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.
Thanks, Mi. I have enjoyed speaking with you and know you'll keep fighting.
I ask anyone who likes this to please "Like" the story. I think Substack gives Liked stuff better product placement, thus enabling more people to read it.
Mark, you're brilliant. I just wish I could do transplant your elegant reasoning ability into my brain. As I mentioned in earlier comments, I'll just have to commit key passages to memory so that I don't sputter incoherently as I often do when verbally challenged.
MiFly, I also am an unvaxxed physician. It’s been maddening. Insanity, whatever you want to call it. I chose to retire but the residency program needed an attending to teach and fill in some shifts as a hospitalist/ laborist. I was told to get a religious exemption, which I did. Interesting 🧐 right ? Pick and choose is what they do when it’s good for them. I am glad I’m there to watch the coronamania from the inside out, I would have never believed the bullshit that swirls around me. If I wrote a book, it would be published under sci fi. All I can say we are a minority. I probably will get called into the principal’s office for my comments on substack and cancelled, but that’s ok. I will turn my attention on Tik Tok and be 60 yr old fitness influencer!🥳
Some of us physicians have fought this since the beginning. Masking was always clearly a fraud...those facts have been well known for 100 years. Same with antisocial distancing. The Spikeshot was a mostly-bad learning experience unless you were vulnerable and old. But the mandates about it were always unforgivable. Patients should ALWAYS be able to make informed decisions, even when they are ones you believe are wrong.
I have always maintained that my primary obligation is to my patients and to no one else -- not licensing board, not specialty board, no one. I created pages of talking points and never hesitated to pull them out and use them with administration and peers. They got tired of having me do it, frankly. Eventually, other than calls to "authority" (I have a long earned reputation for thinking very little of authority but being a decent doc) it turns out those on the other side had no arguments. So as long as I didn't get THEM in trouble, I have mostly been left alone.
I have yet to have worn a mask except in the OR (where it really does not do anything, either, but one has to pick one's battles and I am not a surgeon) although I confess to carrying it in my hand and waving it six times (and then putting it back in my pocket...lol). I have always advised those under 60 (unless special circumstances -- every person is their own science experiment I have always said) to avoid the Spikeshots and many have. Giving the Spikeshot to children remains on my Nuremberg list.
If one is going to be a good physician, the idea of work/life balance is inapplicable. Your work is your life, and other things then fall into place. Because health care is so complex and every patient is different, good physicians serve only their patients...everyone else be damned. And (tempting as it might be...lol) Pfizer has not offered me $1M to shut up like they have some other more prominent physician contra-voices.
So I suppose I will just keep doing what I have been. There are more of us out there than one thinks...most of us just do not make much noise...our duty is to our patients first and if we can cover that, we have done much of what we were meant to do.
God bless you! We need more like you in the profession. I've basically given up on going to the doctor unless I'm bleeding profusely, or a bone is sticking out of the skin.
I'm 75 years old. I've never had the covid shots, and I never will. Whether or not I might personally benefit from them (and I very much doubt that), I think it is more important for me to not add myself to the statistics of people who take the shot and thereby increase the social pressure on others.
If I die as a result, well, we all have to die some time, and resisting the tyranny is a cause well worth dying for.
I would have thought there would be more independent thinking oldsters, but it seems virtually all the 65+ I know or meet did what they were told. Thank you for taking a stand!
I thank the Lord for the good doctors, and there have been some real heros that have come out of this. Both those in the public eye and those behind the scenes such as yourself. At least now we know where people stand. You never really do until hard times that call for courage.
Before, I would have thought there would be more courageous docs. I was wrong, but at least there are some or the toll would have been even worse.
It is fine with me if it is fine with Mark. A lot of us have always tried to do the right thing. Not all of us are adept at making noise about it -- wish we were.
Same here. Went to doc with a rash in June 2020 and should have come back end of that year. Doc was wrong about the rash, keeping away from them much as I can! Have been doctoring myself with herbs and homeopathic for 45 years with good results.
Thank you. The failure of both establishment and rank and file medicine to treat patients, save lives and generally stand up for the health and rights of their patients and the public is the worst aspect of this whole tragedy.
when there was no more informed consent; when 'do no harm' was washed away with toxic hand sanitizer; when my masklessness was going to kill an old person; when we had to learn zooming for work and study; when liquor stores were allowed to stay open 7 days a week, but public libraries and parcs were closed, that's when we knew it was a world-wide corrupt and manufactured powergrab. no more next boosters for out-dated strains, long overtaken by newer ones.... let's now concentrate on the healing process.
My husband has been a logger for his whole adult life. Most dangerous job in the world. He has never gone to the doctor for a cold and we weren't about to spend one moment being scared of it. From the beginning I thought this was all accelerated by people who have never known risk or hardship and wanted to create some.
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!!
I agree! Also in Florida (thank God for Ron DeSantis), and I do give a pass to government officials, journalists and citizens in general for a limited time window – there was so little information available early. Within 6-8 weeks, with enough reading and research, and a dash of critical thinking, you could read the control-fueled overreach in its all-capital-letter glory. I predicted that the vaccines were going to evolve into a lifetime revenue stream of boosters the minute reports of waning efficacy surfaced. It's staggering to read about the ongoing paranoia even now – some people truly will submit and live the rest of their lives under this hammer.
Glad to say that one of my needle happy friends recently converted. Noticing how every time a holiday comes up the government finds a new variant.. decided to have a large family party. I congratulated him and am happy for him. Hope he does not booster again.
Unfortunately what will wake some up is adverse effects on themselves and family members. It’s really sad that’s the only thing. I think we’re about to see it. I’m already seeing small increases.
I live in commiefornia (Bay Area too), and its still the same here. People drive in their cars, by themselves, with masks on. I've almost lost friends because I don't want to take the clot shot because they are scared of for their children, even though i've provided scientific evidence that the shot wasn't stopping Delta (per the Lancet for goodness sake) and then Omicron happened which blew it out of the water anyway (!!!). Still, they freaked out. Now one thinks her son, who she isolated to the point of madness over the past two years, got covid during the 2 weeks she let him back into school. She pulled him due to accessive vomiting. He ended up with a diagnosis of POTS. He had been shot with the vax a few weeks before, which was the impetus of allowing him back into school. She was confused when I talked to her about how he got Covid: but he must have because that is what his Doc said happened! I cried so hard when we got off the phone. That poor 11 year old will be on medication for the rest of his life now because of her/our society's willful ignorance and the government's goal serfdom.
Medication and worse. They will intubate POTs patients for feeding and meds. Cool for munchies who push this stuff on TikTok, not cool for children who need their lives
DeSantis still fell for it, hook, line and sinker, and for that, he should never be forgiven. Anyone who would ever compromise fundamental rights and civil liberties, whatever the circumstances, can't be trusted. No one has, had or could have had the authority to do what he and everyone else did. Fear of the coof and fear for his political future (I must do something, even if it is the wrong thing!) is never a substitute for good judgement. He failed the test of liberty - you can find someone better to lead your state.
I beg to differ. If only we could find better leaders! In the meantime I'll take a DeSantis all day long. I think he did what he thought he had to do and then quickly realized the mistake.
I think so too. Both DeSantis and Kemp here in GA only gave in because of the enormous pressure, and reopened after a few weeks, getting pointed as killers. Not so. At least we had somewhat of a life!
I don' t trust him either LOL. He is a politician. But he did a good job as governor. And we are very happy we did not have Abrams, because she would have locked down Georgia into oblivion, my friends with small businesses would be sitting on street corners singing and sleeping under a bridge, and we would have all been death-jabbed. I hope he stays on. I don't want Abrams, and I certainly don't want Perdue.
I also beg to differ! I won’t waste key strokes, Mary C is correct!
He reacted very quickly! My husband just visited our home in NY, they are still driving around with masks on! I’m not sure they will ever catch up to Florida… where we live Free.
Your insane. He may have went along in the beginning, but by may2020 he realized the error of his ways and lifted mandates. He then made sure to put in place legislative solutions, not executive orders. He got bills passed that protect freedom for people. When certain areas of the state defied his laws, he withheld funds and threatened lawsuits and they fell in line. I’ll take Desantis all day every day. Not sure where you’re from, but if it’s been better than it is down here in Florida, I’d like to visit it.
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.
Mask mandates for kids are finally over (actually end 4/2 kids currently on spring break) and then I receive this email from my nine year old twins teacher.
Hello Families,
As masking mandates seem to be coming to an end, I have a request for you. My mother has cancer and is undergoing treatment. She lives in my home. I am requesting that you have your child continue to wear their mask when in the classroom. I cannot legally require it, but I hope that you will respect the deep concern I have for my mother's health.
I am sorry to hear about your mother. Best wishes for her recovery.
My daughter Petunia is unable to wear a mask as it interferes with her breathing. However, if masks prevent infection, I'm confident that your mask while in your mother's presence will keep her safe.
My daughter Petunia is unable to wear a mask because she never should have been wearing one in the first place. However, if you are truly concerned, I think you should invest in a medical grade PAPR device. As this is the only device that can actually help mitigate the spread of airborne pathogens.
Seriously so sorry about mom's cancer. Perhaps the daughter should stop working to prevent this confusing circumstance. Seriously. Masks are not all that. Even the N95.
Speaking of bubbles, my son as a teenager was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Reference "Bubble Boy." The treatment was a 4 day in-hospital course of an infusion that tanked his blood levels completely with the goal of them rebuilding. He couldn't be discharged until they all were at a safe level. He was in a sterile room, all stainless steel. He was on a special diet - no fresh fruits or uncooked vegetables - all from the hospital, nothing brought from outside, because any bacteria could have killed him. We had to follow that diet for weeks after his discharge. And this was during flu season. NO ONE WORE MASKS! Not us, his parents. Not the numerous doctors and nurses that came into his room. Not even the janitor who emptied the garbage. So I KNEW from experience the masks during covid was total bullshit.
wow, what an experience, Dee. I am sure that was quite an ordeal.
Yes, this entire past ..... 6+ years has been a charade of leftist hate. They are like angry monsters. It has been much like watching toddler tantrums.
do not comply, since it's her risk, not yours and absolutely not the children's. makes one wonder who or what she will blame when her mother will become even more sick. be well, GB
how will you respond? Good grief. I really feel for the parents of young children being subjected to this damaging anti-science nonsense and being fed incorrect information, guilted into doing stupid charades..... similar nonsense going on where I live with "please wear your mask out of courtesy for others who might be immunocompromised." LIES!!!!!! So sorry the children are being victimized by frightened or well-meaning, brainwashed but ill-informed adults (people in authority).
If one felt the need to explain further, one could add a statement along these lines: "While I sympathize for your mother and pray she recovers, you are out of line to ask that your students behave as though they are potential 'disease vectors' and place any of the burden of your mother's condition upon them. Take what precautions you feel you must, but my child will not participate in same. If you press this matter in the classroom or with your administration, I will advocate against your doing so with your administration or in public as I see fit."
That is a great question. I will take my time and rehearse my response. Then I will likely come in and talk to the principal on Monday.
I already told the principal the problem with the notion that masks somehow mitigate the spread of a virus. I explained how we are putting truly at-risk individuals in harm's way by giving them an idea that masks somehow help. It fell on deaf ears. They are like zombies. They cannot consider anyone in their tribe could possible be wrong about something. If someone says stay home to protect others they put the stay home badge on their profile pic. If someone says we support Ukraine they put a we support Ukraine badge up. It’s absolutely insane. Many of these people are mentally ill. Watch this video and then you can't start to understand the type of people I'm talking about.
The following link is on the signature line of the principal's email.
That is a shocking and toxic video. I see that it is put out by "Seventeen" magazine, which was around when I was a young teenage girl. A magazine for girls. I know it has morphed and become twisted, and I'm not saying that back then it was necessarily healthy for young girls to focus on makeup, hairstyles and boys, but..... this isn't even a pendulum swinging. You are right; this is mental illness. There is a huge difference between "feeling" safe and "being" safe.
Sigh. If I had kids now in an elementary school where this was being pushed, I honestly would have to find a way to homeschool or band together with other parents to provide an alternative. The risk to normal children's development is too great.
Not only the denial of biological reality and the perverted (yet approved) socialization and guidance through puberty into abnormal adulthood, but the psychosocial harms from the masks and abysmal role models by the adults in charge at the school. So dangerous. Please pull your kids out, if you can.
I've also always said that masks are loaded with toxins! Masks reek of paint and chemicals, and I believe most are made in China - even the so-called "high quality" masks. And you're inhaling all those dangerous god-knows-what into your system.
The teacher may be lying about her mom. I hate to say it. I just am not sure I trust her. Regardless, I’m sorry about this awful email and predicament you’re now in. It’s shameful that teachers have no critical thinking skills.
I would ignore the email and just send my child to school maskless. Tell her that if the teacher or other students are putting pressure on her for not masking to make notes, or even try to record them. Make sure to keep any correspondence between you and this teacher and principle. Then use it to flip the script. I’m sure your school has all kinds of anti-bullying rules. Claim your daughter is being bullied at school needlessly. See how they react to that. Threaten legal action if possible. Then after creating a big mess this school year, be smart and unenroll your kid from this public indoctrination hellhole and find an alternative for next year.
The principal and probably the teacher are hopelessly under the psychosis, there's no reasoning with them. I would simply assert my rights to not mask my child and perhaps recommend the teacher invest in a ventilated helmet style respirator. It would be much more effective for her than everybody else having to wear surgical or cloth masks.
BS - don't fall for that. Her mother is not in the classroom. This is just more evidence that the entire scamdemic was based on Fear and Control.
Also, you might want to point out these facts: according to CDC, masks DO NOT prevent the spread of viruses:
What the CDC says about masks:
"In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks." ... "Crucially, however, the CDC found that mask mandates for students did not have a statistically significant impact on COVID-19 incidence."
We must drill down into covid origins, and who knew what and when and took advantage of it. Nothing is beyond inspection, nothing is beyond credibility. If we found out that a pharmaceutical giant paid for the gain-of-function research to create this, would we be surprised at all? What if it was the US government using Wuhan for some not-in-my-backyard deniability? This destroyed so much institutional trust.
I don't want to see them serving time in some "country club prison"...it needs to be the real deal (and a life sentence with no parole). Many of them should be executed for what they've done to this country.
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.
It’s all part of the plan. Divide and conquer destroy this country not from exterior threats but from within. The only way a government like the CCP stays in power is to defeat the western world as we know it. Currently the CCP is winning the war. It’s time we wake up and realize we can not do business with countries that don’t have the same value system that we have.
STOP BUYING CHINESE PRODUCTS. DEMAND FROM YOUR POLITICIANS A RETURN TO SELF SUFFICIENT US ECONOMY BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO THE STATES NOW.
I like the way you put that. I've been saying, "it's all part of the communist plot," which just sounds more like a conspiracy theory (which it is....)
Keep in mind; we likely have ~20-30% maybe more dipshits in this country (I call them misfit toys). Who want nothing more than a centralized form of government so they can be taken care of.
I live in Cali it's the land of fruits and nuts and misfit toys I have a front row seat.
everyone around me on a personal level (colleagues, friends, relatives) succumbed to the official narrative and there's many subjects we can't ever discuss anymore, leading to a heartfelt loss of warmth and easy companionship. yet other contacts and activities have evolved too, for which I'm grateful.
here's an article connecting some of the dots. not an easy read, but quite insightful. it's as if TPTB have miscalculated many aspects of this totally manipulated situation and went ahead with it regardless, without the proper timing and thus with many unforeseen developments that are, in fact (and fortunately so!) contradicting the official narrative -
Yeah, I tend to think my immune system naturally handled the virus well with a little help from HCQ and other misc meds, as I got dreaded delta and was very minimally sick.
I do wonder though about the bioweapon aspect and if there may be nasty effects down the road for anyone infected, even without having taken the shots.
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.
Ditto…I am 65yr.old female. I do not go to doctors anymore. 30+ years and zero pharma drugs. Very rarely otc drugs either. I haven’t trusted allopathic practicing doctors for years…not one.
Same here! I haven't had a "vaccine" since my last tetanus shot in 1987, and I've concluded that it might be why I, unlike most of my female clients, have not struggled with cancer and autoimmune diseases. I also got over covid with ivermectin, vitamins, and nebulizing with hydrogen peroxide. The downside is that I've lost over 60% of my massage practice because they're all terrified and won't associate with me if I won't take the shots and mask up. When "non-essential" workers were allowed to return to work in June 2020, I was floored by the discovery that whether or not a client was a true covid believer correlated 100% with their political affiliation. It's all so damn depressing - I thought I knew these people.
"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."
Your comment is a refreshing perspective. I have met no pharmacists who see through the propaganda. I especially appreciate and am surprised by your suggested treatment protocols. Have you always been open minded? Had your perspective on medications changed prior to the roll out of the lab virus or the kill shots?
My "perspective" got a kill shot back in the 80s when we saw the price of some drugs skyrocket without any justification at all, except for "whatcha gonna do about it."
Generic Tranxene (clorazepate), a mild Valium type drug, was $4.95 per 500 count bottle. Overnight it became $499.95, incredibly. Well, the parent company had bought out the other manufacturer, closed them down, and jacked the price by a factor of 100 because "we can."
My new teenage assistant, had, the previous day, accidentally ordered 11 bottles instead of one (a double tap), and we got ten bottles delivered, I think the maximum for any controlled substance order, @ the old price!! My boss thought I was a genius when I took him 6 bottles to the "main" store/pharmacy!
Big Pharma lies, cheats, steals, and I am sure murders, bribes, blackmails, spies, uses informants, and "owns" the governmental regulatory agencies, especially the State Boards. They will not hesitate to use these same regulatory gun and badge equipped "agents" against you in pursuit of "their goals."
I saw nothing in my 38 years that made me change my opinion, actually, only reinforced it considerably.
For the record, working in some of the most economically depressed areas of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, yes, I was licensed in three states, I delivered Rxs, babies, a lot of good advice/will, took people to the ER personally, performed CPR multiple times (successfully I might add), consulted with multiple levels of medical personnel daily, public speaking, filled thousands of Rxs after hours with pleasure, spent untold hours in patient drug analysis, always gave honest assessments, helped patients navigate the increasingly complicated treatment options ($$$$) and was trusted by the communities wholeheartedly. My boss once told me that my repertoire with the African/Mexican American communities was "legendary"
I once ran a pharmacy for 15 years straight in a very poor area, and my best compliment was from one of my former customers, years after I had left.
She said with a tear in her eye, "It was unbelievable all the old folks that passed, after you left." She then stopped, smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek, "I'm sorry, that didn't come out right. You made a difference. Life, quality of life, differences."
Cathleen, thank you. That is very touching, spiritually in particular.
I really loved all my elderly customers, so many pearls of wisdom from them.
Once, while talking to Mr. Carsie, an elderly gentleman who I got off drinking syrup(!!), who occasionally took a couple too many of his Dalmane sleeping pills (a controlled substance), I explained to him that under South Carolina law we couldn't fill it early and I would have to call his lady doc, for an authorization. He told me to tell her, a young and generally excellent black female general practitioner, "When you take sleep away from an old man, he ain't got much."
She agreed, and we fixed old man Carsie right up.
It might not sound like much of a "win" but when you put things in perspective, it is truly "huge"
“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.
You are not alone and you are strong like so many of us. I am the only one in my large family of origin to stay clear of all the madness...not one test ever, never a mask, and no clot shots either, but the division it has caused is real and raw...we must hold those responsible accountable. Luckily, my two adult kids were on the same page, and we are all still in awe at the level of complicity and ignorance surrounding all things Covid....the harm to the children is what hurts me the most as I am a teacher. Private teacher, black sheep of my family, and forever non-compliant...what good people call a skeptic, and a critical thinker. None of this made any sense from the get go....we need to put our efforts in making sure this never happens again!
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.
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.
Thanks, Mi. I have enjoyed speaking with you and know you'll keep fighting.
I ask anyone who likes this to please "Like" the story. I think Substack gives Liked stuff better product placement, thus enabling more people to read it.
Thanks.
Mark, you're brilliant. I just wish I could do transplant your elegant reasoning ability into my brain. As I mentioned in earlier comments, I'll just have to commit key passages to memory so that I don't sputter incoherently as I often do when verbally challenged.
Thanks, TT.
Don't sell yourself short.
Resist and speak.
Thank you. Advice well taken.
I did not know that about a story being "Liked". I shall use that info accordingly. :)
How does one like a story?
MiFly, I also am an unvaxxed physician. It’s been maddening. Insanity, whatever you want to call it. I chose to retire but the residency program needed an attending to teach and fill in some shifts as a hospitalist/ laborist. I was told to get a religious exemption, which I did. Interesting 🧐 right ? Pick and choose is what they do when it’s good for them. I am glad I’m there to watch the coronamania from the inside out, I would have never believed the bullshit that swirls around me. If I wrote a book, it would be published under sci fi. All I can say we are a minority. I probably will get called into the principal’s office for my comments on substack and cancelled, but that’s ok. I will turn my attention on Tik Tok and be 60 yr old fitness influencer!🥳
Thank you for speaking up.
Love it . Stay strong
MiFly , you as well🌞
Some of us physicians have fought this since the beginning. Masking was always clearly a fraud...those facts have been well known for 100 years. Same with antisocial distancing. The Spikeshot was a mostly-bad learning experience unless you were vulnerable and old. But the mandates about it were always unforgivable. Patients should ALWAYS be able to make informed decisions, even when they are ones you believe are wrong.
I have always maintained that my primary obligation is to my patients and to no one else -- not licensing board, not specialty board, no one. I created pages of talking points and never hesitated to pull them out and use them with administration and peers. They got tired of having me do it, frankly. Eventually, other than calls to "authority" (I have a long earned reputation for thinking very little of authority but being a decent doc) it turns out those on the other side had no arguments. So as long as I didn't get THEM in trouble, I have mostly been left alone.
I have yet to have worn a mask except in the OR (where it really does not do anything, either, but one has to pick one's battles and I am not a surgeon) although I confess to carrying it in my hand and waving it six times (and then putting it back in my pocket...lol). I have always advised those under 60 (unless special circumstances -- every person is their own science experiment I have always said) to avoid the Spikeshots and many have. Giving the Spikeshot to children remains on my Nuremberg list.
If one is going to be a good physician, the idea of work/life balance is inapplicable. Your work is your life, and other things then fall into place. Because health care is so complex and every patient is different, good physicians serve only their patients...everyone else be damned. And (tempting as it might be...lol) Pfizer has not offered me $1M to shut up like they have some other more prominent physician contra-voices.
So I suppose I will just keep doing what I have been. There are more of us out there than one thinks...most of us just do not make much noise...our duty is to our patients first and if we can cover that, we have done much of what we were meant to do.
So glad to read this....wish there were more doctors that thought and behaved as you do.
God bless you! We need more like you in the profession. I've basically given up on going to the doctor unless I'm bleeding profusely, or a bone is sticking out of the skin.
I hope to find, when I need a doctor again, that the one I went before is one of these.
I'm 75 years old. I've never had the covid shots, and I never will. Whether or not I might personally benefit from them (and I very much doubt that), I think it is more important for me to not add myself to the statistics of people who take the shot and thereby increase the social pressure on others.
If I die as a result, well, we all have to die some time, and resisting the tyranny is a cause well worth dying for.
How right you are, and bless you for resisting. I also believe the shots were and are harmful to all. Period. Not only useless, but dangerous!
I would have thought there would be more independent thinking oldsters, but it seems virtually all the 65+ I know or meet did what they were told. Thank you for taking a stand!
My thoughts exactly.
I thank the Lord for the good doctors, and there have been some real heros that have come out of this. Both those in the public eye and those behind the scenes such as yourself. At least now we know where people stand. You never really do until hard times that call for courage.
Before, I would have thought there would be more courageous docs. I was wrong, but at least there are some or the toll would have been even worse.
With your permission, and Mark's too, since this is his Substack, I would love to put your comment on my website.
It is fine with me if it is fine with Mark. A lot of us have always tried to do the right thing. Not all of us are adept at making noise about it -- wish we were.
Thank you SO MUCH, Dr. K. I greatly appreciate it.
Absolutely . Stand strong
So heartening to hear from a doctor. I've lost nearly all faith in the medical profession.
Same here. Exception: my Functional Medicine Doctor, who has shown great courage. She has her own clinic; doesn’t work for a corporation.
i had 2 doctors stand up for me since having covid in jan 2020 and igg levels of 114. I live in CA and they could both lose their license
Same here. Went to doc with a rash in June 2020 and should have come back end of that year. Doc was wrong about the rash, keeping away from them much as I can! Have been doctoring myself with herbs and homeopathic for 45 years with good results.
Me too!
Heartening but all too rare………
Thank you. The failure of both establishment and rank and file medicine to treat patients, save lives and generally stand up for the health and rights of their patients and the public is the worst aspect of this whole tragedy.
when there was no more informed consent; when 'do no harm' was washed away with toxic hand sanitizer; when my masklessness was going to kill an old person; when we had to learn zooming for work and study; when liquor stores were allowed to stay open 7 days a week, but public libraries and parcs were closed, that's when we knew it was a world-wide corrupt and manufactured powergrab. no more next boosters for out-dated strains, long overtaken by newer ones.... let's now concentrate on the healing process.
I was very naive to have been surprised and terribly disillusioned by the medical establishment - by our very own Primary Physicians!
We were berated in public by my husband's doctor for not wearing masks. Really wish we could find a doc like you.
My husband has been a logger for his whole adult life. Most dangerous job in the world. He has never gone to the doctor for a cold and we weren't about to spend one moment being scared of it. From the beginning I thought this was all accelerated by people who have never known risk or hardship and wanted to create some.
Thank you, Doctor.
I would like you to be in my physician, based on this response above. How to make that happen?

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!!
I agree! Also in Florida (thank God for Ron DeSantis), and I do give a pass to government officials, journalists and citizens in general for a limited time window – there was so little information available early. Within 6-8 weeks, with enough reading and research, and a dash of critical thinking, you could read the control-fueled overreach in its all-capital-letter glory. I predicted that the vaccines were going to evolve into a lifetime revenue stream of boosters the minute reports of waning efficacy surfaced. It's staggering to read about the ongoing paranoia even now – some people truly will submit and live the rest of their lives under this hammer.
Glad to say that one of my needle happy friends recently converted. Noticing how every time a holiday comes up the government finds a new variant.. decided to have a large family party. I congratulated him and am happy for him. Hope he does not booster again.
Unfortunately what will wake some up is adverse effects on themselves and family members. It’s really sad that’s the only thing. I think we’re about to see it. I’m already seeing small increases.
Needle happy friends. 🤣🤣🤣
I live in commiefornia (Bay Area too), and its still the same here. People drive in their cars, by themselves, with masks on. I've almost lost friends because I don't want to take the clot shot because they are scared of for their children, even though i've provided scientific evidence that the shot wasn't stopping Delta (per the Lancet for goodness sake) and then Omicron happened which blew it out of the water anyway (!!!). Still, they freaked out. Now one thinks her son, who she isolated to the point of madness over the past two years, got covid during the 2 weeks she let him back into school. She pulled him due to accessive vomiting. He ended up with a diagnosis of POTS. He had been shot with the vax a few weeks before, which was the impetus of allowing him back into school. She was confused when I talked to her about how he got Covid: but he must have because that is what his Doc said happened! I cried so hard when we got off the phone. That poor 11 year old will be on medication for the rest of his life now because of her/our society's willful ignorance and the government's goal serfdom.
Medication and worse. They will intubate POTs patients for feeding and meds. Cool for munchies who push this stuff on TikTok, not cool for children who need their lives
Pretty much same here in AZ. Can't fathom what other states have gone through.
DeSantis still fell for it, hook, line and sinker, and for that, he should never be forgiven. Anyone who would ever compromise fundamental rights and civil liberties, whatever the circumstances, can't be trusted. No one has, had or could have had the authority to do what he and everyone else did. Fear of the coof and fear for his political future (I must do something, even if it is the wrong thing!) is never a substitute for good judgement. He failed the test of liberty - you can find someone better to lead your state.
I beg to differ. If only we could find better leaders! In the meantime I'll take a DeSantis all day long. I think he did what he thought he had to do and then quickly realized the mistake.
I think so too. Both DeSantis and Kemp here in GA only gave in because of the enormous pressure, and reopened after a few weeks, getting pointed as killers. Not so. At least we had somewhat of a life!
I don’t trust your Kemp. He also said there was no evidence of voter fraud. I saw a video with clear proof of Georgia voter fraud.
I don' t trust him either LOL. He is a politician. But he did a good job as governor. And we are very happy we did not have Abrams, because she would have locked down Georgia into oblivion, my friends with small businesses would be sitting on street corners singing and sleeping under a bridge, and we would have all been death-jabbed. I hope he stays on. I don't want Abrams, and I certainly don't want Perdue.
I think we all have issues with ALL politicians right now.
Malone sent one of the best Friday funnies recently.
Showed a mom talking to her son: “Where do politicians come from, mom?”
“Well honey, when a clown and a serial killer love each other very much....”
I also beg to differ! I won’t waste key strokes, Mary C is correct!
He reacted very quickly! My husband just visited our home in NY, they are still driving around with masks on! I’m not sure they will ever catch up to Florida… where we live Free.
Don’t throw him under the bus. Please. We have precious few politicians on our side.
Your insane. He may have went along in the beginning, but by may2020 he realized the error of his ways and lifted mandates. He then made sure to put in place legislative solutions, not executive orders. He got bills passed that protect freedom for people. When certain areas of the state defied his laws, he withheld funds and threatened lawsuits and they fell in line. I’ll take Desantis all day every day. Not sure where you’re from, but if it’s been better than it is down here in Florida, I’d like to visit it.
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.
I'm also dealing with a principle that has her pronouns on her email signature with the following link.
https://www.mypronouns.org/
Mask mandates for kids are finally over (actually end 4/2 kids currently on spring break) and then I receive this email from my nine year old twins teacher.
Hello Families,
As masking mandates seem to be coming to an end, I have a request for you. My mother has cancer and is undergoing treatment. She lives in my home. I am requesting that you have your child continue to wear their mask when in the classroom. I cannot legally require it, but I hope that you will respect the deep concern I have for my mother's health.
Thank you,
Mithril
Dear Mithril,
I am sorry to hear about your mother. Best wishes for her recovery.
My daughter Petunia is unable to wear a mask as it interferes with her breathing. However, if masks prevent infection, I'm confident that your mask while in your mother's presence will keep her safe.
Sincerely,
Ms. Maverick
How about this:
My daughter Petunia is unable to wear a mask because she never should have been wearing one in the first place. However, if you are truly concerned, I think you should invest in a medical grade PAPR device. As this is the only device that can actually help mitigate the spread of airborne pathogens.
Love it.
Good one.
She can also put her mom in a bubble.
Seriously so sorry about mom's cancer. Perhaps the daughter should stop working to prevent this confusing circumstance. Seriously. Masks are not all that. Even the N95.
Perhaps she should take a break from teaching.
Speaking of bubbles, my son as a teenager was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Reference "Bubble Boy." The treatment was a 4 day in-hospital course of an infusion that tanked his blood levels completely with the goal of them rebuilding. He couldn't be discharged until they all were at a safe level. He was in a sterile room, all stainless steel. He was on a special diet - no fresh fruits or uncooked vegetables - all from the hospital, nothing brought from outside, because any bacteria could have killed him. We had to follow that diet for weeks after his discharge. And this was during flu season. NO ONE WORE MASKS! Not us, his parents. Not the numerous doctors and nurses that came into his room. Not even the janitor who emptied the garbage. So I KNEW from experience the masks during covid was total bullshit.
wow, what an experience, Dee. I am sure that was quite an ordeal.
Yes, this entire past ..... 6+ years has been a charade of leftist hate. They are like angry monsters. It has been much like watching toddler tantrums.
https://pdmj.org/papers/masks_false_safety_and_real_dangers_part2
Good one Dee🌞
Thanks!
Dee that’s an excellent reply
Thanks!
beautiful!!
This is emotional manipulation.
very true.
it's like a warped guilt-trip where 'we' should all feel guilty because Jesus died on the cross for 'us', you ungrateful grandma killer!
(sorry, couldn't help the frustration and sarcasm from seeping through).
Let the sarcasm and frustration flow. That's why we are all here - to support one another.
TQ
No, just no!! Her request is ridiculous. If she feels that way she should resign from her position and stay home with her mother.
do not comply, since it's her risk, not yours and absolutely not the children's. makes one wonder who or what she will blame when her mother will become even more sick. be well, GB
Well, we no that no one will blame the covid shots. ;)
how will you respond? Good grief. I really feel for the parents of young children being subjected to this damaging anti-science nonsense and being fed incorrect information, guilted into doing stupid charades..... similar nonsense going on where I live with "please wear your mask out of courtesy for others who might be immunocompromised." LIES!!!!!! So sorry the children are being victimized by frightened or well-meaning, brainwashed but ill-informed adults (people in authority).
The word, "No." would suffice.
If one felt the need to explain further, one could add a statement along these lines: "While I sympathize for your mother and pray she recovers, you are out of line to ask that your students behave as though they are potential 'disease vectors' and place any of the burden of your mother's condition upon them. Take what precautions you feel you must, but my child will not participate in same. If you press this matter in the classroom or with your administration, I will advocate against your doing so with your administration or in public as I see fit."
I like your response the best!!
That is a great question. I will take my time and rehearse my response. Then I will likely come in and talk to the principal on Monday.
I already told the principal the problem with the notion that masks somehow mitigate the spread of a virus. I explained how we are putting truly at-risk individuals in harm's way by giving them an idea that masks somehow help. It fell on deaf ears. They are like zombies. They cannot consider anyone in their tribe could possible be wrong about something. If someone says stay home to protect others they put the stay home badge on their profile pic. If someone says we support Ukraine they put a we support Ukraine badge up. It’s absolutely insane. Many of these people are mentally ill. Watch this video and then you can't start to understand the type of people I'm talking about.
The following link is on the signature line of the principal's email.

That is a shocking and toxic video. I see that it is put out by "Seventeen" magazine, which was around when I was a young teenage girl. A magazine for girls. I know it has morphed and become twisted, and I'm not saying that back then it was necessarily healthy for young girls to focus on makeup, hairstyles and boys, but..... this isn't even a pendulum swinging. You are right; this is mental illness. There is a huge difference between "feeling" safe and "being" safe.
Sigh. If I had kids now in an elementary school where this was being pushed, I honestly would have to find a way to homeschool or band together with other parents to provide an alternative. The risk to normal children's development is too great.
Not only the denial of biological reality and the perverted (yet approved) socialization and guidance through puberty into abnormal adulthood, but the psychosocial harms from the masks and abysmal role models by the adults in charge at the school. So dangerous. Please pull your kids out, if you can.
I agree, I'd definitely find a way to homeschool if I had young kids today.
I agree. I think every parent in America should find a way to pull their kids out of public school.
Here's some more ammo for you.
An article about the danger of some masks having toxins in them. The article also lists 30 links that say masks are ineffective!
https://freewestmedia.com/2022/02/04/harmful-substances-discovered-in-masks-distributed-to-schools-in-swiss-canton
And, this guy shows how unsanitarily the blue and white masks are made. (Warning ..strong language)
https://www.bitchute.com/video/CG2JHQr1K4Rk/
I have been saying that from day one. No one knows what's in the mask fibers. Especially the cheap shit made in China.
I've also always said that masks are loaded with toxins! Masks reek of paint and chemicals, and I believe most are made in China - even the so-called "high quality" masks. And you're inhaling all those dangerous god-knows-what into your system.
The teacher may be lying about her mom. I hate to say it. I just am not sure I trust her. Regardless, I’m sorry about this awful email and predicament you’re now in. It’s shameful that teachers have no critical thinking skills.
I would ignore the email and just send my child to school maskless. Tell her that if the teacher or other students are putting pressure on her for not masking to make notes, or even try to record them. Make sure to keep any correspondence between you and this teacher and principle. Then use it to flip the script. I’m sure your school has all kinds of anti-bullying rules. Claim your daughter is being bullied at school needlessly. See how they react to that. Threaten legal action if possible. Then after creating a big mess this school year, be smart and unenroll your kid from this public indoctrination hellhole and find an alternative for next year.
Golly, Mithril! What did cancer patients do to stay safe before COVID arrived? I suggest doing that.
The principal and probably the teacher are hopelessly under the psychosis, there's no reasoning with them. I would simply assert my rights to not mask my child and perhaps recommend the teacher invest in a ventilated helmet style respirator. It would be much more effective for her than everybody else having to wear surgical or cloth masks.
https://luxurylaunches.com/other_stuff/why-wear-a-mask-when-you-can-have-this-new-space-helmet-style-face-mask-with-built-in-fans.php
There are a number of other brands, styles and types, some with actual medical grade filtration systems.
just lovely ;-))
BS - don't fall for that. Her mother is not in the classroom. This is just more evidence that the entire scamdemic was based on Fear and Control.
Also, you might want to point out these facts: according to CDC, masks DO NOT prevent the spread of viruses:
What the CDC says about masks:
"In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks." ... "Crucially, however, the CDC found that mask mandates for students did not have a statistically significant impact on COVID-19 incidence."
Here's the link for the entire posting: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article?fbclid=IwAR1wgGi1n82n8eGLEFTIbzV3atyHqop9DqK-rhx7itJ0SY3eZm5erwTZw6g
In a meta analysis of 83 research papers on the use of masks, the researchers found not one study that showed masks prevent viral transmission.
You might want to remind them of this fact also:
Asbestos is so toxic that workers removing it must dress is space-age suits to be protected.
We are told that masks will protect us from covid-19.
Asbestos is 10x BIGGER than covid!!
The asbestos particles are 10 x (NOTE THAT - TEN TIMES BIGGER) than the covid-19. Do you really think that cloth face covering is protecting you????
I would simply ignore this ridiculous letter.
Was, and still is, a criminal event. It ain’t over yet.
We must drill down into covid origins, and who knew what and when and took advantage of it. Nothing is beyond inspection, nothing is beyond credibility. If we found out that a pharmaceutical giant paid for the gain-of-function research to create this, would we be surprised at all? What if it was the US government using Wuhan for some not-in-my-backyard deniability? This destroyed so much institutional trust.
I don't want to see them serving time in some "country club prison"...it needs to be the real deal (and a life sentence with no parole). Many of them should be executed for what they've done to this country.
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.
It’s all part of the plan. Divide and conquer destroy this country not from exterior threats but from within. The only way a government like the CCP stays in power is to defeat the western world as we know it. Currently the CCP is winning the war. It’s time we wake up and realize we can not do business with countries that don’t have the same value system that we have.
STOP BUYING CHINESE PRODUCTS. DEMAND FROM YOUR POLITICIANS A RETURN TO SELF SUFFICIENT US ECONOMY BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO THE STATES NOW.
I like the way you put that. I've been saying, "it's all part of the communist plot," which just sounds more like a conspiracy theory (which it is....)
Keep in mind; we likely have ~20-30% maybe more dipshits in this country (I call them misfit toys). Who want nothing more than a centralized form of government so they can be taken care of.
I live in Cali it's the land of fruits and nuts and misfit toys I have a front row seat.
Jokes on them the great reset doesn't care. If they can't produce they will starve, no matter how woke they are.
Do as I did and leave Commiefornia for Texas - it's awesome here.
everyone around me on a personal level (colleagues, friends, relatives) succumbed to the official narrative and there's many subjects we can't ever discuss anymore, leading to a heartfelt loss of warmth and easy companionship. yet other contacts and activities have evolved too, for which I'm grateful.
here's an article connecting some of the dots. not an easy read, but quite insightful. it's as if TPTB have miscalculated many aspects of this totally manipulated situation and went ahead with it regardless, without the proper timing and thus with many unforeseen developments that are, in fact (and fortunately so!) contradicting the official narrative -
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2022/02/24/is-great-reset-failing-when-great-narratives-fall-apart/
Yeah, I tend to think my immune system naturally handled the virus well with a little help from HCQ and other misc meds, as I got dreaded delta and was very minimally sick.
I do wonder though about the bioweapon aspect and if there may be nasty effects down the road for anyone infected, even without having taken the shots.
I love your entry.
Self-inflicted human suffering comes from thinking one can say or do something to change another person.
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.
urban misery: on-and-off all public libraries were closed while liquor stores have been open. talking about priorities :-((
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.
Ditto…I am 65yr.old female. I do not go to doctors anymore. 30+ years and zero pharma drugs. Very rarely otc drugs either. I haven’t trusted allopathic practicing doctors for years…not one.
Same here! I haven't had a "vaccine" since my last tetanus shot in 1987, and I've concluded that it might be why I, unlike most of my female clients, have not struggled with cancer and autoimmune diseases. I also got over covid with ivermectin, vitamins, and nebulizing with hydrogen peroxide. The downside is that I've lost over 60% of my massage practice because they're all terrified and won't associate with me if I won't take the shots and mask up. When "non-essential" workers were allowed to return to work in June 2020, I was floored by the discovery that whether or not a client was a true covid believer correlated 100% with their political affiliation. It's all so damn depressing - I thought I knew these people.
Thanks, Trb.
Yes, people are Med/Pharma crazy. Self-care works for so many people/problems.
Heads must roll. I’m not in a forgiving mood.
Nor should you be. No one has apologized.
"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...
Sad, but true, Raf.
Bring back Officer Joe Bolton. He wouldn't have tolerated any of this nonsense.
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?
Central Planning in action
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!
So obviously Orwellian......
I can't imagine the vapid Faulsi being able to coherently discuss with people like Dr. McCullough any of the topics surrounding this charade.
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."
Your comment is a refreshing perspective. I have met no pharmacists who see through the propaganda. I especially appreciate and am surprised by your suggested treatment protocols. Have you always been open minded? Had your perspective on medications changed prior to the roll out of the lab virus or the kill shots?
My "perspective" got a kill shot back in the 80s when we saw the price of some drugs skyrocket without any justification at all, except for "whatcha gonna do about it."
Generic Tranxene (clorazepate), a mild Valium type drug, was $4.95 per 500 count bottle. Overnight it became $499.95, incredibly. Well, the parent company had bought out the other manufacturer, closed them down, and jacked the price by a factor of 100 because "we can."
My new teenage assistant, had, the previous day, accidentally ordered 11 bottles instead of one (a double tap), and we got ten bottles delivered, I think the maximum for any controlled substance order, @ the old price!! My boss thought I was a genius when I took him 6 bottles to the "main" store/pharmacy!
Big Pharma lies, cheats, steals, and I am sure murders, bribes, blackmails, spies, uses informants, and "owns" the governmental regulatory agencies, especially the State Boards. They will not hesitate to use these same regulatory gun and badge equipped "agents" against you in pursuit of "their goals."
I saw nothing in my 38 years that made me change my opinion, actually, only reinforced it considerably.
For the record, working in some of the most economically depressed areas of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, yes, I was licensed in three states, I delivered Rxs, babies, a lot of good advice/will, took people to the ER personally, performed CPR multiple times (successfully I might add), consulted with multiple levels of medical personnel daily, public speaking, filled thousands of Rxs after hours with pleasure, spent untold hours in patient drug analysis, always gave honest assessments, helped patients navigate the increasingly complicated treatment options ($$$$) and was trusted by the communities wholeheartedly. My boss once told me that my repertoire with the African/Mexican American communities was "legendary"
I once ran a pharmacy for 15 years straight in a very poor area, and my best compliment was from one of my former customers, years after I had left.
She said with a tear in her eye, "It was unbelievable all the old folks that passed, after you left." She then stopped, smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek, "I'm sorry, that didn't come out right. You made a difference. Life, quality of life, differences."
One more thing, all that "trust & good will," destroyed by Fauci (Mengele HEAVY) and friends! Probably never coming back!
I could be bitter, but instead I tell people who ask what I retired from "Drug dealer, licensed in three states."
I’ve never met you, Edwin. But I love you💜
Cathleen, thank you. That is very touching, spiritually in particular.
I really loved all my elderly customers, so many pearls of wisdom from them.
Once, while talking to Mr. Carsie, an elderly gentleman who I got off drinking syrup(!!), who occasionally took a couple too many of his Dalmane sleeping pills (a controlled substance), I explained to him that under South Carolina law we couldn't fill it early and I would have to call his lady doc, for an authorization. He told me to tell her, a young and generally excellent black female general practitioner, "When you take sleep away from an old man, he ain't got much."
She agreed, and we fixed old man Carsie right up.
It might not sound like much of a "win" but when you put things in perspective, it is truly "huge"
Wow! What an incredible legacy you left. I really appreciate your response. Thank you. You brought both a smile and tears.
Thank you Amking.
I always wanted to "make a difference."
I suppose I did, at least on an individual level.
And that is where it matters, on a spiritual Christian level.
"Collectively," as our Marxist Leftist "friends" only seem to think,
I was a failure and this is not stated as a discouragement to others.
But more of a "reality check." Be grateful for the little "wins."
There may not be any "big" ones.
Edwin I’m with you 💯 %
“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.
Complicity theorists not useful idiots. It’s a much more appropriate term.
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.
That's a sad story, Cheryl.
I'm writing these precisely for that reason: to let sane people know they're not alone.
You are not alone and you are strong like so many of us. I am the only one in my large family of origin to stay clear of all the madness...not one test ever, never a mask, and no clot shots either, but the division it has caused is real and raw...we must hold those responsible accountable. Luckily, my two adult kids were on the same page, and we are all still in awe at the level of complicity and ignorance surrounding all things Covid....the harm to the children is what hurts me the most as I am a teacher. Private teacher, black sheep of my family, and forever non-compliant...what good people call a skeptic, and a critical thinker. None of this made any sense from the get go....we need to put our efforts in making sure this never happens again!
You are not alone. The gaslighting has been too effective with the younger generations. Sad and infuriating!
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. 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.
