Let me tell you something about NYC:

When a guy like that makes De Blasio look like a world-beater, you may then know your civilization is in decline.

Im sorry but this is what happens when you import tens of millions from shithole countries and give them "free" stuff. Sorry, but true.

We still have a BIG and LONG fight ahead of us

I visited right after Covid and loved the people and the vibe of the city. It felt safe enough to allow my kids to walk downtown at night. The capitol was a beautiful building and I found the lack of security refreshing, as if I stepped back in time when people could be trusted. Perhaps when in session it is different. I went for spring break so experienced snow and trees still bare so haven't seen it fully. I know another visit during summer is needed.

“Overpopulation” will never happen. At least not for long. Nature shows us that disease, predators, disaster, or other issues reduces populations in the wild when they start to increase. So it goes for humans.

It SEEMS like we are overpopulated because we concentrate in city centers where in the past we lived more on farms and villages, spread out more. So there is more humanity in less space. Drive around the US and you can see wide open spaces that aren’t farmland, but still habitable if we needed it.

We have more an issue of consumerism and consumption. We waste and we want and want. We use our resources on McMansions that the rich only live in for a few years before growing tired of it and move on to build yet another one. Resources wasted in the closet full of our clothes made of plastic and fitting room regret. In the food we shovel into the garbage because we heaped too much on our plates instead of saving them for another meal. We consume so much. And so much that we don’t need to consume. We are just greedy and are never satisfied.

THAT is the issue. Not too many people.

" Any evolution preacher that doesn't have lots of kids is a failure by his own metric."

Not how that works.

1/ Preachers are for religion, Scientists promote science.

2/ The metric for genetic or evolutionary success isn't the only possible metric for success.

3/ Even with genes, the success of not just your personal genes, but those of your family and even the entire species is what actually counts. None of our genes get unaltered when we pass them on anyway. This is why, for example Gay people are a part of our evolutionary success, as are, say Grandparents.

Exactly. Who's been in charge during the decline of the USA, Canada, and Western Europe? It hasn't been immigrants, blacks, Asians, or Hispanics. And what was the majority race in these countries who voted to put leaders who seem dedicated to destruction of Western civilization in charge? Let's put the blame where it belongs. There is a sane minority who gravitate to right-leaning substacks. But the majority of the white race is hopelessly naive, plain stupid, or both. Not saying other races are better or smarter.

In the USA, our leaders have been overwhelmingly white males, and still are. I'm not defending blacks, who for generations vote 90% for the party that wrecks their cities and keeps them poor and in servitude. I'm just saying blaming others is dumb. Our white male leaders have done the damage. Even if what you say is true in the USA, Europe didn't have substantial minorities until recently. The white Europeans wrecked their societies themselves. The friggin' Swedes are the poster children. A very nice country that decided to let in a flood of immigrants who hate their values and breed much faster. A moron would know where that leads. Yet they thought it would be fine. The rest of Europe is the same. We're fortunate to have blacks and hispanics, who are mostly fine people (despite the self-destructive loyalty of blacks for democrats, similar to white females), instead of what those idiotic losers invited in. Face it, the white race is not smart enough to maintain a decent society. I'm not saying others are better. But maybe they are. The Chinese and Japanese value their ethnicity and want to preserve their culture. Blacks celebrate their customs, as self-hatred overtook whites. We did this, not blacks, not immigrants, not Chinese. White people have been in charge, and oversaw the entire decline. On purpose.

Much of what you write, I have long-pondered - about this self-destructive approach. It seems that nearly always, the horribly bad decisions made by white leaders were purchased with votes or money.

Guess it comes down to greed and the lust for power. And there’s always an irresistible temptress and white people without honor and integrity. Great sins!

Not sure if you’re talking about an Apple Watch or not but I was always wondering why Apple charged so much for their bands which you could find bazillions on Amazon for nothing.

They weren’t wrong - I don’t break out to their bands but used to get hives randomly every now and then from the knock-offs.

As a computer professional for over 40 years, I have seen how common is an affinity for tech for tech's sake. I implement tech where it's appropriate, and make things better. It's best IMO to stop at that point. I read some years ago that high-intensity exercise is most effective if you achieve a certain level of heart rate. Maybe BS, maybe not. Anyway, it seemed worthwhile to wear a heart rate monitor, and see what I needed to do to get into that target zone. Took a couple of weeks to accomplish that. Why TF would I continue to wear the device once it's told me what I need to know? Still have it, but haven't worn it in years. My wife and I would never wear a fitbit and look and feel healthier than every person we know who does. What it boils down to is some are compelled to get exercise and eat good food. Some are not. RFK's "wearables" won't change that. IMO, nothing will. I believe in freedom - couch potatoes have a right to vegetate, eat cookies, and drink soda all day. It's their life. A fitbit is a feel-good tool to make people feel like they are being health-conscious without doing anything that actually works.

The "wearable" push was an odd thing to hear, though apparently Means has investments in wearable tech. Personally - most of the wearable devices just aren't efficient.

That works well for me and I don't use it for too much else, but that was also my choice to go with it. Mandating it - not a fan, even as part of some requirement for government assistance programs.

In December I had an “emergency” pacemaker installed for a “I should be dead” slow heartbeat with no symptoms. Now I am supposed to spend 3 hours every night with a monitor turned towards my bed, as I sleep gathering info on how my pacemaker is working. As a person, that tries to stay as far away from doctors and hospitals as possible, this really angers me. I turned the monitor away from the bed, then I went away for two weeks and did not take it. No calling my cell wondering if I was dead. Makes me wonder what it really is collecting.

wkenn's avatar

So many variables... How slow? Does your HR elevate with exercise? What ECG patterns and PQRST intervals are involved? BP? What prompted the 'emergency' implant? The pacemaker itself has a number of designs based on the target site for pacing. Not prying, it piqued my interest, thus making a casual comment.

Expand full comment
LMWC's avatar

Long story, try to keep it short. Regular Medicare Wellness visit to my PA. My BP was a bit low so they put a pulse monitor on my finger. Showed pulse rate of 32. Since I had no symptoms, I didn’t know that I should be alarmed at this. An ekg had the rate go to 29 resting. A referral to a cardiologist 4 weeks later, another ekg showed the same rates. Cardiologist felt I was in line for a pacemaker and he referred me to an electro cardiologist, the appointment 8 weeks away. Meanwhile, I was to have an echocardiogram and be fitted for a heart monitor two weeks later. The tech reading the echocardiogram didn’t like the slow heartbeat which again was the same. She called in a floor cardiologist who told me I needed a pacemaker TODAY! They would hustle me down to ER, and an emergency pacemaker would be installed that afternoon. It scared the crap out of my husband and he wanted it done. I saw the cardiologist who did the pacemaker for maybe 4 minutes in pre op, never saw him again. Saw his nurse post op and went home with a pacemaker and frozen shoulder two weeks before Christmas. Healed alright and felt no different than before, but I have a battery life of 10 years, get to see a device manager once a year, and have a monitor record my data. 😟

Expand full comment
Copernicus's avatar

And I bet no one bothered to understand WHY your heart rate was so low.

With no symptoms, it seems they could have paused, collected themselves, and been a little bit curious. Nothing like fixing the underlying cause before jumping to a permanent implant. Thyroid, other hormones, soooo many things.

A family member developed low HR and syncope, likely due to covid jabs. Got a pacemaker. Had a bedside monitor as well. I couldn't ever get over wondering how the nightly EMF (and the presumably constant Wi-Fi signal the pacemaker apparently emits?) was influencing (harming) their body.

Expand full comment
LMWC's avatar

The PA did blood work and a thyroid check first. The first cardiologist I saw was 4 weeks after my initial wellness visit with my PA. He referred to himself as a “plumber” and I needed an “electrician”. He believed I had been dealing with this condition for quite awhile. His referral was an 8 week out appointment. My best guess is that the echo tech was alarmed by this. When she consulted the cardiologist on the floor, this doctor checked and there were not one but two electro surgeons in the hospital that day, so why wait? I have since researched pacemakers and they are becoming very common. If a doctor can put a pacemaker in a patient, he probably won’t wait. Everyone that saw me in the hospital before and after said I was a “unicorn” because of the deathly slow heart rate and no symptoms, so there is that. What I don’t like is how industrialized this all is. Saw two surgeons before the surgery, each about 4 minutes. Only one performed the surgery, but found out, they could both bill my insurance for having seen me in the hospital.

I would put money on that they EXACTLY know why the heart rate was so low. It’s called sick sinus syndrome and u can see it clearly on an EKG- u do not even need an echo. U need a pacemaker. Ur TSH levels could be in the 100’s and it’s not going to give u a HR in the 20’s. U were asymptomatic at the time, but that wouldn’t be the case indefinitely.

The watch doesn't help anyone get healthy. YOU are the one who helps YOU get healthy and it doesn't require any device telling you how many steps you walked or what your heart rate is or if you need water. These are all things you can figure out without anything collecting data on you to report back to insurance companies and gov't agencies. You know if you walked today. You know if you drank water. You can put your finger on your neck and take your pulse. You can buy the right foods today without any watch telling you what your blood sugar levels are. Yes, more power to the people because the people are quite capable (if they want to) of getting healthier without high tech devices strapped to their arms. People figured it out for centuries without them. Besides, wearables create more health problems by their very nature.

I called our private union welfare group that manages our insurance asking for guidance on how I could utilize integrational/functional doctors and they told me they won’t ever cover any medicine or treatment not approved or recommended by the FDA, even if it saves them money in the long run. They explained that it’s the lawsuits that tie their hands, it would bankrupt them and damage the ability to care for the rest of the union members - because if a natural treatment goes awry they could be held liable for covering the treatment; the mere act of covering it signals “safe and effective” or approval of its efficacy. But if an approved prescription drug or treatment plan goes awry, they aren’t liable because they are just following the guidance of the government health services and FDA.

I can’t afford not having some of those expenses covered for a family of four. Basically we are on our own unless of a real life threatening medical emergency or broken bones.

I wear a Garmin watch and love the sleep cycle and keeping track of my walks/steps. It reminds me to move to reach my daily goal. I agree, to each their own, but if it helps people move, it can’t be all bad.

I’m having a hard time with my only wearable, a new FitBit my husband bought me for a Christmas. Previously I had an old one (Fitbit 2) and I relied on its information about my sleep cycles. It started to irritate my wrist by literally causing a burn where the connectors were, and not capturing every night so he got me a new one. But I’ve only worn the new one twice since Christmas because every time I wear it my skin under the sensor gets second degree burns. I’m so upset because I loved having my sleep data but I cannot handle whatever the tech is made out of.

Don't you know how well you sleep without a device telling you?? How did you ever sleep before you wore that thing? If you're tired when you wake up, you didn't sleep well. If you feel good upon awakening, then I'd say you slept fine.

Well it revealed a lot actually. Lack of sleep causes a lot of other health problems that get diagnosed incorrectly - not realizing inadequate sleep was the cause all along. I found that I spent less than 10-20 minutes a night in deep sleep, the stage where healing occurs. I also woke up numerous times a night, unaware that I was. I have a mild sleep apnea but refuse to use their space mask thingamajigger. (Really small neck both in length and circumference so I can shut off my airways easily with just a turn of my head on my pillow.)

I had all the best sleep habits too. Dark room, quiet, extra cold, no devices an hour before bedtime, etc. When I researched how to help my insomnia I discovered lipsomal melatonin. Since using that I now regularly get about 2-3 hours of deep sleep every night and my health is better too, (of course it was simultaneous with my new way of eating (low carb)). So the device did help me understand what was happening.

Thankfully I probably don’t need it anymore having solved everything but my short neck. Lol

So these wearables collect all this data. Besides showing the wearer what is/has been going on, where else does that data go? Who else sees it? I'm sure it's written in the "Terms of Use" policy that everyone reads before using the wearable (i.e. Apple Watch).

Thank you for the link.

Merging humans with machines raises fundamental questions regarding the essence of humanity and being human.

Altering food ingredients and food processing can be consumer and free-market driven. Legislated changes do not really create change. Consumers voting with their wallets drive these changes.

My opinion regarding wearables is a large swathe of modern day humans will find even the wearables cumbersome, awkward, inconvenient (and possibly run contrary to insatiable self-gratification behavior at the expense of better health) and choose to either ignore or discard them.

Sweets will still taste sweet, fried food will still be delicious… no amount of wearables will change a person who lacks sufficient will to make changes and practice self-instilled moderation in all things.

The desire to make lifestyle and dietary habits change begins in the mind, the imagination. The “six inches between one’s ears” is the most difficult territory humans traverse.

When I read point #3 from my 2018 presentation, “Why Is This Legal”, regarding the continued use of thimerosal in vaccines, one phrase comes to mind to describe those who continue to make, approve, recommend, administer, advertise, promote, or mandate vaccines with any amount of thimerosal (or any vaccine, for that matter), “morally bankrupt.”

Below is point #3, cut and pasted for anyone interested to read, and below it is the link for my entire presentation, which includes both video and transcript.

“Why is it legal to inject that which has been banned from topical use? Thimerosal, the mercury-based preservative used in the vast majority of influenza vaccines, in addition to some other vaccines as well, is no longer permitted to be used in over the counter products, such as ointments, creams, and contact solutions. However, it is still permitted to be used in vaccines, which are not topical products, mind you, but which are injected. Let’s take a moment here to review a bit of history regarding the use of mercury in medicine, specifically focusing on the ethyl mercury used in thimerosal. In 1929, the first and only “safety” study of injecting thimerosal into humans was performed on 22 subjects. All subjects died shortly after being injected with thimerosal, 7 within the first day. Granted, the study subjects were ill with meningitis, but that does not negate the fast-acting toxicity of thimerosal. To date, no additional safety study on thimerosal has been required by the FDA, rather, the one from 89 years ago is unbelievably permitted to be cited as proof of the “safety" of injecting thimerosal into humans. In 1948, the late Dr. Frank Engley discovered that thimerosal was toxic down to parts per billion, but his discovery was disregarded and not heeded, despite his multi-year work with the FDA, CDC, CIA, NASA, and NIH. Decades after his discovery about the toxicity of thimerosal at even the ppb level, he would tell parents of thimerosal-injured children, “They say nobody has ever researched thimerosal; I’m nobody.” In his final interview just 2 months before his death in 2008, he said, “Apparently the medical profession does not read the safety data sheets provided by Lilly and other chemical manufacturers made available to physicians, pharmacies, hospitals, and health departments. It states for thimerosal: toxic, mutagen, allergen, hypersensitivity, alters genetic materials, may cause mild to severe mental retardation, may cause mild to severe motor coordination damage, all sounds a lot like autism.” In 1980, an advisory committee to the FDA determined that ethylmercury, which is the kind of mercury used in the thimerosal in vaccines, was unsafe for use in over-the-counter products, such as ointments and creams. How long did it take the FDA to act on that 1980 report? 18 years! It was not until 1998 that thimerosal was banned from use in OTC products, yet, it was not banned from use in vaccines, which are more dangerous as they are injected under the skin, and most often, deep into the muscle tissues. In 2000, the Committee on Government Reform commissioned an investigation into the use of mercury in medicine, which is documented in the Congressional Record. Doctor after doctor testified to Congress over the course of the 3-year investigation as to the severely toxic and neurotoxic effects of mercury, especially the ethyl mercury used in thimerosal, including in minute amounts. These doctors also testified that the effects of mercury are cumulative, that no thimerosal should be permitted to be used in vaccines given to pregnant women, infants, and toddlers, and that there is absolutely no need for its use in vaccines. Congress was told that ethyl compounds penetrate cells better than methyl ones, that mercury uptake in the brain is 5X that of other tissues in the body, and that brain cells die in culture when exposed to ethylmercury. What did Congress do with this damning information about thimerosal being used in vaccines? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Instead, here we are 18 years after the commissioning of the investigation, and more than 74 million American babies later, with pregnant women, which includes their unborn children, infants, toddlers, and children of all ages, still being shot up with ethylmercury. That is reckless, unethical, and criminal. Today we hear from doctors, the media, and legislators that vaccines given to children do not contain mercury. Not true at all. Influenza vaccines are now recommended at 6 months, unbelievably again at 7 months, then 18 months, and 30 months, and every year thereafter. Sanofi Pasteur is the only manufacturer of the “preservative-free, single-dose traditional vials”, which are mercury-free flu vaccines, specifically for those aged 6-35 months, which covers the time period when infants and toddlers are to receive 4 flu vaccines. These “preservative-free” flu vaccines are different than those labeled “thimerosal-free”, as those labeled thimerosal-free are actually permitted to contain 1 mcg or less of mercury, with 1 mcg being 1000 times greater than the level which is permitted to be present in drinking water. According to industry reports for the 2015-2016 flu season, Sanofi Pasteur delivered around 200,000 doses of its preservative-free flu vaccine. In that year alone, based on a reported 70% coverage rate for those in the 6- to 35-month age category, 11.2 million doses would have been required to ensure that American infants and toddlers received only mercury-free flu vaccines. Thus, 11 million American infants and toddlers received flu vaccines containing mercury, despite false assurances to the contrary. CA actually has a law stating that it is illegal to give pregnant women and children under age 3 vaccines containing more than .5 mcg of Hg/.5 ml dose, with an exception for the flu vaccine which is permitted to contain double the amount of mercury (1 mcg/.5 ml dose). Yet, year in and year out, that law is violated, as Governor Jerry Brown continues to sign a waiver stating that the law can be ignored due to “shortages” of the specified vaccines. Clearly, Sanofi Pasteur can do the math just like you and I can. As the only maker of this particular vaccine, why do they choose not to manufacture the needed amount? Instead of signing a waiver every year, why doesn’t the governor of CA put pressure on Sanofi Pasteur to make enough so the CA law can be followed? Pregnant women are not receiving mercury-free flu vaccines, either. They are most often receiving either one with a whopping 25 mcg of mercury, which is 25,000 times that which is permitted in drinking water, or a purported 1 mcg or less of mercury, and neither is safe for mom or baby. Did you know that thimerosal-containing vaccines are legally classified as hazardous materials? As a matter of fact, it is illegal to throw away unused thimerosal-containing vaccines as infectious material or regular trash. Toxic waste management companies advertise that they can be hired to dispose of unused thimerosal-containing vaccines, as they must be treated as hazardous waste. Thus, thimerosal-containing vaccines are hazardous materials before use, and if unused. They are only non-hazardous, apparently, when they have been injected into a human being, who might be in the prime of their neurological development. Does that make sense to you? Why is it legal to inject mercury-laden thimerosal when it is not legal to use it in topical products, when it must be treated as a hazardous material, when it is a known neurotoxin, and when there hasn’t been a human safety study on it since 1929, in which all subjects died in short order?”

What most people miss is that “the science is settled” isn’t a conclusion... it’s a ritual incantation. It’s less about facts and more about soothing a frayed collective nervous system. In a culture that’s lost its elders, its rites, and its mythos, scientific authority becomes the new priesthood. We mock the phrase, but we forget: when nervous system capacity is low, certainty feels like safety. Until we offer people something stronger to stand on, they’ll keep clinging to the chant.

Neither is GRAVITY settled. Per the white coat astrophysics priests, they don’t know what gravity is. They can describe what it does, but they can’t explain what it is, neither have “gravity waves” or “gravitons” ever been seen or detected. Same with “dark energy,” which is the biggest problem in the field of cosmology, one about which Michio Kaku says, "Usually in science, if we're off by a factor of 2 or a factor of 10, we call that horrible. We say, something's wrong with the theory! We're off by a factor of 10! However, in cosmology, we're off by a factor of 10 to the 120th. That is 1 with 120 zeroes after it. This is the largest mismatch between theory and experiment in the history of science."

I had the 'gravity' discussion with my son not so long ago. His physics class did scientific experiments, you see. Once we learn the nuts and bolts of these so-called science experiments, we learn that all they did was show that the equation tends to be more or less accurate as long as we only change certain control variables. Why bother asking about the rates of falling objects with different electrical charges? That's just silly right? Why consider the change in electrical charge as an object is taken away from and gets closer to the ground that is earth? Why check that objects which fall through air at the same acceleration continue to fall through water with equal but reduced acceleration? Why ask why? Why ask why gravity works on some things and not others? Why bother considering what every child knows that gravity can be overcome simply by rubbing a balloon in the hair and sticking it to a wall? Meh. Thinking like that would only lead to crazy inventions like Alternative Propulsion Energy.

He has not hidden who he is, which is: fiercely pro-vaccine, thinks vaccines have saved millions of lives, supports the CDC-recommended vaccine schedule for children, pro-regulatory agencies, and wants to see an increase in vaccine uptake. Additionally, he does not state at every opportunity that he fiercely opposes vaccine mandates, and that a simple “no thank you” should suffice when one wants to decline or refuse any medical treatment or procedure for oneself or one’s children; nor does he state that he supports the full and unfettered restoration of individual and parental rights with regard to healthcare and medical decision making, minus any government interference, coercion, cost, or penalty. Very recently, he called the new guidelines for the Covid injections “good science” and “common sense”, despite the fact that they are neither. Important to listen to what he says.

I tried to warn people about this but got yelled at.

I have never been a fan of this guy. Then again, there are not many I'm a fan of.

So now HHS is pushing “Wearables” ? No thanks! I destroyed my Fitbit a few years ago, when it started tracking my phone calls and texts.

I ditched my fitbit when I realized Google just bought the company. We ditched my husband's continuous glucose monitor when we discovered the filament could break off in your arm with no way to retrieve it. Bonus, his hyperviligance simmered down. Now he checks the old fashioned way a couple of times a week. I actually liked the fitbit, but my lifestyle is none of their business. I tell myself this knowing they already track all my searches.

Joy, I’m guessing you already know this based upon your name, but fear not, “they” have no power at all except that permitted by God. Trust Christ. I’m preaching this to myself also!

Good for you with this sensible approach. My dad had type 2 diabetes and only checked his FBS when he had a doctor’s appointment. He lived to be 92.

Your Dad likely had common sense, wanted to live his life and was too busy providing for his family to get caught up in all this nonsense. Lucky you and that you had him for 92 years.

Wow! I guess I'm glad I destroyed my FitBit just because it brought out the OCD.

It will be a cold day in Hades before I get any device that tells me anything. Not to mention privacy issues, and the implications for social credit scoring types of forced compliance. Didn't get your steps in? You get a surcharge on your insurance. Just like the monitoring devices car insurers are pitching to save on your premiums. I am defensive driver and don't have a lead foot but no way in heck is where when and how I drive anyone's business but my own. People are sheep if they comply with all this monitoring stuff.

I totally agree, but until we ditch these cell phones, we are just placating ourselves with platitudes.

Sigh you are right and I do have one. Although I am not attached to mine, still have a landline that I use at home, and mostly use it as a phone/text messages and for directions when necessary but have everything turned off that I can.

Yes, been talking about that locally - we don't have them yet but understanding it will cost $30/month to opt out. Working on my husband on that one as he is less tinfoil hat than me.

Nearly 20 years ago, the ACLU tried to warn us.

Did they have advanced knowledge of the future?

Take away Planned Parenthood’s federal funding. They are now in the business of gender mutilation, along with abortions. Why should our tax dollars go to murder?

A long list of Congressmen fund all of this through the budget, they are lobbied by the special interests, who get those monies, and it goes here and there and wherever it is wanted. It is washed, rinsed and repurposed. All of these agencies are run by unelected bureaucrats who have even there through several presidents. And that’s why they say, “follow the money”.

Your fact check is beyond not informative and always where they go when they want you to shut up.

In fact PP received 203 million dollars of Federal tax money. PP is wrapped up in Obamacare which our Congress still funds EVERY budget.

And if you believe it receives funding because it gives out vaccines and does not do billions in abortions, there is a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in. If PP wasn’t making money it wouldn’t be in business. Money laundering at it’s finest.

PP does little more than pass out condoms, birth control pills, puberty blockers and murder the unborn.

Again, you either are part of the bs being passed out by PP or hopelessly gullible to any liberal propaganda. Planned Parenthood is a government sanctioned abortion apparatus. The Hyde amendment may prohibit Federal dollars going to abortions but it is going on none the less. It is well documented but is strictly avoided by the msm. Again, if PP wasn’t making billions, it wouldn’t be in business. That’s a fact.

Regarding the wearables...How long do you think it will take for those to be replaced with a micro-chip inserted under the skin that will be mandatory if you want health care, or ANY other service (banking, groceries)? It is just the latest version of the star of David tattooed on the hands of Jews in Germany so that they could not even buy bread!

It appears to me that we are getting closer to the mark of the beast.

Anyone else tired, so tired of warning people about vaccines (ingredients, lack of longitudinal studies, profit motives, known risks and harms, etc) just to be told, “Well, I sure don’t want another polio epidemic”? Like an autism epidemic is somehow better? Like that response is even logical? I’m trying not to get frustrated with friends and family who are so brainwashed they won’t even consider or tolerate vax questions.

And the mocking of any suggestion of side effects from the Covid shot as being misinformation and conspiracy theory 🙄 I see this reaction every time there is a “suddenly and unexpectedly” and someone asks if it could be shot related.

People just don’t question autism as coming from vaccines. How can a parent bring themselves to question what might have caused this life long disability, that you can’t even call a disability. It’s a Catch-22 for so many.

Just watched a video with Brian Hooker and Christian Bogner, MD on CHD- TV. Christian Bogner, MD & Alex Zaharakis both have sons diagnosed with Autism. They believe that vaxxines contributed to their son’s regressions. They have a website- Autism is Biomedical, Inc. and they together are finding ways to improve the lives of those living with ASD.

Just remind them that polio isn’t gone, it was just re-named to Guillain-Barré syndrome to make it seem as their vaccine worked.
