That "scientists believe" headline kills me. Science, at this point, is indistinguishable from a religion, complete with a messianic Dr. Fraudci.

In my group of hiking friends, 3 men have had increased heart issues over the last 6ish months. One will no longer hike anything with elevation increase, one is getting a stent soon and the other is walking greenways more than hiking. Prior to this, the latter hiked between 89-100 miles a month. For a fairly healthy, active group of people, I’m sad to say there are only two of us pure bloods.

Two things here: First, we have been teaching our "expert" class for years that they can tell us anything and we will swallow it hook, line, and sinker, so this is partly our fault. We have been treating politics like religion and following people blindly because they say what we want to hear rather than understanding that with freedom comes the responsibility to think for yourself and judge people on their actions, not their words (or an other arbitrary quality). And so they've gotten away with tripe like this, not only with COVID, but with many other issues. And at this point, especially with people like Fauci, it shouldn't be their careers on the line, but their freedom. Prison is the place Fauci should die, not his cushy little home.

Second: This is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Who isolated all these younger people during COVID? Who caused all this stress? It wasn't the virus. The virus just is. It was the same people who are trying to gaslight us now. But either way, meaning even if what they say has an element of truth, they are responsible. The very people most affected by "post-pandemic stress" would not have been affected by the virus, and it was on them to find a policy that would thread the needle, so to speak. We pay these people a lot of money and put a lot of faith in them, and if their policies created that much emotional damage, the onus is still on them, and Fauci should still spend the rest of his miserable life rotting in jail.

One of the major sins of this entire affair is the damage being done to the words “science”, “scientist”, “expert” and “public health”. As the truths come out, more and more people will feel betrayed. More and more will not trust these words again.

And that is a shame.

On the flip side, I can only pray this leads more and more people to critical thinking and doing their own “fact checking”, rather than outsourcing that to Big Media and Big Tech.

The cat is out the bag. The collapse is imminent. I can taste it.

"During the deacades Dr Fauci took over NIAID, he has sanctioned drug companies to experiment on at least fourteen thousand children, many of them Black and Hispanic orphans living in foster homes..."

The government's solution to widespread social alienation? More social alienation. It's like flushing a clogged toilet. Even if they want to say vaccines are not the cause of worse health outcomes, the vaccine mandates most certainly are. The terrible public health officials need to realize that our health is not public.

So, are we finally done saying that they're well-intended but stupid bureaucrats and stop demonizing those of us who had the sense to see evil for what it is, and hate it accordingly?

Let me know when the moral high ground of the covid skepticism community allows us to actually call our enemies enemies.

You know, propagandists were tried for war crimes after WWII. Just sayin'.

So for those journalists putting out these cover-up articles, you might want to think twice before putting your name on the byline. Are you getting paid enough to spew this crap? Maybe you should get a job at starbucks until this thing blows over.

I get daily emails from WebMD. Almost everyday now there is one on heart attacks or cardiovascular events. The gaslighting permeates everything.

"a line across which one becomes deliberately pernicious and predatory and seeks to lie to save their own hide at the expense of others."

That line was crossed long ago.

"it is calculated and deliberate. they literally hired a whole pile of behavioral economists to learn how to do it"

There's actually a much more sinister rabbit hole to go down regarding this story:

"SIN France organises first UK-France bilateral workshop on Behavioural Science at Paris British Embassy"

"On 7 February 2019, the Paris British Embassy’s SIN team organised the “Influencing Behaviours through Science: UK-France Perspectives” workshop at the British Ambassador’s Residence.....It is thanks to a HMA Paris-hosted dinner in September 2017 that this workshop came about. The September 2017 dinner, in honour of Chris Whitty, Chief Scientific Adviser to the Department of Health and Social care, gathered several French health experts from government, policy, academia and industry. The dinner bore fruit in three particular areas: genomics, health data sharing and behavioural science."

I don't know if there is enough evidence here to suggest malice of forethought, but they have been working on this for quite some time.

Gracias, Gato.

I can’t wait for those, telling the ongoing lies, to start turning on one another. It will happen, because that is what humans do.

Please read today’s Hart Group’s newsletter an outstanding article by a UK GP. They are seeing an onslaught of adverse events, they have been gagged. And for all of us who might have thought the GP’s were not witnessing the horrendous outcomes of the koolaid, it is all there for everyone to read. Brought to you by a brave GP just telling it like it is. Hart Group is on Twitter.

Right? I saw this article linked on Twitter this a.m., and I just about fell off of my chair (now I'm singing Lobo in my head). I thought it a parody at first.

The article's "psychological therapist" is quoted, blaming "post-pandemic" stress disorder as the cause. Another surgeon chimes in with this: “I’ve seen a big increase in thrombotic-related vascular conditions in my practice. Far younger patients are being admitted and requiring surgical and medical intervention than prior to the pandemic.“I believe many of these cases are a direct result of the increased stress and anxiety levels caused from the effects of PPSD."

Next, the author interjects: "PPSD is a mental health condition induced by the pandemic. While it is not yet officially recognised, many experts believe it should be." So not even an official diagnosis (for all that's worth).

I'm going to use the article in question to test some friends. I will email it and ask them to tell me what is wrong with the article. If they don't see it, I will assume they remain under Fauci's spell.

“Post” pandemic stress disorder?
