I belong to a Bible Study group that meets once a week. While most of us are in our 60’s, there are a few in their late 70’s. The older ones when the lockdowns started, literally did not leave their homes for 3 months. They had groceries delivered, washed plastic bags. They wore masks religiously when that first started. As someone who hadn’t bought any of this hogwash from the beginning, I had to practice very restrained patience when we finally started meeting in person again. When the vaccines came out, they nearly trampled one another to get the two shot wonder, even though the rest of us voiced concerns about it. Omicron, flooding this state since December, may have been the blessing in disguise, because even though media and hospitals tell us otherwise we all knew vaxxed were getting Omicron right and left. Now, 10 months later, they all declare they won’t get boosted. That may seem like inchworm progress but it is such a frenetic state as this with fear porn pedaled hourly, it is a big deal. But we need to get universities and schools off this mandate wagon. That’s where their intent lies.

I think the stories of people who were eager to get the shots but don't want to get the booster are extremely encouraging. Yes, this is not inchworm progress; it's huge, and these folks should be applauded and welcomed with open arms.

And I agree about universities. I know a fair number of young people who were Ivy-League bound who are just opting out of the whole farce. (Bad news is that I also am hearing about a college class on Democracy in which the students - and the teacher - are explaining that "natural law" protects Americans from being exposed to unnvaccinated people 🤦‍♀️)

I dind't get the poke, nor the sub-poke. I DID manage to get the WooFlew, though. COnfirmed by raid test. The ONLY symptom I had was being very tired. And a slightly runny nose/leaky head. Fully funcitonal but tired for two days, then back to normal. SO GLAD I did not burden my body with any of their strange nefarious unknow c hemicals. Some folks have told me I NEED to get the shot, as I'm "in the age category" of "high risk" Well, I've never taken ANY of the stupid flu shots, either. Nor shlngles, whatever that ais. And guess what" I've NEVEr gotten any of those flu things, nor shingles. So WY should I do this one?

My son is a musician too. We are losing so much through moving as he is unable to perform until next fall (hopefully will switch orchestras then), new teacher (hopefully they’ll like each other), and eating a lot of money on this summer’s tour of Europe. Very sad.

Please don’t make the erroneous assumption that only Ivy-league schools are brainwashing young people. My granddaughters graduated from UT and TX A&M, both got a heavy dose of liberal indoctrination, and subsequently got their dose of covid vaccine. It breaks my heart because they are smart, beautiful girls. But so mislead!

Yeah, a friend's daughter went to the University of Missouri at Columbia and dropped out after a couple of years, but by then she was cracked. I don't think she will ever be normal, but we still have hopes that she'll at least figure out that she's still a girl.

I agree with your noting in not so many words the STUPID behavior of the "educational institutions". I cannot believe there was not ONE doctor or trainer on an athletic team that could not reason that suggesting prophylaxis with safe approved drugs and vitamins might be something to be discussed with the athletes in their charge? Needless to say, they must have stopped using microscopes in science class and learning about their limitations when compared with electron microscopes AND they stopped teaching how to research science, history or anything. I thank my fifth grade teacher for teaching me about PILTDOWN MAN (1912) and the 40-year long fraud perpetrated on the world by academicians and newspapers until some brave soul with a healthy dose of skepticism proved them ALL WRONG in 1953. We are witness to people refusing to learn from history condeming themselves to repeating it. Mass formation is real and we will forgive its victims and SAVE THE USA!! Thanks to all the C&C crowd, and especially, Jeff Childers.

with fear porn pedaled hourly

hah can't pass this one up. I think you meant "peddled" hourly. as in selling.

BUT it so happens that PEDALLING hourly, sometimes many hours in succession, as on a bicycle will do far more to keep the WooFlew at bay than ANY of their shots or $3000 pills can do. GET OUT and exercise, vigourously, for at least an hour a day if possible. The increase in heart rate, oxugen transer, cleansing of the blood, muscle exercise, is far more effective then tneir bogus concoctions. And don't give me that rot about "too old". I'm in my mid 70's and last summer to celebrate my birthday I hopped on my road bike and went for my annual birthday celebrawtion ride.. at least one mile for every turn I've taken ruond the big bright ball in the sky. I jpkingly declared "I'm too old to remember exactly how many trips round te sun I've taken, so rode 95 miles, just to be certain " did not shortchange myself. There's another guy in my church who is sfive weeks yuonger than I am. He gets winded walking up one flight of stairs, has to repeatedly stop and "catch his breath" when we're at the gound doing maintenance work. etc. Meanwhile I'm more than keeping up with the twenty sometings. He just can't "get it". At least he is strongy agasint THIS vacccine.... well understanding the risks and dangers of the fool things.

Either folks trust in God or they don't, but it's crystal clear the Bible says we *must* do it (i.e. trusting Him is not optional). That doesn't mean engaging in reckless stunts like licking doorknobs at Covid clinics, but it does mean that we don't let fear rule our lives. Within a month it was clear to anyone who cared to look that we were being mislead regarding the magnitude of the threat. Hiding indoors for three months, watching zoom church, and insisting on disinfected groceries, is not trusting God.

Fortunately my pastor has been rock solid on this but far too many church leaders have fallen far short during the past two years. There needs to be a reckoning at many levels of society, the church in particular. I do trust God to handle that!

Wow, that's interesting news about the Canadian entrepreneurs, although not surprising. A lot of Canadians are leaving for the States and Mexico. My husband and I have plans to go to Mexico where he is from. We'll see if the trucker convoy in Ottawa this weekend is able to accomplish anything. There's also a mass business reopening initiative timed for tomorrow. Hopefully that one will be big. This is exactly what we need, Canadians standing up en masse and saying we will no longer comply.

They may have left before it came into force. Also before Jan 22 land border crossers into the States didn't have to provide proof of vaccination. Brian Peckford, the last living signatory of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is suing the federal government for their vaccine travel mandate. We are the only country in the world that has it. Hoping and praying all the lawsuits and protests start to move things back here.

Unvaccinated in Australia also cannot leave. I have to apply for an exemption and they will only grant this if I leave for 3 months or longer. Thinking 3 months in Mexico sounds great. Now just need leave from my work…

Is it true that the overwhelming majority of Australians are supportive of these totalitarian policies masked as public health? I have a hard time believing it, but propaganda is astonishingly effective.

Expand full comment
JJ's avatar

I would say the short answer is yes. Many people are unaware of the international travel restrictions (if you don’t want to go anywhere you don’t know you can’t) and they are also unaware that certain people can get exemptions and still travel unvaccinated (cue the Djokovic drama). But on a wider scale the majority are masking, vaxxing, showing their green ticks to get into restaurants etc. Around 70% of our workforce was mandated for the jab and most complied. I think as a country we are over 90% vaxxed. That doesn’t necessarily mean 90% are happy though. Many who complied are angry. And now they are mandating boosters so where does this ever end. The Canadian trucker convoy is inspirational and apparently we are doing something similar here. Could this be the straw that breaks the camel's back? Idk. What I know is I’ve been separated from my partner in the USA for 24 months so far and I do not comply. I will be leaving this totalitarian country permanently as soon as I’m able.

Thank you Mr. Childers! Donated to Gov Desantis!

I would also like to give a shout out to the group behind the inunction you mentioned today. Feds 4 Medical Freedom is 100% grass roots that to date has been essentially member funded. Between 700-800 named and unnamed federal employees were able to put together enough capital to fund the lawsuit that brought almost all Federal Employees nationwide relief by them having members in all 50 states. The DOJ is looking to narrow the scope of relief in the 5th Circuit or get the injunction stayed. Please consider spreading the word and inviting any federal employee to get connected to the Feds 4 Medical Freedom community.

I made a contribution to the cause! Lots of news today. Slowly, information is coming forth on these dangerous jabs. I do fill my teenage grandson in on the up-dates and he is all ears. He does NOT get political info or health info in school, so I like him to know what’s happening to keep it in mind as he matures. I tell him there’s always 2 sides to a story and he should always be open to look into things. He gets it. Do his research! Have a blessed day everyone and thanks Jeff!

If Bourla and Fauxchi are recommending yearly "boosters", then there can no longer exist a state of emergency. Therefore, the EUA should be immediately revoked.

UM Ross's avatar

The EUAs were granted for "The prevention of COVID-19". By late last summer, it had become clear that those shots were not even 50% effective at doing that (the minimum standard for any kind of authorization or approval), so the EUAs should have been revoked many months ago.

Fabes55's avatar

Agreed. And they changed the definition of a vaccine. Technically there has to be a declared emergency for them to be used. If there's no emergency, they can't be used. If there's off the shelf existing treatments, they can't be used. That's why IVM and HCQ were never approved.

Katcando's avatar

IVM and HCQ are approved for marketing but Cvd not an approved use. But before this bats#1t craziness, doctors could prescribe a marketed product, outside of the label/prescribing information (off label). When and how did they create the ability to forbid docs to do that? Was so grateful for Frontline Docs going to DC and for putting light on the cancel culture

and censorship.

Love C&C every day. May I be allowed one correction without being called a nit-picker? We who know how awful these 'vaccines' are must be accurate in our criticisms. Tom Renz is doing something critical to knock the legs out from under the 'vaccine' narrative. But he is getting his math wrong. 4,182 vs 1,499 (miscarriages) is nowhere near a 300% increase. It's closer to a 180% increase (still, obviously unacceptable). 114,645 vs 38,700 (cancer diagnoses) is almost a 200% increase, not 300% increase. He is much closer on comparing rates of neurological diagnoses since 863,000 vs 82,000 is about a 950% increase. Here's hoping Mr. Renz continues his dogged effort to reveal the true dangers of these experimental jabs. And here's hoping further he sticks to accurate math to make his devastating points.

Finally, the simple math of percentage increases. 20 is truly 200% OF 10, but it is a 100% INCREASE. 30 is thus a 200% increase from 10, etc.

Jim, you could probably find a snail-mail address for Mr. Renz at his law firm, so you could write a letter to him on this subject. You are correct that our criticisms must be accurate and not subject to mockery by the mainstream as a way to dismiss or distract from the still-present increases.

Just contributed and I do feel that helping DeSantis is paramount but perhaps we could look into supporting states like Michigan with grassroots groups such as Stand Up Michigan, which are working towards election integrity, (Michigan’s election was stolen! This state went for Trump and we watched in real time it being stolen), toward changing executive orders in this state and getting local elections, quality representatives. Michigan, along with Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota are all swing states in the Midwest. They were undoubtedly red in the last election, but big tech and corporation payola infiltrated our election process. These states are all forming grassroots organizations that are worth exploring and supporting before we too, become an Illinois, run strictly by the Chicago leftist machine.

Laurie, good point. I've profited from watching some of Rescue Michigan Coalition's training videos on how to recruit and vet conservative candidates for public office.

I understand the sentiment, but Jeff has made progress in cooperating with the DeSantis team on this, and if you donate another way the donations may be missed entirely, since I doubt the staff will spend time looking for all donations ending in '2' from any source whatsoever.
