There is a reason why the love of money is considered to be the root of all evil and it’s not just what people are willing to do to get it, but also the control it grants to the person giving it over the person getting it.

Washington, for example, controls the states by granting them money on a rolling basis, and once they are hooked they threaten to take it away if the states do not do what Washington tells them to do. So they do it.

So is it any wonder then, to learn that the reason schools require and strictly enforce masking children - one of the biggest crimes against humanity in history - is because they are paid to do so by the CDC?

Let’s take a little time to unpack a REAL emergency situation. From the CDC website:

The US obesity prevalence was 42.4% in 2017 – 2018.

Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. These are among the leading causes of preventable, premature death.

The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the United States was $147 billion in 2008. Medical costs for people who had obesity was $1,429 higher than medical costs for people with healthy weight.

Throw a little Covid into the mix and you’ve got one hell of a gravy train! But, let’s not focus on prevention….of anything. There is no money in keeping people well. There are altruistic and caring individuals within the medical community but to the Apex Predator Hospital Administrators you are merely an entry in a ledger. Your value gets higher the sicker you get.

Like President Trump pointing out that the mainstream media are the enemy of the people, this episode has made clear that the public health and medical professions are pale ghosts of themselves, no more advocates of real health than were snake-oil salesmen; perhaps even the opposite. I'm a retired clinical and public health physician, and I've been appalled at my own field.

Public health and medical professions are now simply marketing arms for Big Food and Big Pharma.

Expand full comment

Not all of them (though almost all in public health, a very left-wing, totalitarian-mentality profession), as evidenced by those willing to be fired and who put their very licensure at risk to practice real medicine. But once physicians became employees of 'systems,' which are governed by non-clinicians (even if MDs, but most aren't), who only pay attention to bottom lines, the handwriting was on the wall. I'd add to your sad list that they are also marketing arms for Big Government.

It is also appalling to read comments from nurses discussing their unvaxxed dying patients followed by others stating how stupid and deserving said patients are . Everyone is way too callous and full of hatred and blame these days . The medical community very divided right now. Medical field is a rough profession to be right now and its because of politics.

The US government has, for decades, made recommendations (which are mandate-like in some institutional settings) about diet which are have contributed greatly to the unhealthiness of our population. Influence by industry interests has prevented any reasonable research about how to promote good health from being accepted in the mainstream. It's not just about Covid. But that brought it to light for a lot of people.

Just look at the replies to that tweet from Delaware’s governor though. First, he follows it up by suggesting all the kids need to get the shot. And then the Delaware public rolls in freaking out that kids might not have to wear masks in school…starting seven weeks from now. I said it when Jeff started talking about Narrative 2.0: they’re gonna have a real hard time deprogramming some of these cucks they’ve created, and it’s going to present a real problem for them as their entire base’s collective head explodes. 🀯

Seems like all the Narrative 2.0 statements have the obligation to include a pro-vaccine statement, probably just to make them more palatable. Vaccine skepticism is still a no-no.

It's patently obvious that the vaccines don't do diddly-squat after a few months. The fact that so many places are still requiring them to fly or not wear a mask or enter a building just seems so ludicrous. "Emperor's new clothes" is so overused these days I have a macro for it.

Same playbook because same people. Watch the commercials for the sponsors. At the end,

superimposed on screen and/or verbal, will be acknowledgement that ad is from the state health department and possibly from Fed's Health and Human Services. Ohio has one for flu shots that is misleading (lies). Has body guards in black t-shirts labeled as 'flu shot' who pop up everywhere and stop wimpy sneaky guy in shirt labeled 'flu' from getting into house or near people who took flu shot. But remember, the flu shot, just like SARS-CoV-2 flu shot does not prevent contact, infection, or getting flu. As the doc snarked at me in 2018, "it doesn't keep you from getting the flu, it just keeps you from dying if you do". I didn't need the snide attitude and did not go back. I've worked in healthcare for over forty years and can count on one hand the number of times that I was coerced into taking flu shot.

It's not just governors but we are seeing the same back-tracking in numerous European countries that all started within a few weeks of each other. Those European countries don't have an upcoming SOTU and November elections.

I think Jeff is right that politics is playing a huge part in all of this but there is something much deeper going on. My suspicion is that they've seen shocking info regarding vaccine adverse effects that they know will come out and it's too far to big to hide. We've seen snippets (soccer players collapsing, increased excess deaths, twenty year olds with new heart conditions, etc.), think how much more info must be available to the medical establishment.

The pivot isn't just on "learning to live with Covid" but also on the jabs to a lesser extent, i.e. we can't vaccinate ourselves out of this. I suspect we'll see much more of this soon and it won't be long before those in power are acting as if they had nothing to do with the vaccines in the first place.

Expand full comment

You make a good point! It does indeed appear to be bigger than β€˜just us’. And when the politicians complete their pivot on the vaccine, they will trumpet that the vaccines were ALL Trump’s idea! They were his initiative, we didn’t have anything to do with them!

Just read an article where she said since natural immunity can drop off quickly, one should go and get a booster right after finishing quarantine for covid illness… I have no words for this stupidity. I was hoping for her being somewhat reasonable after her comment that cloth mask don’t work… I guess it’s too much hope… after what other illnesses do doctors recommend getting a vaccine for it? How about after you get better from the flu, go get a flu vaccine… or after you get over a chicken pox, go get a chicken pox vaccine… the most upsetting part is that people believe these β€œexperts” that they need a booster shot after being recovered from covid…

Has anybody noticed something BIG is missing in the news?

It's the warnings of "a new variant" that is missing. EVEN if there IS a new variant on the horizon, which there easily could be, it'll be the quietest news never seen.... because now they NEED the Pandemic to lift. All of a sudden there may be a "rise in ordinary colds," or something like that, but I think we can easily say that the news will ignore any "new variant" that might be on the horizon (for once - the MSM is doing a GOOD thing.).

BTW I had symptomatic Covid in the past two weeks, verified with a positive test. Despite my age and good though less than perfect physical condition, if I hadn't seen the positive test results, I'd have told everyone "looks like I caught a cold." Not a SEVERE cold, mind ya. Just an average, everyday-type cold.

I always wondered why hospitals were so hell-bent on not offering treatments and/or experimenting with drugs. I expected doctors would be willing to try anything to save their patients

The liability shield explains it all.

Expand full comment

Hospitals are being incentivized. So much for every CoVid patient they put in a no visitor’s ward. So much for giving them Rundeathisnear. So much for ventilators. And so much for keeping patients a certain amount of time. If they die after a long struggle with CoVid, more money. While liability might be part of it, the big money hospitals are making is more. Hospitals are literally murdering people allowing drugs and ventilators to kill people. A new story just broke here in Michigan over the death of a 41 year old man in a Detroit area hospital after a 6 week battle with CoVid. His wife is taking to the press to tell her story. It’s similar to Jeff’s patient that died. This wife finally got a doctor who would give her husband ivermectin and he improved dramatically only to have an ICU doctor yank it. The man spent another 3 weeks with the wife begging for them to give her husband other treatment before he died. I hope she can find the legal support to go after them.
