I read it, and it is an excellent contribution to this discussion.
I fear we'll never return to the Good Ole Days when parents smeared Vicks Vap-o-rub on the chests of snotty offspring and ladled chicken soup into them. Another treatment was a day home from school, on the couch with endless "Three Stooges". (I personally think Curly episodes a more effective therapeutic than Shemp.)
I'm confident we'll get back there eventually, with the aid of a tone-deaf medical establishment that has discredited itself to a degree I would have never thought possible.
The coddling of the American mind by Lukianoff and Haidt must be read by all. This susceptibility to FEAR indoctrination has been going on a lonnng time. The coddling and entitling of minds is and has been intentional and far too many parents bought it hook line and sinker in raising very stunted humans with very thin skin or ability to cope and use critical thought
The fear porn that a hypothetical tripledemic COULD "crash hospital systems" is ridiculous. The thing that nearly crashed hospitals was the fact that beds were being taken up needlessly to follow the "Remdesivir then intubate" sure-death instruction manual, in order to collect unconscionable bounties being offered through the CARES Act handouts and CMS waivers.
This is the plan to try to justify the next attempts to mask us up, lock us down and generally re-institute the Totalitarian system which we have just freed ourselves from post-covid. Got to keep the fear porn going to attempt to generate a compliant populace...
Me thinks that genie is out of the bottle though. I know it is for me... no more: masks/lockdowns/"vaccine" jabs/etc. DONE.
FTX has so many bigger picture implications and if you look closely was always the intention. Opening the door now to the new digital currency similar the the CCP digital yuan already in play to implement a CCP model of a social credit scoring system. In essence, if you think the wrong way politically or have independent opinions on something not embraced by those in power you will not have access to your money or be ostracized in some way similar to what they tried doing with those who had chosen not to take injections. Forest for the trees...
Not to mention FTX's laundering of Ukrainian money, the founder being the second largest donor to the Democrat party, and screwing countless people out of their money. Yet, the FTX story and it's link to left-wing politics is largely out of media attention.
It's just fucking cold viruses and all that. You see, when they scientize things by making a fancy acronym (e.g., 'RSV'), they can use that to sell you shit that you don't need.
It's as simple as that. Combining profiteering and 'science' do not make for healthy minds or bodies.
The idea of being infected simultaneously by several viruses, as with the plethora of other unfounded, unscientific measures over the past three years, is another example of extreme Marxist propaganda aimed at cementing global control. 5000 years of modern human history , estimated 110 billion humans have passed through this stage and eight billion currently occupying the planet. All of this in spite of meddling governments. There have been great developments in medical technology and treatments but they have have not come from governments. The last three years revealed for all to see the degree of real evil and lust for power in the world. All in plain sight. Government has never been your mama and we should resist all attempts at Big Government propaganda and control.
YES! Finally a tiny admission of actual science from a mainstream journal. What a world this has become, where lies rule, individual rights are heresy, nearly every institution is aligned against us, and speaking or publishing the truth can get you just short of an immediate electric shock to the genitals from the gatekeepers of COVID dogma. There's been so much gone wrong that it's hard to figure out where to even begin.
I'm subscribed to eugyppius and recommend his Substack to anyone interested in the science, as well as the politics, of the pandemic. He lives in Germany and his articles have expanded my perspective well beyond the usual "Trump or no Trump" that discussions of the pandemic in America so often devolve into.
And the White House just had a press conference with Fauci and Jha preaching over and Over and OVER that everyone needs to go get their COVID vaccines, boosters, and flu vaccine - Jha even used the “that’s why we have two arms@ line again - and it’s the best, and the *only* way to end the pandemic.
Based on the comments, more and more are no longer buying what they are selling and it seemed like an increasingly desperate sales pitch. Even brought up masking and mandates in the presser.
The thing is they are still in their positions with nary a scratch of any accountability or fear of being held to account. Why would they not continue as they do? They have this "untouchable" arrogance that MUST be addressed otherwise we just keep getting more of the same. Just sayin...
There's this disease of the mind out there where people think that there's a way to manage risk until it is zero. There's a "Vision Zero" campaign across the country to get traffic fatalities down to zero. The problem is that this thinking is so flawed. There's risk in driving and there always will be and with diminishing returns, pushing safety to an infinite value is just delusional. There's a risk you'll get covid and if you do, there's only two things that will happen to you: you'll either live or you'll die. And there's more to life than not dying, so go out without a mask, without a vaxx, and without PCR testing or hand sanitizer and live your best life.
This is about control by dems /libs they don't want to lose the stranglehold they had during the Covid scam. It's always the end of the world with these people and the disappointing thing is folks listen to these scam artists aka dems
Great article! Although it was written as an argument against hygiene theater, particularly lockdowns, when patients and friends ask me for reasons not to get the vax I can add it to the laundry list. I don’t believe our country will recover from the catastrophic consequences of the biomedical tyranny. Besides, it will not move the needle for the majority of the US. Between Mass Formation Psychosis and the welfare state’s creating at least a 50/50 citizenry of perpetual adolescence, no amount of true science or logic will reverse the current mindset, fear, or damage still to be experienced.

My live in grandson is home sick today and last night it was a chest full of Vicks Vap-O-Rub, we will see what he watches.......
I'm confident we'll get back there eventually, with the aid of a tone-deaf medical establishment that has discredited itself to a degree I would have never thought possible.
That's still how we treat sickness in our home!

But.. I still do the Vicks ritual... and still works its magic; besides, the side-effect -the smell- grows on you...
It's just virus fear porn designed to sell vaccines and leverage obedience to the government.

Thanks Alex for giving eugyppius props.
I've been following him for a year. I get just about everything I need from you, Gato, Igor and eugyppius.
For those who are interested in what's going on across the pond, eugyppius is the man.
I'd highly recommend adding el gato malo to that stack.
Here a taster https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/the-act-of-submitting-engenders-submission
You beat me too it. I was just about ready to post it as well
Hope you're looking into the connection between FTX & its monetary influence on pandemic "science"

I'd be interested in that. Any recommendations?
I'm still writing it! :)
I read the piece earlier this a.m. Fascinating read. Love Eugyppius!

They can't help digging themselves in deeper and deeper, can they?

The choice of gastroenterology vs. pulmonary medicine was a simple one.
Berenson is now a self proclaimed supporter of Jo & the Ho. Don't spend a dime on this POS books. He's trying to scam his self into a fortune.
