Hmmm... so this coronavirus with a 99.85 percent survival rate can only be defeated by:

The media no longer asking questions and doing journalism, and instead becoming the mouthpieces of the government

Washed up formerly rebellious artists and musicians making demands that everyone now must do whatever 'the man' tells them to do

The consolidation of state and corporate power

The strip-mining of personal liberties

The mandating of masks, social distancing, and stay at home orders

The outlawing of criticism of public health officials, big pharma, and uncensored speech

The deification of science, and the persecution of anyone debating or questioning it

The proliferation of contact tracing digging into the communications, associations, and actions of all citizens

The destruction of the world’s economy, supply chains, and work ethic

And the repeated forced injections of barely tested gene expression modifying concoctions into the arms of every person on the planet?

The hell with it, I'll put up with the virus, thanks.

The mind blower for me is that these "icons of rebellion" against the establishment of the 60's and 70's, are actually asking for CENSORSHIP? WTF? These muscisians used to be in the position of being anti government, anti war? I just can't believe they have come in to a position of asking for censorship, without even giving respect to research, factual data and the bigger picture of government mandated control. It is a total flip around of values and discernment. I am so dissappointed in Neil, Joni and now Bruce! What a wierd position they have placed themselves in.

hey berenson, I really have enjoyed Joni's music and its too bad about her. but hey how about doing something useful and compiling a list of corporations that are mandating vaccination and disseminate this list and everyone around the world who is against mandates should BOYCOTT them..

People like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have never, ever been in the real world. As celebrity pop music starts from the drug addled 60's and 70's, they are nothing but a shell of any real man or woman. This description also applies to career politicians maybe without some of the drug use. Especially true of FJB and his ilk. Zero connection to the real world and those of us making our way through it where actions and decisions have very personal consequences. Like making money and raising children. We do not need this type of person making any decisions on our behalf. The moral and intellectual elites are unfit for duty. Pray, plan, prepare and RESIST.

All these has been’s have left to get the attention they crave is there silly virtue signaling. There critical thinking ability has certainly been severely compromised. If they could only realize that the evil globalists and criminal Pharma companies that they are inadvertently serving are the very ones they railed against in their love conquers all days of the sixties and early seventies.

Nope - I won't comment on Morgellons Disease. That is absolutely not fair. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia were ridiculed but are now accepted, as was peanut allergies. Do we really know what is going on with Morgellons Disease or all other conditions? No, but that doesn't make the suffering less real, and it doesn't mean there isn't a physical cause.

What I will comment on is the audacity of Joni Mitchell & Neil Young to use their financial clout in an attempt to silence my voice and the voices of Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone who were expertly interviewed by Joe Rogan, who by the way also interviewed a pro-vaccine doctor, CNN's Sanjay Gupta. Dr. Gupta admitted that CNN lied about Joe Rogan and ivermectin.

Rogan also was sand-bagged by a pro-vax political satirist, Josh Szeps, with a questionable CDC report that contradicts what cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough reported. Rogan was gracious and only asked where did the data come from, an excellent question as the CDC is known for manipulating data with study design and other statistical tricks.

The bottomline is that Joe Rogan has been a scrupulously fair interviewer while pro-vax entities have proven themselves to be deceitful over and over.

For some of us the liberal worship of tyranny and censorship "seems like it's from outer space," Joni. It's hilarious and pathetic to see these faded celebs aligning themselves with the slave labor crowd because they want to group-hate on Rogan.

Spotify has lots of songs protesting the lockdowns and vaccine mandates, with Van Morrison and Eric Clapton’s “Stand and Deliver” and “No More Lockdown” but also “No Vaccine” by Forgiato Blow and Bryson Gray, and “I Will Not Comply” by Blind Joe to name some of the most famous ones. Why doesn’t Joni Mitchell team up with Neil Young and put out a song where they sing the virtues of requiring everyone to get vaccinated and locking up the non-compliant? I’m sure their fans would love it!

Both Joni and Neil had polio as children. I think they have an emotional investment in vaccines because they think they are like polio vaccines. Many people who have done no reading or research assume that all vaccines are sterilizing and safe. They know nothing about the history of vaccines or how often it takes years before you can say they are safe--even the polio vax was a disaster at first. I would not make fun of Joanie--there is no such thing as a purely psychological illness. Something is causing the feeling of Morgellons. It's just that doctors don't know yet what has gone haywire in the body. The list of things that were once thought to be psychological but have been shown to be real is long.

They can certainly quietly remove their music, but they are choosing to make it publicized so as to passive-aggressively elicit censorship.

This is a real disease, I know someone with it. Morgellons can be seen in blood. Particularly in the covid injected who are having neurological injury. Pretty sad that you’d mock something that’s also happening to the vaccinated- who’s injuries & data you’ve been reporting on. Here’s a research paper. I’d recommend doing a little more digging. Also look up Brit Galvin. Her Moderna injury is well documented- and so are the morgellon parasites in her blood post injury.

You'd think Berenson would be able to work out by now that c-19 isn't the first medical cover-up in the world, it's just the first one he woke up to (*along with large chunks of the community* - congrats on being semi-average) because it was so screamingly blatant. Morgellons is peer-reviewed, a type of borreliosis and *real* parasitosis. My strong suggestion to AB would be to spend a few weekends digging into the genre he now seems to want to contribute to. There has never been a chronic illness suffered by thousands-to-millions with idiosyncratic markers which has not been first blamed on the patient, then subsequently turned out to be real. (GRID anyone? How about Gulf War Syndrome?) Denial of medical care is torture and you are prolonging the suffering of those who are unable to get care in order to make a cheap shot about a celebrity.

Joni is a towering figure in music, Neil is right up there with her. But this a bad moment for both. Joni had a stroke and has had a long recovery. Morgellons is clearly a byproduct of some brain injury or other The more interesting history here is Neil Young's multi-year campaign against GMO's, genetically modified food He is outside the mainstream on this, but has the freedom to believe what he wants and say what he thinks is true. Neil's cosmology boils down to Monsanto evil, Pfizer sacred. An odd belief system, but again he's free to indulge in it. He can go to hell though for trying to prevent others from challenging it.

Joe Rogan's video statement is good, nicer than I would have been, but I'm sure he's trying to smoothe things over for Spotify, who have been more honorable than most in big tech.

Funny and stupid as this all is, it’s kind of your own doing. All of you on the other side of the marketing, influencing. and promotional celebrity glass wall (kind of like the old glass ceiling only vertical) have become so sure of your abilities to talk the rest of us into anything that you’ve lost the thread on what dopey things these anythings are. Thing of it is, the glass wall is really a one way mirror. We can see all of you but you can’t see (or even care about) us. Small wonder you drown us with surveys.

Sorry. What was the question again?

Now don’t go bashing long Covid again. My wife was the healthiest person I know. She got Covid and pneumonia and ended up in the hospital despite all the home treatment protocols we tried. 2 months later she still has no sense of taste, her platlet count is still way to high, and she has some neurological issues that are improving, but not yet resolved. So while you like to bash on long Covid, while at the same time bashing Joni M for not being a doctor, maybe you should take your own advice and avoid playing doctor b

Not that I think Joni's statement is anything other than pathetic, but I would have thought that you and the many commenters on this side of the Covid divide would have more skepticism about "consensus" opinion rather than indulge in mean-spirited piling on:

"Morgellons disease (MD) is really a dermopathy characterized by multicolored filaments that lie under, are embedded in, or project from skin. Although MD was initially considered to be a delusional disorder, recent studies have demonstrated that the dermopathy is associated with tickborne infection, that the filaments are composed of keratin and collagen, and that they result from proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts in epithelial tissue. Culture, histopathological and molecular evidence of spirochetal infection associated with MD has been presented in several published studies using a variety of techniques." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5072536/

I don't know if anyone else saw Joe Rogan on Instagram today talking about the controversy with Neil Young and Joni, but he said something really funny. First he said that he's always liked them and loves their music. and then he added that Joni's song "Chuckie's in love" is one of the best songs ever written. lol ( Ricki Lee Jones wrote it...I think he knew that)

I know I'lll be in the distinct minority, but it's good to be in the minority. It stiffens the spine. It exercises those courage muscles which like actual muscles, turn flabby with disuse. I find this post concerning Joni Mitchell to be cruel. Yes, she's infuriatingly wrong about things. We can all agree about that. But come on. She's a somewhat crazy old woman who's obviously suffering from terrible delusions. I can hardly imagine what that must feel like. When she says it feels like she's being eaten alive by, if I understand correctly, bugs from out of space, I believe her. I also think it's a good reason to cut the fragile old lady a break. Lots and lots of stuff to mock the other side with. Alex should have found a less pitiful target.

Honestly Alex I feel like you’re being needlessly callous with your attacks of what you regard as fake conditions. I know you’re mad about Joni Mitchell, but let her calls for censorship disqualify her, not her (probably genuine) struggle with disease. Please don’t lump long Covid in with things like RLS and Fibromyalgia. Restless Leg Syndrome is real! I know you’re the data guy, but there are conditions that have thus far eluded adequate explanation. Also you wind up sounding like a jerk. Please.

Nutshell...... The BIG conversation in the recent Davos zoom was how to "deal" with THEIR so-called "disinformation".... The reality of that is "We, the davos bullies, have to shut down any credibility of those who oppose their wished-for-world-view, or anyone who stimulates (god forbid!) critical thinking - hence the current "go-after' Joe Rogan........

Neil and Joni exempify how this is all playing out....... woo the baby boomers first (cos there's so many of them) with their "heroes"........... only baby boomers aren't that trucking stupid and many are well awake to their lies and manipulation - which is plain faced propaganda on a world-wide scale.

Joni's nickname minted by Crosby, Stills and Nash, was Musollini. She trashes anyone she can in a hopeless strategy to elevate herself. Neil Young is despised by anyone who has had the misfortune of working with him. He's a world class gay-hating bigot who somehow blamed gays for the AIDs virus. Both of these "icons" now take orders from their corporate overlords. Like most hippies, they were frauds capitalizing on a movement in order to promote themselves and grab as much wealth, celebrity and power as they could. Left on their own, they are horrible people. Yes, they do have a modicum of talent but they are essentially far right corporatists who are so different from their youthful selves as to be unrecognizable.

"most medical practitioners consider MD a purely delusional disorder"

It's still a *disorder*. Are we going to now tell bipolar and schizophrenic people "it's all in your head"?

There's huge pressure on Alex so I get that he cracks around the edges at times -- any of us would. But Alex please keep your eye on the ball! Lowering yourself into these inter-personal squabbles will tank your credibility (which is why they're baiting him so hard).

I m 67 and I enjoyed Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. I knew how they felt politically but it didn’t really effect me. I find this very crazy that 2 artists who sing songs about big brother watching us or in Joni’s case “looking at both sides now” would have such intense feelings for sucking up to the government and bad science. Glad I have their albums so I don’t have to buy anything to support them. I didn’t toss my Cat Stevens albums either. Ugh…

These people once had some artistic relevance. Doubtful their music will be remembered a 100 years from now. Same goes for all the other artists, outside their bounds of mental acuity, lecturing us peasants about what to put in our bodies, how to think and what to believe in. Unfortunately, the dire consequences of the evil they, and all the insidious Leftists, render will be with us for a long time. If we let them!
