Totally agree; I think the impact of relatively robust federalism in the USA was clear already with SD's refusal to lockdown in the Spring of 2020; then the defection and strengthening opposition of DeSantis and some other red govs. Compared to Australia, Canada (federal systems in name only for the most part) we have been subjected to only Pandemic-lite in the US. In Dec 21, el gato posted interstate migration numbers for mid 2020-mid 2021 - which showed huge net gains for FL and, in general, red states. "Voting with your feet" - still is a possibility in the US - the driver seemed to be particularly pandemic school closure policies

The real test is always what happens when the authorities come for your kids. I'll never recover from seeing blue state parents toss their offspring onto the sacrificial pyres--and then whine on Twitter about all the negative effects. Rats do better at parenting, overall.

Crazy. My best friend fr childhood lives in SF said her 10 yr old spotting, you think it’s normal she said - maybe easily could be. My daughter 13. I said did you give her the vaccine. Long silence. Then finally she said all her friends are vaxxed. I just couldn’t even anymore. I’ve ranted to the point with my close mom friends here where I think a few of them that I drove crazy are finally happy I did as they are vaxxed but didn’t do the kids. I know they were annoyed by the endless articles but now grateful. But I couldn’t with my dear old friend whose husband is a surgeon. I just said look up the connection with menstruation and blood issues. Oh is there one she said. Please don’t give her anymore is all I could say. And we moved on.

This is what makes me insane. I've only a HS education and a year's worth of college credits, but all my life I've done my reading and considering. I believe in my own experiences and judgment; I take no one's word for anything even if I feel, in general, their sensibilities are mine. A principle can be good but its real-life execution might be faulty. The second they began demonizing "doing your own research," I knew we were well-fucked.

You are a free thinker! People think knowledge equals power. It doesn't. Knowledge in ACTION equals power. Sounds like it's served you well!

Awful. I’m here in this awful place yet in our county it says 60% vaccinated for the 5-11 year olds. Bad but at least not all of them!

Your friend is lucky to have you in her life. And it's shocking how many medical people are clueless. But do remember that early menarche in girls has become more and more commonplace, brought on by hormones in cosmetics (I shudder when I see little girls playing with makeup, for numerous reasons) and also in our food. It may not be the jab. But, yeah, it's true - in all likelihood it is. So tragic. Keep ranting!

Any parent who allows their child to be injected commits a war crime. When a kid gets damaged the parents should be given a free noose and a ladder to climb a tree.

They ate their own. Like so many "Tilipia"

I suspect there'd be a significant amount of migration out of Canada and Australia, if the governments of those countries hadn't imprisoned the pureblood populations inside their own borders.

I am in Canada. Some have left -- I think you could drive, but not fly, across to the US before the US required vax to come in. My vax free friends and I wonder if Ontario is lying about how many took the jab -- to make it seem like "everyone else is doing it, why not you?"

And there will be more leaving Canada, bet on it.

We are getting our Mexican Residency documentation underway, as a precaution. Zero trust on the Canadian system of governance, this is a maniacal country of zealots and radical socialists. If they lock us down again, we arrange our private flights to Mexico, even if it’s expensive, we refuse live any longer under their ridiculous oppression, even if it means starting over in Mexico.

We have the resources to do it, at least temporarily (4 years) until either Trudeau is defeated, and if not, get Permanent Residency and be gone from Canuckistan PERMANENTLY

I've been assuming the vaxx statistics are fabricated from day one.

Moving to the US isn't entirely straightforward. You also need a work visa, which not everyone can get so easily.

I've been highly suspicious of the jab stats too, they had to beat them up to encourage others to join the herd.

In Australia it's reported that more than 95% of the population over the age of 16 years is 'fully vaccinated'. Many children are jabbed too, even the 5-11 year olds, see this link: https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2022/04/covid-19-vaccine-rollout-update-17-april-2022.pdf

The jab stats might be genuine in Australia due to the mandates. I'm wondering if Australia might be one of the most jabbed countries in the world under mandates? There's relentless pressure to submit to the jabs here, via politicians, doctors, academics and the corporate media.

It's appalling in Australia, the states have mandated the jabs for various occupations, e.g. healthcare and aged care and others, but what is the evidence supporting mandates? I've asked this in South Australia and they refuse to provide the evidence.

Victoria and Western Australia are some of the worst states, where you have to be jabbed to do almost anything. The vile dictator in Victoria, Daniel Andrews, calls it the 'vaccinated economy'.

It's been so shocking to see how easily Australians have slipped into discrimination and segregation, with those critical thinking people unable to give their consent to the defective jabs being ostracised.

It really is a disgraceful period in Australia's history.

It remains to be seen how this is going to play out across the population if so many people really are jabbed, and what this will mean for the future health of the community.

I fear we are living in the biggest crime of all time, with the people pressured, coerced and manipulated to submit to the defective Covid-19 'leaky vaccines', and with 'valid voluntary consent' trashed. The doctors have let this happen, indeed they have been complicit in this disaster.

Yes I have a friend who is a doctor in NY state -- I used to think she was smart. Some of her defenses of the vax are shocking -- I mean she doesn't want to hear about negative effects and resorts to bullying when we try to discuss. And she didn't know what "non-sterilizing vaccine" meant until I explained.

She doesn’t deserve you. Medical people who have fallen for this are the most disappointing. All you ever needed to know what who was lying; only schooling in common sense was required.

There are obvious but often "not discussed in polite company risks" to medical professionals if they question official dogma: losing one's license, or admission privileges, grants, or simply being made fun of by colleagues; all these are powerful behavior shapers.

Doctors are often stereotyped as having a God complex, thinking they know it all and they dismiss anyone questioning their wisdom. Of course, an inflated ego is a risk in many specialties. But let's analyze this quickly:

Your average MD is in fact a highly trained professional, assuming she has completed standard training. But what, overall, does that training consist of? Those interested can consult the syllabus of a medical school. But plain common sense says that an MD learns about the human body and its many systems, what causes illness and what keeps it healthy. And so on. But the critical point is that, of necessity, she learns a LITTLE about a LOT. Their expertise is very broad but overall it is superficial.

To be sure, the above is a generalization. We would expect a cardiologist, say, to specialize in heart and circulatory disorders.

In other words, the average MD cannot possibly know in deep detail ALL aspects about health or medicine. This means it's a statistical near-certainty that any randomly selected MD or similar medical professional knows virtually nothing about the underlying science behind, say, cornoaviruses.

It may sound cheeky, but I believe it's a fact that a layman could become more knowledgeable than 99.9% of general practitioners (MDs) IN A VERY NARROW AREA (such as Covid-19) even with just a few hours' worth of reading source material.

Does it sound arrogant? Especially if you've been reading here and similar web sites for even a few weeks, it's quite likely you know far more about the pandemic, the illness, the treatments, the risks, than your doctor does. Doesn't exact inspire confidence in our medical system, does it?

Remember that heart doctor I mentioned above? If he (or indeed any MD) recommends you get a Covid-19 "vaccine," to me that's a red flag that he is either ignorant or compromised. Either is a danger to your health. Find another doctor ASAP.

You are correct. Many of the “gods” are, in fact, so specialized and so proud of it that they lack broad understanding. Most appear not to even have a grasp of high school biology, but by far their greatest deficit is caused by their capture by the pharmaceutical industry. It begins early, and we have witnessed the devastating result.

THIS RIGHT THERE ^^^^ (what Gaye said.) This is the direct result of the capture of the trillion-dollar Pharma industry. Their Random Controlled Studies are highly faked and fraudulent.

They are all about finding the next bright and shiny pills to SELL YOU, and not so much about whether they actually work, or in fact might kill you. (Gotta break a few omelettes, etc., etc.)

My wife is an RN of 24 years. When we lived on the West Coast, she ate out at least 2x a month at restaurants that cost almost as much as a mortgage payment - sponsored of course by some Pharma salesperson. Steaks as thick as my forearm from the tops of 65-story skyscraper restaurants.

Exactly. It’s called “grooming” and results are the same.

I left Canada (sadly) in 1982 after grad school. Has anyone heard from the surge of Americans who emigrated there in huff after Trump was elected in 2016?

As far as vax rates go, I take this position as definitive: Philadelphia (Deep Blue) Health Official (mid summer 2021): "No one knows what the real number [% vaxed] is; we don't even look at the CDC numbers anymore."

Realize too, that in addition to official lying and mis-counting [e.g. missed vax appointments] there is an enormous rate of fraud in practitioner billing of Medicare/caid - probably somewhat less for private insurers. Do you think that vax reimbursement claims are a high priority for the fraud investigators? How much do you think that overstates already low rates among minorities?

I’ve been saying since April 2019 that South Dakota and Sweden did it right.
