Dear Readers: In May, 2020, I started writing stories about Coronamania. Until now, I hadn’t written about the beginning of the craziness; I was focused on the present. I’m interested in your Corona stories, generally, and especially stories about those first few days, weeks or months. If you wish to share these but don’t want to do so in the Comments, you can e-mail these to me at forecheck32 at gmail. Thanks.
I’m so grateful to have come across you mr mark. I live in northern New Jersey. It was obvious to me in April 2020 that this virus was not very dangerous to the vast majority of people in the country. I’ve had some trials and stressors in my life that I consider way more challenging than this whole Covid episode. And I decided early on that I would not be afraid. I never stop going out and going places. I got into fights and arguments over mask wearing. I was physically assaulted and physically removed from a few places for not wearing a mask.
I never got the vaccine and I refuse to allow my children to get it.
I’m a physician and I was absolutely shocked and astounded at the willful ignorance and cowardice of most of my medical colleagues. Some of us, a very small group, understood the other absurdity of all of this and have fought back as best we can. It’s been so exhausting.
Being in Florida, I never lived it, I WATCHED IT!I instinctively called Bullshit on March 20, 2020 while at a Restaurant dining, DeSantis shut the State down, we were given plastic cups and foam take out containers, told to pack up and get out! We never paid the bill, it was like a zombie apocalypse! Fortunately by May 5 our awesome Governor ended the nonsense and Opened back up. I have watched the Psy Op with astonishment! My healthcare background has led me to research everything I could get my hands on. My family in NY are all triple jabbed living like hermits, I’ve lost a lot of respect for so many people that are just down right stupid lacking any critical thinking skills. So many people just handed their lives over to the government. Fascinating!!
The whole charade was a criminal event. I'm still pissed off about it and I want to see those responsible behind bars. It’s the kids that I feel for the most.
there are so many horrible things about the past two years, but I wanted to mention what I have experienced to be the worst thing: the menticide of my loved ones (family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, community members). Relationships are so broken, and I am so sad at the loss, and witnessing the damage to their minds.
This has been like a slow-walked horror movie. I can feel the screams forming in my throat, and I can't quite get them out. I mean, I want to find some way to STOP my loved ones going over the cliff..... you see, no one has actually died yet. But from all I've learned of the dangers of these shots, I just have to wonder if they are all "dead men walking." I don't know. And I can't talk to them because they can't hear me. They are all jabbed, jabbed, and jabbed. And now, soon to be jabbed again. And again.
I actually read a Washington Post op-ed article a couple days ago to do with how the anti-vaxxers have all been brainwashed, and how the smart (Washington Post reader types) people should think about and act towards them. My heart sank, because I could see that ALL of the possible, intricate debunking counterarguments have already been placed neatly into my loved ones' poisoned minds.... as a programmed defense to counteract anything I could possible say (or scream) at them.
But going back to your question: at the start of this, my background being natural health and also with some prior knowledge of hypnotism/propaganda, I had absolute confidence in our innate immune systems' ability to handle any naturally-occurring virus, with proper support. However, I immediately wondered if it was a bioweapon. That sort of thing -- I wondered if we should fear.
Why did my mind jump to that? You know. There was something fishy in the way this was portrayed by the media and by the elected officials/public policy experts. It just didn't add up. You know how you can tell that you are not being told the entire truth about something -- lying by omission? It was that type of feeling that I couldn't shake.
But everyone I know trusts experts and doctors, and when they were told that this was a "novel" virus (implying that our bodies' immune systems have no possible way of handling it and we are all GONNA DIE) -- the panic and shock was swift and I could see the surreality of everyone I knew experiencing "fight, flight or freeze in place" paralyzing fear.
I wish I knew how to break through the spell they are all under. I miss them.
I now get excited when I see you've written another article. Thanks Mark. I'll write to you via Gmail. I will say though that the crowning bit of idiocy of 2020, for me, was that the beaches where we live in Maryland's Eastern Shore were "locked down" from some time in spring to the end of the year. But not just the ocean beaches. All the river beaches in my county on the Bayside too. Because some NJ families came down one weekend and had a good time and didn't mask or "socially" distance on the beach. Meanwhile, you could shop at Walmart.
This will make my blood boil for the rest of my life.
No one but Mark could have stated it better. I posted this before; perhaps here but it's worth another post. The epiphany for me came early on in this charade; I wasn't sure what to believe about the soaring death count. I grew up in the midst of the Viet Nam war; a friend asked me if I knew anyone that died in that war - remember, it was 58,000. I did; several in fact. Then he asked if I knew anyone that died of covid - at that time the count was in the hundreds of thousands. I did not. Case closed. I was very fortunate to have stumbled upon a video of Dr. Zelenkov - you know, the crazy lunatic who said early treatment with readily available over the counter products could minimize or even prevent covid. Started that protocol daily in early 2020 - despite being in a "high risk" category, and despite being around a number of covid infected, and despite ignoring the mask mandates - to this day, still have not contracted the virus. As Dr. Malone and others have said: This is the greatest fraud in world history.
Great article. It should be used as a history lesson in every school. I became skeptical of the corona response with the lock down of everyone, including the healthy. I remember saying why must the healthy quarantine? It made no sense. Then in my very small town, they asked people to volunteer to sew masks for the healthcare workers. Wanting to do my part I volunteered. I knew the size of the virus and I knew the size of my needle. It was like clown world, I thought , I’m literally putting holes in the fabric…how is this going to keep a virus out? Everything after that has reinforced my clown world attitude. I trust almost no one, especially those in the medical field and the government who fell for this nonsense. I began to see my doctor in a new light, instead of my personal medical advocate I began to see her as a pill pusher and someone trying to get me hooked into the lifelong pharma racket. She has for many years tried to get me to take cholesterol and high blood pressure (HBP) meds. I told her to prove to me there was damage being done. I knew they had lowered the numbers that constitute HBP to gain millions of new lifelong HBP patients which meant more doctor visits, more tests, and of course lifelong meds. I also knew that not all high cholesterol causes plaque. I paid for the tests and was proven right. I’m 62 and intend of living as long as I can pharma free.
"Simplistic, reductionist, gullible masses." That about sums it up. The nature of our species is depressing. Unlike yourself, I started by complying with the mitigation measures, but then realized something was wrong after a few masked dog walking conversations with an RN neighbor who said she was not overwhelmed at the hospital. In fact, they had laid her off. I got the shots in early '21' and am now working with a functional medicine practitioner to try and get the residual spike proteins OUT of my system. God only knows what they will do to us over the next 20 years. I think the WEF is just getting warmed up. I suspect this was a drill for the future. They've proven they can make us afraid of anything. Police, warmer weather, Russians, Republicans, Cllmate and Vaxx deniers, the list goes on. For as long as I live, I will not allow myself to be sheared ever again. Fool me once...
So I lived through the HIV epidemic in the 80's and the Scamdemic. HIV was arguably much more deadly to young people. It took us years to isolate the virus and a decade plus for effective treatment. But we didn't have alot of panic or fear driving all these government mandates. Yet - I am left wondering how is it that this Coronavirus response that we did was so unscientific? So not evidence based?
The only real answer I can come up with is the real difference is the Federal governments intrusion into our lives. They have essentially Federalized the health systems with Obama Care. So they can mandate how hospitals are paid. Few people realize that when Medicare says all of your employees have to be vaccinated or we won't pay ....that means the hospital loses 50% + of its revenue. They have no choice but to jab employees or they have to close the doors.
Having the president of the U.S. - make healthcare decisions for 300 million Americans is ridiculous and its been disastrous for our country and for healthcare. This is what happens when the government steps in - you get a politicized disease, like a politicized war -- say Afghanistan?

Excellent recap, Mark.....what I would have appreciated, early on, would have been a panel discussion (aka, professionally moderated debate) with Fauci, Birx, McCullough, Atlas, Barrington authors, et al.....
Given the heat of the issue at the time, this would have drawn a Superbowl comparable audience and would have provided excellent 'food for thought' for all of us. It soon became clear that 'facts & data' were NOT! desired.
Fearmongering was the national theme. What astonished me was how quickly and easily the mass population just followed along. I now believe this Covid-chaos was a trial run at whipping society into a pathetic frenzy, based on FEAR!
A retired pharmacist with 38 years a community experience, I already knew about mRNA vaccines and the cluster they caused multiple times. I thought the lockdowns stupid, I said "We should have Ivermectin/Z-Pak/Zinc/Vit. D treatment/preventative paks in every checkout lane in America for a tax deductible $5 at the end of the "two weeks."
You know, the toughest part about the "two weeks to flatten the curve" are the first 6 months.
But I didn't see this for what it really was until I actually researched their vaccines after hearing "mRNA" on some radio interview.
I concluded then that this was a bioweapon deployment and advised everyone I knew to avoid the shot, lest you will end up like the chickens slaughtered, or worse, like the other chickens, "on a dinner plate."
“Coronamania”, I like term, and loved the brief history review. Coronamania is a story of demon squad world controllers, high functioning dark-triad types, and an army of useful idiots “manufacturing consent” by way of corrupt amplifiers in BigTech, BigMedia, and BigGov.

I photograph newborn babies and their families, and I started my business eight weeks before the beginning of Covid craziness. You can probably guess how that turned out. It was an incredibly stressful time as I had to quickly pivot to start a second business that could be done from home. I'm nowhere near recovered financially and not sure I ever will (I'm 61). I'm naturally skeptical so I figured out pretty quickly that there was much more to the Covid story than the official news coming from the MSM. To my shock and disbelief, I watched my very intelligent son (two master's degrees), daughter, and son-in-law swallow the whole narrative without question. In an attempt to dissuade my daughter from boostering (for a vacation!) I apparently over-stepped a boundary and she is no longer speaking to me after saying some incredibly hurtful things. Heartbroken at the relationship damage this plandemic has caused in my family and many others. I'm grateful to have found your substack, Mark, as I've read through all the comments on your posts and take comfort in realizing I'm not alone.
This has shown me what hyper obedience means, control and death. Obedience without question is the stuff of madness. Whenever the people all go to 'one side of the boat', I go to the other. Been labelled defiant, difficult, crazy, odd, peasant, that bitch and worse. I just don't fit, and now I only long to get with people who are more like me, questioning and unwhacksinnated.
At least you are all here online, and I treasure knowing this. It makes my day, every day, to know you are here.

Thank you Mark. Once again great article.
The thing that still blows my mind is why are smart people unwilling to look at data that blows “the narrative” out of the water?
The lack of curiosity and critical thinking through this whole thing has been super depressing and frustrating at the same time.
I have a sister who I barely speak to now who I am sure will line up for the 4th jab.
She considers herself immunocompromised.
We both have auto immune diseases. I have treated mine homeopathically and have faired much better.
Western medicine and auto immune treatment is like throwing a blunt axe against the wall.
This has shown me what hyper obedience means, control and death. Obedience without question is the stuff of madness. Whenever the people all go to 'one side of the boat', I go to the other.
