This is ridiculous... There was a team of doctors (including Dr Byram Bridle) who recommended Canada not approve the AZ vaxx due to platelets binding back in January, who were ignored and the vaxx was approved until too many people started having blood clots. It's almost a year later and this is a discovery?

Why can't he say the real deal now about the vaccines? I don't get why Trump has to be pro-vaxx now when he said vaccines cause autism (which is probably true) in his original GOP run.

Their argument is that the unvaxxed are responsible for more transmissions, and therefore simply with the quantity of transmissions there are more chances for it to mutate. However, you have to be pretty stupid to believe the vaccine significantly reduces transmissions when you see high vaxx countries like Norway and Denmark having their highest case counts to date. And it's funny when you look back at narratives like this: Falling COVID-19 cases in Denmark, Norway attributed to vaccines | AP News APNEWS.COM CLAIM: COVID-19 cases plummeted by 40 percent in Denmark and Norway after they removed restrictions implemented during the... Plus the selective pressure you mentioned, it's almost certain the vaccines helped create this new mutation of the spike.

Good read.

I agree with most of what you said except the blamestorm. Some pretty unimaginable stuff has come out of the establishment so far, but doing a 180 on the vaccines at this point would be completely impossible... How could they blame Trump for all the "science" that has supported the safety and efficacy of the vaccines?? Maybe they could blame him for rushing the development, but everything that's come after that they've owned absolutely.

Cardiologist Who Said He 'Wont Cry' For Dead Unvaccinated People Dies In His Sleep After COVID Booster REPUBLICANWIRE.ORG A cardiologist who said he "won't cry" for dead unvaccinated people died in his sleep shortly after getting the new COVID booster shot.

I don't see how this narrative fits with Trump telling his whole fan-base to get the vaccine, and that "it's good."

Remember, don't take medical advice from anyone but a doctor, unless it's a TV personality, radio host, politician, celebrity, stranger on the street, or really anyone that tells you to get the vaccine... and any doctor that disagrees is a quack. And now for the objective News:

The simplest way (imo) to explain this to non-thinking people: 1. The vaccine, by ALL accounts, does not confer protection to the respiratory system. 2. The virus, by ALL accounts, spreads through aerosols. Here's one for masks: 1. Day one of people wearing masks: "It fogs up my glasses!" 2. Do we need a '2'?

The terms narrative and story have always bothered me. Conceptually, they weren't pure enough in my mind to do anything with. However I think I understand how they are being used now... I remember reading something about how humans love to theorize, and I never forgot that because it was plainly true. This is basically what stories, or narratives are. They are theories, or more accurately they are explanations. We have an impulse to explain things, even before we know they are true. Then once we have the explanation, we have the beginning of a structure built on top of a mystery. The more we build, the less likely we become to analyze the foundation. I will watch the videos soon.

I believe the reason they are so focused on ostracizing those who dissent is almost a form of projection: The narrative itself doesn't matter, it's the idea of everyone uniting. It's like they take offence that some people don't want to join the group, and so they think the most appropriate punishment is total isolation. The beliefs/details are irrelevant, it's the feeling that they are attached to. They are looking (desperate) for connection, and some people's words/actions are trivializing what they feel they need.

I found this video with this man, Dr. Mattias Desmet. He speaks about a social phenomenon the two of them call mass formation, which is when people unite on a massive scale. This is what is happening today, and in the video is a discussion of why/how it happens. People are most likely lonelier than they have ever been, though it's impossible to measure. This is really the perfect condition for mass formation, and one example of that is the COVID-19/prevention and vaccine narrative that has been embraced by a large segment of the population. People are lonely, and through a common narrative they feel connected. Here's the video:

The focus on the spike protein misses the real issue, which is that the lipid nanoparticles carrying the mRNA do not stay in the injection site. 50-75% of the vaccine circulates in the bloodstream and seeds different tissues including that in the heart, brain, and kidneys... This is why the type of reactions are so varied, and the auto-immune responses are unbelievable to a lot of people who assume that the reactions should have some uniformity to them since everyone is taking the same vaccine.

This is something about the noise I had not articulated but was somewhere in the back of my mind. This is probably the biggest issue... It's not just one side can demoralize the other without any acknowledgement of what they're doing, or their hypocrisy. It's not just that uneducated opinions are allowed, and even amplified on one side of the discourse, while they are being shut down on the other side for the express reason of the source being uneducated. It's that experts on the wrong side of the discourse are getting taken to task regularly by uneducated idiots. They don't just have to deal with distractions in making their point to other experts, they are being forced to argue with people who can't even comprehend what they are saying with their professional reputation on the line. There is never a debate between equals, exploring the reality of the problem, because one side has an army of minions to occupy their opponents' time. Dr. Byram Bridle, for example, had a website dedicated to smearing him under a domain with his name--it was the top Google result for the several months that it existed. He was then forced to address some web-designers uninformed criticisms of his statements... This imbalance has to overflow into the arena of expert discussion as well, because of the sense of security that comes with taking the popular stance, or the insecurity that comes with taking the unpopular one. This has to be the biggest issue right now, when it comes to these esoteric problems the public is being told to care about without any knowledge or reference points what-so-ever.

Farmers, tradespeople, anyone who can produce/maintain necessities... these people are going to be the key to this international power game. They say 80% of production is done by 20% of the population (the 80-20 rule). I'd be willing to bet that the average politics of the 20% are not an accurate reflection of the other 80%'s. In a democracy it's one man-one vote. But the polls are not the only place people can influence national policy. These thoughts are coming after a few weeks of observing a social media group in my area for non-discriminating businesses. The question I had was, which businesses/people are a significant loss to the other side? People selling home-made jewellery, in-home chef services, offering business consultations... these things are better than nothing, but they're really the types of jobs created to spread money out from the people doing the serious work. Going forward, aside from being less politically passive, establishing real social leverage should be the focus of people cooperatively advancing rational values--finding ways to make the economy more grounded, not in a Dictatorship of the Proletariat way, but in a leaders should be chosen by people who can actually do stuff kinda way.

I have been thinking about this lately: how intelligent people can make these 'lazy and stupid' claims/arguments. Brainwashing does not discriminate based on intelligence; it is an emotional thing. It is very apparent right now that just because a person is intelligent does not mean they have any more ability to see through bullshit when there are animal/human forces pulling them in one direction or another. I was wondering how could it be measured, the effect of noise on the discourse--the fact that the media is so biased, and the result, that a large segment of the public believe the same narrative. Someone having received a degree from a top school does not make them immune to public opinion (although someone having observable accomplishments in their field likely helps a great deal). In fact school seems to only encourage one to derive their self-worth from external validation. And one thing about the noise that I find interesting: You hear the argument over and over again, that people should be getting their information from experts, trusting their doctors, etc. Nikki Minaj said people should be able to make their own medical decisions, and the response was a chorus of, "People should not get their medical advice from Nikki Minaj." So when it comes to the noise, the argument is that only the educated should have a voice... unless you are on the right side of the discourse. Because nobody is silencing the noise on the other side. If the debate is between experts on either side, then one side clearly has the home field advantage. That's what it seems like to me--the public have become the fans trying to distract the basket player at the free-throw line. It's amazing what an effect it has.

This isn't about the deep state, but rather the cathedral. Bari Weiss calling out CNN here is beautiful.

Michael, Do you have any different information than the mainstream narrative about what happened/is happening in Brazil?

I'd heard that vaccine deaths are being erased because if you die within 14 days of getting the 2nd dose, you are considered unvaccinated... If that is the reason that Taiwan is recording more deaths, then, wow...

Ten red flags in the FDA's risk-benefit analysis of Pfizer's EUA application to inject American children 5 to 11 with its mRNA product - by Toby Rogers - uTobian TOBYROGERS.SUBSTACK.COM The FDA briefing document is preposterous junk science and it must be withdrawn immediately

This is obviously not the same board that voted 16-2 against the boosters?

I think it was a health official from Australia who recently said that COVID vaccines will be a permanent thing and people will just have to get used to continual boosters. But yeah, that video is disturbing. Aside from the totalitarian tone, this whole "keep the vaccinated safe from the unvaccinated" line of reasoning is so egregious, and shocking to hear from world leaders. How is that any more intelligent than what Flat-Earthers believe?

I think there's a lot more evidence that it, in fact, boils down to femininity vs masculinity. There are essentially two sides of the ideological conflict. Two sexes. You can trace sharp increases in government spending by region based on when women were granted the right to vote in that region. You can also see the feminization of men all over the West, and a general aversion to responsibility. You can also see parallels between the current governments and the archetypal overbearing mother (unrestrained feminine instinct), vs past governments and more patriarchal relationships to their citizens.

Once they are fatter than the government at least competent people will be in charge.

Well that's horrifying...
