As expected, the usual attention/relevance seekers are adding their unsolicited voices to the conversation over the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson by our latest social media-anointed accused hero Luigi Mangione.

Politicians and media pundits just have to ingratiate us with their informed opinions that almost always start of with “Murder is bad, BUT….” and then go on to find twisted ways to justify a murder of someone who may do something they don’t like. Even while, in this case, the murder victim had zero to do with whatever the accused issues are/were.

Over the years, circumstances brought me to opine on several instances I titled “When Bad Things Happen To….” We’re usually talking about those who arrogantly refer to Americans as “average” or “ordinary people” because we all know they consider themselves so more extraordinary than us.

When people commit crime, the media gleefully splashes the accused’ face all over their broadcasts. Yet when a media person is busted, we’re told we must forgive and eventually forget it ever happened so that person can continue to make a living.

If anyone attacked a prompter-reader for their hypocrisy, media collective would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, BUT….

When our politicians target a certain segment of the population, they demand the “letter of the law” be upheld. When they screw up, they demand we forgive them and eventually forget it ever happened so they can raise money for their reelection.

If anyone attacked a politician for an offence (and we’re talking sexual indiscretions to bribery), all politicians would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, BUT….

When Obamacare was passed, every American was seemingly forced into acquiring government-run healthcare that imposed much higher premiums and deductibles. Every business that employed more than 50 people were required to cover their employees. Let’s not forget, Capitol Hill politicians found a way to exempt themselves by saying each office was a business that employed less than 50 people and, lo and behold, an exclusive health care program was created just for them that was far cheaper and had better coverage than the “Affordable Care Act” scam that was mandatory for everyone else.

If anyone attacked a politician for the harsh health care increase and resulting financial hardship, all politicians would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, BUT….

When the COVID-19 pandemic initially hit, politicians nationwide shut down their states and millions of Americans essentially lost their means of income.

However, one of the first thing politicians on Capitol Hill did was pass the “Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act” that essentially assured no federal employee would miss a paycheck and, coincidently, that law was seemingly replicated in state houses nationwide so most public servants would be paid uninterrupted.

We all know how some shutdown governors (most of whom never missed receiving a taxpayer-funded paycheck) blew off the very mandates they imposed on their populations and arrogantly found reasons to justify and flaunt their privilege.

If anyone attacked a governor for the loss of a business or job and all the negative fallout that comes with sudden unemployment, all politicians would be outraged if it was said that attack was bad, BUT….

We’ve been beat over the head about the only real instance of violence at a conservative rally, “January 6th” by Democrats and their media. We’ve seen the pictures of Capitol Hill politicians cowering-in-place at the horror mass violence brings.

However these are the same politicians who, in some cases, justified and excused the mass liberal Democrat mayhem that held the nation hostage during the Summer of 2020 where mostly black businesses were burned and looted, public and private businesses were vandalized, too many people were injured or killed and police officers all over the country were wounded and/or assassinated.

The horror experienced by Americans was “mostly peaceful” and not the best optics, BUT….

Thanks to the American people, President-Elect Donald J. Trump’s reelection has reduced the Democrat Party and their fake news media accomplices into a temporary state of irrelevance, thus the musings of Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Governor Chris Murphy, Michael Moore and many others on social media have been met with the appropriate outrage.

“Violence is never the answer, BUT people can be pushed only so far,” Warren told HuffPost.

This mental illness is nothing new to Democrats; from the civil war they waged to keep slaves to the mass murder of innocent babies in the womb. Their adherence to the “by any means necessary” mindset gives them license to impose whatever violence they deem appropriate. That is, until it happens to them and in most cases, by them.

Then violence is never the answer.

No ands, ifs, or BUTs….

There has been a full-on media blackout of the new study outlining the ineffectiveness of lockdowns to prevent COVID deaths.

Johns Hopkins University economics professor Steve Hanke, Lund University economics professor Lars Jonung, and special advisor at Copenhagen’s Center for Political Studies Jonas Herby – analyzed the effects of lockdown measures such as school shutdowns, business closures, and mask mandates on COVID-19 deaths. “We find little to no evidence that mandated lockdowns in Europe and the United States had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality rates,” the researchers wrote.

The researchers also examined shelter-in-place orders, finding that they reduced COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%.
— Fox News, 2/4/22

It took a little while but when the relevance-starved attention-seekers continue to get the face time they crave, they eventually say too much and spill the beans. So, what were the lockdowns REALLY all about…?

The next appropriate questions would be, just who gave Fauci and other so-called health officials the right to recommend and implement lockdowns that killed thousands of small businesses nationwide, put millions of Americans out of work, and stunted the academic growth of children when it was really all about those who may have financial interests in a vaccine that didn’t work, thus requiring subsequent ineffective boosters whose only real purpose is to line the pockets of pharmaceuticals?

These arrogant taxpayer-funded employees believed they could use force to make the “naive” take an experimental drug where no side effects were disclosed (because it’s physically too early to know what they are), and also employed a blackmail tactic making Americans have to choose between employment and risking their permanent health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health and their media are doing everything possible to ignore the numerous stories of the previously healthy dropping dead shortly after taking the vaccine or booster and now the majority of those in hospitals from COVID-19 being the fully vaccinated.

Fauci’s cavalier admission should be a meme used so often that he can’t show his face in public without answering some very pertinent questions.

Without the shield of anonymity provided many of the phony brave on social media, Croatian Member of the European Parliament Mislav Kolakušić came right out and said to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s face what many in and around Ottawa would be punished for.

MEP Kolakušić has probably become the latest permanent member of that “Your money’s no good here” club in every restaurant and bar in Canada.

Not to mention for anything delivered by truck….

Meanwhile, the has-been quest for relevance continues unabated.

Joni Mitchell announced Friday that she will join her friend Neil Young in pulling her music off of Spotify.

Mitchell, 78, said in a statement posted to her website, “I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.”
— Los Angeles Times, 1/28/22

With the political tantrums being led by has-beens like Neil Young and now Joni Mitchell, depriving the public of hearing their music on Spotify, we’re being made to believe this is a moral sacrifice that will also deprive millions of music lovers of their important contributions.

For some unknown reason, several outlets are reporting a strong spike in internet searches for “Who is Neil Young?” With little information about this unknown character available, and with all memory of the man’s existence having been erased from America’s collective memory for decades, many are still being left guessing.
— Babylon Bee, 1/27/22

Let’s be real when it comes to platforms like Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, etc. They are just websites. Like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube and the rest, they are solely dependent on the content provided by users. Without content providers, they are just empty servers. The music streaming companies make their money off monthly subscriptions (NOT per unit sales) so like the record companies of old, those running them offer artists the lure of fame, exposure, and compensating peanuts in return.

While offering podcaster Joe Rogan $100 million because he brings in coveted demographic subscribers, artists like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell really won’t be missed which is why Spotify is more than willing to say sayonara to musicians most of today’s consumers don’t know exist.

Spotify, depending on where you look, has between 150-190 million subscribers and at roughly $130 annually per, that’s some serious income to stream music and blabbermouth content they didn’t create.

So, how much will this principled oldhead musician revolt cost?

Spotify complied with the request, which ultimately came from Warner Brothers, Young’s label. Though the loss of Young’s music likely represents a small percentage of overall streams on Spotify, Young pointed out that “Spotify represents 60% of the streaming of my music to listeners around the world.” For Young and his fans, the hit was palpable, and his fans are apparently taking their frustrations out on Spotify. The hashtag #SpotifyDeleted trended on Twitter yesterday, and fans seem to have inundated customer support with so many messages that Spotify has had to take it offline at times.
— ARS Technica, 1/28/22

In the grand scheme of things, this won’t hurt either side a whole helluva lot, which is why the initial connection was made between today’s streaming services and yesterday’s record companies. Ultimately, they screw the artist.

In a tweet sent late Thursday, and later pinned to the top of the official Apple Music Twitter account, Apple called its platform “the home of Neil Young.” Some Apple Music users also reported seeing Young’s albums and playlists promoted front and center in the Apple Music “browse” section with the banner “We Love Neil.”
— CNN, 1/28/22

On Friday, Young announced a special deal with Amazon Music, giving new subscribers four months free of the streamer. The move by the 76-year-old music icon comes two days after he demanded that Spotify pull his tracks off its service in protest of Spotify’s failure to curb COVID misinformation in “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
— Yahoo! Entertainment, 1/28/22

So Apple and Amazon will offer Young twice the chump change Spotify paid in royalties. That’s mighty big of them. Neil had better hope those on social media who’ve just discovered him via his newfound, yet superficial relevance, don’t find out what he really thinks of them, and with all the talk of Spotify tanking because of Neil Young, it looks like they’ll survive the #CancelSpotify hissy fit by those who couldn’t tell you who Neil Young was a couple of weeks ago.

Considering Neil Young and Joni Mitchell’s songs may come up in an obscure oldies playlist, it’s not looking like they’re really taking one for the team in the name of medical clarity.

So ignore the attention-relevance-seeking bloviating from artists whose music older people haven’t intentionally opted to hear since before the ’80s. The Spotifys of the world won’t have their back because there’s really nothing for either side to lose.

Such did happen in Florida.

Miami Herald: Controversy over surgeon general continues at confirmation hearing. Democrats walk out

State Senate Democrats stormed out before the confirmation vote of Dr. Joseph Ladapo because they claim he couldn’t “adequately answer questions on his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Not like any of the federal government officials have any better, but Dr. Ladepo was expected to have all the answers as he doesn’t appear to have been a Democrat-embraced Affirmative Action hire.

The Florida State Democrats in attendance who walked out were Lauren Book (Minority Leader), Janet Cruz, Shevrin D. “Shev” Jones, and Bobby Powell. If Lauren Book sounds familiar is because she’s a very recent controversy….

Florida state Sen. Lauren Book, who is proposing legislation to stop cyber trafficking after nude pictures of her were stolen and sold online, decried victim blaming in an exclusive interview with Fox News digital.

“Some of the other things that I’ve heard is … ‘Well, if you weren’t so young or good-looking, you wouldn’t have this problem.’ That is a terrible thing to say to somebody who’s having to endure cyber trafficking,” Book told Fox News. “My images were sold, bought for, traded, not with my consent, and it is happening every day to women, children across the country.”
— Fox News, 1/25/22

Again we reiterate the point there’d be no nude pictures if you don’t consent (for whatever reason) to have nude pictures taken in the first place. Maybe while being pissed off, walking out on Ladapo was an easy way to change the subject.

Some of the Democrats expressed frustration because of the length of Ladapo’s answers, Book repeatedly demanded a yes-or-no answer if COVID-19 vaccines were effective, why Director of the Florida Department of Health in Orange County Dr. Raul Pino was put on administrative leave after sending out an email to health department staff highlighting the department’s low vaccination rates and urging all employees to get vaccinated, and if he “regretted not wearing a mask” during a meeting with state Sen. Tina Polsky (D) after she asked him to wear one because she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy at the time.

What probably irked Florida Democrats most is Ladapo’s defiance of their president and nomination by Governor Ron DeSantis.

Ladapo criticized the Biden administration for its decision to stop sending federally owned doses of two monoclonal antibody treatments that laboratory studies have shown do not work against the omicron variant of the virus.

Ladapo has assumed control of a Department of Health that has been on high alert for nearly two consecutive years. Along with the coronavirus pandemic, the department has been charged with improving the state’s racial health disparities, combating a runaway epidemic of opioid overdose deaths and fighting the remnants of an outbreak of Hepatitis A.

DeSantis was asked about Ladapo’s confirmation during a campaign event Wednesday morning. “Dr. Ladapo is a superstar”.
— Miami Herald, 1/26/22

While Democrats proudly embrace Affirmative Action for those they deem disadvantaged, they call foul on anyone NOT Democrat who quickly rises through the ranks, especially a son of immigrants from Nigeria who graduated from Harvard Medical School and was a physician and researcher at UCLA.

Ladapo’s fast-track hire at the University of Florida has raised questions about political pressure from DeSantis megadonor and UF Board of Trustees Chairman Mori Hosseini to get Ladapo a job with an income that would supplement his salary with the Department of Health.
— Tallahassee Democrat, 1/25/22

Unlike the treatment of Democrat nominees, especially black Democrat nominees, there were no glowing tributes to his rising above adversity, no praise for his academic and professional achievements, no declarations of pride for his representation in the community, and certainly no softball questions that had no relevance to the position. It was tempered hostility until the final walkout gesture, done in visual anger.

As the hourly televised death toll mounted, President Trump was under immense political and media pressure to come up with anything to keep Americans safe and the economy rolling, despite those who salivated over a climbing death rate and local shutdowns that would help a Democrat nominee finally dethrone the sitting president.

During an eagerly anticipated and disastrous press conference, President Joe Biden admitted during the onset of the pandemic,

“This was a brand new virus. A brand new phenomenon. … This is an unfolding story. It’s the nature of the way diseases spread. We’re going to learn about it in a lot of other areas than this, not just COVID-19.”

It would have been nice had candidate Biden afforded such understanding for trying to tackle the unknown when he blamed Donald Trump for hundreds of thousands of coronavirus deaths during the presidential campaign….

The standard operating procedure for the Biden administration has been and will continue to be blame someone else. The problem is numbers don’t lie.

Strange how the media is almost totally silent about the fact that more than 400,000 Americans have died of Covid-19 since Joe Biden was sworn in January 20, with more than 1,000 deaths a day adding to the toll. As you’ll recall, there was a full-blown national day of mourning on January 19, Trump’s last full day in office, which was the day deaths hit 400,000. The New York Times has the current death count at 801,037. It seems likely that at least another 100,000 will die as the winter storms in. It’s not hard to imagine that there could be twice as many Covid deaths on Biden’s watch as on Trump’s.

Thanks in pertinent part to Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, Biden was able to take office with the vaccination effort already well underway, and he declared victory over the virus in an Independence Day speech. At that point, 200,000 Americans had died of Covid on his watch, and since then, another 200,000 have perished.

Remember all the pundits and Democrats proclaiming that Trump had “killed” 400,000 Americans? Will Chris Hayes and Kamala Harris blame Biden for “mass slaughter” now that he has presided over even more deaths? Or even the 200,000 since Biden’s “Mission Accomplished” speech? Failing that, will they at least acknowledge they were wrong to blame Trump for America’s suffering much the same fate as comparable nations? Will they at least say, “I’m sorry”?
— National Review, 12/16/21

The American left and their media love to shout out any kind of body count under a Republican watch and almost always hide those inconvenient numbers when Democrats are in charge. For Joe Biden to admit that no one knew how to initially confront COVID-19 is an unfortunate courtesy he denied Donald Trump for purely political reasons meant to help him win an election.

Now he expects the public to cut him slack as his administration treads in unknown waters while he takes credit for a virus response delivery infrastructure and vaccine creation he ungratefully inherited from Trump. Granted, it will work on the few hundred thousand who watch CNN and MSNBC but few outside that fringe are buying it.

Those dancing nurses at the White House work for Northwell Health, who fired 1,400 nurses for defying the jab. Those 1,400 also worked last year during the pandemic. What a degrading thing to do, in the face of lost jobs which were just as important as these clowns!
— usProudArmyBrat, 9/23/21

Thank Joe and Jill while you try getting that visual and musical rendition out of your head….

From the onset of the COVID-19 mask mandates, mostly implemented by power-tripping progressives, we’ve seen the expected result. Masks strewn on sidewalks, streets, an/or anywhere they can be discarded without the inconvenience of having to either carry it home or find a trash can.

However, it’s now become a health and environmental emergency….

As Laura’s pointed out numerous times, these soiled masks should be also considered bio-hazards as the collection of COVID-19 on either side of the mask is a potential health hazard.

A study from the University of Portsmouth found mask litter increased by 9,000% in the first seven months of the pandemic and could have led to further spread of the virus. During their study, researchers discovered two million littered masks were collected across 11 counties. A government spokeswoman said it is “vital” waste is correctly disposed of. Researchers from the university believe the plastic pollution caused by face mask litter could last hundreds of years.

Professor Steve Fletcher, from the University of Portsmouth, said: “Without better disposal practices, an environmental disaster is looming.”

The university is now calling on the government to create new policies for enforcing waste disposal.
— BBC, 9/11/21

Turns out she’s backed by the science.

It’s telling this study was conducted in the UK and not (yet) in the United States.

Imagine telling those who like to get in our faces to pick up their mask trash; many of whom who’ve had problems to this day cleaning their own room. Just ask mom. And now we’ll again see how far their sense of environmental and health justice goes against their inner pig instincts where it’s easier to just toss their fluids anywhere because someone else will pick it up.

You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease.
— Julianne Malveaux, columnist, radio host on Clarence Thomas, 11/4/94

With that, you’d think liberal Democrats would want conservative Republicans to remain unvaccinated so we’d all die horrible deaths. And don’t believe the rationale that conservatives getting vaxxed will save everyone’s lives, including theirs. It’s not like they can’t keep wearing their masks; you know, the lifesaving shields they initially mandated while cavalierly discarding their bio-hazard coverings on the street.

One can only imagine the mental contortions going on in the heads of the left, especially given the constantly evolving information issued by the CDC, governors, mayors, federal and state “health officials”, and even the President of the United States during a CNN Town Hall with Don Lemon.

You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.
— President Joe Biden, 7/21/21

Hold that thought.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a famed civil rights leader and two-time presidential candidate, and his wife, Jacqueline, have been hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19, according to a statement Saturday. Jesse Jackson, 79, is vaccinated against the virus and received his first dose in January during a publicized event as he urged others to receive the inoculation as soon as possible.
— ABC News, 8/22/21

Whoops.

While that was rather definitive yet later dismissed/corrected as another Joe-being-Joe senior moment, it’s still being demanded that the unvaccinated “follow the science”. But remember when we were told that we must follow the science because there’s consensus? Remember Barack Obama declaring, numerous times, climate change being real because “97%” of scientists said so even though they didn’t…?

When it comes to the efficacy of coronavirus vaccines, despite the insistence/assurance of Dr. Anthony Fauci, there is no medical consensus.

If you venture forth and perform rather simple searches beyond Facebook, Twitter, and Google censors, you’ll see many posts and videos from actual doctors, scientists and drug developers who declare, without hesitation, that the vaccines are unsafe, provide pretty easy-to-understand evidence and those not bound by our regulations have been able to sue for damages.

Bet’cha you won’t hear about this on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc. The obvious question would be why are we handcuffed by the “emergency authorization” that immunizes vaccine developers so those injured by the jab will never be made whole?

It’s clear there’s no “consensus” despite the dictates coming from cable news hosts, pundits, and politicians that the unvaccinated obey and get the jab. You can also understand vaccine hesitancy after being told to accept medical advice from non-medical professionals like Harris Faulkner or Anderson Cooper and the pundit, bully class, while no one whose face appears on our televisions or radios can refer to ONE Phase 4 long term side effect study on any of the vaccines purely because of the physical lack of time required to conduct them.

Normally Phase 4 studies are released after the Phase 3 trials have concluded (anywhere between six and ten years) .

The world is currently in Phase 3….

Unbeknownst to the arrogant vaccinated who are happily demonizing the unvaxxed, THEY are the Phase 3 “volunteers” because they consciously chose to receive the vaccine. But you can’t really blame them for not reading the fine print on the vaccine packaging because there isn’t any.

COVID vaccine package insert is blank because up-to-date information is online
— Associated Press, 5/11/21

A convenient excuse provided by anonymous online “fact checkers” and a Johnson & Johnson “director of global corporate media relations” but highly irregular given coronavirus vaccines are the only drug we can remember that doesn’t readily share the upside with the downside. Watch any drug commercial on television where the second half discloses some of the possible unpleasant side effects (of varying degrees up to and including death). COVID-19 vaccine side effects and the moving of goalposts continue to be issued on a drip-and-drab basis.

So, we get new alarming tidbits like this on a near daily basis because we’re currently in fact-finding Phase 3.

CDC Director Walensky: There is an ‘Increased Risk of Severe Disease Among Those Vaccinated Early’
— 08/18/21: Press Briefing by White House COVID-19 Response Team and Public Health Officials

Despite inconvenient speed bumps, the push is on and it will get more intense once the FDA finally issues their seal of approval on any vaccine. The ongoing justification is that the unvaccinated are to blame for the COVID-19 mutations that’s now causing the vaccinated to contract the very virus they were assured they’d be immune from because they obeyed.

But, what if it’s more than that?

Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.)

Mutual assured destruction (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender

There are online sources that are, as best they can, keeping tallies of the “adverse side effects” and deaths cause by COVID-19 vaccines, even though it’s acknowledged that sites like VAERS can only keep count of a small percentage of actual incidents because they are voluntarily entered, and given the lockstep messaging coming from the government and media, there’s no way to know the actual number of vaccination casualties.

It should also be noted that the 12,791 deaths related to Covid-19 vaccines reported on VAERS over the period of 8 months, compares to 8,966 deaths related to all other vaccines reported on VAERS since the inception of VAERS – a period of 31 years. And this does not raise alarm bells within your agencies, or cause you to reconsider assembling an independent safety panel of outside experts?
— Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), 8/22/21

But back to the original point: if liberals hate conservatives, many to this day openly want us dead, hate the unvaccinated and are now contracting the virus despite the assurance of Saint Fauci, do they really want to save the unvaccinated or do they want the disobedient to have to suffer the same fate of they unknown they do?

This we DO know: the vaccines may alter human DNA, mess with the very immune system God gave us to ward of viruses, and change the shape of blood cells causing the numerous reports of blood clots. Once you take the vaccine, you are at the mercy of “variants” and later those who suggest new and improved “booster” shots will fix what was undone by those pesky mutations. You can’t walk that back, it seems obvious that the vaccinated may have internal remorse for voluntarily subjecting their bodies to the unknown just because they were on the preferred side of peer pressure, and now they want those who had the audacity to resist be punished with the daily fear they now have to endure.

Of course, leftist lemmings conveniently ignore the political and/or entertainment elite who arrogantly and consistently break the same mask mandates they demand and impose on a defenseless public. It’s like THEY know something we all don’t, considering they have Americans jumping as high as they want over something no one can see, smell or touch.

Must be nice.

If you absorb the emotional messaging of the vaccinated vice the tempered, logic of the doctors warning against it, you can see why the vaccinated are acting like those Titanic passengers in the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean who have no life jacket. Those are the people you want to help but need to stay clear of because, in their final moments of self-preservation panic, would push you down to save themselves.

It’s understandable why they’re so irrational and devoid of common sense.

Really…?

We’re talking about crazed liberals who may now want to see ill happen to others who didn’t do something they now know may have been a very dumb decision: one they will never be able to reverse.

UPDATE: #NoAmnestyForCovidTyranny

It took over two years of vaccinated bullying and censorship but when the truth became uncomfortable enough to defend, the intolerant declared it time for a truce.

The nerve.

The people who got it right, for whatever reason, may want to gloat. Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. All of this gloating and defensiveness continues to gobble up a lot of social energy and to drive the culture wars, especially on the internet. These discussions are heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive. In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck. And, similarly, getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing. Treating pandemic choices as a scorecard on which some people racked up more points than others is preventing us from moving forward.

We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge.

The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well. Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward.
— The Atlantic, 10/31/22

It would be nice to let bygones be bygones, take the high road, forgive and forget, live and let live, yada yada, but there are millions of Americans, not to mention even more around the world, who were mocked, vilified, discriminated against, prosecuted, had their bank accounts frozen, fired from jobs, put out of business, just because they dared use common sense and question the dictates of politicized health officials and media talking heads with zero medical experience. An untold number of Americans alone were blackmailed into getting vaccinated in order to make a living or see loved ones in medical facilities or nursing homes, and religious exemptions were vindictively ignored.

Call it gloating or a belated bitch slap for all those who got in our faces, demanded we be silent because we were “killing people” but the only people now “suddenly dying” at an increased rate are those who acquiesced to the fear pushed by cable news pundits and partisan government lifers.

We will only repeat history if we again do what is now demanded and forgive those who were wrong and act like it never happened. These people need be forcefully reminded that their words and deeds contributed to the vaccine genocide that all those who are not pure blood will have to worry about for the rest of their lives. Their fears and concerns are not something we all must share just because THEY are the ones affected. They brought it on themselves and they must be reminded of this every day so they aren’t allowed to ever do this again.

Covid-19 vaccine maker Moderna designed its vaccine against the novel coronavirus in just two days. On Jan. 11, Chinese authorities shared the genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus, according to Moderna’s website. Two days later, on Jan. 13, the National Institutes of Health and Moderna’s infectious disease research team finalized the sequence for mRNA-1273, the formal name of the company’s Covid-19 vaccine. The company then went on to formulate a clinical batch, according to a company spokesperson.

Moderna announced it intends to apply today to the US Food and Drug Administration for authorization of its Covid-19 vaccine.
— CNN, 11/30/20

TWO DAYS.

It brings to mind an iconic opening scene from a rather bad remake.

Not only does one have to absorb the reality that so many want to put something into their body that took TWO DAYS to create, but there obviously hasn’t been time to study what the side effects will be.

Clinical trials move through phases, testing interventions in larger groups until they are determined safe and effective.

The first three phases can take several years to complete and aside from those hurried, an important phase appears to have been blown off altogether.

Phase 4: This phase is often called “Post-Approval Research and Monitoring.” After a new treatment is approved by the FDA, the pharmaceutical or device company may want to continue monitoring patients to learn more about the treatment’s longer-term effects, while comparing it against other already-approved options. It may take time for long-term side effects to appear, making this an important phase.
— Antidote

And you know there will be side effects because there always are.

So, this is just something to ponder.

Approximately one year ago, no one thought the world and her economies would be taken down by an invisible virus, not to mention the political fallout. Let’s be real: NO ONE knows what the short or long-term side effects of a COVID-19 vaccine will be and despite the assurances against the unknowns, there will be geniuses on Capitol Hill and state houses around the country that will propose the taking of the said vaccines be made mandatory. You’d think such decisions would require more care and deliberation.

Then again, how much more damage can be caused because of a couple of days?

Bill Gates jumped-started Moderna and his vaccine track record has been scandalous, to say the least.

Anyone defending the Bill Gates/WHO global vaccine program needs to explain this study: Mogensen et al 2017. Prior to 2017, neither HHS nor WHO ever performed the kind of vaccinated/unvaccinated (or placebo) study necessary to ascertain if the DTP vaccine actually yields beneficial health outcomes. The DTP vaccine was discontinued in the US and western nations in the 1990s following thousands of reports of death and brain damage.

Bill Gates and his surrogates, GAVI and WHO, made DTP a priority for African babies. The Danish government and Novo Nordisk Foundation commissioned this study by a team of the world’s leading experts on African vaccination. The two most prominent names, Drs. Soren Mogensen and Peter Aaby, are both vocal vaccine supporters. They were shocked when they examined years of data from a so called “natural experiment” in Guinea Bissau where 50% of children die before age five. In that west African nation, half the children were vaccinated with the DTP vaccine at three months and the other half at six months. Dr. Mogenson and his team found that girls vaccinated with the DTP vaccine died at 10 times the rate of unvaccinated kids. While the vaccinated children were protected from Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis, they were far more susceptible to other deadly diseases than unvaccinated peers. The vaccine apparently compromised their immune systems. Thanks to Gates, DTP is the world’s most popular vaccine.

We’ve been hearing so much about how COVID-19 has disproportionately affected the black community and the left wants blacks and Latinos to get the first batch of vaccines available.

I guess we’ll find out what the side effects are soon enough.

UPDATE

Maybe not, but at least the probability is belatedly being discussed.

In a new research article published in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, veteran immunologist J. Bart Classen expresses similar concerns and writes that “RNA-based COVID vaccines have the potential to cause more disease than the epidemic of COVID-19.”

For decades, Classen has published papers exploring how vaccination can give rise to chronic conditions such as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes — not right away, but three or four years down the road. In this latest paper, Classen warns that the RNA-based vaccine technology could create “new potential mechanisms” of vaccine adverse events that may take years to come to light.

Remember this before you race out to get vaccine shots.
