The media has conned people badly. So much damage has been done.

I write to let people who see the truth/bigger picture know they're not alone.

Thank you for writing. I have recently invited my hospital Covid Response team and local state politicians to a friendly, academic debate/discussion over proposed policies and the data to support them. The hospital has ignored my invitation. I am seeking support from this community. With gratitude.

Another good one, Mark. I’ll share a brief experience from my current situation (facing jab or no job at the moment) - I sent 9 questions to my corporate HR rep the day they announced the mandate. The one I was most curious about was “how many cases have we had internally in the last two months and of those cases, how many were breakthrough?” I was told, “we’re not going to share that information.” If it helped them make the case vaxxes are necessary, you better believe they’re sharing it.

Thanks, Fay.

It's certainly true that they'd tell you if it favored them. The game has been rigged from the beginning.

Will you make them fire you about the vaxx? I was ready to, but they gave me a testing option.

It seems clear to me that too many of us are not easily replaced. If people stood together on this, they'd have to back down.

They’re going to have to fire me if they intend to actually enforce the policy. I asked if they’d accept testing or antibody proof and was told no on both. It’s clear to me this has nothing to do with health or science for them. Coincidentally (but almost certainly not coincidentally) the company is reportedly accepting buyout bids. With the political cover they’ve now been given, they can keep payroll costs down for a suitor by eliminating non essential staffers like myself and just blame the vax mandate.

I read (no linked research) that EUA vaccines, which these still are (Comirnaty will not be available until 2023?), by law cannot be mandated. The bait and switch the FDA and Biden did is demonic. I wish we were seeing a massive amount of lawsuits but right now, it seems like they are going to try to push as many vax doses out before the states’ and other lawsuits from places like Children’s Health Defense are heard in the courts. I did see one court in Florida stopped the mandate.

Mark, I just discovered your page and it's a welcome addition to my regular rotation of Covid-19 analysis and insights. Thank you for doing this.

Just one request, if I may. It's about your statement, in this post, that "Further, each positive test counted as an additional case; if the same person tested positive three times in a week, three cases were tallied." This is dynamite information and the Covidian Cultist members of my family will want to know where that came from. What can I give them as the source for this (over)counting policy?

Thanks very much, and keep up the great work.

Thanks, Rod.

The main reason I'm writing is to let the sane people know they have company. If you know of other people who might like my messages, please share it.

I don't remember where I heard that counting thing but I have a good memory and I know it's out there in multiple places. I wrote legal briefs and journal article for many years and I like not having to find a cite to back every sentence.

Y'know what's disturbing? When I talk to people about CV, they are deeply misinformed. They don't even know what a PCR test is. Yet, they're sure they know what's going on.

you got that right. Their ignorance gives them confidence. I don't know how that works. I assume it's a consequence of television programming

Hi Mark, thanks very much for the video link. I didn't catch anything there about every positive PCR test counting as a new Covid case even if it's in the same person, but still her video is full of Gold nuggets (so to speak). She mentioned something else to follow up on: that African-Americans experience a greater incidence of side effects from certain vaccines and that this may be a reason for vaccine hesitancy on their part.

Thank you for presenting me with this additional idea to look into!

where are the 25 questions Mark? If that was meant to be a link, it doesn't work for me on Opera

No doubt, Dennis. It's painful to think of how the lockdowns, etc. could all have been averted by simple, cheap medication.

But by saying that, I guess I'm missing the point.

Fantastic work Mark. Well done.

Thank you very much, Dennis.

I like some others more. I think my two favorites are the ones about the caribou and the pelicans.

But when you do litigation, you see that every fact/every issue is contested and subject to proof. By comparison, the media has completely failed to engage/challenge some very dubious stats. Consequently, we've had a poor societal outcome.

So see, attorneys are criticized, but we really DO know something important!

Is that ever true! I have thought for quite a while we need more lawyers and fewer doctors to get this nonsense turned around. Unfortunately, many lawyers seem imperiled by fear of reprisals too, which is a bit surprising to me.

Speaking of fewer doctors, here are a couple good "doctor" quotes:

"The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease." --Voltaire

"Though the doctors treated him, let his blood and gave him medications to drink, he nevertheless recovered." --Leo Tolstoy, in War and Peace

This is wonderful, thanks, a welcome addition to my databanks. I collect all such worthy URLs and put them up on covidhonesty.com and this will join them. This and about maybe another 50 - 100 I already have collected since I last updated it.

Just one thing: this point about the vaxxed infecting the unvaxxed.

It is because the vaxxed carry a higher viral load. Right. Now that's the 'infected' vaxxed of course?

Nobody is saying the 'uninfected' vaxxed shed virus or infect others.

But 'infected' vaxxed can carry a higher viral load because their immune system is primed and they're capable of handling it before needing hospitalisation. Right?

Just getting the facts right.

The 'fact checkers' are spreading misinformation by claiming it is false to say the vaxxed spread the virus and loudly claim the vaxxed CANNOT and DO NOT spread the virus.

Concealing the truth they well know which is that when the claim is made we are of course talking about 'infected' vaxxed.

And vaxxed DO get infected. Of course.

That all correct?

well said for sure. thank you. Day of the rope should become a month to be proud of.

At the very least, be honest about your own background. You spent the entirety of your career working for the state of new jersey. A scouring of the internet reveals that the vast majority of your work was contained to the administrative law "courts." It appears your salary matched that of a public school teacher. You're a hack.

I never said I was highly paid. I was a public interest attorney who went against, and was well-regarded by, the biggest firms in the state. I did many thousands of hours of work in Federal Court and all Divisions of the Superior Court, especially in the Appellate Division. I also published multiple legal journal articles. This is not common.

And '"contained to' the administrative law courts?" Where did you learn how to write, (Anonymous) John? Weird that you have the time to stalk me. You must lead a sad life.

Stick to solid facts, not false, personal attacks. It's what good attorneys do. The problem is that you lack the facts to make decent arguments in the CV context.

Wow, John. Although I disagree, Mark may be a hack, but one with a talent for writing. You are a jerk. Seems to me there are plenty of social media sites out there that love to have folks like you snark around. Maybe you should spend more time there?
