have similar conversations with people and I usually keep it simple.

First, I claim the vaccine has failed. They told us it would stop transmission and infection. It did not and no scientific paper was written to explain why all the previous papers and studies were wrong.

Second, they claim the vaccine would lead to herd immunity and this is the second reason why they are forcing everyone to be injected.

Both of those claims were false and no retraction was given. They are even now still forcing people to take the two year old injection or not get a job?

Please Angelo why are people being coerced to take an injection that does not prevent infection or transmission and does not give you herd immunity?

Naturally produced antibodies = bad. Vaccine induced antibodies = good. Who thinks like this?

"Hey Angelo! Now show us the email inquisitions you laid upon Fauci, Walensky, Bourla, and other Covidiots after THEY each uttered patent lies and provable falsehoods? AND, show us their answers.

Whatcha got?"

Having a hard time keeping up with the evidence of vaccine failure,a study out of Israel is basically saying the vaccines are making things worse,people dropping dead “suddenly “ or coming down with Covid 2 to 3 times in a row.You will never pop the bubbles of people living behind the gates of the gatekeepers .However at this time I seeing an incredible amount of speculation among general public and “normmies “ ,seems like a dam is about to collapse.

When Angelo was a child, his Mommy asked him what he wanted to do when he grows up - I want to be a fact-checker for the AP, Mommy. Oh for f**k sake, Angelo, as she wiped his arse.

This "fact checker" is obviously too ignorant to formulate a relevant question, so he asks you to explain generalities, which he will call "false" because he's too uninformed to understand your

response. This person is probably a recent graduate of a very expensive college.

Angelo is probably a 20 something, just out of college, I know everything, you know nothing, woke liberal.

Thank you, Alex, for this very concise and professional (Journalistic), response to an obvious hack. I have a close acquaintance who is a surgeon. I've been sending him the articles you've posted on substack. He's definitely in your corner but when I've spoken to him on the subject it appears to be much worse than we think.

This is some of my favorite content as it sheds light onto the entire “fact checking” business. Who checks the fact checkers? Who are these “experts” Angelo is referring to? Find one guy or gal who disagrees with Alex, publish Alex as spreading “misinformation” and publish your AP story.

How dare someone offer an explanation for a phenomenon we are all observing?

I mean, I actually KNOW fully vaccinated people who were boosted, caught covid, and then went and got a second booster WITH THEIR DOCTOR'S APPROVAL. Why not fact check THEM?
