And Eriksen definitely hadn’t just been vaccinated for Covid.
Except maybe he had. In a radio interview in May, his Italian team doctor had suggested the team’s players WERE BEING vaccinated at the time or WOULD be vaccinated before the 2021-2022 season; the translation of the statement was equivocal, and the interview has since disappeared.
Eriksen has never made any definitive statement either way, and in fact has nearly vanished. He was in the news for the first time in months when his professional team, Inter Milan, said he would not be able to play in Italy this year.
Anyway, it just happened again. Another top-flight European player has just been hospitalized for chest pains. Fortunately Sergio Aguero, the striker for Barcelona, apparently did not have a heart attack. He is currently under observation.
Keep in mind these are among the best-conditioned athletes in the world.
Gee, I wonder what could have happened?
Then there’s the curious case of Trey Potts, the starting running back for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers.
At least Potts was the starting running back until Oct. 2, when he left Minnesota’s game against Purdue University with an unexplained injury. Potts walked off with “no immediate signs on the field that he had been hurt in the first place,” per a Minnesota newspaper - but then was taken by ambulance to a hospital and hospitalized for six days.
The university now says Potts - who as a student was required to receive a Covid vaccination - will not play again in 2021 because of an “upper-body injury,” a weirdly, if not insultingly, vague diagnosis.
We should probably check with Dr. Rochelle Walensky or some other public health professional, but the heart is in the upper body, right?
NOTE: The headline of this article initially incorrectly said Eriksen had suffered a heart attack; in fact he suffered cardiac arrest, meaning his heart entirely stopped beating, a condition often but not always caused by a heart attack.
I regret the error.
Also: PURDUE, not Perdue. Two in one story after a very long clean sheet. Ugh.
We’re in CA where 12-up will be required to get the vaccine to go to school next year. Next it will be 5-up. I have grandsons, 6, 9, and 14. I’m very worried.
My son & his wife believe in the jabs and my granddaughter has already been jabbed. I have no doubt my grandson will be too as soon as they start rolling them out here in CA. As a grandparent I am powerless to stop it & I'm am beyond frightened & sick about it
It's so hard when the young people won't take the advice of those who have lived long enough to develop some wisdom. Then they feel superior and arrogant in their decisions, not just about vaccines, even disallowing grandparents to see their grandkids. Your family is among many who are running in to get shots that are risky when they aren't at great risk of serious illness from Covid. Subjecting children to this experiment? Horrible.
Tragic Story out of PA. This is typical of what appears to be happening , but is labeled as a Covid 19 death....Can the Media hypnotic trance be broken?
Joe Wise, a Republican candidate for an Allegheny County Council in Tuesday’s election, died Saturday afternoon of COVID-19 complications.
Mr. Wise had received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and then fell ill, according to his son Christian Wise, 17.
“He was a phenomenal person,” Christian said. “He got sick literally the day after he got [the vaccine], and it really was just a string of bad luck.”
Somebody doesn't trust the science. If they did, they'd be aware of what can be found in table 2 of this study of 350K medical workers. That being: "Adjusted Vaccine Efficacy 0-14 days after first dose: -1.04"
Maybe you can pull the state data and other states to show them that healthy children should not get the vaccine. I collect from my own state, WV where I now live after retirement. This state has a very unhealthy population; obese children/young adults. Not one child under the age of 16 has died of COVID. Age Group 16-20, 2 have died. It is my unprofessional opinion, even chubby kids are healthier than say someone 25 overweight. The ages for death start showing up in 21-30 where 20 have died. The longer you carry extra weight the more damage it does to your over all health. Just my opinion there.
For a couple of months I was trying to reconcile the number of deaths reported to CDC for US (age group 0-24; had to use this age group, because that was the only way to match ages based on the two diff provided data). The problem with that I discovered after a while, the comorbidities are behind in inputting data even though the end date was only one day diff. The number of deaths for no-comorbidities went down some times (Total deaths for age group less deaths with other factors contributing to death). It took too much work and not enough good results to continue pursuing. For example, did this on the fly just now; they have 2101 deaths nationwide for 0-24, and 2059 with other causes contributing to death. 42 do not have comorbidities reported. The thing is, say next week the diff might be 38. Here are the links: https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex-and-Age/9bhg-hcku/data
Children should not be vaccinated. I agree that obesity among children is serious. So many explanations. There are few homemakers who cook at home for the family. They are working and stressed. Family members have different schedules and don't eat together. Sacks of fast food are brought in each night. The kids love that food, so Mom is happy. There's the salt and the caloric content and not a balanced diet.
I remember the US before we looked like a herd of swine. Also remember the explosion of frozen food in the markets in the 80s: frozen individual serving pancakes, frozen hamburgers in the bun etc. It shocked me because I'd been in rural SW NYS in college and no one could afford that trash. Then mothers were told we only needed 15 minutes of good "quality time" per child per day so we could go ahead, park our kids in daycare, work our asses off on some ego ridden career fantasy, and hey, all would be well. WE would be happy and that's ALL that mattered.
(I never thought that made sense.) And the 90s...that's when you started to see lard buckets everywhere. People too busy to cook, to sit down together get FAT.
Now on the local University campus I see girls walking sometimes work what's obviously their mothers. The mothers are often trim, the girls look like hippos. And you realize there's no way on God's green earth they're ever going to lose that fat.
Thanks for the information. Weight definitely plays a role but To explain young healthy athletes getting sick or dying, there is more to the story. Different pathways are involved like angiotensin in nose…lungs … T helper cells B- cells IGE IGM IGG Interleukins. Keep exercising and eat well and early intervention is important.
In my experience, there is no presenting information. That's what my friends tell me. I know that people have been instructed to "pre-but" not rebut the information that conflicts with their politically correct views. A friend sent me his copy of Science News which recommends that people read or listen only to their suggested list of accurate media which support the "science." NYT, Washington Post, and such irresponsible publications are listed. The brainwashing of the younger generation is shocking. The government knows everything. Parents and grandparents are ignorant of the science.

you can email me for my story about 2 of my three kids being vaxxed with ONE shot of DPT and DTAP and both being either brain damaged or got severe RA for life. And those disgusting shots were FDA APPROVED. Please email me at hs4265@protonmail.com
Gary, Thank you for sharing the article. I’m crying, but I’m feeling so empowered in my decision to pull my 8 year old son from public school. We live in WA, he is in mask all day including recess time. Outside they are masked. Everyone around me think that I’m overreacting, that kids will be OK. Appreciate the link to the article.
We are homeschooling our son with a fantastic teacher if you’re interested. We’re right by golf course. We are looking for another boy. If interest let me know.
Veteran homeschool parent here. My children are grown and successful. Homeschooling was the best decision I ever made. The book “The wWell Trained Mind is a Great Resouch”. Classical education is the way to go. Now I just pray that this government and this world doesn’t destroy my children that I do carefully raised. Lord help us all.
We're in WA, too. Fortunately, we found a Classical Christian School near us a few years back and they allow kids to go unmasked.
We discussed, as a family, that if Inslee ever starts talking about the jab for private school kids, that's our 'go' criteria. I'd rather live in a trailer in a free state than under tyranny.
In South Dakota we have not had masks this year. If there is an exposure and no symptoms the kids go to school and wear a mask for 10 days. Life has returned to normal with no problems. In Minnesota a surgeon from Fergus Falls was fired for stating that surgical masks don't prevent the spread of viruses... He is correct.
Several studies show that these masks are useless for viruses. They only work for bacteria, which are much larger. Well, the 95 mask says it all right - it keeps 95 % and lets 5 % in. One study, by the Dentists of Canada, was revoked at the beginning of the mask craze, but I read it before that. No difference between mask or no mask on a dentist. And he is very close to you.
We moved from Washington state six years ago, my boys still have friends there and two of the families are leaving the state because of the schools. Another boy who is a junior has been asking my sons about homeschooling. They are making life miserable for the kids that won't get vaccinated. It should be criminal! And his friends that were vaccinated all got sick with covid afterwards anyway!
“Everyone around you” seem to be just more useful idiots that allow this madness to continue. You did the right thing, my kids are grown but if they weee still grammar school aged they would be homeschooled. My wife has a well paying job too but we would forgo it instead of putting up with the madness that is public education.
You are not overreacting in my grandmotherly opinion. Children these days get far too many vaccines, some of which they don’t need. My daughter will pull her children out of school if there are vax mandates....she lives in NJ. She’s praying Murphy looses! Many moms will sacrifice for their children!
The article was illuminating and important. But you probably noticed that the writer had weaknesses and psychological problems which caused her to blow like a reed in the wind, and to believe that she was bullied by "big men." So unless you need counseling, I suggest not crying. Go with your instincts about your child in all ways, and just say, "We're not doing that." Wo cares what the other parents are doing? They don't have your good instincts.
when you identify yourself with "what I do, what I have, what other ppl think about me", you are an object (objectify yourself and others), it's impossible not to project that onto others too, even your children. We are Relational Beings worthy of respect(and individuality) able to give and receive love. That is the seduction of satan...to get you to objectify yourself, then you are a perpetual victim and at the whims of others. God wants us to see the truth and restore our identity.
I homeschooled and it's the best way to make a life long learner. Also taught physics at University and my homeschooled students were pretty good. Like the African students here from Nigeria, polite, diligent, capable.
I have not had the author’s experience with the medical industry yet I have been fearful from the beginnings of Covid of what society would do because of it. How terrifying it must be for her having lived through similar with such tragic results and seeing it play out again.
I did too. It is heavy stuff. Instructive and important. But it's laden with her issues stemming from a fragile psyche. Emotionally healthy people would not have been manipulated like this. That includes the men she chose. However, autism is so horrible in its extreme manifestations that I understand the desperation.
Read about Ancel Benjamin Keys and the terrible impact he had on Americans with his ill-formed "science" in the 1950s. From his "science" he defined a diet for Americans that ended up causing heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and all sorts of other problems. His bad science is responsible for the diet that was recommended by the American Heart Association & the U.S. Department of Health in the 1960s. He said saturated fats were a problem causing "clogged" arteries. Just one little problem, that isn't how our liver metabolizes saturated fat. But as a consequence of his diet, Americans turned to a diet high in carbohydrates and kaboom, we were off to the races with an epidemic of obesity that has not abated. We put so much faith in experts when often times they are just headline grabbers.
Spot on. The FDA recommended “diet” may be one of the greatest public health tragedies/errors of all time in terms of lives and quality of life lost. It’s worth asking: if we have yet to fully understand the biochemical and physiological effects of simple food, is it reasonable for experts to claim total understanding of incredibly complex mechanisms like the human immune system and the impact of gene therapy/vaccines?
My husband and I both lost weight after our microwave burst into flames and we never replaced it. I blame microwaved food for some of the obesity in the US. Too easy to rustle up a dubious "meal".
They change health guidelines constantly. Don’t feed kids peanuts before a year. Peanut allergies go rampant. Now it’s introduce peanuts earlier. Butter is horrible; use margarine. A few years later - margarine is horrible; use butter. Coffee is bad. A few years later; coffee is good for you. I could go on and on with example after example. Who could believe anything these people say??!!
Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. Those who gave up butter and eggs and milk and meat turned to carbs. Does anyone out there have experience with children who eat only a very few things and whose diets are terrible? I am shocked at the family members' children and how there seems to be no planning of nutrients or variety of a wholesome diet.
Of course, you're worried, as well you should be! Yes, encourage your grandsons' parents to homeschool the boys or find a private school that doesn't require the jab! All of my soon-to-be thirteen grandchildren, who are school-aged, are being taught at home. I've never been more grateful that my grandkids are being homeschooled than I am now in this upside-down, insane world!
HOWEVER, my oldest grandchild went off to a state college last year on a volleyball scholarship. She and her team mates were required to wear masks while playing, and no family member or friend could attend the games. 🙄
BUT . . . in order to return to school, during THIS academic school year, she was essentially forced to submit to the jab. Her parents tried to talk her out of doing so, but hey, she's 19 now. She wants to get a degree, and as one of five children, the only way she can do that (in her mind) is to attend college on a scholarship. Her parents researched all three vaccines and recommended the J&J. Despite reports of clots out of England, this is the one vax that is not mRNA formulated.
I worry about her health now and about the four boys behind her, who will want to attend college, but will be faced with the same dilemma. I can only pray that the madness will end before they graduate from high school.
True... but getting old doesn't cause us to care less for our loved ones and express concern, nor does it render us unable to think, analyze, reach informed conclusions, and articulate reasonable opinions.
Has it ever been contemplated that requiring vaccination has the anticipated result that many will remove their children from public schools, thereby lowering expenses for the schools requiring the jab?????
I think that school officials don't want to lose pupils, because state aid is based upon enrollment. It's why they oppose vouchers. This requirement could hurt them, but they are confident that they have parents over a barrel. They believe that there are no choices for most parents but to comply, because parents will do anything not to pay for private education or have to home school.
Put the sacks of fast food (surprisingly expensive) on the table. Or, go out to restaurants and hand the five and three year old's their devices to watch mindless, rapidly moving action so the adults can sip their wine. Buy each child an expensive adult dinner which they will hardly glance at. Linger past children's bedtime, and all goes fine for quite awhile while the images swirl on the devices. Not my generation, but we adjust.
I’m in So Cal; let me tell you the (kinda long) story of when I took my son (now 24) out of school in 2011, when he was just starting the 7th grade. It was just before Common Core, and though I couldn’t name what was happening, I could SEE it coming, ever since Matt was in about the 2nd grade. Antibullying hit the scene first, though, bringing along with it gay and trans-rights messaging. I saw how it seemed to make everything worse: three kids at his school overdosed in the bathroom, and another kid (from our church) was caught selling his Adderall at school. Matt came down with mono around this time, and the school threatened ME with truancy officers and court orders because he was “missing too much school.” That did the trick. I unenrolled him the very next day, and I set up my own school “Alternative School #4” as a joke about Commie schools.
My only regret is not doing it sooner, but, like most of us, I’ve been subjected to heavy brainwashing, too. I was afraid for so long that I “couldn’t do it.” Finally, I was more afraid of what school was doing to him than what my (inabilities, knowledge gaps, or, God forbid, potentially neglect, etc.) might do. I decided that even if he learned NOTHING at home, he’d be better off than internalizing the “education” his school was providing.
Admittedly, Matt spent a couple of years mostly sleeping, eating, and playing video games with online friends, and I worried and worried, but he continued with his stage acting classes once a week, and I was always available to help him follow some passion or other: he took up growing exotic strawberries, he began collecting Illuminati cards (it’s a card game, and it’s so cool!), and we found a “day-class”/field trip to the Gemology Institute of America (GIA) that really sparked an interest in gemstones.
When he turned 15, he started to come out of his hibernation. He took a driving class at 15-1/2 to be ready for his provisional license at 16, then immediately started working on getting a job. I’d “graduated” him then, so he wasn’t stuck with all the trouble of dealing with work restrictions. Much to my surprise, after several (lame) interviews he didn’t get, with stores like Target, Toys-R-Us, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Old Navy, he said he wanted to work at a jewelry store. “Good luck,” I told my naive young son, who looked closer to 13 than to 16 (he looks about 16 now, at 24!). I didn’t think he stood a chance…and yet, he did it! He offered to work for free for as long was necessary to prove himself. He began collecting a paycheck within about three weeks. He took college classes and became a fully certified gemologist by 18, and now he’s running the store by himself. He’s constantly underestimated by customers everyday, and it’s been a blast hearing the stories of how he rises to each challenge.
He even found opportunities during the Covid (which we all had and we’re fine…no vaccines or masks or distancing for us, thanks) lockdown: Matt met a nice man, and they’ve been dating for over a year…huzzah! Best of all, Matt has developed into a FREE thinker! No vax for him!
Mandates have started at lausd and Culver City unified . Newscum stated statewide once fda approved . I expect it will happen this July so parents need to plan and prepare.
True yet lausd and Culver City are enforcing it now. And I know many parents blindly went with it bc of fear and trust in our medical establishments and three letter agencies
We are reading about it and LI Loud Majority , Fl Loud Majority, No left Turn, Thinkcritically 1963 , Dads on Duty, Moms for liberty all retelling of your bravery.
Yep 😕 mine are 16 and 18 and fortunately homeschooled all their lives but I still drove to Texas so my senior could participate in a homeschool graduation there so he at least didn't lose that. All their friends (except the one in private school) are miserable in both high school and college with all the masks and ridiculous rules. It's sick. I hope they grow up and create a class action lawsuit against Newsom.
I have been paying school taxes on TWO homes plus buying my own curriculum for my kids for 13 years now, as did my parents with me when I was homeschooled and then went to private school. That's the sacrifice I am willing to make to keep my kids out of those hell holes.
People with spouses that are in agreement about the panic are in a totally different reality than those of us who are alone within our families in resisting this madness.
it's very common for opposing opinions between spouses, sad, but you are not alone. can't imagine living that daily...disagreeing on major personal opinions...but, God makes a way if we "seek first the kingdom of God", then you can proceed with peace even during spousal disconnect.
Move to a conservative state with a low cost of living. You won’t regret it. My own family recently made a big sacrifice to avoid compromising our values. Turned out to be better off in the end and we are so glad we did it.
Resist. Be vocal. No time to be liked; no time to worry what “others” think. I’m on CAL too. VacSafety.org. Nonprofit. Fighting for truth and against mandates, espy for kids!

What is the point of education anyway? I went to school for most of my life. I have a Masters in Secondary Education which has not helped me one bit, and plus I don't even know how to survive in the woods. What on earth was I learning all those years?
I feel exactly the same as you do with my stupid sociology/psychology double-major. Worthless!! Good thing I never wanted a grand career. Fwiw, I’ve learned far more outside of school than I have in school.
I have high hopes that soon the 'obvious to us' issues of concern will be resolved by more public awareness. I think every few weeks there is greater resistance and as more injected people run into trouble and become the greater spreaders and victims amongst each other - the tide will turn. Delay and decline to play the game for now. And help others understand what is going on. Best wishes for your grandkids and planet Earth!
It’s surreal, I hear the same. I’m starting to believe it’s more about fitting in so their family can be free from community judgement. They’d rather sacrifice their child’s well-being to keep their status. Twisted
I agree. Maybe not status, but comfortable mental and financial security. Parents have been sacrificing their children for a long time, not admitting to themselves that the A's didn't signify anything. When I was teaching, and agitating for an excellent curricula, the visionary planners responded with, "Who needs to know that stuff? The parents agreed.
I agree with this, Jordan. I have some friends who eagerly got vaccinated and then had serious female/period issues that took months to resolve. I've noticed none of them want to give the shot to their young daughters. Also, more and more people I know, know someone who has had serious vaxx side effects. I'm grateful ppl are finally starting to see.
I hope you're right, but what I'm seeing most of is vaxxed people -- even those who've had bad side effects -- desperately clinging to their faith in the vaxxes and at the same time their paranoia about the covid and about the unvaxxed, probably to avoid facing the reality that they've been hoodwinked and maybe injured for life. One woman I know actually cheered when an unvaxxed co-worker caught a fairly bad case of covid. She's still treating him like a pariah now that he's recovered and is back to work, even though he's probably safer to be around than she is.
I'm afraid we'll see as much of this defensive reaction as the increased resistance that you describe. It's much like the women who've had abortions and then buried their grief in militant pro-abort activism to avoid facing what they've done.
Phoebe, I totally understand and there are the people who are dug in like it's their religion. I know many. And the truth IS rather unbelievable, so I give them that. But I am becoming increasingly aware through social media sites how many people are standing up for their rights and it seems throughout the world people are taking to the streets in greater numbers. So I have hope whereas a few months ago I was bereft. Tap into others, and information sources, like Alex, and stay the course! You are not alone. Every day things become more obvious to many, it's hard for people to acknowledge they have misunderstood or have a change in their belief system. You don't know until you know! Best wishes.
What's really bizarre -- or maybe I should say sad -- is that the woman I mentioned had actually had a severe reaction to the shot, as had her husband and two other co-workers. In fact, her husband's reaction to the shot, with a fever peaking at 103F, was about as bad as the illness that the unvaxxed co-worker had with covid. But to her, only the unvaxxed co-worker counted as being sick, and it was all because he refused to take the shot. This kind of cognitive dissonance doesn't go away very easily.
Even my conservative mom who just had her booster shot STILL wears a mask in many indoor situations. She has 3 doses of the vaccine but still doesn’t trust it to protect her. My husband and I want to invent a continuous booster pump. It would work like the pump that diabetics have. Every time you think you are in a super spreader situation, you can just pump another booster or two into your body, and you’re good to go!!!
There are many apps being used like Might Networks - Co-Op Connect is one for CA (teachers and students not willing to take the jab). The networks are growing!
Im sure u thot of this but Pool ur resources. Get w other fams & share responsibilities of home schooling even if u have to pay a live in (mayb certified) teacher/nanny. If enuf kids drop out public schools will hav to change to $urvive! Push Bak Parents!! (sounds lik a slogan!)
I'm so afraid for the children...
We’re in CA where 12-up will be required to get the vaccine to go to school next year. Next it will be 5-up. I have grandsons, 6, 9, and 14. I’m very worried.
Move or home school. Do not allow your grandchildren to be lab rats!!!
My son & his wife believe in the jabs and my granddaughter has already been jabbed. I have no doubt my grandson will be too as soon as they start rolling them out here in CA. As a grandparent I am powerless to stop it & I'm am beyond frightened & sick about it
It's so hard when the young people won't take the advice of those who have lived long enough to develop some wisdom. Then they feel superior and arrogant in their decisions, not just about vaccines, even disallowing grandparents to see their grandkids. Your family is among many who are running in to get shots that are risky when they aren't at great risk of serious illness from Covid. Subjecting children to this experiment? Horrible.
If they don’t honor the wisdom of their father and mother, then possibly they won’t live long on the Lord their God had given them
Nothing is more dangerous than the delusions of the Masses. Always has been always will be.

Thanks for the information. Weight definitely plays a role but To explain young healthy athletes getting sick or dying, there is more to the story. Different pathways are involved like angiotensin in nose…lungs … T helper cells B- cells IGE IGM IGG Interleukins. Keep exercising and eat well and early intervention is important.
This was right in front of me on the first link, and now is more relevant since CDC wants to vaccinate children as young as 5.
More Children have died of Pneumonia than COVID (time period 01/01/2020 – 10/27/2021), since start of COVID.
Ages 0-17 COVID Deaths 558
Ages 0-17 Pneumonia Deaths 1,055
Ages 0-17 Deaths from all causes 60,066
No one is forcing parents to have their children get the pneumonia shot. Why?
I feel for you....were you able to try to show them some information against it?
In my experience, there is no presenting information. That's what my friends tell me. I know that people have been instructed to "pre-but" not rebut the information that conflicts with their politically correct views. A friend sent me his copy of Science News which recommends that people read or listen only to their suggested list of accurate media which support the "science."

Pray
you can email me for my story about 2 of my three kids being vaxxed with ONE shot of DPT and DTAP and both being either brain damaged or got severe RA for life. And those disgusting shots were FDA APPROVED. Please email me at hs4265@protonmail.com
You can't them anything. Believe me, I've tried. Repeatedly.
Along those lines, read this article - POWERFUL!!! And then pass it along to everyone you know. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/i-have-been-through-this-before-bauer
Gary, Thank you for sharing the article. I’m crying, but I’m feeling so empowered in my decision to pull my 8 year old son from public school. We live in WA, he is in mask all day including recess time. Outside they are masked. Everyone around me think that I’m overreacting, that kids will be OK. Appreciate the link to the article.
We are homeschooling our son with a fantastic teacher if you’re interested. We’re right by golf course. We are looking for another boy. If interest let me know.
Veteran homeschool parent here. My children are grown and successful. Homeschooling was the best decision I ever made. The book “The wWell Trained Mind is a Great Resouch”. Classical education is the way to go. Now I just pray that this government and this world doesn’t destroy my children that I do carefully raised. Lord help us all.
We're in WA, too. Fortunately, we found a Classical Christian School near us a few years back and they allow kids to go unmasked.
We discussed, as a family, that if Inslee ever starts talking about the jab for private school kids, that's our 'go' criteria. I'd rather live in a trailer in a free state than under tyranny.
In South Dakota we have not had masks this year. If there is an exposure and no symptoms the kids go to school and wear a mask for 10 days. Life has returned to normal with no problems. In Minnesota a surgeon from Fergus Falls was fired for stating that surgical masks don't prevent the spread of viruses... He is correct.
Several studies show that these masks are useless for viruses. They only work for bacteria, which are much larger. Well, the 95 mask says it all right - it keeps 95 % and lets 5 % in. One study, by the Dentists of Canada, was revoked at the beginning of the mask craze, but I read it before that. No difference between mask or no mask on a dentist. And he is very close to you.
We moved from Washington state six years ago, my boys still have friends there and two of the families are leaving the state because of the schools. Another boy who is a junior has been asking my sons about homeschooling. They are making life miserable for the kids that won't get vaccinated. It should be criminal! And his friends that were vaccinated all got sick with covid afterwards anyway!
“Everyone around you” seem to be just more useful idiots that allow this madness to continue. You did the right thing, my kids are grown but if they weee still grammar school aged they would be homeschooled. My wife has a well paying job too but we would forgo it instead of putting up with the madness that is public education.
You are not overreacting in my grandmotherly opinion. Children these days get far too many vaccines, some of which they don’t need. My daughter will pull her children out of school if there are vax mandates....she lives in NJ. She’s praying Murphy looses! Many moms will sacrifice for their children!
The article was illuminating and important. But you probably noticed that the writer had weaknesses and psychological problems which caused her to blow like a reed in the wind, and to believe that she was bullied by "big men." So unless you need counseling, I suggest not crying. Go with your instincts about your child in all ways, and just say, "We're not doing that." Wo cares what the other parents are doing? They don't have your good instincts.
when you identify yourself with "what I do, what I have, what other ppl think about me", you are an object (objectify yourself and others), it's impossible not to project that onto others too, even your children. We are Relational Beings worthy of respect(and individuality) able to give and receive love. That is the seduction of satan...to get you to objectify yourself, then you are a perpetual victim and at the whims of others. God wants us to see the truth and restore our identity.
I homeschooled and it's the best way to make a life long learner. Also taught physics at University and my homeschooled students were pretty good. Like the African students here from Nigeria, polite, diligent, capable.
UW golf course. Sorry, deleted that part when editing by accident.
I have not had the author’s experience with the medical industry yet I have been fearful from the beginnings of Covid of what society would do because of it. How terrifying it must be for her having lived through similar with such tragic results and seeing it play out again.
In primeval societies today's 'experts" would be called witch doctors.
Should still be called that.
Very interesting article. Entirely applicable to today's raging medical experts!
Ha, I just read this last night. Heavy stuff
I did too. It is heavy stuff. Instructive and important. But it's laden with her issues stemming from a fragile psyche. Emotionally healthy people would not have been manipulated like this. That includes the men she chose. However, autism is so horrible in its extreme manifestations that I understand the desperation.
This essay was stunning! https://twitter.com/CanadaFirstXX1/status/1453457865625251849?s=20
Thank you for sharing this!
Read about Ancel Benjamin Keys and the terrible impact he had on Americans with his ill-formed "science" in the 1950s. From his "science" he defined a diet for Americans that ended up causing heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and all sorts of other problems. His bad science is responsible for the diet that was recommended by the American Heart Association & the U.S. Department of Health in the 1960s. He said saturated fats were a problem causing "clogged" arteries. Just one little problem, that isn't how our liver metabolizes saturated fat. But as a consequence of his diet, Americans turned to a diet high in carbohydrates and kaboom, we were off to the races with an epidemic of obesity that has not abated. We put so much faith in experts when often times they are just headline grabbers.
Spot on. The FDA recommended “diet” may be one of the greatest public health tragedies/errors of all time in terms of lives and quality of life lost. It’s worth asking: if we have yet to fully understand the biochemical and physiological effects of simple food, is it reasonable for experts to claim total understanding of incredibly complex mechanisms like the human immune system and the impact of gene therapy/vaccines?
My husband and I both lost weight after our microwave burst into flames and we never replaced it. I blame microwaved food for some of the obesity in the US. Too easy to rustle up a dubious "meal".
They change health guidelines constantly. Don’t feed kids peanuts before a year. Peanut allergies go rampant. Now it’s introduce peanuts earlier. Butter is horrible; use margarine. A few years later - margarine is horrible; use butter. Coffee is bad. A few years later; coffee is good for you. I could go on and on with example after example. Who could believe anything these people say??!!
Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. Those who gave up butter and eggs and milk and meat turned to carbs. Does anyone out there have experience with children who eat only a very few things and whose diets are terrible? I am shocked at the family members' children and how there seems to be no planning of nutrients or variety of a wholesome diet.
Of course, you're worried, as well you should be! Yes, encourage your grandsons' parents to homeschool the boys or find a private school that doesn't require the jab! All of my soon-to-be thirteen grandchildren, who are school-aged, are being taught at home. I've never been more grateful that my grandkids are being homeschooled than I am now in this upside-down, insane world!
HOWEVER, my oldest grandchild went off to a state college last year on a volleyball scholarship. She and her team mates were required to wear masks while playing, and no family member or friend could attend the games. 🙄
BUT . . . in order to return to school, during THIS academic school year, she was essentially forced to submit to the jab. Her parents tried to talk her out of doing so, but hey, she's 19 now. She wants to get a degree, and as one of five children, the only way she can do that (in her mind) is to attend college on a scholarship. Her parents researched all three vaccines and recommended the J&J. Despite reports of clots out of England, this is the one vax that is not mRNA formulated.
I worry about her health now and about the four boys behind her, who will want to attend college, but will be faced with the same dilemma. I can only pray that the madness will end before they graduate from high school.
All the best to you and yours, Debra!
Home school now. This and the religious exemption will be attacked soon.
Is Pfizer trying to get ahead on a potential situation???
https://presscalifornia.com/2021/10/28/pfizer-vax-kids/
DON'T VAX THE CHILDREN !!
It's not usually up to Grandma.
True... but getting old doesn't cause us to care less for our loved ones and express concern, nor does it render us unable to think, analyze, reach informed conclusions, and articulate reasonable opinions.
Has it ever been contemplated that requiring vaccination has the anticipated result that many will remove their children from public schools, thereby lowering expenses for the schools requiring the jab?????
I think that school officials don't want to lose pupils, because state aid is based upon enrollment. It's why they oppose vouchers. This requirement could hurt them, but they are confident that they have parents over a barrel. They believe that there are no choices for most parents but to comply, because parents will do anything not to pay for private education or have to home school.
or do anything not to have to personally invest and raise and educate their children themselves
Feeding children in the U.S.
Put the sacks of fast food (surprisingly expensive) on the table. Or, go out to restaurants and hand the five and three year old's their devices to watch mindless, rapidly moving action so the adults can sip their wine. Buy each child an expensive adult dinner which they will hardly glance at. Linger past children's bedtime, and all goes fine for quite awhile while the images swirl on the devices. Not my generation, but we adjust.
In California too and everyone I know with kids is pulling them when the mandate goes in or already has. I hope the same happens for your grandsons.
I really hope people do pull their kids. Stay strong parents!
I’m in So Cal; let me tell you the (kinda long) story of when I took my son (now 24) out of school in 2011, when he was just starting the 7th grade. It was just before Common Core, and though I couldn’t name what was happening, I could SEE it coming, ever since Matt was in about the 2nd grade. Antibullying hit the scene first, though, bringing along with it gay and trans-rights messaging. I saw how it seemed to make everything worse: three kids at his school overdosed in the bathroom, and another kid (from our church) was caught selling his Adderall at school. Matt came down with mono around this time, and the school threatened ME with truancy officers and court orders because he was “missing too much school.” That did the trick. I unenrolled him the very next day, and I set up my own school “Alternative School #4” as a joke about Commie schools.
My only regret is not doing it sooner, but, like most of us, I’ve been subjected to heavy brainwashing, too. I was afraid for so long that I “couldn’t do it.” Finally, I was more afraid of what school was doing to him than what my (inabilities, knowledge gaps, or, God forbid, potentially neglect, etc.) might do. I decided that even if he learned NOTHING at home, he’d be better off than internalizing the “education” his school was providing.
Admittedly, Matt spent a couple of years mostly sleeping, eating, and playing video games with online friends, and I worried and worried, but he continued with his stage acting classes once a week, and I was always available to help him follow some passion or other: he took up growing exotic strawberries, he began collecting Illuminati cards (it’s a card game, and it’s so cool!), and we found a “day-class”/field trip to the Gemology Institute of America (GIA) that really sparked an interest in gemstones.
When he turned 15, he started to come out of his hibernation. He took a driving class at 15-1/2 to be ready for his provisional license at 16, then immediately started working on getting a job. I’d “graduated” him then, so he wasn’t stuck with all the trouble of dealing with work restrictions. Much to my surprise, after several (lame) interviews he didn’t get, with stores like Target, Toys-R-Us, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Old Navy, he said he wanted to work at a jewelry store. “Good luck,” I told my naive young son, who looked closer to 13 than to 16 (he looks about 16 now, at 24!). I didn’t think he stood a chance…and yet, he did it! He offered to work for free for as long was necessary to prove himself. He began collecting a paycheck within about three weeks. He took college classes and became a fully certified gemologist by 18, and now he’s running the store by himself. He’s constantly underestimated by customers everyday, and it’s been a blast hearing the stories of how he rises to each challenge.
He even found opportunities during the Covid (which we all had and we’re fine…no vaccines or masks or distancing for us, thanks) lockdown: Matt met a nice man, and they’ve been dating for over a year…huzzah! Best of all, Matt has developed into a FREE thinker! No vax for him!
He would have been 'transed' if you'd left him at school. Good on you.
Awesome!
Mandates have started at lausd and Culver City unified . Newscum stated statewide once fda approved . I expect it will happen this July so parents need to plan and prepare.
It’s not “approved.” Just EUA.
True yet lausd and Culver City are enforcing it now. And I know many parents blindly went with it bc of fear and trust in our medical establishments and three letter agencies
We are reading about it and LI Loud Majority , Fl Loud Majority, No left Turn, Thinkcritically 1963 , Dads on Duty, Moms for liberty all retelling of your bravery.
I do too. The 14 year old just started his freshman year after staying home for a year. Bad timing for his age.😔
Yep 😕 mine are 16 and 18 and fortunately homeschooled all their lives but I still drove to Texas so my senior could participate in a homeschool graduation there so he at least didn't lose that. All their friends (except the one in private school) are miserable in both high school and college with all the masks and ridiculous rules. It's sick. I hope they grow up and create a class action lawsuit against Newsom.
Sadly, you'll still be required to pay your high school property taxes if you don't want to lose your house.
I have been paying school taxes on TWO homes plus buying my own curriculum for my kids for 13 years now, as did my parents with me when I was homeschooled and then went to private school. That's the sacrifice I am willing to make to keep my kids out of those hell holes.
We’ve paid…and we keep paying. It’s a small price, considering. (Besides, we don’t require much by way of creature comforts.)
Definitely leave. Things are not getting better there
It’s not as easy to do when all our family is here and I have a husband not willing to go and I’m not willing to divorce him
People with spouses that are in agreement about the panic are in a totally different reality than those of us who are alone within our families in resisting this madness.
it's very common for opposing opinions between spouses, sad, but you are not alone. can't imagine living that daily...disagreeing on major personal opinions...but, God makes a way if we "seek first the kingdom of God", then you can proceed with peace even during spousal disconnect.
Leave the public schools, is the recommendation. Adult couples can cope.
That’s me too. It’s an impossible situation.
Move to a conservative state with a low cost of living. You won’t regret it. My own family recently made a big sacrifice to avoid compromising our values. Turned out to be better off in the end and we are so glad we did it.
Which state, if I may ask?
FL🕊🌴🕊
Welcome to freedom! 🇺🇸
Just moved my family from CA to FL for the same reason: Freedom
Jenn - may I ask which state you moved to? This is definitely something I've considered as I'm in CA as well and have a teenager in HS.
I have friends with high schoolers in The Woodlands, Texas. No masks. Life is normal for them.
Resist. Be vocal. No time to be liked; no time to worry what “others” think. I’m on CAL too. VacSafety.org. Nonprofit. Fighting for truth and against mandates, espy for kids!
File suit. In the meantime, home school.

What is the point of education anyway? I went to school for most of my life. I have a Masters in Secondary Education which has not helped me one bit, and plus I don't even know how to survive in the woods. What on earth was I learning all those years?
Dennis Prager says people seem to get more and more stupid the longer they attend school.
yeah i mean there is definitely some truth in that.
basically what we learn in school is how to perpetuate the system (and make MONAY)
but hey, every system pretty much is set up to perpetuate itself so what do you expect?
I feel exactly the same as you do with my stupid sociology/psychology double-major. Worthless!! Good thing I never wanted a grand career. Fwiw, I’ve learned far more outside of school than I have in school.
I feel this vibe. Really what is the point?
I have high hopes that soon the 'obvious to us' issues of concern will be resolved by more public awareness. I think every few weeks there is greater resistance and as more injected people run into trouble and become the greater spreaders and victims amongst each other - the tide will turn. Delay and decline to play the game for now. And help others understand what is going on. Best wishes for your grandkids and planet Earth!
I pray you are right. I’m struggling as I listen to my friends rejoice knowing that 5-11 year olds will soon be receiving the jab.
It’s surreal, I hear the same. I’m starting to believe it’s more about fitting in so their family can be free from community judgement. They’d rather sacrifice their child’s well-being to keep their status. Twisted
I agree. Maybe not status, but comfortable mental and financial security. Parents have been sacrificing their children for a long time, not admitting to themselves that the A's didn't signify anything. When I was teaching, and agitating for an excellent curricula, the visionary planners responded with, "Who needs to know that stuff? The parents agreed.
You have the wrong friends.
I agree with this, Jordan. I have some friends who eagerly got vaccinated and then had serious female/period issues that took months to resolve. I've noticed none of them want to give the shot to their young daughters. Also, more and more people I know, know someone who has had serious vaxx side effects. I'm grateful ppl are finally starting to see.
I hope you're right, but what I'm seeing most of is vaxxed people -- even those who've had bad side effects -- desperately clinging to their faith in the vaxxes and at the same time their paranoia about the covid and about the unvaxxed, probably to avoid facing the reality that they've been hoodwinked and maybe injured for life. One woman I know actually cheered when an unvaxxed co-worker caught a fairly bad case of covid. She's still treating him like a pariah now that he's recovered and is back to work, even though he's probably safer to be around than she is.
I'm afraid we'll see as much of this defensive reaction as the increased resistance that you describe. It's much like the women who've had abortions and then buried their grief in militant pro-abort activism to avoid facing what they've done.
Phoebe, I totally understand and there are the people who are dug in like it's their religion. I know many. And the truth IS rather unbelievable, so I give them that. But I am becoming increasingly aware through social media sites how many people are standing up for their rights and it seems throughout the world people are taking to the streets in greater numbers. So I have hope whereas a few months ago I was bereft. Tap into others, and information sources, like Alex, and stay the course! You are not alone. Every day things become more obvious to many, it's hard for people to acknowledge they have misunderstood or have a change in their belief system. You don't know until you know! Best wishes.
What's really bizarre -- or maybe I should say sad -- is that the woman I mentioned had actually had a severe reaction to the shot, as had her husband and two other co-workers. In fact, her husband's reaction to the shot, with a fever peaking at 103F, was about as bad as the illness that the unvaxxed co-worker had with covid. But to her, only the unvaxxed co-worker counted as being sick, and it was all because he refused to take the shot. This kind of cognitive dissonance doesn't go away very easily.
Yes, what you describe is what I have seen on a daily basis - sheer irrational rage.
Even my conservative mom who just had her booster shot STILL wears a mask in many indoor situations. She has 3 doses of the vaccine but still doesn’t trust it to protect her. My husband and I want to invent a continuous booster pump. It would work like the pump that diabetics have. Every time you think you are in a super spreader situation, you can just pump another booster or two into your body, and you’re good to go!!!
ding ding ding!
Home school, it is not as difficult as you think...
Curriculum is one thing. Moody teenager is another. We’re hoping to find a retired high school teacher who’s willing to teach a small group.
Better yet, look for a recently fired teacher who refused to be vaccinated.
Debra where do you live in california ?
Sacramento County. Two grandsons in El Dorado County.
I’m in Southern California. I wish I can make a pod here with other kids his grade
Someone might make a nice penny coming up with an app for a homeschooling network. Maybe it already exists. Hmmm!
There are many apps being used like Might Networks - Co-Op Connect is one for CA (teachers and students not willing to take the jab). The networks are growing!
*Mighty Networks
Im sure u thot of this but Pool ur resources. Get w other fams & share responsibilities of home schooling even if u have to pay a live in (mayb certified) teacher/nanny. If enuf kids drop out public schools will hav to change to $urvive! Push Bak Parents!! (sounds lik a slogan!)
I am willing to helping and I agree!
