Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 237
Mar. 31st, 2026 11:39 am
We are now well 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; 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.

'Refugees' arriving in our valley
Date: 2026-03-31 08:25 pm (UTC)It was the ideal place during the scamdemic, too remote for anyone to bother us and anyway we were permitted to roam and exercise in our "local council area", which is 50,000+ sq kms. Ha!
Recently we've had an influx of younger families, many of whom are homeschoolers and 'awake', which is great. It's a real boost to the community.
I postulate it's a delayed effect of COVID, as the new arrivals often say they've been planning their escape from the cities since the lockdowns.
Let's see how many more people wake up from the Iran/"Operation Epstein Fury" schmozzle.
Thank you

Covid vaccine and mammograms
Date: 2026-04-03 12:33 am (UTC)I had to schedule a mammogram and a bone density scan.
My conversation with my scheduler covered what I could and couldn't do, so the scans worked best.
Which led to her telling me that early on in the Covid scam, getting the vaccine would screw up your mammogram results!
A woman had to wait several weeks for the vaccine to clear her system before getting a mammogram or her results would be inaccurate. Think of the chance of getting a false positive if you, the patient, didn't know this!

Re: Covid vaccine and mammograms
Date: 2026-04-05 04:32 pm (UTC)In general mammograms are kind of a scam. In spite of picking up all kinds of tiny “cancers” they haven’t decreased the rates of advanced cancer at all. So they are pretty worthless. Dr. Vinay Prasad, who was just ousted from the FDA for being honest and actually trying to evaluate medical interventions including vaccines on an evidence basis, has some great essays about this on the Sensible Medicine substack. (He’s an oncologist by training, so I tend to believe him when he says cancer screenings besides Pap smears generally cause more harm than benefit.)

Short history of the medical industrial system
Date: 2026-04-03 02:46 am (UTC)I know there's a bit of controversy over unbekoming... whether it's AI driven or not.. I actually think it's a group of folks who are pooling their knowledge and trying to get more widespread dissemination. Thus the writing style seems a bit different from piece to piece, aka AI would be more consistent.
A quick summary of the above piece -
1 - Hunzakuts who live in a mountainous area were known to be pretty much cancer-free, and lived on a heavy diet of apricots and apricot kernels.
2 - Drs and naturopaths who used apricot kernels in conjunction with laetrile-rich foods — chickpeas, lentils, lima beans, mung bean sprouts, cashews, brown rice, millet, among roughly 1,200 different plants. It included pancreatic enzymes. Treatments were quite beneficial for most, with a significant percentage achieve full recovery or cure from cancer.
3 - In 1972, Kanematsu Sugiura from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center began testing laetrile. The request came from Benno Schmidt, head of the President’s Cancer Panel. Kanematsu Sugiura is considered the gold standard in cancer research, impeccable and absolutely thorough. They started to get good results and the people on his team started to leak the results out to the public.
4 - The system went into damage control... first they delayed publishing the results... and ordered the researchers to no longer share anything or else will be in breach of contract. Then they reduced the clinical study to just using amygdalin (aka Vitamin B17) as the supposed active compound from lactrile. And then designed studies to show that it did nothing.
5 - Apricot kernel is more of a 'whole' food rather than just 1 active compound... and the additional stuff like enzymes were deliberately excluded. Then they chose patient who had already undergone chemotherapy - aka their immune system was already shot to bits, while the protocol works to enhance the natural immune system to clear the cancer.
6 - In essence, the final studies were designed to 'fail'...
7 - This playbook was already actively being used in the early 70's... so the treatment that VIM got in subsequent years, was no an accident but a refined process to keep things buried.
8 - My own assessment - there's just too much evidence that it wasn't incompetency or bureaucratic inertia which didn't allow effective treatments to come into the play... there was deliberate malfeasance all along. Just remember, the alternative to which they subjected pretty much everyone was chemo.... Thus I think people need to understand the nature of the beast that we're dealing with here. They need to overcome all the mainstream programming about doctors and the medical system... they need to be way more knowledgeable about their health and the various ways and means to maintain that health.
9 - Personally I think most people are still quite naive about the level of evil we're dealing with here..

Interesting about Unbecoming. I dislike reading anything AI generated, and I suspect that Substack has a lot of AI behind it and yet I find myself reading it because it does offer a lot of information oftentimes difficult to find elsewhere. Perhaps you are right, it's more than one person writing there. Very mysterious. I do know this much: It's far too much material coming out for one person to be writing all that alone.
Very much agree with your point #9.

Date: 2026-04-05 11:25 pm (UTC)Yep. They don't want to face reality. It's too confronting and will destroy their comforting, long held beliefs. Of course it doesn't just apply to Pharma . . . (hello Mr Epstein and the war + financial machines).
Curmudgeonisms
Date: 2026-04-05 02:01 am (UTC)First an observation from my perch in Deep Bluelandia, USA, and then a question for the commentariat about Covid dissent.
At my workplace this week, I got news of serious health problems in one current and one former employee. An aggressive brain tumor, and a major heart attack. I bit my tongue as I always do, but it was depressing after I had started to hope that the fallout from the shots might be fading.
Now, my question. It seems to me that the unlikely alliance between certain liberals and certain conservatives around Covid (think RFK and Tulsi in the Trump admin, or the surprising range of political views on the Brownstone site) is fracturing. I myself can't bring myself to read Robert Malone or Coffee & Covid any longer because of the full-throated embrace of war. It also seemed for a while that Brownstone was gingerly avoiding any mention of the topic. I'm not trying to start a distracting discussion of the war here. I am wondering if others here also suspect a break-up of the strange political marriages that covid created. I suppose it could also just be that we've had roughly three years of comparative normalcy, and even formerly active dissidents have moved on. We see it even here, after all, in a reduced number of posts most weeks. Thanks for your impressions.

Re: Curmudgeonisms
Date: 2026-04-05 02:02 pm (UTC)One of the key esoteric predictions which carried weight with me was that 'the masks fall off'.... that means everyone starts to show their true colors... they can't hide behind facades anymore as the energy of the times is incongruent to that... so they can't help themselves. That's why Trump is showing us Trump in his full glory. And how some of the anti-vex folks are revealing themselves to be plants as I suspected. I am not getting any satisfaction from saying that.... as I'd already fully discounted those folks a long while back ... and that included people like Sasha Latpova, the one who keeps hyping the court cases that end up going nowhere.
We all have our reasons of how we got to be against the coof jabs... we shared our thinking, what we went through... while pretty much most of those folks being 'exposed' now were rather suspect in their backstories.

Date: 2026-04-05 08:12 pm (UTC)Yes, I see many alliances in the medical freedom world fracturing, and I expected to see that. I'll be hanging on for the rollercoaster ride.
I don't post as often here in recent weeks as I have in the past only because I'd be repeating myself. I continue to check in regularly and read the comments.

Re: Curmudgeonisms
Date: 2026-04-05 11:38 pm (UTC)The equally blatant and deranged war on Iran will hopefully wake up a bunch more people.
An interesting historical note is that just as the COVID rebellion initiated by the Canadian truckers was gaining traction around the world, Ukraine came along. Similarly, just as the uproar over Epstein was growing, Iran came along.
I've had a theory for a while that the global political landscape is just theatre and that there is no real opposition. The objective is chaos and despair to generate and mine what David Icke calls loosh. I've got that at about 50% probability for now.
Similarly, I estimate it's about a 50% probability that we're living in a simulation, rather than 'base reality', not that that makes any difference to the experience.
A related footnote is that it appears being 'evil' gets you the most material benefits in this plane. That means that following a moral code and striving to be 'good' comes with a cost - just sayin'.

You can search the VAERS data in here. Looks good.
Someone on Steve Kirsch's Substack was asking for any info about ALS as an adverse reaction to the covid jabs and Kirch recommended the site as a place to start.
Lyme disease
Date: 2026-04-06 02:16 am (UTC)I don't have lyme in my neck of the woods... but someone had asked about Lyme and VIM a few weeks ago... while the answer may not be definitive due to a limited dataset, it's still way more promising than what conventional medicine offers.
