The great unlearned lesson from this disaster has been that people with healthy immune systems suffer less from the various pathogens whose environment we share, and that the medical-industrial complex doesn't profit from our health and therefore suppresses the knowledge to maintain it. Their business model requires our sickness. Learn to protect your health and you're also immune to the mass hysteria.

You are so right. I’ve now learned to keep my vitamin D level up, and I use the Zelenko protocol ( C, zinc, Quercetin) against all viruses, not just SarsCoV2. Plus I gargle after being in crowds. I plan to keep this up for ever. No illness in almost 3 years now, even with hubby’s recent very bad cold plus many friends with Covid.

Pharma does not want us to know about natural prevention.

Supplements can be useful, but if we need them, we're doing something wrong. Our bodies are built to handle pathogens, and if we feed and treat it right, they're not a problem. The whole medical-industrial industry is designed to make us dependent on their drugs, and the supplement industry does too, but with proportionally less avarice. I take a handful of supplements, too, but my goal is to improve my condition to not need them. I need them much less than I used to.

I agree. My father was a pathologist and he was very focused on nutrition, time restricted eating, avoiding wheat (he called it white death), getting sunshine, avoiding vaccines, reducing inflammation, good fats (he would eat avocado with grass fed butter!) and reducing insulin response (he’d point to obese people snd say “hyperinsulinemia”) etc.

I once asked him if my hot car would have dangerous fumes from the plastic seats. His answer: “You eat cereal and milk for breakfast and you’re worried about plastic fumes?!”

He “checked out” this year at age 97.

Sounds like a wise man. Not only wheat, but all grains and most vegetables have varying amounts of toxic effects. I minimize all of them, but keep enough in my diet to maintain enough gut bacteria to process them if needed, like if Joe succeeds in running us out of diesel fuel, predicted for next month, which will close all the grocery stores, forcing us all to forage.

97 will be an easy target for us if we're careful. Researchers are on the verge of significant longevity extensions. Sergey Young is a major investor in longevity research and predicts 150 will be reasonable expectation within a few decades. Our parents were just a little too early to take advantage of it. Maybe we won't be.

Most of us do not spend as much time out of doors as our ancestors did. Hence the need to supplement Vitamin D.

Fauci himself admitted early on to taking 10,000 IUs of vitamin daily, 250% of what I take. By testing my blood I found that my daily 4,000 IUs in winter (and 3,000 in summer) was sufficient to raise my blood vitamin D to the upper end of what my doc considers a safe range. But of course, I can’t talk my narrative-following mother into taking any more than what’s in her daily multi vitamin.

Anyone who supplements D should also supplement magnesium. Metabolizing D consumes magnesium, and many people are deficient to begin with. It can also cause calcium imbalance, which causes other problems. Balance is important. If we need to overdose on anything, we're doing something wrong.

I have trouble digesting and absorbing vitamin D. As much as I would take, it did not increase my blood D levels significantly, even with K and magnesium. So now I take sublingual D+K which gets absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

eugyppius: Pardon the off-topic comment, but I want to let you know that as a paid subscriber for many months, I'm concerned that my email provider (yahoo) seems to be suppressing your content (and only yours--this issue is unique to your emails). I have never flagged any of your emails as "junk," but now a good percentage of your mails, including this one, get redirected into my junk folder and I have to find them among the dreck. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes, same here, though I won't complain: I treat Substack e-mails as spam and delete them all (and I wish I could simply turn off all e-mail notifications). I log into Substack to check what's new.

I should have have gotten Zoho email a few years ago when a friend recommended it and it was still free. Even though I can afford to have a basic account I don't need even the basic account really, just for email. They don't scan your emails and put an emphasis on privacy, at least they did before. Ironically, I migrated from AOL and att.net email, the latter of which was connected to Yahoo, to Gmail because it seemed have become less invasive than AOL and Yahoo were once they were acquired by Verizon.

I have an att email that was being routed through some kind of yahoo server. Business clients that I've had for years suddenly started going to junk, and I couldn't fix it despite how every single time I'd designate it as "not junk" and move it to the correct mail folder. This persisted for at least a year to two years, and it just affected about 3 client emails. Then all of a sudden last month, these emails stopped going to junk. I have zero idea how or why this happened.

I use Outlook, having done so for years, and it considers not only notification of these blog posts, but those of Robt Malone, Glenn Greenwald, Emerald Robinson, and other substacks to which I subscribe . And, if it doesn't like the subject matter of what I'm sending/forwarding to another, it tells me it can't (read: won't) deliver it Consequently, I need to go thru my junk folder daily and hand move it to my inbox.

Thought police, anyone??

I think it's more likely your mail provider rather than the Outlook app, although Outlook might have some junk settings you could adjust. Ditto your webmail to adjust your mail provider junk settings.

My ISP, Fairpoint, is fairly small, when considered in the broad scheme of the business. I've tried changing settings in both Outlook and with the ISP. Sometimes it works and when it does, the changes are only temporary and I once again find the emails in the junk folder. So I just religiously review that folder and, being cynic that I am, just chalk it up to 'it is what it is' and move on. lol

PS - I have gmail as a back up that I mostly use on my cell related correspondence.

All media is entertainment. Its business model is based on advertising revenues driven by clicks and eyeball viewers that respond to sensation and outrage. So, sensation and outrage is what you get when consuming the WaPo, NYT, cable TV, etc., and other regime media.

I have noticed that the press will hype and hype and virus they consider not serious. What's interesting is how differently it played out for Coronavirus.

Obviously there's a business model here - the press exists to warn you of dangers that are unknown to you, and by scouring the world for potential risks you'll be informed and well protected from any potential threats. Something like that. If you read about a fire you'll know that fires are happening, if you read about a car accident then you'll be more careful when driving or walking.

With Zika, Ebola, Legionnaire's and every other disease they could think of, the press chose to be as alarmist as possible. Yes, something might only affect 100 people, but it's a very real risk for those people! And so with this sleight of hand we can exaggerate things and push article clicks or papers as appropriate at the time.

With Covid, it was the opposite. All the corporate press said that it would be like the Flu, the WHO refused to declare it a pandemic, the works. I find it incredible that the same corporate media that 'knows' to exaggerate every fake viral threat, also understood that with Covid, it should do the opposite.

Does anyone else find it absolutely incredible that the scaremongering journalists that basically live to blow every single out of proportion, took such a measured response to Covid reassuring people that it would be no deadlier than the Flu, on the basis of absolutely nothing?

Unfortunately it seems that whatever take is presented in the popular media is quite at odds with reality, and the fact that it correctly switched when presented with an actual threat, well I find that somewhat concerning.

All pandemics going back to the 1976 swine flu debacle are invented to push fear and the rush to pretend life saving vaccines or injections. Which as we all know, do not save lives as they have never been realistically proven to do so. After all, without fake pandemics the CDC would have nothing to lie about and would have to thumb wrestle the FDA for top spot in big pharma's medical tyranny regime.
