Mass Non Compliance. That’s it. I never participated, never wore a mask, never got tested and remain jab free. Pray the next time around people will have the courage to not just go with the crowd.

CTV News here in Canada 🇨🇦 is running a story this morning stating vaxed people that come in contact with unvaxed are at HIGHER RISK OF INFECTION. So it seems they are once again ramping up the narrative and the pressure that these shots are YOUR DUTY TO SOCIETY. At the end of the article the author of the study states something along the linee of these being mathematical models and have no basis in actual real world activity. OUR DEAR LEADER does not want to relinquish control, and doles out funding to CTV NEWS. He who pays the piper calls the tune!

“this is not remotely true. it’s a full blown fabrication. and you should really, really hope it is, because if it isn’t, these people are outright psychopaths.”

News flash: these people are outright psychopaths. Those jobs *draw* psychopaths like sugar draws ants. Where else is an incompetent mediocrity going to gain that much unearned power - the power of life and death - over their neighbors? If you want to know what kind of people these really are - the kind of people you put over you, the kind of people you’ve handed the guns to and asked to “save” you, just go to a homeowners’ board meeting, or a school board meeting, or a town or city council meeting. Go several times, and watch and listen, and figure out what percentage of people sitting behind those desks with gavels and power really belong there. Figure out which ones have integrity. You’ll be utterly shocked.

The sad thing is that all the time there have been a few people who are REAL experts and have been telling the truth (Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Bhakdi, Alexander...) but they have been slandered as "misinformers"...

Maybe. But we are backsliding. I came back from my farm chores this morning to discover that the news, on several channels, was pushing some new study suggesting that the unvaccinated were more likely to spread Covid to the vaccinated and that we should be figuring out more public health rules to protect the vaccinated from these people. I live in Canada, and you cannot travel on planes, trains and interprovincial buses without a vaccine still. Ontario has extended the mask mandate. Now we are looking at protecting the vaccinated from the unvaccinated, even though the vast majority of unvaccinated have by now been infected and have better protection than the vaccinated. (Not me...I am either immune or have been living a very clean life, because I have not yet been ill...but then I don't test to see if I have been asymptomatically infected ever..but pretty much all the vaccinated and unvaccinated people in my family, with whom I interact regularly have all been sick) https://viralimmunologist.substack.com/p/fiction-disguised-as-science-to-promote?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo1NDkwNDU3NiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTI4MzY0MTAsIl8iOiJLcmpFZiIsImlhdCI6MTY1MTA1NDkzOSwiZXhwIjoxNjUxMDU4NTM5LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNTkyMjE0Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.FFYaMhiL0WzHNh8vcZ_38zqCRQx2k3mp7j7nBXliI2I&s=r

I feel like I read (or write) this article every single day, but it's THAT IMPORTANT to kick people in the ass and make them see what the 'experts' have done over the last two+ years. We need to kick all these experts to the curb, then bulldoze the curb.

Though the vaccine mandates were the most egregious example, nearly all covid rules were made via executive fiat and use of emergency powers. Governors and mayors found a lackey in a lab coat to stand behind so they could pass the buck and be held blameless for the chaos that followed. “Just following guidelines” became the borg-like ‘get out of jail free’ chant of government officials. But nobody voted for Anthony Fauci or anybody working under him. We have no mechanism to hold these bureaucrats responsible - and holding officials responsible is the foundation of the Republic.

And it’s no surprise these unelected bureaucrats declare that unelected bureaucrats should have unlimited power. These bureaucrats also say people who disagree are really attacking science, and should be banned from public discourse due to their ‘dangerous misinformation’.

But there’s never been any evidence that airplanes and other public transportation systems were a major transmission vector. Nearly the entire country is totally done with covid restrictions, and the idea that a super small minority of travelers could somehow kickstart another wave by removing their masks is insane. Yet Fauci just casually asserts it, knowing CNN’s Washington Generals-level reporter will let the claim skip right on by.

I challenge the claim of incompetence. Judging form the result - billions of people submitting to irrational domination - we can conclude that this lot is extremely competent in what they are doing - leveraging fear to gain power. I think what you've uncovered shows that this was the ultimate objective.

The reaction to judge Mizelle's decision is truly interesting. Someone here posted a link and I read through it. It is clearly NOT a judgement on masks, nor even a decision that the CDC did not have the power to issue such a mandate. In fact she found that the CDC did not properly issue the mandate. The CDC did not follow the lawfully required process for promulgating a rule. She then ripped apart the arguments of the government lawyer's claims that they did not have to follow the legal process to make a rule. She DID say they can't just "make it so" without complying with the rule making process (legally the Administrative Procedures Act, the law which authorizes agencies to make rules with the force of law and the process).

The decision leaves the door open for a mask mandate promulgated through the proper process. That process requires public comment or 30 days, then some time for reply to comments. The entire process can be completed in 60 days. There are also means to make a rule effective immediately while the the comment process runs. Those big wigs and experts now decrying the decision are overlooking how simply the CDC and TSA could reinstate the mandate - and they know this - so it's clearly posturing for political purposes. Reich's comment is revealing: what we can expect is a "dire need" to cleanse the judicial branch of "unqualified" judges.

If Reich has read the decision, then his remark are clearly dishonest. The judge was clearly competent and qualified to apply the law: she gave 60+ pages of precedent and simply said federal agencies are required to follow the rules. If he's not read the decision then he is clearly unqualified to comment on the judge's qualifications. Either way, it was in deed either disingenuous and asinine.

Another thing: in slicing and dicing the "but it was an emergency" argument she noted that the CDC could have complied with the APA to issue a rule any time in the last 2 years, but hasn't. It was more than a year after the pandemic was declared before the mask mandate was issued, and a year since. The judge noted that this clearly showed no sense of urgency within the agencies involved.

And yet we're hearing that this unqualified, 35 year old Trump appointee is killing children and kicking puppies and all manner of other evils because she said "no, kids, you have to play by the rules too".

Noticed that you stuck to your lower case for jerome...you need to do the same for fauci!!! He doesn't deserve the capital letter! :-) So interesting how people's perceptions changed- have a crazy covid obsessed sister who wants to go on vacation so my other crazy covid sister was going to come watch mom, but supposedly now has covid (now? triple or quadruple shotted?) and sister who wants to get away says "oh well, the five day quarantine will be up before I leave"- so now in her head my 95 year old mom will be OK around an infected member of the family, but I was forbidden to stay at the house a year ago...because....yeah...SMH.

“I found that the men most in repute were all but the most foolish; and that some ‘inferior’ men were really wiser and better.”-Socrates

The problem with “trust the experts” is that the purported experts often have terrible incentives, lack adequate information and do not really have the expertise they pretend to have.

Anyone with a basic understanding of statistics and logic could have seen through Fauci & co. It was manifest early on that they were lying, incompetent or both.

Yes, the simplest explanation for the behavior of the "experts" is the correct one: it's about power, not science. Once I realized that, all of their behavior made perfect sense. There's no position they won't take as long as it meets their desired narrative.

it felt so good to read this. Exactly how many of us are feeling right now. A mix of contempt and determination -- we have had "enough" of this charade.

"and a bunch of amateurs with actual biological, modeling, and statistics skills ran rings around them. from the very beginning “team reality” shredded the imperial college scare models and the idiocy of lockdowns. it took what, 2 months for many of us to have conclusively disproved all of this?"

The silver lining has been a whole universe of amateurs and critical thinkers emerging like a galaxy around key constellations. Even those of us who struggle with the math and science can follow the debates about theories and concepts and have a framework rooted in reality.

"these agencies are incompetent to make public health policy. they cannot collect or handle data, they ignore well established guidelines, make up policy out of superstition and performance art, kowtow to politics, and wreck the world. they have done untold harm and absolutely no good. even when they did know what to do, they chose not to out of political featly or personal panic."

Why matters far less than everyone seeing these groups for the threat and disgrace they are.

Here is another "expert," now being given major traction by MSM on this "modelling" study. Note the conflicts stated. I hope one of you stats brainiacs takes this one on! (p.s. love the flying kitty).

These so called experts should never be trusted with anything related to health and wellness. They’re experts in sickcare. My body, my responsibility.
