Varma went to Harvard and has pronouns on his LinkedIn. He also has the crazy sanpaku eyes. Anyone with a functioning amygdala can quickly tell he’s a sociopath, so naturally New Yorkers followed him like sheep.

In my never humble opinion, a large portion of upper level government employees are sociopaths, and many suffer from varying degrees of mental illness. The last few years have made it very clear that those in healthcare are not even close to immune. I have noted before that the person who graduated dead last in their medical school class, one point above failing is called "Doctor." Caveat emptor. YOU do have a choice.

Did you hear recently about the doctor who accidentally removed someone's liver instead of the spleen? That guy graduated med school!

They're really not teaching them anything anymore, they are slowly chipping away at education and teaching them how to 1) decide on the right medicines to address all problems 2) be extremely angry in response to any rational questions. i.e. they've become more arrogant than ever, even hostile.

Yes, the position attracts them, like the catholic church and cub scouts attracts pedophiles. The upper echelons of political office are now part of a sex cult club.

A physician friend of my grandmother’s claimed at least three medical school classmates were certifiable …morons, is the term he used, if I recall correctly. He was in his 80s when I was in my 20s half a century ago.

Seems like this all started happening right after the "balanced budget act" during the Clinton years.

It's like doctors and other healthcare professionals turned into lawyers overnight.

In other words, billable units became the focus...not individual care.

I guess that's why the first thing you do is fill out insurance paperwork. Seems like that's all they need to know now.

I think it is just misunderstood. Public health is not a science. It is a profession for bureaucratic propaganda. If more people understood that, we might give public health the respect it deserves.

Expand full comment

Public health improvements in the 19th and early 20th century were profound: indoor plumbing, water from a private tap instead of a communal bucket. For these we have engineers to thank as well as those giants of microbiology who identified actual modes of disease transmission and effective prevention. These range from hygiene to immunization. In the latter part of the 20th century and this one, thinking in public health has become polluted with ideas from sociology and worse, and it has become a cascade of diminishing returns.

Expand full comment

I would remove immunization from that list.

Expand full comment

Agreed. The damage from vaccination may ultimately have canceled out any good it might have done.

I've been reading the Substack by A Midwestern Doctor, who has gone back into historical documents regarding smallpox vaccination (variolation, inoculation, whatever) that are buried in print archives. The deaths, injuries, and "breakthrough" infections were obvious even then, except to the willfully-blind doctors who were making money off vaccines and to the fearful government officials.

And never forget how Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis was treated in the mid 1800s. I thought about that during Covidtime when the resistance doctors were warning us.

Expand full comment

They worked themselves out of a job, and went looking for new tasks. They turned individual health into some kind of public interest. Like attacking smoking, for example. They framed it in terms of statistics, then pretended that an aggregate of individual health outcomes was "public health." It's not. Then they get an actual virus that spreads from person to person and jumped at the chance to be relevant and important. They couldn't do that by accurately communicating the threat of covid, because then nobody would be scared enough to pay them any attention.

My health has nothing to do with the public. I am still waiting for definitive proof that my health affects the public and theirs mine. It's all guesswork to promote deadly drugs.

Expand full comment

"Public health" deserves zero respect because there is no such thing. There is only individual health.

OTOH, if what you mean by "public health" are the improvements in the living conditions, especially in large, crowded cities, then yes. Better living conditions bring better health outcomes for individuals.

Indoor plumbing has to be among the greatest inventions (not of public health) for the improvement of life and health in urban living conditions. We have inventors to thank for that, not the likes of Walensky, Varma, et.al in "public health." They're grifters...all of them.

One of the few professions that outwardly and nakedly - heh - rewards outright sociopathy. The ones in Canada were, in some ways, even worse as they wrapped up their powerlust with smug, self-righteous appeals to the "science" and "we're all in this together" without the hedonism of this turd. They were mostly dim, career bureaucrat females steeped in the arts of political grandstanding with no conception of the damage their decisions caused.

I believed for a long time the phrase "public health" was National Socialist in origin, but when I went to my favorite Chatbot arena at https://koala.lmsys.org/ and posed this question--What is the origin of the phrase "public health"?--the responses from the two competing LLMs indicated the phrase/concept can be traced back to the Egyptians. Somehow, I find it hard to place proper sanitation (elegantly designed shitters a la the Romans) on the same continuum as vaxx-to-you-drop (never safe, hardly ever effective, but ALWAYS lucrative), but if competing AIs say it, it must be true (or a hallucination, or completely made up from whole cloth), or, more likely, a carefully fluffed history of self-congratulation that creates millions of jobs and whole highways of career paths.

I think I'll continue to think the goosesteppers coined the term. Makes it easier that way....

Okay - hoping for a follow up article about the fallout from this. One never hears about what happens once these people are exposed. It's very unsatisfying. For instance, who has yet been held accountable for what they did to us during covid. There are supposedly lots of lawsuits happening but where are the results? You never hear about that. I agree we need more of this type of investigative journalism. We are where we are in part because people stopped being good journalists and instead became corporate shills for their bosses and printed whatever they were told to. Bring back investigative journalism!!!!! Thanks for the giggles... I especially loved the "what's wrong with conservatives" bit!

I don’t know if this is the place for this, but I can’t shake the image of Rachael Maddow doing a monologue a few days ago, (she was introducing Hillary). I never watch her or MSNBC - Taibbi showed this 5 minute clip of her, and it was simply astonishing the way she breathlessly lied, twisted the truth, mislead, misdirected. It was stunning, she is so good at bending reality. I know her audience isn’t that big, thank God, but afterwards, I felt like I had witnessed some kind of cult leader. A sane society would keep her in an institution, she is feeding an addiction, and making sick people sicker. OK, I’ve said it.

I can forgive a repentant person who genuinely thought they were doing the right thing by insisting on masks and clot shots to keep other people safe.

The problem for me with forgiving the strident mask pushers, who later became 'shun-the-antivaxxers' people, is that they have a galling lack of remorse. It's easy to find montages of public figures disparaging the unmasked as grandma-killers. And we all have people who were like that in our personal lives as well. Set aside apologies, which we obviously aren't getting. Has anyone even acknowledged that they were mistaken? Chris Cuomo, of all people, is the only one I can think of.

Until those people admit that "hey, what I did to you and to others was wrong," they will never regain my esteem.

TRANSCRIPT

TEXT ON SCREEN: RULES FOR THEE NOT FOR ME

MALE TV REPORTER: Tonight while Governor [of California] Newsom is telling all of us to have Thanksgiving dinner outside, he's facing some new fallout for that fancy birthday dinner party he went to at the French Laundry.[1]

[cut]

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: It was in Napa which is the orange status, relatively loose compared to some other counties. Ah, it was to be an outdoor ah, ah, restaurant.

[cut]

ANOTHER MALE TV REPORTER: Raising some new questions about the governor's claims that the dinner was outdoors, as he has repeatedly claimed.

[cut]

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM: And I let my guard down, and I apologize for it.

[cut]

FEMALE TV REPORTER: Mayor [of Chicago] Lori Lightfoot has been adamant that people stay home and socially distance for weeks.

[cut]

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT: I can't make this any clearer. You absolutely must stay at home. We will cite you. And of we need to we will arrest you and we will take you to jail. Period. There should be nothing unambiguous about that.

[cut]

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I guess you would all imagine that a lot of people were surprised when she made a trip to the hair salon.

[cut]

MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT: I take my personal hygiene very seriously. As I said, I felt like I needed to um, have a haircut.

[cut]

VOICE OF FEMALE TV REPORTER: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi under fire tonight after security footage showed her inside a San Francisco hair salon that's closed to the general public.

[cut]

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI: It was a set up. So I take responsibility for falling for a setup. And that's all I'm going to say on that. [cut] I think that they owe, that the salon owes me an apology.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Almost immediately after telling the rest of New York City to stay inside for example, Mayor Bill De Blasio loaded up his SUV with government bodyguards and headed for the gym across town in Brooklyn.

[cut]

MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO: I need exercise. And again, I have to stay healthy so I can make the decisions for the people of this city.

[cut]

VOICE OF FEMALE TV REPORTER: The leader is embroiled in controversy for attending a party at 10 Downing Street in May of 2020. At the time, the country was under a strict government-imposed lockdown.

[cut]

UK PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON: That I myself fell short when it came to observing the very rules which the government I lead had introduced to protect the public—

[cut]

CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU: Let's put into practice what it truly means to love our neighbors as ourselves by making sacrifices to protect their health. Let's stay home for them.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Not long after recording the video you just saw, Trudeau left the capital and traveled all the way to Quebec to visit his family at their lake house. Just like you'd want to do on Easter, if you were allowed to do that. But you're not allowed. So stop complaining.

[cut]

VOICE OF MALE TV REPORTER: Former president tweeted: "It might be Labor Day weekend, but let's all remember that we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and follow the experts. It'll save lives."

Former President can be seen in pictures hitting the dance floor without a mask or told that he danced all night and had a great time.

[cut]

MALE TV REPORTER: San Francisco mayor London Breed was defiant today when asked about video of her without a mask at a nightclub earlier this week.

[cut]

MAYOR LONDON BREED: I got up and started dancing because I was feeling the spirit. And I wasn't thinking about a mask. I was thinking about having a good time—

[cut]

MALE TV REPORTER: Mayor Steve Adler's apologizing tonight for traveling to Mexico with a group of family and friends last month despite urging Austinites to stay home.

[cut]

MALE TV REPORTER: As he issued this message on the night of November 9th.

MAYOR STEVE ADLER: And then we need to, you know, stay home if you can.

MALE TV REPORTER: He was doing it from a time share in Cabo San Lucas.

[cut]

MAYOR STEVE ADLER: Sorry I took that trip. Ah, it was a lapse in judgement.

[cut]

FEMALE TV REPORTER: Governor [of Michigan] Whitmer is facing some backlash after a picture surfaced of her dining at a restaurant with at least 12 other people at a table, a violation of the state Health Department's epidemic order.

[cut]

GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER: It's, you know, it was an honest mistake and I, I have apologized for it.

[cut]

ROD MELONI: Well, you know, the governor spent a lot of time asking Michiganers not to go on spring break, particularly in Florida. It took the governor's office a couple of months to confirm it, but she indeed flew from Lansing to West Palm Beach in a private jet on March 12th, spent the weekend with her father, and headed back to Lansing on March 15th.

[cut]

TUCKER CARLSON: Again and again they do the very things they punish us for doing. When they're caught, they acknowledge no shame. They are entirely lacking in self-awareness. They have no idea how absurd they are.

4:03
