Last week I threw out five ideas on what we need to do going forward to make sure the debacle of the last three years - and particularly of our rushed mRNA vaccine rollout - never happens again.
That article is linked below. (Probably my most popular recommendation: Ending immunity protection for ALL vaccines, and certainly any novel vaccines that don’t rely on simple inactivated viruses.)
But - no surprise - those five suggestions turned out to be just the start. A lot of you had ideas of your own, which you posted as comments or emailed. Even this list is far from exhaustive, but it shows just how deep the rot in the system runs and how much work lies ahead.
And so, without further ado and in your own words:
—
(YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE LATER. OR NOW. PICK NOW!)
—
End requirement/recommendation for any vaccine with less than 50% efficacy.
Codify a physicians right to prescribe "off label" in a more robust fashion...(pharmacy can't refuse, government can't abrogate)
Prove the "fraud" exception to current COVID vaxxes to remove them from "immune to prosecution" status.
—
This goes without saying but removing College Mandates should also be #1.

These are good but, perhaps due to my professional orientation as a lawyer and law professor, by far the biggest issue is taking away governors' ability to declare emergency and rule their states by fiat for an indefinite period of time, as we experienced in Oregon and many other (but not entirely) blue states. About 8 or 9 states, depending on how you count, reformed their systems meaningfully since the pandemic, including Pennsylvania and, to a lesser extent, New York. This ballotpedia page on the issue is actually a pretty good and accurate summary. But in many states -- e.g., CA, OR, WA, CT, NJ, IL -- the governors' emergency powers remain exactly as they were before and during Covid.
At the very least, emergencies should expire a set period after being declared (30 days is preferred but I'd settle for 60), and the legislature should be required to renew them.
—
I would add a provision that a searchable database, that is open to outside investigators and analysis be developed that tracks adverse events of all current and new vaccines. This database system has to be more robust and reliable than VAERS but also less subject to government bias than the current VSD system.
—
End the abuse of emergency powers. When we let government leaders break the law by declaring emergencies, they'll declare emergencies in order to break the law. A public emergency that involves any restrictions or mandates on the population's civil rights should require due process of law or a supermajority vote of both houses of Congress.
—
Most important:
It is unethical and immoral to demand that someone take a medical intervention against their will.
1. Enact a law that all drug (vaccine) mandates are illegal. For the military, education, HCWs, to receive health care (organ donation), play a sport, you name it, etc. That means that exemptions for religious or medical reasons would be irrelevant and also illegal.
2. In that same law, make it illegal to demand someone's vaccine status for any reason.
—
How about no longer giving the Director of the NIAID a "permanent" appointed position ??? No one person should have access to that much power / $$$ along with the ability to affect every aspect of public health for decades. And now he will determine who will be the next "dictator" of public health??? That's another recipe for more of the same........
—
Delete all records of vaccine status from government databases that could lead to vaccine passports and other forms of medical tyranny.
—
Sunset the Patriot Act. Government was already too powerful before 9-11. The Patriot Act has enabled government to weaponize law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and even the controlled media, against anyone who questions corrupt and downright bad government policy. An unelected bureaucracy can now use and abuse secret FISA warrants, unprecedented surveillance capabilities, and universal data collection by big tech partners to spy on, intimidate, and silence anyone who disagrees or might potentially disagree with them -- including members of Congress and the President of the United States. As we have seen during the era of unconstitutional COVID lockdowns, masking, and mandated vaccines, this power has been used not to combat disinformation, but to hide the truth.

- end pharmaceutical advertising. This would include direct to consumer advertising as well as funding medical organizations and med schools in any way. Serious serious crack down on it. If the AAP ever wants us to take their advice seriously again, they’ll have to forsake that sweet sweet pharma money
- some sort of transparency mechanism for medical research, so we don’t have to rely on corrupt journals colluding with pharma companies to “massage” their trial results for the public
- lots and lots of jail time for the people who perpetrated this monstrous fraud on the public (after a fair trial of course)
1. Repeal the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act that lets government officials and academics patent (and thus profit from) federally-funded research. So much of the corruption in our current system stems from this.
2. Repeal the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and the 2005 PREP Act (and subsequent amendments). No liability protection for pharmaceutical companies.
3. Permanently end the entire notion of a “vaccine schedule”. Forcing one-size-fits-all medicine on an entire population is savage and barbaric. Anything other than personalized (“N-of-1”) medicine is malpractice.
4. Provide Constitutional protections at both the state and federal level for medical autonomy so that this never happens again.
5. Prohibit the executive branch from seizing emergency powers under the guise of public health. The Constitution does not have a pandemic exception.
6. The First Amendment must apply to social media. Ban Pharma TV ads.
7. Withdraw from the WHO, disassociate from the WEF, and dismantle the FDA, CDC, NIH, DARPA, BARDA, and ARPA-H. Make all scientific knowledge and data open source.
8. Negotiate an international treaty to ban gain-of-function research.
9. Prosecute those who participated in the iatrogenocide and covered up its harms.
10. Force Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Merck, and GSK to pay reparations to the vaccine-injured.
Too late, 83% of Americans already took expermental GMO injection.
In case you didn't know, they have AIDS now and it gets worse over time.
They are losing their natural antibodies as time passes and will soon be dead.
For the 17% of people who were smart enough to not be guinea pigs for depopulationist Bill Gates, there is no chance of them taking anything at all from mass murderers. Our new problem is that these people who think they own us are putting the depopulation ingredients into air, food, and water, just like Huxley said they would. Even sperm is dying. Heads must roll before its our heads.
I found it excruciatingly ironic that many countries that outlaw GMO foods, for fear of what unknown dangers might be introduced to food by genetic modification, very enthusiastically required their citizens to become GMOs themselves!
How many elites here and across the world have actively avoided the euthanasia experiment and claim they did get whack-cinated?
Umm, "The Kingsmen", what was that premise, the privileged are immune from the cellphones set to cause widespread violence to wipe out all who are not "in the system". But, isn't evil like the Sith, only two are in place to rule, and even then, the apprentice is gunning to take out the master...
Xi is the ruler, and Biden ain't the apprentice, that's for sure.
Didn't get the memo from the Rulers? "Do as said or be dead"
Even at 100% efficacy, a vaccine isn't necessarily safe for any particular individual. Each administration of a vaccine is an experiment in how well the subject will tolerate it. "Safe and effective" is a conclusion that applies only to the aggregate.
P.S. 100% effectiveness does not equal "necessary" for any particular individual. A individual may have natural immunity or may not have the types of exposure (not an exhaustive list) that would make a vaccine "necessary."
Yes, agreed. Once you allow any sort of exception for X % efficacy, someone will find a way to produce a 'report' that supports X % efficacy. No vax should ever again be mandatory, for any reason, period.
If companies, municipalities, etc. are concerned with the spread of disease they can do PCR / antigen tests at airports, arenas, etc. Or, if time / cost is an issue, let people get their own test at a local pharmacy.
Mandating any type of medical intervention to keep your job or enter school has to be considered illegal and a punishable offense. I was fired for refusing the jab in September of 2021. My religious exemption was denied, I showed proof I had Covid and recovered. I am suing my former employer and I tell my story repeatedly on this Substack and others to let everyone who will listen, know how immoral, unethical, and last but not least unconstitutional it is. We have to fight back hard on all the points Alex and others have brought forward.
a friend at church was fired by CVS for refusing and I'M SURE THEY SENT IN A RELIGEOUS EXEMPLTION, 15 year employee...they were denied their bonus, their retirment etc! And I know they are in fact the most exemplary employee anyone could ever have. these WOKE corporations will pay for their willful arrogance and I hope they go broke and are replaced with honest companies.
And the workforce of these hospitals and pharmacies will diminish significantly as time goes on. Everyone wanting to enter Med school / nursing etc is still required to take the poison to participate . We will and already do have a sick workforce ( the vaccinated ate out constantly with “ covid “ of some vital illness and this is just the beginning )
Just like Kyrie Irving , taking a stand when everyone else will soon be falling , puts these disenfranchised people at a definite hire ability advantage later ). Our workforce is about to be decimated .
I liked my job too, and I was really good at it. TPTB want people like me OUT! I prayed before I went to work every morning for strength to fight the evil. God came through…as usual. FAITH!
Hoping that the latest lie (we all knew was a lie) to get full exposure -- the benefit of Natural Immunity after infection -- helps your case. See Dr Prasad's furious youtube video on the article in Lancet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzv8g1DAyDA&t=903s
Agree. The absolute nonsense of exemptions, as if someone else has to write you a hall pass. Good luck with the lawsuit. From my own cold-calling last year, law firms were only interested in those who were denied religious exemptions. I hope that changes.
It took me awhile to find help, thankfully I found it. I had to go through the EEOC, and they granted permission to sue. On the Dark Horse podcast, Bret had military members on with their attorney, one of the guests said someone was seeking a religious exemption as an “ethical vegan”. It’s crazy that’s the way it is, but that’s the road to take I suppose.
The law is broad as far as religious exemptions go. No specific religion or note from a pastor or priest or rabbi. If you have a sincerely held religious belief, doesn’t matter what religion.
Alex, my favorite: End pharmaceutical advertising. This would include direct to consumer advertising as well as funding medical organizations and med schools in any way. Serious serious crack down on it. If the AAP ever wants us to take their advice seriously again, they’ll have to forsake that sweet sweet pharma money.
Have a retired MD sister. About as cynical regarding her former profession as you can get. She summarizes it as "MD's are taught to diagnosis and prescribe." "You see X and you prescribe Y."
Went to Stanford. When she was in medical school, she commented about some world-renowned professor: "I wouldn't let him treat my cat." (She is very fond of her cats.)
Her point was that the most powerful effect in medicine is the placebo effect. You think you are going to be cured, and you get better--often having nothing to do with the treatment. She said there is a corollary effect. You get treated by the "best" and you are more likely to be cured. The corollary is that your provider gets better results and becomes even more renowned--both in his/her mind and in reputation. Perhaps having nothing to do with the actual treatment.
It's only become worse as the years have passed too. The students now in Med schools are buried in the collective of Pharma indoctrination and then controlled thru coercion to practice as Pharma desires them too once out of med school. Subtle in some areas and overt in others, but it's REAL and going on. Just how many Doctors KNEW at their core what they were doing was wrong during the wuh-flu era yet kept silent because of FEAR of lost licensure, income or peer ostracization...WHAT % I have wondered chose NOT to speak up?
my sister: Nurse and bro in law: MD are both huge proponents of jabbs and meds, they roll their eyes at me talking about alternative holistic simplicity like nasal saline washes(neti) etc.... They both are poorer health as they age (40-50) and have auto-immune issues, more meds. So the real end to all of this is their early retirement from the terrible medical advice that they have given and bought into themselves. It's sad but true, the fanatical maskers and testers and jabberwackies will have to be reduced to a whimper from their mis-informed personal medical choices bought and paid for by MSM and pharma and their precious GOVT Agencies who have clearly had their best interests at heart. They'll be rendered comotose zombies who will have no energy to fight back for truth....which may be a good thing so that the real truth can emerge from those who did not buy into the NARCICISTS MOB MENTALITY (MASS PSYCHOSIS).
So sorry to hear this. I know others who are the same. And yet they continue their journey because they don't know what else to do once they are caught in the web. I also have a daughter going down that path along with both of her daughters. It's so sad - I've tried to steer her in a different direction but then she says "but the insurance won't pay for that!" She still has not realized the insurance is a part of the problem as well! Big Pharma - Big Med - Big insurance! Big Sickness!
Like my sister and her dentist husband. After I sent them so much good info why you shouldn’t get the vaccine especially my and many people’s opinion or discernment that they are experimental vaccines and very little clinical trials that were mere months long wasn’t enough, they went ahead a got jabbed. I asked my brother-n-law why. He said several of his doctor friends were getting it and he was gonna go along with them. I am embarrassed for him. My sister said she was not going to give up traveling. So now all I can do for them is pray.
Amazing just how many otherwise intelligent people were swept away in the false science and propaganda. Just goes to show intelligence is not all what it seems and so very relative
I don't think they truly understood what They were doing. Too brainwashed - like many of us - who trusted the doc and pharma so long. One "smart" friend was determined to travel at any cost. When I asked her if she knew if would shorten her life, she said she'd lived long enough! But she really suffered when her younger sister died. I was so sorry for her.
don't think I'll take investment advice from your bro in law lol ! and yes, my zombie friends all wanted to travel and go out eat and get 'back to normal'. whcih is the furthest thing from the truth for them...they entered the zombie apocolypse.
I remember when it wasn't allowed, and it was felt that this should be a doctor's decision. But the pharma industry lobbied hard for it and got it - and within a few decades has captured most all of media and academia, as well as a good portion of Congress. I suspect one big reason they must charge so much (it isn't the "R&D they always cite") is that they have to pay off everyone in any position of power to do things their way and then indemnify them from any harm.
Australia was a unique case. It appeared from here that the taste of power and the idea that being an island nation could protect you combined with the narrative coming from the WHO and most all of the west got on a train they couldn't stop.
It wasn't as unique as you may believe. New Zealand did the same thing as did many pacific island nations...and China went hardest of all. Not sure what their stance on pharma advertising is though.
Great podcast today between Jordan Peterson and Jay Battacharia on how the same authoritarian measures were undertaken around the world. Very interesting and enlightening.
Have you seen the latest from Naomi Wolf? She is really embracing her Biblical heritage as a Jew, but I have the same perspective as a Christian - our views of God, evil and the old gods are not different at all. https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/have-the-ancient-gods-returned
I'll probably do something similar as part of my essay series.
I will never understand what happened in Aus, Can, nor NZ. I always thought their gov'ts were even more representative than the US, yet all became even harsher than the UK. I felt they were at least as independent as the US.
The Australian constitution was written by administrators on behalf of a monarch and mainly concerned with how parliament is to be conducted. We only have two constitutional rights: freedom of religion and freedom to pass between state borders, both of which were suspended under covid and freedom of religion is routinely trampled on every day. To be honest, the Australian constitution is what you would expect from midwit middle managers running a multinational corporation.
There are really only two major parties and they are hopelessly corrupt and candidates are filtered via preselection. We have minor parties that can stick it to them but don't really have much power. The preselection powerbrokers are unelected (like lobbyists in the US) and in the state of NSW the major Liberal Party (conservatives) powerbroker has Pfizer as his main client. Every Liberal in NSW has to play good with Pfizer.
What happened to Aus, Can and NZ is that we have a royal as our head of state - not the people and we do not have a Bill of Rights. My opinion is that our constitution was also not divinely inspired like the US'.
Edit: And the only means of citizens to speak freely on public record (at local council) was just taken away in Western Australia. The minister in charge of local government decided that citizens may only speak to agenda items. This means that if there is an issue in the community that you want to get on record, you are not allowed. It has to clear multiple layers of difficult administration first. Why? "mental health of staff." Why in reality? The people were exposing their corruption.
The ridiculous assertion in recent years that things like “mental health of staff” has surely got to end a swift but painful death soon. The idea that claiming to be upset or offended should rule others’ ability to speak is ludicrous. That is nothing but an exercise in raw power.
Woke has always been used as a blunt weapon against dissent. Meanwhile, people who are genuinely struggling with mental health, like veterans, kill themselves.
I equate Pharma advertising with banned marketing of cigarettes and hard liquor. Most recently “Got Covid - Paxlovid “ remember the “Got Milk?” campaign? There are more accompanying warnings in the same adds of side effects up to death.
And it’s so ironic that cigarettes were allowed for so long but then banned, only to be replaced by pharma! I think liquor has always been allowed in print, but less so TV, although beer ads have obviously been a huge part of TV advertising for a long time.
Sunsetting the Patriot Act is a good start. I think there should be a Constitutional Amendment that ALL laws sunset in ten years. They can always be passed again--give the Legislature something constructive to do. No "voice vote" passage.
Not sure if this was already mentioned, but it is of utmost importance that people be prevented from calling the current experimental shots “vaccines” going forward. They vaccinate against absolutely nothing. The definition of “vaccine” should be reverted back to its pre-cov*d meaning. We call flu shots “flu shots,” and on years when I skipped my flu shot I was never called “unvaxxed.” So why in h*ll are people being labeled as “unvaxxed” for turning down these shots that are not nearly as effective (or safe) as yearly flu shots????? This has to change. I, for one, will from now on answer “Yes” when asked if I am vaccinated. It should be obvious to everyone by now that the current c*vid shots have nothing to do with vaccination status.
I have no idea who he is. But if after my last polio or MMR shot years ago I still got polio or measles 4-5 times a year, but my unjabbed neighbor rarely (if ever) got sick once they had natural immunity, I’d have a problem with calling those shots “vaccines.” I would also have a problem with flu shots being called vaccines if I got flu a few times a year after getting a yearly shot. Why bother? He’s stating that the shots provide immunity, and I’ve seen zero evidence of that. We can agree to disagree. I still say that shots that require endless boosters and only make you more likely to get the illness should not be called vaccines. No immunity, not a vaccine.
Exactly. I did not. Because I got an actual vaccine. That’s my point. If you get a shot to prevent getting a virus, but you then get the virus 3+ times a year and are told to get booster after booster, while getting sicker and sicker (or worse…you die suddenly), you did not get a vaccine. You are an experiment.
I'd say "HELLNO" to 60 days for Em. Powers, in fact, I'd go as far to say NO EMERGENCY POWERS EVER!!! Bottom line, govt ain't the boss of me, and I'll advocate keeping it that way.
You are all assuming the Covid debacle was an honest response to a real pandemic. In my humble opinion I lean towards those who believe this was part of a larger plan to damage the western countries and move forward with the WEF depopulation agenda. The evidence I see:
Death of seniors by Covid, intubation, Remdesivir, dispair, etc.
Death of those with and without health issues by Covid vaccine
Death of the poor by skyrocketing cost of living, food, heat, rent.
Legalizing of Euthanasia in the western countries.
Still births due to the Covid vaccine.
Multilation by transgender surgeries lowers birth rate.
etc, etc
Then there is the WHO proposal to be the sole world authority for pandemic response after they failed
to properly handle the last pandemic.
So many other clues exist so keep this in mind when you are looking at the Covid Pandemic. There may be a bigger plan.
I would never in my wildest dreams think I would ever support a position like this, but I have steadily come around to that way of thinking. There can only be two reasons - such wide-scale bumbling and incompetence on the part of all so-called experts and authorities as to be incomprehensible and unbelievable; or an evil, cynical Malthusian agenda on the part of those with power and money who plan to come out ahead of all the fabricated and exaggerated crises that are being visited upon us. The television blares out the latest crisis with wall-to-wall lockstep precision, and the fear is whipped up, while the cash is raked in. The medical-industrial-military-techno complex has become an out-of-control beast, set to ravage humanity. It needs to be taken down.
Yes you reminded me that we seem to be going from one crisis to another these days. This is not abnormal in history but is unusual in modern history where the world was supposed to have matured and has better control of itself. I continue to put the pieces of the puzzel together. Some other pieces are:
US government completly ignoring vaccine deaths.
Damage to the economy from lockdowns.
Ability of China to rapidly "fill the gap" when US manufacturing was shut down during the
pandemic.
China sourcing so much of the common prescription drug supply in the west.
Loss of critical thinking in the west (why did so many people take a vaccine that my wife and
her friend figured out in spring of 2021 was no good!)
Loss of manufacturing capacity in the US.
People being so busy with day to day life that they don't protest bad government policy loudly (a few tweets don't count).
The bad rap the name 'Follow the Science" has now because government and MSM use it
falsely to push their own incorrect agendas.
The news that the BRIC countries want to create a replacement for the US Dollar.
Most of these wonderful ideas require state and federal legislative action. How are we going to express the need for numerous changes to our elected "rulers" -- since they do not appear to think anything is wrong with the cockeyed systems currently in place?
The problem was stated ever so eloquently, and ever so succinctly by Lord Acton 150 years ago: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men…"
Government is the entity which possesses the monopoly on the "legal" use of force. The drive to corruption is irresistible.
The history of man is totalitarian governments with a tiny, tiny minority with unimaginable wealth and unimaginable power. We are simply reverting to the mean.
Most of these suggestions are like advocating term limits (our Founding Fathers' biggest error of omission). They are great ideas that will go nowhere without the support of a majority of politicians who benefit from or at least like the present system - which means they will never be adopted.
Exactly. I have seen literally thousands of suggestions over my longish life. Most, if not all, would massively improve matters. None of which have ANY chance of being implemented for exactly the reason you cite.
My personal favorite: Require ALL elected politicians to personally prepare their own income tax returns without ANY professional assistance. They can use low cost software (maybe a $100 limit) and call the IRS (anonymously) for help. No more.
Penalty of perjury for first offense, jail time for second.
We saw this in the last election when at least one of the winners was found to have lied numerous times about his accomplishments! And he was not tossed out!
Our current President has a life-long history of plagiarism and outright lying, going far beyond exaggeration and funny false stories. I can't think of any basis for removing George Santos that doesn't apply equally to Joe Biden. Hopefully, the voters will remove both of them at the next opportunity.
Do we really “elect” anyone anymore? I think that day is gone. We’ve seen it and have now been trained not to ask any questions when things are obviously Not Right!
That is the intent of true totalitarian regimes. All countries who are communist or Marxist use the tactic to squash dissent. Commie 101 really. They feel "critical thought, liberty or 1st amendment rights" have NO place. They will develop words like "anti vaxxer, vaccine hesitant, election denier or domestic terrorist or racist etc" to make it appear you are the problem or do not understand. Typical commiecrat 101
My list of 10 items is here:
https://tobyrogers.substack.com/p/proposed-contract-with-the-medical
1. Repeal the 1980 Bayh-Dole Act that lets government officials and academics patent (and thus profit from) federally-funded research. So much of the corruption in our current system stems from this.
2. Repeal the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and the 2005 PREP Act (and subsequent amendments). No liability protection for pharmaceutical companies.

I vote for Toby's list. 100%.
For the list in the article (top 3 things). I don't agree with #1.
No vaccine should EVER be mandatory.
Trust is zero.
Re #1: "End requirement/recommendation for any vaccine with less than 50% efficacy."
Have you learned NOTHING? I agree with Paris: No vacx should EVER be mandatory. Period. Trust is ZERO. ZERO. Z.E.R.O.
No kidding! Alex remains clueless in many regards. Even it’s “100% effective” My body my choice.
Too late, 83% of Americans already took expermental GMO injection.
In case you didn't know, they have AIDS now and it gets worse over time.
They are losing their natural antibodies as time passes and will soon be dead.
For the 17% of people who were smart enough to not be guinea pigs for depopulationist Bill Gates, there is no chance of them taking anything at all from mass murderers. Our new problem is that these people who think they own us are putting the depopulation ingredients into air, food, and water, just like Huxley said they would. Even sperm is dying.

"GMO injection"
I found it excruciatingly ironic that many countries that outlaw GMO foods, for fear of what unknown dangers might be introduced to food by genetic modification, very enthusiastically required their citizens to become GMOs themselves!
Just shaking my head. ExCRUiatingly ironic. Indeed, the betrayal runs deep and wide.
How many elites here and across the world have actively avoided the euthanasia experiment and claim they did get whack-cinated?
Umm, "The Kingsmen", what was that premise, the privileged are immune from the cellphones set to cause widespread violence to wipe out all who are not "in the system". But, isn't evil like the Sith, only two are in place to rule, and even then, the apprentice is gunning to take out the master...
Xi is the ruler, and Biden ain't the apprentice, that's for sure.
Didn't get the memo from the Rulers? "Do as said or be dead"
Even at 100% efficacy, a vaccine isn't necessarily safe for any particular individual. Each administration of a vaccine is an experiment in how well the subject will tolerate it. "Safe and effective" is a conclusion that applies only to the aggregate.
P.S. 100% effectiveness does not equal "necessary" for any particular individual. A individual may have natural immunity or may not have the types of exposure (not an exhaustive list) that would make a vaccine "necessary."

& zilch.
You are absolutely correct!
GREAT list!
I like your list better. Especially #4, which would only reaffirms what is rightfully so.
Excellent.
I like this list as well.
wow, that’s comprehensive and on point. go toby!
❤️😘
Number 7 would definitely wipe out Number 1 . . . and vice versa!
Mandating any type of medical intervention to keep your job or enter school has to be considered illegal and a punishable offense. I was fired for refusing the jab in September of 2021. My religious exemption was denied, I showed proof I had Covid and recovered. I am suing my former employer and I tell my story repeatedly on this Substack and others to let everyone who will listen, know how immoral, unethical, and last but not least unconstitutional it is. We have to fight back hard on all the points Alex and others have brought forward.
a friend at church was fired by CVS for refusing and I'M SURE THEY SENT IN A RELIGEOUS EXEMPLTION, 15 year employee...they were denied their bonus, their retirment etc! And I know they are in fact the most exemplary employee anyone could ever have. these WOKE corporations will pay for their willful arrogance and I hope they go broke and are replaced with honest companies.
100 percent, I’m not alone and those of us who are going through this one day will get our day in court and expose the tyranny and corruption.
And the workforce of these hospitals and pharmacies will diminish significantly as time goes on. Everyone wanting to enter Med school / nursing etc is still required to take the poison to participate . We will and already do have a sick workforce ( the vaccinated ate out constantly with “ covid “ of some vital illness and this is just the beginning )
Just like Kyrie Irving , taking a stand when everyone else will soon be falling , puts these disenfranchised people at a definite hire ability advantage later ). Our workforce is about to be decimated .
Good for you to pursue this in court. Pushback from the supporters of freedom is a necessity.
Thank you, I loved that job but could not stand for that.
I liked my job too, and I was really good at it. TPTB want people like me OUT! I prayed before I went to work every morning for strength to fight the evil. God came through…as usual. FAITH!
Hoping that the latest lie (we all knew was a lie) to get full exposure -- the benefit of Natural Immunity after infection -- helps your case. See Dr Prasad's furious youtube video on the article in Lancet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzv8g1DAyDA&t=903s
Thanks! I have gone so far down this rabbit hole, between videos, articles, interviews my head is ready to explode. He’s a great source.
I just subscribed to him on Substack! Thank you!
My bf is suing with many others from the city. I retired early, or I would have joined the lawsuit as well.
Agree. The absolute nonsense of exemptions, as if someone else has to write you a hall pass. Good luck with the lawsuit. From my own cold-calling last year, law firms were only interested in those who were denied religious exemptions. I hope that changes.

The law is broad as far as religious exemptions go. No specific religion or note from a pastor or priest or rabbi. If you have a sincerely held religious belief, doesn’t matter what religion.
Bernard, a coworker of mine had a letter from an Archbishop of the city…she STILL got denied!
That should tell you this isn’t normal business as usual.
It’s crazy.
the 'ethical vegan BS' probably worked, where the religeous exemption was denied!
FORCED retirement
Alex, my favorite: End pharmaceutical advertising. This would include direct to consumer advertising as well as funding medical organizations and med schools in any way. Serious serious crack down on it. If the AAP ever wants us to take their advice seriously again, they’ll have to forsake that sweet sweet pharma money.
Thank you!
Absolutely! Pharma trains the medical students on how to prescribe their drugs!
Have a retired MD sister. About as cynical regarding her former profession as you can get. She summarizes it as "MD's are taught to diagnosis and prescribe." "You see X and you prescribe Y."
She has seen the light for sure! No wonder she is a 'former'!
Went to Stanford. When she was in medical school, she commented about some world-renowned professor: "I wouldn't let him treat my cat." (She is very fond of her cats.)
Her point was that the most powerful effect in medicine is the placebo effect. You think you are going to be cured, and you get better--often having nothing to do with the treatment. She said there is a corollary effect. You get treated by the "best" and you are more likely to be cured. The corollary is that your provider gets better results and becomes even more renowned--both in his/her mind and in reputation. Perhaps having nothing to do with the actual treatment.
I’m going to prescribe myself some placebo effects without further ado.:)
Quite common isn't it
It's only become worse as the years have passed too. The students now in Med schools are buried in the collective of Pharma indoctrination and then controlled thru coercion to practice as Pharma desires them too once out of med school. Subtle in some areas and overt in others, but it's REAL and going on. Just how many Doctors KNEW at their core what they were doing was wrong during the wuh-flu era yet kept silent because of FEAR of lost licensure, income or peer ostracization...WHAT % I have wondered chose NOT to speak up?
my sister: Nurse and bro in law: MD are both huge proponents of jabbs and meds, they roll their eyes at me talking about alternative holistic simplicity like nasal saline washes(neti) etc.... They both are poorer health as they age (40-50) and have auto-immune issues, more meds. So the real end to all of this is their early retirement from the terrible medical advice that they have given and bought into themselves. It's sad but true, the fanatical maskers and testers and jabberwackies will have to be reduced to a whimper from their mis-informed personal medical choices bought and paid for by MSM and pharma and their precious GOVT Agencies who have clearly had their best interests at heart. They'll be rendered comotose zombies who will have no energy to fight back for truth....which may be a good thing so that the real truth can emerge from those who did not buy into the NARCICISTS MOB MENTALITY (MASS PSYCHOSIS).
So sorry to hear this. I know others who are the same. And yet they continue their journey because they don't know what else to do once they are caught in the web. I also have a daughter going down that path along with both of her daughters. It's so sad - I've tried to steer her in a different direction but then she says "but the insurance won't pay for that!" She still has not realized the insurance is a part of the problem as well! Big Pharma - Big Med - Big insurance! Big Sickness!
Like my sister and her dentist husband. After I sent them so much good info why you shouldn’t get the vaccine especially my and many people’s opinion or discernment that they are experimental vaccines and very little clinical trials that were mere months long wasn’t enough, they went ahead a got jabbed. I asked my brother-n-law why. He said several of his doctor friends were getting it and he was gonna go along with them. I am embarrassed for him. My sister said she was not going to give up traveling. So now all I can do for them is pray.
Amazing just how many otherwise intelligent people were swept away in the false science and propaganda. Just goes to show intelligence is not all what it seems and so very relative
I don't think they truly understood what They were doing. Too brainwashed - like many of us - who trusted the doc and pharma so long. One "smart" friend was determined to travel at any cost. When I asked her if she knew if would shorten her life, she said she'd lived long enough! But she really suffered when her younger sister died. I was so sorry for her.
don't think I'll take investment advice from your bro in law lol ! and yes, my zombie friends all wanted to travel and go out eat and get 'back to normal'. whcih is the furthest thing from the truth for them...they entered the zombie apocolypse.
LOL, jabberwackies.
The psychosis is SET-IN so deep in many isn't it
We certainly saw this when they stood by - or took part in - murder of the helpless ones ill in the hospital with the virus.
I remember when it wasn't allowed, and it was felt that this should be a doctor's decision. But the pharma industry lobbied hard for it and got it - and within a few decades has captured most all of media and academia, as well as a good portion of Congress. I suspect one big reason they must charge so much (it isn't the "R&D they always cite") is that they have to pay off everyone in any position of power to do things their way and then indemnify them from any harm.
At the very minimum, require full disclosure. As in the highest price you may have to pay." commercial.
As in: "It will cost you as much as $XXX per month. Medicare has it as a schedule Y drug"
That alone would end about 90 percent of the advertising.
Australia doesn't have pharmaceutical advertising and that didn't help us at all.
Australia was a unique case. It appeared from here that the taste of power and the idea that being an island nation could protect you combined with the narrative coming from the WHO and most all of the west got on a train they couldn't stop.
It wasn't as unique as you may believe. New Zealand did the same thing as did many pacific island nations...and China went hardest of all. Not sure what their stance on pharma advertising is though.
Great podcast today between Jordan Peterson and Jay Battacharia on how the same authoritarian measures were undertaken around the world. Very interesting and enlightening.
Have you seen the latest from Naomi Wolf? She is really embracing her Biblical heritage as a Jew, but I have the same perspective as a Christian - our views of God, evil and the old gods are not different at all. https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/have-the-ancient-gods-returned
I'll probably do something similar as part of my essay series.
I will never understand what happened in Aus, Can, nor NZ. I always thought their gov'ts were even more representative than the US, yet all became even harsher than the UK. I felt they were at least as independent as the US.
The Australian constitution was written by administrators on behalf of a monarch and mainly concerned with how parliament is to be conducted. We only have two constitutional rights: freedom of religion and freedom to pass between state borders, both of which were suspended under covid and freedom of religion is routinely trampled on every day. To be honest, the Australian constitution is what you would expect from midwit middle managers running a multinational corporation.
There are really only two major parties and they are hopelessly corrupt and candidates are filtered via preselection. We have minor parties that can stick it to them but don't really have much power. The preselection powerbrokers are unelected (like lobbyists in the US) and in the state of NSW the major Liberal Party (conservatives) powerbroker has Pfizer as his main client. Every Liberal in NSW has to play good with Pfizer.
What happened to Aus, Can and NZ is that we have a royal as our head of state - not the people and we do not have a Bill of Rights. My opinion is that our constitution was also not divinely inspired like the US'.
Edit: And the only means of citizens to speak freely on public record (at local council) was just taken away in Western Australia. The minister in charge of local government decided that citizens may only speak to agenda items. This means that if there is an issue in the community that you want to get on record, you are not allowed. It has to clear multiple layers of difficult administration first. Why? "mental health of staff." Why in reality? The people were exposing their corruption.
The ridiculous assertion in recent years that things like “mental health of staff” has surely got to end a swift but painful death soon. The idea that claiming to be upset or offended should rule others’ ability to speak is ludicrous. That is nothing but an exercise in raw power.
Woke has always been used as a blunt weapon against dissent. Meanwhile, people who are genuinely struggling with mental health, like veterans, kill themselves.
Helped me understand. Seems the UK itself operates under better rules.
I equate Pharma advertising with banned marketing of cigarettes and hard liquor. Most recently “Got Covid - Paxlovid “ remember the “Got Milk?” campaign? There are more accompanying warnings in the same adds of side effects up to death.
And it’s so ironic that cigarettes were allowed for so long but then banned, only to be replaced by pharma! I think liquor has always been allowed in print, but less so TV, although beer ads have obviously been a huge part of TV advertising for a long time.
Concerning "1. End requirement/recommendation for any vaccine with less than 50% efficacy."
This must be "1. End requirement/recommendation for any vaccine." because they lied about the efficacy and will do so again.

Sunsetting the Patriot Act is a good start. I think there should be a Constitutional Amendment that ALL laws sunset in ten years. They can always be passed again--give the Legislature something constructive to do. No "voice vote" passage.
Not sure if this was already mentioned, but it is of utmost importance that people be prevented from calling the current experimental shots “vaccines” going forward. They vaccinate against absolutely nothing. The definition of “vaccine” should be reverted back to its pre-cov*d meaning. We call flu shots “flu shots,” and on years when I skipped my flu shot I was never called “unvaxxed.” So why in h*ll are people being labeled as “unvaxxed” for turning down these shots that are not nearly as effective (or safe) as yearly flu shots????? This has to change. I, for one, will from now on answer “Yes” when asked if I am vaccinated. It should be obvious to everyone by now that the current c*vid shots have nothing to do with vaccination status.
This guy has something to say on the subject:
https://aaronsiri.substack.com/p/mrna-vaccines-are-vaccines
I have no idea who he is. But if after my last polio or MMR shot years ago I still got polio or measles 4-5 times a year, but my unjabbed neighbor rarely (if ever) got sick once they had natural immunity, I’d have a problem with calling those shots “vaccines.” I would also have a problem with flu shots being called vaccines if I got flu a few times a year after getting a yearly shot. Why bother? He’s stating that the shots provide immunity, and I’ve seen zero evidence of that. We can agree to disagree. I still say that shots that require endless boosters and only make you more likely to get the illness should not be called vaccines. No immunity, not a vaccine.
People don’t need vaccines.
You got polio 5 times a year? Uh, no. This is crazy talk.
Exactly. I did not. Because I got an actual vaccine. That’s my point. If you get a shot to prevent getting a virus, but you then get the virus 3+ times a year and are told to get booster after booster, while getting sicker and sicker (or worse…you die suddenly), you did not get a vaccine. You are an experiment.
👍👏💥
Have you seen the child and teenage “vaccine” schedule???? TOTALLY UNNECESSARY in my opinion and absolutely egregious! Parents need to wake up!
I'd say "HELLNO" to 60 days for Em. Powers, in fact, I'd go as far to say NO EMERGENCY POWERS EVER!!! Bottom line, govt ain't the boss of me, and I'll advocate keeping it that way.
HELL YES ... My life ... my decisions ... end of story.
You are all assuming the Covid debacle was an honest response to a real pandemic. In my humble opinion I lean towards those who believe this was part of a larger plan to damage the western countries and move forward with the WEF depopulation agenda. The evidence I see:
Death of seniors by Covid, intubation, Remdesivir, dispair, etc.
Death of those with and without health issues by Covid vaccine
Death of the poor by skyrocketing cost of living, food, heat, rent.
Legalizing of Euthanasia in the western countries.
Still births due to the Covid vaccine.
Multilation by transgender surgeries lowers birth rate.
etc, etc
Then there is the WHO proposal to be the sole world authority for pandemic response after they failed
to properly handle the last pandemic.
So many other clues exist so keep this in mind when you are looking at the Covid Pandemic. There may be a bigger plan.
I would never in my wildest dreams think I would ever support a position like this, but I have steadily come around to that way of thinking. There can only be two reasons - such wide-scale bumbling and incompetence on the part of all so-called experts and authorities as to be incomprehensible and unbelievable; or an evil, cynical Malthusian agenda on the part of those with power and money who plan to come out ahead of all the fabricated and exaggerated crises that are being visited upon us. The television blares out the latest crisis with wall-to-wall lockstep precision, and the fear is whipped up, while the cash is raked in. The medical-industrial-military-techno complex has become an out-of-control beast, set to ravage humanity. It needs to be taken down.
Yes you reminded me that we seem to be going from one crisis to another these days. This is not abnormal in history but is unusual in modern history where the world was supposed to have matured and has better control of itself. I continue to put the pieces of the puzzel together. Some other pieces are:
US government completly ignoring vaccine deaths.
Damage to the economy from lockdowns.
Ability of China to rapidly "fill the gap" when US manufacturing was shut down during the
pandemic.
China sourcing so much of the common prescription drug supply in the west.
Loss of critical thinking in the west (why did so many people take a vaccine that my wife and
her friend figured out in spring of 2021 was no good!)
Loss of manufacturing capacity in the US.
People being so busy with day to day life that they don't protest bad government policy loudly (a few tweets don't count).
The bad rap the name 'Follow the Science" has now because government and MSM use it
falsely to push their own incorrect agendas.
The news that the BRIC countries want to create a replacement for the US Dollar.
and so much more.
Oh and they banned ivermectin and Hydroxhchloroquin that proved more effective than the vaccine for Corona Virus early in the pandemic.
Oh! And end ALL subsidies to WHO! Today!!
Get out totally from the WHO!!
which trump did!
AMEN!
Most of these wonderful ideas require state and federal legislative action. How are we going to express the need for numerous changes to our elected "rulers" -- since they do not appear to think anything is wrong with the cockeyed systems currently in place?
The problem was stated ever so eloquently, and ever so succinctly by Lord Acton 150 years ago: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men…"
Government is the entity which possesses the monopoly on the "legal" use of force. The drive to corruption is irresistible.
The history of man is totalitarian governments with a tiny, tiny minority with unimaginable wealth and unimaginable power. We are simply reverting to the mean.
Love the historical context. Nothing truly changes does it. Just the players of the era
As King Solomon said: “There is nothing new under the sun”
Most of these suggestions are like advocating term limits (our Founding Fathers' biggest error of omission). They are great ideas that will go nowhere without the support of a majority of politicians who benefit from or at least like the present system - which means they will never be adopted.
Exactly. I have seen literally thousands of suggestions over my longish life. Most, if not all, would massively improve matters. None of which have ANY chance of being implemented for exactly the reason you cite.
My personal favorite: Require ALL elected politicians to personally prepare their own income tax returns without ANY professional assistance. They can use low cost software (maybe a $100 limit) and call the IRS (anonymously) for help. No more.
Penalty of perjury for first offense, jail time for second.
No chance in Hades.
And kind of off the subject but they should also have to register their car in person at DMV, no assistants allowed
Yeah I've always had the same thought that Congress should be required to prepare their own taxes .... and maybe audited every year too.
I would that requirement would better apply to State legislators rather than Congress.
We have to find a WAY to break this barrier
Have to VET who we elect better and have a better citizen auditing ability and not simply a vote. Actually hold them accountable as a servant
We saw this in the last election when at least one of the winners was found to have lied numerous times about his accomplishments! And he was not tossed out!
Our current President has a life-long history of plagiarism and outright lying, going far beyond exaggeration and funny false stories. I can't think of any basis for removing George Santos that doesn't apply equally to Joe Biden. Hopefully, the voters will remove both of them at the next opportunity.
lying two faced pony soldier the puppet IS
You have a point there! All liars need to go!! What a great day that would be!!
Which is why Santos is in office. NONE of them want the lid off that jar.
If they tossed out the liars, the place would be empty. (A great idea).
The problem with Santos (?) is that he is an idiot. Not even a good liar.
You lie to the Government--you go to jail, at best. They lie to you? Nothing.
Except he didn't go to jail - he's now in office ins spite of it! Agree - he is an idiot! And now in office!
Do we really “elect” anyone anymore? I think that day is gone. We’ve seen it and have now been trained not to ask any questions when things are obviously Not Right!
That is the intent of true totalitarian regimes. All countries who are communist or Marxist use the tactic to squash dissent. Commie 101 really. They feel "critical thought, liberty or 1st amendment rights" have NO place. They will develop words like "anti vaxxer, vaccine hesitant, election denier or domestic terrorist or racist etc" to make it appear you are the problem or do not understand. Typical commiecrat 101
I continue to vote to show support for those candidates I agree with.
