And yes, I know it’s Nikole Hannah-Jones. Her Twitter handle seems more appropriate under the circumstances.

"’I'd ask her myself, but I am not allowed" is hilarious. The absolute panic I'm seeing among these people, walking around in masks outdoors again (in winter mind you), driving around with a mask alone in a car and desperately trying to keep dissonance from creeping in as the Moronic (Omicron) variant rages among the vaxed; these are interesting (and dangerous) times.

Airport for Xmas travel was a riot. Lots of double-masked people looking in terror at anyone eating. Lots of thirsty wokies with their fresh N-95s, do they even care that what they were told to wear for 2 years they are now told doesn't really work? No. They don't care at all. Had a great Xmas with family and no worries myself.

Have y'all noticed that a year ago their reasoning was always, "I wear my mask to protect you." Now that we know that asymptomatic spread is just not happening (although most of us thought that was ridiculous on its face from the beginning), they've dumped the homemade cloth masks and moved on to the N95s to protect themselves. Yet, they still want all of us wearing them, I guess for different reasons now. I honestly can't keep up with the insanity and lack of common sense.

I used to work in the chemicals industry and we had to wear full face twin cartridge respirators. Totally effective for what they were designed for, but not against viruses.

When I tried to explain that this masking thing was all made up because they were telling us to wear what amounts to a brazier cup for protection, when a 400 dollar twin cartridge respirator would not, I got either blank stares or that "protect you" line. At that point there is no reason to talk about 15 minute sampling periods or the testing we had to go through to show our respirators were working to protect us. These people are in The Matrix and they don't want out. But I can't help but think if someone did a show on what we had to go through in the name of safety, maybe a few more people would be red pilled.

They were serious about safety. Not because they gave a shit about us, but because they wanted to make sure that if someone got cancer or some other disease in the future, that person would not be able to sue the company. Ignoring personal safety regs got you fired right there. How many of these companies selling face diapers will go on record and say their products protect anyone from anything? I think that's how you get Fauci because all of these mask companies that get sued will point to him. They should all be sued.

I've never been in an occupational setting where I've had to wear such a device, but your explanation is exactly what I have understood - that they must be fitted correctly, they can only be worn for a certain amount of time, etc. Wearing the Mickey Mouse mask that your mom sewed for you was never going to do anything. How ridiculous that so many bought into that.

My church just banned the choir again. 🙄🙄 Singing in the choir loft under 100 foot ceilings? Very dangerous. Must be stopped.

I can't believe this is still going on.

Expand full comment

And by the Wizard of OSHA the only way a respirator is considered effective and approved for use requires fit testing. Which is not, and never has been, a consideration by the maskodites as that would require actual thought

Right, and forget all the people with beards. No seal. Their beard is their mask.

What’s particularly hilarious is seeing a guy with a bushy beard, wearing a cloth mask or a bandanna.

See what happens if they wore this in a chemical plant, near an OSHA official or plant manager.

Oliver is on to something big. We know they've insulated Big Pharma from any legal consequences that (do) occur from their products. But, what about the mask companies? I would LOVE to see a civil suit filed against a mask company for negligence. That needs to happen.

I've considered this myself. And what of all the schools, restaurants, churches, businesses requiring you to wear one to enter? How on earth are they qualified to dispense medical advice, let alone require a medical device?

Expand full comment

To add to the above, what ASTM or ISO standard does their "Safety Equipment" adhere to? It's either safety equipment and regulated or its just fashion. That's a question you can ask places that require masks. "What ASTM or ISO standard do you require the masks in your establishment to adhere to?"

Wow! Exactly! Burning books and shutting doors to reality has never worked out well for the perpetrators nor for their victims.

I don't think they realize how they've been had. They do not remember the big promises made for the vaccines. That went down the memory hole. Now they tell you oh I won't get as sick as you because I'm vaxxed and you're not. I don't think they're experiencing any dissonance at all. When you have no memory, you suffer no dissonance.

I know she is not “funny” but I got a kick out of her retweets. One was Dr. William Horne, illustrious Editor of the Activist Review. He said we should thank Jim Crow for allowing the Democrats to have such a small margin in the house. I called him a doofus. Then I Said if we should thank Jim Crow for that “Thank you Jim Crow!”. I know it was horrible and the retribution was bitchy and swift. He said “when someone tells you they are a piece of shit racist, then you should believe them.” I replied (couldn’t help it) “I believe you!” He blocked me.

"People are not dying from the vaccine." -Donald Trump

Expand full comment

Well, he was always between a rock and hard place on this one. Not knowing how bad it would be, working on vaccines was ok. He wants to take credit for it so he doesn't want to say anything derogatory, but they will hang him with it eventually, so he should be saying he did the best he could, no mandates, and that they should be investigating injuries. Just vaccinating high risk people. There's a middle ground he should take because eventually this will all go bad.

Expand full comment

Trump is arrogant, always believing he can fix every problem with sheer force of will. This blinded him to the scam that was pulled on him by the deep state through big pharma & Fauci. He should have consulted actual scientists vs trusting the compromised CDC, NIH & FDA. Operation Warp Speed was his baby and needs to own it, along with the failure.

Expand full comment

I'm sure he's arrogant, but he can't commit political suicide. I wouldn't do that. It's easily handled. He was not on top of the global health issues, I don't think, trusted Fauci. He did try to bring in other people like Scott Atlas, to at least handle some of this and explore it, but at that time, people were terrified and they would have crucified him if he hadn't done what he did at the time. But now, he does need to qualify this. He has come out against mandates, but he needs to address the injuries and not vaccinated anyone but old and vulnerable who want them.

Expand full comment

The political suicide is what he's doing right now. Doubling down on The Big Lie, tricking more people into deadly injections.

He didn't "try". He was president. Had he tried, he would've DONE. He could've gone over Pence's head and put any of dozens of world renowned MDs & PhDs like Battycharna, Malone, and McCullogh on the task force to counter Pfauci while the world was watchin. Instead, he played doctor and hogged the camera himself like the babbling bungling narcissist he is.

Expand full comment

He's not between a rock and a hard place *now*. He could easily tell the truth and redeem himself. Or even lie a little: "I was misled." Instead, he doubles down on The Big Lie. The only thing stopping him is his arrogance and narcissism. There is no excuse. His Big Lie is killing people, and paving the way for the vax mandates he coyly "opposes".

Expand full comment

No, unfortunately if he wants to run again, he can't come out totally against the vaccines. There are too many stupid conservatives who have been terrified into this craziness. I don't blame him for that, but there is an easy way to deal with it. And he should.

Expand full comment

If he wants my support again, if he doesn't want to destroy his base, he has to tell the truth. The stupid conservatives are realizing they've been had. There are millions who no longer trust him. Too much babble-bungling, broken promises, idiotic nominations, bullshit, narcissism and lying.

I hope you're telling everyone you meet that the vaccines are obscenely dangerous and ineffective, and that early treatment with hcq or ivm will save lives. At this point being silent is being complicit.

I agree. He could have said something when they came after the children. He missed a golden opportunity. If he had said the children didn’t need it he hold have saved himself.

For sure. Dumb running deep on both ends of the political spectrum.

True, but who knows which side he's on, since he's all over the place? Can't finish babbling a sentence without contradicting himself or straddling an issue several times. It's like Schrodinger's Trump. Left calling him Right means little. The one issue he seems consistent on is The Big Lie: "Safe and Effective."

I’m a former lefty and NYT subscriber. I’m telling you we (the left) thought Trump was so incompetent that when smooth talking Fauci stepped up we immediately fell under his spell. Most have remained under the spell or fallen even further.

In my case I’d worked on gene therapy, specifically siRNA (short interfering RNA) and knew exactly how very little we understand this technology, and I saw the Pfizer trial numbers and they made no sense. Yet, my former comrades who know the science and stats better than I do have checked their brains at the door. They are literally in la la land as there’s no way to reach them.

We used to laugh how people who only watch Fox are stuck in a news bubble. Not to say left media is any better but I saw a clear switch in NPR and NYT “reporting” shortly after the jabs came out. To me it was a night and day shift (and I was rooting for the jabs to work) but I think the fact that Biden defeated Trump and Fauci had gained our blind trust and they just keep believing the “science”. It’s a nightmare!

This gal's tweet is about as emblematic of what a fucked up mess we've made of the world as anything could be. A deified freak of no particular accomplishment other than a ridiculous faux-academic play to hatred of America (and one of the most privileged of the most privileged people on the planet as a result of being born in this country) expresses confusion as to how it could be considered political for tech companies (tech companies!!!) to "refuse" to allow "deadly disinformation" in accordance with the decrees of the current political actors who make the rules that we all have to follow, despite it having been commonplace for those same political actors to express the same types of "deadly disinformation" when they were not in charge, for purely political reasons, unhindered by the tech companies that control our public discourse.

Nope, nothing political at all. Only safety and benevolent public interest. And if you disagree, we have ways of dealing with you.

Fuck this shit.

If she's talking about MTG, everything she said was factually true.

https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-banned-marjorie-taylor

------------------------

In July, Ms. Greene argued that Covid-19 was not dangerous for people unless they were obese or over age 65, and said vaccines should not be required.

-----------------------

With very few exceptions, this is true.

-----------------------

In August, Ms. Greene said on Twitter, “The F.D.A. should not approve the covid vaccines.” She said that there were too many reports of infection and the spread of the coronavirus among vaccinated people, and that the vaccines were “failing” and “do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks.”

----------------------

The first part is an opinion. As for the second part, the vaccines clearly DO NOT reduce the spread of the virus. The CDC said as much months ago.

If we can't agree on reality, what the fuck is going on?

Expand full comment

James Lindsay would say, I think, that she isn't stupid at all. This is anarcho-tyranny in action, and the dissonance is intentional. She will call one thing political, and another identical thing apolitical, based on the outcomes from those two things. If she disagrees with the outcome then you are being political about it, if she likes the outcome then it's apolitical. And being able to do this is her showing you the power she has.
