Thank you for both protesting and updating us about it. I'm a Princeton graduate, and it was upon receiving the notification that the Class of '22 had selected Fauci to be their Class Day speaker that I made the pronouncement I was officially DONE being a proud alum and would NEVER give another dime in financial support to this institution of brainwashing and groupthink. I've been disgusted with the U and its policies over the past two years, and in fact helped guide my daughter away from Princeton during her own college application process last year, but that was just the absolute last straw for me. By the way, CDC Director Walensky was also welcomed by the campus a few weeks ago. It's been one heck of a spring at Princeton.
I'm another Princeton graduate who in fact was the Latin salutatorian of my class. And I don't remember how to say much in Latin.
I believed the lies for about a year. I suppose that confirms your low opinion of Princeton grads.
Fauci would have studied Latin for four years in the New York City Jesuit high school from which we both graduated. From there, he went on to study at Holy Cross, a Jesuit college, at which he is likely to have studied more Latin.
I bring up Latin b/c I've heard that it's a grad day tradition to have a speaker give a mock address in Latin that almost no one understands but all laugh at pre-arranged times to impress parents and put on the dog.
I know about two dozen Princeton grads. I went to HS and law school with most of these. Not one is an awesome intellect. Many are "box checkers." And nearly all are PC cultists. I discuss things with them--especially sciences--and they say a lot of things that are just outright incorrect. And only a few have any second language proficiency. No smart human who has witnessed the past 27 months can think Fauci is anything but a charlatan. Yet, they invited and applauded him.
Yes, that is a tradition, and I gave that speech my year.
I've studied a lot of languages myself, both in that high school, at Princeton, and later on, but I can't say I ever achieved fluency in any foreign language.
BTW, earnest Q: why would you believe the lies for a year?
And what did it take to change your mind?
If you scroll my archive, I wrote 3-4 essays about why I knew this was a scam or at best a mistake. One is about caribou. Another is about pelicans. A third is about pranks.
Nor was I paying attention to the news. The CV news has been obviously histrionic since Day 1. But I have a scientific and sociological framework that enabled me to see that this was being badly overblown for political and economic gain.
Plus, I looked at my own large social circle and and saw no one under 80 and healthy dying from this.
Hence, I concluded that this was a scam. I've always been an independent thinker who doesn't care if people like me or not. I don't---and didn't-- go along to get along.
I wrote op-eds calling out the scam in March, 2020 that no paper would publish.
I wrote the following essay in May, 2020. Medium later took my account down. I later tweaked it and put it on Substack. It explains why I knew when other people didn't know. I'm not boasting. It just angers me that so many people were so gullible. The ostensible reasons to lock down etc. simply didn't add up.
When Covid arrived, I was already at least 12 years into my intellectual “re-set” so I knew immediately that everything the public was being told by authorities, experts and the media was almost certainly a lie.
I trace my full “awakening” to Ron Paul’s last presidential bid. I already admired Paul for his small-government ideology and his willingness to stick to contrarian principles, but what really caused me to re-evaluate the world was his criticisms of America’s “interventions” in Iraq and Afghanistan. At one point, I was gung ho that America had to fight these “terrorists” over there, so we didn’t have to fight them in our own country. I bought the narrative that we were “spreading democracy” and these nations were a “threat” to American “national security.”
Thanks to Paul, and my willingness to reconsider previous views, I did an about-face and quickly came to believe that these nations posed zero threat to America and that it was really our own government that was working to take away my “freedoms.”
This intellectual journey eventually caused me to re-asses just about everything I had previously accepted as sacrosanct.
But I was already closer to this intellectual destination than most of my friends. For example, Washington Post and Newsweek columnist Robert J. Samuelson had a tremendous influence on me when he wrote a book with the title, “Untruth: How (Almost All) Conventional Wisdom is Wrong.” (Today, it amazes me that, once upon a time, a columnist for one of the most famous mainstream press journals wrote a book developing such a theme).
John Stossel also influenced me with his libertarian journalism and news specials, segments that always challenged “conventional wisdom.” Stossel of course no longer works for a major TV news network.
By the time Covid arrived, I’d already developed my own theory, “The Law of Opposite Effects.” This maxim tells me that whatever the Powers that Be tell us will happen when the State implements some policy, the opposite result will almost certainly happen.
So when I was told that Covid was a great threat to everyone, I knew it was no threat to most people. When I was told that “vaccines” would prevent infections, I knew they wouldn’t and that the they would, in fact, be very dangerous.
People who think like me are probably 1 in 10,000. In many ways, such a contrarian world view makes one’s life more difficult as you end up disagreeing with just about everyone. You also become certain that some policy that is supposed to help people will actually harm many people. But you feel impotent in preventing this outcome because you know nothing is going to change and that your lonely voice will be dismissed.
As a journalist, I intuitively knew that members of the Fourth Estate should be skeptics, should try to find real truths and should not be afraid of exposing corrupt leaders or “faux narratives.” Alas, I wrote for small papers and rarely did real “investigative journalism.” I wrote simple stories and human interest pieces. It was only a couple of years ago, when I lost my job as a managing editor, that I decided to become a “freelance” journalist and write about the stories that most interested me. As it turned out, the purpose of most of these stories was to debunk or challenge dubious narratives.
Today, it burns me up that my journalism peers at the big corporate news organizations consider such topics to be taboo. It’s frustrating that my articles and commentaries are deemed un-publishable at sites I now believe exist to protect false and harmful narratives.
But I still think the 1 person in 10,000 who is willing to challenge dogma or conventional wisdom is far more important than the 9,999 who are practicing “pack journalism” and have swallowed the GroupThink Kool-Aid.
I also think a few more people have now made a similar intellectual journey as myself. More people are now also questioning things they would never have questioned before. This evolution might not have won them any friends (it probably cost them a few), but these converts might also be influencing other people.
Anyway, I still think it’s a good thing that at least a few people are willing to search for the truth and no longer believe everything they are told. When no contrarians are left to question dubious narratives the world will be a dystopian place.
thanks for the book rec and this great little memoir of your journey. they are all so individual. As an example, I was against the war on terror from the start. Looking back, dating an Iranian at the time probably had the most to do with it. And I maintain that position to this day. But that's not to say I didn't buy into some good media manipulation for a few years here and there, most notably the trump hate and mass shooting hype. So for me, the awakening feels more like a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs. Been taking the big, seemingly never-ending plunge for just over a year now, but even that was preceded by a few teasers. Keep up your one in 10,000 work! you and Mark are on a mission.
Concentrated attention is a great way to put it. That's when it got as personal as it gets. I hated the lockdowns and school closures and by fall 2020 I could finally see the NLP being used in our press conferences, but I did not want to see nefarious intent for as long as possible. I wanted it to be panic and dereliction of duty. Actually very similar to my thoughts on 9/11. I didn't credit the inside job theory in a real way until this year. But that didn't stop me from being against all of the obviously idiotic policies. It took me a long time to realize that compliance just made it all worse.
BC grad here - I write the administration, all state legislators, my governor, my mayor and city councilors in Boston on a regular basis. I've been to some protests and they've been poorly attended as well. So now I spend a lot of time writing. Sharing links and papers and studies from credentialed scientists and MDs about the dangers of these horrible experimental genetic injections. I tell them all I want my comments to be part of the public record, that I think they are guilty of malfeasance, and I want to ensure they can't state at a later date that they didn't have better information. Meanwhile, a sophomore at Boston College suffered a stroke after his mandated booster this year. There is a major lawsuit in the works over that one.
Prediction: That lawsuit will be thrown out. They can't lose ONE such case. If they lose one, they are going to lose 100,000 ... and every big organization in the country is going to be bankrupt.
"If they lose one, they are going to lose 100,000 ... and every big organization in the country is going to be bankrupt." 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished. But, yes, I'm sure you are right.
Bill, you are probably and tragically right. The case of Hannah Poling is a case study at how government weasels out vaccine induced autism. I couldn't find a comprehensive link to the ins and outs of this case, but its just additional proof of everything that is corrupt with vaccines and the injuries they cause.
The response by Jon Poling (Hannah Poling's father) to the Offit article might be worth considering. The Hannah Poling case has a history where federal prosecutors and VICP program specifically carved out the exception for Hannah Poling otherwise 5,000 autism cases would have to be compensated. How they did it is corruption at its best. Offit falsely assumes that the reduction in antigen units have made vaccines safe. Reduction of the antigen units did reduce the reactigenicity when DTaP replaced the DTP. But the number of vaccines dramatically increased at the same time with their adjuvants and other toxic ingredients.
Vaccines and Autism Revisited
To the Editor
In his Perspective article on a possible connection between vaccines and autism, Offit (May 15 issue)1 speculates about my daughter, Hannah, and repeats inaccuracies from a March New York Times opinion piece that was officially corrected by the Times and our April 5 letter.
By omitting critical information from my March 6, 2008, statement, Offit misrepresents my position. I said, “Many in the autism community and their champions believe that the result in this case may well signify a landmark decision as it pertains to children developing autism following vaccinations. This still remains to be seen, but currently there are almost 5,000 other cases pending.”
Offit's remarks about Hannah's case are not evidence-based. He has no access to my daughter's personal medical records, legal documents, or affidavits. In contrast, physicians from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) who studied this information recommended that the government concede Hannah's case. The clinical history Offit presents contains significant inaccuracies, and the resulting conclusions are consequently flawed.
Offit confuses issues by comparing Hannah's case with unrelated decisions in “vaccine court.” The Office of the Secretary of DHHS, through the Department of Justice, conceded Hannah's case. There was no courtroom hearing and no decision from the “unusual vaccine court.”
Offit is frequently cited regarding the “biologically plausible” theory that simultaneous administration of multiple vaccines is safe. His opinion is unsupported by clinical trials, much less investigations in potentially susceptible subpopulations.
Despite the high frequency of mitochondrial dysfunction in autistic children,2 studies have not established primary or secondary roles. To explore this question, we need an immunization database for children with metabolic disorders to establish safety guidelines3 and improve vaccine safety for minority subgroups of children.
I agree with the statement of Bernadine Healy, former director of the National Institutes of Health, who said, “I don't think you should ever turn your back on any scientific hypothesis because you're afraid of what it might show. . . . If you know that susceptible group, you can save those children. If you turn your back on the notion there is a susceptible group . . . what can I say?”4 Also commendable is the new 5-year research plan of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, which will entail the study of minority subpopulations, including patients with mitochondrial disorders.5
A strong, safe vaccination program is a cornerstone of public health. Misrepresenting Hannah Poling v. HHS to the medical profession does not improve confidence in the immunization program or advance science toward an understanding of how and why regressive encephalopathy with autistic features follows vaccination in susceptible children.
Dr. Poling is the father of Hannah Poling and reports receiving consulting or lecture fees from Pfizer, Eisai, Ortho-McNeil, Biogen, Teva, Immunex, and Allergan. No other potential conflict of interest relevant to this letter was reported.
Thank you for posting that article. What an upsetting read. So this catastrophic increase in autism is just coming from... ? The New England Journal of Medicine can't be bothered writing about that I guess.
Okay I know there aren't enough of us to make a difference, but that's why I loved reading your comment. I had a similar experience with my high school (Punahou School of Barack Obama fame claiming). It is an elitist institution with very high alumni involvement, so while not as prestigious, does engender the same type of milieu. Over the course of 2020 I was in close contact with classmates who were very disappointed in the online learning route the school took, but it got worse with endless school safety updates with photos of kids in masks AND face shields (my kids in the netherlands never wore masks except on the airplane, which incidentally, no one was interested in hearing about, though I thought that was the point of having a globe spanning alumni network). Then in the summer of 2021 on the heels of a statewide vax pass system, they announced a return to in person alumni events, but on condition of vaccination. This is after it was quite clear that it didn't stop spread. I wrote my first and last nuclear email to the school hating on my alma mater so hard I won't ever live it down. I laid it all out, including how classmates had unfriended me on SM over this and how pathetic a legacy all this elitism founded. No critical thinking and certainly no empathy, core tenets of the school's mission. I asked to be removed from their lists (which I know all about because I helped add anyone and everyone to those lists to try and up involvement and cash) and I will never donate to their failed cause again. Those classmates have been the absolute worst group-thinkers and bullies in my life. Good riddance. Never been so happy my hubby put his foot down and made us return to the Netherlands after living in Hawaii for three years. It was always my dream my kids would be third generation graduates, but honestly the writing was on the wall years ago and he made the right call.
Yes, many many times. Protesters were also beaten and some rioters were even shot! But the worst was having dogs sicced on us. Not at any of the protests, I attended, but at a few others. amnesty international got involved. Some very upsetting images are floating around. CJ Hopkins used them to good effect in a couple memes. The reason I say it is the worst is because it is so viscerally violent and scary. So primitive. This country is unrecognizable. Democratic rule of law is dead. But I have learned from talking to people who lived through horrors, including the nazi occupation of Amsterdam, that life simply goes on, one way or another. We show up and do what we can, but other than that we must live.
Thank you for both protesting and updating us about it.

And yes, pro-"vaxx." Like that worked.

So many universities and companies will be defendants in these cases. Collectively, these will make asbestos litigation seem like traffic court.
Man, I hope you are right. I agree. The liability exposure is (or should be) massive - The BP oil spill times 100,000.
Prediction: That lawsuit will be thrown out. They can't lose ONE such case. If they lose one, they are going to lose 100,000 ... and every big organization in the country is going to be bankrupt.
