Jeff,

absolutely fantastic substack…thank you so much for all that you are doing! This is my go-to news source regarding Covid updates.

I can’t stress enough how important your work is…I know you know that, but I know there are tough days…always remember, you have a large, very thankful, support group.

Do not give up and keep up the fight! Thanks for all that you are doing!

It's encouraging to hear Federal judges admit some basic covid truths. If it weren't for the mandates, we wouldn't even be talking about covid anymore.

Especially those who wear masks while driving. And outside when riding a bike by themselves.

VeryVer's avatar

Well, yes, I hate the maskers, too. I feel sorry for them, but I'm also going to avoid them as they are clearly irrational. I doubt their reasoning abilities, and wonder what other superstitious they perpetuate around the house.

The pro vaccine people don’t mix with the anti this vaccine for covid. They are fully vaccinated for now and scared to death of the unvaccinated. I have never experienced anything like this. People cross the border everyday don’t have the MMR or polio or all the other vaccines and yet I don’t worry since I was vaccinated as a child. Why is this vaccine different? I ask them and all I hear is for this vaccine to work everyone needs to take it. What?!? Nobody asked me before forward with this vaccine so I am staying clear of it. I suspect here that misery loves company and I’m not a fan of misery So…..😂

Merck is in a lawsuit for falsifying efficacy data for the MMR

OPV causes vaccine derived polio

There is no use questioning the illogical. It’s an exercise in futility. I just laugh and say you didn’t check with me before agreeing to everyone taking an experimental vaccine. Then they tell me Phizer is approved. I say great tell me where to find Comirnaty? Where is it? Because I read the approval documents and it’s legally and medically distinct from BioNTech. There they go quiet and I explain this is called bait and switch.

They base their beliefs on fear. Once belief based in fear question away they will never accept truth. Have to let them vaccinate until the vaccines run out.

Pharmacies are advertising that Comirnaty is available for 16 and up. When I questioned the pharmacist he said yes, Comirnaty is available. And handed me CDC document stating they are marketing the current/old Pfizer as Comirnaty! I found the info on the CDC website!! And no, Comirnaty is not on the vile - yikes, a freudian slip! - vial label.

For sure I have one young guy three boosters I send him Jeff updates on cases Bc he believed florida cases were high. 😱might have been why got third shot. The poor guy. He believes everyone has to get the vaccine. I hope he didn’t hurt himself with a third shot. OmG.

Executive Branch feds will be "disciplined" starting 23 November if EO 14043 doesn't get nuked. Many agencies will lose experienced, senior employees, maybe 1000+ at each one. Our director told us he is following "The Law" and there is no discussion. He also told us the shots are "safe and effective" and "the best way out of the pandemic."

We had to watch a 30-min video about the extreme dangers of not getting the shots and how hard it will be to keep everyone safe, especially the "unvaccinated." We were exhorted by HR and ER and the Religious Affairs Office to be civil toward each other - the True Believers have been vicious! Some demanded that those who aren't shot up should be housed together in the same offices or wear something that signifies their infidel status.

Yes, really. Our fellow coworkers said this.

If those who are eligible don't retire before "disciplinary actions are effected," we can't get the retirement flag and certificate, even those of us with over 40 years of honorable service. This is pure vindictiveness.

We assumed there would be mass religious exemption denials but maybe not. We heard yesterday that Big DoD "might give permission" for them to start accepting religious exemption requests today or tomorrow, they're still not sure. I have incorporated some of Jeff's suggestions (thank you, Jeff!) into my DD3177 form. Fingers crossed!

It can only be "the best way out of the pandemic" if it's _a_ way out of the pandemic. With the CDC admitting that we can be 100% vaccinated and not get out of this pandemic, that argument falls apart. If they want to keep making that claim, they'll need to formulate a plan that actually would get us out the pandemic, and show how vaccines are a necessary part of that. It's ok, we'll wait... and go on with our lives in the meantime.

He said they only use CDC "data" for every decision they make. #smh

Remember, COVID "cases" are determined by a method that cannot detect any specific virus or differentiate the result from a chain of dead nucleotides that originated in the host. (alleged patient) Furthermore the purported SARS-CoV-2 pathogen is no more than a computer-generated (silica) and hypothetical (fake) virus that has never been physically isolated, according to the scientific rigors of Koch's Postulates, anywhere on earth. -- So, the determination of "cases" is a 100% political maneuver. This is why the magic of PCR "tests" can stop a virus from crossing an imaginary state line where case rates are dramatically different on the other side(s).

Is the following a misquote from the judge's Ascension ruling:

"they do not protect people from contracting the virus, nor do they prevent people from getting the virus.”

That's saying the same thing twice. Hopefully he stated that the vaccines do not protect people from contracting the virus, nor do they prevent people from TRANSMITTING the virus.

Harold Saive's avatar

Not a serious misquote considering the ruling, and can easily be corrected in MHO

Curtis's avatar

Maybe so, but it keeps me from posting it anywhere, which I'd definitely do if it was worded correctly.

Harold Saive's avatar

Jeff had no problem posting it. The preponderance of the quote and the implications makes make it worthy of re-posting.

Curtis's avatar

He may not have noticed it. I'm making my own judgment. It takes away from all the other statements because it can be made fun of. "The stupid judge doesn't know that contracting and getting the virus are the same thing."

Just read the document. Sadly, it's not a misquote.

I'm copying and pasting the judges findings and forwarding it on to Governor Cooper here in NC. Also to our Lieutenant Governor, Mark Robinson, who is a wonderful and powerful voice for the people of this state. Governor Cooper, not so much.

I am a healthcare worker that will be fired soon. Is there any litigation against the CMS mandate. Does the OSHA litigation apply to the CMS mandate? Thank you

So the court admitted that Ivermectin works. Of course we all are thrilled it was finally put on the record. I’ve been asking since the beginning of Ivermectin being used successfully even though the govt/media banned its use and lied about it, why does an anti-parasite cure this virus? Doesn’t it stand to reason that covid is a parasite then? That it’s not actually a virus? I know several people who got it severely and said it was an attack on their bodies never before experienced. One woman I know personally said she felt it for two days attacking different parts of her like it was trying to find where to settle, and then it did and she almost died. Had she gone to the hospital they would’ve killed her because of their protocols with ventilator and remdeathsavir. She stayed home and fought it with Ivermectin and some other antibiotic protocols, but now months later still recovering. The others described it like it was alive and demonic. All have concluded it was for sure a bio weapon engineered. Not a simple virus. Just wondering.

My go-to Covid intervention is tonic water -- because quinine is an anti-malarial. So far, I'm still alive, so it must work, right?

Sunnydaze's avatar

I’ve heard of lots of people using this as well.

LisaF's avatar

Joe rogan’s podcast a few months ago covered why it is that ivermectin helps. Worth looking up.

Sunnydaze's avatar

Thanks! I’ll look it up

Here's where you can read the fuller text of the Ascension injunction ruling. I believe Jeff posted it; it's on Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qi7x86dxiyh8e0w/20211110%20-%20Ascension%20Injunction%20Ruling%20Excerpt.pdf?dl=0

I'm looking for a directory of independent minded medical providers in North Carolina. Sister is trying to finish nurse practitioner clinicals, just got turned down for oversight by a doctor because she sought exemption and it "might be a conflict" in his view. Advised her maybe it's time to hire a lawyer, but as a student trying to enter the industry, she doesn't need to make enemies. So--anyone know of lists of independent medical providers in NC? BTW--if your Dr is Roger Hill with Blue Ridge Health in the Morganton NC area, you might want to find someone else for your health care.

Can you direct me to the a link with the actual quote from the judge ruling in Assentation Hospital case. I think this would go along way in what I need to convince a leader in an organization I belong to to stop expecting everyone in attendance to be vaccinated.
