I appreciate your humor. I often can’t bear to read the malicious insanity that pretends to be objective news; but the courage and satire of your essays really brings light and buoyancy to what otherwise is crushing. Thank you!

I think we need to assign Fauci and Schiff to be the Alpha test group for any and ALL new vaccine trials. Obviously Fauci would be the control group against misinterpretation of big-headed syndrome as coming from the vax itself. And clearly there is no control group to weed out whether the vax causes compulsive lying.

This plan is 100% beagle approved.

David Nelson's avatar

Haven't seen that one, but my CDO (OCD in the correct order) will arrange for me to find and watch it too. A notable thing about local productions of G&S operettas, and of The Mikado especially, is that there's typically at least one place to grandiosely "sneak" in references to local persons or events.

At one point in Mikado, The Lord High Executioner is explaining ("I Have a Little List") that he keeps a list of people he will enjoy executing when he gets around to it. The list includes individuals who insist on loudly correcting grammar or pronunciation, and people who constantly talk about themselves. In one production, I heard added "people who fail to silence their cellphones during operas."

G&S productions are Big Fun. They served a Jenna-McCarthy-like function in their day, degassing gasbags that seemed to be everywhere.

These so called safe vaccines - has anybody looked at the ingredients? There are ingredients that cross the blood brain barrier and cause brain inflammation - autism and the like can result. Babies are given 4-6 vaccines at 4 months & 6 months - what is the rush to give so many in 1 day at such an early age? My understanding is that children in Russia are not given vaccines until after the age of 2. In the U.S., the CDC schedule is 24 by the age of 12 months.

Because many "pediatricians" make somewhere close to 50% of their practices income from injecting innocent children with no care of what harm they are doing. Plus bonuses and kickbacks from pharma. They are not caring people. Just robots there to make money. It is so sad what "medicine" is today, The babies need nothing but Love, Mothers milk and allowed to grow naturally.

I'm still in absolute shock that RFK made it out of committee much less now being the head of HHS.

I hate to even think this, but might it be possible, somewhere deeeep in crevasse these political bodies, maybe in what's left of their souls, believed there was something to what he was saying?

Sorry, still amazed RFK somehow made it through the slime and deceit to come out victorious.

I’m a skeptic who thinks RFK Jr got the nod for HHS but had to take the creepy Means woman as a Surgeon General. Gimme a break,! She is from a wealthy family and is pushing wearable spy gear ( made by HER company, by the way) The Means siblings came out of nowhere and flew to the top…..reminds me of OBama.

It’s always a most interesting mystery how people of integrity and selfless service occasionally make it into positions of power.

And then there are the good hearted, loving doctors—I personally know 4 such souls—who truly believe vaccines are good for people, and give vaccines to their own children and parents. I know for certain that for these four doctors it’s not money, but indoctrination moving them. And I’d bet there are many more like them…in addition to those possessed by greed and power. But like you said…there’s a roboticization of the mind in all these cases: an inability to think independently and outside the box, to think new thoughts that uncomfortably dismantle our previous understandings.

SteveO's avatar

I agree with you. There are some. My brother in-law is a family practitioner and is not informed of the dangers of any of the "vaccines" he has taken and has given all of them to his family. Even Gardasil to his two daughters. He is an intelligent man but will not admit that medicine is what it should be. He is also greedy and goes for the money. There is no reason that Drs. should not know and understand about the hazards of modern medicine. They obviously were never trained on it. He is an OD not MD and was taught the practice of chiropractic medicine so you would think that he would have a better chance at understanding the medical field better. But he doesn't. He did not shame my wife and I though when we did not take the jabs nor did my family avoid us. But all of them were the ones getting Covid always not my wife and I. Hmmmm.

I used to give most of my veterinary colleagues a pass when I first learned of how harmful vaccines were to pets. But, as the years wore on, and the handwriting was on so many walls, I no longer see them as innocent players trying to do the best for their patients. Vaccination is the lowest cost procedure and the fastest to perform and many clinics depend on it for their bottom line. Those who refuse service to people who are “out of date“ on vaccines are the most egregious of the bunch.

Copernicus's avatar

The stated "rush" to give them is that young babies are more susceptible to the severe consequences of the infections. Thus, waiting to give the vaccines leaves them at greater risk for a longer period of time.

And of course, since the vaccines are so safe, there's no reason to wait. (Their words, not mine.)

Insurance companies have all the data. They just can’t seem to find it when it’s asked for.

Simple solution:

1-Have HHS contact a few medical insurance company CEOs.

2-Have HHS start off conversation with “nice little insurance business you have here”

3- CEO response: “thank you”.

4- Next have HHS request ALL wellness visit data of two groups (jabby-jabbed and no jabby-jabbed).

5: CEO response: “I’m not sure we have that data”.

6- HHS response: “sure would hate to have IRS and Medicare billing auditors in your offices for say………the next two years pulling down data on all your billings for services supposedly provided.”

7- CEO response: Well have that data requested to you by COB next Friday.

8- HHS response: “ thank you CEO. If we don’t have it by COB next Friday, please be ready for a few guest government visitors the following Monday. No need to remind you that IRS employees carry “heat”.

With pleasure. When one reaches two years old then one’s body is strong enough to cope better with being poisoned by a vaccine. As much of the necessary childhood development has occurred by then, the risks of damage are that much less. Body mass is greater too.

However, vaccines are still toxic and do nothing for future health. The only benefit is for big pharma wealth.

Take heart. A different approach may be afoot. As some pundits see it, the approach to taking down the worst offenders may be calculated to convince even the slowest of up-takers of corruption. Firstly, get them to lie under oath in an environment where they feel no need for the Fifth Amendment, but then, later declassify the documents proving their misdeeds, their conspiracy to hide them, and the obviousness of their perjuries.

I say 'may.'

You bring out the short attention spans of the media and critics on both sides of every argument. RFK Jr. has to operate over a much longer time span than these people can comprehend. They have fallen into the Hollywood trap, a movie that beats the enemy permanently in 1 1/2 hrs never to return. These individuals are devoid of the realities of life where real issues that require solving are people issues that recur many times over one's lifetime because there are new psychopathic individuals born everyday. The truth of humanity does not make those who are inherently fearful feel safe and want permanent overnight solutions. There is no cure for short-termism perception but a connection to reality. We will forever have to deal with this group of individual critics.

I see it as you do; but if I’m honest, in the deepest recess of my soul, I too crave for “rest”, for the fight to be over. It’s tricky, because this “short-termism” (I love your phrase) is based on a Truth, our inborn longing for the Promised Land or Enlightened, etc. But it becomes a temptation or downright harm when we want it NOW. The Journey is long and arduous, and it’s easy to feel like Sisyphus. What helps me is to honor and love ALL the wins —big and small— that have made the world more humane; and to “Rest” on those wins , as we continue the fight. Child labor is not yet gone, but it’s at least illegal! We’re fighting (and resting) on the giant shoulders of those who’ve fought before us! A deeper perspective of the journey might be a medicine for short-termism?

Awhile back it was reported that the hit squads of the Big Pharma cartel had a meeting and set up a plan to "get' RFK.
