During his teens, someone I know was in a band with two of his friends and his older brother. The brother was causing discord and resentment among his bandmates because he continually told them what they were doing wrong. In reaction, the group—minus big brother—met and agreed on a plan to stop the brother’s criticism: they kicked him out of the band.
Thanks Mark for your continued truth. As I work on my Complaint against my Former Employer, I am trying to convey, while articulating that I put my faith in God and not man, my lived experience - my family got COVID early on, but we relied on God's immunity and we have not gotten COVID since that time. We have also avoided other illness. We have submitted to testing to participate in life while watching those who are not required to participate in testing seemingly experience much illness. I will admit, it took me a few months to wake up from fear, but when I woke from fear and examined the data, I understood God's direction to me. I had no choice but to follow my conscience, despite losing my job, losing significant deferred compensation. And yet I know that when I go to court that I may not prevail - only if it is God's will - due to this disconnect that you discuss with what our eyes do see but yet which many believe. I know that the law, if applied correctly, is on my side, but I also know that is no guaranty of success. My constant prayer is God's will be done, that God give me peace regardless. And, yes, I have to pray that I find the ability to love and forgive my enemy, that I find a way to make my own peace and live my life, that I find a way to not let bitterness and anger overtake me so that I can be the best mother to my children, so that I can raise them to be adults that think critically and, I hope, live a life of faith, treating others with respect, being responsible for themselves. Pray for me, Mark, it's crunch time. Pray for my lawyer. Pray for all the Plaintiffs like me. Mark's readers, please pray for me. I have collected verses over this long period, some of which have come from your comments. Keep sending them. I need them now. One that came to me recently, during church, is Luke 18: 1-8, the Parable of the Persistent Widow:
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
I wish that I could print this out and have every family member who distanced themselves from me read it. You put into words the truth of exactly what happened, but no one who believes this was real will listen. I really never thought about their ego not wanting to admit they were wrong. It is so sad that we aren't able to discuss our thoughts, we just get shut down. I still can't talk to anyone in my family who fell for this - they all got vaxxed, and now I worry about them. I am the one in my family considered high risk - no spleen - rare disease - almost 80 years old - I didn't get the shots - I did test positive for the virus at one point - was only sick one day - I'm still here - :-) - you would think that would be enough to wake my family up, but it didn't. They all thought I was crazy because I wouldn't wear a mask. God bless all of these people who fell for it; I don't think they'll ever be right again.
It’s like you’re reading my diary Mark. I got kicked out of a lot of bands and now they don’t want to talk about it. Everyone just gaslights now - friends, the media, the government, the health officials. It’s all too hard to come to grips with because, and I said this to my Dad as he asked me to leave their house for refusing to be jabbed: YOU ARE BEING PLAYED BY BIG PHARMA! I’ve been right about everything but no one wants to talk about it. I’m expected to just forgive and forget.
"As these sequelae develop, I’ll remind anyone who will listen—and those who won’t—that they’re seeing a true form of Long Covid, encompassing social, psychological and economic devastation."
Thank you for articulating 'Long Covid' this way. It makes so much sense. I don't know you Mark, and I wouldn't recognise you if I met you face-to-face, but I am so deeply grateful for your determination not to give up or to give in. Your posts, and the posts of like-minded people here on Substack, have helped me maintain a sense of connection and of sanity.
Personally, I realise that what I thought was depression over the whole sorry saga is actually grief. I'm still in grief shock at how readily people I considered life-long friends, church-going Christians to boot, cheerfully and self-righteously 'othered' me and anyone else daring to question the validity of any of it.
I know it's selfish, but I'm grieving over the grandchildren I realistically may not have because my 'vaxxed'-and-in-denial children may well be infertile now.
I'm grieving for the countless recurrent cases of 'covid' and 'flu-like illnesses dogging my 'vaxxed' family, friends, and acquaintances.
I'm grieving for all those I know and don't know who have been harmed and killed.
I'm grieving at the denial and utter lack of compassion by our doctors, scientists, and especially our governing officials toward those they have harmed.
I'm grieving at being hurled involuntarily through this black hole of evil into a new reality I'm struggling to understand.
I saw an old friend yesterday, she had been sick with covid last month. And I had FOUR jabs, she said, and one could very well hear in her tone how outraged she was, that her doc had lied to her ! Another one woke up ! Of course the unjabbed in the party did not say, we told you so. We stopped talking for these deaf men ears a long time ago. I admire your courage and strength, that you keep on going even if no one is listening ! I don't expect any of these will ever apologize.
Yes, it is unfortunate that just like the garage band that doesn't listen and eventually breaks up out of sheer incompetence, ego and ennui, we have to watch society do the same. Society has to break up, and it will, eventually.
I guess I've gotten to the prophet point of "letting things be." We all did the best we could in warning others, we were ignored and ridiculed and some of us lost our livelihoods and even our lives. But we did what was right and now we must let the results be the results. I take heart in knowing that the destruction of such a society as we currently have is a good thing in the end. God is Good and He sees. God does not have prophets for nothing.
I too have been trying to sound a warning, using hard-sought data, using logical science, etc. and been met with criticism, been kicked off social media, etc. And I STILL keep sending stuff out. Yes, some think I'm nuts, but I think a few are coming around but not talking to me or admitting it. I'll continue to send stuff out (though less frequently - I don't need to preach to a choir, but it there's a new "emergency" or a new tactic being thrown in that I get wind of early, I'll do my research and at least show people what the real deal is, and why. I think people will appreciate having some info that is more honest than what they get on the MSM channels, but through it all, I hope they become more critical thinkers. I'll try to break down complex topics, or connect a few dots, or let people know about events around the country or around the world that they won't hear about in the MSM. I try not to TELL them what to do, but will sometimes share what I'm doing. I'll also point people to sources I feel are trustworthy - ie, teach a man to fish... I also try to not be too negative, and throw in positive stuff once in a while.
I'm going to try to organize a pancake breakfast for a number of neighbors around me, and hopefully get people to introduce themselves to one another, and start to build bridges of trust, skill-sets, etc. We're being isolated from one another in various ways, and the time is soon coming (I feel) that we're going to need to rely on one another in close proximity for eyes, ears, and taking care of one another. (I was booted off Nextdoor for promoting "vaccine hesitancy", so I can't use that. But meeting people face-to-face I think will go a long ways to helping people become more friendly to one another.
Here we are almost three years later and where do we stand with our family and friends?
All of mine are bitter, and I am still, according to my alcoholic sister in law, a "stupid f*cking bitch"
My sister was an RN and employee at NIH Bethesda. She bought right in.
My entire family has shunned us.
It is just hubbs and me, on our own.
Both of my daughters, whom I thought I gave them the sense to think for themselves... have also refused to talk about any of this. All of them are vaxxed.
This whole thing was quite a charade of immeasurable damage, and here we are, ... not sure if any movement toward reconciliation or understanding will ever occur - it will be a quiet Christmas
You read my thoughts and put them into words. Thank you for sharing your talent. I am not eager to join their lousy band either - figure I was set free for a reason. I won't stop praying for them or us all!
[RFK JR. ON THE THREE REASONS BIG TECH IS CENSORING US]
30:00
BRIAN ROSE: Robert, let me ask you a question because with the evening news we can see the direct correlation with the pharmaceutical industry and say what Anderson says, and we know that's where a lot of the American public and the world get their information. The government obviously has its own ties to the business through these health officials. What about Big Tech? Because I got strike after strike on my YouTube channel back in 2020. I was forced to create this digital freedom platform because we could not stream episodes with you, with all sorts of other people that were saying the same things you were saying. You have been banned, shadow-banned and blocked by FaceBook, by Instagram, I watched over the years. How does Big Tech fit into this whole piece of the pie? Because obviously it's very hard to see a direct correlation. So yeah. How does that work?
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR: There are three, there are three reasons why Big Tech is censoring us, that, you know, that I can see.
One is the technology companies have deep, deep relationships with the pharmaceutical industry. So Google owns three vaccine companies. Google's parent company which is called Alphabet is a vaccine maker. They own three companies that are making vaccines including universal flu vaccines and covid vaccines. And all of these companies make a substantial part of their revenue by, with the side-deals with pharmaceutical companies by, you know, one thing they do is that they're monitoring your health. They're watching you with, you know, Siri, and with what you order, and those algorithms are telling them if you're sick, if you're likely to buy a drug, and then they do targeted advertising. And that's a partnership. But in some cases they're actually letting the pharmaceutical companies, like Glaxo-Smith Cline has a deal with Google where they, and I think it's a 76 million dollar deal, where they are actually running part of that program to mine the users for medical vulnerabilities that they can exploit. That's one issue.
The other issue is that they're under tremendous pressure from the government to censor any information that is, ah, that challenges government orthodoxies. And I know this because I'm suing FaceBook right now and we're in discovery and we're very attuned to what they've done. But you know, they're, Alex Berenson who used to work for the New York Times is in discovery and got a document for the same kind of case that I have, and he got a document [inaudible] a couple of months ago or couple of weeks ago that shows that there's been direct communications, in fact a regular meeting between the Big Tech groups and the White House about censoring people like me. Specifically, anybody who's part of the disinformation dozen where, which is a group of people that they say, you know, broadcast misinformation.
But, and I want to say the word misinformation as they use it has nothing to do with factual accuracy. They admit this. It is any statement, this is how they define it, that challenges government orthodoxies on vaccines or medical intervention. So anything that diminishes vaccine uptake or that tends to cast the CDC or the WHO in a bad light, or challenges their public assertions, those are regarded as misinformation no matter what. The factual accuracy is irrelevant.
And let me just say this about myself. We have a huge fact-checking department. You know, you mentioned my book [The Real Anthony Fauci]. My book is essentially a 900 page book that has 250,000 words, it has it has 2200 footnotes, and a lot of it, it's been censored. There's also a lot of people we have to presume from the industry that are looking at the book and looking for vulnerabilities, looking for places where I made a misstatement. We have a huge fact-checking operation at CHD [Children's Health Defense], we have 320 PhD scientists and MD physicians, I have an advisory board, uou know, Luc Montaigner was one of those, who was a Nobel Prize winner. We have former head of the national toxicity program. So these are real scientists and they look at what I put out and criticize and if they don't think it's sustainable. So everything, every statement I make in that book is cited or sourced to peer-reviewed publication, government data bases. And we did a good job because nobody's found— there's going to be inaccuracies. You can't write a book that long and that dense without doing something. But if here's an inaccuracy and people point it out, I invite people to point it out at the beginning of the book. What is our reaction? Our reaction is not going to be to dig in, it's going to be to change it, and apologize and move on. And with The Defender, you know, our newsletter, we probably have the most extensive fact-checking operation of any, of any, like, daily paper now in the country because nobody else does fact-checking now. And, and you know, if I was making a lot of mistakes, like really factual errors, none of those people would stay with me. We're very, very careful about it.
But what they use that term vaccine misinformation not to denote something that is factually inaccurate, but rather something that challenges government orthodoxy. And you know that is a very, very odd, as you point out, posture for the press. The press is supposed to be in a constant posture of skepticism towards government, towards powerful conglomerations of wealth and power. Fierce criticism, fierce skepticism. But that is gone now and the role has been reversed where they're supposed to be speaking truth to power, they are defending power to people who challenge it. It's really extraordinary. It's not a good thing in democracy. And it's not, a democracy is not sustainable when you have this level of global media malpractice.
Democracies only function where there is a free flow of information where the best governing policies rise to the top in the marketplace of ideas. And if you stop people from talking about their ideas, it's, you know, what happens? You've got a tyranny and totalitarianism, and you know, the, you know, a uniformity of ideas which is like you know, a religion. It's not democracy and it's not science, it's religion. It's faith and blind faith in undeserving authorities, rather than people doing critical thinking, which you need to do in a democracy.
So those are two of the issues, is the government putting pressure. And the government has tremendous leverage over these companies because the government itself is threatening to remove their section 230 immunity which is an existential threat to those companies. That's the immunity that says you can't sue them for libeling you. So they can print lies and libel and slander about people on their site and nobody can sue them because they say, well we're just a common carrier. We're carrying all this information and we can't fact check everything, so people have to understand, people are going to be putting things on our site that aren't true, misinformation or libelous, you can't sue Mark Zuckerberg for it if somebody puts something libelous about me on his site, I can't sue him. Section 230. And so the government is threatening to take that from them if they don't censor people like me.
BRIAN ROSE: Right.
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR: And that's an existential—[inaudible]. And then the third thing I, you know, I think this is the toughest thing for people to swallow, but you really need to read my book and particularly last chapter of the book, but there's a deep involvement of the intelligence agencies in this project.
The gaslighting itself should be a disqualifier for a future career to anyone who tries it.
“We couldn’t have known”
“The science was evolving”
“We were just trying to do what was best”
“If our efforts saved just one life, yadda yadda…”
Etc.
The gaslighters responsible for this catastrophe (public policy, media, healthcare person) should be denied future employment in their field. They should be ostracized as the intellectual lepers that they are.
If you’re just a Karen then fine, you can keep your job. But you’re admitting you’re a know-nothing rube who got scammed. I’ll just keep that in mind the next time you try to convince me of something.
There needs to be consequences for the public health frauds in government, hospitals, and Dr offices. Same goes for military brass, company execs, and school boards who forced masking and vaxes. It definitely goes for ex-presidents as well. This guy, who was so oblivious to the world around him, that he rained down a holocaust on not just America, but the other nations who followed his lead., should be drummed out of public life.
And as for the people still pushing said ex-president, you’re as bad as the aforementioned healthcare, public policy, and media people who are gaslighting us to this day. Trying to convince us how Trump “couldn’t have known” and was “just trying his best” is just another lie I refuse to listen to at this juncture.
These past few years have played out like a scene from Orwell’s ‘1984’…Orwell used a military reference that speaks to, in many ways, our own experience these past few years…he writes,
“And at the same time the consciousness of being at war and therefore in danger makes the handing over of all power to a small caste seem the natural, unavoidable condition of survival”.
Funny thing is, if folks had just buried their heads in some sand against Covid itself, we'd of been much much better off. The belief we could control, effect or improve outcomes with jabs of curdled sewer gel is just like lots (99.9%) of our 'improvements', ultimately a truly Killer idea so to speak.
Thanks Mark for your continued truth. As I work on my Complaint against my Former Employer, I am trying to convey, while articulating that I put my faith in God and not man, my lived experience - my family got COVID early on, but we relied on God's immunity and we have not gotten COVID since that time.

And, yes, I have to pray that I find the ability to love and forgive my enemy, that I find a way to make my own peace and live my life, that I find a way to not let bitterness and anger overtake me so that I can be the best mother to my children, so that I can raise them to be adults that think critically and, I hope, live a life of faith, treating others with respect, being responsible for themselves. Pray for me, Mark, it's crunch time. Pray for my lawyer. Pray for all the Plaintiffs like me. Mark's readers, please pray for me. I have collected verses over this long period, some of which have come from your comments. Keep sending them. I need them now. One that came to me recently, during church, is Luke 18: 1-8, the Parable of the Persistent Widow:

I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Dear Mark, If I were there in person, I'd give you a hug. You are an angel.
I wish that I could print this out and have every family member who distanced themselves from me read it. You put into words the truth of exactly what happened, but no one who believes this was real will listen. I really never thought about their ego not wanting to admit they were wrong.

They all thought I was crazy because I wouldn't wear a mask. God bless all of these people who fell for it; I don't think they'll ever be right again.
It’s like you’re reading my diary Mark. I got kicked out of a lot of bands and now they don’t want to talk about it. Everyone just gaslights now - friends, the media, the government, the health officials. It’s all too hard to come to grips with because, and I said this to my Dad as he asked me to leave their house for refusing to be jabbed: YOU ARE BEING PLAYED BY BIG PHARMA!

TRANSCRIPT - EXCERPT
[RFK JR. ON THE THREE REASONS BIG TECH IS CENSORING US]
30:00
BRIAN ROSE: Robert, let me ask you a question because with the evening news we can see the direct correlation with the pharmaceutical industry and say what Anderson says, and we know that's where a lot of the American public and the world get their information. The government obviously has its own ties to the business through these health officials. What about Big Tech? Because I got strike after strike on my YouTube channel back in 2020. I was forced to create this digital freedom platform because we could not stream episodes with you, with all sorts of other people that were saying the same things you were saying. You have been banned, shadow-banned and blocked by FaceBook, by Instagram, I watched over the years. How does Big Tech fit into this whole piece of the pie? Because obviously it's very hard to see a direct correlation. So yeah. How does that work?
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR: There are three, there are three reasons why Big Tech is censoring us, that, you know, that I can see.
One is the technology companies have deep, deep relationships with the pharmaceutical industry. So Google owns three vaccine companies. Google's parent company which is called Alphabet is a vaccine maker. They own three companies that are making vaccines including universal flu vaccines and covid vaccines. And all of these companies make a substantial part of their revenue by, with the side-deals with pharmaceutical companies by, you know, one thing they do is that they're monitoring your health. They're watching you with, you know, Siri, and with what you order, and those algorithms are telling them if you're sick, if you're likely to buy a drug, and then they do targeted advertising. And that's a partnership. But in some cases they're actually letting the pharmaceutical companies, like Glaxo-Smith Cline has a deal with Google where they, and I think it's a 76 million dollar deal, where they are actually running part of that program to mine the users for medical vulnerabilities that they can exploit. That's one issue.
The other issue is that they're under tremendous pressure from the government to censor any information that is, ah, that challenges government orthodoxies. And I know this because I'm suing FaceBook right now and we're in discovery and we're very attuned to what they've done. But you know, they're, Alex Berenson who used to work for the New York Times is in discovery and got a document for the same kind of case that I have, and he got a document [inaudible] a couple of months ago or couple of weeks ago that shows that there's been direct communications, in fact a regular meeting between the Big Tech groups and the White House about censoring people like me. Specifically, anybody who's part of the disinformation dozen where, which is a group of people that they say, you know, broadcast misinformation.
But, and I want to say the word misinformation as they use it has nothing to do with factual accuracy. They admit this. It is any statement, this is how they define it, that challenges government orthodoxies on vaccines or medical intervention. So anything that diminishes vaccine uptake or that tends to cast the CDC or the WHO in a bad light, or challenges their public assertions, those are regarded as misinformation no matter what. The factual accuracy is irrelevant.
And let me just say this about myself. We have a huge fact-checking department. You know, you mentioned my book [The Real Anthony Fauci]. My book is essentially a 900 page book that has 250,000 words, it has it has 2200 footnotes, and a lot of it, it's been censored. There's also a lot of people we have to presume from the industry that are looking at the book and looking for vulnerabilities, looking for places where I made a misstatement. We have a huge fact-checking operation at CHD [Children's Health Defense], we have 320 PhD scientists and MD physicians, I have an advisory board, uou know, Luc Montaigner was one of those, who was a Nobel Prize winner. We have former head of the national toxicity program. So these are real scientists and they look at what I put out and criticize and if they don't think it's sustainable. So everything, every statement I make in that book is cited or sourced to peer-reviewed publication, government data bases. And we did a good job because nobody's found— there's going to be inaccuracies. You can't write a book that long and that dense without doing something. But if here's an inaccuracy and people point it out, I invite people to point it out at the beginning of the book. What is our reaction? Our reaction is not going to be to dig in, it's going to be to change it, and apologize and move on. And with The Defender, you know, our newsletter, we probably have the most extensive fact-checking operation of any, of any, like, daily paper now in the country because nobody else does fact-checking now. And, and you know, if I was making a lot of mistakes, like really factual errors, none of those people would stay with me. We're very, very careful about it.
But what they use that term vaccine misinformation not to denote something that is factually inaccurate, but rather something that challenges government orthodoxy. And you know that is a very, very odd, as you point out, posture for the press. The press is supposed to be in a constant posture of skepticism towards government, towards powerful conglomerations of wealth and power. Fierce criticism, fierce skepticism. But that is gone now and the role has been reversed where they're supposed to be speaking truth to power, they are defending power to people who challenge it. It's really extraordinary. It's not a good thing in democracy. And it's not, a democracy is not sustainable when you have this level of global media malpractice.
Democracies only function where there is a free flow of information where the best governing policies rise to the top in the marketplace of ideas. And if you stop people from talking about their ideas, it's, you know, what happens? You've got a tyranny and totalitarianism, and you know, the, you know, a uniformity of ideas which is like you know, a religion. It's not democracy and it's not science, it's religion. It's faith and blind faith in undeserving authorities, rather than people doing critical thinking, which you need to do in a democracy.
So those are two of the issues, is the government putting pressure. And the government has tremendous leverage over these companies because the government itself is threatening to remove their section 230 immunity which is an existential threat to those companies. That's the immunity that says you can't sue them for libeling you. So they can print lies and libel and slander about people on their site and nobody can sue them because they say, well we're just a common carrier. We're carrying all this information and we can't fact check everything, so people have to understand, people are going to be putting things on our site that aren't true, misinformation or libelous, you can't sue Mark Zuckerberg for it if somebody puts something libelous about me on his site, I can't sue him. Section 230. And so the government is threatening to take that from them if they don't censor people like me.
BRIAN ROSE: Right.
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR: And that's an existential—[inaudible]. And then the third thing I, you know, I think this is the toughest thing for people to swallow, but you really need to read my book and particularly last chapter of the book, but there's a deep involvement of the intelligence agencies in this project.

Great read Mark.
Yes far too many folks with tin ears out their still tapping feet to dangerously inharmonious songs.
Congratulations on your last piece appearing on Lew Rockwell’s link! That’s a well deserved big time acknowledgment of your important writing.
The gaslighting itself should be a disqualifier for a future career to anyone who tries it.
“We couldn’t have known”
“The science was evolving”
“We were just trying to do what was best”
“If our efforts saved just one life, yadda yadda…”
Etc.
The gaslighters responsible for this catastrophe (public policy, media, healthcare person) should be denied future employment in their field. They should be ostracized as the intellectual lepers that they are.
If you’re just a Karen then fine, you can keep your job. But you’re admitting you’re a know-nothing rube who got scammed. I’ll just keep that in mind the next time you try to convince me of something.
There needs to be consequences for the public health frauds in government, hospitals, and Dr offices. Same goes for military brass, company execs, and school boards who forced masking and vaxes. It definitely goes for ex-presidents as well. This guy, who was so oblivious to the world around him, that he rained down a holocaust on not just America, but the other nations who followed his lead., should be drummed out of public life.
And as for the people still pushing said ex-president, you’re as bad as the aforementioned healthcare, public policy, and media people who are gaslighting us to this day. Trying to convince us how Trump “couldn’t have known” and was “just trying his best” is just another lie I refuse to listen to at this juncture.
These past few years have played out like a scene from Orwell’s ‘1984’…Orwell used a military reference that speaks to, in many ways, our own experience these past few years…he writes,
“And at the same time the consciousness of being at war and therefore in danger makes the handing over of all power to a small caste seem the natural, unavoidable condition of survival”.
Funny thing is, if folks had just buried their heads in some sand against Covid itself, we'd of been much much better off. The belief we could control, effect or improve outcomes with jabs of curdled sewer gel is just like lots (99.9%) of our 'improvements', ultimately a truly Killer idea so to speak.
