During law school, Professor Alan Hyde, whose office adjoined that of a professor for whom I did research, displayed a multi-paneled Sunday cartoon on his door. The cartoon depicted two students at adjacent desks with their heads down, feverishly taking notes as an unseen professor makes a series of increasingly outlandish statements, one in each panel. The prof is implicitly mocking the students for their credulous passivity.
There is a large community of people who did not participate in the pandemic measures. This group is the Amish and could be studied. In the fall of 2020, after hosting Thanksgiving dinner with 23 people, I met with my Amish roofing contractor at one of our rental properties. I sheepishly told him about our gathering and he laughed, stating he had just attended a wedding with 700 people. I would be tempted to write about their response as I have friends in the community, but I would have deep concerns about the attention this would draw. I could never do anything to compromise their status in the community, nor the hands-off attitude they enjoy from the government. So, most will never know how this sub-group accomplished a perfectly normal response to what they considered to be just another seasonal virus.
The best moments of 2020 for me were attending draft horse shows in the heart of rural Indiana Amish country. Nobody wore stinking masks, nobody cared. Caution tape meant to limit how closely people could sit together was torn down or casually ignored, “social distancing” signs were trampled, not even out of disdain or malice, they just didn’t matter. I cried coming home afterwards because there were still people who valued their, and others, humanity.
There was a show early in the summer, and then in September, because there was literally no other venue in the country able or willing to host it, the World Finals. Which are now held there every year.
It was the same here in Lancaster County, PA. They simply conducted themselves in their traditional manner of non-conformity. It was a natural response, and so refreshing to those of us developing serious doubts about all the dictates.
We're not Amish but we had a HS grad party for my daughter in June 2020 and then attended a wedding, hosted holidays, etc. I guess I just saw my kids' mental health going South within weeks of the shut down and just said screw it, we're doing it and people can all make their own decisions. Turns out a lot of people were happy to join in! (we're in AZ - it's the wild wild West haha) No masks of course. Turns out my kids all made it through the pandemic remarkably well.
mine too...:-) kept having family over for holidays. We never masked and are not shotted up. (Arizona rocks...but there are still broken people here that succumbed to the fear pushed on them.)
My wife and I had a group we called the COVID 7 (3 couples and one single guy). While everyone else hid, we went to each other’s homes for dinner, etc. I actually miss that a bit...maybe time to get the band back together.
The Amish, Homeless, and Undocumented Immigrants make up millions of unvaccinated. All of whom at COVID’s peak did not clog up hospitals and are still with us.
The world (and the USA) is full of various religions, sects, cults, gangs, broods, guilds, factions, on it goes… Not all of which were on board with the shots. Funny how, particularly at the height of the shaming, we never heard about them. It never seemed like the punishments for non- compliance ever zeroed in on them. But, Christians assembling! Buncha dumb asses, right? I do not believe Scientologists were on board no matter Tom Cruise’s asinine tirade.
Yes, they could be studied. They could have been studied pre-COVID to compare vaxxed vs non-vaxxed. I think some studies were done, with the results you'd expect. Good luck getting traction with anything that challenges the power structure, no matter how ironclad the evidence. I personally don't care if the Amish are ever studied, or any other studies are done. Studies are mostly junk science. With the well poisoned, you can do a good, honest study and who cares? How do we know it's not lies too? The reality is already obvious. All the institutions are completely controlled by lying thieves. Fight back best you can, and in the meantime live accordingly. Avoid their food, propaganda, and medical care.
Did it not expand many minds? Millions now realize that government and healthcare do not exist for our benefit but are deadly parasitic scams run by power, and that the media does not inform - it programs belief and acquiescence. We had no idea that systematic evil has been calling the shots beyond our awareness. The veil has been lifted. Our childhood has ended.
Nice sentiment. Not sure there are any new converts though. The test will be if/when they reignite the fear. Then we’ll see how many slap their masks back on and roll up their sleeves again.
Those are three excellent observations; 1) "government and healthcare do not exist for our benefit but are deadly parasitic scams run by power", 2) "the media does not inform - it programs belief and acquiescence" and 3) "we had no idea that systematic evil has been calling the shots beyond our awareness". All three statements are absolutely true and the veil has been lifted for many people ... but not for everyone. I personally think observation 2 is the most important. Every so often, I do see actual news on the mainstream "news". However, the actual news is only presented by the media to get people to watch the brainwashing that goes on. The actual news makes people feel informed, as it should. The actual news keeps people watching that propaganda but the true intent of the mainstream news is "to program belief and acquiescence". Very well said!
Yes, "the media does not inform - it programs belief and acquiescence".
The media is the key factor in the structure of Lies that creates our reality. They are 90% owned by the hedge funds that also own everything else - pharma, the defense establishment, both parties, the government, the FED, and the intelligence agencies. With Central Bank Digital Currency they will soon own the money in your pocket.
Ownership only has to be about 10% to secure control past a tipping point. The editors and therefore the reporters print very little that disparages Pharma, covid, the military, the Forever Wars, or the government as that would interfere with their Big Money owners and get them fired. This dynamic also applies to doctors and Healthcare.
The underlying change that started the ball rolling is the massive income inequality that created a massive power inequality because money is power. According to Oxfam data, in 2017 82% of global income went to the top 1%. The real problem people mostly ignore is massive power inequality; they say "It's just the way it is."
With the media in their pocket, Money Power (the root of evil) can program everyone, including governments. Big money can start wars of choice for profit and effectively take over the world and your life. They just have to gin up fear and people willingly kill other people on the other side of the world. It's easy. Scaring people turns them into willing slaves.
Since everyone is well programmed with consistent messaging, which a study found changes brain structure within 2 months, if you break through your cognitive dissonance and see the light the majority will disparage and censor and attack you. It's like trying to stop a Lynch Mob - or Zombies.
Waking up is not easy, yet millions have awoken from deeply layered lifelong programming against the odds; this indicates the operation of Other Power in those who are receptive.
It's not easy to see the complex motivations of power, and then break through the massed formation of people surrounding you while continually dealing with remnants of your cognitive dissonance programming.
But once you see it you can never go back.
Discerning what's true is made more difficult because the media additionally reports true events tangential to the primary working of power and their goal of control. This is the psychological principle of intermittent reinforcement, where the extinction of a belief takes much longer when a bit of truth is presented alongside lies. Pathological liars, Psychopaths, Politicians, and the Media insert truthful details, such as dates and names, to secure your belief.
They too are programmed, they program us unconsciously without evil intent.
Hannah Arendt called this "the banality of evil" - referring to Eichmann - as ordinary, shallow, common, unthinking, a "joiner" - not evil.
What this means is that the majority of people, who believe in the lesser god of a manufactured ideology, can be led by the nose into inhuman acts by excessive Power, leveraged by technology, which has become a semi-conscious, intelligent and purposeful mechanistic entity with non-human values, like cancer or an army or Ai, focused solely on its survival at all costs. There is no conception of Sacrifice for the greater good of humans and it knows not what it does. We call that Evil.
The one thing I’ll always remember is Fauci stating that the incoming administration (Trump and co.) would face a pandemic. How the hell do you know when a pandemic is coming if you didn’t plan it?
And they openly say another one is coming. It’s incredibly transparent. It’s obvious. Pure evil. Why do so many refuse to see what’s going on? Truly boggles my mind.
Another plea from the "Who could have known/Gee, we didn't foresee this" crowd, only in book form. Another attempt to skirt THEIR responsibility in all this BS and sweep it under the rug.
Sorry, for me it's "Never Forget, Never Forgive".
Do I sound bitter, Mark?
p.s. Happy New Year and Best Wishes to you and your family.
I follow Mark Crispin Miller’s updates, but now it’s getting personal - a 50 year old friend with no known health issues just died in his sleep - pretty soon everyone will personally know someone who died suddenly.
About a dozen folks with MS or cancer in their 40s and 2 died. They were all jabbed. Disease onset was sudden and severe. I know hundreds of folks that were unaffected by the jabs. It’s NPC roulette and so I am not playing.
Maybe. But alcohol is a poison that people consume with relatively no visible damage. I don’t drink and appear 20 years younger than all my peers that do. It’s subtle like jab damage.
I do drink (though not to excess) and am constantly told that I look and act years younger than I am. We are complex systems. Maybe it is my genes, maybe the way I eat a fairly healthy, clean diet, maybe it is my active yet not exercise intense lifestyle. Ingested alcohol can be metabolized and removed; not so much this mRNA poison that was injected into bloodstreams.
Once you get jabbed the mRNA technology relocates into every organ system (13.2% in ovaries) causing cells to replicate the toxic Spike protein. A good immune system regenerates and repairs the damage, but restoration is not 100%, tissue can be over- or under-repaired, resulting in fibrosis, ulcers, or cancer. A non-optimal immune system will make a non-optimal repair.
The mRNA technology takes over your cellular machinery and produces the spike protein for up to 15 months. Different from other toxins, an mRNA shot may change DNA through reverse transcription causing specifically targeted damage for the rest of your life. You may get, for example, malignant melanoma, which was up 75% in the UK in 2022. You may get melanoma or something else in 30 years, like an ex-smoker may get lung cancer 30 years later. Was the shot a cause-in-fact, a proximate cause, or a contributory cause? You can't say, but it likely didn't decrease your all-cause mortality unless it saved you from covid.
I'm not so certain that Covid wasn't just the seasonal flu. Big hype around the "bioweapon" supposition, I know. Makes {{{them}}} look more powerful and keeps the commoners in helpless victim consciousness. But what happened to the flu for two years? Did it just mostly step aside for Covid? What BS.
Jab damage will be subtle for the lucky. You can't entirely attribute looking younger than your age to not consuming alcohol. I have 3 brothers, the one who drank until he was homeless, then arrested for robbing a liquor store and hung himself after serving 9 years in Deer Lodge prison looked crazy young for 61 years old. A friend who is a former UCLA gymnast and surfs 3 times a week got jabbed and boosted and had a heart attack last year, and 8 months ago he was diagnosed with cancer, and is no longer very active, but does make it out for his usual two beers on the weekend. Anecdotal stacks up, then lagging data confirms it. I'm glad you look young for your age, and very much hope you're healthy for your age. But the mRNA helped few, hurt many, and there's evil all around it. Period.
It’s basically Russian Roulette - if you have been vaccinated you have to live in fear that every breath could be your last.
If this were a rampant serial killer the press coverage would be non-stop and everyone would be up in arms over who’s next - when in reality what we have is much worse than that and the press still takes payola and provides cover.
I know of no one I can say without a reasonable doubt that has been murdered by mRNA poisons. However, that doesn't mean anything...they are still potentially 100% deadly.
I remember in February when Chinese in Monterey Park near LA started taking temperatures of would be patrons. I was astonished at such ridiculousness and didn't believe anyone would go along with it. I was so naive. Then came the Barrington Declaration which I quickly signed for stating obvious common sense. When the docs were reported as 'fringe' I was no longer naive about the government. I became a dissident.
Let’s not forget the Pfizer vaxxine needed to be stored at -70C (or -158F). Whatever happened to that while they were giving g out shots in the Walgreens parking lot.
The plandemic set off a scatterbomb of confusion that we are still reeling from.
Confusion and its byproduct, division is why we at this late date still suffer under the delusion of a serum posing as a vaccine that - forgetting that it is demonstrably unsafe - simply does not work as advertised.
Despite promises to the contrary the magic elixir never stopped spread nor prevented infection.
After many failures and falsehoods why anyone believes the murky, unquantifiable sorcery of “yeah, but you won’t get as sick” is beyond comprehension.
People thirsty for a miracle lapping up whatever their self-anointed wizards put in front of them I suppose. You can tell they’re smarter than us mortals by all the letters after their names, so we shouldn’t question, right?
Except Kary Mullis was in the same Wizard Club, too. As were others that got excommunicated (or worse) for the heresy of exposing the black magic.
We must only believe the pre-ordained wizards of wonder it seems. The always trustworthy media will direct us to the proper alter.
If hindsight is 20-20 why do we still have PCR testing for definitive diagnosis? mRNA shots? And, fear of variants? These should all have disappeared by now as relics of a disastrous failure. Which they were. And are. And, if people would look up from the fog they would agree they should not be still torturing us.
But they’ve fractured us. Splintered into useless tribes bickering over chemtrails in the air, snake venom in the water, 5G radiation in the atmosphere, no viruses exist… Each tribe clinging white knuckled to their preferred religion.
Meanwhile the train keeps a rollin’. Next stop? Plandemic 2.0.
Legitimizing PCR as a viable diagnostic tool was the key component to keep the panic alive. Still is. Kary invented the test. Kary said it was never intended for definitive diagnosis and wouldn’t work as such. Kary died shortly thereafter. PCR went full steam ahead. Kary? Ignored and silenced. Concidence? Mullis was also deeply critical of climate change.
Slight correction: He didn't invent a PCR 'test'. He invented the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), a technique for producing large quantities of DNA or RNA from a small sample, and he stated that it was not useful as a test for the very reason that it amplifies an insignificant signal.
As Lincoln famously said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
I’ve read the statistic is, if they can sway 1/5 (20%) of a population with insanity the rest will fall in-line. Not necessarily because they’re swayed. Mostly because they abhor arguing. An epidemic of cowardice based apathy.
It's the Hospital treatment protocols that caused so many deaths... not Covld. The only approved treatmennt was give Remdesivir, and when that didn't work, put people on ventilators. And don't clean the vent tubes regularly, so patients will contract Bacterial Pneumonia, while sedated, and die. But wait ! It was Covid, not Bacterial Pneumonia ! Yeah, Sure. Hospitals were paid between $30 & $70K per Covid death. So it sure seems like they set themselves up to be Death Factories. About 1 million dead from Covid. How many of those deaths were 'Hospital Deaths ?
of course they did, but in minuscule numbers compared to hospital deaths. And what I never hear discussed is how Hospitals CANCELLED the 'Patients Bill of Rights' during Covid. Once they claim that you had Covid, they weren't letting you leave, or specify any treatment you'd receive. Want an Ivermectin protocol Like Joe Rogan got that cleared him of severe Covid in 4DAYS !!!! Nope. It wasn't allowed. Clearly, 'the patients bill of rights' was suspended during Covid ! Why hasn't this received greater attention ?
I worked as a nurse during the pandemic and now. My unit was the Covid unit. In 2020 we locked down BEFORE Covid was even in our state. We had zero Covid. But we locked down anyway to “flatten the curve.” Most of my co-workers just went along with it. It made no sense to me why we had to shut down to flatten a curve when the virus wasn’t even here. It makes no sense either way, but that was just the beginning of all the nonsense that would happen in the years to come. Most people recovered and went home. The people who did get the most sick were the very old and already sick, the obese and obese diabetics. There were a few outliers, but there always are. We did not sedate people. They probably did in the icu, I don’t know much about what happened there because we were so busy and most nurses were so on board with masks and testing and everything, I couldn’t get an accurate picture of what was going on. I never saw remdesivir make anyone worse, but it never made anyone better either. I always make sure they actually want it and I tell them if they are on the fence about it that I would not take it myself, but that is rare because many people are still afraid of covid and they want it. We started giving steroids for Covid pretty early on, but the steroids we usually use for respiratory issues are prednisone or solu-medrol. But for Covid we had to use dexamethasone which I had never really seen much before Covid, but all of a sudden, it was the gold standard for Covid. The Covid years were absolutely awful and very lonely. Most of my coworkers and family were terrified and they all supported masking, lockdowns, and vaccines. I am lucky that they weren’t willing to end relationships and they thought it a personal choice, but no matter what I said about how they didn’t need to be afraid, it was like talking to a wall. I told people how I worked with all Covid patients for months/years and they would be fine. But everyone would have a reason for why they were “vulnerable” or the “exception.” It was so weird. The fear still continued even though they had their 1-2 masks on and were “fully” vaccinated. So much craziness and evil. Strained relationships, hysteria, zero common sense, irrational fear. I could go on and on. It was truly horrible.
Your opening story about Professor Hyde reminded me of a "thing" I used to do when April Fool's Day was on a class day. I would mention that President Taft had appointed the first Swedish justice to the Supreme Court who had written an important opinion. The justice's name was Loof Lirpa (April Fool spelled backwards). It was all I could do not to laugh as I watched a roomful of kids write it all down in the notebooks. No one ever questioned me.
I also want to thank you for your analysis of the Nocera/McLean book. I almost bought it. "The Big Fail" was appropriately titled.
Just reading about that stupidity via your takedown of it frustrated and angered me. Thank you for taking that bullet for your readers.
No one should be allowed to get away with that "we didn't know enough" crap. "Covid" was a moral exam, not a medical one, and people like Nocera and McLean scored a big fat zero. They jumped at the first pretext that presented itself to use coercion *for its own sake,* and the fact that they've never recanted proves that they'll do it again in a New York minute.
..."“experts,” doctors,’ teachers’ or authors’ statements as truth"...not gonna happen. You see, the more people trust someone or something, it makes it that much easier for that someone or something to lie, cheat, steal and use propaganda to enforce their agenda. No thanks.
I just got around to this article. I will succeed in my effort to not buy "The Big Fail."
As Mark writes, everything that the public needed to know could have been known by the end of March 2020. Some of us knew all this by then. What we didn't know was that we would be labelled the Bad Guys and would be cancelled, smeared and ignored for trying to speak the truth ... We'll know this next time though.
Annnnnd....on our local County "Health Dept" FB site, they are still pushing shots/masks/hand sanitizer and test kits. When I quoted your paragraph about masks not working, I was given the seatbelt argument...these are the kinds of brains we are dealing with. How in HELL does that even make sense...one guy yelled at me saying "Well let's just all quit wearing seatbelts then!!" and then proceeded to call me a conspiracy theorist. oh boy...nice to know that when I buckle up it's preventing him from getting in an accident and seriously hurt...What. The. F*****!!!!
There is a large community of people who did not participate in the pandemic measures. This group is the Amish and could be studied. In the fall of 2020, after hosting Thanksgiving dinner with 23 people, I met with my Amish roofing contractor at one of our rental properties. I sheepishly told him about our gathering and he laughed, stating he had just attended a wedding with 700 people. I would be tempted to write about their response as I have friends in the community, but I would have deep concerns about the attention this would draw.

Whew! You were really living on the edge!
Thanks for not playing...along.
mine too...:-) kept having family over for holidays. We never masked and are not shotted up. (Arizona rocks...but there are still broken people here that succumbed to the fear pushed on them.)
Oh for sure! and they will continue....but still nothing like what people endured in other states. I got yelled at for no mask in CO in Jan of 22!
My wife and I had a group we called the COVID 7 (3 couples and one single guy). While everyone else hid, we went to each other’s homes for dinner, etc. I actually miss that a bit...maybe time to get the band back together.
The Amish, Homeless, and Undocumented Immigrants make up millions of unvaccinated. All of whom at COVID’s peak did not clog up hospitals and are still with us.
The Hasidim.
Yeah... the vaccines weren't 'Kosher' !!!

Another one for the Amish under attacks today: https://twitter.com/TheLanPatriot/status/1743046495937429533
Unfortunately, Pig Brother is in Amish business. The pigs harass about meat and milk, costing thousands in legal fees
Here’s one example from VA, there’s more in Lancaster: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2023/08/18/golden-valley-farms-n2627121
Thank you...
Let's look at the bright side of the covid years.

Definitely a wake up event/events. 🙏
Nice sentiment. Not sure there are any new converts though. The test will be if/when they reignite the fear. Then we’ll see how many slap their masks back on and roll up their sleeves again.
Could not agree more. Skeptics were then and are now, COVIDians haven’t learned a thing.

p.s. Happy New Year and Best Wishes to you and your family.
Yes, I'm with Margaret Anna Alice, Mistakes Were NOT Made.
Good writing Mark, Scamdemic is the word.
I follow Mark Crispin Miller’s updates, but now it’s getting personal - a 50 year old friend with no known health issues just died in his sleep - pretty soon everyone will personally know someone who died suddenly.
Ugh.
I know a half dozen vaxx-injured people and one who seems to have died from the shots,
About a dozen folks with MS or cancer in their 40s and 2 died. They were all jabbed. Disease onset was sudden and severe. I know hundreds of folks that were unaffected by the jabs. It’s NPC roulette and so I am not playing.
No one is unaffected if they got jabbed. Non acute damage is subclinical.
Maybe. But alcohol is a poison that people consume with relatively no visible damage. I don’t drink and appear 20 years younger than all my peers that do. It’s subtle like jab damage.
I do drink (though not to excess) and am constantly told that I look and act years younger than I am. We are complex systems. Maybe it is my genes, maybe the way I eat a fairly healthy, clean diet, maybe it is my active yet not exercise intense lifestyle. Ingested alcohol can be metabolized and removed; not so much this mRNA poison that was injected into bloodstreams.
Same and same, but my injected friends aged horribly post jab.
Maybe, the orange ball avatar makes it hard to tell

Was the shot a cause-in-fact, a proximate cause, or a contributory cause? You can't say, but it likely didn't decrease your all-cause mortality unless it saved you from covid.
I'm not so certain that Covid wasn't just the seasonal flu. Big hype around the "bioweapon" supposition, I know. Makes {{{them}}} look more powerful and keeps the commoners in helpless victim consciousness. But what happened to the flu for two years? Did it just mostly step aside for Covid? What BS.
Jab damage will be subtle for the lucky. You can't entirely attribute looking younger than your age to not consuming alcohol. I have 3 brothers, the one who drank until he was homeless, then arrested for robbing a liquor store and hung himself after serving 9 years in Deer Lodge prison looked crazy young for 61 years old. A friend who is a former UCLA gymnast and surfs 3 times a week got jabbed and boosted and had a heart attack last year, and 8 months ago he was diagnosed with cancer, and is no longer very active, but does make it out for his usual two beers on the weekend. Anecdotal stacks up, then lagging data confirms it. I'm glad you look young for your age, and very much hope you're healthy for your age. But the mRNA helped few, hurt many, and there's evil all around it. Period.
Steshu if you, a non-drinker, look 20 years younger than your peers that drink, how is that subtle?
They don’t present as sick just aged.
UK data, page 3:
"Our analysis shows that the excess death rates from malignant neoplasms were zero in 2020, +13% in 2021, and about 43% in 2022."

They blame this on not checking for such during the lockdown years. And when anyone died in 2020 they magically called it Covid.
As do I. Most I know personally.
It’s basically Russian Roulette - if you have been vaccinated you have to live in fear that every breath could be your last.
If this were a rampant serial killer the press coverage would be non-stop and everyone would be up in arms over who’s next - when in reality what we have is much worse than that and the press still takes payola and provides cover.
I know of no one I can say without a reasonable doubt that has been murdered by mRNA poisons. However, that doesn't mean anything...they are still potentially 100% deadly.
I follow him, too. I'm sorry for your loss. I sometimes wonder who that "first" will be in my orbit.
I remember in February when Chinese in Monterey Park near LA started taking temperatures of would be patrons. I was astonished at such ridiculousness and didn't believe anyone would go along with it. I was so naive. Then came the Barrington Declaration which I quickly signed for stating obvious common sense. When the docs were reported as 'fringe' I was no longer naive about the government. I became a dissident.
I forgot the temp thing.
Yikes.
Let’s not forget the Pfizer vaxxine needed to be stored at -70C (or -158F). Whatever happened to that while they were giving g out shots in the Walgreens parking lot.
The plandemic set off a scatterbomb of confusion that we are still reeling from.
Confusion and its byproduct, division is why we at this late date still suffer under the delusion of a serum posing as a vaccine that - forgetting that it is demonstrably unsafe - simply does not work as advertised.
Despite promises to the contrary the magic elixir never stopped spread nor prevented infection.
After many failures and falsehoods why anyone believes the murky, unquantifiable sorcery of “yeah, but you won’t get as sick” is beyond comprehension.
People thirsty for a miracle lapping up whatever their self-anointed wizards put in front of them I suppose. You can tell they’re smarter than us mortals by all the letters after their names, so we shouldn’t question, right?
Except Kary Mullis was in the same Wizard Club, too. As were others that got excommunicated (or worse) for the heresy of exposing the black magic.
We must only believe the pre-ordained wizards of wonder it seems. The always trustworthy media will direct us to the proper alter.
If hindsight is 20-20 why do we still have PCR testing for definitive diagnosis? mRNA shots? And, fear of variants? These should all have disappeared by now as relics of a disastrous failure. Which they were. And are. And, if people would look up from the fog they would agree they should not be still torturing us.
But they’ve fractured us. Splintered into useless tribes bickering over chemtrails in the air, snake venom in the water, 5G radiation in the atmosphere, no viruses exist… Each tribe clinging white knuckled to their preferred religion.
Meanwhile the train keeps a rollin’. Next stop? Plandemic 2.0.
At the beginning of thisin March 2020, I looked up the late Kary Mullis.
I instantly liked him.
He always claimed that PCR was never meant to be a diagnostic tool...
And then it became the "gold standard" for diagnostic testing.
He also despised Fauci.
Kary was an "outlier"...
Outspoken, and honest.
Then he passed away, before this madness happened ...
Legitimizing PCR as a viable diagnostic tool was the key component to keep the panic alive. Still is. Kary invented the test. Kary said it was never intended for definitive diagnosis and wouldn’t work as such. Kary died shortly thereafter. PCR went full steam ahead. Kary? Ignored and silenced. Concidence? Mullis was also deeply critical of climate change.
Slight correction: He didn't invent a PCR 'test'. He invented the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), a technique for producing large quantities of DNA or RNA from a small sample, and he stated that it was not useful as a test for the very reason that it amplifies an insignificant signal.
Ok. That’s correct but, like, wow, that’s really splitting hairs. Are you married? 😂
"deeply critical of climate change".
Yep.
Just another reason to like the man...
Agree. He was a great asset. I lament his passing.
As Lincoln famously said, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”
I think the goal is to fool enough so that the unfooled are irrelevant.
You are undoubtedly correct. And perhaps it has ever been thus.
Someone once asked, “If 51% go insane what then is the definition of sanity?”
Sane people are a minority...
I’ve read the statistic is, if they can sway 1/5 (20%) of a population with insanity the rest will fall in-line. Not necessarily because they’re swayed. Mostly because they abhor arguing. An epidemic of cowardice based apathy.
It's the Hospital treatment protocols that caused so many deaths... not Covld. The only approved treatmennt was give Remdesivir, and when that didn't work, put people on ventilators. And don't clean the vent tubes regularly, so patients will contract Bacterial Pneumonia, while sedated, and die. But wait ! It was Covid, not Bacterial Pneumonia ! Yeah, Sure. Hospitals were paid between $30 & $70K per Covid death. So it sure seems like they set themselves up to be Death Factories. About 1 million dead from Covid. How many of those deaths were 'Hospital Deaths ?
Did anyone die of Covid at home?
of course they did, but in minuscule numbers compared to hospital deaths. And what I never hear discussed is how Hospitals CANCELLED the 'Patients Bill of Rights' during Covid. Once they claim that you had Covid, they weren't letting you leave, or specify any treatment you'd receive. Want an Ivermectin protocol Like Joe Rogan got that cleared him of severe Covid in 4DAYS !!!! Nope. It wasn't allowed. Clearly, 'the patients bill of rights' was suspended during Covid ! Why hasn't this received greater attention ?
I worked as a nurse during the pandemic and now. My unit was the Covid unit. In 2020 we locked down BEFORE Covid was even in our state. We had zero Covid. But we locked down anyway to “flatten the curve.” Most of my co-workers just went along with it. It made no sense to me why we had to shut down to flatten a curve when the virus wasn’t even here. It makes no sense either way, but that was just the beginning of all the nonsense that would happen in the years to come. Most people recovered and went home. The people who did get the most sick were the very old and already sick, the obese and obese diabetics. There were a few outliers, but there always are. We did not sedate people. They probably did in the icu, I don’t know much about what happened there because we were so busy and most nurses were so on board with masks and testing and everything, I couldn’t get an accurate picture of what was going on. I never saw remdesivir make anyone worse, but it never made anyone better either. I always make sure they actually want it and I tell them if they are on the fence about it that I would not take it myself, but that is rare because many people are still afraid of covid and they want it. We started giving steroids for Covid pretty early on, but the steroids we usually use for respiratory issues are prednisone or solu-medrol. But for Covid we had to use dexamethasone which I had never really seen much before Covid, but all of a sudden, it was the gold standard for Covid. The Covid years were absolutely awful and very lonely. Most of my coworkers and family were terrified and they all supported masking, lockdowns, and vaccines. I am lucky that they weren’t willing to end relationships and they thought it a personal choice, but no matter what I said about how they didn’t need to be afraid, it was like talking to a wall. I told people how I worked with all Covid patients for months/years and they would be fine. But everyone would have a reason for why they were “vulnerable” or the “exception.” It was so weird. The fear still continued even though they had their 1-2 masks on and were “fully” vaccinated. So much craziness and evil. Strained relationships, hysteria, zero common sense, irrational fear. I could go on and on. It was truly horrible.
Thanks, CGL, for that account.
If you'd like to talk, I'm all ears. Please e-mail me at forecheck32@gmail.com to set up a time.
"I told everyone who would listen how destructive the lockdowns were, and lastingly so. In so doing, I alienated many people."
Naaaah.
You were speaking the truth.
Truth doesn't alienate.
As an aside, went for the dreaded colonoscopy yesterday ( not the procedure, but the 36 hour fast/cleanse beforehand)
Showed up to hospital, unmasked, and at end of registration, was told to grab a mask.(didn't ask me to wear it).
Carried it up to pre-op, and got gowned.
I was asked to put it on in waiting room.
5 minutes later, on a gurney, anaesthetist told me to take mask off to prep.
30 minutes later, I woke up, maskless.
Then I went home to eat...
Why do you trust doctors about colonoscopies when you see how they acted with COVID (and sex-change surgery, and euthanasia, etc., etc.)?
That's easy.
I'm 70, and do it every 5 years.
I always have 3 polyps, but benign.
I lost a friend to colon cancer some 15 years ago.
Colonoscopy is the only procedure I agree to.
And I take no prescription drugs.
Been there. Done that.
Except I was not asked to actually wear the mask I was handed on entering the hospital.
Your opening story about Professor Hyde reminded me of a "thing" I used to do when April Fool's Day was on a class day. I would mention that President Taft had appointed the first Swedish justice to the Supreme Court who had written an important opinion. The justice's name was Loof Lirpa (April Fool spelled backwards). It was all I could do not to laugh as I watched a roomful of kids write it all down in the notebooks. No one ever questioned me.
I also want to thank you for your analysis of the Nocera/McLean book. I almost bought it. "The Big Fail" was appropriately titled.
That's a good one, Mary Ann!
I read it so you won't have to. It's not what its cover suggests.
❤️
Just reading about that stupidity via your takedown of it frustrated and angered me. Thank you for taking that bullet for your readers.
No one should be allowed to get away with that "we didn't know enough" crap. "Covid" was a moral exam, not a medical one, and people like Nocera and McLean scored a big fat zero. They jumped at the first pretext that presented itself to use coercion *for its own sake,* and the fact that they've never recanted proves that they'll do it again in a New York minute.
..."“experts,” doctors,’ teachers’ or authors’ statements as truth"...not gonna happen. You see, the more people trust someone or something, it makes it that much easier for that someone or something to lie, cheat, steal and use propaganda to enforce their agenda. No thanks.
I just got around to this article. I will succeed in my effort to not buy "The Big Fail."
As Mark writes, everything that the public needed to know could have been known by the end of March 2020. Some of us knew all this by then. What we didn't know was that we would be labelled the Bad Guys and would be cancelled, smeared and ignored for trying to speak the truth ... We'll know this next time though.
I don't care if people don't like me. Especially dishonest people.
I've picked up on that about you. I'm the same way.
Annnnnd....on our local County "Health Dept" FB site, they are still pushing shots/masks/hand sanitizer and test kits. When I quoted your paragraph about masks not working, I was given the seatbelt argument...these are the kinds of brains we are dealing with. How in HELL does that even make sense...one guy yelled at me saying "Well let's just all quit wearing seatbelts then!!" and then proceeded to call me a conspiracy theorist. oh boy...nice to know that when I buckle up it's preventing him from getting in an accident and seriously hurt...What. The. F*****!!!!
