Mark, I enjoy pretty much everything you write. Your themes and descriptions are very accessible, well-written, and timely. But this piece right here? It Fcking RESONATES. Outstanding work!
All this time, I kept thinking, "surely my loved ones will figure this out soon and wake up, and stop condemning anyone who objects or doesn't comply." And it has not happened yet! The hardest thing to take has been the wide division between rational people and brainwashed but otherwise previously rational people. It's shocking and painful, like a death, when it happens to people close to you.
What has happened, though, is that since mask mandates have lifted and Omicron happened, they are no longer fearful of being in an enclosed space with unvaccinated people. So my social life is improving. I'm receiving invitations to carpool to various things, whereas before I was not invited, or I had to drive separately because of the dangers of riding in a car together, even masked. Unvaccinated people = literally toxic
Unfortunately, many concert venues here are doubling down and requiring proof of the 3rd shot, and my loved ones see nothing morally wrong with that, as these are "private businesses who can do what they want." And we have such a large population of brainwashed sheep, that the musicians/venues do not notice the handful of people like me who are still shut out of that type of uplifting, normal social activity.
As one of my loved ones said to me, "you can always choose to get the vaccine, you know...."
And STILL showing them. Mask mandates were done since March ? (I stopped wearing one some time before, I was just done) and 1/2 my co workers ares still walking around masked. It’s a security blanket for one and a “can’t smell the booze on my breath” for the other…I got sober a decade too early!
I hear you. What I've discovered during the pandemic is that I am more extroverted than I realized. Unfortunately, being alone feels like death to me. What I really could use are some like-minded friends and we could band together. Those are in short supply in the area in which I live (including my employer, my family, my neighbors, my friends, my church) -- very brainwashed area. I will not give up, though. I occasionally find a partially brainwashed person, but they do not do their own research and .... just haven't lucked out, yet. I'll keep trying. I've found plenty on the internet, and that's been my lifeline.
So yes..... I understand what you are saying and do not disagree, but I will not jettison lifelong relationships with family and friends over this. I won't take the jab. And I will continue to explain why I didn't, in case one day that info might help wake someone up (hasn't yet....)
I'm lucky. After my church shut down, I found a new church much closer to home. Sometimes, I go to events at the church 4x a week. Everyone acts like normal people. Lots of hugs and handshakes.
Occasionally someone wears a mask under the mistaken notion that they are somehow protecting a compromised loved one at home. But everyone treats them in a friendly manner. Actually, I haven't seen a mask on anyone in a few months.
Some are jabbed. Some are not jabbed. Nobody asks. I mostly know when a jabbed person volunteers the info as if assuring me that they are "safe". I am sure some can guess I am unjabbed because I am vocal about how I feel about the LMTVs. I also offer info on the effective, early treatments and have had people contact me on where to get them.
I cannot imagine how awful it must be to live in a locked down, brain washed, masked up area to this day. It was bad enough for the past two years when I had to go into a "captured" zone. But at least I had "free zones" to find some normalcy.
I work in a small boutique in Florida. We can always tell who is a tourist from NY, Chicago, Pennsylvania, because they are masked with those ridiculous n-95s. Good luck to them living in their delusions.
Found a few like minded people, but not as close as the ones I lost to the brainwashing. Luckily I got animals, they never would believe all we are told. Animals are so much smarter.
The closeness was a feature of knowing them for so long, but when you start to evaluate the ‘friendships’, you come to see a different picture. If they were so great, accepting you regardless of your political and social differences, how were they so easily swayed, drank the Kool Aid, and come to see you and what you believe in and stand for, as the ‘enemy’ or a ‘nut job conspiracy theorist’’ or whatever else they may have thought about you? Because that part of their nature and their proclivity to believe ‘the authorities’, that ‘go along to get along’ type of attitude was always in there. They just had never had to face or look at that part of their nature, and they still don’t want to look at how they could have been so duped and led down a path by ‘the authorities’ that was not in their best interest. These are the type of questions one needs to ask oneself when looking back at these ‘lost friendships’.
At first it was hurtful when rejected by old friends ( and family) for my beliefs and non-actions. Now i am happy they were exposed as intolerant and ignorant sheep.
ONe of them has a problem driving and asked me a few months ago to drive with me. I consented because of a 12 year old friendship. But I hardly recognize the person I once loved and admired. All I can see now, is the blindly following of a false narrative, the unquestioningly approving whatever the government proposed, the standing on 'I am the scientist' stance, without even looking into the business, and keeping on saying that masks, lock downs, shots, were 'for the greater good'. Well I prefer to be myself and think for myself. I even bought the Attkisson Tshirts and will wear them to go there one of these days LOL
I can relate. I live in the Bay area, California and most of the people around me, including all my friends and loved ones, don't question the narrative and are vaccinated. I am introverted and during the first year of covid, I enjoyed the time to myself. Then I really missed the contact with friends last year, and on top of that it's been quite painful to be targeted or have people be afraid of me because I'm not vaccinated. Luckily my stepsons and their family never thought twice about seeing me. 🙏💕 I reached out through the internet and found quite a wonderful unvaccinated community in the North Bay. These are new relationships, and take time to blossom. We have a dinner party every other week and have a great time together. I got my haircut yesterday and the hair salon requires masks for unvaccinated people, and my hairdresser wears a mask around only unvaccinated people. She has an unshakable belief that unvaccinated people are a greater threat to her than vaccinated. She's in her thirties and a little overweight. This type of thing still really hurts my feelings, but I was able to bring it up without too much charge. I can feel she is a wall that won't let any other information in. I told her that was the last time I will be getting a haircut from her. We have a business directory of unvaccinated people in my area and I found another hairdresser. So at least my hair will look nice as I'm carted off to the unvaccinated camps, or as we approach end times! 😅
As I was reading this I thought to myself…time to fire the hairdresser! Good for you! I live in San Diego and left my hairdresser of 20 plus years because of her fearful and Woke politics. After my last appointment last summer I never rescheduled with her. And I know she knows why.
Yes there are pockets of your new type of friends in Marin and Sonoma Counties and even in SF! I’ve met a number of them at a couple of Childrens Health Defense fundraisers that I attended in September of 2020 & 2021 in San Rafael! I’m so glad you found Your ‘Tribe’!
Thanks for your support. 😁 Ah, so you probably know Marsha and her husband... I forget his name, a lovely people, and a good group down in Marin. Their meet up down in Marin was one of the first ones I went to and made contacts from there up in Sonoma county.
I'm glad you found your tribe too, that's wonderful it's such a big group in San Diego! I looked up WOTRL on telegram, I'm not on facebook, but I didn't see any group information.
I have good friends (a couple) in Sebastopol who are like us. They are long time friends of over 40 years who didn’t drink the Kool aid and I still speak to them and visit them as least once a year.
I never met the hostess of the CHD events, just random people I spoke with. The Telegram page is listed as WRL.
Your tribe is out there! I live in Commifornia in San Diego. Through a Facebook group I found Warriors of the Radical Light (which was a term Christiane Northrup coined and these groups sprouted out of her daily talks on FB and Instagram she was doing before being kicked off). It is a group of like minded souls like you. There are groups all over the country but our group in San Diego is one of the largest with 70 people. I have met such wonderful people and mad me some great new friends. The Facebook WOTRL page Administrator is Pamela (not Lisa by the Sea which is a break off group from the the original WOTRL group) and she is also on Telegram as WRL. Put the word out…you WILL find your Tribe! 💓🙏🏻
Fortunately I have a family that are freedom loving ‘Patriots’ and never bought the Scamdemic or Vaxx propaganda. I had a few former ‘longtime friendships’ that ‘bit the dust’ during Covid but that was ok..they were so delusional, bought the whole program and basically have their head in the sand. I also realized that these so called ‘friendships’ were all about them and not me. So I was basically not losing a lot, by not having them in my life anymore. My new friends are so much nicer, open minded, and extending of their love & friendship. And you only need a couple of new good people to share stuff with! 🙏🏼💓
I got thrown off of FB and as a result Instagram, which was really the only thing I did (all sewing, sewing groups, quilting, fabric, friends, fun, and silliness) but I said some "disinformation" on FB .... they won't tell me what the specific violation was. I asked several times. So, I was "suspended" and my accounts shut down. That was last November 2021. I grieved deeply about my sewing pals, but I refuse to start a new instagram account. Now, I am just keeping busy, and have more time. Oh well.
Move to florida as many parents have done in Order to provide in person and normal ( as much as can be expected from public schools) educational opportunities for their children. No crazy lefties need apply.....
introverts do have it easier. I have many introverted friends who are not experiencing lockdown loneliness. But each of us experiences this in our own way, and it's important to search for compassion, especially towards the brainwashed who are being tricked and used.
I heartily agree with you. I'm a "severe" introvert, and I had NO problem with not coming into physical contact with persons during two years of mostly tyrannical government-enforced solitude, due to my refusing to take an experimental jab that had a highly disturbing adverse reaction profile. I very much enjoyed my online contact with like-minded people, and substack has been a blessing -- truly an "embarrassment of riches".
Similar shunning happened to me. I was playing with a small jazz group weekly and the other members refused to continue playing with me -- an unvaxxed untermenschen -- in "an enclosed space".
They colluded among themselves behind my back before throwing me to the curb. Two of them actually put the onus on their wives (that is, their proxy mommies) for the prohibition. Incredibly pathetic.
I pointed out that the killer vaxxes do not stop transmission, even according to the companies' own claims. It was like talking to a wall. These are educated people, one of them a professor at an Ivy League college.
This individual has a 16 year old daughter who it strongly appears has a heart condition as a result of the vaxx.
A friend and accomplished luthier from this area was clearly killed over a period of months post-vax. I confirmed this with his ex-spouse. Yet the public health authorities are still pushing boosters.
Make no mistake this is a mass killing agenda at work. It is also some sort of intelligence test for the human race.
What a disappointing and maddening action by your jazz group. The ones we least expect to be so domineering turn out to be the worse. Seems the higher the education (ivy league), the more their brains are smushed from any critical thinking.
Higher education: aka: higher amount of brainwashing. Lots of highly educated without an ounce of logic or discernment. Darwinism will be thinning the human herd, that’s for sure.
I lost a long time friend over this. She refused to visit after months of plans because I wasn’t boosted. When I said I wasn’t vaxed she lost it. Oh well, I’ve moved on. Don’t need that in my life. My older son tried to talk about my getting vaxed. I told him to never bring it up as I wasn’t going to. We remain close and never discuss this craziness.
The toll on relationships is hard. I was in a relationship when COVID hit, and when I refused to get jabbed, he broke things off. I know it's "good riddance," but after three years together, it is painful and as we know, unnecessary (based on falsehoods which divide people).
My children and I are similar; they are jabbed and we don't discuss it.
Oh my, I’m sure that hurt. Good riddance is same reaction I had, but doesn’t take away the disappointment and shock. So very unnecessary. I’m sorry you went through this and hope you find a much better person to be in your life that values your critical thinking.
Homoborgiensis is what has been made. My family, borg, stopped at 2 jabs. Me, unjabbed, had the illness 2019, am I still human, even legally? 'Hackable animals' says the devil, Harari. 'They know not what they do', says O'Looney the mortician. Look up your local WEF chapter and feel free to contact the members. Portland OR has one. Fear has many faces online.
And yet...how many of those people were the SAME people who wailed from the treetops that NO F'ING WAY will they take a vaxx that Trump had anything to do with.
They are intellectually dishonest and they are mentally ill.
none of the bureaucrats, media, politicians, and "medical professionals" that foisted this disaster should be allowed to get away with it. They need to be in prison or worse. We cannot forget.
And not in a country club style prison either. Many should get a life sentence without parole. Others should be sentenced to death.
Many have suffered adverse effects, including death, from the covid "vaccines". The warning signals are in VAERS. Heck, VAERS is like a flashing red light now. Anyone that questions the shots or has a different opinion about them is censored.
I really would love to see a tally of the losses that we have suffered globally, from missed/delayed cancer/other diagnoses that led to death, to declined mental health, to businesses lost, to removing effectively a full year of education from the generation in schools, to broad global issues such as the U.N. World Food Programme’s Chief Economist warning that an extra 130 million people went hungry annually ... and the CDC estimated in mid-2021 that US children and teens received almost 12 million fewer PROVEN vaccine doses (measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus).
Also, drug overdoses and the true effects on our military. Saw the following post by Robyn Openshaw on her Telegram:
"Mat Staver, lead attorney for Liberty Council with over 100 affiliated lawyers around the US told me this morning that more military personnel have died of the injection (as well as suicide because of their illnesses and desperation and losing their jobs) in America than all of the covid deaths in America for 2 years."
And believe it or not, the child/infant death rate actually dropped during those two years of proven (whatever that is) vaccination decreases. I believe someone also reported via substack that autism rates also dropped.
While I too know of the millions pushed closer to starvation and extreme poverty by the criminal covid Cabal, often unrecognized or thought of by so many, I think you need to reconsider the "safety and efficacy" of the 72 fully indemnified and highly toxic vaccines on the current CDC reccommended schedule.
Read up on the Vaxxed vs Unvaxxed survey done by the Control Group for their litigation.
Look at the Lazarus study of Harvard's Pilgrim Health an which concluded that only 1% - 10% of vaccine injuries make it into VAERS, or read either the Guinea-Bissau study, showing that little girls died at higher rates if vaccinated than if not, or James Lyons Weiler's peer reviewed paper on Dr. Paul Thomas's pediatric practice which showed that the unvaccinated were much more healthy than the vaccinated.
We have been lied to about vaccines for a very, very, very long time, indeed.
The Pfizer bots on Twitter claim that VAERS is completely unreliable, to which the response should always be, "Yes that's true; it is only reporting about 10% (or less) of the actual injuries and deaths."
If vaers is so unreliable why doesn't pfizer develop and use its own tracking system. Oh that's right they told the FDA they didn't want to because vaers was good enough. Asses.
I hear that from people all of the time. They say that anyone can make a report and that the reports are not verified. I ask them if they've ever bothered to read any of the reports on VAERS. Many of the reports are submitted by healthcare providers. Can read reports at: https://openvaers.com/covid-data/covid-reports
Also, this is on the site when someone completes a VAERS report the site states,
"Knowingly filing a false VAERS report is a violation of Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1001) punishable by fine and imprisonment" so I don't think people are completing the reports as a mistruth. https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html
Also, copied from the VAERS site:
What happens after a report is submitted
Each VAERS report is assigned a VAERS identification number. This number can be used to provide additional information about the report to VAERS, if necessary. VAERS will send the identification number to the reporting individual in a confirmation letter (electronically or by mail, depending on communications preferences listed on the original report).
Other than the confirmation letter, VAERS will only reach out to the reporting individual for additional information if “essential fields” of the VAERS form are not filled out. VAERS will not contact the reporting individual by phone for follow-up. Additional information requests are sent electronically or by mail and will explain what information is missing from the report and how the reporter can update it.
The VAERS program follows up on reports classified as serious by attempting to obtain medical records to better understand the event. These requests for medical records are made directly to health institutions or public health authorities that create and maintain medical records. The medical records are added to the permanent record under the VAERS ID, compliant with privacy standards.
The idiots who make claims about people making stuff up on VAERS are just that, idiots.
Daniel Horowitz has talked a lot about this because he knows docs who have explained the process to him.
• It requires detailed knowledge to be able to complete the form. Most laypeople wouldn't know what to submit.
•Since the government (CDC and/or FDA) reviews all submissions, they delete anything that looks like it's just made up info.
• The submission process takes a doc about 2 hours to complete. Most docs don't have time to enter that info so they don't even try.
• The form often crashes while entering the data and the person doing the submission has to start over again. One more reason that healthcare providers don't enter the injuries or deaths into the system.
• Doctors are reprimanded or even penalized for submitting reports to VAERS.
• As you said, it is illegal to falsify a VAERS report. And you can bet that they go after people who do.
This is FABULOUS! I knew the experts were wrong from the start, not because I'm a questioner necessarily, but because I am an OCD hypochondriac. As such, I knew way more than a normal person about viruses. From February 2020 on nothing made sense, based on what I knew to be true about coronaviruses. It never once added up. And doctors KNOW about vents. They had to know. They insisted upon their use to "shelve" infected patients and protect themselves. The MDs were scared. Sad.
Pthalocyanine(great name btw)… I worked at a hospital thruout Covid and many ICU doctors first instinct was to use the ventilator to “repair “ the underlying illness. It did not work. There are hospital protocols with employed ICU doctors(ie Dr.Kory). Many,like Dr. Kory, knew to change protocols and treatment options but were fired or disciplined.
Most patients in NY hospitals and nursing homes were killed by medical malpractice and neglect over the past 2 years. It continues to this day. Stay out of both places if you want to stay alive.
I agree. I could go on for a very long time. This has happened world wide because there is only the CDC “standard “ of how Covid patients are treated and anything else is not tolerated. This isn’t medicine. This whole thing has been criminal. Many have died from medical malpractice. Some would have died because of age and co-morbidities, but many could have been successfully treated and kept out of the hospital. I really hope the last 2 years has opened peoples eyes to the corruption taking hold in healthcare.
Yes, they were scared. I am nurse and I remember being shocked at how afraid they were. Many still are. They still go around wearing N95s all day. It is just ridiculous. Sadly, many nurses do the same. Many still give masks credit for reduced flu cases in the last 2 years and blame people for getting respiratory disease if they don’t wear masks. It is crazy and scary. One of the nurses told another nurse that she needs to wear her mask so she doesn’t pass on Covid and end up being responsible for her death. I used to be really proud to be a part of the medical profession. The longer I work in it, the more I wonder if we are doing more harm than good. It isn’t all bad, but many of the current new technologies and new medications are questionable. I also think it causes people to falsely believe that they don’t have to put any effort into their health. There is always a prescription or procedure or whatever that will fix everything.
‘Anyone who knows even a little Microbiology knows that viruses are unimaginably small and ubiquitous, and that neither lockdowns, masks nor testing could have ended viral transmission.’
Nothing could be more pragmatic. Viruses, germs, etc. are everywhere. That’s why we have an immune system!
Take care of your body, and it takes care of you, government be damned!
Another thing I remember from the very beginning was that all of a sudden no other death or illness mattered but WuFlu to those in power & those enthralled. When everyone obsessed solely about that, I kept thinking about & asking, “what about everyone dying from everything else?!” There was only one type of death that mattered, & sadly - because of the way the books were cooked from the beginning - we may never know the true numbers of those who died OF rather than WITH. I suspect the number is MUCH lower than the “1 million” Americans (or whatever the figure is today) dead OF WuFlu by an order of magnitude. And that the # of adverse outcomes (including death) are MUCH higher for the poison jab
I will never forget how I was treated for not going along with the LMTVs. Even now that the liberal college town where I get groceries finally lifted their mask mandate on March 4, I look at the 50% who finally unmasked and I think, "One month ago, you were all still wearing masks."
Two years of bullying, harassment, intimidation, denied service, and having the cops called on me by these vicious people. Nope, I will never forget. In fact, I expect it to return in some form under some excuse. They got away with it once for two years. It'll be back.
I’ve decided going forward if anyone asks me why one earth I didn’t take the experimental vaccine my answer will be, “because it was Trump’s vaccine.” Let me explain, I live in Seattle…do I need to say more about the demographics around here? Every person around here who seriously questions why someone hasn’t gotten the vaccine, clearly has a hard time with logic. So instead of saying, my immune system works, I’m healthy, 99.98% survival rate etc. (the logical things to say which they can’t grasp), I say it was “Tumps vaccine” and it shouldn’t be trusted. It will stump them every time because around here, they were all yelling form the rooftops that they would never take Trumps vaccine! It’s my reminder to them of what they once said and didn’t follow through. It really is amazing how people didn’t see through the bullshit we were fed. Very sad and beyond frustrating!
“Americans pay the high salaries of poorly-spoken individuals with zero integrity who directly and deeply damage our lives.”
If this was on a tshirt, I’d wear it.
This whole piece is solid. I, like you, also look at all the folks who are still masking and take a mental note. They can’t let it go because they would have to experience an ego death the likes of which they most likely have not experienced before.
You know, I read your work in Substack Mark and some others too and it all makes so much sense and I feel validated in my own thoughts and then I come to the world as it is and see we are just not there yet. The vast majority of people, in my world anyways, are still devoted to this big lie, the deception. Even on the very eve of the end of the mandates the people cling to the bullshit. It’s very dispiriting.
Keep chipping away at them. I turned my mom around and eventually got her to see reality. Sending her links to various articles and Substack posts helped. Video compilations of our technocrats flip flopping also helped.
Alex Jones has produced a couple of DVD’s called COVIDLand. They are both very good and easy for someone who is blue pilled to consume. RFK Jr’s book The Real Anthony Fauci requires a bigger commitment than one of the COVIDLand movies but for anyone willing to invest some time, that can be effective also.
Hey, Mick Jagger is still here too. Rush had a discussion on this when Mick had to have heart surgery. He went on and on about how, despite far more drug use/abuse, Keith was moving right along, while poor ol' Mick had to go under the knife.
These "elites," or what ever you want to call them, we all have our words for them, well they had better be running scared. And "staying on the porch" ain't an option for them.
Longevity is not always fairly distributed. Soros, Kissinger and a host of other vile characters seem to live far too long and leave massive destruction in their wake.
We can only hope, & yet, the worst of the worst - Clintons, Bidens, Obummers & their minions remain free, haughty, entitled & disdainful of the little people. Whence their comeuppance?!
Correct, you see the masked all over the place. Even in their car. I watched a masked couple walking yesterday on a trail. Nobody near them, obviously outdoors, not a cloud in the sky and a brisk 15 mph wind. Yet there they were wearing their masks. They were doing nothing less than making a political statement. However for the now majority of us who understand just how wrong these people were, they should have just wore a sign that said, "We are a couple of real dumbasses"!
A couple of days ago, the spouse and I stopped in at a busy working class cafe at lunchtime. Almost no one was wearing a mask, until a 6-person family walked in and half were maskholes, while the other half were not. (???)
I still cannot figure that out. Why would you be so programmed that you'd still be wearing masks even though half your own family is maskless? What the hell is with that?
I'll bet they only wear their masks for what they think are virtue signaling purposes. They see themselves as the best, and they don't care if anyone else does or not. The more that don't, the better. If only they knew what we think! "You are a couple of real dumbasses!"
Mark, I enjoy pretty much everything you write. Your themes and descriptions are very accessible, well-written, and timely. But this piece right here? It Fcking RESONATES. Outstanding work!
Thanks, Steve.
It sux that any of this has happened.
Agree.
All this time, I kept thinking, "surely my loved ones will figure this out soon and wake up, and stop condemning anyone who objects or doesn't comply." And it has not happened yet! The hardest thing to take has been the wide division between rational people and brainwashed but otherwise previously rational people. It's shocking and painful, like a death, when it happens to people close to you.
What has happened, though, is that since mask mandates have lifted and Omicron happened, they are no longer fearful of being in an enclosed space with unvaccinated people. So my social life is improving. I'm receiving invitations to carpool to various things, whereas before I was not invited, or I had to drive separately because of the dangers of riding in a car together, even masked.

As one of my loved ones said to me, "you can always choose to get the vaccine, you know...."
SMH
I'm done with the crazy people. They showed their colors.
And STILL showing them. Mask mandates were done since March ? (I stopped wearing one some time before, I was just done) and 1/2 my co workers ares still walking around masked. It’s a security blanket for one and a “can’t smell the booze on my breath” for the other…I got sober a decade too early!
Dani Richards.. I would rather be alone then take the jab or explain to anyone why I didn’t.
I hear you. What I've discovered during the pandemic is that I am more extroverted than I realized. Unfortunately, being alone feels like death to me.

Ugh...I'm doing a show in Chicago in June. Outdoors. I imagine they will be masked to the hilt. My nephew told me that part of Chicago is the worst.
Found a few like minded people, but not as close as the ones I lost to the brainwashing. Luckily I got animals, they never would believe all we are told. Animals are so much smarter.
The closeness was a feature of knowing them for so long, but when you start to evaluate the ‘friendships’, you come to see a different picture. If they were so great, accepting you regardless of your political and social differences, how were they so easily swayed, drank the Kool Aid, and come to see you and what you believe in and stand for, as the ‘enemy’ or a ‘nut job conspiracy theorist’’ or whatever else they may have thought about you?

Friends and family. We live in a different world. I resent them
ONe of them has a problem driving and asked me a few months ago to drive with me. I consented because of a 12 year old friendship. But I hardly recognize the person I once loved and admired. All I can see now, is the blindly following of a false narrative, the unquestioningly approving whatever the government proposed, the standing on 'I am the scientist' stance, without even looking into the business, and keeping on saying that masks, lock downs, shots, were 'for the greater good'. Well I prefer to be myself and think for myself. I even bought the Attkisson Tshirts and will wear them to go there one of these days LOL
I have looked at them in this manner and have found that it makes it much easier to, actually, be glad they're gone. Much less stressful.
yes, Ingrid. I agree. Kitties and pups do not buy into the bs. I love my kitties more than most people these days.
No lies there. They might try to lead you by the nose to get what they want, but never lie. True love!
I can relate. I live in the Bay area, California and most of the people around me, including all my friends and loved ones, don't question the narrative and are vaccinated. I am introverted and during the first year of covid, I enjoyed the time to myself. Then I really missed the contact with friends last year, and on top of that it's been quite painful to be targeted or have people be afraid of me because I'm not vaccinated. Luckily my stepsons and their family never thought twice about seeing me. 🙏💕 I reached out through the internet and found quite a wonderful unvaccinated community in the North Bay. These are new relationships, and take time to blossom. We have a dinner party every other week and have a great time together. I got my haircut yesterday and the hair salon requires masks for unvaccinated people, and my hairdresser wears a mask around only unvaccinated people. She has an unshakable belief that unvaccinated people are a greater threat to her than vaccinated. She's in her thirties and a little overweight. This type of thing still really hurts my feelings, but I was able to bring it up without too much charge. I can feel she is a wall that won't let any other information in. I told her that was the last time I will be getting a haircut from her. We have a business directory of unvaccinated people in my area and I found another hairdresser. So at least my hair will look nice as I'm carted off to the unvaccinated camps, or as we approach end times! 😅
As I was reading this I thought to myself…time to fire the hairdresser! Good for you! I live in San Diego and left my hairdresser of 20 plus years because of her fearful and Woke politics. After my last appointment last summer I never rescheduled with her. And I know she knows why.
Yes there are pockets of your new type of friends in Marin and Sonoma Counties and even in SF! I’ve met a number of them at a couple of Childrens Health Defense fundraisers that I attended in September of 2020 & 2021 in San Rafael! I’m so glad you found Your ‘Tribe’!
Thanks for your support. 😁 Ah, so you probably know Marsha and her husband... I forget his name, a lovely people, and a good group down in Marin. Their meet up down in Marin was one of the first ones I went to and made contacts from there up in Sonoma county.
I'm glad you found your tribe too, that's wonderful it's such a big group in San Diego! I looked up WOTRL on telegram, I'm not on facebook, but I didn't see any group information.
I have good friends (a couple) in Sebastopol who are like us. They are long time friends of over 40 years who didn’t drink the Kool aid and I still speak to them and visit them as least once a year.
I never met the hostess of the CHD events, just random people I spoke with. The Telegram page is listed as WRL.
Your tribe is out there! I live in Commifornia in San Diego. Through a Facebook group I found Warriors of the Radical Light (which was a term Christiane Northrup coined and these groups sprouted out of her daily talks on FB and Instagram she was doing before being kicked off). It is a group of like minded souls like you. There are groups all over the country but our group in San Diego is one of the largest with 70 people. I have met such wonderful people and mad me some great new friends. The Facebook WOTRL page Administrator is Pamela (not Lisa by the Sea which is a break off group from the the original WOTRL group) and she is also on Telegram as WRL. Put the word out…you WILL find your Tribe! 💓🙏🏻
Thank you. I appreciate this so much.
Fortunately I have a family that are freedom loving ‘Patriots’ and never bought the Scamdemic or Vaxx propaganda. I had a few former ‘longtime friendships’ that ‘bit the dust’ during Covid but that was ok..they were so delusional, bought the whole program and basically have their head in the sand. I also realized that these so called ‘friendships’ were all about them and not me. So I was basically not losing a lot, by not having them in my life anymore. My new friends are so much nicer, open minded, and extending of their love & friendship. And you only need a couple of new good people to share stuff with! 🙏🏼💓
I got thrown off of FB and as a result Instagram, which was really the only thing I did (all sewing, sewing groups, quilting, fabric, friends, fun, and silliness) but I said some "disinformation" on FB .... they won't tell me what the specific violation was. I asked several times. So, I was "suspended" and my accounts shut down. That was last November 2021. I grieved deeply about my sewing pals, but I refuse to start a new instagram account. Now, I am just keeping busy, and have more time. Oh well.
Move to florida as many parents have done in Order to provide in person and normal ( as much as can be expected from public schools) educational opportunities for their children. No crazy lefties need apply.....
Thank you for the encouragement 😘
introverts do have it easier. I have many introverted friends who are not experiencing lockdown loneliness. But each of us experiences this in our own way, and it's important to search for compassion, especially towards the brainwashed who are being tricked and used.
I heartily agree with you. I'm a "severe" introvert, and I had NO problem with not coming into physical contact with persons during two years of mostly tyrannical government-enforced solitude, due to my refusing to take an experimental jab that had a highly disturbing adverse reaction profile. I very much enjoyed my online contact with like-minded people, and substack has been a blessing -- truly an "embarrassment of riches".
Same
Similar shunning happened to me. I was playing with a small jazz group weekly and the other members refused to continue playing with me -- an unvaxxed untermenschen -- in "an enclosed space".
They colluded among themselves behind my back before throwing me to the curb. Two of them actually put the onus on their wives (that is, their proxy mommies) for the prohibition. Incredibly pathetic.
I pointed out that the killer vaxxes do not stop transmission, even according to the companies' own claims. It was like talking to a wall. These are educated people, one of them a professor at an Ivy League college.
This individual has a 16 year old daughter who it strongly appears has a heart condition as a result of the vaxx.
A friend and accomplished luthier from this area was clearly killed over a period of months post-vax. I confirmed this with his ex-spouse. Yet the public health authorities are still pushing boosters.
Make no mistake this is a mass killing agenda at work. It is also some sort of intelligence test for the human race.
What a disappointing and maddening action by your jazz group. The ones we least expect to be so domineering turn out to be the worse. Seems the higher the education (ivy league), the more their brains are smushed from any critical thinking.
Higher education: aka: higher amount of brainwashing. Lots of highly educated without an ounce of logic or discernment. Darwinism will be thinning the human herd, that’s for sure.
I lost a long time friend over this. She refused to visit after months of plans because I wasn’t boosted. When I said I wasn’t vaxed she lost it. Oh well, I’ve moved on. Don’t need that in my life. My older son tried to talk about my getting vaxed. I told him to never bring it up as I wasn’t going to. We remain close and never discuss this craziness.
The toll on relationships is hard. I was in a relationship when COVID hit, and when I refused to get jabbed, he broke things off. I know it's "good riddance," but after three years together, it is painful and as we know, unnecessary (based on falsehoods which divide people).
My children and I are similar; they are jabbed and we don't discuss it.
Oh my, I’m sure that hurt. Good riddance is same reaction I had, but doesn’t take away the disappointment and shock. So very unnecessary. I’m sorry you went through this and hope you find a much better person to be in your life that values your critical thinking.
I still routinely read comments from people on social media that the vaccines haven't caused one single death.
Concert promoters need to read this from
Steve Kirsch:
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/foo-fighters-drummer-taylor-hawkins?s=r
Just don’t support a venue or a band even if they were your FAVES since forever, if they require that crap!!!
Homoborgiensis is what has been made. My family, borg, stopped at 2 jabs. Me, unjabbed, had the illness 2019, am I still human, even legally? 'Hackable animals' says the devil, Harari. 'They know not what they do', says O'Looney the mortician. Look up your local WEF chapter and feel free to contact the members. Portland OR has one. Fear has many faces online.
Never forget.
Especially that former friend who is a microbiologist and should know better than to believe the crap. But they did.
And yet...how many of those people were the SAME people who wailed from the treetops that NO F'ING WAY will they take a vaxx that Trump had anything to do with.
They are intellectually dishonest and they are mentally ill.
They are Leftists.
Exactly!! Especially Kamala on video saying this. Hypocrites!
none of the bureaucrats, media, politicians, and "medical professionals" that foisted this disaster should be allowed to get away with it. They need to be in prison or worse. We cannot forget.
And not in a country club style prison either. Many should get a life sentence without parole. Others should be sentenced to death.
Many have suffered adverse effects, including death, from the covid "vaccines". The warning signals are in VAERS. Heck, VAERS is like a flashing red light now. Anyone that questions the shots or has a different opinion about them is censored.
I really would love to see a tally of the losses that we have suffered globally, from missed/delayed cancer/other diagnoses that led to death, to declined mental health, to businesses lost, to removing effectively a full year of education from the generation in schools, to broad global issues such as the U.N. World Food Programme’s Chief Economist warning that an extra 130 million people went hungry annually ... and the CDC estimated in mid-2021 that US children and teens received almost 12 million fewer PROVEN vaccine doses (measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus).
Also, drug overdoses and the true effects on our military. Saw the following post by Robyn Openshaw on her Telegram:
"Mat Staver, lead attorney for Liberty Council with over 100 affiliated lawyers around the US told me this morning that more military personnel have died of the injection (as well as suicide because of their illnesses and desperation and losing their jobs) in America than all of the covid deaths in America for 2 years."
Great additions, thank you. And there are more.
Incredible. Humans, mostly male, but sadly many female as well, are capable of great cruelty.
"DO NO HARM!"
This is the Hippocratic Oath.
Doctors have become demons. It's the only explanation I can see......
And believe it or not, the child/infant death rate actually dropped during those two years of proven (whatever that is) vaccination decreases. I believe someone also reported via substack that autism rates also dropped.
SIDS nearly vanished during the lockdowns.
Vaccines are killing many more than they save.
Maybe more people will start to figure this out.
While I too know of the millions pushed closer to starvation and extreme poverty by the criminal covid Cabal, often unrecognized or thought of by so many, I think you need to reconsider the "safety and efficacy" of the 72 fully indemnified and highly toxic vaccines on the current CDC reccommended schedule.
Read up on the Vaxxed vs Unvaxxed survey done by the Control Group for their litigation.
Look at the Lazarus study of Harvard's Pilgrim Health an which concluded that only 1% - 10% of vaccine injuries make it into VAERS, or read either the Guinea-Bissau study, showing that little girls died at higher rates if vaccinated than if not, or James Lyons Weiler's peer reviewed paper on Dr. Paul Thomas's pediatric practice which showed that the unvaccinated were much more healthy than the vaccinated.
We have been lied to about vaccines for a very, very, very long time, indeed.
The Pfizer bots on Twitter claim that VAERS is completely unreliable, to which the response should always be, "Yes that's true; it is only reporting about 10% (or less) of the actual injuries and deaths."
If vaers is so unreliable why doesn't pfizer develop and use its own tracking system. Oh that's right they told the FDA they didn't want to because vaers was good enough. Asses.
No. Devilishly smart. The more diseased people on Earth the more money for Pfizer!
I hear that from people all of the time. They say that anyone can make a report and that the reports are not verified. I ask them if they've ever bothered to read any of the reports on VAERS. Many of the reports are submitted by healthcare providers. Can read reports at: https://openvaers.com/covid-data/covid-reports
Also, this is on the site when someone completes a VAERS report the site states,
"Knowingly filing a false VAERS report is a violation of Federal law (18 U.S. Code § 1001) punishable by fine and imprisonment" so I don't think people are completing the reports as a mistruth. https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html
Also, copied from the VAERS site:
What happens after a report is submitted
Each VAERS report is assigned a VAERS identification number. This number can be used to provide additional information about the report to VAERS, if necessary. VAERS will send the identification number to the reporting individual in a confirmation letter (electronically or by mail, depending on communications preferences listed on the original report).
Other than the confirmation letter, VAERS will only reach out to the reporting individual for additional information if “essential fields” of the VAERS form are not filled out. VAERS will not contact the reporting individual by phone for follow-up. Additional information requests are sent electronically or by mail and will explain what information is missing from the report and how the reporter can update it.
The VAERS program follows up on reports classified as serious by attempting to obtain medical records to better understand the event. These requests for medical records are made directly to health institutions or public health authorities that create and maintain medical records. The medical records are added to the permanent record under the VAERS ID, compliant with privacy standards.
The idiots who make claims about people making stuff up on VAERS are just that, idiots.
Daniel Horowitz has talked a lot about this because he knows docs who have explained the process to him.
• It requires detailed knowledge to be able to complete the form. Most laypeople wouldn't know what to submit.
•Since the government (CDC and/or FDA) reviews all submissions, they delete anything that looks like it's just made up info.
• The submission process takes a doc about 2 hours to complete. Most docs don't have time to enter that info so they don't even try.
• The form often crashes while entering the data and the person doing the submission has to start over again. One more reason that healthcare providers don't enter the injuries or deaths into the system.
• Doctors are reprimanded or even penalized for submitting reports to VAERS.
• As you said, it is illegal to falsify a VAERS report. And you can bet that they go after people who do.
Outstanding presentation Mark, beautifully spoken for so many of us. Thank you!
Thanks, Marta. It's both pleasing and sad to be saying what other people are thinking about this phony crisis.
Would anyone who likes this please Like it. I think Substack puts it in front of more people if it has more Likes.
Thanks. And do something you like to do every day.
This is FABULOUS! I knew the experts were wrong from the start, not because I'm a questioner necessarily, but because I am an OCD hypochondriac. As such, I knew way more than a normal person about viruses. From February 2020 on nothing made sense, based on what I knew to be true about coronaviruses. It never once added up. And doctors KNOW about vents. They had to know. They insisted upon their use to "shelve" infected patients and protect themselves. The MDs were scared. Sad.
Pthalocyanine(great name btw)… I worked at a hospital thruout Covid and many ICU doctors first instinct was to use the ventilator to “repair “ the underlying illness. It did not work. There are hospital protocols with employed ICU doctors(ie Dr.Kory). Many,like Dr. Kory, knew to change protocols and treatment options but were fired or disciplined.
The part I don’t get is the oath you took once you realize the truth. Many factors involved but I couldn’t live with myself personally.
Most patients in NY hospitals and nursing homes were killed by medical malpractice and neglect over the past 2 years. It continues to this day. Stay out of both places if you want to stay alive.
I agree. I could go on for a very long time. This has happened world wide because there is only the CDC “standard “ of how Covid patients are treated and anything else is not tolerated. This isn’t medicine. This whole thing has been criminal. Many have died from medical malpractice. Some would have died because of age and co-morbidities, but many could have been successfully treated and kept out of the hospital. I really hope the last 2 years has opened peoples eyes to the corruption taking hold in healthcare.
Yes, they were scared. I am nurse and I remember being shocked at how afraid they were. Many still are. They still go around wearing N95s all day. It is just ridiculous. Sadly, many nurses do the same. Many still give masks credit for reduced flu cases in the last 2 years and blame people for getting respiratory disease if they don’t wear masks. It is crazy and scary. One of the nurses told another nurse that she needs to wear her mask so she doesn’t pass on Covid and end up being responsible for her death. I used to be really proud to be a part of the medical profession. The longer I work in it, the more I wonder if we are doing more harm than good. It isn’t all bad, but many of the current new technologies and new medications are questionable. I also think it causes people to falsely believe that they don’t have to put any effort into their health. There is always a prescription or procedure or whatever that will fix everything.
Our medical professionals are moralizing over people getting SICK. think about it! that is so twisted. they need to just retire from medicine.
CGL .. so true, all the way around!
Remember how ...
Oh ya. I remember... and I won't forget... and sure as shit, I will NEVER forgive.
This portion of the piece sums it up.
‘Anyone who knows even a little Microbiology knows that viruses are unimaginably small and ubiquitous, and that neither lockdowns, masks nor testing could have ended viral transmission.’
Nothing could be more pragmatic. Viruses, germs, etc. are everywhere. That’s why we have an immune system!
Take care of your body, and it takes care of you, government be damned!
And Fauci too!
Another thing I remember from the very beginning was that all of a sudden no other death or illness mattered but WuFlu to those in power & those enthralled. When everyone obsessed solely about that, I kept thinking about & asking, “what about everyone dying from everything else?!” There was only one type of death that mattered, & sadly - because of the way the books were cooked from the beginning - we may never know the true numbers of those who died OF rather than WITH. I suspect the number is MUCH lower than the “1 million” Americans (or whatever the figure is today) dead OF WuFlu by an order of magnitude. And that the # of adverse outcomes (including death) are MUCH higher for the poison jab
I will never forget how I was treated for not going along with the LMTVs. Even now that the liberal college town where I get groceries finally lifted their mask mandate on March 4, I look at the 50% who finally unmasked and I think, "One month ago, you were all still wearing masks."
Two years of bullying, harassment, intimidation, denied service, and having the cops called on me by these vicious people. Nope, I will never forget. In fact, I expect it to return in some form under some excuse. They got away with it once for two years. It'll be back.
I’ve decided going forward if anyone asks me why one earth I didn’t take the experimental vaccine my answer will be, “because it was Trump’s vaccine.” Let me explain, I live in Seattle…do I need to say more about the demographics around here? Every person around here who seriously questions why someone hasn’t gotten the vaccine, clearly has a hard time with logic. So instead of saying, my immune system works, I’m healthy, 99.98% survival rate etc. (the logical things to say which they can’t grasp), I say it was “Tumps vaccine” and it shouldn’t be trusted. It will stump them every time because around here, they were all yelling form the rooftops that they would never take Trumps vaccine! It’s my reminder to them of what they once said and didn’t follow through. It really is amazing how people didn’t see through the bullshit we were fed. Very sad and beyond frustrating!
I love it! Great response to the covidiots.
“Americans pay the high salaries of poorly-spoken individuals with zero integrity who directly and deeply damage our lives.”
If this was on a tshirt, I’d wear it.
This whole piece is solid. I, like you, also look at all the folks who are still masking and take a mental note. They can’t let it go because they would have to experience an ego death the likes of which they most likely have not experienced before.
Thanks, Visceral.
That would have to be a big t-shirt. XXXL.
Exactly! Mark’s sentence you quoted is spot-on and never more obvious than now.
AGREE with your last sentence wholeheartedly - very well-put!
Mark enjoy your writings very much. You have the uncanny ability to walk one through a story as if we were there. Very insightful as always😊thank you.
Completely agree. Mark should have a syndicated column (if those still exist).
This is great work.
Thanks, Howard and Brandon.
I sure wish I never had a reason to write any of these.
I suspect there will reasons for keep writing, sadly.
You know, I read your work in Substack Mark and some others too and it all makes so much sense and I feel validated in my own thoughts and then I come to the world as it is and see we are just not there yet. The vast majority of people, in my world anyways, are still devoted to this big lie, the deception. Even on the very eve of the end of the mandates the people cling to the bullshit. It’s very dispiriting.
Keep chipping away at them. I turned my mom around and eventually got her to see reality. Sending her links to various articles and Substack posts helped. Video compilations of our technocrats flip flopping also helped.
Alex Jones has produced a couple of DVD’s called COVIDLand. They are both very good and easy for someone who is blue pilled to consume. RFK Jr’s book The Real Anthony Fauci requires a bigger commitment than one of the COVIDLand movies but for anyone willing to invest some time, that can be effective also.
Hey, Mick Jagger is still here too. Rush had a discussion on this when Mick had to have heart surgery. He went on and on about how, despite far more drug use/abuse, Keith was moving right along, while poor ol' Mick had to go under the knife.
These "elites," or what ever you want to call them, we all have our words for them, well they had better be running scared. And "staying on the porch" ain't an option for them.
"We'll be seeing you, you MFers, yes we will."

I’m with you Edwin. We need to the storm.
Longevity is not always fairly distributed. Soros, Kissinger and a host of other vile characters seem to live far too long and leave massive destruction in their wake.
Howard J , I was thinking 🤔 the same thing.
Hey guys!
Do you want to live forever?
Hell no, I want my granddaughters to live forever!
Heaven works for me!
Just let me know. LETS DO THIS!
See my newsletter(s).

We can only hope, & yet, the worst of the worst - Clintons, Bidens, Obummers & their minions remain free, haughty, entitled & disdainful of the little people. Whence their comeuppance?!
If we can't deal with them on Earth, God will deal with them for eternity.
God won't have to deal with them. They've already sold their souls to the devil or they are demons...or worse.
Correct, you see the masked all over the place. Even in their car. I watched a masked couple walking yesterday on a trail. Nobody near them, obviously outdoors, not a cloud in the sky and a brisk 15 mph wind. Yet there they were wearing their masks. They were doing nothing less than making a political statement. However for the now majority of us who understand just how wrong these people were, they should have just wore a sign that said, "We are a couple of real dumbasses"!
A couple of days ago, the spouse and I stopped in at a busy working class cafe at lunchtime. Almost no one was wearing a mask, until a 6-person family walked in and half were maskholes, while the other half were not. (???)
I still cannot figure that out. Why would you be so programmed that you'd still be wearing masks even though half your own family is maskless? What the hell is with that?
I'll bet they only wear their masks for what they think are virtue signaling purposes. They see themselves as the best, and they don't care if anyone else does or not. The more that don't, the better. If only they knew what we think! "You are a couple of real dumbasses!"
You are correct sir!
When you figure that out, let us all know. I have seen this same dynamic.
Spot on Mark! Thank you for your honesty and common sense!
