During the pandemic I refused to get the vaccine. I explained to my colleagues that as a very healthy Nurse Practitioner, that I would easily survive the virus, as I did , and have excellent long lasting immunity which would enable me to care for my patients throughout. I felt the experimental vaccine was for the vulnerable- if they desired it- after an honest risk/benefit analysis was done. I also explained to my patients that the risks of the vaccine were truly unknown. The majority of my colleagues, mainly MD's, answered me with a resounding " Who is healthy? How do you know you are healthy enough? " And this came from not just the overweight doctors, but from many that I considered as healthy as myself. Somewhere along the line I feel that the medical community has simply lost its mind. They have no critical thinking skills and simply run scared from making any real decisions on their own. That lady is a prime example!!!
You're likely a great NP. I'm a retired neurologist and from the get--go said "no" to the vax because i knew what messenger RNA does normally in the human body: carries a genetic code out of the cell's nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm to make protein as instructed. Why would anyone allow the government to dictate what proteins one's body should make? Or "spike" one's drink with?
Not to mention that enzymatic Elephant in the room(cell): reverse transcriptase.
Say, wasn’t there once a statute that made it illegal to change a person’s DNA, their God-given physical feature of proof of uniqueness, of sovereignty?
Oh, yes, the transhuman says to the confused Martian, we don’t do that Law Thing down here anymore. We are having, as you can see, a war between the Cloned and the Wishing-they-were-cloned. Here! You’ll need this phaser!
One thing I've learned in life is how so many people are terrified of making any kind of decision for which they could be held......wait for it.....RESPONSIBLE. Therefore, it's safer to be a whimpering little sheep and let others make the decisions.
How dare she not wear a mask ,did she swallow it ? If masks did not do the trick than rubber plugs in the rear end will frustrate the whyrusses from getting too kosy with her .
Spot on. The only good thing about the continued masking is covering the faces of people that look like this woman. If we could just come up with something for yoga pants ...
Hey, I'll join you. Anyone arguing for mandatory masking should be forced to set an example. Or be made an example of, I forget which one is the nicer option.
Rikard, this is a funny comment. I do not know what a three bagger is but that made me LOL. 😂
Okay, besides that, Hubbs and I watch a LOT of crime and murder shows (mainly Britbox and also if you have not seen the series Ozark, that show is "harsh"..) and a three bagger makes me think it would take three large body bags 😂😂😂
We just got a month of Netflix to watch the latest The Crown🙄 and the last episodes of Peeky Blinders ⁍ ⁍
Oh, and we are watching Ozark for the second time. (we saw it two years ago)
Likely the same people who previously screamed for justice for oppressed Islamic women forced to cover their heads, Ukrainian flying flags all of them.
AND... what are those to do who took the "old deadly" shots ? Oh, that's right, they died from the adverse affects, even the young healthy athletes, and we all know Dead men (and women) tell no tales. Fortunate for Trump, Fauci, Pfizer, etc. etc. and a list too long to ever be printed. Will there be a reckoning ? Doubt it ! Fauci takes every opportunity to be on TV and let everyone know how happy and pleased he will be to testify before congress. I have no idea where Fauci stands spiritually, but when testifying one must raise their hand and swear to God that they will tell the truth. That seems it would not be much of a motivation for the soulless who do not believe they were created by any divine source, does it ? If one believes they came from nothing by chance, and they they leave this this life as nothing, only spending a few years here to ? Perhaps see just how much money they can make ? Or perhaps, who can buy the most expensive things ? Don't know, but seems it would mean nothing to just routinely lie above every and anything, what would be the point of telling the truth ? And, what if the truth would not make one wealthier ? A lot to think about in retrospect concerning this "pandemic".
that is the best advice you could give. Ignore the jab-mask-crazy people and just go on with your life. Let then wear 10 masks (the more the better) and take all the jabs (same) and soon we will get rid of them. They will either suffocate, or pass away from the poison.
Masks reduce oxygen concentration below OSHA standards. That reduction causes immediate reduction in mental acuity, as well as more permanent brain damage. Masks have been a major factor in the mass insanity we've observed. The real question is whether that was the intent. Those who demanded them most certainly knew they are ineffective against virus transmission.
This is bad advice. Masks are detrimental to society, they escalate tensions and aggression among the people and perpetuate the fear that authorities are preying upon to impose their will to transform western liberal democracies steeped in individual rights and freedoms into collectivist authoritarianism.
To wit, multiple international courts have ruled in favor of banning masks for this same rationale - pre-2020.
2014
"Judges at the European court of human rights (ECHR) have upheld France's burqa ban, accepting Paris's argument that it encouraged citizens to "live together".
The law, introduced in 2010, makes it illegal for anyone to cover their face in a public place...the law was not aimed at the burqa or veil but any covering of the face in a public place...
...The European judges decided...that the preservation of a certain idea of "living together" was the "legitimate aim" of the French authorities.
Isabelle Niedlispacher, representing the Belgian government, which introduced a similar ban in 2011 and which was party to the French defence, declared both the burqa and niqab "incompatible" with the rule of law.
Aside from questions of security and equality, she added: "It's about social communication, the right to interact with someone by looking them in the face and about not disappearing under a piece of clothing."
The French and Belgian laws were aimed at "helping everyone to integrate", Niedlispacher added."
2019 - Ruling just months before masks became mandatory.:
"On August 1, 2019, the “Act Partially Prohibiting Face-Covering Clothing,”also known as the “Burqa Ban,” entered into force in the Netherlands. The Act prohibits the wearing of clothing that completely or partially conceals the face in spaces where people are expected to communicate with each other. Thus, face-covering clothing is banned on public transportation and in educational, governmental, and nursing care institutions, but is still allowed in such public spaces as on train platforms. The ban applies to burqas, niqabs, full-face helmets, balaclavas, and masks, but not to headscarves."
The Courts were right pre-pandemic. The Science (TM) of the pandemic is wrong.
Follow The Science (TM): The scientific background on the importance of faces, visible expressions, for a healthy society and healthy social interactions. A 2009 research study titled, "Of snakes and faces: An evolutionary perspective on the psychology of fear." This study supports the very same rationale the international courts upheld the burqa bans for. A healthy society requires faces be seen. Not just eyes. Full facial expressions are an essential form of human communication and stabilizes society. And perhaps most importantly, human aggression is moderated by full faces.
In the study they refer to masked faces. Not in terms of an actual facial covering, but in terms of unnatural neutral faces that intentionally don't communicate any emotion in situations when facial expressions are customary and expected. Point is, yes, they've terrorized us no differently than if they've made us look at snakes all around us all day, every day. It takes constant higher reasoning reminders to self to push through the fear and anxiety masked faces creates just as surely as if surrounded by snakes all the time, even at an subconscious level.
The survival premium of astute detection of subtle cues given off by predators shaped a highly sensitive visual system that later proved useful in the social arena with the expanding social life of anthropoid primates. For example, the sensitivity for danger cues promoted vigilance for early detection of stimuli that announced potential aggressive encounters in social conflicts. It is a fascinating fact that the forebrain structures that have expanded most in size during primate evolution not only include – as we all know – the prefrontal cortex, but also the amygdala. Furthermore, it appears that the enlargement of these two structures was linked, both of them driven by group size. The prefrontal link is important because it allows inhibitory modulation of the amygdala, thus promoting strategic cognitive control of the expression of fear.
Notwithstanding its central role in shaping mammalian and primate evolution, predation is now a less serious agent for disrupting genetic lineages than are hostile conspecifics, at least for the large-bodied hominoid primates, the Great Apes and humans. The major part of violent deaths in these species can be attributed to conflicts between conspecifics, not only among humans, but also chimpanzees.
The prefrontal influence on facial as well as other channels of emotional expression helps to maintain conflicts at a symbolic level, where the relative strength of the combatants can be evaluated from more or less convincing displays of power and submissiveness, which prevents escalating the conflict into an actual fight that might result in injuries to the participants.
A substantial part of the signaling action in conflicts between individuals centers on the faces of the parties measuring their relative strength. As recognized by Darwin, the design of the face suggests that it has evolved as a means of communication. The facial muscles are unique in their function by primarily moving dermal tissue rather than body limbs, producing coordinated changes in the visual appearance of the face. The basic human facial displays are similar to those of other primates, but the human face has a more complex musculature than that of other primates, with a more versatile neural innervation, suggesting that the human ability to communicate by the face is better developed than that of our primate relatives."
Masked faces evoke a primordial fear response, equivalent to seen snakes everywhere around us. No matter how much higher reasoning we rely upon to get through a snake-infested environment, they remain snake-infested fear-evoking environments we must navigate through when masked faces surround us. They are based on The Science (TM) of fear. Aka, the science of totalitarianism.
Totalitarianism throughout history always rides in on the back of fear; it is the only way free people give up their freedoms. Masks were the beginning of this global authoritarian explosion and will be the end of it. Masks have always been the hill to die on, they separate slave from master, submissive from dominant. There's a reason they were only found in the BDSM/Kinkster community and on bank robber and terrorist faces before 2020. Fear and submission to authority, division among the subjects to keep them from organizing against authorities. Jab-mask-crazy people cannot be ignored; they are the ruin of us all. The international court rulings that required unmasked faces in public places must be restored, even in a pandemic; especially in a pandemic.
I did notice the sarcasm about the jab-mask-crazies ignorantly harming themselves. But didn't detect the sarcasm about just ignoring them and going on with your life. Which is what I was responding to. We can't just simply ignore them until they perish, simply ignoring them will perish all of our freedoms. Masks do grievous damage to society every single day they are in public places. As international courts ruled, pre-2020.
Doc Holliday, who started this epic thread, was also being sarcastic. But sarcasm often works because it's true. The world would be a better place if some people were masked. Their communication is more antisocial than their withdrawal. The mask, like the burka, signals someone who probably isn't worth communication.
Congratulations. you've given birth to a brand new word, I will use it with alarming regularity. Please keep us informed if any more should pop into your mind.
"other pathogens are taking advantage of the opportunity that our behaviour has offered them" - our behavior being masking and lockdowns! As eugyppius pointed out, how stupid can you be???
If everyone who thinks she is a blithering fucking idiot wrote and called into the magazine she works for and 1) told management they were sick to death of her quackery and fear mongering and 2) cancelled their subscription and vowed never to buy the yellow rag again then “maybe” you could either 1) get the crazy bitch to back off on the topic or 2) get her shit canned which would be ideal! The New York Times has some Indian bitch named Apoorva Mandevilla who has been cashing in on the covid fear porn for nearly 3 long and infuriating years! People should wake up and get these people REMOVED from their platforms!
“ I was going to subscribe to your mag( insert restaurant, tailor service, deli, grocery, etc) but i have learned of your misguided disposition regarding such things as Nuremberg, Hippocrates... and have, like all my friends, reconsidered.”
Then leave them scratching their head in confused chagrin.
I prefer eugyppius brand of elegant ridicule to repressing what these eejits say. After all if you let them speak and emit their nonsense yes in the current media it will be promoted as truth but our jib as evidence based sceptics is to confront and confound. Hard work sure, but it’s the only way.
It feels like everyone has forgotten basic science, including the need for our immune systems to be regularly challenged to be able to properly protect us, otherwise we shall become like indigenous peoples encountering European explorers for the first time in the 'New World' and dropping dead from exposure to viruses that the explorers themselves wouldn't have noticed they had. How has so-called science regressed so much that this is no longer understood?
My wife had an old distant relative that was so concerned with hydatid cyst that she would not consume vegetables that had not been disinfected with a bleach solution.
As you can imagine, she died from complications after becoming infected with hydatid cyst.
George Carlin: “ we used to swim in the Hudson with the floaters!... cuz we had an Immune System!... hey folks.. what if a REAL GERM comes along... whatarewegonna DO???”
Priceless and equally prescient ancient wisdom, from a guy ahead of his time, 40 yrs ago.
I had to struggle/swim out of my car Sept 2021 (flash flood) and I was face first in the water a lot . It was at the intersection of two gas stations and a Boston market.
I like to tell everyone I’m immune to everything now.
They have memory holed the concept of the immune system. Natural immunity became a "conspiracy theory", and then there is the collectivist rhetoric about the immunocompromised - if any individual can't have a functioning immune system, then everyone has to live like that too.
So let's think about this. So-called "RSV" and all the other viruses, etc., have been around for centuries at least. Why, suddenly, are children's hospital "overwhelmed"?
1. (Many, indoctrinated) parents are hypervigilant post-pandemic brainwashing, leading to bring kids to hospitals to get 'early treatment' (lots of expensive bullshit that doesn't do much); hospitals accept kids even though 99% of them would be fine in bed with soup and a hot water bottle because it turns a profit for the hospital industry (and associated pharma buddies, etc.)
2. Immunizations are actually making kids weaker and more susceptible to disease
Of course, we're not gonna see data on #2, and although I'm pretty sure various immunizations have costs/benefits, I think it's clear that this is mass hypochondria (#1) in tandem with various press outlets getting pressured to sound the alarm on behalf of medical capitalism.
Never again will I fall for the ‘hospitals are overwhelmed’ bullshit. It’s always a lie. I know some folks who work at hospitals, and they always confirm that their hospital is not overwhelmed as described on the news. Also, keep in mind that a ‘shortage of beds’ is never an actual shortage of beds...in truth, it’s a shortage of nursing assistants and nurses to attend to the beds. A shortage which has been going on for many years, and was made even worse when they fired/forced out those who wouldn’t be coerced into being jabbed.
They always found the time to choreograph a little dance, and the news media in the SF Bay Area showed "full" ICU beds with manikins...not kidding, have a photo of the broadcast....boy, they think we are stupid!
Absolutely on the mark. I live in a small foothills town in California, population about 12,000 spread over the area. There is one hospital, and lots of nursing homes/rehab facilities since this area attracts older people in their retirement years. My daughter is a nurse, and since this stupid covid mania there has been and continues to be a shortage of nursing assistants, nurses and other staff. The one hospital is not and never has been overcrowded. Fortunately, it was easy in this area to get a religious exemption but there's still a shortage. People spend $6,000 or more a month to put their loved ones in one of these facilities, yet they don't pay their staff all that well. Pay them better and the quality will improve and good people will stay around.
That's a thought (why are children's hospitals overwhelmed?) which crossed my mind as I was reading the post and formulating my response. Isn't it the case every winter season where hospitals get "overwhelmed"? Except they always manage to keep up. This is entirely normal.
My other observation, from this post and from other scare stories about the flu, is where did the flu go during the last couple of years? Seems that it disappeared for a while, now it's back, and at what should be considered normal levels. What's different now? Why the scaremongering?
I work in a vaccine company with seriously smart scientists and one of them is sure that the coof is coming back “in a big way” because he was at a mall last week and he was the only one wears mask. He used that piece of data in a pipeline discussion to help us choose what to prioritize.
As someone who also works in science with numerous scientists, I think people would be very surprised (or maybe not surprised at all?) to know how much 'scientific' decisions are made in this way.
There is pretty much zero accountability for scientists. That's why they had to push the 'trust the science' narrative so hard. If you have to push 'trust' really hard, then there's probably a reason why people don't trust you .......
The one positive thing I see if that the whole COVID fiasco is a huge elephant in the room. No one boasts about their role during that time. A newbie was just hired and in her introduction she claimed she was “on the front lines” during COVID because she was a nurse or something. There was just embarrassed silence.
Scientists are as susceptible to funnel thinking as anyone else. All of us suffer from availability bias. Think about how variegated expertise is? I mean subject matter expertise not the big howling hedgehogs who pronounce on everything. ( see Isiah Berlin), My expertise is incredibly specialised within a sub speciality I won’t pontificate ( without severe caveats), on anything outside my disciplinary area. Sadly many poorly qualified , half read science journos and political science commissars have no circumspection about wading into any area of knowledge. This is a big part of the problem I suggest.
For some time, certainly before 2020, I have come to the conclusion that scientists are more susceptible to funnel thinking. At least the ones I have met, from the highly dysfunctional academic establishment.
You just described what has become of my side of academia - the humanities - since the early 1990s.
Smug morally superior know-it-alls, pointer rod always at the ready and a wet index finger raised to jump in front of any trend to appear as being in the know and the lead.
Last time this happened to the humanities, we got scientific fascism and capitalist-industrialist eugenics, Deutsche Physik and Lysenkoism out of it.
Sadly these were all theories you could confront and challenge, as they had some crude basis. . I am a social scientist in a quantitative disciple where people are trying to promote Foucault in the broader areas. They say it’s all about discourse and narrative. They see empiricism ( i.e actually testing hypotheses and stuff as “essentialism”. Absolutely it’s truly bloody essential or people just make stuff up concealed in verbal diarrhoea. . My reaction not entirely joking is for them all to Foucault off.
Ask them why they think a french pedophile should be held up as an example to follow.
It is obvious that his entire body of thought is A) plagiarised from the marquis de Sade (especially de Sades' 'Philosophy of/in the Boudoir'), and B) is a mental construct of his own making for him to come to terms with his homophilia and pedophilia.
They usually retreat to Derrida, which is another of their go-to plagiarists.
An empirical example of what it results in: Here in Sweden, thanks to gender studies and feminism and the rest of the cult we now have female police weighing 60 kilos, too weak to work the trigger properly, and unable and unwilling to use force when required.
Because biology is a social construct.
Last week, one such "police" was hospitalised when she and her colleague tried to apprehend a single, very skinny underweight substance abuser. He was strangling her with one hand while trying to get her gun with the other, while she and her colleague were powerless to stop him at all.
Thanks to a man and woman looking on intervening and the man effortlessly wrestling the perp to the ground, we avoided a tragedy.
But mainstream-media only reported that a woman had intervened - got to keep the Grose Lüge going.
From what I can tell, the mood here among the "normal" population, i.e. everybody except the Covidians, is along the lines of "Do shut up, nobody's interested."
If I looked like her I, too, would demand that everyone wear a mask. And a burka.
(I'll show myself out now...)
Itis bizarre how unhealthy these "health experts" look and sound.
During the pandemic I refused to get the vaccine. I explained to my colleagues that as a very healthy Nurse Practitioner, that I would easily survive the virus, as I did , and have excellent long lasting immunity which would enable me to care for my patients throughout. I felt the experimental vaccine was for the vulnerable- if they desired it- after an honest risk/benefit analysis was done.

Absolutely
Spot on. This is a huge part of the problem.
With all due respect, how can a risk/benefit analysis be made when the risks are unknown?🤔
Exactly! Unless any virus will kill you...fragile, end stage something....it's not worth it😊
🔥
It’s like the the people who go into psych and are all crazy 😜
See: lady in LA, Cali!
There was some fat lass in Belgium as well who was an absolute brute. Also America has some 'Admiral' who is also a troon.
She's a MAAAANNNN baby!
Yeah, we were stuck with him in Pennsylvania until he got shipped off to DC to become an Admiral.
The best advice at the start of covid from him was to wash your hands to the tune of Happy Birthday til the end of the song.
Yeah the one in PA killed a lot of senior citizens in centers by locking them in there and forcing them to admit covid cases, like Cuomo
Hey watch out what you say about Rachel Devine....after all, HE was named woman of the year!
Thinking that the giant asteroid should just hit Earth and put us out of our misery.
I said nothing bad about Rachel ,only that I like a woman with hair on her chest .
The Babylon Bee named him "Man of the Year."
How dare she not wear a mask ,did she swallow it ? If masks did not do the trick than rubber plugs in the rear end will frustrate the whyrusses from getting too kosy with her .

I forgot how funny that movie was...
We used to say this ditty when I was a kid.
"Fatty and skinny were in bed.
Fatty rolled over and skinny was dead."
We call such women "skåp" when on the meat-market (i.e. pubs and clubs and whatnot).
"Skåp" means large wardrobe or walk-in closet, referring both to body-size and the size of her "love canal".
Hahah! ... Ewwwww! 😳
We did the same tune! Lol! I forgot about that one! Lol!
You would think she would be embarrassed to be Minister of HEALTH. Did the voting public notice her state of non-health? Jeez.....
Broke my phone lens.
You could have used a rock to through at her ,instead of the phone .
I know rocks are hard to find on city streets ,that's why you should always fill your pockets with rocks When out in the country .
Great advice!
OMG!!!
Spot on. The only good thing about the continued masking is covering the faces of people that look like this woman. If we could just come up with something for yoga pants ...
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 How l LOVE Substack! Great post!
*ululates furiously*
Hey, I'll join you. Anyone arguing for mandatory masking should be forced to set an example. Or be made an example of, I forget which one is the nicer option.
She (?) is a definite three-bagger.
Rikard, this is a funny comment. I do not know what a three bagger is but that made me LOL. 😂
Okay, besides that, Hubbs and I watch a LOT of crime and murder shows (mainly Britbox and also if you have not seen the series Ozark, that show is "harsh"..) and a three bagger makes me think it would take three large body bags 😂😂😂
We just got a month of Netflix to watch the latest The Crown🙄 and the last episodes of Peeky Blinders ⁍ ⁍
Oh, and we are watching Ozark for the second time. (we saw it two years ago)
Ahem. Three-bagger is very un-PC, so use judiciously.
It means one bag over her had, one bag over yours and one bag to throw up in after the horisontal mambo is done.
Body-bags out of vinyl or whatever it is they make them from would work. Such as she probably gets off on it...
...or in it.
Pass the eye-bleach.
ohhhhhh 😄😆😂🤣🤮
Never heard of it
If she's been noticing erectile dysfunction, it may not be because of lack of toothbrushing.
I suspect that she is a leading cause of ED.
LOL
Colleague. I escaped via early retirement... how about you?
I had Darth Vader’s lovely visage in mind. Burka plus mask, priceless!
You're a Daisy if you do, Doc Holiday from tombstone.
Another academic that thinks they are a real doctor. She is clueless.
My first thought too!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never take advice or be ruled by ugly people.
If politics is indeed Hollywood for ugly people, we are screwed.
What about Turdy? He is dreamy... I am not gay, but I would do him :P...
Nah...
Damn. You beat me to it......
(Snicker)
Likely the same people who previously screamed for justice for oppressed Islamic women forced to cover their heads, Ukrainian flying flags all of them.
... and buttplug!
Now that Covid is not dangerous it will become obvious that having gotten a Covid shot was the actual source of all of the danger.
The powers that be will pull out all of the stops to obfuscate any long term danger from the shots. It's gonna have to get real obvious
The old deadly shots are made harmless by the new safe and effective shots .
That doesn't make them worth taking if the old deadly shots hadn't been.
It really sounds like you need to turn off your television.
AND... what are those to do who took the "old deadly" shots ? Oh, that's right, they died from the adverse affects, even the young healthy athletes, and we all know Dead men (and women) tell no tales. Fortunate for Trump, Fauci, Pfizer, etc. etc. and a list too long to ever be printed. Will there be a reckoning ? Doubt it ! Fauci takes every opportunity to be on TV and let everyone know how happy and pleased he will be to testify before congress. I have no idea where Fauci stands spiritually, but when testifying one must raise their hand and swear to God that they will tell the truth. That seems it would not be much of a motivation for the soulless who do not believe they were created by any divine source, does it ? If one believes they came from nothing by chance, and they they leave this this life as nothing, only spending a few years here to ? Perhaps see just how much money they can make ? Or perhaps, who can buy the most expensive things ? Don't know, but seems it would mean nothing to just routinely lie above every and anything, what would be the point of telling the truth ? And, what if the truth would not make one wealthier ? A lot to think about in retrospect concerning this "pandemic".
Could it be they died because they did not take enough boosters ??
I'd think it more likely they died because they took too many.
The pandemic is doing the same thing that the American military has been doing to the third world for decades.
Thx for the lolz, good person.
You might find some very interesting reading athttps://astediscovery.com/COVID/DEPOPULATION.htm
Not that easily: there are multiple excuses they use to get around facing what we know to be obvious truths.
Deagel gave us years of advance notice of the current cull.
The details are all in the previous link.
that is the best advice you could give. Ignore the jab-mask-crazy people and just go on with your life. Let then wear 10 masks (the more the better) and take all the jabs (same) and soon we will get rid of them. They will either suffocate, or pass away from the poison.
Masks reduce oxygen concentration below OSHA standards. That reduction causes immediate reduction in mental acuity, as well as more permanent brain damage. Masks have been a major factor in the mass insanity we've observed. The real question is whether that was the intent. Those who demanded them most certainly knew they are ineffective against virus transmission.
Unfortunately much of fhe reduction in mental acutity is being largely accomplished by the public fool system and vapng.
Lets not worry .Windmills kill whyrusses by the truck load .We must build more windmill it will make the walrusses extinct .Sorry I meant viruses .
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey?
"They will either suffocate, or pass away from the poison" Wishful thinking, Lass.
Or, just for fun, wear a ton of masks over head like a mummy and get the groceries. One way to get kicked out for mask-wearing. I know, you dare me.
OMG I just could imagine having a mummy with just the eyes uncovered walking into a store! LOLOL
This is bad advice. Masks are detrimental to society, they escalate tensions and aggression among the people and perpetuate the fear that authorities are preying upon to impose their will to transform western liberal democracies steeped in individual rights and freedoms into collectivist authoritarianism.

The Courts were right pre-pandemic. The Science (TM) of the pandemic is wrong.
Follow The Science (TM): The scientific background on the importance of faces, visible expressions, for a healthy society and healthy social interactions. A 2009 research study titled, "Of snakes and faces: An evolutionary perspective on the psychology of fear." This study supports the very same rationale the international courts upheld the burqa bans for. A healthy society requires faces be seen. Not just eyes. Full facial expressions are an essential form of human communication and stabilizes society. And perhaps most importantly, human aggression is moderated by full faces.
In the study they refer to masked faces. Not in terms of an actual facial covering, but in terms of unnatural neutral faces that intentionally don't communicate any emotion in situations when facial expressions are customary and expected. Point is, yes, they've terrorized us no differently than if they've made us look at snakes all around us all day, every day. It takes constant higher reasoning reminders to self to push through the fear and anxiety masked faces creates just as surely as if surrounded by snakes all the time, even at an subconscious level.

"Fear and the social submissiveness system
The survival premium of astute detection of subtle cues given off by predators shaped a highly sensitive visual system that later proved useful in the social arena with the expanding social life of anthropoid primates. For example, the sensitivity for danger cues promoted vigilance for early detection of stimuli that announced potential aggressive encounters in social conflicts. It is a fascinating fact that the forebrain structures that have expanded most in size during primate evolution not only include – as we all know – the prefrontal cortex, but also the amygdala. Furthermore, it appears that the enlargement of these two structures was linked, both of them driven by group size. The prefrontal link is important because it allows inhibitory modulation of the amygdala, thus promoting strategic cognitive control of the expression of fear.
Notwithstanding its central role in shaping mammalian and primate evolution, predation is now a less serious agent for disrupting genetic lineages than are hostile conspecifics, at least for the large-bodied hominoid primates, the Great Apes and humans. The major part of violent deaths in these species can be attributed to conflicts between conspecifics, not only among humans, but also chimpanzees.
The prefrontal influence on facial as well as other channels of emotional expression helps to maintain conflicts at a symbolic level, where the relative strength of the combatants can be evaluated from more or less convincing displays of power and submissiveness, which prevents escalating the conflict into an actual fight that might result in injuries to the participants.
A substantial part of the signaling action in conflicts between individuals centers on the faces of the parties measuring their relative strength. As recognized by Darwin, the design of the face suggests that it has evolved as a means of communication. The facial muscles are unique in their function by primarily moving dermal tissue rather than body limbs, producing coordinated changes in the visual appearance of the face. The basic human facial displays are similar to those of other primates, but the human face has a more complex musculature than that of other primates, with a more versatile neural innervation, suggesting that the human ability to communicate by the face is better developed than that of our primate relatives."
Masked faces evoke a primordial fear response, equivalent to seen snakes everywhere around us. No matter how much higher reasoning we rely upon to get through a snake-infested environment, they remain snake-infested fear-evoking environments we must navigate through when masked faces surround us. They are based on The Science (TM) of fear. Aka, the science of totalitarianism.

Totalitarianism throughout history always rides in on the back of fear; it is the only way free people give up their freedoms. Masks were the beginning of this global authoritarian explosion and will be the end of it. Masks have always been the hill to die on, they separate slave from master, submissive from dominant. There's a reason they were only found in the BDSM/Kinkster community and on bank robber and terrorist faces before 2020. Fear and submission to authority, division among the subjects to keep them from organizing against authorities. Jab-mask-crazy people cannot be ignored; they are the ruin of us all. The international court rulings that required unmasked faces in public places must be restored, even in a pandemic; especially in a pandemic.
you might not have noticed I was being sarcastic
I did notice the sarcasm about the jab-mask-crazies ignorantly harming themselves. But didn't detect the sarcasm about just ignoring them and going on with your life. Which is what I was responding to. We can't just simply ignore them until they perish, simply ignoring them will perish all of our freedoms. Masks do grievous damage to society every single day they are in public places. As international courts ruled, pre-2020.
Doc Holliday, who started this epic thread, was also being sarcastic. But sarcasm often works because it's true. The world would be a better place if some people were masked. Their communication is more antisocial than their withdrawal. The mask, like the burka, signals someone who probably isn't worth communication.
Dumbfuckery - it's not a word but it popped into my head when I read this. Just thought I'd share that with you all.
Congratulations. you've given birth to a brand new word, I will use it with alarming regularity. Please keep us informed if any more should pop into your mind.
Seriously, look up James Howard Kunstler.
Good word, I'm going to purloin it for future use! :)
Unfuckwithable. I cant take credit for that one.. it’s the author from Mindvalley.

Fucktard comes to mind.....
If you believe that, you haven't read or heard of James Howard Kunstler.
Love your handle and your vocabulary 💕
Thanks Boots ❤️
"other pathogens are taking advantage of the opportunity that our behaviour has offered them" - our behavior being masking and lockdowns! As eugyppius pointed out, how stupid can you be???
If everyone who thinks she is a blithering fucking idiot wrote and called into the magazine she works for and 1) told management they were sick to death of her quackery and fear mongering and 2) cancelled their subscription and vowed never to buy the yellow rag again then “maybe” you could either 1) get the crazy bitch to back off on the topic or 2) get her shit canned which would be ideal! The New York Times has some Indian bitch named Apoorva Mandevilla who has been cashing in on the covid fear porn for nearly 3 long and infuriating years! People should wake up and get these people REMOVED from their platforms!
She and Sueddeutsche are preaching to their kin, the converted.
“ I was going to subscribe to your mag( insert restaurant, tailor service, deli, grocery, etc) but i have learned of your misguided disposition regarding such things as Nuremberg, Hippocrates... and have, like all my friends, reconsidered.”
Then leave them scratching their head in confused chagrin.
We know who they are, and so do they.
I prefer eugyppius brand of elegant ridicule to repressing what these eejits say. After all if you let them speak and emit their nonsense yes in the current media it will be promoted as truth but our jib as evidence based sceptics is to confront and confound. Hard work sure, but it’s the only way.
That Apoorva woman is horrifically stupid.
It feels like everyone has forgotten basic science, including the need for our immune systems to be regularly challenged to be able to properly protect us, otherwise we shall become like indigenous peoples encountering European explorers for the first time in the 'New World' and dropping dead from exposure to viruses that the explorers themselves wouldn't have noticed they had. How has so-called science regressed so much that this is no longer understood?
Very true.
My wife had an old distant relative that was so concerned with hydatid cyst that she would not consume vegetables that had not been disinfected with a bleach solution.
As you can imagine, she died from complications after becoming infected with hydatid cyst.
It is often said that if you grow up on a farm, you never get ill. So much to be exposed to, the immune system can cope with anything later on.
George Carlin: “ we used to swim in the Hudson with the floaters!... cuz we had an Immune System!... hey folks.. what if a REAL GERM comes along... whatarewegonna DO???”
Priceless and equally prescient ancient wisdom, from a guy ahead of his time, 40 yrs ago.
I had to struggle/swim out of my car Sept 2021 (flash flood) and I was face first in the water a lot . It was at the intersection of two gas stations and a Boston market.
I like to tell everyone I’m immune to everything now.
What is that?
They have memory holed the concept of the immune system. Natural immunity became a "conspiracy theory", and then there is the collectivist rhetoric about the immunocompromised - if any individual can't have a functioning immune system, then everyone has to live like that too.
Best line of the entire article: "Continuing to mask would merely prolong our immunological naiveté for another season". You can't have it both ways.
Maybe Christina Berndt should lead a study involving putting another mask on every five minutes until the subject passes out from hypoxia.
So let's think about this. So-called "RSV" and all the other viruses, etc., have been around for centuries at least. Why, suddenly, are children's hospital "overwhelmed"?
1. (Many, indoctrinated) parents are hypervigilant post-pandemic brainwashing, leading to bring kids to hospitals to get 'early treatment' (lots of expensive bullshit that doesn't do much); hospitals accept kids even though 99% of them would be fine in bed with soup and a hot water bottle because it turns a profit for the hospital industry (and associated pharma buddies, etc.)
2. Immunizations are actually making kids weaker and more susceptible to disease
Of course, we're not gonna see data on #2, and although I'm pretty sure various immunizations have costs/benefits, I think it's clear that this is mass hypochondria (#1) in tandem with various press outlets getting pressured to sound the alarm on behalf of medical capitalism.
Never again will I fall for the ‘hospitals are overwhelmed’ bullshit. It’s always a lie. I know some folks who work at hospitals, and they always confirm that their hospital is not overwhelmed as described on the news. Also, keep in mind that a ‘shortage of beds’ is never an actual shortage of beds...in truth, it’s a shortage of nursing assistants and nurses to attend to the beds. A shortage which has been going on for many years, and was made even worse when they fired/forced out those who wouldn’t be coerced into being jabbed.
They always found the time to choreograph a little dance, and the news media in the SF Bay Area showed "full" ICU beds with manikins...not kidding, have a photo of the broadcast....boy, they think we are stupid!
I’d heard but not seen that 😡 about the fake patients
Thanks for confirming.
Also, aren’t hospitals not supposed to have a lot of empty beds, less profit?
Absolutely on the mark. I live in a small foothills town in California, population about 12,000 spread over the area. There is one hospital, and lots of nursing homes/rehab facilities since this area attracts older people in their retirement years. My daughter is a nurse, and since this stupid covid mania there has been and continues to be a shortage of nursing assistants, nurses and other staff. The one hospital is not and never has been overcrowded. Fortunately, it was easy in this area to get a religious exemption but there's still a shortage. People spend $6,000 or more a month to put their loved ones in one of these facilities, yet they don't pay their staff all that well. Pay them better and the quality will improve and good people will stay around.
That's a thought (why are children's hospitals overwhelmed?) which crossed my mind as I was reading the post and formulating my response. Isn't it the case every winter season where hospitals get "overwhelmed"? Except they always manage to keep up. This is entirely normal.
My other observation, from this post and from other scare stories about the flu, is where did the flu go during the last couple of years? Seems that it disappeared for a while, now it's back, and at what should be considered normal levels. What's different now? Why the scaremongering?
Could it be a combination of what you and Yousef are saying?
Utter madness
I work in a vaccine company with seriously smart scientists and one of them is sure that the coof is coming back “in a big way” because he was at a mall last week and he was the only one wears mask. He used that piece of data in a pipeline discussion to help us choose what to prioritize.
As someone who also works in science with numerous scientists, I think people would be very surprised (or maybe not surprised at all?) to know how much 'scientific' decisions are made in this way.
There is pretty much zero accountability for scientists. That's why they had to push the 'trust the science' narrative so hard. If you have to push 'trust' really hard, then there's probably a reason why people don't trust you .......
The one positive thing I see if that the whole COVID fiasco is a huge elephant in the room. No one boasts about their role during that time. A newbie was just hired and in her introduction she claimed she was “on the front lines” during COVID because she was a nurse or something. There was just embarrassed silence.
Good to know. Wonder how many people she killed with unnecessary venting
Ain’t that the truth!
Scientists are as susceptible to funnel thinking as anyone else. All of us suffer from availability bias. Think about how variegated expertise is? I mean subject matter expertise not the big howling hedgehogs who pronounce on everything. ( see Isiah Berlin), My expertise is incredibly specialised within a sub speciality I won’t pontificate ( without severe caveats), on anything outside my disciplinary area. Sadly many poorly qualified , half read science journos and political science commissars have no circumspection about wading into any area of knowledge. This is a big part of the problem I suggest.
For some time, certainly before 2020, I have come to the conclusion that scientists are more susceptible to funnel thinking. At least the ones I have met, from the highly dysfunctional academic establishment.
You just described what has become of my side of academia - the humanities - since the early 1990s.
Smug morally superior know-it-alls, pointer rod always at the ready and a wet index finger raised to jump in front of any trend to appear as being in the know and the lead.
Last time this happened to the humanities, we got scientific fascism and capitalist-industrialist eugenics, Deutsche Physik and Lysenkoism out of it.
This time?
Sadly these were all theories you could confront and challenge, as they had some crude basis. . I am a social scientist in a quantitative disciple where people are trying to promote Foucault in the broader areas. They say it’s all about discourse and narrative. They see empiricism ( i.e actually testing hypotheses and stuff as “essentialism”. Absolutely it’s truly bloody essential or people just make stuff up concealed in verbal diarrhoea. . My reaction not entirely joking is for them all to Foucault off.
Ask them why they think a french pedophile should be held up as an example to follow.
It is obvious that his entire body of thought is A) plagiarised from the marquis de Sade (especially de Sades' 'Philosophy of/in the Boudoir'), and B) is a mental construct of his own making for him to come to terms with his homophilia and pedophilia.
They usually retreat to Derrida, which is another of their go-to plagiarists.
An empirical example of what it results in: Here in Sweden, thanks to gender studies and feminism and the rest of the cult we now have female police weighing 60 kilos, too weak to work the trigger properly, and unable and unwilling to use force when required.
Because biology is a social construct.
Last week, one such "police" was hospitalised when she and her colleague tried to apprehend a single, very skinny underweight substance abuser. He was strangling her with one hand while trying to get her gun with the other, while she and her colleague were powerless to stop him at all.
Thanks to a man and woman looking on intervening and the man effortlessly wrestling the perp to the ground, we avoided a tragedy.
But mainstream-media only reported that a woman had intervened - got to keep the Grose Lüge going.
well said.
Don’t sound ‘seriously smart’ to me.
In their specialization they are. They have just outsourced all of their other opinions.
From what I can tell, the mood here among the "normal" population, i.e. everybody except the Covidians, is along the lines of "Do shut up, nobody's interested."
yes. and i am so, so thankful for this.
Banning that picture of Frau Berndt would do wonders for the incidence of erectile dysfunction.
I like this! Put her picture on the side of condom boxes with the warning- this could be your kid. Condoms would work 100% for sure.
Bwahahaha!
I would reason that the three following 2022 authors will do the job... of what to do to stop the awful mess we're in:
The New Abnormal: The Rise of the Biomedical Security State

Dying to be Free How America's Ruling Class Is Killing and Bankrupting Americans, and What to Do About It
Leland Stillman (Chap. 10, Liberty or Death, p. 196)

“Dropping mask mandates now shows that health policy has lost contact with reality….”
Whoa. Talk about losing contact with reality.....
