Jeff Childers had a fascinating take on the Jennifer Gibson video—he thinks she intentionally framed her message that way to smuggle the truth past the censors:

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/c-and-c-news-friday-september-30

As far as pay-for-play goes, I just covered that in my latest piece on the WHO:

• “What If They Threw a Pandemic and Nobody Came?” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/what-if-they-threw-a-pandemic-and)

I include a video of former WHO Director-General Margaret Chan saying the quiet part out loud:

“Only 30 percent of my budget is predictable funds. Other 70 percent, I have to take a hat and go around the world to beg for money. And when they give us the money, they are highly linked to their preferences, what they like.”

"I don't know why I am making this...."

Yes, she does. She is a professional actor. She's PO'ed that it happened to her. She knows the game that has to be played in a culture of woke-mobbery to cancel anyone outside the narrative.

The sad thing is I think a lot of people think the same way she does. They don't see the difference between actual consequences of a disease, and government restrictions. And she acts as if these restrictions ARE immutable laws. I bet she's gone over the speed limit, even ran a red light in her time on earth, and yet she believes that like a mime in a self-created imaginary box, she has to get a vaccine in order to "see people." This buy into the "contrived" must make her an extraordinary actress.

Many really believe they would've been hospitalized or died without the vax and that the side effects were worth it. Ugh.

Got a vaxxed and boosted friend right now on her third week of 'ro symptoms who went and got boosted even after I presented her with info that essentially said, "Don't do it!" I've warned her off the bivalent, but it won't surprise me if she gets that too.

I have a vaxxed/boosted family member that reported to me their vaccine status. I warned them the same thing, and also walked through the reasons why at the very least, it should never have been mandatory. When I last talked to her...following her booster, she contracted Covid and was on her second week of still being under the weather.

To your first point, my only supposition is that when I tell people like this I have had Covid twice, I believe they disbelieve I've actually had it since I wasn't vaccinated or was skeptical of a lot of the rules about it. They would probably think I was "lucky" I had not died.

I had Covid in April 2021 and I have family members who are sure that I was lying because I didn't die and they are furious with me for not getting vaxxed.

I think Jeff spots an attorney endorsed statement. The wording for us non-legally minded folk doesn't say much, but to an attorney, it can be telling. Plus as he points out she didn't endorse the shot for health reasons but due to implied social/business/governmental pressures.

Sometimes you have to skirt the truth to let bits of it escape the overseers. The Covidians will see it as endorsing the shot but others' see the problem, hence the viral trajectory of the video.

It's viral simply because it's demented.

Why doesn't someone just ask her covertly to see if her comment was covert?

Surely she would know a covert question, if indeed she is smart enough to message covertly herself.

I actually agree with Jeff on this one, especially when you note when she actually filmed this. (Maybe a year ago?) She said this and presented her condition as a vaccine injury in the middle of the harshest period of “don’t talk about it” - when any other actors/actresses/performers/politicians did not publicly acknowledge a connection, while acknowledging their health challenge. She straight up said it. Which is actually quite remarkable, esp given the timing.

How does one avoid being cancelled and yet get the message out? If she's canceled, she'll "never work in this town again" and they will work hard to brutally minimize her. The "she'd do it again" is license to pass the scrutiny of the various censoring groups.

If she gets her colleagues to agree it was a sad fact of getting vaccinated, that's far better than Justin Beiber not linking his case to the vaccine.

Good point. I am not invested with either point of view. Except people do things when backed into corners. I am specifically thinking if the European women who had intimate relations with Nazis. If she is lying, she’ll burn in Hell with rest of them. But thus is definitely a spirited discussion. Cheers to all, it’s Friday evening!

Viewing a different Instagram video suggests she actually meant it when she said she'd do it all again. Perhaps the consults with her doctor normalized the serious nature of the event and she accepts it as a social cost.

I was going to mention Jeff’s POV as well. It is nuanced and I don’t think he’s wrong. Her life is likely ruined and she well knows it.

I sincerely hope you're right about Ms. Gibson. I mean, she IS an actress, and the TV/film industry is one of the very few still mandating shots, especially for people that are not stars.

And colleges. Lots of colleges are still mandating them. Because the average 18-22 year old is such a risk. (insert an eye roll here)

Update: Based on Ms. Gibson's public Instagram account, she seems to be a mainstream leftist. While nothing is 100%, it does NOT seem likely that her Bell's Palsy video was an attempt at subverting censors. It was more likely to be exactly as brainwashed as it appeared.

Thanks, Lex—I have come to the same conclusion after encountering that followup information.

Jeff makes a good point, one worthy of consideration. Who on earth would watch that video and nod in approval? If he's right, it's a masterful stroke on her part.

Of you watch and listen to her very carefully and without prejudice I think Jeff has read her correctly.

I disagree with Jeff on that one. He is being far too charitable IMHO. She, like the vast majority, traded in their "rights" for "privileges" so they could "do things" like travel, go to shows, etc. All they had to do was grow a spine and say "NO".

While I don't wish ill on others because it's just plain bad karma, I just can't feel sorry for them anymore. It's not like they deserve it because nobody deserves it, but they are willingly trusting the very people who've lied to them repeatedly about "no early treatments", "lock downs work", "masks work".

Now they are allowing children to be murdered and are still silent.

I agree with Jeff and Margaret Anna. I think she just had enough gumption and damage to state it as she did. I believe she is likely inconsolable and can hardly feel triumphant. Who could?

I think Jeff is absolutely right in his assumption.

That video is from 2021 and was censored/repressed at the time. Not sure why it's popped up again all of a sudden. I'd be curious to know if she still feels the same way.
