The Covid narrative continues to shift.

So this guy writing this realizes, as a medical student almost done with all his years of study, that he’s screwed and people won’t trust him as a doctor. Tough red pill to swallow.
This was another Scott Adams special. We're recalcitrant conspiracy theorists and morons who are just causing more death with our refusal of vaccines. Limited hangout take 5, dripping with condescension.
Quite right. Condescension with a side of slime. "Incomprehensible to us due to this class divide. . ." In other words, he's shoving the scientists/doctors/other "elite" who were against lockdowns/masks/injection mandates under the rug, acting like they don't exist because he wants to boil this down to class politics. In the end, he still thinks of the pro-mandate side as our betters. The writer (or committee of writers hiding behind a name? Who knows?) is a propagandist of the slipperiest order.
I like that he realizes the effects of policies made on certain parts of the population BUT he does not realize the jabs themselves were a mistake and cost lives. At least he doesn’t admit that in the article.
So when all is said and done, it is simply another attempt to passively obscure and deny the fact that the injections are causing harm. Everything else is window dressing.
This opinion article is a minuscule hairline crack in the massive dam of scientific/medical/authoritative abuse. It’s too little too late to gain back lost trust in the system. I’ve opted OUT of the medical clown car merry-go-round.
My opinion only. He didn’t really sound sorry that those measures were taken. He just thought people should be able to say they didn’t like them. Maybe I didn’t read close enough, but did he actually say the measures taken were wrong? Maybe he did, but I was too mad reading for it to sink in. He even implied that minorities and less educated people weren’t smart enough to know the “experts” were right. I don’t remember him mentioning that the shots weren’t safe and effective either. What an ass!
Principal of granddaughter’s school sent text yesterday. All childhood vax take up is down in Tennessee. Not many trust medicine any more. We all know we are just dollar signs.
You are absolutely right. He still dismisses "the downtrodden" as believing in conspiracy theories. If only the elites had explained better and allowed the impoverished a chance to be heard, things would have been different. (It actually sounds to me like "conflict resolution 101", let both sides feel like they are being heard.) This guy has an elitist attitude and is trying to throw out a humble vibe, but the attitude still shines through.
These elitist pricks (sorry for the language but I am so mad nothing else fits) really gall me, they can all go to hell as far as I’m concerned!! I have two degrees and consider myself “educated” but I also know that degrees and book learning don’t guarantee discernment and being capable of rational thought, nor do their absence guarantee the opposite. Plenty of very smart and astute people out there who have limited formal education, and I get really angry at this kind of condescending attitude.
An 8th grade education from 1900 probably required more knowledge than many college degrees now. Have you ever seen a sample of a test from that time period?
Plus you have all the Californians moving to Tennessee because of SB 277. That’s the new bill that ends any vaccine exemptions, religious, medical, etc. The only way you can get an exemption is if you’ve already had a reaction to a vax. But, it has to be the same vaccine, not all vaccines. They’re also going after any Doctor that writes an exemption.
I didn't really see that as an apology either. I took it more as a public acknowledgment of all the things the MSM, in this case Newsweek, were wrong about. Perhaps the author is just the sacrificial lamb to get this published. Progress.
All in the spirit of backpedaling. Remember the C&C episode about 'Cooling The Mark'. This is an aspect of that....a bit of hangout, let the masses vent, swap out the puppets and then it's back at it drumming up as much fear and uncertainty as they can without collapsing the entire tent....yet.
Well, interesting "My Bad" article. On one hand, I'm glad to see such an admission of guilt slithering out into the MSM public readership arena in a publication like Newsweek. But on the other hand, he dismisses his previous "errors in thinking" way too lightly. He glosses over what was perpetrated on everyone to the tune of millions of deaths. He still has a dismissive attitude toward those who dared to think differently from the mainstream narrative that was being crammed down our throats. He says he's an advanced medical student, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that I, an ordinary non-scientifically trained citizen, have read, researched and know far more about the whole covid debacle than he does. My opinions were formed by hundreds of hours of studying and reading, and NOT based on what basically uninformed doctors and media lackeys told us.
Had no idea what that even was at the time.....of course went from Newsweek to lots of other sites, but they were early in at least a limited glimpse into the truth of all this.

Yes, he was overly "class divide" aware, wasn't he?
Full of crap article.
Or maybe he is smart enough to know he needs to get out in front of the new narrative. Either way, kudos.
True. Very hard to tell where he’s coming from. He’s got a tough road either way
Don’t even want to ponder the student loan debt he has.

He also misses that they lied openly- about hospitalized cases, about deaths, about... It was lies, not preferences that caused this.

Agreed. Sad that we're left with dribs of truth breakthrough to get excited about.
It's gonna take a reboot of the medical industry.
Newsweek is as insane as they come, but does leak out truth bombs now and then.

You probably got those degrees back when colleges actually taught something. I found it interesting that Sasha Laypova says this
"I now realize that the level of my primary education exceeded that of an average college in the US today"
in her background notes here.

Telling that they still use an Alphabet-Expression from 1963 to marginalize dissent. Desperate measures.
Same here. Condescending pr*cks, one and all.
Makes ya wanna smack the smug mask right off them. Metaphorically speaking that is.
I agree.
Yep, he still champions the jabs, just laments their approach to manipulate us ordinary folk.

Just the fact that this got published in Newsweek speaks volumes.
It speaks "limited hangout" through a CIA mouthpiece.
All in the spirit of backpedaling. Remember the C&C episode about 'Cooling The Mark'. This is an aspect of that....a bit of hangout, let the masses vent, swap out the puppets and then it's back at it drumming up as much fear and uncertainty as they can without collapsing the entire tent....yet.
Yep...

No big fan of Newsweek, but they did publish a couple of articles in April of 2020 that sent me down a multi-year rabbit hole looking into the virus origin. https://www.newsweek.com/controversial-wuhan-lab-experiments-that-may-have-started-coronavirus-pandemic-1500503, even brings up RAT G 13, the likely precursor.
and: https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741 Noting Fauci's role in gain of function research.
Had no idea what that even was at the time.....of course went from Newsweek to lots of other sites, but they were early in at least a limited glimpse into the truth of all this.
This is very true, and why?... The shell game continues...
https://anderdaa7.substack.com/p/covid-policy-2020-vs-2023-and-prophylactics
Yep! Gaslighting.
I think someone wants the term “gaslighting” to be memory holed. Makes sense, given the recent attempts to make gas stoves a thing of the past. 🙄
More gas-lighting shell games...

Yes but then he would have been acknowledging those people are as smart or smarter than he is and we can’t have that /s 🙄
You’re a smart Cat! 😊
