Absolutely. I used to scoff at Jenny McCarthy and the anti-vaxxers, and even people who used the term Big Pharma. I would think, how can you go against the overwhelming majority of medical professionals? And I would say, it costs alot of money to develop the best drugs in the world. Now I know that med professionals are all bought and paid for, and Big Pharma actively stands in the way of cheap effective alternatives.
That is part of the unintended backlash/reaction to the vaxx mandates. I've seen more people who never, ever questioned vaccines are now thinking "maybe the anti-vaxxers were right". This includes some people who got this C19 vaxx.
I'm actually going to apologize to an anti-vaxxer former friend. While I had other, much larger issues with her, I'm certainly mature enough to admit I was wrong not to give the subject the thorough investigation I usually do.
Definitely agree. My mom has always scoffed at the flu vaccine and for many years I laughed at her. Now I’ve started digging into it and I probably will never get one again.
The same is true of childhood vaccines I’ve given all three of my kids. My daughter just had a horrible reaction to the rotavirus vaccine (self diagnosed of course because I doubt her pediatrician would say anything other than “maybe so but probably just a virus.”) With some digging I’ve realized that this is a fairly common reaction. But after nine doses to three different kids over the last five years, not one medical professional has ever mentioned a thing to me. Unthinkable.
Good to hear. None of my friends or family have expressed regret yet, but I hope they will admit soon that they were lied to about the vaxx being their ticket to normalcy. I mean, how can one not realize it when you are now being told you still need to wear masks and you already need a booster?
There's a lot of ego involved. As much as I try to share some hard data with my sister, she insists they are safe. At this point, all I care about is for all mandates to be removed. All VAERS reports would need to be audited thoroughly as well as an independent commission focus on AUTOPSIES of all deaths within 48 hrs of the shots.
Thousands of families with vax-injured kids have known this all along. The issue was never to deny the value of real vaccines but to acknowledge that injuries ARE REAL and need to be addressed. The best way forward would be to eliminate the 1996 law that protects manufacturers from liability. As it is, the CDC & FDA arw captured agencies that serve Big Pharma at the expense of thousands of vax-injured people.
That was a really superficial comment. I'm in my late-afternoon empty stomach low-attention span mode. What I should have added is, it amazes me that painting anti-vaxxers as irrational could even be possible given the flagrantly unscientific, superstitious, reckless, and deviant nature of vaccine history.
This was also me. I didn't scoff at them.. but certainly assumed they were "wrong". Didn't realize that we were as a society victim shaming. There's little benefit.. way more to lose speaking out like Jenny McCarthy or Robert F Kennedy Jr have done. They're mocked, vilified and have lost family, friends, job opportunities. Some might argue that they can have a niche following and profit from that.. but if you listen to "anti-vaxxer" stories they're almost always a personal loss or injury - usually children. Who are we to judge what a mother feels has happened to her child. Even if we disagree - to mock a mother's pain is heartless society at its worst. If we treat everybody with compassion.. ask questions and stop making assumptions.. we might just get to the other side better off than we were before.
Worse yet is how they're attacking and discrediting reputable medical professionals and scientists trying hard to sound the alarm and asking for all vax to be halted. Drs. McCullough, Fleming, Kory, Zelenko, Bridle, and many others. THAT'S how you uncover the corruption. If you're on Telegram, check out Dr. Reiner Fuellmich for the 100s of interviews he's done with very bright and competent doctors and researchers.
My wife convinced me to not vaccinate our kids 5 years ago, I was very hesitant about it initially, but now I'm really glad that she did. Our kids are so much healthier than their cousins, it's pretty crazy.
Look at Dr. Paul Thomas' study. He lost his license after publishing the study showing the data from his practice of 15000 patients. He practiced Informed Consent. His healthier patients are those unvaxxed or woth alternative vax schedules. In the meantime, Pfizer is now pushing its toxic jabs on our littles (5-11 year olds).
There are studies that look into this but they're hard to find. There's SO much more data needed but certainly a fascinating topic. I dug in deep last year and watched this 9 hour video a couple times (I watch everything on 1.5x+) and highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFTsd042M3o
First they screwed the patient out of a potentially lifesaving drug trial. The paperwork was submitted on time, with signature receipts but it sat on some hack's desk and didn't get time stamped until after the deadline.
So pts attorney filed for compassionate use.
They denied, and said they couldn't tell them why they were denying, but to re-apply in six months and they would probably get approved.
Attorney: "But without this my client will be dead in six months."
Popular sentiment at NYC protest opposing mandates & passports Times Square last Saturday. Poster: "Covid is a true killer. So far it's killed the flu, cancer, heart disease - it killed the ability to think, logic & common sense. It killed the economy, the working class & millions of jobs. It killed millions of businesses, human connection, love and compassion."
I think we who have changed our views on the med community can cite several events or data points as to why, but here are my top 2:
1) A pro vaccine doctor friend of mine says his hospital got a missive from their state licensing board that threatened their licenses if the discuss anything adverse about the vaccines with patients. Chilling.
2) My doc tried to hard sell me on the vaxx. Told me I was wrong, literally made fun on the VAERS reports, said there was no reason not to get it and "everybody should get it." Unbelievable callousness toward real side effects and a total violation of the Hippocratic oath. He disgusts me on a personal level, but professionally what I saw was either a groupthinking ignoramus or a simple shill for Big Pharma. I'm done trusting them.
Mine was the uncompromising insistence that the vaxx is 100% safe and effective for everyone and the fact that it was created in less than a year is an irrelevant point that is anti-science. Even when I had the disagreement with my old-school anti-vaxx friend I was never in support of mandates or life-altering punishments. Nothing, not one single thing, that we insert into our bodies whether food or medicine is 100% safe for everybody, all the time and certainly not under penalty of poverty if one refuses.
My husband’s doc didn’t blink and didn’t care that he’s not vaxxed. I know of several people who got Covid and it was mild. An acquaintance got a breakthrough case and she is convinced it would have been worse were it not for the vax. I’m not so sure.
My wife and I are changing doctors, after 20 years, to one who was recommended by friends who feel the same way we do about the vaccines—which is that they may be good for some but not for all and ought in any case to be a personal choice. I’m not going to be hectored into doing something I don’t feel comfortable with. (Although I might be open to persuasion, if anyone cared to try that route rather than badgering, shaming, and threatening. I don’t respond well to any of those tactics.)
Same, honestly I don’t feel like taking my kids for their annual check up, I may skip and Here in CA is worse because when your kid is 12 they don’t have to disclose the kids medical history anymore
And CA removed all exemptions except for medical a few years back. I'm in Oregon, not so different bit we still have religious exemption whicb I used for my kids. Unfortunately, they're going after my now teenagers by blocking access to all of life's pleasures: concerts, college, sports next... This administration has turned a once loyal Democrat into Republican. I'm now a ONE ISSUE voter- medical freedom all the way.
"The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it.

Whenever someone or some group claims to be disinterestedly acting for “social justice”, or “the poor”, or for “the children”, view them with an especially wary eye and grab your wallet…
Always ask, “Cui Bono?” regarding the policies they push (purportedly altruistically).
Thanks! The marginal cost of participating on Twitter is higher than the marginal benefit, for me at least, even though I like and respect a good number of people there.
I would just encourage everyone to read what the Bad Cat has to write here, and AJ Kay, and several others who still believe in Reason and Human Freedom. Feline Freedom too.
Right. They told us once before that if people got vaxxed, they could doff the mask. CDC and co. are Lucy, normalcy is the football, and we’re all Charlie Brown.
They have no authority over children. Parents need to homeschool. Those who don't will suffer the consequences of declined mental health for their children
Fab find! Following the money always an eye opener. Folks would be shocked to learn that many official mouthpieces like AMA are not medical groups but lobbyists advocating for the members.
Welcome to the club of individuals who realize that the term "healthcare" is a misnomer. Medicine has long traded improved health (short term income potential) for continued care for chronic (worsening) health conditions (long-term income).
Nutritionists are equally corrupt. Look up Brenda Fettke or Dr. Chris Knobbe.
Saturated fat is NOT the cause of heart disease.
Toxic seed oils (aka vegetable oils) are highly oxidative, when it is being processed, while sitting in bottles on the shelves and even when it is in your cell membranes, negatively impacting your mitochondria function.
If we kicked the nutritionist and food pyramid and their garbage message to the curbs, the need for "healthcare" would plummet.
Well that was exposed. I wonder what other ties these big pharma companies have with federal officials etc. Every time I turn on the TV I see their ties to the media when commercials come on.
Bobby gets a lot of flack but his research is flawless. I've used his finding w Monsanto from PCBs to glyphosate where he won the cancer lawsuit. I only remembered CDC had big stake not gigantic. Robert Kennedy Jr: CDC Is a Privately Owned Vaccine Company. "The CDC is a subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry. The agency owns more than 20 vaccine patents and purchases and sells $4.1 billion in vaccines annually."
Why confuse issues of health with food; Congress never does? Factory food titans & tobacco style pharmers are close to big oil for subsidies and loopholes. Old favorite & more true now than 1995 ~ ADM Case Study in Corporate Welfare by James Bovard..
I recommended reading Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz for more nutrition information. But suffice to say that it's not a coincidence that the "foods" we are "supposed to eat" are the same "foods" that American corporations make a lot of: corn, soy, wheat.
I would also recommend the documentary "Sacred Cow" which discusses regenerative farming methods as well as the issues with the recommended food pyramid, etc. It's new, came out this year. Also, the Weston A. Price foundation.
So very true. The chemicals and drift were awful this summer. We are surrounded by crops. I tell my doc and my horse vet about them and they just look at me. Because California mismanaged their water and are in a drought the Midwest may need to grow veggies….
Also, the child-muzzling fan AAP had Dr. Maldonado as Chairperson of the Infectious Diseases. She’s working on the Pfizer vaccine trials for children. The perfect business, guaranteed sale$.
Good catch. In general, Pfizer seems to be the carriage following the horse in this vaccine push anyway. And the actual organizational work of AAP seems to be basically what a five-person team could pull off. It's probably much more efficient to line the pockets of the 67k members directly with $millions than to fund the organization's pointless kabuki "healthcare access" initiatives.
Covid has made me lose all faith in the medical community.
Absolutely. I used to scoff at Jenny McCarthy and the anti-vaxxers, and even people who used the term Big Pharma. I would think, how can you go against the overwhelming majority of medical professionals? And I would say, it costs alot of money to develop the best drugs in the world. Now I know that med professionals are all bought and paid for, and Big Pharma actively stands in the way of cheap effective alternatives.
That is part of the unintended backlash/reaction to the vaxx mandates. I've seen more people who never, ever questioned vaccines are now thinking "maybe the anti-vaxxers were right". This includes some people who got this C19 vaxx.
This! You're describing me and my family. Never questioned "medical authority". Now that I've dug in deeper.. I have a LOT of questions/concerns.
I'm actually going to apologize to an anti-vaxxer former friend. While I had other, much larger issues with her, I'm certainly mature enough to admit I was wrong not to give the subject the thorough investigation I usually do.
Definitely agree. My mom has always scoffed at the flu vaccine and for many years I laughed at her. Now I’ve started digging into it and I probably will never get one again.
The same is true of childhood vaccines I’ve given all three of my kids. My daughter just had a horrible reaction to the rotavirus vaccine (self diagnosed of course because I doubt her pediatrician would say anything other than “maybe so but probably just a virus.”) With some digging I’ve realized that this is a fairly common reaction. But after nine doses to three different kids over the last five years, not one medical professional has ever mentioned a thing to me. Unthinkable.
Yup. Flu shot every year for me. No more.
>> I doubt her pediatrician would say anything other than “maybe so but probably just a virus.”
now do COVID.
there is benefit to them from Pharma for giving lots of jabs
Good to hear. None of my friends or family have expressed regret yet, but I hope they will admit soon that they were lied to about the vaxx being their ticket to normalcy. I mean, how can one not realize it when you are now being told you still need to wear masks and you already need a booster?
There's a lot of ego involved. As much as I try to share some hard data with my sister, she insists they are safe. At this point, all I care about is for all mandates to be removed. All VAERS reports would need to be audited thoroughly as well as an independent commission focus on AUTOPSIES of all deaths within 48 hrs of the shots.
i just read my health providers' e mail on boosters, filled with suspect appeal to cdc bs.
i deleted the e mail.
i took the vaxx and i now see i should have passed.
Thousands of families with vax-injured kids have known this all along. The issue was never to deny the value of real vaccines but to acknowledge that injuries ARE REAL and need to be addressed. The best way forward would be to eliminate the 1996 law that protects manufacturers from liability.

For me, "maybe they were right" only took ten minutes on wikipedia to convert to "uh, yeah, they were"
That was a really superficial comment. I'm in my late-afternoon empty stomach low-attention span mode. What I should have added is, it amazes me that painting anti-vaxxers as irrational could even be possible given the flagrantly unscientific, superstitious, reckless, and deviant nature of vaccine history.

Right. I mean there are billboards in my town proclaiming that the vaccine is safe. This was my first clue it probably is not.
ha!
so well said
My husband’s doc didn’t blink and didn’t care that he’s not vaxxed. I know of several people who got Covid and it was mild. An acquaintance got a breakthrough case and she is convinced it would have been worse were it not for the vax. I’m not so sure.
time for a new doctor.
Done.
I shoulda guessed from what you wrote.
Has it made you lose faith in the medical community or find more faith in your ability to see through BS.
It has revealed sharp corners in me that I never knew were there.
I have never felt so much hate and rage in my heart, for so long, as I have these past 16 months. Yes, I stand by my choice of words.
I hear you and understand. I hope you're able to find some peace friend :)
Moving away from my former shitty blue city was an amazing start. Farms are very peaceful, and other farmers are good neighbors.
completely agree! getting out of cities if you can is a nice change of pace and perspective
I agree. Building a second home in the middle of an Apple orchard county.
Ooh, good point. Yes and yes.
Definitely both.
Absolutely. And it's highly unlikely that faith in them will be regained.

I’ve heard this and wondered if it was true. Deeply troubling.
I recommended reading Gary Taubes and Nina Teicholz for more nutrition information. But suffice to say that it's not a coincidence that the "foods" we are "supposed to eat" are the same "foods" that American corporations make a lot of: corn, soy, wheat.
I would also recommend the documentary "Sacred Cow" which discusses regenerative farming methods as well as the issues with the recommended food pyramid, etc. It's new, came out this year. Also, the Weston A. Price foundation.
Thanks. A neighbor is practicing Joel Saladin’s methods. (Polyface farm). It’ll be interesting to see how that goes.
So very true. The chemicals and drift were awful this summer. We are surrounded by crops. I tell my doc and my horse vet about them and they just look at me. Because California mismanaged their water and are in a drought the Midwest may need to grow veggies….
Also, the child-muzzling fan AAP had Dr. Maldonado as Chairperson of the Infectious Diseases. She’s working on the Pfizer vaccine trials for children. The perfect business, guaranteed sale$.
The cost of a song is your soul. Seems souls are cheap nowadays.
I’m shocked!🙄
Kids' faces are infrastructure.
I am SHOK
I'm usually scrupulous about what I share until I've verified it but I let my guard down on this one and someone called me on it. Pfilzer hasn't contributed to the AAP in years. We need to be careful about falling into the trap we warn others about. https://www.aap.org/en/philanthropy/corporate-and-organizational-partners/current-partners/
However I do see a donation from Johnson & Johnson in the Patron ($25,000 - $49,999) category.
Where do you see that?
See my note below - the projects they funded ended June 30th, 2021. Still shows a conflict of opinion I think but yes we should always "test the floor". https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/pfizer-donations-to-american-academy-of-pediatrics-grant-program-fact-check/65-79cc10bf-53e9-4989-b6ca-3be9d4eb37f4

It's probably much more efficient to line the pockets of the 67k members directly with $millions than to fund the organization's pointless kabuki "healthcare access" initiatives.
The CATCH Program says it all.
But Pfizer are supporting them in an altruistic way! We're misjudging the AAP🤔
