I printed some of your work and left it for my children with a note on my kitchen table. I noticed that my 15 yr old not only read it but took it to her room and is now sharing (digitally of course) with others. Wonderfully worded and beautifully written messages -you are gifted and we are the beneficiaries. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas

Thank you for your measured and inspiring writing, at all seasons. As a physician, I believe that people would lose their fear, and return to life's joys, if early treatment were readily available. In the U.S., doctors who treat early are blocked at every turn. In our state, pharmacies refuse to fill prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. Most recently, while a COVID injection is available on every street corner, the rare monoclonal antibody infusion centers have so few beds that they reject the majority of prescriptions as "not high enough risk." It is difficult not to feel that the authorities want people to die, when you seek help from systems and authorities. Part of the way back will be letting physicians be physicians once again.

Also, Merry Christmas from Idaho. You have made the world so much smaller for me . Like a family feeling blessed in companionship and mutual affection, safe from the storms raging outside.

Thank you, eugyppius, for all the diligent and time-consiming work you've done for us. It's been profoundly meaningful to me and I'm sure for the many other people who have followed you. It's been a huge comfort to see that there are people in the world who have not succumbed to fear, and who analyze information carefully. Our hearts are with people everywhere who are oppressed by governments. We should not trust them or pharmaceutical companies with the running of our lives. Truth will out and God-willing liberty will be restored to our world. Merry Christmas, the ultimate message about deliverance from darkness and the gift of true light and the hope of all.

Fröhliche Weihnachten! I remember with great fondness the Bavarian Christmas seasons that I was privileged to enjoy as a child, especially being at my Oma’s home in Nurnberg. Here’s to hope for the new year, renewed courage, and an end to the fear and insanity.

Merry Christmas! I find comfort in our small corner of the internet, as you say. The hardest part of this pandemic has been feeling alone in what seems so obvious to me- looking around wondering why others do not see the corruption, manipulation, greed, power grabbing and plain incompetence. Having writers like you has kept me sane and confirms what I see. My appreciation for this gift cannot be overstated. Thank you.

Wisdom is a gift... Rationality is a gift... Here you provide a modicum of both mixed with the blessing of the humane. Thank you for the Voice of Sanity to lean on over the last 12 months. And thank you for working so hard to interact with you audience and bring them in as a part of the solution. As our Fearless Leaders are wont to say.... "We are all in this together."

Thank you, Eugyppius. ---EJD

And a Merry Christmas to you too (in one hour and a half as of writing this). May you be blessed and refreshed for the fights ahead to come.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

Blessings to you and your family. Thank you so much for providing this oasis of sanity and refuge for the sceptical and marginalised. May you have a wonderful Christmas, with just enough lebkuchen!

I'm a recent arrival on this particular site (I highly recommend The Daily Sceptic for UK readers) and want to thank you very much for your insights and measured, rational approach. Let's hope for common sense to stage a revival amongst our leaders in 2022. Best Wishes to you all for Christmas and the New Year.
