I think those that "know not what they are doing," but are the ones we specifically depend on to "know what they are doing," are criminally negligent. There is no excuse.

If someone claims:

1) Sufficient knowledge and certainty to impose their will on others, and

2) Moral authority to do so

That person or group assumes moral responsibility for the consequences. No excuses of “we didn’t know” or “we meant well” will be allowed.

I wouldn't go so far as "criminally negligent," remember, it wasn't Pfizer that tried to mandate these. They made a product, specified for "outcome" by Fauci and the NIH/CDC, and then outsourced the marketing to the federal government, who stood to make billions on the sale of that product (and, more importantly, replace a failed military intervention with a new reason to print money to keep the ponzi scheme going).

That said, I completely agree that not being able to read a summary file at the very least makes you very dumb. I've been screaming for two years that I'll never understand how anyone interpreted the data from the clinical trial, THAT WAS PUBLISHED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, as saying anything other than " we didn't test, so we have no idea if it presents spread, and you are, non-statistically but still accurately, more likely to end up hospitalized and more likely to die if you take the treatment than if you're in the control." This was in the summary, and it wasn't complicated. I analyze it in WAY too much depth below, but again, I'm a nobody who can read, so how did people who literally know better, and can read, all just happen to miss it? They didn't, they were incentivized to miss it, and people will convince themselves of ANYTHING with proper incentives...

I stand by "criminal." They are paid to know. They are trusted to know. Yet, they refuse to know. They are killing people whilst assuming moral and intellectual superiority to themselves. They are imposing their will on unwilling and/or unsuspecting populations. They won't debate, they will only suppress. Smart doesn't mean good. They are the Mengele's of their generation. They need to go before tribunals. Hopefully, that will happen.

“it wasn't Pfizer that tried to mandate these”

With all due respect—and much due, seriously—what more could they possibly wish for?

Nothing - this is why socialism is so profitable. When the largest wallet in human history guarantees you profit, we can't exactly be surprised when people take it. Change doesn't start by holding Pfizer accountable - because it wasn't Pfizer that made this decision. Until we take the wallet away from the government, we'll continue to scream into the wind about bad "corporations" (they aren't corporations) and we'll continue to get more and more socialism masquerading as capitalism at the expense of the people.

With a declining global consumption base and a global-economic Ponzi scheme built on a requirement for consumption growth, our state will find any disposable mechanism (military industry complex, pharma industrial complex, energy industrial complex, I could go on) to launder money. Pfizer just happened to be the easiest option filled with the most people willing to participate in government corruption for the purposes of their own wealth. This is a story as old as human history.

Best comment. Claiming they “don’t know what they are doing” is analogous to “safe and effective. They know. And they know we know. And that don’t care. Because most of them have made massive amounts of money over the past 3 years. Some have made millions and millions.

A few body bags are easily overlooked.

They all need to be “treated” with some of their own medicine. Repeatedly.

Criminally negligent, or clinically insane.

Regardless, they're not for fit their station, and can't be trusted

Heaven help us if we ever face a legitimate threat.

Yeadon a skeptic...yeah right. He tried warning everyone and has been right on all along. Of course those on the inside of these criminal pharma cartels know what they were doing and what would come upon humanity post injection. Create the problem and come to the rescue with the only treatments allowed. Look at all the NEW injections in the pipeline now to treat VAIDS, Lyme, cancers etc. This is all well orchestrated and will assure an ongoing pipeline of profit centers. A sick society is just a better biz model and Pharma KNOWS this and has for decades

There were three easily identified frauds here and they occurred right out of the gate:

1) the intense interest in the death of a random guy in a Wuhan hospital (Jim Henson of Muppets fame died of an "unusual" pneumonia too and other than the brief headline shock of a major celebrity dying in NYC hospital, it did not trigger a "global research" response),

2) the too-fast-for-belief identification not only of what is called SARS-2 but also the purported mechanism by which it causes death

3) the notion there could be a "preventative vaccine" against mortality in the case of already very sick/medically vulnerable people to system failure caused by a weakened body's inability to clear the debris caused by a significant respiratory infection.

There was NEVER any science behind any of this.

Sorry to be glib, but to paraphrase Family Guy regarding point #1 . . . And now we have wrong-sounding muppets.

No name calling? Really? After having been called ( in no particular order) a luddite, knuckle dragger, bigot, murderer, killer, fuck-your-freedoms, narcissistic, racist, selfish, self-centered, denier, conspiracy theorist, etc etc... and being naively amazed at how violent and stupidly I was shunned by society as well as medical professionals in my own family; NOW! Alex calls for no more name calling.

Brilliant strategy, bro.

#metoo, and just sayin' I was reading Dr. Michael Yeadon Dec '20-Jan '21 and he was articulate and specific, sounding the warning bell. I highly recommend any of his blogs and podcasts.

The author who attended this Vaccine Conference was basically called an "idiot" by multiple panelists. He didn't respond in kind. But his article shows us who the real idiots are. The anecdote about the keynote speaker himself being "vaccine injured" ... and still being enraged by the "vaccine hesitant" was indeed "astonishing."

"I feel that there are huge strides that can be made towards clarity if we stop calling every single person on their side a mass murderer."

How about "Good Germans"?

"Unprincipled Dipshits"?

"Depopulation Dummies"?

"Child maimers"?

"Stab 'em and Slab 'em advocates"?

If someone doesn't understand what they are advocating, then they get what they deserve, shame, ridicule, and hate. 'They know not what they do' doesn't cut it.

Germans came to my mind too. Many people in the population--in academia, in corporate hierarchy, etc., knew, back then, what was going on, but they ignored it, or they actively participated. German doctors and other scientists were very quick to fall in line with the power narrative--which I won't name here. Scientists claimed "science" proved certain populations inferior and a threat to public health due to habits and disease. The German scientists and doctors and other intellectuals thought they had the moral and intellectual high ground... Just like what they're saying and doing today.

There's no doubt they know exactly what they are doing ... and what they have done. They can't have all gotten to these high levels and be that uninformed and that clueless ... right?

“I am past trying to argue with people who think that vaccines are not safe.”

~Peter Marks, M.D., director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

That statement coming from a medical doctor and scientist is terrifying to me.

Expand full comment

In Dr Prasad’s recent smack down video about “shot #7, where’s the data?” he says Marks should go down in history as the worst at FDA.

Prasad is an interesting case study in how effective (or not) a dissenting — though very mainstream — expert has been in persuading his colleagues. I would venture to say, not much.

I agree with not name calling. Yet, after asserting we shouldn't do this you call Dr. Mike Yeadon "paranoid". This is a gaslighting epithet meant to mark individuals with the stigma of insanity. Yeadon deserves better, and you can do better. I wish you luck in your lawsuit against Biden. You certainly deserve to win, but you need to raise your game when it comes to being consistent with your messaging.

It's the trillion-dollar question: Are all our "experts" and "authorities" really this obtuse? Or are some of them actually some kind of sociopaths or psychopaths, people who don't care if millions of people die and develop life-altering medical conditions?

Either answer would be, ah, disconcerting.

... I just finished the vaccine skeptic's article. Wow! This might be the best journalism I've read on a vaccine or Covid event ... and this man isn't even a journalist. Highly recommended. I'm glad to see it's gotten so many "likes" and reads. It shows what we're up against if we want to change the vaccine narrative. It also shows (yet again) how determined these people are to to shut all of us up.

And if you read my essay on this question, you'll see that I do give my definition of "obtuse." It's from a movie we've all seen: "Stupid is as Stupid does."

I'll take OPTION B. I'm almost certain this is the right answer. Sociopaths and psychopaths are usually smarter than the average person. These people are smart, but not good.

Let me get this straight. They call all of us grandma killers and it gets a large percentage of people to fall in line, but we call them mass murderers, which they are, and it's counterproductive? My side is a bunch of pus&%#s. Fight fire with fire.

It's actually pretty simple. Most people who have achieved a high-level position will lie to themselves and others to maintain their standing. It doesn't matter how damaging the lies are. They will just lie about the damage.

Who was it who said, "It's easy to not understand something when your paycheck depends upon it." It might have been Thomas Sowell, but I'm not sure. Could have been Benjamin Franklin, lol.

mistrust for physicians has only grown. I already regarded them as a last resort, if all home remedies fail, or of course, if you break a leg or need surgery. If there were a natural healer I would even go to them for these ailments. Recently saw a doc about natural healers in China and they do a great job - a man with a broken leg would have spent 2 months in a cast, and 2 surgeries, and the natural healer treated it with herbs and got him going in 6 weeks. The healers there have to study some regular med too, and the healer had an Xray of the fracture.

“ Obviously, name-calling is counterproductive (and the paranoid speculations of some of the loudest mRNA vaccine skeptics, like Dr. Michael Yeadon, do not help those of us trying to raise more serious objections)”

Name-calling like saying someone is paranoid?

While I appreciate evidence that adds to the side of the scale for incompetence as weighed against malice, there is too much evidence pointing at malice to ignore. The fact that medications which have a near zero side effect profile and have been administered to millions upon millions of people for decades, even as prophylaxis, was suddenly made unavailable to people actually DYING of a respiratory illness, seemingly to make sure all roads ended in a vaccine means there are other variables at play than mere ignorance of their lack of efficacy and dangerous "side effects".

Yeadon was and is a hero in this battle to get out the correct information.

If your livelihood depends on not knowing things or denying evidence that you can see with your own lying eyes — looking at every still-employed “healthcare professional” at Houston’s Methodist Hospital and TX Children’s Hospital — the discussion can’t even begin.

I mean Peter Hotez of TX Children’s is publicly saying that — as Dr Prasad eloquently summarizes — we should “clean out the refrigerator” of soon-to-expire vaccines by jabbing every infant and child possible. “Where’s the evidence?” Prasad asks for the umpteenth time.

Admittedly Hotez tops the list of arrogant fanatics but that’s what is “leading medicine” — to borrow the marketing mantra of Methodist Hospital. My point is corruption is the cancer.

The attitude of these people is no different than the attitude of most medical professionals about vaccines: they are safe and effective and if you think otherwise, shut up (or WE will shut you up). We have the most vaccinated and the unhealthiest child population in the developed (and some of the undeveloped) world. We are particularly plagued with autoimmune/inflammatory diseases (type one diabetes, juvenile-onset rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, autism, ADD). Is anybody out there in the medical establishment curious about a possible relationship? Nope! Their strategy appears to be: let's pretend it isn't happening or let's pretend it is happening but it's always been this way, nothing to see here, move on.

"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."

This quote is attributed to Mark Twain.

These words of wisdom are easily observed as truth wherever you look in everyday life. I personally believe certainty should be approached very cautiously.
