How large is Hiltzik‘s audience? Do I need two hands to count it?

Hotez, his mother. That’s two

It is my understanding, the number is more than two, he has tens of followers. I am so tired of these gas lighting buffoons.

Ps speaking of childhood asthma and the idiots in charge of medical consensus, the hilarious true story of how in the 1980s they were convinced asthma was fake, a Freudian condition:

If you hear back from him,maybe ask him what booster number he is up to now.

Expand full comment

And how many times he has had covid.

He probably idolizes Howard Stern

Howard Stern, has there ever been a bigger hypocrite? He was the paragon of anti-establishment and now a total shill for the government he once loathed.

Expand full comment

Stern is probably in line right now eagerly waiting for his 12th booster

Expand full comment

Stern announced recently that he hates half the country. The half he hates is probably made up of his earliest listeners and fans.

Yeah and how many times has he had COVID. I got it once - no vax. Just about everyone I know that’s had two or more jabs has gotten COVID multiple times!

Expand full comment

I have one acquaintance who has had every booster she could possibly get. And she has had covid more times than I count. Sadly, she has now had a stroke. I wonder if there's any connection.

Howard who?

This was brilliant. You are brilliant. We are all anxiously awaiting Berenson vs Biden. I still harbor so much anger about how those of us that chose not to get vaccinated were treated.

I do as well. Seriously I am a practicing Catholic and literally cannot contain my fury at what was done. I manage a cardiac surgical clinic and had access to research and medical journals. I searched and found not a scintilla of evidence the lockdowns, masks and social distancing had any scientific basis.

In April of 2020 I posted on social media that if anyone could provide any evidence general masking provided any benefit one I’d pay them $1000. No one responded although I lost several long time friends over my skepticism. The doc I worked for said in May of 2021 the vax would not prevent transmission or contracting COVID. He explained it wasn’t a vax at all.

They know and they lied to us. They are still lying. I hate them all.

Right there with you, Jodi. The willful blindness of everyone around me is infuriating.

You can’t shred this guy better than that, and he deserves every inch of the blade.

Hiltzik mocking mention reminds me of that Dec 21 Biden mocking on national TV about the dangerous non injected-winter of DEATH. What sitting President says that and get's away with it scot free...

Alex Berenson, I wouldn't waste my time with clowns. You know more about what is going on before COVID-19 2020 than most. I was at the hospital myself when 99% of all doctors and nurses were hiding under their beds. My concerns are right now here today. North Carolina is a manufacturer of EMERGENCY IV FLUIDS. All hospitals this week have a shortage or none of IV FLUIDS. So this means no day surgery and in the emergency department, you have to decide who is a priority to get IV FLUIDS. Most don't know this and everyone is struggling to understand why nobody is talking about it and it seems like our government leaders just really don't care about its people. Democrats Love Hate and the word after love I rarely say but I truly believe that. Biden is by far the worst person as President ever. I could say so much but it troubling me to say we are losing lives and our government just doesn't care. Abortion infanticide LGBTQP and crime.

Sadly, they don’t just seem like they don’t care, they REALLY don’t care. Except about themselves.

No, I think they do very much care about eliminating all who oppose them in any way.

That's why they are ignoring western NC. I'm pretty sure that area votes red.

They ignored Hawaii too. This goes beyond red and blue.

Holy shit! I had no idea about the IV fluids and N. Carolina. The hits just keep on coming.

No surprise to me that “our” government couldn’t care less about the people that they serve are dying. Just look at the response to the Hurricane that “our” government provided to the southeast of our country.. pathetic would be too good of a description and more like criminal would be the true observation of what’s going on. Again, I have to go back to nothing by accident.

The Red Cross isn’t getting saline to you ? This is very concerning. Someone make a you tube video on it and maybe it will be pushed.

Alex and Jay (and his team) and Prof. John Ioannidis are at the top of my COVID-feardemic-useless-mRNAvaccine-madness era heroes list. There are many more heroes on the list, but you guys really showed moral courage from Day 1.

Slayyyyyyyyy

Mocking pro-mRNA vaxers is even more necessary .... amazing any decent and semi intelligent person still clings to the vax... 85% of America clearly doesn't

SOME still "follow the science" and respect NIH and CDC consensus :)

I was told recently that I am uneducated because I said the shot does not prevent covid. I brought up Fraudci's testimony in a Congressional Hearing where he said just that. I added Fraudci just had covid and I'm sure he's had multiple shots. Then I was told that the point of the shot is to reduce the severity of covid so people do not end up in the hospital. I was going to refute that but it was clear that this woman, who claimed to be a nurse before she retired, would never even consider that her "life saving" shot was worthless.

I saw a john legend commercial during the NLDS baseball game last night, shilling for Pfizer. What an absolute beta male.

That he renamed himself "Legend" has always just killed me.

Alex,was the conference an open forum to the public? I went to a Steve Kirsch’s lecture at MIT in Kirsch Hall (he had donated to his college). His topic was the national New Zealand Covid data recently revealed by a whistle blower. At the beginning of his fascinating talk he asked if anyone in the crowd was on the MIT staff or Administration. The auditorium was filled but no MIT people other than 6 undergrads had showed up. These kids were from the student organization that had invited him. He had requested from his Alma Mater that he speak on Covid stats. He was denied. However, this undergrad club did invite him and these were the kids that showed up. In Cambridge, mighty Moderna headquarters lives right up the street. The power of Moderna’s influence over faculty and administration engagement with Steve was palpable. You could smell it. Good for Steve having to put up with this childish snub.

A human's greatest flaw is the inability to acknowledge they happen to be wrong on any given subject. Being a middle child, I have always (okay, maybe not when I was 15 or younger) made my share of mistakes and never ashamed to admit when it's happened.

And for whatever reason, the overwhelming amount of people that consider themselves liberals or progressives (and yes of course some conservatives and MAGA folks ) just refuse to accept facts and reason. Their world accepts them no matter how wrong they are as they insist their cause is greater than the reality.

It's why we've fallen so far.

The thing about being Marxist you never admit fault or take responsibility for your actions.
