failure as business strategyWe are now into the fifth 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 all these 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 remain 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; new revelations are leaking out about just how bad the Covid vaccines are for human health; 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.

7. Please don't post LLM ("AI") generated text. This is a place for human beings to talk to other human beings, not for the regurgitation of machine-generated text. Also, please don't discuss large language models (the technology popularly and inaccurately called "artificial intelligence" these days) except as they bear directly on the Covid phenomenon. Here again, my finger is hovering over the delete button. 

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.

scotlyn: balancing posture in sword form (Default)
From: [personal profile] scotlyn
And there is a simple algorithm that keeps an industry that consistently fails to deliver perennially open for business...

1. instill fear of a disease
2. introduce a "cure" that often causes symptoms indistinguishable from those attributed to the "disease"
3. attribute symptoms caused by the "cure" to the progression of the disease
4. attribute all improvements to the "cure"
5. attribute all detriments and harms to the "disease"
6. ramp up fear of the "disease", sell more "cures", rinse and repeat...

Or, as described here (in an article on the history of "syphillis"): https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/what-is-syphilis

"A treatment that causes symptoms indistinguishable from the disease it claims to cure creates a self-reinforcing cycle. Symptoms appear; mercury is administered; worse symptoms emerge; the disease is declared to have progressed; more mercury is applied. Patients who survived the treatment could be declared cured. Those who deteriorated demonstrated the disease’s inevitable course. The treatment was unfalsifiable—every outcome confirmed its necessity."

While I was reading this article, I was getting serious HIV "de ja vu" feelings...

PS - lest anyone misunderstand, this article does not dispute the existence of disease, nor does it treat human suffering as merely a "scam"... however it takes issue with a specific method for scamming sufferers by compounding their suffering for profit. (the same method that fuels the industry in question).




Thank you

Week 228

Dear JMG and forumistas, my thanks as ever for this forum.

As we head to the end of 2025 I continue grappling with the nature and implications of the covidian catastrophe. So many thrustblocks! And then... so many more thrustblocks!

Some here may interested in this latest post by Unbecoming about Thomas Mayer's book, COVID VACCINES FROM A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE, which takes a anthroposophic perspective, and discusses his and others' original spiritual research:
https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/covid-vaccines-from-a-spiritual-perspective

I read Mayer's book a while ago and found that some of it resonated with me, however I can't say that all of it did. I'm still chewing it over. And I probably will be for many years yet.

Question for the commentariat:

My wife’s sister is a doc in Switzerland who went full covidian and her husband (also a doc) recently had to have heart surgery despite being an avid outdoor athlete. They can’t figure out why he almost died and my wife is finally ready to approach the subject with them but needs official resources to share.

They shot up their kids as well so it’s going to be a touchy subject, but everyone’s health is deteriorating and they have exhausted conventional “wisdom” and are totally frustrated which means there is an opening that did not exist before.

What would you recommend as far as resources that a doctor is likely to listen to? We might only have one shot at this before they completely cut us off, but if they act now there’s still a possibility of mitigating the damage.

Thanks

Re the "cure": a thought came to mind, thanks to the old TV series 'I Claudius'* in the episode where Caligula finds a permanent and 100% effective remedy for a child's persistent cough... (caution - if you don't know what scene I'm talking about, but curious, be forewarned - I still can't un-see it, even though it was pretty tame by today's standards).

Reminds me of many of the 'cures' touted by the modern medical industry/big pharma, where a list of warnings & side effects is quickly, quietly noted (in monotone) at the end of an ad depicting smiling, active people having fun in some idyllic setting. These noted warnings & side effects often include various serious issues, including cancers, breathing issues, and sometimes death. (It's a pity since a few modern medicines can be of benefit to some people - having heard from a number of friends who have benefitted - HOWEVER these are NOT those medicines/treatments that receive the big advertising bucks.)

Hi: I would suggest looking at the work of well credentialed doctors like Peter McCullough, Clare Craig, Jessica Rose, Kevin McKernan, Ryan Cole, Angus Dalgleish etc. Pick someone whose experience, temperament, and communication style would resonate with your family members.

I personally love McCullough, but a family member said listening to him made her brain hurt. (She's not a doctor). There was too much information and I think it caused a lot of cognitive dissonance.

I would also refrain from referencing people your family members will consider weird. I think weird is wonderful, but oddities will make it easy to discount the info that is being conveyed.

Good luck!

Masking unmasked

Date: 2025-12-31 01:59 am (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
I am, for some perverse reason, still on the mailing list of a large, [in]famous, Boston hospital-- Mass. General. I recently received a mass email from them, re: masking that unintentionally drives a stake through the heart of any argument that it's is about science:

Patients and visitors are strongly encouraged, but not required, to wear a facility-issued face mask during direct interactions with care team members. If you choose to use your own mask, you must wear a facility-issued face mask on top of your own N95 respirator or face mask. By wearing one of our masks on top of your mask from home, it helps us know that the mask you are wearing is clean and effective.

Phone calls about vaccines

Date: 2025-12-31 03:24 am (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
I actually got a phone call from a pharmacy tech at my local CVS telling me that my records showed that I was eligable for vaccines and asking when I would like to schedule my appointment to come get them.

When I said "No thank you, have a nice day," the tech actually shouted "no" into the phone and tried to argue with me. I hung up.

I suppose that they must have end-of-year quotas that they're desperate to meet, but the fact that a pharmacy tech at a CVS feels entitled to try to argue with me over a cold call like that is wild, and not what I expected from a beachside drug store in Florida.

Aaron Siri on Bret Weinstein's Podcast

Date: 2025-12-31 03:26 am (UTC)
From: (Anonymous)
For those into podcasts, Bret Weinstein's latest with Aaron Siri is particularly good. It's about the falsehood of the overall vaccine narrative, focusing on the childhood vaccine schedule but touching on COVID too.

https://open.spotify.com/episode/0iNJnENTx55PYnrroJxHOj?si=an4Bjp7dQq6NHXskojl2pg&t=0&pi=lLvuxUZsSru8m

Most of this won't be news to regulars on this forum, but it's one of the best presentations of this information that I've seen, so for those looking for something to share with those who are newer to vaccine skepticism, this might be a good bet. There is a brief discussion toward the end with Weinstein portraying Trump in a positive light, so it might not be the best to send to anyone with TDS that's strong enough that they'll automatically dismiss the whole thing because of one small part that's positive toward Trump.

I don't know, of course, I'm not in their heads, but I would give as my best guess that the place to start is with the censorship. It's a huge toad of a fact. And that almost everything about the deaths and injuries (and much else) following the jab rollouts was censored, that in itself tells you everything you need to know.

Most people, as far as I can tell, do not comprehend the degree to which deaths and injuries (and so many other issues with the jabs, including outright fraud in the preclinical trials), were hidden from the public by way of systematcally supressing them on social media (especially pre-Musk Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and anything even remotely objectionable on YouTube and Google). In addition, to combat "vaccine hesitancy," supposedly, the legacy media was heavily pressured to not touch these stories with the figurative 30 foot barge pole. The legacy media had their Big Pharma advertising revenue to protect, and in addition they were given money from governments and from the Gates Foundation to promote the "vaccines."

So I would second the suggestion made in a reply above this comment, to start with A Midwestern Doctor because this is the Substack that was one of the first to look in depth at the extent and nature of the jab injuries, and also has been closely following events as they unfold.
From 2022 (!!)
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/all-evidence-suggests-the-covid-vaccines

Transcriber B has transcribed a large number of videos of jab injury testimonies, many of which original videos had been taken down from FaceBook, YouTube et al and then reposted at bitchute, odysee, rumble, telegram, Musk's "X," and other platforms that (largely) refused to censor.

Weinstein took his time to see the light btw but I'm glad he has.

On the YouTube of that video there is still this underneath

CDC • MMR vaccine is very effective at protecting people against measles, mumps, and rubella, and preventing the complications caused by these diseases. LOL

I saw this on X and am glad I caught measles and mumps in the wild as a kid.

"What if getting measles as a kid *protects* you from heart disease & cancer later? Big Pharma won't tell you this... Before the 1963 vaccine, measles deaths plunged 98%—thanks to nutrition & sanitation, NOT shots. But natural infection? It builds a lifelong protection shield your vax can't match.

Japanese mega-study (110K+ adults, 22 yrs): History of measles = 8-20% LOWER risk of dying from CVD & stroke. Both measles + mumps? Up to 21% drop in heart attack deaths! For cancer: Childhood measles linked to REDUCED Hodgkin’s lymphoma (UK 2000 study) & overall cancer mortality (European 2013 cohort: fewer deaths in infected kids).

Aaron Siri nails it: “Did we have a NET benefit?” Ethics demand we study this—kids deserve the full truth on natural immunity’s power.

The Alchemist 2026 predictions

Date: 2025-12-31 01:36 pm (UTC)
From: [personal profile] stubborn_ass
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM-UQQFzg9k

The whole video is worth watching and digesting a couple of times... but a rough quick summary - the institutions that keep people down, and all its coercive measures, are losing steam and failing in a big way.
The most obvious failure in 2026 will be the 'sick-care' industry as she calls it. New forms of healing modality will have to be embraced, as too many people need to heal on multiple levels - physically, mentally, spiritually etc. So it will be a great opportunity for people to provide new combinations to folks who were previously afraid of the 'woo'.

As I told a vex-injured friend whom I've been helping - he has already progressed so much on his healing journey, because he stayed open minded ... he also suffered when certain suggested therapies did not go as well as hoped etc, so in a sense, he now has the chops to be a really good healer in the near future, as he's literally gone through a whole gamut of the side effects that the shots have caused. I'm very gratified to have met someone like him... while I'm happy to have been able to help with many of his physical ailments, most of our discussions in the past few months have now centered around the spiritual aspects, and I've seen him grow and understand so much more. He is a prime example of what could happen for others - if they are willing to discard their long-held old and 'wrong' worldviews....

The Alchemist's video fills me with a sense of joy and hope.... that said, while I don't want to seem like a wet blanket regarding the swiss couple/doctors who are jabbed up to the wazoo - one has to be realistic that their whole identity was wrapped up in worshipping at the altar of the 'vaccines'. Doesn't matter if they have tried all the conventional 'cures' and found it wanting. The fact that they haven't connected the shots to their current set of medical ailments is telling enough... their minds will refuse to make the connection, they simply can't - unless the person advising them is willing to spend 24/7 in their presence and use their own personal morphic field to keep the swiss family grounded... otherwise their MSM and system programming will just take over, probably less than a day after the last conversation with the well-meaning relative. It is what it is.

Hogmanay 2025

I heartily second Cetiosaurus’ vote of thanks, on this the last Open (More or Less) Post on Covid of 2025.

Thank you JMG and to all the people who have commented on this forum over the last four and a bit years since you originally posted 'A Hypothesis'.

It is now more than 5 years since the events which prompted that post began.

Ironically this five year mark has brought to mind a saying attributed that Auld Clootie, Bill Gates himself: that people overestimate the changes that can happen in 5 years and underestimate the changes that can happen in 10 years.

With covid conveniently memory-holed by government and mass media (it’s astonishing how little it is discussed these days in my part of the world. The NHS winter bogieman has returned to being flu), the world of 2025 doesn’t look a million miles from the world of 2019, at least if you squint.

People are back in the office. But those jobs are “hybrid” now, three days, not five days a week. And when they are in the office, their meetings are online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, so they might as well be at home.

The economy is still staggering on as it did in 2019, somehow.

The internet superficially looks and works in much the same way as it did in 2019. We still have the same social media sites although Twitter now calls itself after the third last letter of the alphabet and feels more like an echo chamber than ever. And the internet also feels emptier and deader than it did. The serendipity that used to reward a well constructed internet search has now been replaced by an unsolicited AI summary. And where once the censorship was subtle and platform by platform, now it is state enforced – especially in places like the UK and Europe.

I could go on with the changes, some subtle, some not so subtle, that have happened in various sectors of society since 2020 but my point is, and I think many of you share it otherwise you wouldn’t be here: something big happened in 2020 and there seems to have been a very real severance between the world we knew and the world we now find ourselves in.

I fear that by 2029 the changes that have taken place since 2020 will be not so subtle.

It’s Hogmanay 2025. Most Hogmanays are pretty unmemorable and blend into each other (that’s the magic of whisky) but there is one that stands out and that’s the Hogmanay of 2019 when I travelled to the Ayrshire coast and took a picture of the rocky isle of Ailsa Craig, looking as it always has, at least as long as humans have had eyes to see it. I was going to share the exact picture I took using the online photo sharing site Imgur, but ironically and to prove my point, the site is no longer available to UK users thanks to the "Online Safety Act".

But here's a pic of Ailsa Craig anyway:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ailsa_Craig#/media/File:Ailsa_Craig_2017-05-17.jpg

Sadly I’m not at the seaside today but I know that Ailsa Craig will still be there, adamantine and enduring in spite of all the craziness and sadness of the last years. I take comfort in that.

Oh, how I wish we could de-normalize asking people anything about their medical history. I have a relative in the medical profession who badgers family members about their various medical "needs", as she sees them. Like, in the middle of a holiday gathering, will start in with stuff like "Oh, you know you're over 45 now - have you scheduled a colonoscopy?" or "Have you had your flu shot? You're old enough now for a shingles shot as well, have you had one?" I find it astonishingly rude and inappropriate, but somehow, this sort of stuff has been normalized. I long for the day when this sort of thing is viewed as being on par with "So, how much money exactly are you making at your new job?" or "So how often do you have sex with your spouse? Do you have a favorite position?" I mean really - it's none of your business, not any of it!

Well Yes, COVID can be seen as one vector of an ongoing spiritual war.

I've read various claims that according to patents lodged by Pharma Cos, jabbed people are deemed no longer fully human and become the intellectual property of the vax patent owner. That's the transhuman "you've got our patented nanotech inside of you" aspect.

This article claims "The afterlife findings are particularly dramatic: of forty-eight vaccinated deceased examined, the researchers report forty-seven remained earthbound—trapped in darkness, unable to experience normal post-death processes, disconnected from spiritual guidance."

I don't know how they would know that "forty-seven remained earthbound—trapped in darkness". How do you establish that?

Interestingly, YouTube has been throwing videos at me about demonic possession recently, such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D5eN9p0J9I&t=4s

One could make a case for the demonic possession of many politicians and their apparatchiks.
