It occurs to me that this whole game of characterizing people who are against mandatory vaccinations - and the vast erosion of personal liberty that entails - as, "anti-American" or unpatriotic, is really something that should be met head on.

I completely reject the notion that my being against getting injected with something against my will makes me a bad citizen.

I am pro-American. Those who wish to violate my bodily sovereignty are anti-American, because they are against the core principles that the country is supposed to stand for - a democratic republic, an open society with due process and the rule of law, a humble inward looking government constrained by checks and balances, a bulwark justice system more than strong enough to keep the tireless wolves of government and corporate tyranny at bay...

But those who would force this upon us... They corrupt all of that by defending the indefensible all the while hiding behind a cloak of faux patriotism and safety. Those guys nauseate me. Really.

I'm so tired of all of the fear mongering. All over the news they are claiming that Omicron is hitting the previously infected. Yet no one is posting any actual data to support this. They are also stating that the fully vaccinated are getting infected with Omicron, which is true. Their answer? Just get your damn vaccine! And if you're vaccinated, get your booster! They are claiming the booster is highly effective against Omicron. They know this after 3 weeks???? C'mon man! I think Marc Siegel from Fox news pisses me off the most. They tout him as being a voice of reason, yet he is spewing this same BS. And he always concludes with, "Wear your mask and get vaccinated."

If at this point you are expecting anything other than propaganda you are wasting your time. They have one mission........ first, know the agenda (in this case spread fear about Omicron) and then find the "facts" needed to support that agenda. If you don't believe they will find the "facts" to support their narrative about Omicron then you haven't been paying attention. They already have plenty of tools at their disposal... PCR tests, hospitalizations or deaths WITH covid, long covid, etc. If they can't generate enough fear using these tools they will just invent new ones somewhere along the way. They have mainstream media, govt, big tech and plenty of doctors and "experts" willing to support the cause.

There is zero chance that the Covidians are going to do anything other than use Omicron to their advantage no matter what the real story is.

The lies are everywhere. Three more studies out showing Vaccines do nothing against Omicron. Nothing. Including boosters. Also mABS might not work. But it's the sniffles and a headache. Best preprint I found? Possible Mice origin of omicron. Call Mulder and Scully. https://thegoodcitizen.substack.com/p/omicron-and-the-magic-mouse-jump

Alex - I so look forward to your emails. So few public figures push back hard on this nonsense with facts and data -- I always know I will walk away from one of your posts more knowledgeable and for that I am grateful!!!!

Expecting honest, unbiased journalism from the NYT is wishful thinking (in the extreme). As one of Tucker Carlson's guests put it recently, if the government or your employer can tell what to inject into your body, you don't own your body. They do. The absolute and unconditional loss of bodily autonomy is too horrifying to even contemplate.

Alex, I gotta say, when I read about NY and these blue states it really feels like it can’t be real. Your Brooklyn story about the “Drinks with Journalists” being cancelled. You really need to come hang out here. I live in NC and have a place in SC, so we are back and forth. My brother lives in Houston TX. My son is in a small town in Arkansas. It’s really a totally normal life these days. We just had our company Christmas Party. It may as well have been 2018. Not a trace of any Covid measures. None. Our dumbass city government in Charlotte has a mask mandate but most people just ignore it. I have not worn a mask in months. And when anyone ever says anything I just say I don’t have one. If they offer me one and ask me to wear it I do. But that has happened maybe once in the last couple of months. It really is TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS I guess.

If the MSM actually believes that Trump voters -- "Deplorables" -- are at increased risk of dying because they are not vaccinated, then they would not be encouraging them to get vaccinated.

Oh, the depths.

Biden: “We are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated."

Basically ...

Beavis: "The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY7NE_jSk5w

Rhode Island, second-most vaxxed at 75.1%, projected to have 154.4 new cases per 100k on Dec. 29

Louisiana, fourth-least vaccinated at 49.6%, projected to have 9.6 new cases per 100k on Dec. 29.

So 1.5 times more fully vaccinated produces ... 16 times the new case rate?

I'll hang up and listen.

Last year I made the incredibly boring observation that as we move into winter, you'd rather have more of your curve behind you than in front of you. Just like NYC was relatively unscathed in winter 2020 compared to spring 2020. (4k hospitalization peak vs 14k)

(Look at each region separately and you can see what I'm saying)

Of course, as long as the 'leaders' are pretending that Zero Covid is possible, we'll continue to pay the price for their idiocy.

I can't understand how they get away with connecting "Trump Voters" with "Anti-vaxxer". Donald Trump can't stop bragging about his beautiful vaccine program, Warp Speed. It's intellectually dishonest to make it binary and I fully reject this from top to bottom. Get the fake vaccine, don't get the fake vaccine, I don't care. Just don't tell me what to do.

I noticed that Neil Ferguson (!) is trying to pump the likely falsehood that omicron is not less dangerous than delta based on UK data. I had delta and I have had many colds that are lot worse..... p.s. Ferguson should have been stripped naked and tarred and feathered a long time ago.

Thank you for the clarity and commonsense. The J&J negative publicity and "non-recommendation" is yet another propaganda campaign.

Probably went something like this...

(Phone rings in Fauci's office)

"Dr. Fauci, sorry to disturb you from your morning tea with Mika and Joe, BUT the CEO of Moderna is on line one from France and he's worried..."

(Fauci answers line one)

"Stephane mon ami! How's it going? Sorry you had to wait...I've got a book signing in 20 minutes and needed some makeup...Man those HD cameras are brutal..."

(Stephane Bancel)

"Tony, this is urgent. We have 300 million vaccines in the market and they will soon expire! Our shareholders are livid. Did you get my memo on the benefits of taking 4 shots at once? The antibody boost is is stunning. OK, maybe a few test subject heads have exploded BUT that's another story for 75 years from now..."

(Fauci)

"No worries Stephane! I'm on it. I've got a conference call with the New York Times this afternoon, and I'll explain how the J&J vaccine is dangerous. They'll pass it along without question, and voila! 16 million more test subjects pour vous...people will have NO choice."

(Stephane)

But Anthony...only two people have died from the J&J vaccine...out of 16 million. The CDC VAERS says that almost 20,000 people have died of our vaccines. Isn't that a problem?"

(Fauci...laughing)

"One moment Stephane (keyboard click noises)...Check those numbers again."

(Stephane)

"Ahhh brilliant! I now see only ONE death for our vaccines and TWO for J&J. Magnifique!

(Fauci)

"I know when I'm good...I'm really good. The J&J vax is now TWICE as dangerous."

(Stephane)

"Do you think the New York Times might see through this?"

(Fauci belly laughing)

"Excuse me I just laughed so hard my tea shot out of my nose...did you really need to ask that one?"

(Stephane)

"Merci mon ami...in Fauci we trust! Next week, lets talk about our new vax-of-the-month-club concept.

(Fauci)

"Call anytime Stephane...happy to help."

Dr. Peter McCullough was on the Joe Rogan show a few days ago. He said something I hadn't heard others say before. He said that omicron is not more transmissible than Delta. He believes it is the type of mutation that would be considered an evolutionary mistake because it doesn't actually provide an advantage to the strain. He does not believe that it is going to displace delta, and the evidence so far does not suggest otherwise.

HA let us know if you hear back from David, but my money is on "you won't".

Also - I voted for Trump. If I "followed" Trump, I'd already be vaccinated by this warp speed "best vaccine ever". And I'm not. I wish this assholes would stop portraying Repubs/Trump voters as idiots that listen blindly to Trump, Tucker, or anyone. I guess it's impossible for me to have a Masters in Microbiology and a deep understanding of viruses and human immunology, because I'm a stupid Trumper.

If anyone is stupid and unthinking in this clusterfuck, it's the idiots that drank all the koolaid, ran out and got vaxed and boosted at their earliest opportunity, without asking any questions at all. THOSE idiots are the reason we are in this mess.

Also a little pissed at Alex for bringing this garbage article to my attention. But that's ok. We love ya, Alex.

So the year before the SARS-Cov2 pandemic I went into urgent care ill the first week of Dec 2018. They jammed a swab into my brain and 17 minutes later informed me I DID NOT have the flu.

The nurse said probably some type of “corona virus”. This is the first time I remember hearing their term (or paying attention to it). My symptoms were exactly the same except for loss of taste and smell.

Here is the question:

What “variant” was that?

What about the time a couple years before?

What about the coronavirus that has circulated this planet before us arrogant humans even existed?

Did all of those actual naturally occurring coronavirus just disappear when covid arrived on the scene?

Will big pharma and fauci be requiring boosters for all that as well.

I hope Alex’s next book is called:

This is all a giant steaming pile of 🐄💩

They’ve tried putting into the public consciousness via recent stories the idea that any current uptick in heart ailments and death are from pandemic related death and marijuana smoking by young people.

I’d posit the myocarditis and other “vaccine” related heart issues are most certainly running in the background of all age groups but are just readily obvious in younger age brackets.

I am certain they are part of the reason for the excess deaths.

If you look at what is going on in the world, there can be no doubt that a global narrative exists. IMHO, it appears to be a co-ordinated and calculated effort to globally identify and track people. The caveat is that it will only work if everyone is in the system. Interestingly, homeless people are not being targeted because they are not consumers or (like kids,) future consumers. They don't count as much as those who eat in restaurants, travel and buy. The real consumers who line the pockets of big tech and corporations - and that means EVERYBODY.

Everyone knows that information or 'data points' about individuals are VERY lucrative/important to tech, government and mega corporations. Now, how would one - if they were interested - understand how people move, who they interact with, what they buy, what they might be tempted to buy, etc aim to achieve this much information about a consumer? If you guessed a global passport than dig, dig, dig. You win the prize. The benefits to the trilogy of evil (government, big tech, corporations,) would be ENDLESS. And powerful. Everything from marketing and selling products, tracking carbon footprints and endless intrusion into your personal lives will be within reach. The virus, vaccinations and absurd mandates were never really what this was all about. If they were, the 'science' and 'pre-treatment' of COVID would have won. The virus and the subsequent vaccination program are merely the stepping stone to getting everyone onto a global system.

Whether or not you show your 'passport' is irrelevant. The mandates are irrelevant. The prize is the passport vis-a-vis the vaccine and the governments will squeeze harder and harder until you get a passport/certificate (or number.) And make no mistake about it; they will bulldoze over us all (chipping away at freedoms and rights,) until we are all on a universal track and trace system. This is how they BUILD BACK BETTER. Globally. Universally. And ruthlessly. The virus, vaccines and mandates were only a means to an end. Welcome to the new world.
