This is peak Gato! I like all his stuff, but some of his commentaries are just really, really on point. This encapsulates so much of what has gone wrong in this pandemic, and why the underlying issues dovetail so much with other issues like 2020 election security, climate, and so many others.

Those that are now public health skeptics are naturally skeptics about all the mainstream narratives. I was never a big public health authority critic, but my eyes are open now and it makes me sad that the corruption is so undeniable. The pandemic has been a massive stress test on our institutions and they have failed massively, which we had better take as a warning.

Every red state needs a COVID bill like the one just passed in Tennessee.

Gato should really take all these columns and distill them into a book. Under his pen name and with capital letters even. It would be dynamite and maybe help get the message out to more folks, in the articulate and compelling style he is so go at.

Yes, this post is excellent . Ties together a number of themes and highlights the plight of the poor fellow with the science degrees whose kid got run over and thrown to the curb. Too bad not more attention paid to this sort of thing.

That twitter thread was fantastic! I think Emilyjo is a mother and I felt bad for her because she got completely played by the forces Gato talked about. She fell for the narrative and thought her kids were at significant risk from COVID and getting them vaxxed ASAP was the best thing she could possibly do to keep them safe. How many victims like that are there our there?

Yes. It is heartbreaking to see the way parents react. They do not realize that the chances of having their children have a severe complication or death from covid are like hitting the lottery twice. First they have to catch covid, then be one of the 0.001% who dies. So they fall for the fearmongering and give their children the shot. Once you take the shot...

But it was reported, even in the main stream media!, that children had a low death / side effects rate! Did the parents forget this?

You can’t fix stupid.

It really is. To have your child sick to that degree. And then to have people mock you and such. It’s terrible.

I think one silver lining will be a much larger portion of the population that is more awake to a great many things. I never questioned the vaccine schedule, now I think all of it needs a hard look.
