And I am terribly sorry but to be honest.....I'm more pissed off as hell for you and everyone who has believed the lie....but mostly for people like you who now have to suffer for things you didn't do. It's horrific. I am so sorry.
Iโm so sorry for your loss ๐ข There has been such a huge cost to this whole debacle. I lost my brother because of the lockdowns (negligence at a long term care facility where he was in rehab for a broken legโhe was only 53 ๐) and suspect my momโs rare cancer was caused by the jab ๐ Itโs really sickening.
Tremendously sorry for your loss. All hugs to you.
The medical professionals that are injecting this poison, all needs to be locked up.
I have fallen out with three of my best friends since plus 30 years due to this hoax. And others too.
Still standing, still refusing to participate in genocide/democide. The indoctrinated lot are hard to have communication with. Eventually most of them will change side, the ones that lives, that is.
I'm so sorry, I can sympathize. Lost all my family and two once-close friends. I feel like I'm walking further every day into a new, strange, frightening but oddly empowering reality. It seems to me that we and those that are like us are all entering a crucible, where our dross will be melted away. We must go through the fire, it's our destiny at this time. The old, comfortable life has ended. Did people feel this way at the start of the World Wars, I wonder? Or, more likely, the War Between the States?
At this moment in time, my feeling is empowerment. At first it was sadness, after a while realisation that we will get through this with all new alliances that has been forming and are on the rise everywhere in the world. We are just led to believe that we are alone because of the fierce censorship.
Have met and are still meeting wonderful people that are showing that the path forward is the way we took at that crossroad that came in our sight.
The things these evil genocidal maniac people have planned will never succeed as they lack the human trait of being spiritual and have compassion. That is what they are trying to take away, hence the โsocial distancingโ, masking, imprisonments (even though they call it lockdowns), all tools to dehumanise and enslave people.
People are a huge force in numbers and that is what is the strength together with all you people here that have come to understand and also have comprehended and can communicate what the โotherโ side wants. We are seen as useless eaters, CO2-exhalers that has to be terminated in any way possible by them that think they are above all others. The ones that wants to rule the world. They do not belong to our humankind as they have given away their traits long ago or never had them in the first place.
Take a look at Yuval Noah Harari to see a eugenicist in full bloom.
He is only one of many that wants extinction into oblivion to give way for transhumanism.
Great post, I will take your words into my day, Angel. Harari is a pitiless monster; ironic that though Jewish, how he would have shown like a gem serving the Third Reich! I received an email from sister #3 last night. She and her husband are nurses (he is in Public Health, called out of retirement to help with covid). They are all about the vaccines. She was never political, but in the past few years she has become a committed (read that, rabid) woke far leftie - her true nature has always been Karen, so it fits. No communication in over a year and then she sends me a petition to impeach Clarence Thomas, with no personal words. I blocked her. I have sisters everywhere, from different mothers. I will find them.
This is 100% accurate, HOWEVER, this fringe minority has ruled the world for all time and still does. Look at China? Look all over. This fringe controls it. Illusion or not, this is not new it's been the same for all time. Just wait until the fringe minority sends down 10k attack drones on the protesting population, then what? Just wait until the fringe minority gets hammered by a bunch of people paid to arrest or end them, then what? When this 1% stops the supply chain or stops the internet from working, starts are world war, then what? He who has the gold makes the rules. Sorry, but that's how it goes and unless you're ready to end these people by killing them, they aren't going anywhere.
I have TWO sweet friends that lost their hubbies this past 6 months to sudden dx of cancer. One, lung cancer, the other, brain. Just sudden onset, never had symptoms or telling blood work. nope, just 3 months and they were gone.
I didn't say I was doing anything because I'm not. Where would you suggest one would talk about it of they didn't want people listening? A barn with no electronics in the middle of nowhere??? I think that's exactly the problem today. If anyone wanted to push back on the tryanny and they did anymore than think about it theyd be done before thry stepped out the house. I am worried about mine now and theyre fine. God forbid that changes. .
We're here for each other; some of us, myself included, have almost no one in our daily lives to whom we can vent. This thread feels like a safe place to let out our anguish, rage, worry and frustration to sympathetic ears, and offer support in turn. As for admitting to fantasies of violence, I'm sure what's published here is just the smallest drop in the ocean.
Veterans are too trusting and think that they have been shot up with so much while serving that another one wasn't going to do anything. My husband too is a vet and says similar things but got sick from the anthrax shot so I was able to keep him from this one. My friend's Vietnam vet dad, she wasn't so lucky sadly and now he has horrible health problems.
Oh right.... there was a huge assumption in my comment. Way too soon to jump on the "they're on the run" bandwagon of the last few days - after just the Dr Brix jaw-dropper.
๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธbecause of course โthe scienceโ dictates that there is no air flow around or underneath the plexiglass.
Or doctors. I feel so betrayed by these people who were supposed to be advocates for children, and all they could do was keep their heads down and protect their own sorry hides at the childrenโs expense ๐ก
Frankly, back in fall '20, that Fauci, going on about how we had to protect all mucus membranes, and maybe we'd need eye protection, I feared how far he would go, as we females have another area of mucus membrane. He was going to put a cap on that?
The latest research is that the plexiglass actually directs potential viruses into the confined space created by the plexiglass. Much better to have freely circulating air. That, is actual science.
Yes. So agree. Also that masks concentrate and make particles hover in the air for longer. Thanks for the smile. Every day last year in every classroom, teachers and students masked up but windows CLOSED. I cannot tell you how many times I opened the windows 1st thing. Sigh.
As a parent to a hight school child, I can feel it in the voices and behavior of parents that there is a growing opposition and anger among them of what masks and shutting down schools did to our children. There will be a point when we are all out for blood.....I can't tell you how many stories I have heard of attempted suicides and suicides in my area. Personally, I can barely contain myself when I see young children wearing masks. I want to scream, "child abuse" at the parents. They are facilitating this charade or house of cards!
Yes. I pulled my son from his private school because I couldnโt get an exemption from the mandates last year, and I was done with that BS. Homeschooling now.
Thank you. Itโs been tough and painful, because we really loved the school, and had given a lot to it over the years. But they wouldnโt risk refusing to follow the mandates and although they offered the possibility of an exemption, I couldnโt get our ex pediatrician to give one. So here we are. It is for the best but hasnโt been easy.
Yes, legitimate question. I wish it was a simple matter of my choice. I home-schooled him till grade 8, but at high school level he really wanted to go to regular school and be part of that scene, and I was happy to support his decision. It coincided with the first year of covid craziness, not as much was known about the horrific implications of mask wearing, and as much as it twisted my guts in a knot, I felt powerless to change the mask mandate at his school. I donโt know any other parents who agree with me on this issue, and it would have embarrassed the heck out of my son if I made a big deal, and he was the only kid not wearing one. I kept thinking theyโre gonna drop the mandate soon, eventually they did, but Iโm worried they might bring it back if there are a huge rise in cases (which is a huge potential with vaxxed folks immunity being suppressed)
He has flourished in regular school, he does not want to be a home-schooler again and miss out on the social scene and all the new friends heโs made. I donโt want to force him; itโs a tough call. Itโs not the schoolโs choice alone either, itโs provincially mandated (or at least, by the school board) and even if I did go to the school they canโt change the rules. They would say โtake your kid home if you donโt like the rulesโ.
Iโm sure itโs no revelation, ALL the mandates have been fโd up, weโve all put up with a lot, and none of us have single handedly had a simple choice to just not go along. I do my best to not, but thereโs only so much I can do. I canโt fly to the US (not my choice) I canโt see my Mom in her LTC home (not my choice), and if they bring mask mandates back for shopping, I wonโt be able to enter without a mask, so my other option there would be to not buy groceries.
Sorry for the long answer to a not so simple (but certainly legitimate) question.
Ask yourself if your child would be harmed more by wearing a mask (knowing how dumb it is) or being at home with you when he really doesnโt want to be?
I know we are all against the mandates but your son is the one who will suffer one or the other. Let him decide. I am sure he is mature enough. Make peace with it and move on. It is causing you more stress than you need. โค๏ธ
"We failed to establish a relationship between school masking and pediatric cases using the same methods but a larger, more nationally diverse population over a longer interval."
Thank you! Not If, but When they try to reinstitute mask mandates, please drop these links often here( and there) so that those who didn't catch this side bar might use them!
* edited because: more typos than is even my usual ๐
I have read so many studies and have so many links! But when I tried to get people to read them, they werenโt interested, for the most part. They just wanted to blindly follow the government bureaucratsโ rules. It makes me furious that so-called health officials mandated mask wearing with unapproved, untested masks (which are classified as medical devices and are not clothing, I am so sick of mask proponents likening the mandates to a dress code). No one had any studies proving they didnโt cause harm or that they worked to prevent infection. It was all based on hope and possibility. I think those people should all be held responsible for the damage theyโve done.
I feel ya. It really baffled me, how I worked with all these so-called critical thinkers (I was at a university) and they just unquestioningly, blindly, obediently surrendered their thinking and questions. I would get responses like, "Really, Michele, you think you are going to make more sense of science in *gasp!! a pandemic!* than the "experts"?" I got responses like "Really Michele, you expect the government to make sense? How cutely naive of you." Never any hard facts--they were none of them the DYOR crowd.
I agree they should be held responsible, but I bet the jabs will get them before any justice does.
Either that or, karmic payback, the ones I know, all professors, will have zero kids to teach, because all the oxygen deprivation will have put those kids on the 'non-college' track.
Here is the video that I think they should all watch, but again--will they see?
The monsters responsible for this mass child abuse must be held to account. They must be removed from office; jailed for a few years; and banned for life from ever holding any position of even moderate authority, public or private.
This is why the second time around is potentially an existential threat.
They'll do it again; because they're afraid of losing something.
This is a disease of FEAR itself AND the fear of losing something. In other words, using scarcity itself to control behavior. Whether that be the scarcity of health or the scarcity of comfort, etc.
Especially the scarcity of TIME & SPACE in society.
From what I've seen, the vast majority are not willing to pay a price because they are gripped by their fear of scarcity...in one shape or another.
I don't know about other fathers, but I certainly made great efforts to protect my young teen daughter from the mass-hysteria. We simply did not participate. First, I explained early on that covid was no threat to her and she should just ignore it and enjoy her life. We do not have cable TV, and we do not watch mass media news programs. I did not expose her to that psychological terror campaign. We continued to have holiday gatherings as usual. We went out when and where we wanted to. We ignored all covid "mandates". She continued to meet socially and spend time with her friends whose families were also not participating in the mass-hysteria (of which there were a few). Sometimes when we went out together I would mock people wearing masks and visors. Of course, jabs were always out of the question. After a while she began to grasp how ridiculous it all was. And because after two years she sees that everything I said turned-out to be true, I have managed to establish a certain amount of credibility with my teenage child. That is no easy thing to do. Hey maybe dad's not so dumb after all ..
Good for you Corey! The most important thing that everyone can do is turn off local/ national news and social media. FYI, I worked in local news for 15 years, and when I left, I stopped watching, which is one of the best things I've ever done!
I have two adult stepsons; they both independently rejected ALL of the COVID hype, and we were able to have holidays with them as usual. We have also been welcomed by our vaxxed relatives through all of this, although some are confused as to why we won't go along with the program.
It's just all so stupid, and people are STILL caught up in it.
I know a young married couple in their mid-20s. Neither are vaxxed. They have a four year old son. The husband doesn't believe in masks, yet the wife uses a mask intermittently on her and on their son when he's not around. Anecdotally, the son has a learning disorder and is in speech therapy.
Also... most women are susceptible to peer pressure, aka "shaming." So they mask up and mask up their children because if they don't, other people will think badly of them.
Good points. A lot of people donโt want to make waves and consider themselves rule followers. I am one of them. I hate getting in trouble. So I get this. But some things are too important to just go along to get along and some rules should not be obeyed. (Funny that some of the same people who praise Rosa Parks for not following the rules are the people telling us to just shut up and do what weโre told ๐ Bunch of fakes).
Last spring I had finally learned enough and had had enough of all the stupidity and pushed back. I went places with signs to wear a mask and refused to wear one. Was asked to leave in a few places. Each time I felt very stressed about it but did it anyway. I wish more people realized how not pushing back now or before is dragging this whole thing out and hurting our children and ourselves more than anything else. But a lot of people want to be seen as โniceโ and donโt have the necessary moral courage, seemingly ๐
I got fed up as well, and did the same thing you did. There were a few places that offered me a mask or asked me to wear one; I simply left. I simply don't want to patronize businesses like that.
BTW.... I think everyone should get ready for Mask Resistance, Round II. The health director in the adjoining county has now "recommended" masking up again, and my guess is that sometime in the near future, they will become mandatory again.
Hah!! They really are in a quandary with that one, aren't they?? Remember all the tut tutting that when on, regarding "bad" covid behavior? How all the Karens lectured us day and night? How are they going to do that with (gasp) GAY MEN, and still be woke?? They can't say anything, what are they going to say, "Okay boys, no jiggy jiggy for two weeks, to stop the spread! Close the gay bars, close the discos, close the bath houses. Close the YMCA!!" I don't see it happening, do you?
Here's something to think about: does the medical industrial complex/ Big Pharma WANT gay men to stop having rampant indiscriminate sex?
I think that answer is a BIG no.
As long as men keep getting weird sexually transmitted diseases, Big Pharma/ big medical makes Big $$$$$$$$$.
You know, just like they keep making big $$$$ off leaky vaxxes that are killing people. It's in their best interest to keep pumping out the vaxx, so they can make $$$ on vaxx injury treatments.
Oh yes. My oh-so-pro-mask county here in Mask Central - California - just reinstated the "recommended" rule. It won't be long now. The cashiers in our grocery store have never stopped wearing them, not for two years. I daresay the P.O. and certainly the Library will gleefully demand masks again. Just in time for the mid terms, and mail-in ballots.
This idea that your mask protects me and mine protects you is bogus on the face simply because if masks work then everyone wearing one would be protected without regard to anyone else's mask. The purpose of requiring masks is simply for social control. Does anyone remember that in the early days Fauci claimed that washing your hands 15 times per day would stop Covid? He did not recommend wearing masks. Problem here was how would anyone else know you washed your hands. So, masks were required simply to show fealty - you became a supporter of the narritive. If you wear a mask going forward you are simply a player in this 30 month fraud. Stop being complicit.
and for those who maybe believed that masks actually worked remember Timothy the Mouse giving Dumbo the magic feather? That's how masks worked- made you believe manifest idiocy.
This is hideous. Future generations will mock us.
Please join me in mocking us NOW.

Thank you for the link Michelle
Oh, I've got links!
Here is an updated study on ineffectiveness.
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4118566
"We failed to establish a relationship between school masking and pediatric cases using the same methods but a larger, more nationally diverse population over a longer interval."
And one on harm:

Thank you! Not If, but When they try to reinstitute mask mandates, please drop these links often here( and there) so that those who didn't catch this side bar might use them!

LOL I was trying to figure out if Not Id was some new acronym I wasn't hip to!
Cheers and yes, I will.
I have read so many studies and have so many links! But when I tried to get people to read them, they werenโt interested, for the most part. They just wanted to blindly follow the government bureaucratsโ rules. It makes me furious that so-called health officials mandated mask wearing with unapproved, untested masks (which are classified as medical devices and are not clothing, I am so sick of mask proponents likening the mandates to a dress code). No one had any studies proving they didnโt cause harm or that they worked to prevent infection. It was all based on hope and possibility. I think those people should all be held responsible for the damage theyโve done.
I feel ya. It really baffled me, how I worked with all these so-called critical thinkers (I was at a university) and they just unquestioningly, blindly, obediently surrendered their thinking and questions. I would get responses like, "Really, Michele, you think you are going to make more sense of science in *gasp!! a pandemic!* than the "experts"?" I got responses like "Really Michele, you expect the government to make sense? How cutely naive of you." Never any hard facts--they were none of them the DYOR crowd.
I agree they should be held responsible, but I bet the jabs will get them before any justice does.
Either that or, karmic payback, the ones I know, all professors, will have zero kids to teach, because all the oxygen deprivation will have put those kids on the 'non-college' track.
Here is the video that I think they should all watch, but again--will they see?

The kid knows what is wrong and what is right.
The monsters responsible for this mass child abuse must be held to account. They must be removed from office; jailed for a few years; and banned for life from ever holding any position of even moderate authority, public or private.
Why didn't the Father's man up?
Isn't their first duty to protect their kids?
They did nothing.
Why?
This is why the second time around is potentially an existential threat.
They'll do it again; because they're afraid of losing something.
This is a disease of FEAR itself AND the fear of losing something. In other words, using scarcity itself to control behavior. Whether that be the scarcity of health or the scarcity of comfort, etc.
Especially the scarcity of TIME & SPACE in society.
From what I've seen, the vast majority are not willing to pay a price because they are gripped by their fear of scarcity...in one shape or another.
I don't know about other fathers, but I certainly made great efforts to protect my young teen daughter from the mass-hysteria. We simply did not participate. First, I explained early on that covid was no threat to her and she should just ignore it and enjoy her life. We do not have cable TV, and we do not watch mass media news programs. I did not expose her to that psychological terror campaign. We continued to have holiday gatherings as usual. We went out when and where we wanted to. We ignored all covid "mandates". She continued to meet socially and spend time with her friends whose families were also not participating in the mass-hysteria (of which there were a few). Sometimes when we went out together I would mock people wearing masks and visors. Of course, jabs were always out of the question. After a while she began to grasp how ridiculous it all was. And because after two years she sees that everything I said turned-out to be true, I have managed to establish a certain amount of credibility with my teenage child. That is no easy thing to do. Hey maybe dad's not so dumb after all ..
Good for you Corey! The most important thing that everyone can do is turn off local/ national news and social media. FYI, I worked in local news for 15 years, and when I left, I stopped watching, which is one of the best things I've ever done!
I have two adult stepsons; they both independently rejected ALL of the COVID hype, and we were able to have holidays with them as usual. We have also been welcomed by our vaxxed relatives through all of this, although some are confused as to why we won't go along with the program.
It's just all so stupid, and people are STILL caught up in it.
You are an exceptional Father. I wish there were more. You and I are of like mind.
Well done Corey. I looked at it as an opportunity to not only protect my children, but to teach them a lesson.
You have done the right thing, when so many didn't.

I think a lot of it has to do with the wife.
I know a young married couple in their mid-20s. Neither are vaxxed. They have a four year old son. The husband doesn't believe in masks, yet the wife uses a mask intermittently on her and on their son when he's not around. Anecdotally, the son has a learning disorder and is in speech therapy.
Also... most women are susceptible to peer pressure, aka "shaming." So they mask up and mask up their children because if they don't, other people will think badly of them.
Finally, a lot of families don't have fathers.
Good points. A lot of people donโt want to make waves and consider themselves rule followers. I am one of them. I hate getting in trouble. So I get this. But some things are too important to just go along to get along and some rules should not be obeyed. (Funny that some of the same people who praise Rosa Parks for not following the rules are the people telling us to just shut up and do what weโre told ๐ Bunch of fakes).
Last spring I had finally learned enough and had had enough of all the stupidity and pushed back. I went places with signs to wear a mask and refused to wear one. Was asked to leave in a few places. Each time I felt very stressed about it but did it anyway. I wish more people realized how not pushing back now or before is dragging this whole thing out and hurting our children and ourselves more than anything else. But a lot of people want to be seen as โniceโ and donโt have the necessary moral courage, seemingly ๐
I got fed up as well, and did the same thing you did. There were a few places that offered me a mask or asked me to wear one; I simply left. I simply don't want to patronize businesses like that.
BTW.... I think everyone should get ready for Mask Resistance, Round II. The health director in the adjoining county has now "recommended" masking up again, and my guess is that sometime in the near future, they will become mandatory again.
Now that monkeypox has been declared a global pandemic, will we all have to wear condoms too?
Hah!! They really are in a quandary with that one, aren't they?? Remember all the tut tutting that when on, regarding "bad" covid behavior? How all the Karens lectured us day and night? How are they going to do that with (gasp) GAY MEN, and still be woke?? They can't say anything, what are they going to say, "Okay boys, no jiggy jiggy for two weeks, to stop the spread! Close the gay bars, close the discos, close the bath houses. Close the YMCA!!" I don't see it happening, do you?
How will they check compliance though ๐ค Wait, forget I asked!
Here's something to think about: does the medical industrial complex/ Big Pharma WANT gay men to stop having rampant indiscriminate sex?
I think that answer is a BIG no.
As long as men keep getting weird sexually transmitted diseases, Big Pharma/ big medical makes Big $$$$$$$$$.
You know, just like they keep making big $$$$ off leaky vaxxes that are killing people. It's in their best interest to keep pumping out the vaxx, so they can make $$$ on vaxx injury treatments.
Oh yes. My oh-so-pro-mask county here in Mask Central - California - just reinstated the "recommended" rule. It won't be long now. The cashiers in our grocery store have never stopped wearing them, not for two years. I daresay the P.O. and certainly the Library will gleefully demand masks again. Just in time for the mid terms, and mail-in ballots.
FYI, I'm outside of Columbus Ohio; Franklin county has brought back the recommendation. A supposedly "red" state.
Thankfully my county is more non-compliant.
Ugh ๐
I agree and I am ready. Not doing this BS anymore!!
This idea that your mask protects me and mine protects you is bogus on the face simply because if masks work then everyone wearing one would be protected without regard to anyone else's mask. The purpose of requiring masks is simply for social control. Does anyone remember that in the early days Fauci claimed that washing your hands 15 times per day would stop Covid? He did not recommend wearing masks. Problem here was how would anyone else know you washed your hands. So, masks were required simply to show fealty - you became a supporter of the narritive. If you wear a mask going forward you are simply a player in this 30 month fraud. Stop being complicit.
and for those who maybe believed that masks actually worked remember Timothy the Mouse giving Dumbo the magic feather? That's how masks worked- made you believe manifest idiocy.
I always say itโs the equivalent of a lucky rabbitโs foot.
Yup exactly. The pee meme that supposedly explained how masks work was one of the most idiotic justifications Iโve ever seen ๐๐๐
Well said!
GOOD FOR YOU!!
