remember when i told you that it would soon be difficult to find anyone who admitted to having been in favor of most of these draconian covid mitigations?
well take a good look:
here is megan “lock down, mask up, and close the schools” ranney, who so memorably got caught telling fibs about how full the hospitals were clarifying for us what “we knew in RI in summer 2020.”…
of course, one of a skeptical bent might be induced to ask:
but, of course, the internet remembers and so, we do not have to guess.
here is megan herself in her own words from, wait for it, the summer of 2020.
quite a different tune “we” were singing back then, no?
this will go on and on. now that this is the losing side and the harms it inflicted to no good purpose are clear, it’s a very low status position to have held.
everyone is going to change jerseys and claim they were always a good guy.
this is a prevarication that they should not be allowed to get away with. those who cheer led for this mess should not retain position and credibility by pretending they opposed it.
that will sentence us all to a repeat of this movie and the sequel will be worse, i promise.
and this is why it’s important to call this out.
allowing past arsonists to claim they were firefighters is not a recipe for future conflagration mitigation.
You could be describing a lot of the ruling class, but the top prize for matching your description goes to Energy Secretary and former Michigan Governess, Jennifer (Dumb Blonde) Granholm.
Dear smart blondes - I know there are lots of you out there, but people like Granholm perpetuate the stereotype. Sorry for using it, but it fits that particular village idiot.
And I just discovered you! Great article. I wrote a similar letter to the Illinois Holocaust Museum. I have a long memory for those who shunned, disinvited and acted afraid of me since I did not destroy my immune system with an unnecessary, experimental product with no long term safety data.
The only problem is that just last month Walensky said they wanted to give people a “break” from WuFlu rules which implies that the rules can / will return. I imagine the current Jersey switchers will revert to type & ask for harder & faster if the rules come back. It’s not so different from our “betters” who felt no guilt or shame - much less a need to apologize - when caught flaunting every rule they demanded of us.
They aren’t done w/ this (or the next crisis du jour) by a long shot, IMO
My biggest worry is that it will turn out that the people who got the shots have permanently compromised their immune system and as a result we'll have legitimately bigger problems, that just don't go away. Like what Alex wrote today.. https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/urgent-covid-infections-in-britain
With long term effects totally unknown @ this time, it’s hard to know if immunity compromise is temporary or permanent or if there is any protocol to mitigate the damage.
If all of this shit comes back again by Fall & jabs & boosters are again mandated or forced, the more jabs one takes, the more likely is permanent damage & death. I believe that’s a feature, not a bug
Sadly, yes. And when it comes to the fear-driven mechanism of population control, it has been shown to be most effective to proceed in waves, giving the population some time to "relax" before the next onslaught. This is why we can't let up on pushing to destroy this process, just because they "gave us a break".
Maybe this IS population control in the sense of reducing our numbers. It's been no secret that many influential individuals and groups have been talking about overpopulation since the 1970's at least. I also do not think that it is a coincidence that the drive to legalize euthanasia (aka assisted suicide) started about the same time that the government and others started saying Social Security was in trouble. When wealthy politicians start calling people like me "deplorables" I pay very close attention. I have learned people may lie about liking you but they NEVER lie about having contempt for you or hating you.
I don't think we should rule this out. For as much as we know about the dangers of this shot, we don't know for certain what's really in it and what it will do in the long term. What is very clear, is we are under enormous pressure to all take it.
We have not only been put under enormous pressure to have everyone get the shot, it has all been under false pretenses. Whatever the reason, it is NOT for our health.
Human capital is the most valuable kind. It is no accident that more people with more communications invent more and more ways to improve our lives with less cost and pollution, to boot.
My even bigger worry is that the jabs will have permanently compromised human immune systems and tptb will be able to offload the blame for injuries onto covid or something else, and it will be used to forcibly inject the last holdouts...and when the injuries are 100%, they'll claim it was the holdouts fault and use that to justify eliminating all choice in medical care including whether you want it at all.
I share this worry also. This is why we cannot rest in bringing the facts to light. The silver lining of this situation is that the safety profile is so egregious that it takes a lot to miss it. "Variants" is another path we must block. We need to make sure everyone is aware of the fact that variant specific boosters are equally pointless https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/variant-specific-boosters-fail-to?s=r
As I told my brother, a world in which I have no right to my own body and choices about what can and can't be done to it are no longer mine to make but my government's, my employer's, or the corporate aristocracy's, with the consequences of their failure of judgement falling squarely on me and no liability and only profit and power for those who forced it on me no less, I am nothing but a disposable lab/labor animal with no future. That is not a world I give a shit about saving.
Brilliantly said. The next time someone trots out the "you don't care" line I am going to use your argument. No, why should I give a fuck about global warming, saving the whales, or even preventing nuclear war?

If the goal is instability - mission accomplished
If the goal is chaos - mission accomplished
We have to provide credit where due...we can also add to the list:
Small businesses making up the majority of jobs - problem solved! The few largest corporations are back in control!
Booming employment, which lead to increasing pay and increasing labor costs for the largest corporations - SOLVED!
Stellar growth in middle class income and economic security - SOLVED!
Economic mobility through education, training and leading to more good paying jobs and fewer minimum wage jobs which lead to a reduction in numbers of people below the poverty level - SOLVED!
Stagnant inflation rates - SOLVED!
Not enough people on government assistance, totally dependent upon the generosity of federal spending - SOLVED!
I feel the same way. I think in the fall we will have our usual flu deaths, + covid and covid related deaths. Those will be played up to maximum scare effect. They will find a way to blame unvaccinated people again in the fall, and continue tyrany, is my prediction.
The only thing is, all of that is true & always has been. Real science has never been the template…. And the sheeples that bought in - in many cases will never listen. It is encouraging to see SOME awakening to irrefutable evidence now. Not sure it is most
Dr. Yeadon, do you have a theory about the outbreaks at Belgium's Princess Elisabeth Polar Station and Kiribati? Not sure if this is in your wheelhouse. It seems they went through a lot of hoops and took precautions to no effect.
Not really, I don’t treat much of what’s happening as a science or medical problem but as a global crime, where scientific examination can unearth some of it.
I’m much more interested in persuading non scientists to look at the obvious deceits that to try & make all the pieces fit together.
I’m not satisfied that the diagnostic tests are good enough to unequivocally diagnose “covid19” from numerous other clinical conditions with substantially overlapping presentations.
Ive even kept hearing there is no such thing as covid 19, too, because no one has isolated something in it or about it (I’m one of those non-scientists, sorry!) that would prove it exists
I don’t think that is what he is saying. He is not satisfied in the testing used to see if an individual has it or not. Not the same thing as testing done on the virus.
Yep. All one has to do is look at the massive legislation that has been passed in numerous states (yes, even "free" Florida) that gives "health officials" the authority to pretty much do anything they want in an "emergency" up to, and including, forced "vaccination" with the police at their side.
Not just in the States. One of several big red flags for me is the almost universal responses to Covid. Even cultures that can not usually agree on anything are in agreement on the need for the same mitigation measures.
Since the sheeple have already been conditioned that masks are fine, it won't take much to return to that edict. Facts don't matter only comfort to these poor excuses for Homo sapiens. Yes, we must remind them of the facts tho I like the Cheshire Cat grin myself at the masked. Now, to get those Cleveland Clinic doctors to accept the truth. They are shameful & mean.
My guess is possibly before the midterms to instigate lockdowns & mail in balloting again but that could be really risky because the party-in-power is being rightfully blamed for every bad thing
Sadly, I thought there might be “a really strong backlash” when “2 weeks to flatten the curve” dragged on 2+ years. I was frankly astonished, bewildered, blinkered, you name it - at how quickly & completely people joined in w/ masking, distancing, indiscriminate closure of restaurants & other businesses, lockdowns, mandates, eagerly rolling up for 1st jab, 2nd jab, booster, all w/ zero (or very little) backlash.
This is indeed a sad story. The question is, how many people are now awake, and how has "turning off COVID", combined with the steady drip of vaccine failure, awakened more people? There are also some courageous people who may inspire courage in others.
Somehow, this has to work or we are pretty screwed. If there is good news, I think in some ways they have been moving too quickly. So many things - the response to the Canadian Truckers, the handling of Ukraine, turning the fear operation on a dime from COVID to WWIII, are all things that are letting the mask slip.
I agree w/ the “too quickly” & they don’t even pretend to hide it: you can find all sorts of videos by Schwab, Gates & their minions discussing great reset, scamdemics to come, etc. I bet Turdeau (not a misspell) really got called on the carpet w/ the bank freezing stunt & how quickly, completely & easily that can be done & how that might really alarm the plebs.
I have yet to have any of my liberal friends tell me they were wrong or have regrets & I haven’t asked because I’m not sure they’d be honest. But I can tell from comments on sites like this & others that there ARE many awakening or regret getting vax’d, etc. Hope springs eternal, but Nemesis, hurry up!
I was disappointed in my fellow Americans in the homeland, I live in Japan, when they did not, individually or collectively, she’d the masks and just plain ignored the mandates on July 4th, 2020. I think that should have been done much earlier but by then it should have been clear to one and all that they were not working and were not going to work and that the infringement upon our rights intolerable. Nope, like everyone else, we’re just sheep.
Yeah, I know they did this exact thing before, but maybe more people are on to them this time around.. that was what I was expressing hope about. I do think that we are in a different scenario now, but that could just be wishful thinking.
The switch-flop-flip happen when polling numbers are showing that it's not helping poll numbers for an upcoming election.
November is looming. 2021 was a disaster of historic proportions. The economic damage done to turn the 2020 election accumulated, amplified 1000x by insane escalation of federal spending and even broader power grabs and constitution (and human rights) circumvention. Instant energy policy blockades that have made $6/gal gas seem a good deal (more than doubling cost in 1 year) and equivalent escalation in costs of other energy products have left people hurting. Real inflation is worse than we've seen in nearly 100 years - real as felt by real people. Your monthly bills, your basic needs, for a lot of people the last year has brought 100% increases. By any objective metric, economic disaster.
If the election were held two weeks ago, The Party that brought us all this would lose in impressive flames. The real "accomplishments" of the last year (Joe did promise to make it worse, remember) have to be turned into "wins". Somehow. Make people ignore all that.
Being honest or accurate won't do it. So hang on kids, this is going to get interesting!
they seem to think they can just lie and get away with it...brings to mind a favorite phrase of my grandmother's. They are so crooked they could dance under a snake with a topcoat on.
I ask myself "how can people repeat the mistakes of the past? Does no one remember Nuremberg and the lessons we learned?"
I answer myself: "they remember Nuremberg perfectly well. They understand that 'following orders' does not constitute a satisfactory defense. This is why they opt for outright revisionism instead."
on another note--I use twitter little except to troll libs and "experts". yesterday I accused Dr. Vincent Hill of WHO of crimes against humanity. gutless scum. lamp posts on the horizon.
Her twitter thread on vaccines from December 2020 is full of all kinds of inaccurate stuff, by today's standards. You know, stuff that could be called mis- and disinformation or just plain old lying to the American people....
As a physician and epidemiologist I never entertained saying the vaccines were safe nor effective. The trials were underpowered and the 95% effective against infection mantra was just not palatable to me to spread. The vaccine safety surveillance system is archaic except for the extremely biased V-safe system.
Yes, el Gato Malo, thank you for this. We must call these people out on this and we must not allow their past statements to go unexplained. I posted Dr Ranney's July 2020 tweet under her current one noting that dis and mis information may result from changes over time.
Absolutely!! They’re coming after good healthcare professionals who are honest with people, but let’s send them their own propagandists, instead! Talk about Mis/Disinformation
Plenty of random people doing this, but for a "public health official" to do this in a public capacity is, in my opinion, criminal. I saw something this morning that a woman who "died of covid" in 2020 after supposedly catching it from a school child, whose death was thoroughly sensationalized here in Chicago, turned out to have died from alcohol poisoning. So who originated the story that she died from covid? For a policymaker to knowingly use a fake story, fake data, etc. to push an agenda is no different than calling in a false bomb threat or CNN saying Iraqi troops were throwing babies out of incubators.
There are some grey areas for "truth" that you don't want to criminalize to protect free speech, but if an individual can sue for libel, why can't an entire country?
“…everyone is going to change jerseys and claim they were always a good guy.”
I’m on record. I was always the good guy.
The shamelessness and hypocrisy of these people, the villains who denied children an education and bankrupted small businesses en masse is astonishing.
They are even more brazen liars than Bernie Madoff. And are destructive on a vastly greater scale.
Removing history does help to solidify the idea they are never wrong. Why change the behavior when they can just change the facts & feel like a hefty dose of Chanel No. 5 live the fantasy!
Ranney is a plague on Rhode Island. She advises the RIDOH along with her spineless pal Ashish Jha. She is a full-on lefty activist and self promoter, period. A prime example of the very worst type of folks brought forth by the C19 fiasco. Meanwhile she and Ashish have been hawking online strategy seminars for political and business leaders on Covid strategy, at $2k/seat.
I get it - they destroyed our children, our businesses, and our peaceful society. But what are we to do with them now? If we had any power over these people, they would not have been able to do all this damage. What power do we have now? Sincere question.
I don't think we have power, and I don't think we can get power. I've been studying this issue for a long time and I have come to the conclusion that most people are powerless. Why is a complex answer. One obvious answer is those that do have power tend to have more education and wealth than others; they also have the know-how to bend public opinion. The lower classes (poor/working poor) have always been powerless, voiceless and invisible. Now the middle class, which had been previously insulated from all this, is learning that they too are powerless, voiceless and invisible. Because we have nothing to bargain with. We hold no chips, no cards. We are not involved in the institutions that run our lives; we aren't even involved in local politics, which is where it all starts. We aren't organized, like the Marxists/Socialists/leftists. Even our churches are just figureheads, for the most part. They have no influence anymore. I go to church and I see people who are caught up in problems they don't know how to solve--but the people that DO know how to solve these types of problems, the people that CAN make things happen and cut through red tape, they either are not there or they are silent. All that can be offered are thoughts and prayers. Well, we have seen now how effective that is. So to answer your question, in order to get power we need to understand what it is, how it works, how the system works, and that takes a lot of work. For some of us it means stepping out of our comfort bubble and see how the rest of us really live. How the laws and systems are set up to favor the well-off and educated. The deck is really and truly stacked against us. I used to tell my neighbors in the trailer park that the absentee slumlord owner didn't care if we used drugs or drank or surfed the web for porn or played Candy Crush on our phones--that's exactly where he wanted us to be. What he DID NOT want is for his tenants to use the internet to learn what their rights were and what they could do about the situation. He wanted us ignorant and gullible and we readily complied.
Trust me my friend there are some of us who have, until now, questioned our calling in life. Mine is now clear. I will spend my days making these people pay dearly for their hubris the last two years.
So, in a nutshell, nothing has been substantially eased in terms of anything. And if anything, it is continuing to be an assault on individuals that is increasing.
Perhaps they are reading their own hidden data that vaccinated Canadians are the ones ill and dying by two thirds.
Love the bolding and all-caps on the really intimidating text. Would that be the part when an assisted reading device would change gears and start yelling at you what is written?
News flash for piss poor ignorant Megan Ranney-take your MD and PHD and shove it up your ass-that is all your credentials are worth and all that comes out of your mouth is shit.
Might she claim that in the summer 2020 she was stuck in the mass formation psychosis and not responsible for her words or actions? In that case we should celebrate that she is now free!
A true Covidian will see no conflict between those two tweets, and will say that keeping schools open was conditional on "safety", which was determined by N daily "cases", where N is some arbitrary and ever-changing number.
I haven't worked out the mathematical model yet, but I think it might be expressed as N = K / F, where N is the number of "cases" needed to trigger school closures, K is a constant, and F is the Covidian's fear level (0 to 10). So if the fear level is great (say, 10), it takes fewer "cases" to close schools than if the fear level is low.
It is left as an exercise for the reader to describe mathematically the relationship between fear level and propaganda intake.
I just spent some time going through Ranney's Twitter feed. Talk about misinformation!! I am now more stupid from reading her drivel, but, ironically, more informed on the stay of medical care in the US. Barring being on the receiving end of a gunshot wound, I doubt I ever willing go to see a doctor again, they appear to all be PharmaKing quacks.
It sort of reminds me of those skits that happen in some situation comedies when a person "remembers" a past event and it is nothing like it really was.
There are so many supposedly educated people who received their "education" at colleges that have as their criteria: Pay, Show up, Do the minimal amount of work required, Say the right stuff, and in some cases for more advanced degrees --- kiss the right asses.
Higher education has gotten a lot lower over the past 40 to 50 years. Yes there are plenty of people who actually learn all kinds of things because of self motivation but many, many people with degrees know jack shit. This has devalued degrees.
We need a new term for these degree holders who know jack shit. I like Diseducated.
None of this is sour grapes. I have a BS with triple majors and an MA.
Some people are slow to change their jerseys. Mask wearing is still widespread on the north side of the City of Chicago. I see this in stores, on the sidewalks, and elsewhere. For example, during a visit to a public librarary branch in the afternoon two days ago (8th March), I noticed that almost everyone was wearing a mask. Most patrons, even the people who looked homeless, were masked. All of the library staff on the floor were masked, although the security guard had hers on her chin when I entered. Among perhaps 20 people, I saw just two others who were unmasked in the proper way. One is a middle aged white male, and the other, a white girl of about 8. A prominent sign on the front door indicates that masks are optional.
Pretty much concrete evidence from 2015 about the lab "leak". They explain everything in detail. 35 and on. You wanna listen to it cat.
Narrated by Ralph Baric himself.
"Vincent, Rich, and Kathy speak with Ralph and Vineet about their research on the potential of SARS-like bat coronaviruses to infect human cells and cause disease in mice."
An old punishment for women telling tales, spreading lies, and general slander was they had to wear a device which would cut their tongue if they spoke.
Men got a public flogging instead.
And both had to wear a special hat in church.
Musing aloud, but they weren't stupid way back when.
We need a clever term for that- like TDS, Branch Covidian, Karen, etc. Any ideas? I have to eat dinner before I can brainstorm. Hard enough remembering examples.
The missing link: revisionist history combined with suppression of inconvenient truths as "misinformation" or "extremists propaganda". When you quote someone's past statements the can and will claim you made that up - that the "tweet" copied was fraudulently fabricated by some right wing extremist conspiracy.
Of course we've seen this before. Even before 2020. But this has been a mainstay of the last 2 years. A guy who has many patents and scientific publications on his work on mRNA technology is called "misinformation" because he questions the validity of how the technology is being characterized by the media and politicians. Everyone who was critical of Trump's attempt to restrict entry from certain countries (OK I'll say it - China) in late 2019 did a 180 by March 2020. WHO had on their website a recommendation that governments invoke travel restrictions. The day Trump suggested some, WHO took that recommendation down and said travel restrictions were NOT warranted. Pretty much at every step this kind of flip flop fraud has been like gravity: it is inevitable and never fading. This is of course just one of many, many types of fraud that have become the mainstream methodology.
No worry. It'll all be OK. I am from the government and I am here to help. Just submit and comply....
Another Twitter MD impervious to reason and evidence. So many of them! It's sloppy logic to blame masks for interrupting literacy development in young children? Um, no. That's called the truth you self absorbed monstrous turd!
Dropping this here and elsewhere for some meme-warriors to weaponize...
Crossing the wires of the propagandized, I would like to ask with false naiveté:
"Hmmm, I was just thinking, maybe it's not such a good idea to risk civilizational incineration on behalf of a country that is less than 40% Vaccinated! 🤔"
It's like, they'll hand out Kalashnikovs to their babushkas, but they don't even care enough to protect them from the terrible coronavirus!!
Memory and IQ of a goldfish, attitude of a lemming

I agree that’s the plan….
On the other hand, if the next crisis really is nuclear war, then any compromise from the vaccines wont matter at all. Call that the bright side?
IDK, other than to say the goal is instability & chaos. Mutual annihilation is obviously quicker than the slower damage / death from vax
This.
As I told my brother, a world in which I have no right to my own body and choices about what can and can't be done to it are no longer mine to make but my government's, my employer's, or the corporate aristocracy's, with the consequences of their failure of judgement falling squarely on me and no liability and only profit and power for those who forced it on me no less, I am nothing but a disposable lab/labor animal with no future. That is not a world I give a shit about saving.
Brilliantly said. The next time someone trots out the "you don't care" line I am going to use your argument. No, why should I give a fuck about global warming, saving the whales, or even preventing nuclear war?
Why save a world where even the very most basic human rights such as the right to basic bodily autonomy no longer exists?
Look on the bright side (PUN intended): when the nukes go off, you can (for a brief moment) yell "global warming IS REAL" just before the flame front reaches you....

I feel the same way. I think in the fall we will have our usual flu deaths, + covid and covid related deaths. Those will be played up to maximum scare effect. They will find a way to blame unvaccinated people again in the fall, and continue tyrany, is my prediction.
Then we each of us would be doing us all service if we are clear as often as possible that;
-masks have no effect on respiratory virus transmission
-lockdowns are not associated with reduced hospitalisation & deaths
-probably in part because asymptomatic transmission is epidemiologically irrelevant
-these gene based products aren’t vaccines based on any performance criteria that make any sense
The only thing is, all of that is true & always has been. Real science has never been the template…. And the sheeples that bought in - in many cases will never listen. It is encouraging to see SOME awakening to irrefutable evidence now. Not sure it is most
Dr. Yeadon, do you have a theory about the outbreaks at Belgium's Princess Elisabeth Polar Station and Kiribati? Not sure if this is in your wheelhouse. It seems they went through a lot of hoops and took precautions to no effect.

Not really, I don’t treat much of what’s happening as a science or medical problem but as a global crime, where scientific examination can unearth some of it.
I’m much more interested in persuading non scientists to look at the obvious deceits that to try & make all the pieces fit together.
I’m not satisfied that the diagnostic tests are good enough to unequivocally diagnose “covid19” from numerous other clinical conditions with substantially overlapping presentations.
Ive even kept hearing there is no such thing as covid 19, too, because no one has isolated something in it or about it (I’m one of those non-scientists, sorry!) that would prove it exists
I don’t think that is what he is saying. He is not satisfied in the testing used to see if an individual has it or not. Not the same thing as testing done on the virus.
Right 👍🏽
Agreed, but they already know that. Knew it before all this started.
Yes, I keep trying .
Yep. All one has to do is look at the massive legislation that has been passed in numerous states (yes, even "free" Florida) that gives "health officials" the authority to pretty much do anything they want in an "emergency" up to, and including, forced "vaccination" with the police at their side.
Not just in the States. One of several big red flags for me is the almost universal responses to Covid. Even cultures that can not usually agree on anything are in agreement on the need for the same mitigation measures.
Since the sheeple have already been conditioned that masks are fine, it won't take much to return to that edict. Facts don't matter only comfort to these poor excuses for Homo sapiens. Yes, we must remind them of the facts tho I like the Cheshire Cat grin myself at the masked. Now, to get those Cleveland Clinic doctors to accept the truth. They are shameful & mean.
Gotta get past the midterms
My guess is possibly before the midterms to instigate lockdowns & mail in balloting again but that could be really risky because the party-in-power is being rightfully blamed for every bad thing
Yes, I hope that if they tried that, there would be a really strong backlash.
Sadly, I thought there might be “a really strong backlash” when “2 weeks to flatten the curve” dragged on 2+ years. I was frankly astonished, bewildered, blinkered, you name it - at how quickly & completely people joined in w/ masking, distancing, indiscriminate closure of restaurants & other businesses, lockdowns, mandates, eagerly rolling up for 1st jab, 2nd jab, booster, all w/ zero (or very little) backlash.
And now they’re conditioned for the next phase
This is indeed a sad story. The question is, how many people are now awake, and how has "turning off COVID", combined with the steady drip of vaccine failure, awakened more people? There are also some courageous people who may inspire courage in others.
Somehow, this has to work or we are pretty screwed. If there is good news, I think in some ways they have been moving too quickly. So many things - the response to the Canadian Truckers, the handling of Ukraine, turning the fear operation on a dime from COVID to WWIII, are all things that are letting the mask slip.
I agree w/ the “too quickly” & they don’t even pretend to hide it: you can find all sorts of videos by Schwab, Gates & their minions discussing great reset, scamdemics to come, etc. I bet Turdeau (not a misspell) really got called on the carpet w/ the bank freezing stunt & how quickly, completely & easily that can be done & how that might really alarm the plebs.
I have yet to have any of my liberal friends tell me they were wrong or have regrets & I haven’t asked because I’m not sure they’d be honest. But I can tell from comments on sites like this & others that there ARE many awakening or regret getting vax’d, etc. Hope springs eternal, but Nemesis, hurry up!
I agree 100% I really thought there would be more backlash in Spring 2020.
I was disappointed in my fellow Americans in the homeland, I live in Japan, when they did not, individually or collectively, she’d the masks and just plain ignored the mandates on July 4th, 2020. I think that should have been done much earlier but by then it should have been clear to one and all that they were not working and were not going to work and that the infringement upon our rights intolerable. Nope, like everyone else, we’re just sheep.
They have! Not only tried it, they did and have gotten away with it. Thus, it must be expected to happen again.
Yeah, I know they did this exact thing before, but maybe more people are on to them this time around.. that was what I was expressing hope about. I do think that we are in a different scenario now, but that could just be wishful thinking.
All depends on political usefulness.
The switch-flop-flip happen when polling numbers are showing that it's not helping poll numbers for an upcoming election.
November is looming. 2021 was a disaster of historic proportions. The economic damage done to turn the 2020 election accumulated, amplified 1000x by insane escalation of federal spending and even broader power grabs and constitution (and human rights) circumvention. Instant energy policy blockades that have made $6/gal gas seem a good deal (more than doubling cost in 1 year) and equivalent escalation in costs of other energy products have left people hurting. Real inflation is worse than we've seen in nearly 100 years - real as felt by real people. Your monthly bills, your basic needs, for a lot of people the last year has brought 100% increases. By any objective metric, economic disaster.
If the election were held two weeks ago, The Party that brought us all this would lose in impressive flames. The real "accomplishments" of the last year (Joe did promise to make it worse, remember) have to be turned into "wins". Somehow. Make people ignore all that.
Being honest or accurate won't do it. So hang on kids, this is going to get interesting!
How can she give people a “break” if it’s so dangerous?!
Facts are random & completely lacking in logic back to 2020, dontcha know?
"flouting"
Keep the pressure on Gato! Rip them a new one every chance you get. You are awesome.
Remember, history is written by the victors!
Time for the truthtellers to win!
they seem to think they can just lie and get away with it...brings to mind a favorite phrase of my grandmother's. They are so crooked they could dance under a snake with a topcoat on.
Tophat! Spell check always gets in the way. Or maybe it is WEF tring to control the message.
tophat topcoat...both work for me. I can see the person in a topcoat squirming under a snake or limbo pole.
I knew what you meant
Your grandma had a way with words!
I miss our conversations about politics...she had them nailed....
Love that!
I ask myself "how can people repeat the mistakes of the past? Does no one remember Nuremberg and the lessons we learned?"
I answer myself: "they remember Nuremberg perfectly well. They understand that 'following orders' does not constitute a satisfactory defense. This is why they opt for outright revisionism instead."
So true.
100% Make then admit to the failure of the policies they recommends or we will be dealing with this again very soon.
I am old enough to remember when medical staff were posting that the unvaxxed should be denied medical care. Is this still a thing?
A vaccinated friend in CA needs minor surgery. Ooops sorry 'schwab' up the nose and surgery postponed - the entire vaccinated family has mild Covid.
Still is.
on another note--I use twitter little except to troll libs and "experts". yesterday I accused Dr. Vincent Hill of WHO of crimes against humanity. gutless scum. lamp posts on the horizon.
There is another inconvenient tweet by Dr Ranney: https://twitter.com/meganranney/status/1338841290100903937
Her twitter thread on vaccines from December 2020 is full of all kinds of inaccurate stuff, by today's standards. You know, stuff that could be called mis- and disinformation or just plain old lying to the American people....
As a physician and epidemiologist I never entertained saying the vaccines were safe nor effective. The trials were underpowered and the 95% effective against infection mantra was just not palatable to me to spread. The vaccine safety surveillance system is archaic except for the extremely biased V-safe system.
Yes, el Gato Malo, thank you for this. We must call these people out on this and we must not allow their past statements to go unexplained. I posted Dr Ranney's July 2020 tweet under her current one noting that dis and mis information may result from changes over time.
Report her to the surgeon general. www.surgeongeneral.gov/rfi
Absolutely!! They’re coming after good healthcare professionals who are honest with people, but let’s send them their own propagandists, instead! Talk about Mis/Disinformation
Plenty of random people doing this, but for a "public health official" to do this in a public capacity is, in my opinion, criminal. I saw something this morning that a woman who "died of covid" in 2020 after supposedly catching it from a school child, whose death was thoroughly sensationalized here in Chicago, turned out to have died from alcohol poisoning. So who originated the story that she died from covid? For a policymaker to knowingly use a fake story, fake data, etc. to push an agenda is no different than calling in a false bomb threat or CNN saying Iraqi troops were throwing babies out of incubators.
There are some grey areas for "truth" that you don't want to criminalize to protect free speech, but if an individual can sue for libel, why can't an entire country?
LOL and fyi, https://endgameseries.com/sneak-peek/david-martin... filed a lawsuit against Biden etc. for calling the jabs vaccines, for starters...
“…everyone is going to change jerseys and claim they were always a good guy.”
I’m on record. I was always the good guy.
The shamelessness and hypocrisy of these people, the villains who denied children an education and bankrupted small businesses en masse is astonishing.
They are even more brazen liars than Bernie Madoff. And are destructive on a vastly greater scale.
I'm old enough to remember when this same lady prototype would have thrown a hot coffee in your face for not wearing a mask.
More than one of us has thrown that old tweet back in her Twitter face.
Removing history does help to solidify the idea they are never wrong. Why change the behavior when they can just change the facts & feel like a hefty dose of Chanel No. 5 live the fantasy!
Your daily posts are a breath of fresh air.
I won’t even piss on them when they are on fire.
Let ‘em burn.
I sent her a little luv note just now. suggest all us do the same.
Ranney is a plague on Rhode Island. She advises the RIDOH along with her spineless pal Ashish Jha. She is a full-on lefty activist and self promoter, period. A prime example of the very worst type of folks brought forth by the C19 fiasco. Meanwhile she and Ashish have been hawking online strategy seminars for political and business leaders on Covid strategy, at $2k/seat.
I get it - they destroyed our children, our businesses, and our peaceful society. But what are we to do with them now? If we had any power over these people, they would not have been able to do all this damage. What power do we have now? Sincere question.
I don't think we have power, and I don't think we can get power. I've been studying this issue for a long time and I have come to the conclusion that most people are powerless. Why is a complex answer. One obvious answer is those that do have power tend to have more education and wealth than others; they also have the know-how to bend public opinion. The lower classes (poor/working poor) have always been powerless, voiceless and invisible. Now the middle class, which had been previously insulated from all this, is learning that they too are powerless, voiceless and invisible. Because we have nothing to bargain with. We hold no chips, no cards. We are not involved in the institutions that run our lives; we aren't even involved in local politics, which is where it all starts. We aren't organized, like the Marxists/Socialists/leftists. Even our churches are just figureheads, for the most part. They have no influence anymore. I go to church and I see people who are caught up in problems they don't know how to solve--but the people that DO know how to solve these types of problems, the people that CAN make things happen and cut through red tape, they either are not there or they are silent. All that can be offered are thoughts and prayers. Well, we have seen now how effective that is. So to answer your question, in order to get power we need to understand what it is, how it works, how the system works, and that takes a lot of work. For some of us it means stepping out of our comfort bubble and see how the rest of us really live. How the laws and systems are set up to favor the well-off and educated. The deck is really and truly stacked against us. I used to tell my neighbors in the trailer park that the absentee slumlord owner didn't care if we used drugs or drank or surfed the web for porn or played Candy Crush on our phones--that's exactly where he wanted us to be. What he DID NOT want is for his tenants to use the internet to learn what their rights were and what they could do about the situation. He wanted us ignorant and gullible and we readily complied.
Tam - wow, you are very wise. This is a perspective that I had not seen. Thank you!

They want credit for NPIs, I think we should give to them.

Trust me my friend there are some of us who have, until now, questioned our calling in life. Mine is now clear. I will spend my days making these people pay dearly for their hubris the last two years.
I just hope Megan Ranney is able to get as many boosters as she wants.
Meanwhile, in Canada, the Medical Officer in BC issued this earlier this week, as in 2022:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health/about-bc-s-health-care-system/office-of-the-provincial-health-officer/covid-19/covid-19-pho-order-health-professionals-vaccination-status.pdf
I am not in BC (thank God), but my friend is, and I so wish someone would respond to the garbage talking points being spewed in this memo.
So, in a nutshell, nothing has been substantially eased in terms of anything. And if anything, it is continuing to be an assault on individuals that is increasing.
Perhaps they are reading their own hidden data that vaccinated Canadians are the ones ill and dying by two thirds.
Love the bolding and all-caps on the really intimidating text. Would that be the part when an assisted reading device would change gears and start yelling at you what is written?
It is terrifying. It really is.
Item G seems to argue that asymptomatic transmission is not likely to happen which seems at odds with public health warnings.
She was still advocating for COVID-19 restrictions 02/04/2022.

News flash for piss poor ignorant Megan Ranney-take your MD and PHD and shove it up your ass-that is all your credentials are worth and all that comes out of your mouth is shit.
Might she claim that in the summer 2020 she was stuck in the mass formation psychosis and not responsible for her words or actions? In that case we should celebrate that she is now free!
I love bad cats!!
A true Covidian will see no conflict between those two tweets, and will say that keeping schools open was conditional on "safety", which was determined by N daily "cases", where N is some arbitrary and ever-changing number.
"N as relating to number of cases necessary for closing schools is defined as that number +1"?
I haven't worked out the mathematical model yet, but I think it might be expressed as N = K / F, where N is the number of "cases" needed to trigger school closures, K is a constant, and F is the Covidian's fear level (0 to 10). So if the fear level is great (say, 10), it takes fewer "cases" to close schools than if the fear level is low.
It is left as an exercise for the reader to describe mathematically the relationship between fear level and propaganda intake.
I just spent some time going through Ranney's Twitter feed. Talk about misinformation!! I am now more stupid from reading her drivel, but, ironically, more informed on the stay of medical care in the US. Barring being on the receiving end of a gunshot wound, I doubt I ever willing go to see a doctor again, they appear to all be PharmaKing quacks.
She should be reported to the surgeon general for covid misinformation. www.surgeongeneral.gov/rfi
I've already reported the NYS dept of health.
Ms BossyPants (from a prior post) retweets a lot of Megan Ranney.
I’m on my phone now but will paste those tweets together for @DefiantLs if someone doesn’t get to it first (and please do, these experts need shaming)
Honestly, we are all on long leashes … like mad dogs or skillful cats we need to slip the tightening noose.
And dis - obey!!!!
When pilpul fails, the fallback is chutzpah.
This is not a 'hubris encounters nemesis, leading to eventual metanoia'. That's not how they roll.
This is more akin to "my pilpul is now shown to be bullshit, so I'm-a just pretend I said the opposite all along."
It sort of reminds me of those skits that happen in some situation comedies when a person "remembers" a past event and it is nothing like it really was.
There are so many supposedly educated people who received their "education" at colleges that have as their criteria: Pay, Show up, Do the minimal amount of work required, Say the right stuff, and in some cases for more advanced degrees --- kiss the right asses.
Higher education has gotten a lot lower over the past 40 to 50 years. Yes there are plenty of people who actually learn all kinds of things because of self motivation but many, many people with degrees know jack shit. This has devalued degrees.
We need a new term for these degree holders who know jack shit. I like Diseducated.
None of this is sour grapes. I have a BS with triple majors and an MA.
So, I guess the apologies aren't coming are they?
Some people are slow to change their jerseys. Mask wearing is still widespread on the north side of the City of Chicago. I see this in stores, on the sidewalks, and elsewhere. For example, during a visit to a public librarary branch in the afternoon two days ago (8th March), I noticed that almost everyone was wearing a mask. Most patrons, even the people who looked homeless, were masked. All of the library staff on the floor were masked, although the security guard had hers on her chin when I entered. Among perhaps 20 people, I saw just two others who were unmasked in the proper way. One is a middle aged white male, and the other, a white girl of about 8. A prominent sign on the front door indicates that masks are optional.

Pretty much concrete evidence from 2015 about the lab "leak". They explain everything in detail. 35 and on. You wanna listen to it cat.
Narrated by Ralph Baric himself.
"Vincent, Rich, and Kathy speak with Ralph and Vineet about their research on the potential of SARS-like bat coronaviruses to infect human cells and cause disease in mice."
An old punishment for women telling tales, spreading lies, and general slander was they had to wear a device which would cut their tongue if they spoke.
Men got a public flogging instead.
And both had to wear a special hat in church.
Musing aloud, but they weren't stupid way back when.
We need a clever term for that- like TDS, Branch Covidian, Karen, etc. Any ideas? I have to eat dinner before I can brainstorm. Hard enough remembering examples.
The missing link: revisionist history combined with suppression of inconvenient truths as "misinformation" or "extremists propaganda". When you quote someone's past statements the can and will claim you made that up - that the "tweet" copied was fraudulently fabricated by some right wing extremist conspiracy.
Of course we've seen this before. Even before 2020. But this has been a mainstay of the last 2 years. A guy who has many patents and scientific publications on his work on mRNA technology is called "misinformation" because he questions the validity of how the technology is being characterized by the media and politicians. Everyone who was critical of Trump's attempt to restrict entry from certain countries (OK I'll say it - China) in late 2019 did a 180 by March 2020. WHO had on their website a recommendation that governments invoke travel restrictions. The day Trump suggested some, WHO took that recommendation down and said travel restrictions were NOT warranted. Pretty much at every step this kind of flip flop fraud has been like gravity: it is inevitable and never fading. This is of course just one of many, many types of fraud that have become the mainstream methodology.
No worry. It'll all be OK. I am from the government and I am here to help. Just submit and comply....
I love how our gato can turn a phrase without an opposable thumb.
Another Twitter MD impervious to reason and evidence. So many of them! It's sloppy logic to blame masks for interrupting literacy development in young children? Um, no. That's called the truth you self absorbed monstrous turd!
Dropping this here and elsewhere for some meme-warriors to weaponize...
Crossing the wires of the propagandized, I would like to ask with false naiveté:
"Hmmm, I was just thinking, maybe it's not such a good idea to risk civilizational incineration on behalf of a country that is less than 40% Vaccinated! 🤔"
It's like, they'll hand out Kalashnikovs to their babushkas, but they don't even care enough to protect them from the terrible coronavirus!!
