When the lockdowns started I was disgusted and angry. As an ICU nurse I was "essential" as were my colleagues. My husband, a restaurant manager, was "nonessential." It took over a month for his unemployment to kick in. Thank God I was still working and we had the means to make up for his lost wages short term. I know millions were not so lucky. What pissed me off more than being forced to use unemployment during this period were my colleagues on FB telling everyone to basically fuck off and stay at home because the "essential" people were busy. Leaving your house was stabbing them in the back. We were heroes! You better listen to the heroes! Every time I called someone out on their bullshit post by pointing out that is was easy to tell people to stay at home when you were still getting a paycheck I was told "as a nurse you should know better." Yeah, as a human being YOU should know better! I got the same crap when I pushed back on the masks. "You should know better!" Looks like I did, doesn't it? Long story short. Sure is easy to lock people down when you don't suffer the consequences.

Holy crap that is disgusting. I wonder how many of the people who were forced out of work he could have housed for that $3.4M.

(Trick question! Seattle already tried that. The answer is 3.)

COVID19 policy response = a wealth transfer. From people and small business to The Shareholders. You'll own nothing - and you'll be happy!

"In October 2008, he [Osterholm] was appointed to the World Economic Forum Working Group on Pandemics."

It's a lot easier to lock down the serfs when you live in an ivory tower. Just keep enough serfs on the payroll to deliver the organic avocado toast.

The work of getting others not to work appears to really work.

How people who are wrong over and over and still have jobs, platforms and influence is a symptom of the idiocracy. Paying 3.4 mil for a condo in Minneapolis is all you need to know about this guy 😂

Talk about disinformation - Osterholm said on Rogan (Feb 18) that 1,334 kids 0-17 died from COVID, the vast majority happening over the past 6 weeks. As of March 8, CDV shows total of 894 kids 0-17 dying over the entire course of the pandemic. Other factually incorrect information. He’s very smart, and when Joe asks about certain hypotheses that run counter to the Narrative, Osterholm will say he hasn’t seen compelling evidence (not that it doesn’t exist, but that he hasn’t seen it), yet on speculation supporting the Narrative, he’s happy to throw out the weakest evidence. The worst type of expert. And one championed across the media. Vomit.

Mike is another looter & parasite. How do we bankrupt everything he is affiliated with, or is he suckling on the public teat like all of the worthless public health morons?

The only health these public health experts are concerned about is the health of their personal income stream. There are many who would sell anyone down the river for a buck.

That a lifelong academic can afford a $3.4 million apartment raises the same question as how a lifelong Senator/VP can afford multi-million dollar properties. I'll give you a hint. The answer is the same for both and it starts with a "G."

This substack arrived right after Emerald Robinson’s article on the Forbes writer who was fired by DHS and how the government paid media companies big bucks to quash stories. The two substack together paint a terrifying picture that the US is not a democracy, or even a republic. We’ve moved right into something I don’t recognize.

Cunts will always behave cuntishly (Pronounced with an English accent so it makes it all good) ...

We should never be surprised by them...

Fascinating given his Mar '20 Joe Rogan interview where he sounded rational and grounded. Always wondered why he changed gears so easily.

Shitbag Osterholm helped kick this whole thing off with his march 2020 appearance on Rogan's show. I hope he rots in hell.
