Things like this confirm to me that I am 100% on the right side of this whole covid circus.

I have a three year old and she has never been tested, masked or isolated and I will do anything I can do postpone that moment as long as possible (the goal being indefinitely).

Hey Bruce!.

Imagine if his parents showed your grandson that less than 5? people have died with/from covid in 2 years in Australia under the age of 20.

But science/facts doesnt matter anymore..

22/12/2021

"..The median age for those who died from COVID-19 was 83.7 years (81.2 years for males, 86.0 years for females)..."

Notice how the tricksters hide the low deaths rates by making the first age stratified group 0-59 and the rest in 10 year increments...

Dig that stat on the median age of death. I mean, in the First World, the median age of death itself is like 80 or so for men and 84 or so for women. COVID’s median death rate is EVEN HIGHER.

That's occurred to me now. The vaccine schedules for children are ridiculous. And annual flu shots at school are the only thing we can now avoid.

Doctors typically refuse to diagnose the condition if the patient is vaccinated so the diseases have been renamed not reduced.

For example rates of paralysis and congenital defects have increased since the polio and rubella vaccines even as doctors have stopped blaming polio and rubella.

Now you know what's happening with covid vaccines. Unlike other diseases, anybody can get tested without doctor permission so it's *obvious* the covid vaccines don't work. But in truth, it's no more useless than all the others.

Amazing. I know many families that masked and isolated their 7-8 year olds when they got this fever. Growing up I got all sorts of illnesses - my parents never thought of anything but ensuring I recovered. Back in the day - my dad had smallpox and recovered - my grandmother was with him full time.

Times have changed for the worse in the last 50 years. I was a sickly child, mom never went to work, and was always at my side, trying to get me to eat some ! When I was in my 20s a small political party tried to make it in Belgium that promoted moms to stay home, and pay them somewhat. They were ridiculed. I have been thinking whether that might have been a much better solution than having both parents working and never be home with their children.

Yes. As someone who has considered herself a feminist for the past 25 years, I am coming to realize that "feminism", in it's popular iterations, is an oxymoron like "antiracism" and "LGBTQI+"ism and...even environmentalism these days. Feminism seems to have served the role of diminishing the necessary and irreplaceable responsibilities that women--people with uteruses and breasts--have in a healthy human society. And I am talking strictly about child rearing. Sorry, but I no longer believe that women ought to be our national leaders and CEOs. In the short time that we've been shoving that idea down everyone's throats, just LOOK what has happened! Fauci isn't female, and it isn't the fault of female leaders that sociopaths like him do what they do...and authoritarianism has always been a human tendency, but...female leadership doesn't seem to be helping at all. It is precisely the most DELUDED females, in my opinion, the ones who most readily wrote off the ache in their hearts when they dropped their babies off at daycare or underpaid nannies to pretend to mother their children, who end up at the top of organizations and governments. Mothering is what I am freaking FOR. It's the only "job" I've ever had that was truly fulfilling--the only time in my life when I haven't questioned what the point of living could possibly be. Feminism basically teaches us that women aren't that different than men, and that men and women can and should have interchangeable, almost indistinguishable roles in all parts of life...well...except that women who sell their bodies for sex and reproductive surrogacy are "girl-bosses". During pregnancy and after giving birth and becoming a mother, I realized that most feminism is complete BS. I called my job a month before I was due to come back from maternity leave and said "I'm never coming back". I have been poor in order to mother my child. And now I am self-employed, and that is also unacceptable. Why in the world wouldn't society give mothers a living wage so they could do that most important of jobs with full attention??? True feminism would recognize what an absolute miracle it is to be FEMALE, that bottles and vibrating swing chairs and iPads and whatever else might keep kids alive, but they really just enable us to starve our children of the emotional and physical closeness that is their birthright and biological need. Almost all of us have been deeply and forever damaged by our parents' acceptance of the idea that mothering can be replaced by technology and "child care" institutions. We have been factory farming humans for so long now that it's hard to even find a healthy specimen.

I agree. My own wife was very independent, but gave up a measure of that for a time when she had our three kids, taking off work to raise the kids through their tender years. She’s back at work now about six years back and already has a tenured job as a professor. Our kids are doing well, thanks to her dedication and willingness to be a mother.

My wife stayed at home too to take care of our kids. We made less money but it was worth it. Bringing up children is possibly the most important job in the world. Talk about subsidized day care (here in Canada) makes me wonder if the governments want to indoctrinate most of the kids early?? I mean why not pay mom’s some support to stay at home instead??

Similar. When I stayed at home my friends were mortified. A grad degree abs stay at home mom?! My family was only concerned as they didn’t trust my ex husband (rightly so lol). The first few years are truly mother child time. By nature an infant nurses - only the mom can provide that. Mine nursed for years and I didn’t feel comfortable working until they were old enough to go to preschool. I still much rather would spend more time at home supervising but alas money.

Men should be paid what they deserve... and are. About 5% of the population earns minimum wage; most earn more, and it's because they earn it - are worth it through hard work, skills, education, etc. Nobody is entitled to live; if you don't want to work, or have no useful skills, you starve. That's just nature. Too many people don't understand why people are paid what they are paid.

Expand full comment

I get your point, Bandit. I don't disagree necessarily. It is, indeed, the mainstream opinion in America and most of the "1st world". But it seems to me that what happened when men were paid a living wage, then women who chose to work outside the home were also paid a living wage, as you propose...is that everyone gradually started making less (supply and demand), and then making less and less, until all women needed to work in order to support the family. It's much more complicated than that, but in short it seems not to have worked out well. And from the perspective of a human being who would, in your scenario, be 100% dependent on one individual man for sustenance for myself and my child or children were I to choose to parent them myself rather than turning them over for factory farming...I have to point out the abusive potential (and reality) that exists within such a scenario. I think, in times past, the smaller sizes of our societies might have allowed for more monitoring and mitigation of abuse from heads of households. But in this wildly overpopulated world, I think we really just need to recognize that mothering is work, and pay women who care for their own children 100% of the time when their children are under a certain age. A woman and her children ought not have to tolerate abuse in order for the mother to parent full time. And tax dollars spent to prevent children being abused or neglected are tax dollars spent to prevent children growing up into adults so twisted, addicted, disconnected, fearful, and hateful that they'd fall into scenarios like the modern one in which we find ourselves.

You say, "mothering is work". I disagree. Just like fathering, mothering is a duty, privilege and an honor. If you have to be paid to raise your own children, then you really don't want to be a mother for your children's sake. Society was changed to replace fathers and families with government programs...paid for by other people who do work and are not that child's parent but may have children of their own to support as well as yours.

When you get paid to care for children, you generally get paid by whoever the children belong to.

If the government is paying you, what does that imply?

I wonder why most European countries can pay decent wages, 36 hour weeks, 4 weeks paid vacation, about 10 to 12 paid holidays, extra pay for unusual hour work, saturday work, double on sundays and triple on holidays. everyone has health CARE not insurance, and paid sick leave. America strikes me as very poor there, working class is being treated a bit better than slaves

Expand full comment

I think it's more complicated than that. I've just read that there is now a market for rental robots that are cheaper than minimum wage. As more and more robots and AI replace human labor, there will be less and less demand for it. Less demand equals a declining wage. And no matter how hard one works, becoming a brain surgeon may not be possible. On top of that, many years ago, the difference between a CEO's and the bottom rungs of the employee's pay was a fraction of what it is today. How did that increasing gap happen, and is it justified? I also remember discovering that the further a position was from being able to be quantified, the higher the pay scale. For instance, a worker on a production floor whose work was determined by the piece produced was a pittance in comparison to someone in marketing or advertising, whose work was hard to evaluate from a money standpoint. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I hope centralized planning is not where we end up. I don't believe if we all own nothing, we're going to be happy. Unless Klaus envisions us drugged out of our senses.

Totally agree. I don't know why mothers ever wanted to get a Carreer. I know that after WW2 there was a shortage of men doing jobs, but that should have been temporary. I think the idea of paying moms at home was a great idea and wonder why it was ridiculed, because the parent at home for the children is the anchor (I know a few home-men who do a great job too)

The amazing thing is that these are exactly the same "parents" who helicoptered their kids even when they went to college. Now, they are willing to send them into places that follow a CIA torture manual, suffocate them with filthy rags all day, and pump them full of an experimental poison that even the CDC admits can cause serious heart problems. More afraid for their own "safety" than the well-being of their children.

Same. When we take our kids out in public—they’ve never been masked despite the mandates—we constantly have people approach us and tell us how nice it is to see kids out in public. The unspoken implication is to see their *faces* in public.

Amazing how such a simple thing brings so many such joy. Even apart from all the other reasons not to mask, this has cemented it more than anything else for me.

Without children we have no future, and we have been rewarded many times over for raising children of courage, not fear. Hard as it can be, it’s worth it, and in the real world others appreciate it too.

In order to show remorse you have to accept you did something wrong, which requires knowing right from wrong, in which case you wouldn’t have done it in the first place.

We have developed a society wherein many - particularly most of the political class - do not have a sense of absolute morals, because their parents and teachers did not teach them. We live in the age of moral relativism, where it is acceptable to destroy public or private property, to injure people and commit injustice as long as it is done in a good cause, by members of a favoured group on an approved, but changeable list.

Seems like the world has run amok. LIke I stated elsewhere, I wonder how things would have evoluated, if wages had been that only one parent needs to work, while the other can raise the children, like it was when I was a little kid. In our classroom of 33 may be 2 or 3 moms worked, and that was in their own store, in their own home. All the rest were stay at home mothers. There was even a tendency to pay mothers-at-the-hearth, so the jobs would be for the fathers and they would get better pay. I also know a few stay at home fathers. But now people have to work 2 jobs each and the children are left alone at home, having to raise themselves, having to eat terrible school food... I think that is a big problem.

Expand full comment

I concur. I believe this is one of the major factors contributing to all kinds of problems. I began working outside the home when my daughter was 2, and it is now the biggest regret of my life. And for what...money? One breadwinner used to be able to support a family, buy a house, car, etc.

Expand full comment

There were other support systems in the past, now pretty much vanished. Even if a mother did have to work (widowed, divorced, husband incapacitated, etc.), there were aunts, grandparents, extended families in general. Now there are few extended families living together or nearby, so the only option is an impersonal daycare. My own mother had to work from the time I was 2 years old, but when she lost her husband she moved in with her parents, and I had a grandmother who was at home and an aunt who lived in the next apartment building across a courtyard from ours. We no longer have these extended families. It's a shame.

I was in Pacifica Ca. last June visiting relatives when a neighbor popped over onto the front deck to visit with her three and five year old kids. Five year old was masked- three year old was running around the driveway, kept throwing his mask on the ground and mom kept retrieving it (from the wet ground) and putting the damn thing on his face while he screamed and resisted. When she found out I was a speech path she shared that she was "worried about his speech development" and "maybe I could listen to him"- I told her he would have to take the mask off first. That was the end of our interaction! Here's the clincher: She is a psychiatrist! yikes. Well....sign ME up! (ZOOM ONLY!) haha

Oh for goodness’ sake. All these children, not getting enough oxygen to their body/brain, and re-breathing their exhalations! It’s just so disgusting. I guess all common sense is out the window. I consider it child abuse.

Once I met a fellow lecturer at a uni who wore a fetching Australian leather hat. It was a good item to initiate a conversation. I found out the guy was from Israel, and asked him which department he was with. "Try and guess," he challenged me. I fired away: "Psychology," And so it was. We became good friends, regardless.

God help that poor child! Any advice for a 4 y.o. with a speech impediment - never masked, just natural tongue challenges [r's and l's] - at this time? He is a 4th child who is homeschooled and has a million things to say but only his mother, siblings, me (gramma) and sometimes his father can understand about 70% of what he is saying. His younger sister speaks more clearly but she is now using his pronunciation! funny, but not.

Anyway, how do homeschoolers access speech pathology services that are not Zoom and do not require masks? And I have heard there is a nearly 400% increase in speech problems, yikes!

Hi Amy- r and l errors are pretty age-appropriate for a four year old. the /r/ can be a problem up until 7 years old. The /r/ varies with vowel context so is difficult to teach. Maybe read a story about a lion/tiger and "growl". (errrrrrr). For /l/ prodution I would just maybe have him try and imitate silly "singing" sounds and watch you while you go "la la la"- maybe find a story you could work it into. Have him look at himself in a mirror while he does this- make it fun. Buy a book full of "l" words of find some picture cards (plenty to run off on the internet!) Say them with incorrect pronunciation and correct- (I am assuming he is using a /w/ for the /l/ right now? Have him drop a block (lego?) in a container every time you say it correctly. This will give him some discrimination skills. Kids are really not able to monitor their own production at this age. Girls typically develop language and speech more quickly- but I bet he is ahead of her physically. Right? The fact that she can go "back and forth" from correct to incorrect is quite the skill! I worked at a preschool where kids are getting speech- haven't talked to any of the therapists but they are in person for sure- and I hope to god they are not wearing masks because that would just be dumb! Good luck! (P.S. writing all those suggestions make me miss my job!) :-) Please contact me for any other suggestions/questions.

Thank you, Cheryl. You confirmed my hopes and general experience that this is an age-appropriate problem. Your suggestions are helpful. As it happened, when my daughter stopped over yesterday she mentioned that she was able to find a speech therapist through her homeschooling mom friends. They will be meeting her at a local library in a couple weeks. My daughter has been a bear about the masks on her children and only relented for her daughters - 9 and 8 - while they take ballet, and that only because it is the only "extra" these kids had before the coff hit and because class is only an hour long. I am so sick of these criminals muzzling children.

Many will show an astonishing capacity for absolving themselves. "Oh, no one could have really known!" "No reasonable person could have trusted all those other people!" Back in college we did engineering problems by writing "Given . . " and listing all info we had and "Find . . " listing the desired result. These people start with "Given: I'm wonderful, always right and can never be blamed for anything!" and, in the end find that they were wonderful and can't be blamed for anything.

Yep, and several times in that interview she refers to things that "weren't previously known." Sorry, Bari, but they WERE known and you either knew it then and were too chickenshit to say anything or too propagandized to notice.

I’m on day 4 of Q after popping hot for the ‘rona. I got it from my wife, who got it from one of our four kids, probably the 5 y/o who is the only one who had symptoms worse than a fever. Wife has mild cough and congestion still. I had an ear ache. We did not isolate from each other, and as exhausting as kids can be, they also give the energy to keep moving. Love them too much to abuse them like that!

Not discounting your experience at all and thanks for not masking your kids. What's amazing is that a little over 2 years ago, our families would have just said, "We all have colds" or "We all have the flu". Now it's "we all have covid" (and most of the time the only way we "know" that is because of phony testing). Thanks for staying strong and protecting your children from the real threat: Tyranny.

That child is a prisoner for life. They will always want security and do anything to get it.

I remain stunned at how many people are getting their young children vaccinated. What is really crazy is that many of the people I know who are getting their children vaccinated are not crazy maskers, and they let their kids play, interact with other kids, play sports, etc. for the entire time before the "vaccines" were available for kids, and the kids were fine.

I play hockey with a bunch of these people. I love them, but I've lost respect.

Breakthrough cases are not rare, and according to CDC, and WHO, there is no difference in transmission rates between vaxxed and unvaxxed.
