Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 194

We are now in the fourth year of these open posts. When I first posted a tentative hypothesis on the course of the Covid phenomenon, I had no idea that discussion on the subject would still be necessary more than three years later, much less that it would turn into so lively, complex, and troubling a conversation. Still, here we are. Crude death rates and other measures of collapsing public health are anomalously high in many countries, but nobody in authority wants to talk about the inadequately tested experimental Covid injections that are the most likely cause; ~~public health authorities~~ government shills for the pharmaceutical industry are still trying to push through laws that will allow them to force vaccinations on anyone they want; public trust in science is collapsing; and the story continues to unfold.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry and its government enablers are causing injury and death on a massive scale. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its wholly owned politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.

3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.

4. If you plan on making off topic comments, please go away. This is an open post for discussion of the Covid epidemic, the vaccines, drugs, policies, and other measures that supposedly treat it, and other topics directly relevant to those things. It is not a place for general discussion of unrelated topics. Nor is it a place to ask for medical advice; giving such advice, unless you're a licensed health care provider, legally counts as practicing medicine without a license and is a crime in the US. Don't even go there.

5. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.

6. Please don't just post bare links without explanation. A sentence or two telling readers what's on the other side of the link is a reasonable courtesy, and if you don't include it, your attempted post will be deleted.

Please also note that nothing posted here should be construed as medical advice, which neither I nor the commentariat (excepting those who are licensed medical providers) are qualified to give. Please take your medical questions to the licensed professional provider of your choice.

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

There's been talk back and forth about whether or not folks have been seeing more accidents or worse drivers or not, but I've noticed in the last year or so that people are extremely slow to react to traffic lights changing from red to green. Like, people will wait a whole 5 to 10 seconds before hitting the gas, and when they do, they accelerate slower than an asthmatic fat-activist trying to build up to a jog.

I've taken to watching the other drivers, and the people who do this aren't on their phones, aren't noticeably elderly or infirm, nor are they younger, inexperienced drivers - most of them tend to be somewhere in their 30s or 40s. I'll admit that I learned to drive in an area that expected a high level of driver responsiveness - if you didn't accelerate within 3 seconds of the light changing to green, some jerkwad behind you was going to start aggressively honking - but this seems a little abnormally slow.

Has anyone else noticed the same?

-Calliope

Yes, we've noticed it too and have been wondering what's going on for a couple of years now. Same as you, we're seeing people driving slowly, not reacting, drifting over the central line, endless dithering at junctions or pulling out unexpectedly, all sorts. All ages as well.

I also learned to drive in a city and then had a few years on a scooter riding the insane roads of a city in Taiwan; it was like being in a computer game written by someone on acid, with almost no rules. If you didn't respond fast enough, you'd likely end up very damaged or dead. I honed my reaction times there and am glad of it now, because they're needed more than ever.

I have a generally delayed response time (autism and mild motor dyspraxia) and I often react to the light changing to green faster than other drivers.

I'm not disputing that the jab could be involved here but I have been driving since the mid-1980s. My parents insisted I take a defensive driving course at that time. Driving was atrocious then and, in my opinion, has just gotten steadily worse. I've found that as drivers age, they just seem to get lazier and lazier about observing the niceties that help to make driving a safe and stress-free experience.

Turn on the signal lights to indicate your intentions to those around you? Yea, right! Shoulder-check before switching lanes? Nope. Courteously allow a signalling driver to switch lanes ahead of you? Not a chance! Drive while high? What possible problems could that cause? Slow, careless driving has been a problem for over 50 years. It is only one of many.

Around here, most drivers still drive as if they are on the Autobahn, ignoring maximum speed limits as if they don't exist. A slow, careless driver just exacerbates the problem under these circumstances.

Does this have anything to do with mobile phones and collapsing attention spans?

I mean, I suppose it could - there's certainly been an uptick in accidents that could be blamed on distracted driving. But the slow drivers that I've been watching are watching the road and don't have their phones out.

Also, this is an extremely new symptom I've noticed. I learned how to drive at the beginning of the pandemic, since I couldn't take public transportation anymore and driver's Ed was all online instead of being a multi-week in-person commitment, so my comments about "when I learned how to drive people were super fast" is an experience from 5 years ago, not 25.

Another possible cause medical Mary Jane. Blueberry

Good call.

Here it's not just medical, recreational is legal and if you walk a couple miles along busy streets or drive a ways with your windows down, being passed by a cloud of skunk-like stench is an everyday experience - perhaps more likely to happen than not. I was just talking with co-workers about it and they had all noticed the same thing. People smoke weed while driving A LOT. I'm not anti-cannabis but not while driving, please!!!

It's not just in legal states. I catch a whiff [i]every single time[/i] that I drive through Atlanta. And this is on the downtown connector where there are 16 lanes at one point!

It's to the point where I notice it as an anomaly when I pass through the city without smelling it!

My partner and I where rear-ended last year while waiting to make a right turn. Fortunately, the driver was not going very fast (basically just drifting forward) so no damage to our car. It was clear when we spoke to the young man that he was high and feeling mellow. So, I concur about the legalization of marijuana being the likely culprit.

Caldathras

Traffic does seem to have gotten crazier here since the pandemic, part of trend, but on steroids.

A slight delay in responding to a green traffic light (or "walk" signal for pedestrians) can be a life saver here - around here it is best to be aware of when signals change and then check to make sure that some impatient/impudent driver (or drivers!) isn't speeding through an intersection (this includes cyclists who blithely ignore signals and frequently travel in the wrong direction on designated bike lanes). I've also noticed at one light in particular that the left-turn arrow turns from green to red in the blink of an eye and sometimes will last a reasonable length of time (the programming for this light is apparently poorly synchronized). It pays to pay attention and proceed as quickly yet cautiously.

There's a lot of crazy driving here, mostly too fast, using the freeways and some city streets (and, presumably, some rural roads) as raceways - Yikes! Drivers going way too slow are infrequent.

That's what I notice here - more people than ever driving not just too fast, but more dangerously. Passing on a yellow line in the middle of a blind curve, such that I no longer drive on that particular road. Using left turn lanes as passing lanes to pass cars, like my own, who are driving at the speed limit. Not stopping at stop signs or stop lights. A higher fraction of cars speeding on the interstates and on local roads alike.

Been driving since late 70’s and whilst the volume of traffic is now much greater and there have always been stupidities, it seemed as though there was a step-change once people came back out onto the roads en masse (2022?). To begin we wondered if folks had ‘forgotten’ road skills but it has not improved, if anything it seems worse now.
There is something more going on.
Multiple potential causes come to mind but the level of dithering at mini-islands without lights but based on filtering is up massively. Stuck behind watching three vehicles at a mini island all stopped and looking at each other waiting for someone else to do something, travelling at 25-30mph on roads with 50 or 60mph limits, turning right (cutting across traffic on 50mph road) at maybe 2mph, and I do mean slow walking speed turning onto a side road.

To begin we thought phones or booze or drugs (prescribed or illicit) or something, and we started paying attention to the drivers. No pattern in terms of ages (young/old) or sex (female/male) the behaviour is across the board.

Not only do people seem to be taking much longer to make decisions and act, they are making increasingly poor decisions… one of the best just recently was being behind a learner driver on the main road passing a cross roads junction (no lights). Vehicles on side road give way until clear and then can join carriageway. As the learner reached the junction, the waiting vehicle started to pull out slowly (fortunately); the learner had to swerve and crossed the central line. I got a good look at the driver as I passed – 30s, face completely impassive and even some seconds after I had passed they were still sitting halfway out of the junction (there had been no vehicles behind me).

Something is affecting the functioning of people’s minds and multiple factors could be in play – we don’t think so much now on ‘what’ could be the cause[s] and we’ve gone way beyond defensive driving – it’s got so bad we joke along the lines of an old TV series “Be careful out there”

Whether it is individual or cumulative damage from injections, solar storms, emf, pollution or ultra-processed food, anxiety, worries, tensions, prescription drugs, internet/tv media or whatever, I really can’t say; but cognitive function and decision-making appears to have declined.

And just to confound matters, another thing we’re seeing is more aggressive driving – cities are always a pig for that, but locally has tended to be more relaxed, but seeing more lack of consideration which had, until 2021 been noticeable here.

Question now is whether that decline stabilises or deteriorates further.
If 2020 thru 2024 was Act 1, there is a nagging feeling that Act 2 is going to be a doozy!
Re-reading that list of potential causes gave me pause - just another symptom of stuff coming down the planes while basically, the way of life in what passes for our current society is pretty toxic. Happy days ;)

edited to add:
One more thing – the last year or so, for no apparent reason, there has been a rash of 20mph zones appearing (previously 30mph); nothing quite like following someone down a 1 in 10 hill at 15mph… Perhaps it was uncharitable of me, but my thinking then was “You don’t need a car you need a mobility scooter.”

Edited (super low speed) 2025-04-23 11:01 (UTC)

I am now following ice rules year around. The number of red light runners is just through the roof here! So I would be one of the drivers you see pausing at a green light, because I don't need to be hit broadside by one of those oblivious and/or in a hurry drivers.

I almost got hit while stopped at a traffic light Monday. N. bound one-way, and someone decided to turn S. on it, but fortunately saw my van and hit her brakes. I was only in the left lane because I had to turn left in two blocks: it's rare to go three days without seeing someone driving the wrong way on a one way since mid-2021. We have to drive much more defensively these days. Sure, we'd be in the right, but being right is small compensation for being hit.

BoysMom

Reminds me of a PSA from back in the day, something along the lines of "Drive defensively. Don't be dead right."

Love that!

My driver's ed instructor liked "The laws of physics trump the rules of the road."

Today I was fifth car in a left turn yield on green lane. The light went yellow: car one went, car two went. The light went red: car three went.

Says I to the youngsters: Aaaand that's why you count to five when the light turns green. Too bad there wasn't a cop around!

BoysMom

PS don't get me started on bikes: half the local riders believe in neither physics nor man's laws. Hate it when they get themselves killed.

DOD removes hurdle for military personnel who left over COVID-19 vax mandate to return to service

"No former Service member will be asked to say they were not coerced if they want to apply for reinstatement after voluntarily leaving the military to avoid taking a #COVID19 vaccine," the Pentagon said.

https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/dod-removes-hurdle-military-personnel-who-left-over-covid-19-vax

seems like good news

Is that to provide CYA for the military or to help the rehired person? If someone says he was coerced, does it not look bad for the military?

It'll be interesting to see what the uptake will be in response in the US of A.

Canada's armed forces has been in such a terrible freefall for years that about a year ago the same 'forgiveness for members who left due to the mandates' was offered. IIRC all but 4% of those who were given the offer told the CAF in no uncertain terms where they can shove their injections!

Ron M

If they join, they will be sent to defend Ukraine, right?

That's likely a safe assumption...

Ron M

And when they return to service, they will still have to take all of the other injections that military personnel are required to take.

I often deal with PMC people. They are trained in a system of extreme division of labor. That means you may be an expert, and sometimes the only expert in the whole world, to treat the middle finger of the left hand. However, if someone asks questions about the middle finger of right hand or, god forbid, thumb or toe, you are clueless. You are expected to refer him to another expert.

How do these ultra-specialized "experts" verify information about anything else? For something to be considered valid by them, it has to come from an expert in another narrow field. So, for virology, they only trust virologists from some big name institution. In fact, they may prefer to go to SARS-corona-virologists, because how can someone studying AIDS virus also be an expert in SARS-coronavirus? That is their mindset, and I am talking about university professors, not small fries.

Then they take the same logic to the next level. For news to be valid, the articles have to come from the "experts" of news, which usually means NY Times. How can a blog or website tell them anything about any topic? When I talk to them, I see them verify all kinds of information by searching at NY Times and making sure the newspaper agrees.

All kinds of logic fail on them. They appear rational on the surface, but probe deeper and you find extreme irrationality because of their expertise and information verification system.

Moreover, respecting and deferring to the expertise of those in other narrow fields reinforces the validity their own claim to be deferred to in their tightly-defined field.

I know medics who deferred without question to the experts in Public Health.

I heard it the called the silo effect decades ago. It happens in large organizations, government or corporate. It seems to be the natural outcome of any large human organization where centralized control is attempted. Eventually it becomes too dis-functional and inefficient and will collapse under its own weight. Think the Soviet Union.

In nature it is self organizing like in hives, flocks, and swarms. That is called murmuration. When it is centralized and micro managed it is called the Dunning-Kreuger effect.

Hello Anonymous— I too deal often with PMC people. My family, for the most part, and most of my colleagues. Most of my friends, too. (I've been avoiding a lot of old friends... I don't know how many of these relationships are going to survive much longer.) So I am very familiar with their attitudes about experts. Many continue to read the NYT as an oracle of truth. With one exception that I am aware of, all have happily taken several covid jabs in 2021-2023.

I agree with you, that their narrow focus and information verifiction system is flawed. And those flaws have actually led to some of them getting themselves killed.

The biggest lesson for me in this whole covid catastrophe has been to trust my own judgement, and most especially, to trust my own intuition. Fortunately for me learning to trust my own judgement and my own intuition (and to know the difference) was a lesson I had already learned some years ago, so this was less a lesson really than a "refresher." I got through it very well; still, it's not like everything with me is hunkydory. I find this irrationality in the people around me continually disorienting. And, I would say, dispiriting. This forum has been a saving grace for me.

SDPM

"information verifiction system": lol! I'm guessing "verifiction" was a typo, but I'm choosing to read it as a portmanteau of "verifying fiction".

Yeah, the NY Times seems to be what Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai. (At least for the PMC crowd I used to hang out with.)

Just today, I got a few belly laughs from reading Matt Taibbi's mockery of David Brooks ("priest of the elites") for calling for a mass movement to oppose Trump. And then, later today,when casually taking the temperature of a local TDS-infested list-serve, someone quoted the same article glowingly, without a trace of irony.

Thanks to JMG, this makes perfect sense to me now-- any self-described expert is massively threatened by Trump's rejection of standard "expert" opinion.

*Ochre Harebrained Curmudgeon*

*OHC*— What I'm hearing (I try not to laugh) from the PMCs in my world (who assume I agree with them because, in their way of thinking, there is no other way of thinking), is that Trump and his followers will lose bigly in the midterm elections because "the whole country is going is rise up against Trump because he is Literally Hitler."

So, they are very confused about what's happening and why. I can't say I have all the answers, either, but I don't think I'm quite as lost as they are, still believing their doctors (who are baffled) and reading the NYT.

My local pharmacy is still advertising walk-in covid vaxxes. I don't think there are many takers, however.

SDPM

Exactly, SDPM. Because all good, intelligent people, aka NYT readers, think the same way. And what has the NYT ever been mistaken about, after all?

*(Well... they might not go so far as to ask that question.)

*Ochre Harebrained Curmudgeon*

As I talked before my PKD divinatory model we are now until December of 2027 in the Roman equivalent of Severus Alexander the last emperor before the 3rd century crisis the crisis that almost ended the Roman Empire. Thus this time of Trump until the December of 2027 as bad as it may get with inflation and economic crisis, will be the best time in the next almost 30 years, Because many don't know what those Roman times looked like, I am quoting here from the excellent reading of Edward Gibbon's The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire, my notes in square brackets, but I recommend reading the whole chapters to make an idea what the next 2 and half year would entail:

https://www.ccel.org/g/gibbon/decline/volume1/chap6.htm

The lenity of the emperor confirmed the insolence of the troops; the legions imitated the example of the guards, and defended their prerogative of licentiousness with the same furious obstinacy. The administration of Alexander was an unavailing struggle against the corruption of his age. In Illyricum, in Mauritania, in Armenia, in Mesopotamia, in Germany, fresh mutinies perpetually broke out; his officers were murdered, his authority was insulted, and his life at last sacrificed to the fierce discontents of the army. (76) Firmness of the emperor, One particular fact well deserves to be recorded, as it illustrates the manners of the troops, and exhibits a singular instance of their return to a sense of duty and obedience. Whilst the emperor lay at Antioch, in his Persian expedition, the particulars of which we shall hereafter relate, the punishment of some soldiers, who had been discovered in the baths of women, excited a sedition in the legion to which they belonged. Alexander ascended his tribunal, and with a modest firmness represented to the armed multitude the absolute necessity as well as his inflexible resolution of correcting the vices introduced by his impure predecessor, and of maintaining the discipline, which could not be relaxed without the ruin of the Roman name and empire.

[...]
[my note: the failure to completely purge Elagabalus’ cronies (Biden Admin), but the financial corruption that persists even in the emperor's quarters]

Notwithstanding this act of jealous cruelty, as well as some instances of avarice, with which Mamaea is charged, the general tenor of her administration was equally for the benefit of her son and of the empire. With the approbation of the senate, she chose sixteen of the wisest and most virtuous senators, as a perpetual council of state, before whom every public business of moment was debated and determined. The celebrated Ulpian, equally distinguished by his knowledge of, and his respect for, the laws of Rome, was at their head; and the prudent firmness of this aristocracy restored order and authority to the government. As soon as they had purged the city from foreign superstition and luxury, the remains of the capricious tyranny of Elagabalus, they applied themselves to remove his worthless creatures from every department of public administration, and to supply their places with men of virtue and ability. Learning, and the love of justice, became the only recommendations for civil offices; valour, and the love of discipline, the only qualifications for military employments.(68)

[...]

Their praefect, the wise Ulpian, was the friend of the laws and of the people; he was considered as the enemy of the soldiers, and to his pernicious counsels every scheme of reformation was imputed. Some trifling accident blew up their discontent into a furious mutiny; and a civil war raged, during three days, in Rome, whilst the life of that excellent minister was defended by the grateful people. Terrified, at length, by the sight of some houses in flames, and by the threats of a general conflagration, the people yielded with a sigh, and left the virtuous, but unfortunate, Ulpian to his fate. He was pursued into the Imperial palace, and massacred at the feet of his master, who vainly strove to cover him with the purple, and to obtain his pardon from the inexorable soldiers. Such was the deplorable weakness of government, that the emperor was unable to revenge his murdered friend and his insulted dignity, without stooping to the arts of patience and dissimulation.

Timewise in the Roman Empire model, Biden Admin has been both Caracalla and Elegabalus reigns, which are amongst the most vile tyrannies in the Roman history.

Archivist, could you please do all of your corrections at once, rather than posting one at a time? I just had to review each of the five corrections you made to this comment individually...

Excuse me -- all seven of them. Two more were waiting when I went back to the inbox. :-(

Oh I am so, so, sorry, I didn't know this is how it works I thought DW presents you just the latest one...

I apologize and thank you for your patience.

It's because it is, at base a belief system, and the people you are talking about are simply devout believers.

To get ahead in the PMC world, you have to conform. You need to give the Right Answers starting in elementary school, and keep giving them your whole life. Some people may be able to fake it, but for most, they simply internalize a belief system centered around the Religion of Progress, the near-infallibility of Science, Academia, and Experts, and the entire PMC world view of what is good/bad, true/false, etc. The system ruthlessly selects for conformity and a willingness to internalize a set of fundamental beliefs about how the world works.

It has long been thus, but covid really turned the screws on the belief system, if you know what I mean. It was so absurd that a small number of people who were part of the belief system - and a lot more who were sort of on the edges and hadn't really thought about it much - suddenly realized just how absurd it was. Meanwhile, the True Believers doubled down on the belief system in the face of its failure (a common response among the very religious, apparently, there were studies on cults related to failed prophecies that seemed to demonstrate as much), and continue to rabidly defend their faith. Which is what it is - blind faith. That's why logic, data, evidence, reason, real world experience, etc., have no impact on it.

IMO, if you can step back and see it for the faith-based system it is, and the indoctrinated true believers for the devout cultists they are (remember, their ability to make sense of the world and their whole lives hangs on this belief system), then it's easier to understand and easier to deal with.

You helped me see something here.

I saw a cartoon out on FB - a man talking to a teen girl on a cellphone.

He - What are you upset about now?

She - (checks phone) They haven't told me yet.

I think a lot of people have an absolute terror of thinking for themselves and having to make up their own minds, and then be responsible for their choice. It is a step many are not ready to take.

We've had discussions here and on Magic Monday about how most people don't think but just react. It seems to me that one of the first and most important steps toward thinking is being willing to have your own thoughts and opinions. I suspect that the terror of being responsible for what you think and choose is a Guardian at the Threshold that keeps many stuck in the reactive loop.

On FB a FB friend announced that after much testing she had been diagnosed with Long Covid which she developed in 2021 the same year she got the covid vaxx. She had caught covid in 2020, recovered and still wanted the vaxx. Such is the power of propaganda. Many others piped up with their long covid diagnoses.

This to me is another sign of how people, in collusion with the medical establishment, won't accept they have been vaccine injured. 'Long covid' is the perfect cover story.

It's like so many things with this whole covidian con, masks, lockdowns, "safe and effectives,"— it's a story that works well for those who don't care if you die, don't care if you suffer. So the ones who benefit from all this covidian stuff, yeah, "long covid." Works great for them. Whew, I can smell the sulphur.

And moreover they blame the terrible “science-denying anti-vaxxes” for their predicament.

“Only If those anti-vaxxers took the shot (or followed the mask mandate or [insert some absurd protocol], Covid would have been over before touching me.”

On FB a FB friend announced that after much testing she had been diagnosed with Long Covid which she developed in 2021 the same year she got the covid vaxx. She had caught covid in 2020, recovered and still wanted the vaxx. Such is the power of propaganda.

The fact that this people are caught in this social media tells a lot. At least of 51% of traffic on Internet are now Bots:

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

The power of propaganda is now: bots, how can you fight that unless you get out, Matrix has become reality. Also in the movie script initially humans were processing information for the AI, and afterwards they simplified the script and made them batteries because they taught the idea of processing information was too difficult for the moviegoers.

The person I am referring to is not a bot. She is an esoteric and prolific author, in fact.

I am implying that since they spend much time in that unmoderated medium they end up with bot's opinions

As much as I think this is a huge problem, the Imperva Report is not ideal evidence for the power of bots to shape narratives. Google's web-scraping for their search engine is a bot, and counted as "internet traffic". So too is all the data gathering to train the AI systems. Web traffic is not a good metric to use to estimate the prevalence of AI activity on the internet; far too much of it is people downloading content for various uses, not active.

(Having said that, I think the fact more than half of the traffic on the internet is bots of various sorts is troubling for a number of reasons. Among them is the sheer waste of resources and energy this implies is happening; and the fact that apparently none of the tech giants, who have to maintain huge amounts of bandwidth and server capacity to deal with traffic, seems to have a way to do anything about it. That is troubling for many reasons for the future of the internet.)

While I agree that we don't know the extent of the power of bots on the narratives. I think this pretty much suggests that is not negligible.

The "long covid" narrative was already in place by mid 2020. I think it was made up in anticipation of the vaccine injuries. It had also become blindingly obvious by late 2020 that covid didn't have a high fatality rate, so again the "long covid" narrative became useful as a way to continue the fear around the virus. I vaguely remember one of the chief health officers here in Oz using the fear of long covid to justify the ongoing lockdowns at about this time.

The perfect cover story indeed.

Bingo

Right now I am sitting with the news that RFK Jr's pick for studying and finding the cause of "autism"**, an individual called David Geier, has administered lupron to autistic children, following a theory that some autistic traits are caused by "hyperandrogenicity". Lupron is a dangerous and experimental puberty blocker, now banned in many states for its use in "gender-affirming" therapy in underaged children.

Midwestern doctor discusses the problems with lupron, and similar drugs, here: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/hormone-blockers-are-very-dangerous

The Geier Lupron connection is attested here: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=bdd4fc2a71542335b57edbcd77b387d3484cb514

and here: https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/40365110/Treatment_of_Elevated_Male_Hormones_in_A20151125-7614-3lxma3-libre.pdf?1448468052=&response-content-disposition=inline%3B+filename%3DTreatment_of_Elevated_Male_Hormones_in_A.pdf&Expires=1745352640&Signature=XInuSSkeBEoh0IbcN3Wx6-jkdT0ttbZmzfwJPAjljj1P77ztpGvQb6Dg6~ZHE52-rv~GabOp~tEJN5zbPOPu9J-BpNZPjAxOem-ZfU-xerPSN8Thur4eKpOnY~IwQ~7xg6Go-qdbpvZTT7gve4JVoKA3lYkGYyyClDU8EB17rPdpXUm5hyrDvapGEprwAGRMXgNVk3Bw5M~ygOq2wkWidhMpP0tm00eXnh7d5xRhPrr~5kyrz-Xfcn~9wBjqM1ue0P9BipWtYc3piutmVk3qIEj6edpvh1S1BgyJk8N7pimpbY-JGCaRW4NGbNrklqcpl9oBV0YAoa1PoiAhBk8vUg__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA

(Apologies for messy links - they would not work in any shortened way)

Anyway, this appointment appears destined to end in a meltdown where the issues of contention could lead in many directions. Those who have argued against puberty blockers for gender affirmation will hardly be in favour of Geier's appointment. And those who are inclined to oppose Geier's appointment because - RFK Jr is a dangerous anti-vaxxer, and so is Geier, will find it difficult to explain why prescribing lupron to underage children is suddenly dangerous if you are autistic, but not if you suffer gender dysphoria (and what about underage children who are both?)

In other words, whether intentionally or not, this is by way of becoming a very large. and difficult to disentangle, flustercluck! Also not conducive to the introduction of a scientific approach to the problem.

**as if "autism" is a single, well-defined "thing" for which a single cause exists, but the
potential futility of this effort is not what this post is about.

Lupron was originally developed for prostrate cancer, then it got repurposed as a chemical castration drug for sex offenders. It was also used to stop precocious puberty but only for a 6 month period iirc, as it was recognised to be dangerous for longer term use. However with the advent of 'gender affirming care' all caution was thrown to the wind and it's now used recklessly and for cosmetic reasons, followed up by cross sex hormones.

It reduces testosterone levels and I am not against it being trialled on autistic kids as long as the necessary safeguards are in place. The main thing is that they are offering hope to the parents and kids and not accepting the epidemic of autism as some kind of normal. It's not.

My major problem with what I read of Geier's papers is that their approach relied on the same trickery as using statins to reduce cholesterol measurements (based on the belief this may reduce heart disease incidence). . Testosterone levels are not a disease, they are a marker. Their idea was "mess with the marker and MAYBE this affects the disease." To me this logic is exactly the same as using white face makeup to alter the redness of a face, in the hope that reducing the redness will affect the physical condition causing the redness.

If history is a guide, vaccines will go away when everyone including officials start to ignore them. Not as a result of an official investigation, a lawsuit, a vote, etc.

Thanks for your reply with book details last week.

Vaccines will go away when everyone especially parents refuse them. There is a lot of propaganda in the UK trying to get parents to jab their kids.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/marketing-campaign-launches-to-drive-up-childhood-vaccinations

"Uptake levels of childhood vaccines offered through the routine NHS vaccination programme in England have been falling over the past decade across all vaccines" GOOD!

From a news article about this today, it seems there are already several mandatory state registries. Most operate along the same lines as birth defect registries -- birth defects are reported so that in theory the state could offer help to affected families and could spot clusters. But autism, especially high-functioning, late-diagnosed autism, is not the same as a birth defect. Some of these registries are scary. From this story:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/states-with-mandated-autism-databases-as-rfk-jr-s-registry-criticized/ar-AA1Dts7K

though some are voluntary, others are mandatory, usually requiring doctors to report all children under 18 (or 22!) whom they diagnose. But West Virginia's has since 2004 REQUIRED newly diagnosed people of ALL ages to register. Just think of that. Totalitarian much? If a 50-year-old gets a new psych label, is knowing that really going to help the state do anything helpful? And that elides the question of the accuracy of new labels in adults, with constantly expanding diagnostic criteria.

It's not scary at all but MSM is pretending it is as they don't want to know the true scale of the epidemic because then Big Pharma might lose money if their products were linked to it. MSM is very dependent on Big Pharma advertising money, it goes without saying. This canard is trotted out again in the article you linked to:

"It has been described by Kennedy as an "epidemic" he claims is spurred more by environmental toxins than genetics. A number of autism researchers have disagreed with his theory, adding that increased awareness of ASD has contributed to higher known levels of prevalence."

This is basically "nothing to see here, move along now!" Good public health requires true reporting of the scale of diseases in society. I don't see how that is 'authoritarian'. Vaccine mandates are though, which the US had plenty of, shamefully.

Sorry, but how many other medical diagnoses more serious than adult-diagnosed autism are not reported? And the news made it sound like not the doctor, but the citizen is required to register. Register a psych diagnosis, a label of "abnormality." Turn yourself in to the state. That's frightening.

If the West Virginia registry is actually as bad as they are claiming, I see no way it could have survived up to now without someone challenging it for the many legal and constitutional flaws. There are three possibilities I see:

a) Somehow this mandatory registration scheme went utterly unnoticed for over 20 years;

b) There were court cases, and the mass media and Big Tech actively covered it up and are still actively covering it up;

c) The mass media is lying about what the West Virginia Autism Registry actually looks like.

I know which one I find the most plausible.

OK, I looked it up and found this webpage from Marshall University, which runs the registry, responding to the public concerns.

https://www.marshall.edu/atc/wvasd-registry/

It may be that the journalist, or AI, who wrote the story I saw inaccurately described the repository, which is not the same as "the mass media [are] lying". The website says that autism is a reportable condition. (I find that a bit troubling in itself. It's not communicable and, in fact, not even well defined.) They say that they do not share information or keep information that would identify the individual or their family. BUT, the information reported includes "the person’s initials, age, a county of residence, and asks some questions like the number of siblings a person has, and what level of autism is diagnosed." In smaller counties, it would often be possible to identify an individual from that information.

I have a concern about this because maybe, when these kids are adults, they will not choose to identify as autistic. The Experts are still claiming both that the increase is due to better diagnosis and that it is still "underdiagnosed" at well over 3%, which basically implies that they want the least popular kid in every school class to receive a diagnostic label. Perhaps in future the pendulum will swing back the other way. Or perhaps these young people will want to compete for jobs where a diagnostic label could be used against them.

What if a child is unhappy and labeled as "depressed", or stressed by school and labeled as "having anxiety"? Should those diagnoses be reported with the possibility of being used against them for life? How about physical diseases? I'd argue that what the experts formerly called Asperger's is not a "disease" at all and should not be treated as such.

I would rather argue that "autism spectrum disorder" is created to muddle the situation. The hard autism cases are difficult to not diagnose. When I see parents in the supermarket walking around with kids with autism (not the "spectrum"), I do not think I have much confusion or need help from an "expert" to tell.

RFK Jr. argued convincingly that the number of these hard autism cases ("Will Never Pay Taxes, Hold a Job, Go on a Date") went up by a large amount in recent years. So, maybe "The Experts are still claiming both that the increase is due to better diagnosis" is just an officially approved narrative.

Of course it is a thoughtstopping narrative. Those of us over 50 know darn well incidence is increasing.

I'm not sure how "saying false things" is different from "lying". What exactly is the difference?

Lying is deliberate dishonesty. If an AI drafted the story and conflated a doctor's being legally required to report on diagnoses with the patient's being required to self-report, that's not deliberate. If the reporter is just sloppy or writes like a roomful of monkeys with a typewriter, again, they may not intend to mislead. Most false utterances probably are not lies.

Coffee & Covid had a great synopsis on the recent passing of pope Frances. As a lapse Catholic, his response to the cooties theatre infuriated me. I can honestly say, I may never go back. They are like Francis, dead to me, but Jeff's essay and conclusion helped temper my anger, put it all in a horrible and sad perspective. One thing as an added bonus was St. Malachy’s Prophecy, which I knew nothing about. Just another log for the fire I suppose but for us 'occult dimensions of cooties' types, I figured most here could appreciate it. Full read here, highly recommend it.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/memento-mori-tuesday-april-22-2025

Yeah, Childers hit pretty hard in this essay.
But I'm not sure Pope Francis' intentions were malign; he did after all chuff down 3 of the shots himself until, apparently, realizing he'd made a mistake. But not before driving millions of other Catholics to take the things.

Just shows how much damage you can do if you deceive the shepherd.

- Cicada Grove

FWIW, other prophecies say Francis was to be the last pope.... apparently too many scandals can't be covered up anymore which would greatly shake the papacy heirarchy. We'll see by the end of the year..

I thought it was a very well-written essay... sent it to a catholic friend whom I'm not sure will read it. While he said he has cautioned his kids that the pope is not necessarily the church, yet when the pope was in Singapore just a few months ago, they were among the huge crowds that signed up for the lottery to see him in person in some stadium etc. This friend was barred from attending Mass for almost 2 years when the local catholic church went along with the govt diktats that the unvexed were unclean. As I often reminded him, did that make him less of a 'catholic' by not being able to go to church? He was adamant that since his faith is sincere, he was fine. So when the church reopened it's doors fully, he rushed back in with his family. *sigh* Somehow he couldn't see the obvious ... that true spirituality and sincerity comes from within, not via a over-arching church organization. Sadly he is like most people, doesn't have to be PMC class though they're the worst, where the obvious lies and contradictins are right in front of them, and they blithely ignore it and move on as programmed.

>> Somehow he couldn't see the obvious ... that true spirituality and sincerity comes from within, not via a over-arching church organization.

That is not how orthodox Catholics think. For them the CHURCH is their primary mediator, their connection to God, and for him to not immediately go back and hear Mass in person when he could, weekly at least, would be a mortal sin.

The whole idea of going within for a connection to God goes against Catholic practice. You get at God through the mediator of the priest, and Catholic devotional literature emphasizes you must distrust yourself and your own judgement, and obey your priest or spiritual advisor. Individual prayer, and individual judgement, is secondary, not primary.

That is why Jeff Childer's essay about the Pope and vaccine policy has such a vicious cutting edge to it. The statements of Francis re the vaccines are at the level of God's law to many, many Catholics, and that puts them in a horrible spiritual bind of conscience.

Thank you for the reminder of how the church indoctrination works. While I sort of knew all that at the back of my mind, I thought it would be obvious by now that the church heirarchy has been extremely compromised / corrupt, and any self-aware person would choose not to follow unethical/wrong orders again. I've actually spent days mulling over this after your comment, with the huge mess of internal contradictions that my friend seems to represent...

He likes to remind that only priests have the power to do certain stuff - aka as you said they HAVE to be in church to receive the Eucharist. So I said, if they had continued to mandate the covid shots in order for you to enter a church, are you going to obey? How long are you going to hold out since it's a 'sin'?

He has also bombarded me with worries that the police and other enforcers may come to get people to be vexed up... sending me links with the stories about SG signing up to new WHO treaties and what not. I keep telling him, I have zero worries or concern - since they'll literally have to put a gun to my head to force me to do it, and even then I'll probably still be resisting. The decision not to comply with coercion and stupidity has been made, it's that simple and clearcut to me at least. He then tells me that his daughter has to do a course of study where they require her to take fresh chickenpox jabs. I told him, it's another example of you choosing whether you want to comply, or actively find workarounds if you don't want to. It's pretty obvious that once people are even half-inclined to follow diktats, they won't look too hard for alternatives. I gave him example of how the various restrictions imposed on the unvexed during the height of controls here meant we would be blocked from many services. Heck, I could tell that at some point they would even restrict our access to the public libraries (it happened at the tailend), but we set up online accounts so that the family could borrow ebooks and keep on reading etc. No checking of vex status there! There were often ways to zig zag around the various restrictions, and you don't post it online, just spread it quietly through small trusted circles...

Since he actually acknowledges that the pope has been extremely compromised morally, that popes are not infallible... then logically the church doctrine that the same pope has been formulating may not really be meant to meet people's spiritual needs. Instead of taking the time to study the actual church history, understand why the reformation happened (Martin Luthor / indulgences etc), he has fallen back on old habits in a sense. Just like the normies he mocks for quickly embracing the old normal as soon as restrictions are lifted. It's so obvious, yet he can't see the parallels.

>> I told him, it's another example of you choosing whether you want to comply, or actively find workarounds if you don't want to. It's pretty obvious that once people are even half-inclined to follow diktats, they won't look too hard for alternatives.

You make an interesting point there.

I can't count the number of people I've heard say, You understand I only took the vaccine for [fill in the blank] - my children, my family, my neighbors. I think it's meant to show how unselfish they are, but that feels wrong.

I think that sort of "they made me do it" attitude is a way of abdicating responsibility. It gives them a chance to think and say that, whatever happens, it's not my fault.

Did I get sick after the vax? It's not my fault, I had no choice.

If I have an alternative then I have to admit I have a choice and have to take responsibility for it. It is admitting I have to think and decide for myself - and I think that is a step some people would rather not take.

Jeff's nickname for Francis, the Pfizer pope, is stinging but not unjustified. If he indeed figured out how damaging the vaxx is and didn't say it to his herd, he will have a lot to answer for.

It would fit in the pattern of the church not taking responsability for any wrongdoing. The many abuse scandals are testament to it. I think the worst about the abuse scandals is the gaslighting and protection of the perpetrators. Not speaking out about the vax would be just another example.

I thought about the Malachy prophesies. In a Sprengerian sense one could argue that Francis already was the last pope of the church of God. He was instrumental in kickstarting the Second Religiosity. Where Benedict tried to get spirituality back in the chuch by allowing the Latin mass again, Francis shut that door again and showed disrespect to Benedict at his funeral. I've remarked to a friend that Francis struck me more like a social worker than a religious leader. He appointed a mass of progressive cardinals too so his successor will no doubt continue the Second Religiosity.

PS There is another way in which the prophecy could come true. If the vax scandal finally breaks, the outrage could also include the gaslighting religious leaders. That backlash could severely hurt the catholic church. In the Netherlands Christianity is rising amongst young people, but it is mainly protestantism. This trend could be reinforced if the church of Rome is found to be perpetrating and covering up another scandal that this time hurt millions.

>> ...the last pope of the church of God.

Babylon Bee did a story on that back when Pope Benedict/Ratzinger died in 2022 - Pope Francis Announces Passing Of Final Catholic Pope.

https://babylonbee.com/news/pope-francis-announces-passing-of-final-catholic-pope

Lol that was prophetic!

So much for papal infallibility....

When I learned of the Pope's death, I looked at his natal chart and saw a debilitated Uranus in his tenth house ruling his eighth house. It makes sense that an new insufficiently tested treatment that he publically promoted would be Pope Francis' undoing.

Well written and he made his case well. The pope died from vaxx injury.

How do you know? People have had strokes for millennia. People who are pushing 90 and have spent weeks in a hospital bed fighting near-fatal pneumonia are particularly likely to have strokes. This is the sort of overly confident assignment of causality that puts off people who aren't already in the choir, if I may say so.

If you read the article linked to above, it outlines that Pope Francis' health started failing shortly after he took the first vaccine; and further his health problems pretty closely match the ones common among vaccine injured.

The first part could be true, though again, pushing 90. When he was elected in 12 years ago, they thought he was an old man in weak health THEN, who would be a "caretaker" not expected to live many years (even by himself). As for the rest, temporal plausibility is essential to assign causality from news stories. A stroke a week after a jab is highly likely to have been caused by the jab; a stroke two or three years later, much less likely.

Given you seem to be unwilling to read the article, I do not think it worth engaging any further.

The article says that his health started to decline right after the first jab, and kept getting worse.

The article also says that he was healthy before the jab.

Whether he ultimately died from stroke or pneumonia is less relevant. The jab, or multiple jabs, made him progressively weaker over a relatively short span of time.

I'm not sure the article is accurate. Pope Francis had part of a lung removed in 1957 and was always susceptible to respiratory infections. He began to have bad sciatica and difficulty standing in December 2020, which was before he got a first jab on January 14, 2021.

In July of 2021 he had surgery for an intestinal problem, diverticular stenosis or diverticulosis, which continued to cause problems thereafter. Is that one of the conditions reported to increase after the jabs? I dunno, it could be but I haven't heard of it before and it seems a bit different from the usual cardiovascular and nervous system side effects.

I have an unjabbed family member in their late 80s who had emergency intestinal surgery a couple of months ago. If they were more liberal, a lot of people on this end of the spectrum would assume it must have been the jab. But it couldn't have been, because I know for a fact that they were unjabbed. Bad things happen to the ultra-old as they "ripen towards death," to swipe a JMG phrase. (Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.)

I think some people label every health problem suffered by a person who promoted the vax as vax-related out of a craving for justice otherwise denied. The pope encouraged low-risk members of his flock to take the vaxxes for others' sake. Someone somewhere followed that advice and died of it. That chain of events was never identified; the pope was not publicly shamed for giving harmful advice or asked to pay compensation. If he dies of old age without experiencing any repercussions of his error, it seems almost like getting away with negligent homicide. We want to believe that people who cause harm, however well-intentioned they may have been, will suffer just consequences. So, the old-age death gets reclassified as a delayed vax-side-effect death.

But the truth is that in life there often isn't any justice, except perhaps through the workings of karma in future lifetimes which the current victims will never know about or live to see. Meanwhile, there are still some people who believe in modRNA covid vaxxes and many others who might start pushing them again if we had a bird flu pandemic. We need to change their attitudes, and suggesting that the jabs might prevent all natural causes of death (the implication, if no jabbed person is ever said to die of natural causes again) isn't going to help!

No. What you are saying is inaccurate.

The article says -

"Pope Francis got his first shot on January 14, 2021, and the next week, canceled all his public appearances, citing horrible sciatic nerve pain."

The cancellation of all public appearance happened after the week of vaccination, not in December.

The claim that it was due to sciatic nerve pain may have been made to not acknowledge the vaxx injury. Such a thing has been quite common. Many vaxx-injured are claiming that they have "long covid" to avoid blaming the "highly tested" vaccine for their health problems.

The article says -

"When he was 21, Pope Francis had part of his lung removed, giving media cover to run headlines saying things like “The Pope’s Long History of Health Problems.” Except they overlook the fact that, apart from the youthful surgery, he had no respiratory problems until 2023."

Instead of repeating the official version that pope always had respiratory problems, would you please post evidence supporting your claim?

"I think some people label every health problem suffered by a person who promoted the vax as vax-related out of a craving for justice otherwise denied."

I have always argued that it is proper to consider the role vaxx played in every death as long as the official media is constantly lying. That is the proper scientific response, because the liars should not have any benefit of doubt. It has nothing to do with karma or revenge. The Pope most likely promoted the vaxx, because he was duped.

The key issue is not that the pope was duped. That's a given imo. The key issue is that according to Jeff he got off the vaccination train and didn't inform his herd. If true, that is grave.

Addition: my sense is that the pope could have thought it was simply unnecessary to take another jab and left it at that.

In any way, it's regretful that the few who spoke out against the jab like archbishop Vigano didn't get his ear.

Add to this the controversy as to whether or not those so heavily promoting the jab actually received the same vaccines the public did. All we know is that they promoted it and for any number of reasons. The words ‘saline injections’ come to mind. With some, the truth will never be known. The pope was old, with a history of health problems; that he died is no controversy. Almost all world leaders followed the script, did and said what they were told to do and say. That these minds should act in unison, shows networks of control in place far beyond natural. With the covid narrative crumbling, some minion heads will roll, then it’s on to the next thing. The point is, the unthinking have always been cannon fodder, but the impetus to hold leaders responsible for their actions has grown and that’s some good out of it all; as well as the growing awareness that people have to take responsibility for their own heath.

For example, most people dying from AIDS actually die from pneumonia, because their immune system becomes dysfunctional and cannot fight. Still people say that they died from AIDS, not pneumonia.

Two 193's in a row, eh? Do we now start counting backwards?

No, I just fix the typo.

I present to you a recap of the years 2020-2022 by comedian Abi Roberts magnificently entitled "I can always lose weight, but you'll always be a bootlicking c*unt": https://abiroberts.substack.com/p/i-can-always-lose-weight-but-youll

"My first taste of the COVID-sponsored media came not long afterwards on Easter Monday 2021, when I debated Edwina Currie on Good Morning Britain. I’d never done anything remotely like it. Currie was all for domestic COVID vaccine passports, and I was very much against. Little did I realise that I had entered the Kate Garraway, Branch Covidian circle, and along with her fellow presenter, Edwina and the resident ‘doctor’, Amir Khan, I was kebabbed. Apparently saying things like ‘we don’t want to live in a Soviet papers-please-society and segregate others for choosing not to have a state-sanctioned injection’ made me the crazy one. The comments under the article in The Express the next day ranged from calling me mad; a Covid denier; an anti-vaxxer; thick; embarrassing; and fat. So I replied: I can always lose weight, but you’ll still be a bootlicking c*nt."

I don't know what to call this except a "negative religious exemption" in which you are freed from carrying out a mandate to do something that does not belong to your religion. For example, if you could have demonstrated that vaccines belong to the religion of progress, could you be exempted by merely stating you do not believe in this god? Do 'negative religious exemptions' have any legal basis?

"Religion of progress" is the state religion, and the only way out is excommunication. Also, they will burn your career at the stake, and the technical term for that is cancellation.

"For example, if you could have demonstrated that vaccines belong to the religion of progress, could you be exempted by merely stating you do not believe in this god?"

Indeed, I have mentioned here once or twice that I am waiting for people to take up THIS type of "exemption". A sort of "No, I decline to join your cult" sort of argument.

I don't know if it rates as a negative exemption, but it places the burden of demonstrating that it is NOT "religious" back upon those who are so vexed and perturbed by any manifestation of doubt, hesitancy, non-compliance with regards to their revered pharmaceutical miraculous vial.

Davos Tyrant Falls from Grace as WEF Turns on Its Creator — Klaus Schwab Under Internal Investigation Following Whistleblower Allegations of Financial and Ethical Misconduct

i didnt expect that.. usually these 'elites' back
each other up..

What if it is because they found a younger and meaner tyrant? Maybe Klaus did not want to go to the extreme, and that caused his downfall.

My guess is that they were getting most of their operating budget from US government funds via USAID and similar grifts, and now that they actually have to pay their own way they can't afford to keep someone as greedy as Schwab at the helm.

You expect honour among thieves??

It is indeed an interesting development. Psychopaths will work together for a common goal, but are happy to throw one of their own to the wolves if it serves their individual purposes. Maybe the Little Schwitler pissed off too many WEF acolytes. Maybe he stood in the way of somebody's unbridled ambition. Or maybe there is a crack in the WEF's armour of self-delusion: they've been having a pretty poor batting average in terms in ushering in their Brave New Dystopia to the world and even in Canada their hand-picked Tyrant, Mark Carnage, is having to cheat like crazy and spin the propaganda machine at full-speed to give the public the illusion that he is either liked or competent. Best case scenario: something big is breaking and the circular firing squad is beginning - but I dare not hope for this yet. We'll just have to wait and see.

Interesting how the UK government is now admitting geoengineering which has been going on for a long time. Conspiracy theorists are right yet again. Vitamin D deficiency is a big problem in the UK, but let's spaff £50 million blocking out the sun.

I wonder if USAID money was spent covertly on this and now it's dried up they have to do it directly?

(Sorry for careening off-topic, I correct course at the end!)
It's not just the UK, there were news a couple weeks back about an Israeli startup working with the same method, spraying the atmosphere. When I saw that I had a weird feeling that we had passed a portal and changed dimensions sometime within the last few years, and now geoengineering acceptable discourse & behavior. It's a very new-agey way of putting it and not satisfying, so a tentative rational explanation would be : the pandemic, with all its shocks inflicted on the population, has made us collectively more malleable and accepting, at least in the eyes of the ruling classes. As J.H. Kunstler put it, "anything goes and nothing matters", except even more than before.

why dont ppl analyze them and tell us what they are?

In answer to your questions—

Yes, some people have looked at what's in the shots and they have found some pretty funky stuff. See for example:

Professsor of Molecular Biology and Genetics Dr. Phillip Buckhaults: "It's not just mRNA."
"So this is a picture of the sequencing read that the sequencing run that I did in the lab from a couple of batches of the Pfizer vaccine. And all those little bitty lines here are the little tiny pieces of DNA that are in the vaccine. They don't belong there. They are not part of the sales pitch or the marketing campaign. And they're there. There's a lot of them."

"we concluded that these clot formations are an indication that, that, that in the past there was endothelial damage, and if it's still forming it's an ongoing endothelial damage, and through the endothelial damage, proteins and matrix constituents of the vessel wall come into the blood, can circulate in the blood. And under certain circumstances they can form these clots... it seems to be the case that it is associated with vaccination."

These are not the only examples, just the ones I have at-hand.

You ask: Why don't people tell us? Well, many people have been trying to and for quite some time now. Seems the mainstream media would rather not go near the subject. Because reasons.

as far as schwab stepping down, i was watching bannon's warroom and he had glenn beck on
and they both had heard, that the wef might be considering yuval noel harrari

that would be really bad..
some say he was schwab's right hand man..

Oh, quite the contrary, that would be very good news. Harari's one of those vacuous pop culture intellectuals who hasn't had an original thought since he was five years old, but is very good at parroting what his masters want to hear. Under his leadership the WEF will become a useless chattering society, permanently stuck twenty years behind the times.

well, i hope you're right..
but from what i hear he really wants to be as God, as well as eliminate the rest of us 'useless eaters'

for now they have the man from Nestle, who said that water is not a human right..

And boy does that Nestle guy look evil:

Isn't that what the WEF has always been? A cheerleading section for the shadowy globalists down on the field?

An update. I'm still making the transcripts of censored and shadow-banned video from 2021-2023, albeit at a slower pace now. I have enough material that expect to continue at least a couple of times a week through this year.

The latest transcripts focus on the covid protocol hospital murders. I found these stories hard to believe when I first came across them, but I've now heard a large number, from all over the United States and also other countries, all telling essentially the same story.

This is the most recent transcript in this category:

If anyone wants to have a look, the main archive of transcripts (now with an index) is here:
https://transcriberb.dreamwidth.org/273.html

And the Transcriber B Substack, which features new transcripts (and sometimes older ones, too), is here: https://transcriberb.substack.com

Recently "Sane Franciscan" interviewed me for her Substack, Wake the Folk Up— you can read that in 2 parts here:
Part 1— https://wtfu.substack.com/p/an-interview-with-transcriber-b-part
Part 2— https://wtfu.substack.com/p/an-interview-with-transcriber-b-part-e64

Many thanks, JMG, for allowing me to post some of these transcripts here, it meant a great deal to me. I have not been posting as often here as I did back when this forum got started because I figure that most of you here are already well aware of these various issues, particularly the vaccine injuries. The injuries were urgent news in 2021 and 2022, but unfortunately, that is no longer the case.

If anyone reading this wants to see the transcripts of injured and bereaved, they are gathered here:
https://transcriberb.dreamwidth.org/21040.html

P.S. For anyone who is injured by the covid jabs, or suspects that they may have been injured, and is looking for community and helpful resources, I would most highly recommend having a look at React19.org

Dear Transcriber B,
Have I told you lately that you are playing a blinder?

Thank you for your impressive dedication to the task of compiling this historical archive. Much respect!

PS - Please imagine this message coming at you every time you post, because I often think it without taking time to write it.... :)

Hi Scotlyn, Thanks so much for your kind words. And please know that I have long appreciated and always look for your comments on this forum.

I am only surprised this lawsuit hasn't happened sooner— and many more like it.

Being anti-covid vax is linked to psychopathy, Machiavellianism and collective narcissism - Study

"It's a conspiracy: Covid-19 conspiracies link to psychopathy, Machiavellianism and collective narcissism

We recruited 406 UK participants to take part in an online survey investigating personality and Covid-19 information. Machiavellianism and primary psychopathy positively predicted general and Covid specific conspiracy beliefs, whereas collective narcissism positively predicted Covid specific conspiracy beliefs only. Covid-19 conspiracy beliefs mediated the negative relationships between all traits and willingness to obtain a future vaccine"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33867616/

yes, it is a real paper.

Quite accurate, too, provided that you translate the terms into plain English:

"Psychopathy": trusting your own perceptions rather than believing whatever authorities choose to tell you;

"Machiavellianism": having a realistic view of government and corporate motivations;

"Collective narcissism": thinking that you have some value other than as a resource to be exploited by the system.

This would be on par with the institutional gas lighting that is sinking their credibility. If one was to point out that black americans were the most likely demographic to smell a rat on the whole covid scam, expect to be called a racist.

Speaking of which, this clip is funny. Fauci gets owned.

https://x.com/amuse/status/1637797668159205376

Fauci offered money to Blacks to take his vaccine. It didn’t go well.

Thanks, that made me laugh! I hope the editors accept these wonderful contributions too the English dictionary.

There are new studies linking vaccine "hesitancy" to various psychological profiles coming out every month - for decades. I suspect the primary market for such studies is found among members of the political leadership (both elected and non-elected) whose stock-in-trade is achieving good compliance with policy. Whether such consumers of these studies are sufficiently well informed by them as to obtain better compliance is a moot question.

However, I have been waiting (in the interests of science... lol!) for the parallel studies, psychologically profiling vaccine "credulity"... There do not seem to be any takers... Perhaps a paucity of funding?

In other words, dissidence = mental illness.

Hello Soviet Union 2.0!

Someone who works for the NHS has expressed shock at me questioning the covid narrative on FB. There are an awful lot of people complicit in what went down - the ones who injected and inject people on a daily basis with vaccines that have never had rigorous safety testing done on them, including the Covid ones. Or who try to manipulate parents into jabbing their kids. They are continually told they are the Good People and they won't be able to accept that they were/are foot soldiers in a Bad Thing.

It doesn't matter what findings RFK Jr comes up with - he is a wild conspiracy theorist and they are still the Good People and that's the end of it. Some of them won't care as they have outsourced their morality to those higher up the food chain anyway and were just obeying orders.

Hello Anonymous. I hear you. It's wearing, I know. But I think a lot more people are realizing, and they are keeping it to themselves. Especially if they are injured. It totally sucks to get piled on as a bad person / conspiracy theorist when you're feeling like crap already from an injury.

I fear you're right. They're the good people and that's the end of it.
