I disagree—they are experts on how to destroy trust in public health!

Expand full comment

yes, but asking them about it is like interviewing termites on home design.

Indeed! They are experts from the standpoint of those who destroyed trust in public health but paid no price for it. Nor will they pay a price, and hence, their being propped up as experts somewhat makes sense. #WeAreSoScrewed

"All States are governed by a ruling class that is a minority of the population, and which subsists as a parasitic and exploitative burden upon the rest of society. Since its rule is exploitative and parasitic, the State must purchase the alliance of a group of Court Intellectuals, whose task is to bamboozle the public into accepting and celebrating the rule of its particular State. The Court Intellectuals have their work cut out for them. In exchange for their continuing work of apologetics and bamboozlement, the Court Intellectuals win their place as junior partners in the power, prestige, and loot extracted by the State apparatus from the deluded public. The noble task of Revisionism is to de-bamboozle: to penetrate the fog of lies and deception of the State and its Court Intellectuals, and to present to the public the true history of the motivation, the nature, and the consequences of State activity. By working past the fog of State deception to penetrate to the truth, to the reality behind the false appearances, the Revisionist works to delegitimize, to desanctify, the State in the eyes of the previously deceived public."

Wow, great quote! Thanks for posting!

What’s to destroy. Medical Drs are paid whores to pharma. They do what the hospital admins tell them so they collect their pay check. The hospital admins are told what to do by the bankers. Bc venture capitalists own all these medical groups and are slowly accumulating every small town medical practice.

Those are all valid points, but notice I said “destroy *trust* in public health,” not public health itself, which as you noted is already destroyed.

If public health is already destroyed, what is to trust? Something the normies reading this need to understand.

I think everyone reading this blog likely already understands that. It's the normies who don't read this (or much else, for that matter) who need to get that message.

That's true! Everbody is an expert in something.

Dr. Faust is the expert witness for the board of medicine against me, claiming I deserve to lose my medical license for treating early Covid, and in his opinion, being in capable of reading the medical literature. Dr. Rennie was the right arm of Dr. Ashish Jha and took over for him at Brown University to run the public health department until she went to Yale. Both she and Faust are emergency room doctors which means they almost never get to see the consequences of their actions.

Expand full comment

That's it, isn't it? That the ever-expanding bureaucracy serves most efficiently to isolate the policymakers from the consequences of their actions? As Thomas Sowell says- the feedback in such a system is ineffective as a corrective device and so these visionaries are free to pursue their utopias without having ever to reconcile the negative consequences. The system incentivizes the wrong behaviors - and it is self-perpetuating in the worst ways.

I'm sorry you had to go through that at the hands of such dunces. Am I right in remembering that you are suing the medical licensing board in your state? I hope so.

Please call on me if you need someone to testify in support of you. I'm sure there is a long line already. We are all here for you. I know Dr. Ranney was wrong on most everything. I don't know Dr. Faust but I can beat anyone in a C-19 debate.

Nec(k) sounds like näck in swedish. An old word for nude. -romancer is -romantiker in swedish meaning romantic.

So necromancer sounds like someone in the nuddy trying to be romantic.

Expand full comment

It means "romance" with the dead. Which if memory serves me Faust, through his pact with the devil, was a practioner of.

And you know; Frankenstein was a lonely heart...and dies in the end.

Another meaning of näck is Näcken, a pre-christian entity living in spring, creeks and brooks. He frequently attracts young women and children playing his fiddle.

In some parts, Näcken is benevolent and guards against drowning; in other parts it's the opposite. Curiously, in those parts where Näcken may be dangerous, another entity called Bäckahästen (Brookhorse) is the guardian, and vice versa.

Expand full comment

Ooh--the naiad. I have supposed that the once-common custom of throwing coins into a fountain is the residue of making an offering to the naiad.

Like your 'umpty-zillion'.

Expand full comment

Naiads are greek though. Näcken is from up here in Scandinavia. I think the closest cultural analogue would be the slavic rusalki.

But as far as I know, Näcken and Bäckahästen are uniquely scandinavian; he is often depicted as a nakedman sitting in a stream or a waterfall, playing his fiddle. Commonly, Skogsfrun (The Lady of the Forest, though Fru also means wife) may be there, listening or dancing.

In some areas, Skogsfrun and Skogsrået are used interchangably, in others they are separate entities. Again, one is somewhat benevolent if shown respect (i.e. nature is shown respect) while the other lures the greedy, the ravagers, the despoilers and the venal to their death in the deep woods...

...or turn them into game animals and subtly leads the hunters their way.

Making offerings in well-springs is surely a pre-christian tradition; there's one such spring-well about 20 kilometers from where I live. Curiously, it never freezes in winter even if it's -30C and it never dries up in summer. According to local legend, if it does freeze that heralds war and if it dries up it heralds famine.

Well, ayckshually...

The "-mancy" ending means "divination by". See geomancy (rock formations), oneiromancy (dreams), bibliomancy (books), ornithomancy (flight of birds), hepatomancy (animal livers), etc. So while necromancy has come to mean black magic or death magic generally, it originally had the sense of "bringing back dead people to ask them questions".

I stand corrected. I'm afraid to search for the word about fornicating with the dead.

Brandon should just have had the departing rulers decree an "assault weapon" ban before going into exile with their Cayman accounts full of our tax dollars.

Then the Taliban, just like the gang-bangers infesting Chicago and other Blue Meccas, would have given them back to us in a sort of "buy-back" program.

Problem solved. It is just Common Sense Gun Control™, after all.

True story, the most famous diet doctor in 18th century England weighed over 400 lbs (which, in the era before captain crunch, was quite the rare and impressive feat). He made a fortune telling clients how to lose weight. The more things change…

OT, but I think this is news: The FDA quietly switched to a single-dose regimen for COVID-19 vaccines.

“Most unvaccinated individuals may receive a single dose of a bivalent vaccine, rather than multiple doses of the original monovalent mRNA vaccines. “ https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-authorizes-changes-simplify-use-bivalent-mrna-covid-19-vaccines

Expand full comment

I'd like to see the contracts for those original shots. Did they, perhaps, only run through April 2023?

Expand full comment

The one-shot regime is a big deal, as many side effects seem to come after the second dose. Now all the health departments get to change their definition of fully-vaccinated. Of course, the news was buried on tax day.

Expand full comment

I hadn't thought about it coinciding with tax day. Effective distraction tactic.

Serious adverse event reports in VAERS show 42,769 after the first dose and 47,368 after the second.

Expand full comment

Someone over at Instapundit commented that the government paid $22 for the original shots, but $38 for the bivalent shot. Follow the money ... and it leads to The Science™.

Expand full comment

This part (about not even being currently eligible to get another dose) got my attention: "Most individuals who have already received a single dose of the bivalent vaccine are not currently eligible for another dose. The FDA intends to make decisions about future vaccination after receiving recommendations on the fall strain composition at an FDA advisory committee in June."

Expand full comment

WOW WOW WOW!!! Thank you so much Norstadt! Given that so recently they said if you hadn't already taken the jab, you couldn't have the bivalent without first getting all the previous jabs. Something nefarious is going on here---but then, what is there except the nefarious where 'they' are concerned? Wonder if this bivalent is more effective at killing so only one shot needed?
