Nice! So glad you're getting these out there. I like long-haul TDS. And FWIW I never voted for Trump and am now one of those 15% of voters who is never going back to the Democrats. Trump's vulgarity pales in comparison to their unforgivable cruelty and stupidity.

"What Dems do not seem to realize is that the 15% of voters who they have lost over the last year because of vaccine mandates, are never coming back." Damn straight! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing! This was my fav on Twitter recently:

Seinfeld Today: Elaine spends six hours in a testing line, Jerry finds his new girlfriend less attractive with a mask off, George attends an anti-vax rally so he can get "super-immunity," and Kramer hoards rapid tests.

I love this, but may I add a bit? Kramer opens his own testing site inside his apartment charging outrageous fees. Jerry confronts Kramer about attracting tons of infected people into their building and spreading disease everywhere. George overhears the argument and immediately invites his parents over for a party! It's the perfect plan to keep Frank & Estelle out of George's personal business. 🤣

Those are some great posts. The best observation is the Jan 5 post where you note people are acting as battered spouses. Truth. We are being abused. And I laughed at the picture of mark z on the booster. Thank you.

Yes! My fave quote as well!

I now know what it is like to live in a frankly delusional cultural moment, where the majority of the populace agrees to interpret all perceptions/observations from w/i a lock-tight narrative, functioning within an agreement that up is down, chickens are tigers & salt is sweet. I never really experienced full-blown whole-culture-enfolding delusion until this moment. Previously only experienced it as historical record, or in my time, as played out by sub-group echo chambers.

"Why is the NFL covering up the fact that they are successfully using ivermectin to cover up vaccine failure?"

In one of Pierre Kory's interviews he states that more than 200 members of Congress have contacted him for ivermectin prescriptions.

The real question is why these coward bastards don't act in their capacity to make a positive change?!!

Wow - wonder why he would oblige without making them change the course they've been on at a little bit to protect the people they serve in addition to themselves.

No he's not. It's been "bad manners" for a while in the PC crowd. See George Carlin getting the award at the "National Press Club".

Thanks, uTobian. One of our main proponents for vax at our university has pinned a tweet of some psychology prof at NYU decrying mass formation. He also completely poo-poos vaers as dumpster diving, rounds on colleagues who so much as whisper ivermectin (they recently mobbed and intimidated a fellow lecturer who said she was grateful that ivermectin saved her husband), and generally perpetuates the anti-vaxxer hatred. If any of you dear people (especially statisticians, as he is an actuary) have any strength to try and counter this, I would be deeply appreciative. I am so demoralised and, quite frankly, scared. The problem is that UCT is trying to act as a top-down force to start a cascade of mandates in South Africa, which is going to be disastrous for the South African good news narrative and the concept of prior-infection immunity. So, I'm just putting it out here with a prayer. Look up UCT and TomTom. Almost afraid to even say the name, I'm that Voldemorted, in case any of them follow me here.

Maek Crispin Miller is the NYU professor, who actually thinks for himself. For VARRS there are over 1.5 million reports on file and only 2 fake ones, one of those done by a troll trying to discredit VAERS. (listen to Steve Kirsch on health freedom for humanity for that data; and he is a data analyst by trade). Putting a fake report on VAERS is a federal offense, so few do it and that site is federally monitored. VAERS actually has been proven to under report by a factor between ten and a hundred(from a HARVARD MEDICAL STUDY commissioned and accepted by HHS. Ivermectin is on the WHO list of essential medications and won a Nobel. It has both human and veterinary forms, as do anti -bitics, analgesics, corticosteroids etc.

Thanks, Joe! That is very useful information, indeed. I have seen smatterings of this info here and there, but it's kind of you to collate it for me. I'm just so emotionally drained at the prospect of facing an exemption "jury" and petty arbiters of my employment fate that I succumb occasionally to moments of despair.

These are awesome. I snorted a couple of times. So thank you for the laugh.

Another dumb comment from a colleague:when I told him, in the first month of the vax rollout,(we are frontline and over 60 so were first eligible) that the shots were mRNA based, experimental EUA only. He did not know about the mRNA or know what EUA was. He grinned and said, “No, it’s a vaccine “. Meaningless Rachel Maddow type drivel.

Expand full comment

I've heard this, too. This is a vaccine just like the thing that boy back in high school felt for me was "love." And I was too smart to let him get his "vaccine" anywhere near me.

Why would China not show purple in the chart for global hot spots when it shows up dark green as one of the most vaccinated countries in global vaccinations?

https://2ndsmartestguyintheworld.substack.com/p/weird-chart-looking-at-it-one-would

Possibly this?

Both the Chinese vaccines are inactivated vaccines, which use killed SARS-CoV-2 virus. Researchers say this type of vaccine seems to be less potent because it triggers an immune response against many viral proteins. By contrast, mRNA and viral-vector vaccines target the response to the spike protein, which is what the virus uses to enter human cells.

Gotta keep the agenda going with those mRNA jabs!

I am one of those lifetime democrats who switched, because the one burning issue now is forced vaccinations, and the republicans are the only ones fighting back. Even RFKjr often sides with republicans now, as an open minded person should side with right over wrong.

Big sigh, like Del said, I am politically unmoored - I say I’m a political orphan. I no longer take it as an offense when someone says the dems are messing up because they are. However as it was pointed out by Forrest Maready, only a few congressional republicans are stepping up.

Great article, as usual! I'm not on social media so this really hit the right notes for me, of information and entertainment. I don't know how we'll survive this insanity without some good laughs every day.

Covid is not an epidemiological story it's a crime story.

Every new virus variant is a new income stream for fat Pharma corporations.

The eyes yield nothing without the face. Eyes above masks look like those of cattle caught in the pen, or sheep being sheared - ocular orbs of dull emptiness, subverted humanity.

Fauci is a corrupt bureaucratic toadboy for Big Pharma

Gates is a silver spoon criminal psychopath

Both profit from mRNA experimental injections

Are the human guinea pigs gettin' it yet?

Lockdown was not a well-intentioned “mistake.” Causing famine for millions of people isn’t a “mistake.” Killing cancer patients through late diagnosis isn’t a “mistake.” Making children afraid of maskless faces isn’t a “mistake.” These are crimes, let’s call them what they are.

The biggest fraud in history might be the medical industrial complex. For the past 100 year or more they've been claiming the credit for things that builders, sewerage workers, water treatment plants, gutter designers, roofers, fridge inventors, electricians etc have created.

‘COVID-denier’, ‘vaccine hesitant’, ‘anti-mask’, ‘conspiracy theorist’: these are the accusations of hysterics in our global staging of the Salem witch trials, in which COVID-19 is the devil seen everywhere by every coward hoping to save his own skin.
