"The simplest explanation for the CDC’s refusal to admit reality is that it fears backing off now will raise questions about its earlier push for kids to get mRNA in 2021 and 2022."

That's exactly what it is. They don't want to lose face. So, like most of their policies, they just keep digging deeper so as not to admit past error.

Hes right and you're right. However, this is a much bigger problem than just the public health authorities.

Look at how the swamp is reacting to DOGE. I think we need to step back and open the aperture.

Yes they're going to play "DOGE ball" at The CDC/FDA and every other institution. Fine, then let them know up front its really The Department of Elimination.

IMO Its not enough to drain the swamp. We must break the State in order to restore the Republic. This is about much more than just cost cutting, institutional reform, regulatory slashing and bloat elimination.

This started over 100 years ago with Wilson. Tgese are his exact words:

“We are not bound to adhere to the doctrines of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. We are as free as they were to make or unmake governments.”

Trump should do a mental rotation, turning their logic on its head, and say:

"We are not bound to adhere to the doctrines of the founders of the Administrative State".

We The People should be free to undo "government" and break the bureaucratic statism that has beat down our spirit for over a hundred years. It should be made clear the foundation of the Swamp is the STATE....therefore it must be broken. Only then can we restore the Republic and balance out the 3 branches of government our Founders intended.

The unaccountable 4th branch must be DESTROYED, precisely because it's not even mentioned in the constitution. In fact, they represent the very top-down, authoritarian ruling elite our forefathers rejected in 1776 and replaced in the triumph of the American Revolution

Undoubtedly SCOTUS will have to make a ruling(s). So be it, during that time anyone caught resisting should be put (Literally) in a detention room so they don't have the ability to resist as they wait for SCOTUS ruling. This is about reminding the career bureaucrats they answer to the people through their elected representatives.

The CDC is no different than the rest of the institutions.

Bring out the BullDOGErs and chainsaws!!!

They will fight this by claiming in a bizarro world way that they are "pro science" when the exact opposite it true: they are ignoring the science and studies, just as they ignore biology, genetics, and science - not to mention that words have fixed meanings to reality - when they claim that men are women due to their own whims.

Spot on. But I think they're about to get a tall glass of "sit-down-and-shut-the-fuck-up".

They're the idiots who cheated in high-school and wrote the person's name they were cheating from on the line where their name was supposed to go.

Now they're all in the same classroom without anyone to cheat off of.

They have nowhere to turn. The American people spoke loudly through an imperfect vessel.

Just a cluster of dimwits. Let not a seed be left for the technocrats/bureaucrats to replenish their field of lies!

My summation: Shame does not exist for many/most, especially in the bureaucracy. They won’t show up at work (high positions, including SES), they withhold decisions to the detriment of their agency’s goals, and they give little brain power to their jobs.

In many cases, it’s too entrenched and change is abhorrent. I watched it happen two weeks ago, with smart but weak people not willing to send a letter to the Secretary and the President because “action was supposed to come”. That makes them not smart when I asked what the downside was and no one could answer? This is why entrepreneurs don’t “fit” well in DC, though we could … Ryan, I agree 100% - BREAK it and start anew without fidiots and sycophants. Here’s to that tall glass of sit down and STFU.

TBH I am not sure they are smart enough to even understand data. During the height of pushing the vax, I downloaded the Vaers dataset, pulled into a simple database, and ran some simple queries. Shocking stuff in there. To me, the last 20 - 30 years have proven our best and brightest are not in government. Recall the shit show that was post Iraq invasion. The geniuses had no plan on what to do after.

Maybe you are aware of the fact that there is still one COVID "vaccine" mandate in place: all legal immigrants must take a shot to pass their medical. Without medical no visa!

This has to go on day 1 of the new administration.

All are asked to help stop this injustice.

The authority to declare an EUA product "safe and effective" belongs to the Secretary of HHS. So I think RJK jr can shut down MRNA entirely. And should. I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't.

Completely agree with Alex about the RFK, the vaccines and children. But RFK needs to go further and reveal all the VAERS information and various national inquiries about COVID vaccine side effects. Especially myocarditis and blood clots, the two top fatal reactions. The U.S. population has to know what Phizer, Moderna and the CDC were hiding for four years.

Yes....all the information we know about is still quite unknown to at least half the country. This needs to be made officially public, and very loudly so.

Yup. I agree. ACROSS THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT.

Nobody holds onto a dead position like a midwit who's spent their whole lives trying to APPEAR smart.

They're pretenders, and that's why the delusion of their fictitious reality is shattering right before their very eyes.

It's going to be a battle. But I think Trump is prepared and has the right people around him this time to really shake it up.

My experience with City government, Washington DC, long ago. "Don't work so hard, you make us look bad," from coworkers. Heard the same thing forty years later talking to a former coworker who went to work for the local county utility. (Note, as a foreman he was forced to use an illegal purchase order scheme that his bosses cooked up and when it was exposed, they pointed at him and other minor foremen. In his case he ended his pain with a .357 rather than going to jail for someone else's crime.

I was GM of a private nonprofit water/sewer utility on Siesta Key for 21 years. It was created because the County was not interested in wastewater in the 60's. We did all the things you mentioned above. First utility in the area to go to Advanced wastewaters treatment per the late 1970's state law. When the County took over the 20 some employees were removed from the Key, the service declined, and the rates went up 30%. Prior to that the County used to borrow parts from our warehouse since we had over $200K in spare parts and they have to go to a hardware store to buy a 1/4" PVC 90. The takeover was by our bond indenture not a hostile takeover. I gave them 40 plus CD's with all our records going back to the 1960's plus TV footage of our entire sewer system. Those CD's got lost. That is private vs.

public in a nutshell. Am I pissed, not at all, I had duplicates of all the CD's and when I discovered they "lost" theirs mine disappeared also.

It all comes down to Trumps commitment to the importance of this.

If he sticks to his guns I'm pretty sure he's willing (and it looks like prepared) to do some backroom horse-trading to meet those ends.

It always fascinated me how fear can be used as a weapon, especially the fear of death, our biggest one. When the fear campaigns started by our government, it seemed obvious to me that we were being manipulated. It pissed me off that 98 percent of our country fell for it. I couldn't understand, but now I do. Read the book the psychology of totalitarianism by Mattias Desmet. It is a short read, but literally explains everything!

Expand full comment

I fell for it too until I started reading Alex's Unreported Truth booklets, which were available from Amazon. I'm surprised they weren't censored. I think COVID and the measures purportedly taken to fight it were major reasons Trump lost in 2020. (That doesn't mean I believe Sleepy Joe got 81 million legitimate votes.) I have big hopes for Bobby at HHS (which currently means Health and Horseshit).

Your right, Alex had a lot to do with it. Also, spot on the reasons Trump lost the last election. Watch the movie 2000 mules by Dinesh d' Suza. The Democrats used a very basic technique to do what they did, and Dinesh exposed it. He actually has the data he purchased from the cell phone companies as proof, not a theory. Information is power.

Well put Ryan, very well put. Independent thought, logical decision making and pragmatism is our governments biggest enemy. A informed, intelligent person cannot be controlled.

100% correct. This is about $$$ - pure and simple. Remove the immunity for these drug companies and these shots will go away like a pastry at Sunday morning church. Stock prices will drop too and that would be wonderful. Doctors still administering these shots (even if some nimrod actually wants one), should be looked at too. It's as heinous as trans surgeries. While those are Frankenstein-ian (new word), the mRNA side effects and not know and to me, damn near genocidal. RFK Jr should have a field day with this and I pray he does.

Alex, do not let up on this! Keep their feet go the fire and hammer them relentlessly until total victory.

You just said it perfectly.

I think their only hope is to go for the jugular. They have a lot of little "kings" to take down...and you only get one shot. No half measures.

All the facts are on the side of the insurgents. Now is the time. No doubt, they'll freak out like masktards at a Nascar race. But it's exactly what needs to happen.

We can hope, but we are 3+ years into knowing that the shots don't stop infection and transmission, but 19% of adults got their boosters this Fall. That is an awful lot of people still buying what Pharma and the CDC are selling.

If we know Covid vaccines don’t stop transmission (fact), then there are absolutely no grounds to mandate the vaccine.

That’s not to say there would be grounds for mandate otherwise, it’s just the conversation ends with that simple fact.
