I will predict change. No prediction as to whether it will be change for the better. Well, I predict it will be good for the share price in the near term (1-2 years), and good for Musk's net worth (again 1-2 years).

I predict a "house cleaning" as top execs are shown the door and handed mega-buck payouts on their way out. OK, that's cheating...already happening. If you want to prognosticate accurately, this is how it's done kids ;-).

I expect new revenue models to be introduced. Most of Musk's criticism of the old Twits was that they were leaving money on the table. His comments about Trump got the press, but mostly he sees massive profit opportunities being missed. Expect a tiered membership model. Expect new analytics and new packaging of user provided information into analytics products.

Part of this will be the "come one, come all" appeal to both wings and the middle. Real inclusiveness (not excluding anyone) is a good business model - more users equals more revenue opps. Will it be the free for all anything goes wild west? Nope.

Now I'm less confident in predicting the reaction of the true believers in The Party. No know, the folks who accept "inclusive" means excluding those "right wing extremists" while including advocates of genocide. Who accept that 'curated and controlled free speech" is a real thing. They are being told (commanded really) that Twitter is controlled by a "reckless ideologue" and they should fear "anyone can say anything" will they drop out? Some have already.

But will the bulk of the enlightened elite follow through with the promise to "boycott" Twitter? It may be a bit like porn or a train wreck - they know they're not supposed to look but can't help themselves. I think Musk is betting on that ;-)

Many colleges and universities are deferring the the CDC and requiring students to adhere to the CDC recommendations. My husband and I have informed our alma mater that they will never get another dime. I hope the students who were coerced and/or harmed sue them into oblivion.

I wrote to the school when I first heard about it. Crickets. When they asked for money, I told them they would never get another dime and why. Then, they reached out to alumni out to send a welcome note to incoming freshmen. I told them the school should have never mandated C19 jabs as a condition of attendance. Pretty sure they didn't include my message. ;)

Yay! Same here. My son graduates in two months, and if I see any administrators at the ceremony, they will get an earful. (Real) science, logic, and well-reasoned communication did nothing to stop the testing or mandates.

My son is in graduate school at Rice in Houston. They did not require the jabs; but, according to my son, they worded their information about the C19 jabs and the flu jabs to make students think they were mandatory. This semester they dropped everything, and life has returned to normal.

Yep. My friend had to turn down a job at Lewis & Clark College (in Portland) because they are STILL demanding that unvaccinated people wear masks.

I passed up a couple of work-related events this week because my office still requires testing for people who have not had the jab within 24 hours of entering the office or attending a company-sponsored event, even if that event is held in a public place. I told my director it was lunacy to ask me to provide a negative test when they'd be around other people in a restaurant, including the waitstaff who would be touching all of their plates, glasses, etc., especially since they wouldn't be asking anyone who worked there, or even the people at the next table, for their shot status or test status.

He said they wouldn't actually require any evidence that I had a negative test, but I said I wouldn't lie and say I tested negative when I won't even take a test, and I'm not going to violate the company's policy to attend if I haven't tested.

It was just a perfect picture of how psychotic all of this has made people.

My husband and I were asked to provide proof of vax when we went to watch our daughter play volleyball at a different school. We sort of hemmed and hawwed and said we didn’t have it (“not even a pic on your phone?” Um….no.) The guy reluctantly let us pass and said he was assuming we wouldn’t try to enter their school unvaxxed. It was unbelievable. Oh, and our unvaxxed daughter played in the volleyball game and no one said anything to her.

It was a real turning point in the hospitals when we got sent out the email: 'from now on everyone, regardless of vaccination status, will need to test every 48 hours.' (This was not accompanied by, PS, sorry we were wrong...)

For the year leading up to that, a majority of less-critical-thinkers had been assuming that being vaccinated meant they could neither contract nor transmit the sickness (which demonstrates fundamental ignorance about the purpose of a vaccine: a pathogen must enter the body in order for your antibodies to start the shortened process of eliminating it....).

Expand full comment

But unlike this new witches brew, an older vaccine WOULD likely have provided a complete dead end for a virus.

So they lied about it's efficacy, lied about it blocking transmission, lied about protection from illness, lied about preventing serious illness, lied about it being safe and lied about it being a vaccine in the first place.

The pertussis vax hasn't worked for years! The mumps outbreaks in recent history are among fully vaxxed. Ie a naval ship.the mumps vax had whistle blower lawsuit claiming efficacy data was spiked using rabbit blood to reach the threshold req by FDA for licensing thus creating an MMR monopoly, and that's all I'll mention just now.

We need to test you even if you are vaccinated because the vaccine works.

This new ethics bothers me. It's been in the making for years. Don't ask, don't tell - just go along and don't worry no one will check. "just say you're negative no one will check". "just sign the user agreement, no one reads it or enforces it". "Just sign the employment agreement, no one cares". "sure it's the written policy, but we all know it's just to make the lawyers happy". "sure the law says you can't be here, but we promise we won't deport you if you just register with DHS". "Sure federal law lists Marijuana as a class 1 controlled substance, but why change that, we just agreed not to enforce it"

When you draw attention to a policy, or contract clause, or government mandate that makes no sense, YOU are the trouble maker. Tell the lawyers you'll need a day or two to read the contract and "oh, he's just like that" (yes, Jr., I am like that).

Don't ask, don't tell. Trust in the benevolence of authority. Truth is what fulfils the current purpose. Biology is a choice.

So is 2020-22 really a surprise?

If you're talking about the required jabs, I don't know if "forced" is the right word.

Is there a difference between “forced” and “coerced”? I believe there is. Is either ever ethically acceptable? Subtlety and nuance are important, and have been so lost.

Expand full comment

Perhaps it's a matter of degree, though coercion is force at some level. I'd say coercion covers everything up to "you have literally no choice at all."

We can quibble if "Do this or you lose everything" is simply coercion or complete force, but I think we can all agree it's way over the line no matter what word you use to describe it.

So what, you have a problem with the messaging that conformance to political appearance is more important than making sense?

Just because vaccinating the population most likely to have a robust immune system and unlikely to have an adverse outcome from the virus with a vaccine proven not to stop the vaccinated from contracting, or spreading the virus, makes no logical sense at all, they should "opt out" of the political mandates?

If we let these institutions of education get away with that, it might creep into the curriculum and they might produce students who can think! All the progress of the last 3 decades turning out compliant, controllable minions might be compromised!

Resist logic! Conform! Submit!

I had to pick up a prescription at my local Walgreens a couple days ago. Two high school kids were there for their mouse boosters. As I approached the counter, one of the pharmacy techs asked if I was there for "my booster". I blurted out, "No. Oh, God. No." One of the kids heard me and physically reacted to it, but it was clear he was going ahead with it. The tech didn't know how to respond.

It was sooo hard to walk out of there. I wanted to talk to the kids (who were without parents), but I was surrounded by pharmacy techs.

It's time to flood the zone with information. Grocery store message boards will be a good start.

Quick story, that you may have already heard. Probably 18 months back, I was in line at airport security. It was a busy airport, so we were in one of those Disneyland-like winding setups. As the line moved, I was directly next to a mother and daughter, traveling together. As the people in front of her moved up, the woman moved as well. Her daughter, who could not have been even a teenager, jerked her mom's hand and pulled her back, saying, "you're getting too close!" This little girl had been indoctrinated with the dumbassery of 6-feet separation and/or social distancing. You were at a Walgreens and saw teenagers, damned-near immune from covid already, getting boosters. More dumbassery on parade. #WeAreSoScrewed

Expand full comment

As others have said, kids are actually the most obvious target of indoctrination. Cannot recall if I said on this substack or another one, but compliance is bred into the American public starting very young. Many, if not most, if not all, of the policies and procedures of public schooling breed a sort of "naked compliance" or acceptance of what the Bad Cat used to refer to as "empty credentialism" back before the Blue Bird banned him. We are taught to accept the edicts and direction of people who we have not personally verified, in any way. Now, we could probably argue if that is a good thing or a bad one, in the grand scheme. For this case--the covid dumpster fire--it has proven to be a really bad idea.

Yes, I have been Wiltster on Twitter for as long as I have had a Twitter profile. Yes, I wrote probably 75+ articles for LRC back in the day, dating back at least to the early 2000's.

Teenagers in my town thought it was very trendy, cool and of course, "The right thing to do!" to get an experimental injection "Pfizer or Moderna?" was the question asked like they were choosing between brands of jeans.

I love everything about this comment.

Expand full comment

There's another point to be made here. The CDC itself said that antibody titers should *not* be used as a measure of immunity:

"Antibody testing is not currently recommended to assess for immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following COVID-19 vaccination, to assess the need for vaccination in an unvaccinated person, or to determine the need to quarantine after a close contact with someone who has COVID-19."

- https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/lab/resources/antibody-tests-guidelines.html

Why is it now ok to base the concept of shot and booster effectiveness on elevation of antibodies? If elevated antibodies in a HUMAN do not constitute immunity, how do elevated antibodies in a MOUSE qualify as effectiveness of an injection?

Everything the CDC says is self-contradictory. They really need to be dissolved.

And yet that seems to be the standard endpoint for a lot of clinical trial studies. Because it's easier and faster.

Seems obvious to me that if hospitals, in NY or other states, are full of folks with covid this winter, they will be previously vaccinated patients. However, let me state the talking point for you, now. They will say, "if only these people were up-to-date with the latest booster, this might have been avoided." There is no way, NONE, that they will say, "this is the direct result of OAS or antigenic imprinting due to leaky vaccines." #LaterRinseRepeat #HopeToBeWrong

Another part of what they say may actually be relevant to the drug approval process (though these days the rules seem to be long gone).

I agree Paula. It is a parents job to be vigilant. The information was out there VERY early about these injections, and it was easy to see that children were not impacted.

well, over the past 2 decades with border crossing 3-4x/year (sometimes more frequently), i assure you that they do track habits, if not vehicles outright. every single time we crossed in a different vehicle, we would get pulled over (both directions) and searched (Detroit/Windsor usually; i don't recall if Port Huron/Sarnia did it). the best was the time when we had the bug out bags with the water filter. when we got back in the car and drove off, we realized that the one bug out bag they searched was the one with the water filter - with all its tubes and the plunger, husband pointed out that it could have been mistaken for drug paraphernalia. rural BC is a whole different story.

I hear so many people say "Trust the science. Follow the science. Believe in the science." and I always ask them "Where are the words "Trust, Follow & Believe in the scientific method?".

You do NOT follow, trust or believe science. You USE the scientific method. The words in the scientific method are "Falsifiability & Repeatability".

Expand full comment

It's unfortunate that the average person would misinterpret "falsifiability".

Expand full comment

You have to spell it out for people. Falsifiability & Repeatability means predictions, predictions and more predictions but that gate swings both ways! If this happens then I'm correct and if this happens then I'm wrong. You have to define BOTH conditions.

What would it take for you to say "My bad. I was wrong"? That is as big a part of the scientific method as predictions that come true.

Ooh. That's a good one!

As far as I'm concerned the continued absence of an unvaccinated group makes this an uncontrolled study.

You are going to get results that, very conveniently, can never be accurately compared to an unvaxxed immune system, meaning you can make all the positive interpretations you want essentially unchallenged.

Expand full comment

It's too dangerous to show a group of unvaccinated people together, looking ever-so-normal in their human variety.

Expand full comment

If we're playing by any rules of the scientific method at all, excluding them invalidates literally all statements comparing them to the efficacy of a drug.

If we want to compare different degrees of poisoned human immune systems to each other, fine. But even without lying or massaging data, by doing this you are eliminating any argument that your drug is "better than doing nothing, " which was the excuse for inflicting all of this on us.

I wish you could send this to Bailiwick to send on to that whistleblower case...because there were no control groups from the get go so none of this can e considered scientific evidence without a control group.

They were never playing by any rules of the scientific method.

And again, I put a lot of this down to the enthusiasms of the overly-wealthy Asperger's set.

Take for example the savior-of-the-moment, Musk. If he brings back free speech online, it'll be great. Paying for it out of the profits from EVs. Very very bad.

Bill Gates is worse, of course. But they're all on a continuum of monomanias they can afford to indulge--on all of us.

Precisely.

They can talk about boosters all they want, but taking a shot that doesn't work, then following up with the same shot to boost it, and a third, and a fourth, is like multiplying by 0. They need to drop the shots already and get on with normal treatments that show far more promise.

Recent data show the spike protein delivery systems multiple by a negative number.

They might as well tell you the boosters keep you safe from falling anvils and alien attacks.

Great post Gato!...we all know what's going on. Thanks for helping us get there.

soon there will be a jab against car accidents, you heard about that too right?

Expand full comment

The current jabs work against car accidents. People jabbed die from car accidents less often than unjabbed. Since the lifespan of the jabbed is less than the lifespan of the unjabbed, and their health outcomes are far worse, they are less likely to die of car accidents, skydiving accidents, surfing accidents, work related accidents. Etc. Tough to get into a car accident when you’re already dead. Jabbed dead though do vote in greater numbers than unjabbed though.

LOL that sounds about right. There are lots of people dying while drinving lately too. A very strange coincidence with being jabbed ! This living being might go vote. But maybe not. God knows how many corpses are in front of me.

It really bothers me that I understood that!

as it should ! it should bother everyone, especially the zombies...

The scientific method is “please those who you need to please to ensure grant funding”.

The woman who was shampping my hair at the salon asked me if I was going to get the new booster. I said ah HELL no! Why she asked? Because of what I do for a living and what I see and know about the poisonous vaccines. I was wearing my work clothes (scrubs). Ears perked up, conversation ensued and I do believe some are now rethinking whether or not they should get the shot. People want the information, and we all need to start speaking up.

My ex-wife is an RN who used to work for a hospital's work health and safety arm, selling health care services etc. to businesses. Flu shots were a big annual seller for her. The first year we were married we were talking about her flu shot biz for the coming season. I asked her who gave her her flu shot each year. "Oh, I don't get jabbed with that stuff" was her response...

"Don't get high on your own supply" axiom works just as well with "legal" IV drugs.

the people that questioned the narrative or straight contradicted it, did better science than the scientists that thoughtless followed whatever was put before them. Thankfully a few real scientists still exist. I am still very wary about everything that starts with "the experts say"

Thank you again for an excellent write-up.

I will be very curious to see how the White House responds this winter as less and less people are running out for their omicron boosters now that they know the shots simply don't work. Will we again see the "carrot and the stick" approach (after the midterms, of course)? Incentives leading to mandates? I guess a lot depends on who takes the House and Senate as well as the governorships.

One thing remains the same. They do seem hell bent on getting everyone in the world "updated" yearly (at the very least) with these mRNA vaccines. I do wonder if this push goes beyond the financial and perhaps leads down a much more sinister road.

I just created a post addressing the shift in language from getting a booster to being "up-to-date" like a Microsoft reboot and the odd operating system breakdowns we've been seeing in celebrities, politicians etc...in public https://mycovidbubble.substack.com/p/why-are-people-suddenly-short-circuiting

Expand full comment

Future White House talking point:

"This virus is super dangerous, and we believe that it was created in a lab in China. If you don't get your booster, you'll die and kill everyone around you. Get boosted or else."

Also... if you go into the wayback machine, you will find that moderna calls their mRNA injections "operating systems." Really.

I am just a rookie cat owner, but I feel like we may have been lulled into feeling that way, as they conduct their experiments on us.

Expand full comment

I’ve been a cat-experiment subject of cats for most of my life. Most of the tests seem to be simply manipulative in nature and never involve injections of dubious spike proteins. Even a cat scratch is safer than a jab.

Agree. Our cat is the best.

But she certainly doesn't respect the "alpha" male in the house....the dogs do!

Do you find the generalized contempt for "cat ladies" to be an unfortunate over-generalization turned into an all-tarring slur?

"Cat ladies" are simply highly visible examples of perfectly trained servants. Cats seldom require obsequious servitude. Most are satisfied with prompt response to their slightest whims.

I value cats for their therapeutic value. I hope you're doing well on this National Cat Day (in the US).
