It’s not just the Prep Act that is unconstitutional, it’s the entire Department of Health and Human Services and all its subagencies. The Constitution grants very limited powers to the federal government. Power over human health issues is not among the powers granted to the federal government. Those powers are reserved to the states or the people. Neither well intentions, enacted laws, Supreme Court rulings, nor long standing practice make the unconstitutional legal.

With all due respect, I am really not too excited about the NYT finally doing an article on vaccine injuries. It was a joke of an article and they continue to deny true reality and the responsibility of those they have protected these past four years. The NYT itself has been more than complicit in pushing the so-called "vaccine" on people around the globe. These serpents, like the FDA's Janet Woodcock continue to lie straight to peoples' faces by telling a half-truth and then acting like they're sorry for the very few people who have been negatively impacted by these vaccines, when in fact millions have been maimed and killed and the count is growing by the day. They all have collective blood on their hands. At this point, nearly everyone knows someone who has been hurt or killed by this "vaccine," whether they realize it or not. I just hope the calls for justice get louder because these serpents will try to avoid any kind of accountability or responsibility for their promotion of what I think will end up being the greatest genocide in world history, before it's all said and done. Billions of people were injected with this poison. Every day young people with families are dying unexpectedly. Every day people are being diagnosed with myocarditis, turbo cancer or some other dreadful health condition.

For those who only get their news from the NYT or WaPo, the article at least introduces some new thoughts. Many of them are injured and perhaps they will begin to question. I have hope.

It does create a crack in the cognitive dissonance.

You really have to be a troglodyte to buy the NYT take on the Vaxicide. Tell me again what interest group owns that rag?

Expand full comment

Actually, I’m not sure. It puts the uncomfortable topic of vaccine injuries within the Overton window, which probably reduces cognitive dissonance.

If you see evidence of injuries around you but you’re not supposed to acknowledge it, that creates dissonance. When you read a limited hangout from your most trusted news source, you can reconcile your observations with you ideology and it all makes sense again.

Hoping my cousin will be in that company. A week ago she asked what universe had I been living in, to consider Covid a "hoax". She, vaxxed 5 times.

As long as a person gets all their news from the MSM, it has been totally hopeless to talk to them about the jabs, or anything else that is counter narrative. Their “facts” are the opposite of your “misinformation”. They really do believe they have the truth.

Expand full comment

More and more, it's becoming impossible to talk to them about anything. Views based on MSM content are not just myopic and factually incorrect, but also always focused on the wrong things and coming to the wrong conclusion. Even talking about the weather or sports with MSM-propagandized people has become a chore thanks to the left and the MSM.

Yes, the other day, an FB “friend” posted a meme something about Monsanto and it said you can’t trust MSM, but she is rabidly pro-Covid shots and regular childhood shots. (I repeat, rabid.)

I like hope, but Big Pharma no doubt has therapeutics already in the pipeline for the vax injured. They don’t cause diseases without selling The Cure.

Are sheeple any more likely to get off this not-so-merry-go-round, or will Science forever be their fake savior?

The 1889 comments (now closed) on the NYT website sure seem to suggest that pro-vax, but injured folks, have found their voice. Incredible to see!

"The only connection I can make is my second COVID shot. The leg tingling and pain, and the nonstop menstrual bleeding, all started in the couple days afterwards. It could be a coincidence, and I've been hesitant to ask directly about it because of all the anti-vax bullshit out there. But for the last three years, I've silently thought all this was caused by that vaccine shot."

That comment is so sad- wow

Did they say a word about the mRNA jabs? No. The JNJ is not available anymore the past years and is not an mRNA. I think they disappeared the JNJ so they could get everyone on the mRNA jabs. So, if they aren’t specifically talking about the big daddies of the jabs, they are safe. If you got the JNJ, you had to boost with the mRNA disasters. My hubby refused to do that. We’ve got a ways to go. A long ways.

Kathleen, off topic but my husband is finally going to the Cape Coral ( Florida) VA. He said they didn’t harass him on the jabs. 3 years of paperwork, finally paid off. 22 years army sergeant . When he was still working, they told him he was making too much money to be eligible. Slowly recognizing his service related disabilities.

Expand full comment

How come they didn't give him the option to agree to just paying the copays because his income was too high?

Income would have put him in Priority 8. The co-pays for medical care are decent. I know that at the start of IEF and OEF, Priority 8 was closed for vets without a service-connected condition, but it did reopen later.

Good thing he was recognized for his service-connected medical conditions.

Here is the link for the Priority groups:

Thank you. First I’ve heard of this. Sharing with other vets.

Expand full comment

When income came into play, there was a national income level, but there was also an added geographical level that was applied. So someone in California or New York could have a much higher income level and still qualify for VA care as a Priority 8 veteran.

Thanks!

Sadly, the VA In Gainesville tries to ignore the homeless vets who sneak into the facility to have a warm place to sleep on cold winter nights. I say sadly because although the guards are compassionate, the government chews up its own and spits them out. I have a friend who operated a 7-11. When everyone was falling over themselves to donate to Haiti she was disgusted. She said there were 8 homeless vets living behind her store and no one even cared. Somehow in this country people think virtue signaling will save your soul.

I understand your perspective but I think that Jeff’s idea about them finally being willing to talk about it indicates a change in tactics and moving of the Overton window as he put it. So while you are right, I do think it might have the effect of making some pro vax people start to ask questions. We’ll see I guess.

I read that ... Overton Window. But moving where? Certainly not towards any real hardcore criminal prosecutions. Nope! Just more of the same old paper hanging and obfuscation.

And guess what? They are playing us again ... just like with the C19 terrorism.

Expand full comment

No, more towards the idea that the shots are not really safe like they always claimed.

Expand full comment

Actually, yes, moving from "no injuries at all, nuh-uh" to "ok maybe some injuries" *is* moving "towards" prosecution, since that would be the ultimate destination if things kept moving in that direction. It's just that obviously they don't want the movement to continue in that direction... just enough to "placate the masses", they hope. I don't think it will work out for them, though (see Jeff's lawsuit for case in point).

Expand full comment

I basically agree with you. I especially agree with "just enough to placate the masses". And this would also be just enough to placate and fool even the more intelligent and perceptive end of the spectrum of the masses (including even those who might tend to agree with you and me).

If it won't work for 'them', it's also not likely to work too out well for you and me either. It is more apt to be a more 'liveable' muddle in middle somewhere ... but with Radical Woke thrown out the window as part of the placating. There will be a new Multi-Generational Narrative, a new tune so to speak, but with a softer totalitarian face.

It would take an outright total collapse of the US run West to get any fundamental change, like what happen in Russia once the Soviets collapsed. Even then, don't count on Geo. Washington riding into town on a white horse. There will be no restoration of the American republics because the masses are too dumb for that, let alone the ruling class elites as well.

For now, all the Apex Money wants to do is reassert control and power, bring things back to an orderly process and restructure the broken monetary system into something which will game the ruled populations for another hundred or two years. In all of this we are just pawns in a shuffle board game.

Maybe C19 health terrorism will be investigated and to some degree prosecuted. But not by much more than 911 which is to say, closer to nil.

Expand full comment

Jeff nailed my suspicions. It’s just an attempt to hurt President Trump.

Expand full comment

This. They spent years shaming him and demonizing him as the "cause" of all the "covid" deaths - even after he had left office - b/c he fought against masks, lockdowns, and the manufactured hysteria. "He didn't do enough!!" screamed all the media outlets, including many conservative ones. People I work with: "if only Trump had mandated the vaccines, it would have been over way sooner." For years they called him an actual murderer, and put a death toll ticker on everyone's screens, blaming him for every "covid" death b/c he "didn't do enough."

Now, without irony, they are trying to say he's the cause of the vaccine injuries too. The vaccines they demanded to cure the hysteria they created. And, not coincidentally, a project he delegated to Mike Pence.

(FWIW, that's also what I think the meeting with Mike Johnson was about - tying Trump to the Ukraine war, too. They are trying to tie him to their failures, realizing he's about to win re-election. We shall see.)

Expand full comment

Exactly. The NYT article is a way of laying the groundwork to accuse DJT of causing all the injuries. It’s all about the election, sadly.

Expand full comment

Yes it is to hurt Trump. However, it also serves the likely unintentional purpose of opening the Overton Window. The process of bringing the Vax injured people to mainstream awareness, is as slow as the death of a thousand cuts. Drip, drip, drip….

Expand full comment

Exactly. To hurt DJT. Many of us were saying years ago that when it is politically advantageous…because Trump STILL brags about him pushing them through and what a gift to humanity those shots were….they will hang him with it. I disagree with Jeff’s take that it was better for Trump to stay steadfast in his support (which I re-read because that doesn’t make sense to me) of the poison shots. By doing so he set them up to blame him for it all. He was in charge. He got through the red tape. He pushed them as being great. While he didn’t or wouldn’t have mandated them makes no difference now. And that he didn’t backtrack may come back to bite him politically.

I think a lot was happening behind scene so my hope is Trump has something in his back pocket that clears him of this when shit hits the fan. The parts he’s been silent about. But it may be a bit too hopeful too.

Expand full comment

I think Jeff was saying as a sort silver lining to Trump's intransigence, at least a political attack on OWS has the beneficial effect of allowing a bit of vax truth to sep out in mainstream media. Overall, it would be better for the country and for Trump politically if he had mea culpa'd on the jabs long ago.i

If jab injuries hurt him in the election, he deserves everything he gets. Total self-own.

Admitting a mistake. Wow. What a concept!

But, if we go back in time, recall Nancy Pelosi congratulated Trump on the vaccine as “one thing he did right”. All the democrats were celebrating his Operation Warp Speed. Start replaying THOSE clips.

Well said. How many of us fear that one of our own family members especially one of our children might be next?

I call BS on her and her faux sympathy. Give me a freaking break. Round up her, Fauci and the rest of those despicable, deplorable people involved in this mass genocide and vaccinate them everyday for the rest of their lives with the real crap (bio-weapons) they gave to the rest of the world so they can experience for themselves the physical, mental and emotional pain every one of their victims went through.

My sympathies for your Dad. My mom died last month--was it a stoke that caused a fall, or a fall that caused a brain bleed? We will never know. But she had had 5 jabs. Never had high blood pressure or balance probs before them, I know that much. It is very hard for me to find any positivity in the NYT article. I am bitter, so bitter about this. Too little, far too late, and the SYMPATHY those profiled get from the NYT NEO NAZI reporters and readers who only 4 years ago wanted those of us unjabbed to not be able to go to the hospital if we needed, not be able to go into stores, not attend school, and not work for eff's sake?....oh no.

I mean, I gave a up a good job, for my principles. The decision itself was for me, a no-brainer, but its consequences? I am still struggling.

Sincere condolences about your mom. We're just waiting for the same fate with my MIL. She was relatively healthy for 90+ prior to being coerced by fear (and my SIL) to get vaxed, no meds except OTC motrin for annoying but minor/moderate shoulder pain. Her first jab caused both feet to swell up like loaves of bread and turn black/purple (it was SHOCKING!), severe back and shoulder pain and multiple heart issues and gastro issues. They even mentioned amputation of her feet if the blood thinners didn't work! The doc still recommended the 2nd jab! which caused the same reactions! She finally got tired of the many doc and specialist appts and "bafflement" and said she's just "ready to go" and continues to take all sorts of expensive rx meds. Not surprisingly, she has severe neuropathy in her legs and feet, too, so she just watches TV all day, consuming all the propaganda. We believe the neuropathy will lead to a fatal or at least catastrophic fall. When she does pass, it will no doubt be due to "old age" -which will be true, too, but man, has she paid for this, financially and with the physical and mental suffering. Other jabbed family members are suffering with their adverse reactions but pass them off as "just getting older". Forgotten (by them) are our warnings about these possibilities AND them literally shunning and shaming of us at family gatherings and publically on FB because we were "anti-vaxxers". It's all so infuriating! And it's the worst "I told you so" (which we never bring up) ever.

This is the horrific genius of the jabs--that so much of their effects can be written off to age, or menopause, or environmental factors. I agree--it is infuriating. And when I sit still long enough, deeply saddening.

In the summer of 2020, the NYT ran a story about Regeneron and the monoclonal antibodies. I wish I had printed it because it was scrubbed from the internet. The vaccine push had not started yet but once that took hold, the obedient media reported on nothing else.

Monoclonal antibodies were allowed some attention, because they're expensive, so fit into the transfer of wealth from us to pharma. Unlike cheap generics like IVM and hydroxychloroquine. But not too much, since any treatment worked against the vaccine push. Except remdesivir and paxlovid, strangely.

Wow. That’s Roy Vagelos’s potential heroism screwed twice!

“In the mid-1980s, Merck & Co. discovered the drug ivermectin, capable of combatting the parasite that causes river blindness. At the time, the World Health Organization and the World Bank were conducting a campaign against the vector-borne disease in West Africa, and ivermectin was the most important drug in their arsenal. But the newly discovered drug was too expensive for those patients or their governments. Vagelos "wanted to see the drug widely used," so he influenced Merck & Co. to "make needed quantities of the drug available to these governments and patients, at no cost to them, for the treatment of onchocerciasis.” Over two decades, beginning in 1986, the drug reached more than 55 million people. The public health campaign was successful, and now river blindness is no longer a major public health issue in the savannah areas of West Africa.[11]”
