"But, deep down, I think I believed that being vaccinated (and boosted) would keep me from getting Covid-19 AT ALL."

That's because you were exactly and emphatically told those things multiple times and coerced to take shots on pain of your job and freedom on that basis.

"Why? Not sure, honestly."

It's okay. Just blame the unvaccinated for the suffering you've experienced for voluntarily swallowing 2 years of lies. It certainly wasn't your Democrat leaders' faults, and it certainly wasn't your own choice to indulge your utterly dysfunctional fear and anxiety that has bracketed your life since long before COVID.

Fuck these people and their "revelations." Fuck their awakenings.

Apologize for all the people you judged, ostracized, and cut out of your life. Apologize for your fanaticism and bullying and willful stupidity.

Then we'll talk.

Hmmm, it's almost as if the vaccines are at best a therapeutic with waning efficacy and a terrible side effect profile, eh?

The reality is myself and many people reading this don't deal in bullshit. We only want the brutally honest truth. We don't give a fuck about party lines. We know trump is a very flawed man but that the democrats are worse. I remember the liberals going nuts over the lockdown protests in April of 2020, all the while staying silent when the BLM protests came six weeks later with numbers of people that were 1000x greater than the April protests. I remember people stating you couldn't die of covid if you were vaccinated, I remember people saying you couldn't spread covid if you were vaccinated. I'm a former liberal myself, I was indoctrinated in my younger years that Republicans are all evil, racist, money hungry people who don't give a fuck about the poor and minorities. I'm embarrassed I ever voted Democrat. It truly has become a cult. I used to wonder why so many people would kill themselves because a madman like Jim Jones said so. After the last 19 months I can understand why. When Twitter and fbook censor you for telling blatant truths about covid, why in the hell is that giving me confidence about putting that "vaccine" into my body?

I think this quote is appropriate here. “Dr. Joseph Goebbels wrote that ‘A lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’ Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Fauci and his minions. RFK Jr exposes the decades of lies.”

The worst part is, there are so many like him. I have people in my neighborhood who didn't go out for almost a year and are scared to death of getting the virus, including their teenage children. So, as much as I roll my eyes at their choice of "information to believe," I can't help but wonder the damage it has caused to the generation that has parents like Cillizza? No wonder they are hopeless and depressed and committing suicide at record rates. What have they done?

My wife has a coworker who went through the same feeling. 100% masker outside of home. Boosted. Got sick a few weeks ago and tested positive. She was totally shocked. Started to regret her decisions over the past 2 years. She said "I should have been living my life this whole time!"

He didn't "miscalculate", he as misled by everyone who was permitted to speak by big tech and the media. Look at the December 11, 2020 press release from Pfizer. It's a self-congratulatory note about being the first vaccine authorized to "PREVENT COVID-19". They weren't hedging about serious illness, transmission, hospitalization. They said "PREVENT". And anyone paying attention knew that was bullshit since the summer when breakthrough cases exploded in Israel and the UK. Thanks to Alex Berenson for being a major voice to get the truth out about that. On a personal front, my pfully pfizered wife caught the Wu Flu during the last week of September and lucky unvaccinated me had his first symptoms a week after she dd. The vaccines are neither safe, nor effective.

I just read all 200+ comments.

I'm struck by the ANGER and FURY that has been unleashed.

Perhaps this is the real backlash for which I've been waiting. I've repeatedly asked myself, When will people finally say 'ENOUGH?'

And by 'people' I mean, vaccinated, unvaccinated, 'vaccine-hesitant,' masked, unmasked, parents of school-age children, covid recovered, etc. ETC.

Have we finally reached The End?

Man, I sure hope so!

Top notch observation Chris! It’s not like anyone got banned from Twitter for actually doing journalism six months ago. 🤔

Alex, look at the NFL this weekend. They are scrambling, rescheduling games, because there’s an outbreak of infections. Dozens and dozens of players are all testing positive right now. All at the same time. Most all are vaxxed since it was an NFL requirement. Let’s see, they started camp and mandating all players get jabbed back in June, about six months ago. Seems about the right time for this to be happening. Almost like clockwork.

What's truly terrifying is that there are people genuinely just realizing this.

Expand full comment

Yup. Just read an op-Ed in the Atlantic that the “journalist” felt betrayed that he got Covid after getting two doses of the vaccine and being so careful. He described getting better after a week or so. Symptoms seemed on par with a weak flu or bad cold. Then he said he got boosted…

But then admitted that likely he’ll get Covid every year and we just have to accept it

So if the ultra woke, blue checks are finally realizing that vaccines are shit, then team reality is gonna start winning more. And how the vaccine mandates are still on the table with how bad the vaccine failure is (see 100% vaxxed colleges closing due to Covid) then hopefully the vaccines will be scrapped too. At least the mandates.

The only think shocking to me is we’re going on nearly two years here, and these people are more irrationally terrified than ever. You’d think they’d have started asking questions about this Convid scam long ago, but no. Personally my patience has long run out, I feel nothing but disgust for them now. I will neither wear nor inject their fear. I’m done.

Anybody who blindly trusts companies that can pay BILLIONS of dollars in fines for fraud and criminal conduct -- as Pfizer and Johnson & Jonson have done -- deserve to be made to look like idiots. At least there is some hope for those people once they admit they've been taken by snake oil salesmen. It's the ones who still don't "get it" that we need to worry about.

I just got back from a Zoom memorial for my uncle who despite being fully jabbed caught Covid around Thanksgiving and sadly passed away 3 weeks later. He was immediately vented as soon as he was hospitalized and given the deadly Remdesevir. I told his daughters (my cousins) to look into the FLCCC protocol but they refused to listen. I have a fully jabbed cousin trying to get pregnant using IVF and is being encouraged by others to get the booster. As the oldest of 12 cousins, they have always looked up to me and asked for my guidance and advice for all their big life decisions. But now as I watch them make these dangerous mistakes from jabbing themselves and their toddler children to their total refusal to try early treatment, it kills me that before this plandemic they trusted my judgment completely and now because of their vaccine fanaticism all those decades of trust are gone. There is nothing I can do. I’ve been effectively muzzled because I know nothing I say will change their mind

Maybe Chris could even crack open a book about his “beloved Saint” Fauci sometime. How might hd process that?

Chris, I hate to break it to you but not only do the mRNA's don't prevent Covid, but they also change your immune system forever. Be careful next time you get a sniffle, because your immune system may be parked in neutral.

I actually feel sorry for him. People are so wrapped up in their ideologies that they have no clue about what is really going on. That would be me if in 2012 I never researched the George Zimmerman case, I found a website that opened my eyes to the reality of narrative engineering. It was quiet the education. One of my oldest and best friends got COVID, her whole family got it, she is like me a Trump supporter but unlike me she was totally unprepared. I told her what to take where to find it, I gave her a link to monoclonal antibodies sites in her area and she thought it was just going to be a cold or something and ignored my advice. I even sent her some vitamins, A weeks later she is still sick but is starting to take my advice (a little late) because some people she knows (not her family) died from COVID. She is unvaccinated and i think she is mad (maybe even at me) for not getting the vax. I am vaxxed and wish I wasn't but I have a plan and i am prepared should I get sick thanks to people on sites like this who provide links to important therapies. It still angers me that the push is all about vaccines and not therapies because people are and have died unnecessarily due to the greed of govt bureaucrats and the drug companies. Please say a prayer for my friend and her family that they get through this soon. Thanks.

Let's hope the supreme court rules accordingly to block the Brandon workplace mandate once and for all. I'm extremely disappointed in Kavanaugh and Barrett so far. This issue alone will determine if they were good or horrendous appointments. There is no way to find redemption for them if they blow this.

Yeah, gonna have to agree this whole reality thing is a tough jab to take. Weird explaining to my DIL (3rd yr resident Duke Med) whose father, uncle, aunt, cousin are all MD’s that subjecting themselves & patients to multiple exposures to life threatening adverse events is way worse than just getting Da’Rona & treating it with cheap therapeutics.

It’s like he’s struggling to let all the information we knew about vaccines - I mean drug therapies for viruses - prior to this scamdemic back into his tiny brain again. Almost like a truth virus is starting to take hold. :)

This is astonishing only because the simple truth he professes to have just perceived has been perfectly evident to all who shoulder common sense and a healthy skepticism regarding herd thinking. Mr. Cillizza is an infant. God alone knows what other fantasies he self-comforts himself with.

Even my own doctor's office has changed its stance on the vaccines. "Oh, they're just to keep you out of the hospital." Far cry from "You won't catch the coof with a vaccine!" Uh huh.

Me too, I,as a physician, failed miserably, in thatIdidn't read the Phizer & Moderna studies before getting vaccinated. After seeing what has happened since I was vaccinated, I regret making that decision.. I had to travel a kot in 2020-21, & took HCQ prophylactically... At this point I would never consider the current "boosters"

I live in Manhattan, and have not gotten the vaccine(s). Now I have 20+ years as an Autism Dad of a son who was "vaccine injured", so I simply have prior knowledge that led me to that decision.

My Dad was an Infectious Disease Doctor, so it was not some instant "that was it" for me. My wife was on "vaccine damage" discovery way before me.

This is the way I see it: 1) Some vaccines work for sure, not for all, but certainly they are worth the risk. 2) Some vaccines are silly, and are just there because of the 1986 Vaccine Act which removed liability from #BigPharma 3) We REALLY need to look at the Vaccine Schedule. I took probably 8 shots in the 60's-70's when I grew up. Now there are at 54+ shots on the CDC Schedule, and some of those combine 2-3 shots so it is more than that in reality. The point is, we need a study on the CUMULATIVE effects of the Vaccine Schedule since the 1986 Vaccine Act. It has NEVER been done for the obvious reason that Big Pharma does not want the answer. They point to "numerous studies", but there is NO CUMULATIVE STUDY. You can't keep pouring toxins in people's bodies and expect the same results. 4) I still maintain hope that Covid will cause a re-set of #BigPharma and #BigFood. What "We The People" put in our bodies should be our choice, we need REAL information to make those choices, and we need to start having REAL conversations about it.

Finally, in my daily life I focus on my son's Friends with Autism to build a purposeful life for them. It's relatively easy in comparison to what Alex Berenson, RFK Jr, Great Barrington Threesome, and others have done for us. I am genuinely amazed at the amount of crap they can take.
