Jenna as always you have the perfect way of summarizing things. You're like my main news source these days 🤣 The way people run things through ChatGPT for summaries, you're like my funny ChatGPT for the news. You chew it up and spit it out in a palatable way.

(But...wearables 😲 I cannot hear anything else about MAHA or RFK now without thinking about him praising them the other day - what the what. Are you going to write about him praising them? I was waiting for your deconstruction of that particular CONFUSION.)

WTF with the enthusiastic endorsement of the sicko surveillance wearables?! RFK Jr is either cracking up or he is playing some Cracker Jack job of mind numbing games to confuse absolutely everyone.

It will be the coldest day in Hell before I adopt anything wearable. BTW, my big beautiful brain is exploding 🤯

So, we don’t know the game or the rules- that’s a given. So, do we sit back and watch them play?! Because I am tired, fed up and impatient at this point.

Y’all need to be following Sasha Latypova, Dr Naomi Wolf, Dr Mary Bowden, and Shannon Joy! They sent RFK Jr an Open Letter ( which I signed) and have requested an interview with RFK Jr to address the open letter and questions.

May God please make this happen. These ladies rock and I am 1000% behind their tireless efforts to unearth the damn truth.

As long as they're not eventually somehow mandated to ensure insurance coverage or some such BS.

If you give them an inch, they will take a mile. That's how this works.

It's just two weeks, it's just a mask, it's just six feet, it's just a vaccine, it's just for essential workers, it's just for high risk, it's just for everyone, including kids, babies, and pregnant women, it's just a wearable, it's just a filament that goes under your skin...

Re:wearables. I am anti myself, but I understand the (faulty) reasoning and am not adverse to anyone who chooses to wear one. RFK JR said nothing about FORCING people to wear them.

This should be no different than anything else. Here is what they can do for you, assuming you are not capable of doing those things for yourself or want something to do it for you, here are the down sides. Make your choice. As long as I'm not forced, I'm smart enough to decide for myself.

But there should be studies on if the emf is detrimental or it having one cause carpal tunnel in the wrist one is being worn on or whatever. I can tell you holding a phone and scrolling causes me shoulder and wrist pain, so I avoid that.

I have friends for whom a certain wearable is a life saver. I would not deny them that.

I hear that. I'm not saying he should denounce them or try to take them off the market. It just completely flies in the face of what he says about the dangers of 5G/EMF, so it's hard to swallow. Agreed the effects need to be looked into.

Thank you. Interesting that this article doesn't really bring up the possible issues that being NEAR a multitude of people with these wearables might bring, or what if someone has multiple?

JennaGPT! I would absolutely use an AI version for both work and life.

For those of us that have been "anti-vax" for a while now, thimerosal was supposedly supposed to be removed for children under 6 over 20 years ago because there was obviously evidence of harm. To pretend like this is shocking new evidence is silly.

So... did anyone actually watch the ACIP meeting? I did and it was excruciating. Lots of BS studies touted off by so-called experts about how dangerous covid still is, how safe and effective the clot shots are, and how there hasn't been any evidence of death or harms outside of the "rare" heart damage. Give me a flipping break! After all the evidence of harm, the experts are still recommending these shots with very minimal push back from the new ACIP members.

So Jenna.... what about those wearables? The writing is beyond the walls. It's all over our faces now. 🤓

"You can disagree with the answers. But pretending the questions are dangerous? That’s not science, it’s religion." Yes!

I've been writing about this topic for 35+ years. Here is an excerpt of a letter to the editor of a local newspaper I wrote in 2005 - they refused to publish it for a year because they said it could cause an epidemic of disease...

'Republican Senator, Dan Burton of Indiana watched as his grandson become autistic just days after receiving 9 (nine) inoculations at the same doctor visit. Five years ago [Y2K], he convened congressional hearings into the link between mercury, childhood vaccination policies & protocols, and skyrocketing rates of autism. Governmental health officials visibly squirmed as he asked them about thimersiol (mercury) in vaccines. “You mean to tell me,” said Burton, visibly upset, “that we have been using mercury in vaccines since 1929 and the only study done was in 1929, and every one of those people got meningitis and died?” '

One of my heroes, Dr Hugh Fudenberg, was an MD/Ph.D (immunogeneticist) with his name on over 900 peer-reviewed studies. Look at what happened to him after he tackled the relationship between mercury/aluminum and.....

Why do we continue to get shocked by MSM's responses? They are evil. They are corrupt. They are complicit. They are the mouthpiece of Big Pharma. I am so tired of this nonsense. When will the American people finally wake up and realize what's being done them? I feel like I can't go on being outraged. We've all tried to explain the reality of the situation. We can't seem to get our voices heard over the noise created by MSM. My level of feeling discouraged has never been greater. Despite everything that Kennedy has accomplished, this was the outcome of this meeting. I'm sorry to say, it wasn't good enough for me. I'm tired of being patient.

Life has become great entertainment (and I love how you add to the entertainment factor Jenna).

How dare we question established profits!!!!

Looking up thimerosal: "Developed in 1927, thimerosal has been and is still being used as a preservative in some cosmetics, topical pharmaceuticals, and biological drug products, which includes vaccines. There has been significant concern regarding its safety and toxicity in the last several decades. Although thimerosal is banned in several countries, it continues to be included as a preservative in some vaccines in the United States and many vaccines in the developing world."

I feel hopeful now that this stuff is being addressed. It's gotten so I'm almost immune to the MSM's portrayal of things. Thank goodness for X. But also, I'm hearing that many medical freedom and health advocates messaging is no longer being shut down or banned so the word is getting out there. Requiring a flu shot has been an obstacle to volunteering at hospitals. And there's a "special" one for people over 65 - who knows what else they've put in that one! Let freedom ring!

Thank you for making it funny so that I can calm down about what the left is saying about RFK Jr.. Sheesh.

Saw a photo on substack yesterday of a guy wearing a sign "Deport Liberal White Women" So true -- they will be able to keep poisoning themselves if they want to, nobody is taking that choice away from them. But they are so worried about all the people who will choose not to poison!

(Just made the mistake of peeking in at the FB account of a liberal white woman friend. Ugh. Saying bad things about RFK Jr. Only Jenna could bring me back to equilibrium.) Update: just texted with this friend and she and her husband are both super sick. They think it's covid but both tested negative but they feel horrible. They've had SO many shots.

Excellent Jenna! Another reader posted the comment I was going to make on your line about its "not science, it's religion." So I will just add that that is the big beautiful nailhead that you hit in this post. It could be the point of almost every single one of your posts - the Science-Deniers (masquerading as scientists) actually do have a religion (which has nothing to do with the existence of a holy, almighty Creator-Being) for which they see themselves as devoted apostles. Never forget this! They are as devoted as the Islamists who celebrate blowing themselves and/or their children up for the sake of their cause.
