“it turns out that the ability to keep one’s head when all others around them are losing theirs is basically a superpower.” Now I know I have superpower. I saw the ridiculousness from the beginning and was aghast at how people became sheep. Not vaxed and never plan to. Now that includes the annual flu shot. No more.

With the current incentives, an expert is someone who may or may not be competent in his field, but is *guaranteed* to be good at navigating institutional politics and culture. That often means having no qualms about lying to further a goal.

Entrenchment, not merit, is currently the defining feature of Experts.

What they are doing is totally shocking. What is just as shocking is that 50% of the public thinks nothing crazy is going on!

This isn't so much about allowing OAS into the debate, but much more about OAS being a marketing tool for the "updated" shots.

I don't know my Milgram from my Asch, or my Asch from left base. But I am smart enough not to trust the government. Don't need to go to college to learn that!

Going on three years now and the entire time has been like playing poker at a table full of drunks.

Another great essay, El Gato.

It was ADE/OAS that informed my decision NOT to take the jabs back in the fall of 2020, and it wasn't a particularly difficult decision to make. This was well before adverse events began to be reported, which reinforced that decision, but didn't actually inform it.

I distinctly remember how it went too. Someone else asked the question: "What about ADE?" The response: "Oh ADE won't be a factor because we're only encoding for the spike protein!'. "Or really?" I thought..."and you know that will work, HOW EXACTLY??"

Excellent article. Yes, the OAS and the flu have been well studied since the 60's. Everyone with ANY education in immunology knows that influenza vaccines only work if a.) you have the right one and b.) the recipient has never experienced natural infection, nor prior immunization. And yet, for countless years, Public Health has pushed flu vaccines as if none of them had been to medical school. No one should be surprised that they are still doing it. In fact, the best thing that could come out of this Covid hysteria is getting rid of Public Health and decrying routine vaccination with all but those vaccines that actually have a positive risk benefit analysis.

while we are at it can someone explain why they have to cull millions of birds every time there's a bird flu outbreak? if it was so bad wouldnt we find millions of dead pigeons and sparrows at the base of every tree?

What about those of us without a scientific background who did our research and concluded for many reasons that the mRNA injections were suspect as to efficacy and safety? We just got lucky? We were right for the wrong reasons? Or maybe we learned enough such that any rational informed person could arrive at the correction conclusion. If I'm handing out accolades, they go to the smart readers without PhDs in life sciences.

I’m sure you’re already familiar with this 2009 WHO report on “Pandemic Influenza Preparedness & Response” (https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/44123/9789241547680_eng.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y), but for those who aren’t, it advises against every public health policy they pushed for COVID, as I note in this question from “A Mostly Peaceful Depopulation” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-mostly-peaceful-depopulation):

• “Why are they instituting policies the WHO previously warned against—from lockdowns to masking to disinfection to border closures—because they are known to cause mass-scale harm, poverty, and even death?”

Also, I forgot to alert people to the Easter egg I included for bad cattitude readers in “50 Reasons to Give Your Child the COVID Shot” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/50-reasons-to-give-your-child-the):

• “38) You trust the government more than the million or so scientists, physicians, researchers, whistleblowers, data analysts, statisticians, cats, and other knowledgeable individuals risking their careers, grant monies, reputations, and quiet lives to expose corruption, harm, and the lethal consequences of the experimental injections.”

The links are missing, but I’m sure you can guess which one links to el gato 😸

It is very hard to understand. I never got vaccinated. I brought up that they never had a successful vaccine for the flu or a coronavirus. The issue seemed to be that they evolve or mutate too fast. It was never described how the new mRNA vaccine would fix this. Everything they described about how it worked seemed to be clear that it wouldn't. Part of the response to my objections from the pro vaccine crowd seemed to be if the unvax isolated or were quarantined and they could vaccinate everybody on the planet in a short amount of time the virus couldn't mutate in time and would be completely eliminated. This is of course ridiculous. There are nearly 7 billion people in the world.
