From the beginning, the Covid “vaccines” have felt like a massive scam. Initially, consider the source. Vaxxmania arises from, and is zealously sponsored by, the same “experts” who masterminded the epic Covid overreaction: Fauci, Walensky, the Democratic governors, the Canadian, Australian and German governments and the media. In a compelling video, Dr. David Martin explains that the declaration of a “Pandemic(!)” and the lockdowns were a premeditated pretext for the shots.
I know a 98 year old who was moved back and forth between the nursing home and hospital for 6 weeks before actually catching Covid. She went on to die alone. Her daughter heard her screams of pain when she called, only to be told they wouldn’t increase the morphine dose of a lonely dying 98 year old because “morphine can cause addiction.” 🙄. This active, thin, lively very healthy daughter, 68, who was exposed to her positive mother in May 2020 got vaccinated in early 2021 and died of a catastrophic stroke with zero warning signs or risk factors.
My 72 year old father was clearly injured by the vaccine. Starting after his second vaccine he’s had a dramatic mental haze and decreased energy and blood oxygen (which we only know because I got them oxygen monitors early and he played with his a lot).
A friend of mine who is very overweight but only 45 nearly died of Covid 4 months after being fully vaccinated. She refused medical help for 8 days after getting sick and testing positive because, despite her risk and terrible symptoms, she didn’t want to “contribute” to the “narrative” the vaccines weren’t very effective. She still hasn’t fully recovered (2 months later).
I know of 3 other people who died within a month of vaccination. All under 50. All healthy. All men. One from Covid caught within days of vaccination, one blood clots, one a sudden catastrophic heart attack.
Another very healthy 55 year old man who is a friend started bleeding profusely from his nose and was temporarily paralyzed 8 days after J&J. Our local hospital system is woke and not remotely trustworthy (our IFR deaths related to Covid in any way, even age/ population adjusted, are some of the highest in NC). A family friend of theirs is a physician with a strong understanding of alternative and western medicine treated him at home for blood clots that were engulfing my friend’s body.
Aside from the 98 year old, none was reported by any healthcare provider or agency as relating to Covid or vaccination.
The increases in all cause mortality tell the story….. but people would rather destroy a generation of kids than read the available data, much less search for truth.
Congrats Biden voters - are you proud of your decision based in media hysteria and “feelings”? Do you cheer the mandates and mass vaccination that are based solely in political science? Do you cover your small child’s face to ensure they are unconnected and unmotivated in the classroom? Yes, history will rightly describe you as the regressive and insane child hating anti-science barbarians you are, but some of us, rightly, already do.
Another great one Mark! If anything you are too kind with the analogy. I can only wish I had been saddled with a costly timeshare.
This seems much worse. Like you, I expect to face a serious fork in the road with my career. Here in my late 50s, I am at a pinnacle employer at the top of my game in a very demanding, somewhat rarified, profession. In other words I am very costly to replace. This is just wholesale insanity.
Looking at all of this with a level of health and fitness rivaling anyone over 40. I just rode a seriously hard Gran Fondo cycling race in the SC hills last weekend and felt awesome. A good part of it is confidence thru months and years of training, weight mgt, AND knowing I don't have vax induced hidden cardio damage or micro clotting.
BTW, there were over 3000 cyclists riding the Gran Fondo, not a mask in sight! Felt like freedom.
I just read about a 104 year old who recovered. A few months ago, a nun of 116 in France recovered. If it is your time to go, you die anyway. Why the panic ? Are there people who think they will live forever ? Do they want to ? I don't !
I completely agree with Dr Martin, the lockdowns, masks, contact tracing, etc were all designed to create conditions so horrible that people would be willing to do anything to get their lives back.
I'm lucky enough to live near a major university that has a huge medical school. And of course since long before the "pandemic" universities have gone online. There is a huge amount of info and researchable material available from the comfort of one's living room. I recently decided to take advantage this ;)
First of all they KNOW that if left alone (no interventions) respiratory viruses that spread by aresols/droplets are absolutely uncontrolable. The specific virus doesn't matter, smallpox, common cold, measles, covid. It's really not that complicated- what it boils down to is A)you can't stop people from breathing and B)you can't stop people from mingling. Hence they spread unchecked. No big surprizes here. And also hence, they are taught the only intervention that actually works is vaccination. Given the success of the vaxxes for smallpox, measles, etc this is at least partly, and even often true. I don't see any problems with this so far.
Where things go off the rails first about severity. Covid is not smallpox which has a fatality rate of about 30% and that's extremely high. As we now know, covid's fatality rate is less than 1%.
The second derailment is that the covid vaxx does nothing to stop infection and spread. The reason the other vaxxes for the diseases already mentioned were successful is because they actually worked. What remains hidden is that there has NEVER been a successful vaxx for ANY corona virus (and there are LOTS of them) in animals or humans. NEVER. Full stop. Immunity *always* wanes after a few months. They also know this, it's well documented, they have known it from the beginning.
The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the covid vaxx exists only to make pharma billions of dollars. Remember these are the the people who doubled and tripled the price of lifesaving, essential drugs like epi pens and insulin. These are the people who gave us the opiates crisis. It's no stretch to think they saw an opportunity to make obscene profits from covid vaxxes that don't work.
As for what the politicians are up to, other than making a bad situation worse and milking it for all the political gain and cover they can get, I wouldn't hazard a guess. But think about this- what would happen if by some miracle they came to their senses tomorrow and said, "We were wrong. Nevermind about covid."
And finally Mark, so sorry to hear about your job. Keep your cheer and your chin up. I'm in your corner and hoping for the best for you :)
Please take a look at this (long) Twitter thread from someone in Lithuania. This is what’s happening on the ground there right now and it’s exactly what the vaxxers in the US want. They will not stop and they must be fought. Too many have laid down and out Liberty in shambles if we do not act. It’s long, but worth it. The original post is from @gluboco - be afraid, be very afraid:
————-
In just 6 weeks, the Covid Pass has transformed my country into a regime of control and segregation. This is the new society created in Lithuania, the nation furthest along the path to the authoritarianism inevitably facing all countries which impose a Covid Pass regime:
The Covid Pass in Lithuania is called the "Opportunity Pass." The Opportunity Pass allows you the opportunity to participate in society. Without the Opportunity Pass, you don't have opportunity: your rights are restricted.
My wife and I don't have the Covid Pass. We refuse to accept the authoritarianism and control of the new regime. So we've lost our jobs and been banished from most of society. It's been 6 weeks so far. There is currently no end date planned for the new regime.
With no Pass, we may only enter small shops with street entrances which mainly sell essential goods: food, pharma, optics, or farm/pet goods. This convenience store meets the requirements, so we may enter: (photo of sign)
Every other store must, by law, ban people without the Pass. In Lithuanian, the Pass is called "Galimybių pasas," abbreviated as "GP." "GP" signs are now ubiquitous at stores and public buildings to signal compliance with the policy of banishment:
All shopping centers ban people without the Covid Pass. Machines have been installed to scan and verify the Pass of each person who enters. No Pass, no entrance.
This is a clothing store. By law, it must ban my wife and me because we don't have the Covid Pass. Clothing is not considered essential.
Why is an ID needed to shop, in addition to a Pass? To verify the Pass is yours. e.g.: A construction worker wanted food for his morning shift. Without his own Pass, he used his boss's QR code to enter a supermarket. Police fined the man 5,000 eur and issued a press release.
This is a sporting goods store. The guard is using a phone app to verify the customer's Pass. Without a Pass, my wife and I may not enter this store.
At all supermarkets larger than 1500 square meters, guards scan each customer's Pass. My wife and I may not shop in these supermarkets: no Pass, no entrance.
The law bans people without the Pass from all non-essential services and economic activities. This is a religious supply store. It's not considered essential. So by law, the owner must ban my wife and me.
We're banned from bookstores. Only people with a Covid Pass may enter. Because we don't have a Pass, my wife and I cannot take our two children here.
My family enjoys crafts. But without a Pass, we can no longer enter knitting stores to buy yarn and other supplies.
Without a Covid Pass, we can't take our children to art supply stores. We're also not allowed to pick up online orders.
We're not allowed to receive any beauty services, e.g., hair, nails, skincare. This is a barber. No Pass, no entrance.
Without a Pass, we may not receive repair services which last longer than 15 minutes. This is an online ad for a shop which repairs iPhone screens: "Don't have a Pass? We can register you by phone and then we'll collect your device outside the entrance!"
Second-hand stores are not exempt. No one may buy or sell without the Pass. This is Humana, an international group which collects and sells second-hand clothing. No Pass, no entrance.
Without a Pass, we may not visit patients in medical facilities or senior care/residential homes. The only exception is for terminally-ill patients, pregnant women, or children under 14 years of age, if the doctor gives advance permission.
Without a Pass, we cannot enter most government buildings. So we can't talk to government officials in person. This is the website of the city of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania: "As of 13-Sept, we only provide in-person service to people who have the Opportunity Pass."
Without a Covid Pass, we may not enter banks or insurance companies, except for essential financial purposes where the service lasts no longer than 15 minutes.
Bubble tea cafe.
Sushi restaurant.
After-work bar.
Latin eatery and salsa club.
All restaurants, cafes, and bars require the Opportunity Pass.
At libraries, my family may only pick up and drop off books. Without a Covid Pass, we may not browse, read, or research.
The library has separate entrances to enforce the segregation. The sign on the main door says: "↑ Only with the Opportunity Pass → Without the Pass"
Until 6 weeks ago, the library was one of my family's favorite activities. Now, my wife and I are banned from entering with our two young children. People with the Pass enter through the main door on the street, scan their Pass, and freely use the library's facilities.
With no Pass, we may not enter the main door. Instead, a series of signs direct us to a service entry behind the driveway: a) "Place for those with no Pass" b) "Pick-up/drop-off point for pre-ordered books (no Pass). Enter one at a time. Wear mask. Max 15 mins per person."
The final destination for those of us with no Pass is a corridor where we may pick up and drop off books which we order in advance. We must enter one at a time. We sit on the chair while staff get our pre-ordered book. Maximum 15 mins. The sign says: "Book pick-up point."
All this should be global headlines: "Lithuania bans citizens from society! Other EU countries following soon!" But there's scant reporting about this fundamental transformation in society. Or about the segregation and authoritarianism which has been the inevitable result.
Lithuania's Covid Pass started in May as a temporary measure. The goal: "facilitate economic activity". In August, the temporary measure to help the economy became a permanent law to banish people from society....
Lithuania's Covid Pass law does not ban specific activities. Instead, it prohibits people without a Pass from all services and economic activities involving human contact. Then, starting from zero rights, it grants us limited permissions such as buying food in small shops.
This is an inversion of universal rights. In a free society, you can do whatever you want, unless the law prohibits you. Under Lithuania's new Covid Pass regime, it's inverted: you can't do anything, unless a bureaucrat allows you....
The rules are petty, abstruse. They've been changed dozens of times in the two months of the Pass. Bureaucrats themselves don't agree with each other about how to apply the law. But the punishment if you don't comply properly? Severe.
Virtually every business complies with the Pass. Enforcement is strict. There are no alternatives. Even those who might oppose the Pass acquiesce with a sheepish submissiveness. What else can you do? With no Pass, you can't work, shop, or exist in society. Coercion works....
The law created in August allowed us non-Pass holders to buy food and medicine in small shops. Four days ago, bureaucrats imposed a new restriction on these shops: either limit capacity to only one customer per 30 square meters, or ban people without a Pass.
Complying with the 30 square meter rule would cause a massive reduction in a store's customer traffic. For a typical convenience store, the new restriction would mean only 2 or 3 shoppers at a time. For most pharmacies, it would mean only one customer allowed inside at a time.
The bureaucrats' new restriction forces small stores to decide: save their own business, or block us non-Pass holders from the only shopping still permitted to us.
The increase in coercion takes from my family the few shopping options we still had. But it does not confer morality. What was wrong before is still wrong now. So we'll be buying all our supplies from outdoor markets this winter. No Pass required. For now, at least.
Re-vaccination began in Sept. for seniors and healthcare workers, expanding in Oct. to all adults. Officials plan 4th and 5th boosters afterwards and strongly hint that boosters will be mandatory for the Pass in Lithuania and the EU. The Pass must be renewed every 60 days.
Revoking some freedoms has opened the door to revoke more. As the Covid Pass regime has become entrenched, the banishment and segregation it mandates has unleashed an authoritarian fervor to also ban free speech and stifle dissent.
Principled opposition is stigmatized. Honest debate is dismissed as conspiracy theories. The entire media universe in our country now openly works with politicians to ban dissent. We're losing the freedom to say what our rulers do not want to hear....
To see liberty's loss is heart-wrenching for my wife and me. We cry for our land, twisted into a regime of control and segregation. We cry for our neighbors, as we watch fear close their eyes to the path they walk back to an authoritarianism we overcame only 30 years ago.
We cry for our children, as the freedoms they have known in their short lives are ripped from them. And we cry for our unborn child, who we worry will never know a world where strangers interact freely without suspicion, fear, and government control....
QR code to shop. Covid Pass to work. Bureaucrats' approval to buy food, toys, clothes. Segregated libraries and banks. Ever increasing coercion. And if you don't comply: banishment. This is the world which the Covid Pass inevitably creates. Is this the world you want?
Thanks, Mark, for another astute synopsis of the manufactured pandemonium used to manipulate the masses into salivating compliance. (Oh, but didn’t you know, things would have been *so much worse* had we not submitted to all of those authoritarian policies? ;-)
Do you have a link to the David Martin video you mention?
Also, in addition to your excellent points about the obfuscation of vaxx deaths by massaging the ways the numbers are counted, I have heard from nurses at my local hospital that anyone who has only received one injection was tallied as “unvaccinated” *and* anyone who was injected at a facility outside the Asante system was also counted as “unvaccinated” because their vaxx status didn’t show up in their records.
One of my Australian subscribers, a former principal researcher for Queensland Health, prepared an exhaustive report on PCR tests to accompany a petition (as well as reports on masks and lockdowns). I link to all three reports in the Petitions section in the Down Under Edition of my Recommendations Roundup (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/recommendations-roundup-2-down-under-41b). I highly recommend downloading them as they are replete with extensive scientific references and provide more than ample evidence of the problems associated with all three practices.
Your description of the timeshare salesman makes me think of “Glengarry Glenn Ross.”… “Always be closing” (hmm, takes on new meaning in light of Alec Baldwin’s recent “mistake”).
“Let’s do more of what failed the first time.” Exactly. The definition of insanity!
I am so sorry to hear that you, too, are being threatened with loss of your job for not complying. I would hope that you could join with a critical mass of fellow workers to call their bluff (as in this delightful example by a construction worker: https://www.bitchute.com/video/1A1Zs8dh15Pd/), but if not, please submit a religious exemption if you can (I’ve heard all legal cases where employers have denied those have failed in court) or find a lawyer who’s willing to take this on pro bono or something. We need to make this as uncomfortable as possible for employers who are deploying these mafioso tactics to enforce a phantom mandate.
P.S. One editorial suggestion: When you say, “They tend to be in good physical condition,” I know you mean the non-vaxxers, but since it’s an ambiguous antecedent, you may want to clarify that. The easiest solution would be to elide the two sentences: “non-vaxxers, who tend…”
Excellent summation. Sorry to learn about your job. The whole agenda is much deeper and darker than something so inane as profit, though I’m sure that’s easier to swallow than the truth of their goals. Best to you.
Well written and nice to read. I too am reaching a critical point as a physician - where I have to decide to just retire or take the jab. Without a doubt - the decision to jab children will be the biggest public health blunder ever in the history of our country. Thousands of children - perhaps 10's of thousands will have permanent cardiac damage and shortened life.
The lesson here is a critical one - you cannot let the government run healthcare. We need a way to bring checks in balance into this system - and now it doesnt exist.
Your point about the generally healthier state of people who decide not to get the jab is a very good one. It’s what happens when people are allowed to weigh the pros and cons of the jab based on their own personal health status. Not only do the healthier take up less healthcare resources overall, but in the end if they get the CV19 they obtain far superior natural immunity that actually moves humanity towards herd immunity. (Because they are so leaky, “vaccines” cannot produce herd immunity.). I would, thus, argue that it is actually selfish for healthy individuals to get the “vaccines.” It is more beneficial for society for us to get natural immunity.
Hi Mark, thank you for sharing important content, I have also stumbled on a piece of evidence which shows that this so called pandemic is a premeditated simulation, I have also published a 6parts paper/book on my page, and , if you can manage to get through my pore english, you will find out things which you may not yet know about it.
If you find my writings to hard to read, just skip them and look at the first screen shot of my “pt1 Letters from the edge of dystopia” you will find there also the explanation on how to get to the original document.
If you manage to het through my writings, let me know what you think about it

Re-vaccination began in Sept. for seniors and healthcare workers, expanding in Oct. to all adults. Officials plan 4th and 5th boosters afterwards and strongly hint that boosters will be mandatory for the Pass in Lithuania and the EU. The Pass must be renewed every 60 days.
Revoking some freedoms has opened the door to revoke more. As the Covid Pass regime has become entrenched, the banishment and segregation it mandates has unleashed an authoritarian fervor to also ban free speech and stifle dissent.
Principled opposition is stigmatized. Honest debate is dismissed as conspiracy theories. The entire media universe in our country now openly works with politicians to ban dissent. We're losing the freedom to say what our rulers do not want to hear....
To see liberty's loss is heart-wrenching for my wife and me. We cry for our land, twisted into a regime of control and segregation. We cry for our neighbors, as we watch fear close their eyes to the path they walk back to an authoritarianism we overcame only 30 years ago.
We cry for our children, as the freedoms they have known in their short lives are ripped from them. And we cry for our unborn child, who we worry will never know a world where strangers interact freely without suspicion, fear, and government control....
QR code to shop. Covid Pass to work. Bureaucrats' approval to buy food, toys, clothes. Segregated libraries and banks. Ever increasing coercion. And if you don't comply: banishment. This is the world which the Covid Pass inevitably creates. Is this the world you want?
Thanks, Mark, for another astute synopsis of the manufactured pandemonium used to manipulate the masses into salivating compliance. (Oh, but didn’t you know, things would have been *so much worse* had we not submitted to all of those authoritarian policies? ;-)
Do you have a link to the David Martin video you mention?
Also, in addition to your excellent points about the obfuscation of vaxx deaths by massaging the ways the numbers are counted, I have heard from nurses at my local hospital that anyone who has only received one injection was tallied as “unvaccinated” *and* anyone who was injected at a facility outside the Asante system was also counted as “unvaccinated” because their vaxx status didn’t show up in their records.
One of my Australian subscribers, a former principal researcher for Queensland Health, prepared an exhaustive report on PCR tests to accompany a petition (as well as reports on masks and lockdowns). I link to all three reports in the Petitions section in the Down Under Edition of my Recommendations Roundup (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/recommendations-roundup-2-down-under-41b). I highly recommend downloading them as they are replete with extensive scientific references and provide more than ample evidence of the problems associated with all three practices.
Your description of the timeshare salesman makes me think of “Glengarry Glenn Ross.”… “Always be closing” (hmm, takes on new meaning in light of Alec Baldwin’s recent “mistake”).
“Let’s do more of what failed the first time.” Exactly. The definition of insanity!
I am so sorry to hear that you, too, are being threatened with loss of your job for not complying. I would hope that you could join with a critical mass of fellow workers to call their bluff (as in this delightful example by a construction worker: https://www.bitchute.com/video/1A1Zs8dh15Pd/), but if not, please submit a religious exemption if you can (I’ve heard all legal cases where employers have denied those have failed in court) or find a lawyer who’s willing to take this on pro bono or something. We need to make this as uncomfortable as possible for employers who are deploying these mafioso tactics to enforce a phantom mandate.
P.S. One editorial suggestion: When you say, “They tend to be in good physical condition,” I know you mean the non-vaxxers, but since it’s an ambiguous antecedent, you may want to clarify that. The easiest solution would be to elide the two sentences: “non-vaxxers, who tend…”
Excellent summation. Sorry to learn about your job. The whole agenda is much deeper and darker than something so inane as profit, though I’m sure that’s easier to swallow than the truth of their goals. Best to you.
Well written and nice to read. I too am reaching a critical point as a physician - where I have to decide to just retire or take the jab. Without a doubt - the decision to jab children will be the biggest public health blunder ever in the history of our country. Thousands of children - perhaps 10's of thousands will have permanent cardiac damage and shortened life.
The lesson here is a critical one - you cannot let the government run healthcare. We need a way to bring checks in balance into this system - and now it doesnt exist.
Sorry about your job loss.
My wife is going to lose hers on Nov 30, I expect to be pushed out after the first of the year.
Stay strong.
seriously impressed by this piece. well done!
Good one.
Try to read my “pt4 letters from the edge of dystopia”
The reasons behind this madness are far more nefarious than you can possibly immagine.
Thanks for sharing.
Another well-done piece! So sorry about your job! I hope you can find a legal group to sue the sh-t out of your employer!
Your point about the generally healthier state of people who decide not to get the jab is a very good one. It’s what happens when people are allowed to weigh the pros and cons of the jab based on their own personal health status. Not only do the healthier take up less healthcare resources overall, but in the end if they get the CV19 they obtain far superior natural immunity that actually moves humanity towards herd immunity. (Because they are so leaky, “vaccines” cannot produce herd immunity.). I would, thus, argue that it is actually selfish for healthy individuals to get the “vaccines.” It is more beneficial for society for us to get natural immunity.
Hi Mark, thank you for sharing important content, I have also stumbled on a piece of evidence which shows that this so called pandemic is a premeditated simulation, I have also published a 6parts paper/book on my page, and , if you can manage to get through my pore english, you will find out things which you may not yet know about it.
If you find my writings to hard to read, just skip them and look at the first screen shot of my “pt1 Letters from the edge of dystopia” you will find there also the explanation on how to get to the original document.
If you manage to het through my writings, let me know what you think about it
Keep up the good work.
Sol
Especially liked the fire extinguisher analogy too.
Thanks, Sol. I will check that out.
