My son is a junior at the University of Georgia. Vaxx optional school, he’s not vaxxed. Huge school, football games, all was well the entire semester. Classes in person, no mandatory testing, finals as usual. My daughter lives and works in free and open Miami, living her best life, unvaxxed. The testing and the fear need to stop.
Internet basement dwellers believe that open states/countries are extinct. However populations of open regions are booming instead and people are leaving strict areas.
Adding University of Georgia to my juniors list of potential colleges. High school students need a list of which schools are free/open and which are cowering in fear.
UGA is a great school. We all love it. My daughter graduated from the University of Miami in May; perfect school for her, fabulous job after graduation. My husband and I live in NY — it’s like another world!! Fortunately we’re outside NYC, but the governor just put new insane statewide mandates in place. We’re in FL often. It’s like it’s still 2019 there lol. Good luck with the college search!
That is not true. It is the vaxxed that cause the variants. The unvaxxed where the innate immunity is strong, they don't shed. In addition, those with natural immunity act as virus sinks.
If you meant opposite of how I took your post, my apologies.
And state schools SC and TN. SC AG actually almost sued College of Charleston for discriminating against unvax which is against state law for state schools
It is INSANE! If you have been outside of WA in the last 22 months, away from the west coast, you know what I mean. People are living NORMAL lives everywhere else...People don't understand it unless you go elsewhere to see it in person. (tv doesnt count) lol!
Ok just looked. A little insane over the East Siberian shelf - up to double what it would have been a year or so ago. Up significantly at Barrow, Alaska as well but that's 10% not 100%.
How Bout Them Dawgs! I went to about all the games, but I'm naturally immune, so I was safer than anyone else. We had some great days, and all that Vitamin D from the sunshine was great.
I work at Cornell- soon to be "let go" due to refusing their mandate. A good friend who is also refusing the mandate is also being "let go." He has a prominent position.
We are both "taking on" the University- specifically the administrators that are designing and pushing these mandates. I am going to post our exchanges with the administration over the past three days. I hope that is okay. I will do this in two separate entries.
Here are the questions and answers, which I have posted before, that I received from Tim Fitzpatrick who is the Director Environment Health & Safety. Contact. You can contact him here: tpf29@cornell.edu
The follow-up entry will be the questions my friend sent out and the direct response he received from Cornell President Martha Pollack.
Here is Cornell's response to my questions- it came from Tim Fitzpatrick:
1) In this most recent letter, it is stated that the transmission has been occurring due to travel and due to social gatherings. What is your current evidence for this?
A) Information regarding potential transmission source is gathered by trained Cornell staff known as pandemic response officers (PROs) who interview each positive case.
2) In this letter it is noted that transmission has not been occurring in academic settings. What is your current evidence that supports this?
A) Information regarding potential transmission source is gathered by trained Cornell staff known as pandemic response officers (PROs) who interview each positive case. Additionally, testing of close contacts has not identified transmission in the academic setting.
3) In this letter there is an assertion that vaccines are our best protection. Based on the two questions above does this then imply that the vaccines work in academic settings but not in social settings?
4) If the caveat is that the social settings are less likely to include mask wearing does this then mean that the vaccines only work when accompanied by a mask?
A) Please see information provided above on vaccine which indicates they reduce the likelihood of infection and serious disease. Additionally, masks and social distancing can further reduce your risk of infection. For additional information on mask please see the CDC information regarding mask in areas of high transmission: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/masks.html
5) If there is such "spread" causing record number of "cases" isn't this a clear indication that the medical strategies that have been employed over the past year and a half (vaccines, masks and/or vaccine/mask combination) at best don't work and therefore promoting more of the same, e.g. "boosters", is doubling down on a failed strategy?
A) No I don’t believe so, the spike in cases in driven by the presence of the latest variant of concern (omicron). Early information from South Africa indicate vaccine provide a reduction in likelihood of infection compared to unvaccinated persons. Masks have been shown to reduce aerosolization of vaccine thus helping to further reduce your risk.
6) There are numerous universities throughout the country that are not employing the "strategies" employed at Cornell and are having little to no problem with infections or cases- this with very large social gatherings of all types. How does the administration reconcile this fact with what is happening at Cornell?
Students are paying $60-80K a year (or going into massive debt) to be blamed for catching an endemic, highly transmissible, and not very dangerous respiratory virus.
Cornell receives copious amounts of federal grant money from Fauci led NIH/NIAID. Fauci is a Cornell grad from Weill school of medicine.
Cornell receives copious amounts of money from BMGF- 2nd in amount received behind only Johns Hopkins in the US University system- they may have fallen to 3rd as of last year will have to double check- in any case lots of money.
Cornell has been tapped to be one of the leading institutions for the mRNA biomedical juggernaut that is underway. Extreme amounts of investments have been poured into this. They already have the research facilities set up for this and are expanding on it.
Also one of the reasons Australia is under the pump, billion dollar mRNA manufacturing being set up in Brisbane and Melbourne. Australia won't recover from this betrayal of SE Asia.
Health care is approaching $6 trillion a year in the US. Disease management is now the largest economic driver in our country.
Most people think the Military is the largest piece of the US $17 trillion/year GDP- it is not even close any more though still bloated.
The military as a Ponzi Scheme (see phony "War on Terror") can no longer prop up the US debt machine so they turned elsewhere when the economy cratered in Fall 2019.
The US is the foundation of most of the Western economies around the world.
War has been replaced by disease as the primary "economic" driver, they need larger and larger-scale health crises to keep the economy going.
They have nowhere else to go to halt the collapse of their corrupt financial system other than to invent a Martian invasion.
Summary analysis of their responses: Do not ask us to even attempt to make sense of any of this or our response to the outbreak. We interview people and rely on them to tell us where they got an invisible airborne virus, which is something they can't possibly know, and we trust they'd tell us the truth if they were doing something they weren't supposed to be doing on campus. It's called science! And we blame Omicron....even though Delta is still the dominant variant here. And by the way, here are links to CDC propaganda on the efficacy of the vaccines and masks that have been proven false by the actual science. Thanks for asking, now stop interrupting the narrative.
That's fabulous thank you for fighting with facts and showing these tyrants for the fools they are. This was my favorite question because it captures the absurdity of the policies so nicely but the entire list of questions is perfectly brilliant. Bravo!
"In this letter there is an assertion that vaccines are our best protection. Based on the two questions above does this then imply that the vaccines work in academic settings but not in social settings?"
It is so refreshing to know that there are still people in our institutes of higher learning that are willing to stand on principle no matter what. I have nothing but respect for people like yourself Allen. Stand strong. I believe if there's ever an end to this madness, it will be people like yourself and your friend that will help pave the way for the future of our country and humanity. It may be difficult now, but it pales in comparison to how difficult it will be if people who know better continue to comply with this agenda (and it's pretty obvious by now that it *is* an agenda. People that can't see that by now are, sadly, lost I think). Thanks for taking a stand!
I was the ESH Director of a DOE National Laboratory and was terminated in August due to the Princeton University vaccine mandate. It’s a shame more ESH professionals can’t cut through the BS and see what’s going on… For example, we all have understood for decades that cloth “masks” are ineffective against an aerosolized virus, yet that has been thrown to wind to support the narrative. The CDC states on their website that masks used for COVID protection are ineffective against wild fire smoke, yet this smoke has a particle size larger than the virus. If the CDC isn’t speaking out of both sides of their mouth, they aren’t speaking. It’s a travesty….
I’m sorry to hear that you are receiving no support from people that should know better. This ESH Director would have your back.
Monkeys are "trained." Anyone in charge of the welfare of students should be EDUCATED.
Also, when one combines two complete sentences into one longer sentence, the join should be a semi-colon, not a comma. (Relating to this statement by the college: No I don’t believe so, the spike in cases in driven by the presence of the latest variant of concern...)
This is a prestigious university, and yet they literally have NO answers. All they are doing is punting off to some amorphous "authority."
Sad... stupidity and Fear in action. Also... 'follow the rules', 'I was only taking orders !' mentality. Pretty Stupid for such a 'brainy' university. Good luck with your challenge.
No, not for the most part, though there is some of that here. But that layer of fear is actually paper thin- you literally go to every adjacent county and the level of insanity is nowhere near what it is here. And this is directly due to how Cornell forces the narrative down everyone's throats.
There is a very strong element of conformity to this narrative in order to keep not only your paid position but also your perceived social status.
The 'followers' are for the most part being coerced, bullied, gaslit and threatened with loss of job.
The students have been bullied, intimidated and beaten down by the University. It's 100% thuggish behavior. I could give you dozens of examples. It's well-heeled mafioso behavior.
I am very active in talking to the students about all of this and am one of the few who have been doing in-person classes (without a mask BTW) for the last 3 semesters. I have asked well over 100 students questions regarding the "vaccines." Not a single one of them, not one, knew anything about the ingredients or anything about the companies making them. There is ZERO informed consent- it's all coercion.
Almost none of them wanted to take the "vaccine", only a few, and most did so to "get back to normal" and to avoid being thrown out of the school.
I'm pretty sure it's the same as here. At Otago Uni they, the Govt, have an enthusiastic supporter of their madness even though it is not in the student's interests.
At Otago Poly there was more pushback, they took longer to mandate vacinations.
Both did it during the student breaks (basically earlyish November until Mid February).
Literally all their funding comes from Ardern's government. And that is, in my view, the key to these shit mandates.
Well hey, here's some good news: "Masks have been shown to reduce aerosolization of vaccine thus helping to further reduce your risk." Mask up, everybody!
I read your comments posted on a previous threads. This is horrible.
THINK NOW. Who are the people, colleges businesses etc that receive money and subsidies from the US govt? Who wants to continue to receive money from the US Govt? Who cannot, in actuality, in reality, survive without the US govt money?
I blame the 3 unvaccinated students in the sociology department who were having a smoke out the back. They need to rounded up, tarred & feathered, whipped within an inch of their lives with their boot laces and tied to a lamp post to put the fear of God in the rest of them. Oh just forgot, there’s no unvaccinated students. Duh!☘️
On my mother's side 12 of her aunts were from Ireland and her dad the baby the only one born in America. Family gatherings were massive events; the dark humor and great story telling added a balance to my life that has been priceless. You can't beat laughter as a coping mechanism and can't beat the Irish for finding a laugh as a silver lining.
Truly! My favorite Irish folk song is “The Waxies’ Dargle ” covered superbly by The Sweeney’s Men. What other culture can produce such a genuinely lighthearted, rollicking perspective on poverty and famine? My maternal grandfather’s people came to this country from Ireland via the Port of New Orleans. “Swamp Irish” he called himself. Very fine, strong, man.
Did a post a few days ago about the infections in the NHL, despite 25% of the leagur having natural immunity already from the previous two years, 115 of +/- 800 players have been infected in less than 3 months. That number has gone up by like 20 or more since I made that post. The difference between them and the general vaccinated population? Consistent testing
Interesting thing about the NHL is... There are no reinfections from last year that I've seen, the tests are occuring in groups (ie. Entire teams getting sick) and symtpoms have been reported. I would posit that it's not false positives, the vaccine is just crap (which is hidden by testing mandates for the unvaccinated, disincentives for testing for the vaccinated) and the virus just isn't concerning for healthy people in their 20s and 30s.
Western nations already had sub replacement birthrates. So the citizens were seeking lower populations but the capitalists ignored it and bought in immigrants.
Maybe, but there are close to 20,000 deaths and 700,000 adverse events related to the COVID19 vaccines on VAERS so maybe being vaccinated has the potential to have worse outcomes than not being vaxxed.
It's horrible that innocent people are suffering and will die because they took the whack-scene; however, I am glad their example is in the news. When a highly jabbed population is sicker than less jabbed populations, there is not much more one needs to see or say. Run from the jab.
This is part of why there is such an extreme push for vaccines, to eliminate the ability to compare to unjabbed. It’s also why they have corruptly defined vaxxed as only including two weeks past 2nd jab of P or M so they can attribute hospitalization and deaths to “unvaxxed.”
Yes, SF, this is all so very transparent now. No one will get these repeat jabs; families talk. I hope we can really reject this at least here in America, so that all the ones who are heavily invested lose an assload of $$.
Sure, James. Nine hundred cases of vaxxine failure don't mean anything at all. But keep demonstrating the complete lack of an ability to think possessed by an absolutely astounding number of people.
Letter my friend sent w/Martha's response to which we will respond over the weekend.
If folks here have any responses that would be relevant please include them here.
President Pollack,
It is hard for me to understand how such COVID measures can continue when the survival rate for a significant majority of the public is greater than 99.95%. It is very hard to believe that these decisions are based on science when there is so much data showing the lack of severity of this illness. Here are the age-stratified statistics of the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) for the disease, recently compiled by John I. A. Ioannides, one of the most prestigious bio-statisticians in the world.
0-19: .0027% (or a survival rate of 99.9973%)
20-29 .014% (or a survival rate of 99,986%)
30-39 .031% (or a survival rate of 99,969%)
40-49 .082% (or a survival rate of 99,918%)
50-59 .27% (or a survival rate of 99.73%)
60-69 .59% (or a survival rate of 99.31%)
More than 70, between 2.4 and 5.5% (or a survival rate of 97.6 and 94.5% depending on residential situation)
Can you please help me understand the rationale for the ongoing restrictive COVID measures and vaccine mandates given such data?
===========
Dear Mr. _______:
Thank you for your message.
While the overall survival rates for COVID-19 may appear reassuringly high, they are only one of the many relevant metrics driving our public health decisions. These data also mask significant differences among sub-populations: for individuals who are older, as well as those who are immunocompromised or otherwise at risk, the chance of death is far higher. There are many, many people in these categories within our campus and local communities, and it is our responsibility to protect them.
Additionally, our concern is not only with disease survivability, but with the many other impacts, known and unknown, of a novel, highly contagious, and potentially severe disease. As has been well documented, even mild presentations of COVID can lead to long-lasting and debilitating symptoms, including in young and healthy people. Moderate and severe cases requiring hospitalization can create an unmanageable burden on the health care system, making it impossible for people with other medical issues to receive care. This is a particular concern as we head into what is expected to be an especially severe flu season.
Finally, a disease with a 99.5% survivability rate, at population level, will result in many, many deaths. At Cornell, with our community of 36,000 people, a policy of unchecked infection could mean 180 deaths. With a hospitalization rate of “only” 2%, 720 people would require hospitalization—a number far beyond Tompkins County’s capacity to care for. And it is important to remember that Cornell forms only part of a larger local community; allowing the virus to spread freely at Cornell would cause illness and death, and even potentially healthcare system collapse, across the region.
While the work and sacrifice required to control the pandemic are unquestionably significant, it is our responsibility as an institution to do what we can to protect everyone in our campus and broader communities. I wish you the best for a safe and healthy holiday break.
I'm no mathematician but Martha's estimates of 180 deaths and 720 hospitalizations is based on the entire Cornell population not accounting for the student body where both deaths and hospitalizations (sans vax) are somewhere close to zero. the vax changes that of course, but the likelihood of vaccine injuries such as myocarditis seem to be absent in her world. Lastly, just wondering if one of those many other impacts that Martha's considering, is Pfizer and Moderna's bottom line.
Here are the 14 questions I asked of them in late October. I won't bother including their boilerplate replies/deflections one of which came from "The Vaccine Team" and the other from the Title IX and Equity Office.
As a part of this process I have some serious concerns about the medical and legal policies that Cornell has currently employed in regards to these mandates. As Cornell University is threatening to remove me from payroll unless I get vaccinated, I have a few questions.
1) Will Cornell be accepting liability if I get injured and am unable to work? How long will it take me to receive injury compensation?
2) What is the potential gain or benefit vs risk of injury in my age demographic if I get the shot? What are the specific benefits if I get the shot? What are the specific risks?
3) What are the current warnings for each experimental biological product?
4) What long-term safety data (36+ months) does Cornell currently utilize to ensure these vaccines are safe for their employees and students?
5) What are all of the ingredients in the shots? Are any of these ingredients carcinogenic, mutagenic, or tetratogenic?
6) Have any of these ingredients been classified as toxins, poisons, or dangerous for human consumption?
7) Will these vaccines confer lasting immunity? Can you send me the data from the randomized clinical trials, including the inert placebo controlled group, that Cornell currently uses to ensure safety for their students and staff? The data on COVID vaccine effectiveness has changed often and has been reduced repeatedly throughout this year. Setting aside that this poor performing experimental vaccine is being administered nationwide, why should I risk taking this vaccine now, given my age and lack of reliable data on effectiveness? How is an internationally recognized research institution such as Cornell University mandating such a poor performing vaccine?
8) Can I still get COVID and transmit the infection even if I’m fully vaccinated? There is a lot of data showing that the vaccines do not prevent transmission. Why should I take such a poor performing vaccine now especially when I am not in a high risk age group?
9) Will the current Covid vaccines protect me against all variants?
10) What is antibody dependent enhancement (ADE)? How will I know if I am experiencing it? Is ADE something that can happen to me if I get the shot?
11) Does Cornell possess and/or utilize any post-inoculation death and injury reports from the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and/or any other international surveillance systems?
12) Can you clarify who the individuals are that designed the Cornell vaccine mandates/policies?
13) As this is an experimental injection will Cornell be tracking adverse events from those who were involved in the Cornell vaccination mandates? Is Cornell currently tracking such events for all students and staff?
14) Can you confirm in writing that I will suffer no harm?
Thank you for your consideration on this important matter.
Yes, I was going to suggest that given they "know" that 180 people will die of Covid if the vax mandate isn't enforced, how many do they "know" will die of the flu, RSV, and/or other respiratory illnesses, and why are they not mandating vaccinations for those?
It’s about time people look this Trojan gift horse in the mouth, stop beating a dead horse by repeating lies like “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” get off their high horse, and hold their horses on this mass global experiment in stupidity.
🤣😂😆 I fell back to sleep and woke up to this punderful cornucopia of comments. I was going to suggest we stop horsing around, but it looks like someone beat me to it 😹
And since we're speaking of horses, maybe they should try horse dewormer for the moronic variant, or whatever other variant they might be enjoying at the moment.
I know—he’s competing for Goebbels Man of the Year Award. Another supposedly countercultural voice who’s gone full-fascist, pro-Establishment propagandist.
I’ve perused the Cornell data— 26,000 students, 97% vaxxed, and yet 1300 student cases THIS week! So despite all the vaccines, the campus has one out twenty kids with COVID this week. Kinda seems like maybe the vax isn’t working too well… but we knew that already.
They’ll just say it came from tiny amount of unvaxxed, or if it is attributed to vaxxed, it would have been much higher had they not been vaccinated. If you say cases are higher than the same time last year when there was no vax, they’ll say it’s the different variant.
Just watched the CEO of Moderna saying that everyone needs to get boosted (steam rising from my head). esp. since I just heard from a SIL that she has heart damage from Moderna jabs. Has to wear a heart monitor. Bet she still gets covid
Last year I nabbed a screenshot of 'covid cases' in colleges, gathered from a bunch of different schools. Out of 100,000ish 'cases', there were THREE hospitalizations. Now maybe school is different than when I matriculated, but back then 3 hospitalizations was a 'slow' weekend of partying.
What exactly are we protecting these kids from, anyway?
I can't wait until they figure out that it is the VAX that is causing severe illness. This world will never be the same. Either way worse, we all die or the Globalists are stopped.
I can't figure out why people still use and cite PCR case data for any type of useful analysis or conclusions. It's well established that PCR testing cannot establish between live and dead nuclei nor can it differentiate between flus, colds and covid. Test cycle thresholds are never mentioned alongside the data, and somehow everyone seems to forget that even the FDA has determined that PCR testing is not suitable for its purpose and is certainly useless at the 40+ levels that many public health authorities use. Can anybody explain to me why unspecified PCR data results are even worthy of analysis?
My son graduated from Cornell Law back in 1995 and if you knew Cornell at all, you would understand they are as nuts as they come. Even my liberal lawyer son would agree with me.
Yet one more example of the futility of connecting with covidians. Only those 30% among us who understand what really is going on understand the totality of the hoax that is covid. Some say there are 40% out there who may be reachable; goodness knows we are running out of time to do so. With every reluctant jab, we lose one more soul who may be convinced, and one more unfortunate soul whose immune system is forever ruined.
Oh dear. James Suroweicki (who used to be very smart) woke up this morning and said to himself, "I think I'll do a self-own in public." Too many shots Jim, too many damn shots.
Today I went to a new dentist for a special on X-rays, cleaning and exam. The dentist looked at the x-rays, did the exam, and began telling me what work I 'have to' have done. I reminded him that in the past 2 years I 'had' to lockdown, "had" to wear a mask, "had" to get jabbed, "had" to show a Jab passport, etc, but as yet I didn't 'have' to do any of what he was 'suggesting' I have done.
He didn't seem to understand, so I think it was a language problem since I live in Latin America (S. Florida). I hope that's all it was. So far, it's still, "My teeth, my choice."
Probably "cases" were just kids with positive tests. How many actually sick? On the other hand... How many students enrolled in Cornell? I guess 900 students are around 1%...
You are right. I was just making an "off-the-cuff" estimate. I was at the University of Iowa in the 80's and they had 60K students. I thought Cornell would be larger and I was dead wrong. So it is 22-25K. So, 4% of the students had a positive test.
Apologies in advance, fellas, you might want to skip this one...
Let's try this, James. What if we were to require that every biological male in this country undergo a radical orchiectomy to prevent testicular cancer, but a year later the rate of testicular cancer was on the rise, with many people not originally considered at risk being diagnosed.
Would we say, "Of course in a world with no testicles, only the testicle-free are suffering testicular cancer?"
My son is a junior at the University of Georgia. Vaxx optional school, he’s not vaxxed. Huge school, football games, all was well the entire semester. Classes in person, no mandatory testing, finals as usual. My daughter lives and works in free and open Miami, living her best life, unvaxxed. The testing and the fear need to stop.
Internet basement dwellers believe that open states/countries are extinct. However populations of open regions are booming instead and people are leaving strict areas.
Adding University of Georgia to my juniors list of potential colleges. High school students need a list of which schools are free/open and which are cowering in fear.
Most public universities in FL, TX and AZ don't require it. Go Gators.
Who knew that Secession 2.0 would be over the issue of vaxx mandates... :)
Hook 'em Horns! :-)
UGA is a great school. We all love it. My daughter graduated from the University of Miami in May; perfect school for her, fabulous job after graduation. My husband and I live in NY — it’s like another world!! Fortunately we’re outside NYC, but the governor just put new insane statewide mandates in place. We’re in FL often. It’s like it’s still 2019 there lol. Good luck with the college search!
and which are becoming Petri dishes for scariants
That is not true. It is the vaxxed that cause the variants. The unvaxxed where the innate immunity is strong, they don't shed. In addition, those with natural immunity act as virus sinks.
If you meant opposite of how I took your post, my apologies.
I did mean the opposite. The jabbed cause the scariants, I believe. I'm naturally immunized, I'm not a spike factory.
no need to apologize.
This sub-thread is so polite. Take note readers, this is what sensible discourse looks like. Good job!
I agree. Steve attracts good people. Nice job Steve
And state schools SC and TN. SC AG actually almost sued College of Charleston for discriminating against unvax which is against state law for state schools
Under the Beshear Fear Machine, Kentucky is to be avoided for the time being.
He seems so nice crying on the tele the other day. Is he not? Or is he toeing party line and might be an okay person?
Beshear Junior aka King Joffrey is not an ok anything. He is the party line. IMO, he's running to be Kamala's VP.
ahhh. so much for him! Kinda understand why he let didn't have any problem with Biden glomming onto his wife and those poor kids
King Joffrey ha
Canada is woke, Mexico is free, northern States are hopeless, southern states are in line with Mexico. Guess what's going on?
WA STATE = mass covid psychosis... masks- EVERYWHERE. SO RIDICULOUS
I'm in WA too. I feel like we need a support group.
It is INSANE! If you have been outside of WA in the last 22 months, away from the west coast, you know what I mean. People are living NORMAL lives everywhere else...People don't understand it unless you go elsewhere to see it in person. (tv doesnt count) lol!
Climate Change?
You'd have to prove that hypothesis. Lack of oxygen or too much CO2?
methane mittens
Ok just looked. A little insane over the East Siberian shelf - up to double what it would have been a year or so ago. Up significantly at Barrow, Alaska as well but that's 10% not 100%.
Concerning for sure.

Borders are moving north. No wonder Trump didn't end up building a wall.
I'm rooting for Georgia in the CFP. I'm sure your son is, too!
You bet! Go Dawgs!
How Bout Them Dawgs! I went to about all the games, but I'm naturally immune, so I was safer than anyone else. We had some great days, and all that Vitamin D from the sunshine was great.
Wonderful to hear! 💕
I work at Cornell- soon to be "let go" due to refusing their mandate. A good friend who is also refusing the mandate is also being "let go." He has a prominent position.
We are both "taking on" the University- specifically the administrators that are designing and pushing these mandates. I am going to post our exchanges with the administration over the past three days. I hope that is okay. I will do this in two separate entries.

6) There are numerous universities throughout the country that are not employing the "strategies" employed at Cornell and are having little to no problem with infections or cases- this with very large social gatherings of all types. How does the administration reconcile this fact with what is happening at Cornell?
A) Omicron.
Students are paying $60-80K a year (or going into massive debt) to be blamed for catching an endemic, highly transmissible, and not very dangerous respiratory virus.
Why are they doing this?
The answer is $imple.
Cornell receives copious amounts of federal grant money from Fauci led NIH/NIAID. Fauci is a Cornell grad from Weill school of medicine.
Cornell receives copious amounts of money from BMGF- 2nd in amount received behind only Johns Hopkins in the US University system- they may have fallen to 3rd as of last year will have to double check- in any case lots of money.
Cornell has been tapped to be one of the leading institutions for the mRNA biomedical juggernaut that is underway. Extreme amounts of investments have been poured into this. They already have the research facilities set up for this and are expanding on it.
Also one of the reasons Australia is under the pump, billion dollar mRNA manufacturing being set up in Brisbane and Melbourne. Australia won't recover from this betrayal of SE Asia.
Health care is approaching $6 trillion a year in the US. Disease management is now the largest economic driver in our country.
Most people think the Military is the largest piece of the US $17 trillion/year GDP- it is not even close any more though still bloated.
The military as a Ponzi Scheme (see phony "War on Terror") can no longer prop up the US debt machine so they turned elsewhere when the economy cratered in Fall 2019.
The US is the foundation of most of the Western economies around the world.
War has been replaced by disease as the primary "economic" driver, they need larger and larger-scale health crises to keep the economy going.
They have nowhere else to go to halt the collapse of their corrupt financial system other than to invent a Martian invasion.
The "martian invasion" is next. Not joking.
Complete with CGI or javascript I guess.
The military and medicine have marched in lockstep for centuries. Now they are locking arms.
I do not know.
Even community colleges are receiving millions from the fed to keep the hoax going. I left my job at a community college.
Summary analysis of their responses: Do not ask us to even attempt to make sense of any of this or our response to the outbreak. We interview people and rely on them to tell us where they got an invisible airborne virus, which is something they can't possibly know, and we trust they'd tell us the truth if they were doing something they weren't supposed to be doing on campus. It's called science! And we blame Omicron....even though Delta is still the dominant variant here. And by the way, here are links to CDC propaganda on the efficacy of the vaccines and masks that have been proven false by the actual science. Thanks for asking, now stop interrupting the narrative.
That's pretty accurate.
That's fabulous thank you for fighting with facts and showing these tyrants for the fools they are. This was my favorite question because it captures the absurdity of the policies so nicely but the entire list of questions is perfectly brilliant. Bravo!
"In this letter there is an assertion that vaccines are our best protection. Based on the two questions above does this then imply that the vaccines work in academic settings but not in social settings?"
It is so refreshing to know that there are still people in our institutes of higher learning that are willing to stand on principle no matter what. I have nothing but respect for people like yourself Allen. Stand strong. I believe if there's ever an end to this madness, it will be people like yourself and your friend that will help pave the way for the future of our country and humanity. It may be difficult now, but it pales in comparison to how difficult it will be if people who know better continue to comply with this agenda (and it's pretty obvious by now that it *is* an agenda. People that can't see that by now are, sadly, lost I think). Thanks for taking a stand!
I was the ESH Director of a DOE National Laboratory and was terminated in August due to the Princeton University vaccine mandate. It’s a shame more ESH professionals can’t cut through the BS and see what’s going on… For example, we all have understood for decades that cloth “masks” are ineffective against an aerosolized virus, yet that has been thrown to wind to support the narrative. The CDC states on their website that masks used for COVID protection are ineffective against wild fire smoke, yet this smoke has a particle size larger than the virus. If the CDC isn’t speaking out of both sides of their mouth, they aren’t speaking. It’s a travesty….
I’m sorry to hear that you are receiving no support from people that should know better. This ESH Director would have your back.
Monkeys are "trained." Anyone in charge of the welfare of students should be EDUCATED.
Also, when one combines two complete sentences into one longer sentence, the join should be a semi-colon, not a comma. (Relating to this statement by the college: No I don’t believe so, the spike in cases in driven by the presence of the latest variant of concern...)
This is a prestigious university, and yet they literally have NO answers. All they are doing is punting off to some amorphous "authority."
I'll be rooting for you!
Sad... stupidity and Fear in action. Also... 'follow the rules', 'I was only taking orders !' mentality. Pretty Stupid for such a 'brainy' university. Good luck with your challenge.
It's not stupidity or fear- it's money.
It's devious, scheming egomaniacs.
Are the followers acting out of fear? Can you explain?
No, not for the most part, though there is some of that here. But that layer of fear is actually paper thin- you literally go to every adjacent county and the level of insanity is nowhere near what it is here. And this is directly due to how Cornell forces the narrative down everyone's throats.
There is a very strong element of conformity to this narrative in order to keep not only your paid position but also your perceived social status.
The 'followers' are for the most part being coerced, bullied, gaslit and threatened with loss of job.
The students have been bullied, intimidated and beaten down by the University. It's 100% thuggish behavior. I could give you dozens of examples. It's well-heeled mafioso behavior.
I am very active in talking to the students about all of this and am one of the few who have been doing in-person classes (without a mask BTW) for the last 3 semesters. I have asked well over 100 students questions regarding the "vaccines." Not a single one of them, not one, knew anything about the ingredients or anything about the companies making them. There is ZERO informed consent- it's all coercion.
Almost none of them wanted to take the "vaccine", only a few, and most did so to "get back to normal" and to avoid being thrown out of the school.
I'm pretty sure it's the same as here. At Otago Uni they, the Govt, have an enthusiastic supporter of their madness even though it is not in the student's interests.
At Otago Poly there was more pushback, they took longer to mandate vacinations.
Both did it during the student breaks (basically earlyish November until Mid February).
Literally all their funding comes from Ardern's government. And that is, in my view, the key to these shit mandates.
Well hey, here's some good news: "Masks have been shown to reduce aerosolization of vaccine thus helping to further reduce your risk." Mask up, everybody!
oh good! so it's healthy to breathe in the spikes your body is trying hard to expel.
BS... check < https://swprs.org/face-masks-evidence >
Thank you for sharing and best of luck!
Huh? that's a new one - "Masks have been shown to reduce aerosolization of vaccine thus helping to further reduce your risk."
Who's lie is this?
whose lie is it? who's there? have a nice day.
I read your comments posted on a previous threads. This is horrible.
THINK NOW. Who are the people, colleges businesses etc that receive money and subsidies from the US govt? Who wants to continue to receive money from the US Govt? Who cannot, in actuality, in reality, survive without the US govt money?
I blame the 3 unvaccinated students in the sociology department who were having a smoke out the back. They need to rounded up, tarred & feathered, whipped within an inch of their lives with their boot laces and tied to a lamp post to put the fear of God in the rest of them. Oh just forgot, there’s no unvaccinated students. Duh!☘️
Have to keep it light - it’s an Irish thing☘️
On my mother's side 12 of her aunts were from Ireland and her dad the baby the only one born in America. Family gatherings were massive events; the dark humor and great story telling added a balance to my life that has been priceless. You can't beat laughter as a coping mechanism and can't beat the Irish for finding a laugh as a silver lining.
That's great altogether - have a very Happy Christmas and here's hoping that GlobalCap gets their arses well kicked next year
GlobalCap? I looked it up but...
Read CJ Hopkins' blog "Consent Factory" - all will be explained
laughed through genocide, land theft, forced famine, and come out swinging. Can't keep em down.
Truly! My favorite Irish folk song is “The Waxies’ Dargle ” covered superbly by The Sweeney’s Men. What other culture can produce such a genuinely lighthearted, rollicking perspective on poverty and famine? My maternal grandfather’s people came to this country from Ireland via the Port of New Orleans. “Swamp Irish” he called himself. Very fine, strong, man.
The Irish are the funniest people on earth- entertainment-wise. But I might be biased.
I'm biased too. and the best huggers.
Practically snap yer spine! The feckers.
Also of Irish descent - we say "gallows humor" and "if ye can't laugh, ye may as well lay down and die."
Nailed it & in my ear the phrase has a wee bit of brogue, cheers to that!
Me grandma was straight off the boat. We loved her brogue.
That suggests the vaccines are virtually useless
Useless for what? They're great for those who want to maim and kill.
You read my mind.
BigPharma's version of optimism 😅
Did a post a few days ago about the infections in the NHL, despite 25% of the leagur having natural immunity already from the previous two years, 115 of +/- 800 players have been infected in less than 3 months. That number has gone up by like 20 or more since I made that post. The difference between them and the general vaccinated population? Consistent testing
Yes. I read the article about the NFL. They don't mention anyone beong sick. They have an "outbreak" of positive tests.
Interesting thing about the NHL is... There are no reinfections from last year that I've seen, the tests are occuring in groups (ie. Entire teams getting sick) and symtpoms have been reported. I would posit that it's not false positives, the vaccine is just crap (which is hidden by testing mandates for the unvaccinated, disincentives for testing for the vaccinated) and the virus just isn't concerning for healthy people in their 20s and 30s.
except as a marvelous revenue stream with no legal liability and, now, heart and lung patients for decades... 😕
Paid for by taxpayers
to help protect against a virus created using taxpayer dollars
The perfect business model
excellent point!
Tell that to the 40 new billionaires who got rich from vaccines..😋 Not to mention the $200 billion Bill Gates has made from vaccines.
Nah, they work as a birth control device. Might come in handy bout now....
Western nations already had sub replacement birthrates. So the citizens were seeking lower populations but the capitalists ignored it and bought in immigrants.
Bingo ! Now you've got it Chappie !
What percentage of the over 900 cases of COVID...
- died
- were hospitalized
- were on a ventilator
- were sick at home
- knew they had the virus
A case is just a number until it has significance. But unassigned numbers, apparently, are scary.
excellent point
Same outcome as if unvaxxed.
https://markoshinskie8de.substack.com/p/why-do-liberals-support-lockdowns
Maybe, but there are close to 20,000 deaths and 700,000 adverse events related to the COVID19 vaccines on VAERS so maybe being vaccinated has the potential to have worse outcomes than not being vaxxed.
It's horrible that innocent people are suffering and will die because they took the whack-scene; however, I am glad their example is in the news. When a highly jabbed population is sicker than less jabbed populations, there is not much more one needs to see or say. Run from the jab.
This is part of why there is such an extreme push for vaccines, to eliminate the ability to compare to unjabbed. It’s also why they have corruptly defined vaxxed as only including two weeks past 2nd jab of P or M so they can attribute hospitalization and deaths to “unvaxxed.”
Yes, SF, this is all so very transparent now. No one will get these repeat jabs; families talk. I hope we can really reject this at least here in America, so that all the ones who are heavily invested lose an assload of $$.
I love whack-scene
Sure, James. Nine hundred cases of vaxxine failure don't mean anything at all. But keep demonstrating the complete lack of an ability to think possessed by an absolutely astounding number of people.
Haha. Or, as per Gato, a complete lack of an ability to DRINK. Poor guy just drowned, and hasn't realized it yet. Bu-bye.
Poor James..... He's been psyop'd so much he is now unable to connect the dots.... It's obvious
Lumpen gonna lumpen
Letter my friend sent w/Martha's response to which we will respond over the weekend.
If folks here have any responses that would be relevant please include them here.
President Pollack,
It is hard for me to understand how such COVID measures can continue when the survival rate for a significant majority of the public is greater than 99.95%. It is very hard to believe that these decisions are based on science when there is so much data showing the lack of severity of this illness. Here are the age-stratified statistics of the Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) for the disease, recently compiled by John I. A. Ioannides, one of the most prestigious bio-statisticians in the world.
0-19: .0027% (or a survival rate of 99.9973%)
20-29 .014% (or a survival rate of 99,986%)
30-39 .031% (or a survival rate of 99,969%)
40-49 .082% (or a survival rate of 99,918%)
50-59 .27% (or a survival rate of 99.73%)
60-69 .59% (or a survival rate of 99.31%)
More than 70, between 2.4 and 5.5% (or a survival rate of 97.6 and 94.5% depending on residential situation)
Can you please help me understand the rationale for the ongoing restrictive COVID measures and vaccine mandates given such data?
===========
Dear Mr. _______:
Thank you for your message.
While the overall survival rates for COVID-19 may appear reassuringly high, they are only one of the many relevant metrics driving our public health decisions. These data also mask significant differences among sub-populations: for individuals who are older, as well as those who are immunocompromised or otherwise at risk, the chance of death is far higher. There are many, many people in these categories within our campus and local communities, and it is our responsibility to protect them.
Additionally, our concern is not only with disease survivability, but with the many other impacts, known and unknown, of a novel, highly contagious, and potentially severe disease. As has been well documented, even mild presentations of COVID can lead to long-lasting and debilitating symptoms, including in young and healthy people. Moderate and severe cases requiring hospitalization can create an unmanageable burden on the health care system, making it impossible for people with other medical issues to receive care. This is a particular concern as we head into what is expected to be an especially severe flu season.
Finally, a disease with a 99.5% survivability rate, at population level, will result in many, many deaths. At Cornell, with our community of 36,000 people, a policy of unchecked infection could mean 180 deaths. With a hospitalization rate of “only” 2%, 720 people would require hospitalization—a number far beyond Tompkins County’s capacity to care for. And it is important to remember that Cornell forms only part of a larger local community; allowing the virus to spread freely at Cornell would cause illness and death, and even potentially healthcare system collapse, across the region.
While the work and sacrifice required to control the pandemic are unquestionably significant, it is our responsibility as an institution to do what we can to protect everyone in our campus and broader communities. I wish you the best for a safe and healthy holiday break.
Sincerely,
Martha E. Pollack
I'm no mathematician but Martha's estimates of 180 deaths and 720 hospitalizations is based on the entire Cornell population not accounting for the student body where both deaths and hospitalizations (sans vax) are somewhere close to zero. the vax changes that of course, but the likelihood of vaccine injuries such as myocarditis seem to be absent in her world. Lastly, just wondering if one of those many other impacts that Martha's considering, is Pfizer and Moderna's bottom line.
Here are the 14 questions I asked of them in late October. I won't bother including their boilerplate replies/deflections one of which came from "The Vaccine Team" and the other from the Title IX and Equity Office.
As a part of this process I have some serious concerns about the medical and legal policies that Cornell has currently employed in regards to these mandates. As Cornell University is threatening to remove me from payroll unless I get vaccinated, I have a few questions.
1) Will Cornell be accepting liability if I get injured and am unable to work? How long will it take me to receive injury compensation?
2) What is the potential gain or benefit vs risk of injury in my age demographic if I get the shot? What are the specific benefits if I get the shot? What are the specific risks?
3) What are the current warnings for each experimental biological product?
4) What long-term safety data (36+ months) does Cornell currently utilize to ensure these vaccines are safe for their employees and students?
5) What are all of the ingredients in the shots? Are any of these ingredients carcinogenic, mutagenic, or tetratogenic?
6) Have any of these ingredients been classified as toxins, poisons, or dangerous for human consumption?
7) Will these vaccines confer lasting immunity? Can you send me the data from the randomized clinical trials, including the inert placebo controlled group, that Cornell currently uses to ensure safety for their students and staff? The data on COVID vaccine effectiveness has changed often and has been reduced repeatedly throughout this year. Setting aside that this poor performing experimental vaccine is being administered nationwide, why should I risk taking this vaccine now, given my age and lack of reliable data on effectiveness? How is an internationally recognized research institution such as Cornell University mandating such a poor performing vaccine?
8) Can I still get COVID and transmit the infection even if I’m fully vaccinated? There is a lot of data showing that the vaccines do not prevent transmission. Why should I take such a poor performing vaccine now especially when I am not in a high risk age group?
9) Will the current Covid vaccines protect me against all variants?
10) What is antibody dependent enhancement (ADE)? How will I know if I am experiencing it? Is ADE something that can happen to me if I get the shot?
11) Does Cornell possess and/or utilize any post-inoculation death and injury reports from the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and/or any other international surveillance systems?
12) Can you clarify who the individuals are that designed the Cornell vaccine mandates/policies?
13) As this is an experimental injection will Cornell be tracking adverse events from those who were involved in the Cornell vaccination mandates? Is Cornell currently tracking such events for all students and staff?
14) Can you confirm in writing that I will suffer no harm?
Thank you for your consideration on this important matter.
Respectfully yours,
___________
And all at once re the hospitalizations. Not stretched out over the year. Also exaggeration.
Wow, so no normal school ever again. These hysterical metrics can be applied to the flu.
Yes, I was going to suggest that given they "know" that 180 people will die of Covid if the vax mandate isn't enforced, how many do they "know" will die of the flu, RSV, and/or other respiratory illnesses, and why are they not mandating vaccinations for those?
All points to the reasons for this being in an increasing awareness in society that we're run by scum. And the scum are trying to put the lid back on.
I've heard that "virus are nasty little things". To which I asked "what is a virus then". Because viruses, the ones we're told about, have no agency.
seems she didn't read your letter.
It’s about time people look this Trojan gift horse in the mouth, stop beating a dead horse by repeating lies like “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” get off their high horse, and hold their horses on this mass global experiment in stupidity.
Unbridled stupidity
Zing!
🤣
you trying to stirrup a pun war?
You must all be punnished. This is too serious for horsing around.
But I want to know: what is your mane point?
If you want to know I'm afraid you're going to have to pony up.
This sure is a trough crowd.
Now if only we could harness all this creativity.
There you go, trotting out the old excuses again.
🤣😂😆 I fell back to sleep and woke up to this punderful cornucopia of comments. I was going to suggest we stop horsing around, but it looks like someone beat me to it 😹
Someone needs to rein it in.
In that vein the rumour in NZ is that the State bridal party is off.
If it behoofs him to do so.
1,2,3,4, I declare pun war
😂🤣

And since we're speaking of horses, maybe they should try horse dewormer for the moronic variant, or whatever other variant they might be enjoying at the moment.
But, will they??? Neigh, neigh.
But who would "pony up" for all of the wreckage?
😹
How do we rein them in and curb their stupid?
Corral them if you can, but it might be too late. That particular horse has left the barn.
look what you started...and...thank you
Howard Stern is on the air daily calling for violence against the unjabbed.
I know—he’s competing for Goebbels Man of the Year Award. Another supposedly countercultural voice who’s gone full-fascist, pro-Establishment propagandist.
Jewish identified people can get away with it. Oh the irony.
let's not forget the four horsemen of the apocalypse
I’ve perused the Cornell data— 26,000 students, 97% vaxxed, and yet 1300 student cases THIS week! So despite all the vaccines, the campus has one out twenty kids with COVID this week. Kinda seems like maybe the vax isn’t working too well… but we knew that already.
They’ll just say it came from tiny amount of unvaxxed, or if it is attributed to vaxxed, it would have been much higher had they not been vaccinated. If you say cases are higher than the same time last year when there was no vax, they’ll say it’s the different variant.
Not boostered enough?
I have a simple question. How can you call the vaccine a vaccine if it does NOT vaccinate you against something? Asking for a friend…
Step 1: Change the definition of vaccine.
https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/newspeak-is-upon-us
Step One: Get a job with the CDC
The kids should Sue the school for requiring it.
THE NARRATIVE MUST BE UPHELD
they are all kids and won't get sick any way, except for the clots and myocarditis......
the only sure thing is big pharma assets are safe from litigation.
Just watched the CEO of Moderna saying that everyone needs to get boosted (steam rising from my head). esp. since I just heard from a SIL that she has heart damage from Moderna jabs. Has to wear a heart monitor. Bet she still gets covid
The safest most effective vaccine in the history of the world

Oops deleted in error!
I saw the Cornell thing the other day. I think there was supposed to be a graduation today. Cancelled due to high cases.
I don’t know why people don’t do the math! Most vaccinated countries=most cases of covid. Israel and Gibraltar for example!
add in England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Vermont, Mass etc etc etc - plain as day
They don't do the math for many things. Mattias Desmet is right that in many ways they are truly hypnotized.
However some are gradually coming to their senses. Not the hardcore sheep but some of the more moderate folks in the middle.
They want to blame the deaths on the unvaxxed, and they are succeeding.
Stock up and stay at home for a year.
I have enough food for several months and my good friend close by for 3 years... if worse comes to worst.
I've planted pumpkins on the lawn.
Why the hell not?
5% of the population getting the virus in a week despite full vaccination is not alarming. Nothing to see here.
Last year I nabbed a screenshot of 'covid cases' in colleges, gathered from a bunch of different schools. Out of 100,000ish 'cases', there were THREE hospitalizations. Now maybe school is different than when I matriculated, but back then 3 hospitalizations was a 'slow' weekend of partying.
What exactly are we protecting these kids from, anyway?
When you think about it, actually, the vaccines are working as planned.
So safe, so effective
I blame their health policy department. Dumbasses, if only they had gotten the 4th and 5th boosters. I guess some people will never learn.
I can't wait until they figure out that it is the VAX that is causing severe illness. This world will never be the same. Either way worse, we all die or the Globalists are stopped.
I loved his book in grad school; now I know he’s a total moron. So many bad tweets, so many wrong takes.
I wonder how many of these kids will get sick, how many people will get sick because of them. Those vaccines are worse than useless.
Yep, like drowning man.
It’s over his head.
The vaccine facilitates infection maybe? My my…🤔
I can't figure out why people still use and cite PCR case data for any type of useful analysis or conclusions. It's well established that PCR testing cannot establish between live and dead nuclei nor can it differentiate between flus, colds and covid. Test cycle thresholds are never mentioned alongside the data, and somehow everyone seems to forget that even the FDA has determined that PCR testing is not suitable for its purpose and is certainly useless at the 40+ levels that many public health authorities use. Can anybody explain to me why unspecified PCR data results are even worthy of analysis?
That drives me insane, as well. The PCR test is b.s. so all the talk of cases is, too.
My son graduated from Cornell Law back in 1995 and if you knew Cornell at all, you would understand they are as nuts as they come. Even my liberal lawyer son would agree with me.
A coincidence, I’m sure.
Yet one more example of the futility of connecting with covidians. Only those 30% among us who understand what really is going on understand the totality of the hoax that is covid. Some say there are 40% out there who may be reachable; goodness knows we are running out of time to do so. With every reluctant jab, we lose one more soul who may be convinced, and one more unfortunate soul whose immune system is forever ruined.
Looking at the feed of this James Surowiecki, I would guess that he is baffled by the oddity of it since it causes cognitive dissonance in his priors.
Oh dear. James Suroweicki (who used to be very smart) woke up this morning and said to himself, "I think I'll do a self-own in public." Too many shots Jim, too many damn shots.
Today I went to a new dentist for a special on X-rays, cleaning and exam. The dentist looked at the x-rays, did the exam, and began telling me what work I 'have to' have done. I reminded him that in the past 2 years I 'had' to lockdown, "had" to wear a mask, "had" to get jabbed, "had" to show a Jab passport, etc, but as yet I didn't 'have' to do any of what he was 'suggesting' I have done.
He didn't seem to understand, so I think it was a language problem since I live in Latin America (S. Florida). I hope that's all it was. So far, it's still, "My teeth, my choice."
They never make the easy stroll to the logical conclusion. They remain confounded and then thank their god for the booster.
it's MATH, gato, it's MATH :-)
Surowiecki has had these moments over the part few years, sadly fleeting, where he almost perceives the broad set of lies he has been told.
Probably "cases" were just kids with positive tests. How many actually sick? On the other hand... How many students enrolled in Cornell? I guess 900 students are around 1%...
90K students at Cornell.
Uh, no.
about 22k and about 3k faculty
You are right. I was just making an "off-the-cuff" estimate. I was at the University of Iowa in the 80's and they had 60K students. I thought Cornell would be larger and I was dead wrong. So it is 22-25K. So, 4% of the students had a positive test.
🙄
Yet slapping a horse won’t make it smarter lol
safe and effective AND DON'T FORGET FREE!!!
Proving once again that vaccine passports are useless.
You can lead a horse to water but holding its head under will get you in trouble with the animal rights groups. :o
well maybe young kids shouldn't be getting shots and the booster...maybe? Huh?
The narrative is falling to bits because the facts are glaringly obvious.
Apologies in advance, fellas, you might want to skip this one...
Let's try this, James. What if we were to require that every biological male in this country undergo a radical orchiectomy to prevent testicular cancer, but a year later the rate of testicular cancer was on the rise, with many people not originally considered at risk being diagnosed.
Would we say, "Of course in a world with no testicles, only the testicle-free are suffering testicular cancer?"
Can you spell Sycophant?
So that's why the courses became virtually... virtual.
