She was my friend of 51 years and had been the instrument* of my eventually having my life's treasure, and there are no words to fully encompass the rift in the fabric of the universe that she was made to suffer so monstrously.

She was in the UK so I didn't see her more than three years of physical destruction myself. When her sister sent me a series of photos and I saw what she looked like at the end, I can't describe the horror. I had to steady myself and look again very closely to see that her eyes were herself as always.

So many people everywhere have seen this done to their precious ones. And yet no Western bureaucracy has fallen. Redfield for example found his courage once it was too late to matter.

my parents did not know each other during the war,. So each of them had a completely different experience. They shared every single thing with us. A lot of it was ugly, very bad. there were no good memories of those years. good things did happen, my uncle lived underneath the house in a hole under the living room floor. He made a tiny little radio that he could get news and information. some of it was in code. Interesting stories from him as well.

My mom died in '03 from cancer...two weeks after her diagnosis. It's one of the reasons I know that medicine is very much an art at times, and that they can get things wrong. Dad died in '07 from complications rising from rheumatoid arthritis. I am also grateful they didn't have to go through this. I doubt my dad would ever have said "I demand accommodation for my disease." Rather, he would be one of those defying isolation (if he had been hospitalized) and demanding "normal" rather than "stay home/stay safe.

The strong-willed crusader types are always problematic in leadership roles, mainly because their more intense focus results in bigger blind spots. Against the big medical/big pharma/big government alliance, the best leader would be a quiet, unassuming, but capable strategist without the official cabinet position. The Regime has done this quite successfully. The vast majority of Americans have no idea who is running the government, while the rest have some idea but are not 100% certain. It's hard to target someone who you don't see.

"Public health" never should have been. You have your health, I have my health, every individual has their health. We don't have "group health." If you have high cholesterol, that doesn't mean I have high cholesterol. If I have meningitis, it doesn't mean you have meningitis. The government can't protect us from illness and disease, nor can the medical industrial complex. We need to end this idea of public health and each individual going back to taking responsibility for his or her own well-being. We certainly don't need government intervention into our personal medical decisions, nor do we need them forcing pharmaceuticals on us.

Just take any individual good and put the words "public" or "instutionalized" in front of it, and you will create the opposite.

Take that another step and apply it to the practice of requiring government licenses, certification, registration in many trades and professions. Ostensibly for "public safety." Electricians, architects, realters, massage, nurses, etc. Public safety/health concerns, fiduciary responsibility concerns, etc. But what happens more often than not is the government approval is used for barriers to entry, fewer providers/same #customers = higher income/expense. AND...licensing/certification/registration means your profession/business takes on a silent partner with majority control.

Many businesses and professionals lost their ability to operate and earn a living in 2020-2022 fearful of losing their license, not fear of criminal enforcement in most cases. They didn't want to lose their licenses that were threatened and revoked for noncompliant. Their silent majority partner spoke. The unlicensed businesses, professions, self-employed had much more freedom and latitude to defy government edicts. As majority owners they could.

In Communist China every single business operates with the State as their silent majority partner that owns 51% of them. Without exception. That's how they blended economic enterprise with communism. Business operators and investors have profit incentive, keeping 49% of profits, not for nothing. But the State has final say over business decisions and can "veto" any decision they don't approve. Professional licensing/certification/registration in the US is de facto the same. But since it's to "protect the public" it's not blended communism. Nope.

Public Health only exists because of the questionable theory of contagion. No contagion, no lockdowns, no control, no swindle, no profit.

Expand full comment

An ahistorical perspective. Public health has been a great tool for improving health and longevity overall. It has been the driver of sanitation,clean water and the near eradication of previously crippling/deadly diseases such as smallpox,tuberculosis,malaria,cholera et.al. The recent issues with COVID demonstrate a great need for honesty and accountability in the public health infrastructure, but total elimination of this function would be a grave error.

My opinion is that the mixture of politics and uncertainty associated with the pandemic allowed those with a lust for power and control to exploit confusion and panic of a rapidly spreading disease. Politicians and authorities were loathe to confess uncertainty/ignorance of effective responses to a novel virus, and reverted to base instincts. As my brother always says, when you mix politics with healthcare, you get politics.

So do not throw out 100+ years of success in a zeal to reform/ avenge recent mistakes. Most public health professionals and physicians/providers were scrambling to find solutions to immediate problems, and grasping for acceptable treatments. The vast majority did not profit personally or financially by following “expert” advice.

Now is the time for review and reflection on what actions were helpful, and which were ineffective. The tragedy would certainly be worse if no lessons can be learned.

Your assumption is that people left to there own devices would simply flounder and die without some government alphabet agency in charge. This is insane.

Expand full comment

You might want to rethink some of what you have said here. Smallpox was already on the decline *before* the advent of the smallpox vaccine. The principle of herd immunity was observed and asserted *before* any vaccines existed. There is more and more evidence emerging (many have done the research) to show that vaccines haven't necessarily benefited us at all, and they haven't been the drivers of eradicating disease.

Government has no business being involved in anyone's health decisions. And from a constitutional perspective, they have no authority to be.

While it could easily be argued that sanitation is an issue for State governments, it certainly does not belong to the federal government whose primary purposes are supposed to be foreign relations and trade, protecting our borders, and ensuring fair trade practices between the states. There is little more with which the Constitution tasks the federal government (but most people are mostly ignorant of the actual content of the Constitution and the extent to which it grants the federal government power).

I do not agree that we've had "100+ years of success", so we are coming from different perspectives. As to Covid, it wasn't simply an inability to admit ignorance - it was a desire to exert dominance. I wrote about it early on, as even Fauci had co-authored a public journal paper stating that it would be like a bad flu season. This was reformatted from a Facebook post I had made in March 2020 regarding Covid: https://open.substack.com/pub/curetsky/p/bringing-some-sanity-to-the-covid?r=xb9l8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Even the shots have no scientific backing, but that did not stop the "public health" officials from pushing that narrative and shutting down others. I wrote at length about the problems with the shots here: https://open.substack.com/pub/curetsky/p/why-i-always-believed-the-covid-shots?r=xb9l8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web because from a strictly immunologic perspective, they *can't* work, and they stand only to cause harm. Yet they're still being pushed and doctors still refuse to consider the harm they have caused and continue to cause.

Expand full comment

Redfield was more right than Trump. And very clever in how he spoke about masks and vaccines. He used the slippery language of an experienced bureaucrat someone with training in linguistics could spot at the time. I'll deconstruct this:

https://reason.com/2020/09/17/suggesting-that-face-masks-are-more-effective-than-vaccines-the-cdcs-director-exemplifies-the-propaganda-that-discourages-people-from-wearing-them/

"In congressional testimony yesterday, Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), emphasized the value of face masks in preventing transmission of COVID-19. "These face masks are the most important, powerful public health tool we have," he told a Senate subcommittee while holding a cloth mask. "I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine."

As The New York Times notes, Donald Trump is notably less enthusiastic about face masks. Redfield "made a mistake" when he said masks provide better protection than vaccines, the president told reporters yesterday. While masks "may be effective," he said, a "vaccine is much more effective.""

FF Deconstruct

1 - "The most important, powerful public health tool we have."

The ONLY efficacy of masks was/is based in *Behavioral* Science (BS). Nonpharmaceutical Interventions (NPI). Pseudoscience, not medical science. The science of symbols and language that provoke a change in perceptions to effect a desired change in behavior. Epidemiologists employ BS to make the public fearful of public interactions in order to "slow the spread" they believe they must do to protect public health when there's an outbreak of disease. It's why the masks most everyone wore were called "placebo masks" in the medical community...right up until March, 2020.

Placebo = psychological fake out:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/placebo

Those promoting mask NPI leaned into that definition of placebo that includes "soothing" a fearful public. When the reality was the NPI worked by "amplifying fear" (a BS term) because we were all diagnosed as suffering from "optimism bias" (another BS term) and weren't taking the declared health risk seriously enough for health officials. They wanted us scared of one another. Just like masked hijackers and bank robbers frighten us:

Of snakes and faces: An evolutionary perspective on the psychology of fear

Scandanavian Journal of Psychology, November 19, 2009 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1467-9450.2009.00784.x

So when Redfield said those words about masking it was a tacit admission that the only tool they had was fear! The most powerful tool a government possesses. And there's a fine line between a tool and a weapon, only the intentions of the hands they're in distinguishes which.

2 - "this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine."

Another tacit admission that the COVID vaccine wasn't going to work. He knew what it was in development, that it was unproven, ineffective and had safety issues. And that you can't vaccinate your way out of a pandemic. He knew the same medical science that vaccine researchers knew about that...pre-2020.

Redfield's clever linguistics revealed that the only thing government could do with any potential at all during a pandemic was scare people apart. Not that it even was desirable or that terrorizing entire populations was without high cost. But a tacit admission that, in fact, when it comes to public health there's only fear that governments can peddle to mitigate flu-like disease. Isolate and avoid the world if you're sick or fear getting sick.

Just like everyone knew and did for every single flu season in history before 2020. Aside from the Spanish Flu, the results of that pandemic's restrictions were similarly disastrous. Written about by medical leaders at the time in their Lessons of the Pandemic. In which they said the best thing we can do is eat right, get fresh air, exercise, sunlight. And stay in good cheer, be a good neighbor and go to church for spiritual strength in hard times. Literally in the Lessons:

https://sci-hub.se/https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.49.1274.501

Lessons that we did not learn from history. Because there's too much money and power that the Big corporate profiteers and Big government social engineers benefit from by amplifying fear. Trump was horribly wrong about vaccines, and masks for that matter - neither are effective. As big a cocksucker Redfield is, if you drilled down inside his words he was more accurate than Trump.

Redfield used his bureaucratic fluency and mastery in linguistics to convey truth inside a tangled web of deception. Knowing the environment he was inside, Big corporation and Big government opportunists. Which takes someone highly trained in linguistics to decipher. Bureaucrat-ese.

I can't help but think that the only reason Redfield would make an admission like this is because he knows he's legally bulletproof. He's on the list of people who should be tried in a tribunal. So what's he done to guarantee his immunity so that he could openly admit this crime against humanity?

This is not trivial. This is like Hitler or Stalin saying "oh, sorry, I got it wrong" and expecting to walk away. I'm glad the narrative is breaking, but the damage is so big and the evidence against these people is so strong, they are at the point where they can only admit some degree of culpability and hope for forgiveness, or keep trying to gaslight and hope to make more $$$$$$ and run out the clock on being held accountable.

The danger is that the people responsible will lock arms, walk away, and do it again because their power in solidarity was great enough that they could just deny it all and uphold their narrative. If they are all trapped together looking down the barrel of criminal charges, that's what they are likely to do and get away with it.

I enjoy being an ER doc. Thankfully, I went into the thing at a later age than most and already had a good BS meter. The BS meter helped me avoid things like the narcotic BS and prompted me to dig pages deep one lonely night while taking care of vaccinated covid patients to find gato who put words to my thoughts and gave me tools to resist. Everyone is correct to distrust the medical corporate complex and physicians. It is sad for me to say as I am in that world. Sometimes now I get a big knot in my gut going into work as I know I need to keep everyone safe that I see but also push away the administrative harm that tries to bring me down!

I'm approaching 70 years-old, and mostly fought against my own tendency to believe conspiracy theories...until COVID. You can only deny the evidence of your senses for so long. For most of my life I only saw a doctor when injured or sick. That changed dramatically when I went on Medicare, with an HMO plan. COVID made me start doing this odd, quasi-suspicious dance with my doctor. He regularly offers me statins and all manner of vaccines, most of which I politely decline.

I regularly buy Ivermectin from abroad, use "unapproved" substances like DMSO, and keep that information to myself. About 10 years ago I had an MD who was a blunt, somewhat intolerant and no nonsense guy. In declining some treatment or other I said to him: "If I follow your advice am I not going to die?" He gave me a little smile, we shared a knowing look and he said: "You got me there!" He has since retired, and I miss him. We "got" each other. I had changed my diet and nutrition over the course of our relationship, lost almost 100 lbs., and significantly lowered my LDL cholesterol (using an "unapproved" ketogenic diet) and he told me he wished he had more patients like me. If he only knew.... Now, in this surreal environment, I don't know what I can or can't say to my doctor.

One thing that is mentioned is running it along the sides of the neck catching the carotid arteries. I wonder if Mercola talks about this? Also just entering it in sites like pub med often get good info. or other sites also come up in the search.

The DMSO Handbook for Doctors by Archie H. Scott (on Amazon) is a good place to start, too.
