I promised you some book reviews, which means I actually have some books to read, and that takes a while; and I’m compiling your vaccine reports, which also takes a while.
I just want the whole truth about the 'efficacy' and side effects to become widely available and appreciated. The TRUTH! The bare truth will be enough punishment for all of them!
So thank You, Eugyppius, Igor Chudov, NakedEmperor, ElGatoMalo, AlexBerenson, SteveKirsch, RWMalone, Dr McCullough and really everybody that keeps on speaking out.
And if the vaccines are indeed safe and effective, I will happily accept to be a stupid asshole and still stay unvaxxed as a personal self-punishment.
We need to look at Big Pharma long game. They want us all to become cash cows for them. They use our children to have an unlimited supply of money from forced vaccinations in order to go to school. We must stop feeding the beast(Big Pharma). We must take back the right to make vaccine choices for our children. Medical freedom for all must become our mantra and our goal!! My body, my choice.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Americans consume the most medications and also pay higher prices. Big pharma has made HUGE profits and yet their greed is endless. They claim America is a civilized society but all I see around me is mental illness, compromised immunities, addiction and comorbidities on the rise. I wonder what the common denominator could be…. I agree with you on starving the big pharma beast. I was never anti-vax before but now I’m extremely hesitant of the $cience.
Me too... never another "Flu" shot for me either. I used to get those prior to my enlightenment from these past two years of blatant and evil malfeasance.
I'd "hesitate" to get a tetanus booster at this point.
About a year ago I stepped on a nail and realized I had not had the tetanus shot in the prior ten years. I went ahead and did it. Unless they change the "recipe", those should be safe.
The tetanus shot is a combo shot, not just tetanus. Also, it takes weeks for whatever protection it might give to take effect, so if you were going to get tetanus from the nail, the shot would not protect you in the short term. Meanwhile, you’ve just allowed a bunch of chemicals into your body which is trying to ward off whatever infection might be brewing. Tetanus also largely involves animal feces—as on farms. The danger might come from the puncture closing up so that tetanus can develop—which can’t happen with an oxygen supply. Surely there are better methods, other drugs, to cleanse the wound, etc. Surely medicine has improved over the many years since the tetanus vax was developed?
There has NEVER been appropriate cost/benefit analysis done on vaccines. NEVER. Check out the recent post from ICAN on FDA docs showing they don’t have any evidence of cost/benefit.

Obesity and other poverty related problems. Remove the obese poor and the US statistics are extremely good. Canada has long waiting lists for cancer screening and treatment. Europe just isn't as fat as America, yet.
So very true! We all need to get back to the basics… Hard work, exercise, eating well, good sleep and using nutraceuticals instead of the synthetic mess that they’re giving us…
It seems to me that Americans in particular (and I really have no idea how it is in other countries) are already cash mega-cows for Big Pharma. Not only do Americans chug medications like candy, they pay more than anyone else in the world for these drugs.
I'm 72 and have always paid attention to eating healthy, natural foods, not smoking, very modest alcohol, frequent exercise, vitamins etc., and I take no medications at all and never have. I ski, hike, ride mountain bikes and go to the gym several times a week. I'm in as good shape as I've always been. Yet an incredible number of people in my age group are totally falling apart and I've read that the average number of medications for my age is 12! My daughter works as a nurse in a nursing/rehab/elder care facility and she has been astounded at the physical wrecks who end up there, many of them only in their 50's and 60's. They are usually overweight, have any number of chronic conditions, and many have dementia even though in their 50's-60's. She has decided it was not really just fate or bad luck for them, but rather, they did it to themselves because of how they chose to live. Lifestyle choices, and it all caught up with them. And meanwhile, these people all swallow handfuls of pills every single day just to keep going. I really do believe this is the result of Big Pharma basically training doctors to brainwash their patients into thinking a pill is the solution to everything and never teaching anything valuable about how to protect your most valuable asset: your body.
Personal story: At least 20 years ago I was in a doctor's waiting room with my young son, seeking information for a particular issue he had. As we sat there, I saw a drug rep waltz in and go directly to speak with the doctor. I noticed the name of a particular new drug on his company drug briefcase. A half hour later, we went in for our visit with the doctor. He handed out some samples of that very drug the rep had brought in (a drug which was somewhat apropos for my son's problem), and he said if they worked out, he would prescribe that one. At the time, I laughed about it because it was so obvious.
I'm nearly 68 and have coffee at a table full of old codgers, most a few years older than me. I watched one of them count out seven different pills and down them with his tea.
We talked, and he said that all together, he was on twelve different medications not counting baby aspirin and three vitamin supplements.
That piqued my curiosity, and I started asking each old bastid how many they were taking.
I was flabergasted.
Anywhere from five to twelve meds was what I found all but two of them taking.
Myself, and another 68 YO healthy as a horse, both of us, were the outliers.
I think if you combine common sense, self respect, assume responsibility for your choices and understand that very little is permanent and can be changed with effort most of us may be able to avoid the 12 pills and multiple repeat DR visits that invite even more. I am 74 myself and though I cannot say I have always chosen well (understatement) over the last 10 years I have focused my attention on positive change whether the food I eat, the exercises I don’t avoid, the friends and family I choose to spend time with and the new things I learn every day… knock on wood… I’m pleased with where I am.
I suffered from chronic respiratory infections and allergies. I had pneumonia 3 or 4 times. That all stopped when I started taking high dose vitamin C. Some people do respond well to some drugs or supplements.
Big Pharma and the FDA are now working to convert supplements into drugs. Abracadabra! Your supplement is now a drug and requires a prescription. They don't want cheap, over the counter competition for their expensive pharmaceuticals. They did this with their B6 priridoxine supplement. Last year they succeeded in taking NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) off the market--a supplement I have been taking for many years which improves breathing (I have COPD). Now they are threatening to make vitamin D3 illegal. Anything that might threaten their stranglehold over safe and effective vaccinations as the only way to treat Covid (vitamin D3 has been shown effective in reducing or eliminating the infection). If they can't eliminate access or forbid access to a supplement--they are going to censor any claims that a supplement is effective (not allowed to put any information about what a supplement is for on its label). Or they are going to claim that you don't need supplements and the RDA is sufficient. You can get everything you need from your diet! Oh yes. When 90% of the U.S. is deficient in iodine and iodized salt is barely enough to prevent goiter with an RDA of 6 mcg when you really need 10 times as much to prevent thyroid problems. But oh no. Salt can cause hypertension. Dr. David Brownstein has written 3 books on thyroid, iodine, and salt.
Linus Pauling, who promoted vitamin C, stated that each person has their own individual dose. Get buffered vitamin C because it's easier to absorb. A good product is Nutribiotic Sodium Ascorbate. 1/8 tsp equals 500 mg. Start with this dose. Increase daily until your stool becomes very soft. That is your individual dose. I take 3000 or 4000 mg. daily. When I stop, I get respiratory symptoms again. However, you will need a higher dose if you get an infection. And when you are healthy, you will need less. When I take too much, I get diarrhea.
The average life expectancy is 78 or so for US males -- maybe a bit higher now. That means half the population dies before that. Your friends are just dying normally, but the meds are artificially propping them up.
I sense an attitude among many, especially boomers, of dependency on the HC industry to keep them alive (not healthy, but still living) and a lack of responsibility for doing it themselves.
That attitude seems to have been born after WW2 with the advent of new drugs and the miraculous outcomes they produced at the time.
Doctors became gods dispensing their magic bullets for what we now consider relatively minor maladies.
The HC industry comprises almost 20% of the US GDP, probably more after this p(l)andemic fiasco, so it isn't just BIG business, it's YUGE.
Like any busines, it tends to want to grow, and grow, it has.
I've always shrugged of the notion that there are simple cures out there for diseases that are costly and kill, but BIG HC has suppressed that info in order to further their business plans.
I just couldn't imagine an entire industry to be that evil.
After C19, I do believe it.
Here's an example.
Why is this not a major headline around the world???
Just found out that Big Pharma pays doctors for vaccinations! Your doctor has now become a dealer for Big Pharma at your expense. Unbiased advice seems to be a thing of the past.
Yes, it often does come down to lifestyle choices. My 87-year-old mom is super fit physically and mentally, bikes and/or walks every day, goes to the gym twice a week, takes no medications (and refuses to get the Covid jab) but has been taking supplements for decades. She's a voracious reader and also enjoys researching her various areas of interest online. She's always led a very healthy lifestyle and the results clearly speak for themselves.
My mom was like that. She was reading Adele Davis in the early 1960s and we all got into the vitamin habit as kids, especially Vitamin C. She never took meds and was driving her car until she was 93. She never ate junk food at all, just a basic home cook making meat, veggies, salads, etc. No packaged foods. She made it to 95.
I worked for Pfizer for one summer (as a typist temp) when I was in graduate school, around 1969. Pfizer at that time was flogging Terracortril (steroid for skin problems) and Terramycin (antibiotic). I went to the doctor for a respiratory infection and proudly told him I worked for Pfizer thinking "I have joined the medical club!" My doctor wasn't too thrilled, though. He said, It seems your company is really pushing Terramycin. I'll let you try it." I got this sort of vibe: "You guys are bugging me constantly to push your products--so go ahead and take some of your own medicine!" I got very sick from this antibiotic. Terrific diarrhea, indigestion, tired, exhausted--I decided I would rather have the cold. I did love working for Pfizer, though. Everyone was nice to me. I loved my boss. I loved my work--cataloging medical papers, typing memos, etc. My boss even gave me very good advice. I liked cataloging ads in medical journals better than typing papers, and my boss told me always prioritize. "Work on the most important tasks, first. I need you to finish my correspondence before you collect the ads." Very good advice--and I have been using it ever since.
If memory serves Terramycin was know to cause photosensitivity which means you may have been advised to avoid being out in direct sunlight. Antibiotics are know to destroy the good gut flora that along with staying out of the sun might have meant your gut microbiome was just blamed fagged out. Your poor immune system tried to tell you. I'd have picked the cold too.
I agree—and I’m 77 this month and like you, don’t take any drugs, am fit, etc. BUT, part of the problem in the USA is that food policy needs to be removed from the USDA as there are competing interests. Back in the early 1980s Louise Light was hired to come up with the first food pyramid—and the committee she put together recommended 3 carb servings for a woman—a serving is 1/2 cup. The top of the USDA changed that to 9 servings—and Light said “you’ll make everyone fat.” So think about how most eat now: cereal breakfast, sandwich lunch, pasta dinner, etc. Add in fake foods that were allowed by rule changes and NO discussion or laws. In American, the school lunch programs are a travesity of bad food. Diets in too many nursing homes have too much cheap foods, which are carb based. The balance my grandparents had with regard to eating is totally lost—along with clean foods raised so they have good nutrition. I could go on.
I am fairly certain that a good number of the drugs taken are to resolve or minimize an effect from another drug.
My sister in law was surprised that at the age of 63 I take only 2 medications. One of which is for my M.S. She told me the 5 medications she was on and later I looked up and found that my suspicions that one of those drugs were the reason she had to go on some of other drugs was correct. Yet you can be sure the doctor never discussed that possibility with her. Instead she was just told she would have to be on them for very long term.
I don't know how people live like that. It's not living. It's merely existing. Even those couple of weeks every few years when I tweek my back and can't do much, I hardly want to go on. Doing nothing? And to know you did it to yourself? I can't imagine.
"The problem" isn't just Big Pharma. The problem is the machine created by ObamaCare that gives power (15-20% of GDP pays off A LOT of politicians and bureaucrats) to the public-private partnership of Pharma-Insurance-Government and Science(tm). Their acronym PIGS is appropriate, as they wallow in their trough of money, corruption and filth.
Robert Malone did a "review" of the article from NY State. He approached it as he has for hundreds of articles or proposals he has reviewed over the years. For someone outside the medical field, it is hard to penetrate their style of discourse.
"Peer review example: “Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine among children”
Having written hundreds of requested peer reviews, I am offering my unsolicited one.
From his review, in reference to their call for continued mask wearing, "At this point, I have lost confidence in the objectivity of the article and the authors, who have clearly demonstrated a lack of objectivity. They have written the relevance section in a way that demonstrates that they have an agenda. Now let’s look at the authors, their affiliation, and potential conflicts of interest."
He goes on to list the authors. Would it surprise you to find out that they are all woman? I am sad to write, it did not surprise me.
Well I admit to loathing a certain type. You've seen them. Strutting around wearing white shoes after Labor Day. The fall of civilizations begin with such disregard for the established norms of culture. What they do in their own homes is their business. They can put drink glasses down on the wood furniture, for all I care. In public there are children watching. What about them!?
I hope you will take a moment of this brief pause to also feed your body and soul. Though our minds are continually replenished with new thoughts, the expression of those thoughts in words can be exhausting. You have brought a great group of subscribers together. We can feed off each other’s comments till your next post.
For those commenters out there reading this, thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on this forum. It lifts my spirits immensely to know I’m not alone in my observations of the world in it current form.
In the UK we are ploughing money into vaccine research too. This time to cut development time to 100 days because we spent far too much time looking at safety previously!
To that regard, here is a first look at the Pfizer trial data. Turns out the vaccine did go to all of your organs after all.
Canada has already bought something like 10 vaccine shots for every Canadian. So far the booster uptake here is not stellar. In the US that's even worse. At best that's gonna be another great waste of taxpayers money, at worst this is quite scary.
I was expecting Brandon to buy enough vaccines to supply 1 vaccine to every American once a year. The dude is literally senile and should be in a nursing home, not at the WH. Of course he wants more vaccines. I was not expecting 3 shots though.
Oh my god for a virus that mutated past the "vaccine" over a year ago?
Damn, if we ever get an honest reckoning! I've long since ran out of expletives to describe how far past "crime of the century" we are but these fuckers refuse to stop digging.
Exactly! I heard Dr. McCullough describe the original virus as extinct, and since the vaccines were supposedly designed for that first version of the virus, he said the vaccines were at this point useless, especially for the now-dominant Omicron (which is quite possibly just a yearly flu). Yet no one ever brings this up.
yep. Health Canada has recently approved new non mRNA vaccines though (so why 400 millions shots of Pfizer ?!?). Only those should have been offered. mRNA stuff should go to hell and slowly burn there. I want Moderna to be wiped out as a company too.
Im not trusting anything the mf’ers put out now, mRNA or not! In fact, I’ve completely lost faith & trust in doctors, hospitals, the healthcare system in general.
I keep kind of wondering what health & life insurers will do if the government again tries to force everyone to get vax’d.
On the one hand, they KNOW the poison is damaging & killing people - w/ more short & long term side effect surprises to come - so how can you insure those people, except the government telling them they have to & to discriminate against the unvax’d @ the same time???
Those insurers will KNOW the only people they should be insuring for life &/or health are the UNvax’d….
the problem is really with the mRNA though. New tech they give to billions of people without testing properly. The mantra : if it can go wrong it will, is true here. there's no reason to assume pharma want to kill people. on the contrary, they want you well alive to take more pills from them. someone dead is one less consumer. they screwed up because they were careless and greedy. simple as that.
You may be right, but I’m not so sure. For all of the technology, there are many, many more drugs to “treat” than to “cure” anything. If everything could be cured, lots of $$ lost there.
I happen to believe all of this is a depopulation agenda but I know there would be many who disagree. Why would the healthcare industry & Pharma so completely damage trust & credibility otherwise unless they flat out didn’t care.
The only thing outside of my own depopulation belief is that there will be plenty of new damaging health issues to “treat” because of the poisons now in the coming years to keep the spigots gushing. Either scenario is still the epitomy of evil & crimes against humanity, IMO
I don't trust anything rushed through on an EUA, including monoclonal antibodies.
The way pro-pharma articles read, they've completely abandoned any pretence of testing or caution - now development can happen in weeks or months, no problem!
Same old. The West has been officially bankrupt since 2008. Its raison d'etre is inventing scenarios (war, pandemics) to transfer imaginary money from "govt" to "private" sectors to make it appear functional.
don't know. considering Asia had some of the worst lockdowns (Hong Kong will be back in total shutdown in the next days, mandatory testing of all the population, because of "cases") it's certainly not just an issue of the western world. South Asia will likely enforce masking for years (masks are mandatory if you're alone on the beach in Thailand right now). they will kill their tourism industry and part of their economy.
I don't think this is a problem of the west only and hence cannot really be linked to our financial situation.
We don't have a financial situation: We have fantasy. Everything in your first paragraph assumes order. $2/litre gasoline... intermittant electricity, water, sewage...
Boosters and tourism will be as relevent as voting
I read something the other day about how a huge stash of pre-purchased vaccines were getting close to their expiration date. This might be behind the current rush to scare more people into getting vaccinated. Or re-vaccinated. One ad I heard today urged people to get a vaccine if you are 2 months beyond your last J&J shot, and 6 months beyond the others. No mention of "booster", just "get vaccinated again, age 5 and up, hurry hurry hurry." That was followed by another ad with a 20 year old girl with a sad, weary voice talking about how she got Covid a year ago, and how even walking makes it difficult for her to breathe properly, and her thinking is muddled, and her life would never be the same. " Get your vaccine, don't let this happen to you. Be safe." Blah blah blah.
I hate to say it, but anyone so gullible that they will take 3 Covid boosters a year, given all the info that is out there now, is probably a Darwin award candidate anyway.
Not gullible. Scared and ignorant. "Given all the info that is out there now." Really? Where do you think people are getting their news? Even my anti-vax friends have no idea of the most recent developments from Malone, Kirsch, etc. The mainstream media is completely censored. I told me friend that I was getting information from substack. about Russia's gripes about NATO expansion. I could see she was beginning to believe me until she checked Politifact and told me that substack was totally corrupt and shouldn't be trusted. Really? Is that how you treat information that is disagreeing with your beliefs? I think open discussion (which we are now having) is the way to go. She said but that way some idiots will continue to believe in falsehoods. I said Let them. There are always a few people that believe the earth is flat. If we permit frank, open discussion perhaps we can come to decide on the truths. I think she still wanted to maintain a self righteous censorship. I then said that we (U.S. and Biden) were claiming to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I used this quote from a British humorist, P.G. Wodehouse: "Thrusting my nose firmly between his teeth, I drew him to the ground on top of me." She replied, "You go girl!" We parted on still friendly terms.
Er…we were talking about Darwin awards & some people too stupid to live. Not my call, Gorgo but if people keep getting injected 3x a year w/ those poisons…they probably won’t live long. Get a grip
Understood but those evil folks making the poisons and committing the murders eventually will come for us. They're simply harvesting the low hanging stupid fruit at this point.
I realized I was not getting a seat on the shuttle for the survivors of Earth's last days some years back. So many disqualifications. So in a way I am on the that other list.
Yeah the more they print the more the money in your bank account is devalued. It's the ultimate stealth tax, especially on the lower class as they're incapable of moving capital around to avoid these things.
The fact that they created a National Vax Plan should worry everyone. This is clearly driven by Big Pharma and the WEF-inspired elite (Gates, Soros, et al). All US agencies are captured. Biden is just a senile Manchurian candidate. A national vax plan that has yet to address VAERS and DMED, and hasn't even waited until all trials officially end, is not only unethical but not based on science. EVIL people.
I see degrees of restrictions and mandates. Perhaps, Mexico would be a safer option in the long run. I've considered it for myself as I approach retirement in the near future. But I'm also fully bilingual (Puerto Rican), so the transition/adjustment would be easier for me.
God's protection is in His hands. But it is instructive to ask: what can we do? The Prophet Jeremiah gives us God's answer to that quesiton in Jer 18:8. And, let the 'turn from evil' begin with me.
"If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them." (Jer 18:8)
In the United States, it probably won't come to that (Substackers and such landing in prison, that is). They seem to take their First Amendment reasonably seriously over there. Europe (excluding the UK - or at least England - and maybe Scandinavia) is a different story entirely. Basically, free speech is to Americans what kimchi is to Koreans (i.e. essential). On the other hand, free speech to is Europeans what kimchi is to Europeans: a foreign import that's nice to have, but can easily be done without if it gets expensive. Things could get really ugly for those of us on the continent.
Speaking of - I heard Monica Perez on her podcast refer to some book she was reading that outlines the corruption and propaganda of Time magazine through the years, but she neglected to provide a name or author.
I feel like the crowd here might be familiar - anybody know what book she may have been referring to?
Are you sure it was about Time magazine and not the New York Times? Because there's an interesting book I'm currently reading titled the Gray Lady Winked which is about the corruption and propaganda of the NYT.
I saw the author of that book (Ashley Rindsberg) interviewed a couple of days ago. The NYT has a horrendous history that most people know nothing about.
I'm pretty sure she said Time, but that's the second time I've heard someone rec Gray Lady Winked so I'll have to check that out, thanks!
Monica does seem to refer to obscure books but too often forgets to actually give her listeners enough details for us to look them up! They typically aren't the sort of books that Google will serve up unless keywords are very specific.
As for me, I want to see them dangle. This minute.
A Guillotine works well too
I would prefer a slow and painful death. Maybe death by 1000 jabs. Or however long it takes
The guillotine can certainly be modified to be slow and painful. Start at the toes and fingers, for example.
Very true, good point. I’ve never been one to understand the lure of watching a public execution, but I’m starting to.
Same here.
I just want the whole truth about the 'efficacy' and side effects to become widely available and appreciated. The TRUTH! The bare truth will be enough punishment for all of them!
So thank You, Eugyppius, Igor Chudov, NakedEmperor, ElGatoMalo, AlexBerenson, SteveKirsch, RWMalone, Dr McCullough and really everybody that keeps on speaking out.
And if the vaccines are indeed safe and effective, I will happily accept to be a stupid asshole and still stay unvaxxed as a personal self-punishment.

All have the chance to repent. Some may.
But when they don't, PW&LP (piano wire and a lamp post) will do just fine.

Often it's exercise, good food, and enough rest. A non-stressed mindset doesn't hurt, either. Some people just seem to be blessed with "Good genes."
I suffered from chronic respiratory infections and allergies. I had pneumonia 3 or 4 times. That all stopped when I started taking high dose vitamin C. Some people do respond well to some drugs or supplements.
For me there is a distinction between drugs and supplements. I take supplements to great effect and don’t do drugs.
Big Pharma and the FDA are now working to convert supplements into drugs. Abracadabra! Your supplement is now a drug and requires a prescription. They don't want cheap, over the counter competition for their expensive pharmaceuticals. They did this with their B6 priridoxine supplement. Last year they succeeded in taking NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) off the market--a supplement I have been taking for many years which improves breathing (I have COPD). Now they are threatening to make vitamin D3 illegal. Anything that might threaten their stranglehold over safe and effective vaccinations as the only way to treat Covid (vitamin D3 has been shown effective in reducing or eliminating the infection). If they can't eliminate access or forbid access to a supplement--they are going to censor any claims that a supplement is effective (not allowed to put any information about what a supplement is for on its label). Or they are going to claim that you don't need supplements and the RDA is sufficient. You can get everything you need from your diet! Oh yes. When 90% of the U.S. is deficient in iodine and iodized salt is barely enough to prevent goiter with an RDA of 6 mcg when you really need 10 times as much to prevent thyroid problems. But oh no. Salt can cause hypertension. Dr. David Brownstein has written 3 books on thyroid, iodine, and salt.
Interesting. How much C do you take out of curiosity?
Linus Pauling, who promoted vitamin C, stated that each person has their own individual dose. Get buffered vitamin C because it's easier to absorb. A good product is Nutribiotic Sodium Ascorbate. 1/8 tsp equals 500 mg. Start with this dose. Increase daily until your stool becomes very soft. That is your individual dose. I take 3000 or 4000 mg. daily. When I stop, I get respiratory symptoms again. However, you will need a higher dose if you get an infection. And when you are healthy, you will need less. When I take too much, I get diarrhea.
The average life expectancy is 78 or so for US males -- maybe a bit higher now. That means half the population dies before that. Your friends are just dying normally, but the meds are artificially propping them up.
That may be.
I sense an attitude among many, especially boomers, of dependency on the HC industry to keep them alive (not healthy, but still living) and a lack of responsibility for doing it themselves.
That attitude seems to have been born after WW2 with the advent of new drugs and the miraculous outcomes they produced at the time.
Doctors became gods dispensing their magic bullets for what we now consider relatively minor maladies.
The HC industry comprises almost 20% of the US GDP, probably more after this p(l)andemic fiasco, so it isn't just BIG business, it's YUGE.
Like any busines, it tends to want to grow, and grow, it has.
I've always shrugged of the notion that there are simple cures out there for diseases that are costly and kill, but BIG HC has suppressed that info in order to further their business plans.
I just couldn't imagine an entire industry to be that evil.
After C19, I do believe it.
Here's an example.
Why is this not a major headline around the world???
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7505114/
Oh, and where are the trials to prove that it either works or doesn't work in vivo as well as in vitro?
Just found out that Big Pharma pays doctors for vaccinations! Your doctor has now become a dealer for Big Pharma at your expense. Unbiased advice seems to be a thing of the past.
Well, California now threatens to take away licenses if doctors DON'T advise vaccinations. So they are caught between a rock and a hard place.
Yes, it often does come down to lifestyle choices. My 87-year-old mom is super fit physically and mentally, bikes and/or walks every day, goes to the gym twice a week, takes no medications (and refuses to get the Covid jab) but has been taking supplements for decades. She's a voracious reader and also enjoys researching her various areas of interest online. She's always led a very healthy lifestyle and the results clearly speak for themselves.
My mom was like that. She was reading Adele Davis in the early 1960s and we all got into the vitamin habit as kids, especially Vitamin C. She never took meds and was driving her car until she was 93. She never ate junk food at all, just a basic home cook making meat, veggies, salads, etc. No packaged foods. She made it to 95.
Wonderful! People like our moms are such great role models and inspirations!
I worked for Pfizer for one summer (as a typist temp) when I was in graduate school, around 1969. Pfizer at that time was flogging Terracortril (steroid for skin problems) and Terramycin (antibiotic). I went to the doctor for a respiratory infection and proudly told him I worked for Pfizer thinking "I have joined the medical club!" My doctor wasn't too thrilled, though. He said, It seems your company is really pushing Terramycin. I'll let you try it." I got this sort of vibe: "You guys are bugging me constantly to push your products--so go ahead and take some of your own medicine!" I got very sick from this antibiotic. Terrific diarrhea, indigestion, tired, exhausted--I decided I would rather have the cold. I did love working for Pfizer, though. Everyone was nice to me. I loved my boss. I loved my work--cataloging medical papers, typing memos, etc. My boss even gave me very good advice. I liked cataloging ads in medical journals better than typing papers, and my boss told me always prioritize. "Work on the most important tasks, first. I need you to finish my correspondence before you collect the ads." Very good advice--and I have been using it ever since.
If memory serves Terramycin was know to cause photosensitivity which means you may have been advised to avoid being out in direct sunlight. Antibiotics are know to destroy the good gut flora that along with staying out of the sun might have meant your gut microbiome was just blamed fagged out. Your poor immune system tried to tell you. I'd have picked the cold too.
ESPECIALLY since antibiotics are worthless against viral infections
Yes indeed.
At one point they probably weren't PURE evil.
I agree—and I’m 77 this month and like you, don’t take any drugs, am fit, etc. BUT, part of the problem in the USA is that food policy needs to be removed from the USDA as there are competing interests. Back in the early 1980s Louise Light was hired to come up with the first food pyramid—and the committee she put together recommended 3 carb servings for a woman—a serving is 1/2 cup. The top of the USDA changed that to 9 servings—and Light said “you’ll make everyone fat.” So think about how most eat now: cereal breakfast, sandwich lunch, pasta dinner, etc. Add in fake foods that were allowed by rule changes and NO discussion or laws. In American, the school lunch programs are a travesity of bad food. Diets in too many nursing homes have too much cheap foods, which are carb based. The balance my grandparents had with regard to eating is totally lost—along with clean foods raised so they have good nutrition. I could go on.
Meat, potatoes and a vegetable, usually with a small glass of milk for me.
That's what I cook for my bride and myself for lunch.
She has an egg for bfast, I have toast.
Supper is usually something light that she comes up with quickly.
We both are self-employed and take turns cooking.
I am fairly certain that a good number of the drugs taken are to resolve or minimize an effect from another drug.
My sister in law was surprised that at the age of 63 I take only 2 medications. One of which is for my M.S. She told me the 5 medications she was on and later I looked up and found that my suspicions that one of those drugs were the reason she had to go on some of other drugs was correct. Yet you can be sure the doctor never discussed that possibility with her. Instead she was just told she would have to be on them for very long term.
I don't know how people live like that. It's not living. It's merely existing. Even those couple of weeks every few years when I tweek my back and can't do much, I hardly want to go on. Doing nothing? And to know you did it to yourself? I can't imagine.
"The problem" isn't just Big Pharma. The problem is the machine created by ObamaCare that gives power (15-20% of GDP pays off A LOT of politicians and bureaucrats) to the public-private partnership of Pharma-Insurance-Government and Science(tm). Their acronym PIGS is appropriate, as they wallow in their trough of money, corruption and filth.
Less government = More Liberty
OINK!
Big Pharma is just the natural successor to Big Tobacco but with peer reviewed credibility
This isn't about Big Pharma. They're a small part of the overall phenomenon.
Thank you. We are going to need God’s intervention, it appears.
A wee bit of smiting would not be amiss.
Prison would be too kind for these criminals. They have grossly underestimated the level of absolute disgust & hatred they created for themselves.
Robert Malone did a "review" of the article from NY State. He approached it as he has for hundreds of articles or proposals he has reviewed over the years. For someone outside the medical field, it is hard to penetrate their style of discourse.
"Peer review example: “Effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine among children”
Having written hundreds of requested peer reviews, I am offering my unsolicited one.

I read this. It really helped me to understand how to properly review studies and how studies are manipulated. Trust the science, HA!
He should post it at PubPeer. PubPeer is potentially a disruptive instrument for positive change.
From his review, in reference to their call for continued mask wearing, "At this point, I have lost confidence in the objectivity of the article and the authors, who have clearly demonstrated a lack of objectivity. They have written the relevance section in a way that demonstrates that they have an agenda. Now let’s look at the authors, their affiliation, and potential conflicts of interest."
He goes on to list the authors. Would it surprise you to find out that they are all woman? I am sad to write, it did not surprise me.
You just hate women. Lol.
Well I admit to loathing a certain type. You've seen them. Strutting around wearing white shoes after Labor Day. The fall of civilizations begin with such disregard for the established norms of culture. What they do in their own homes is their business. They can put drink glasses down on the wood furniture, for all I care. In public there are children watching. What about them!?
Whoops, not all of them. Mea culpa.

Eugyppius,
The creative well does not have unplumbed depths.
I hope you will take a moment of this brief pause to also feed your body and soul. Though our minds are continually replenished with new thoughts, the expression of those thoughts in words can be exhausting. You have brought a great group of subscribers together. We can feed off each other’s comments till your next post.
For those commenters out there reading this, thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on this forum. It lifts my spirits immensely to know I’m not alone in my observations of the world in it current form.
thanks so much bro.
going annual... The content is great. I am now looking for substacks on any number of my interests. It's simply a buffet for the mind.
What a great post! I whole-heartedly agree with every word. Thank you!
In the UK we are ploughing money into vaccine research too. This time to cut development time to 100 days because we spent far too much time looking at safety previously!
To that regard, here is a first look at the Pfizer trial data. Turns out the vaccine did go to all of your organs after all.
https://nakedemperor.substack.com/p/pfizers-latest-data-release?s=w
Canada has already bought something like 10 vaccine shots for every Canadian. So far the booster uptake here is not stellar. In the US that's even worse. At best that's gonna be another great waste of taxpayers money, at worst this is quite scary.
I was expecting Brandon to buy enough vaccines to supply 1 vaccine to every American once a year. The dude is literally senile and should be in a nursing home, not at the WH. Of course he wants more vaccines. I was not expecting 3 shots though.
Oh my god for a virus that mutated past the "vaccine" over a year ago?
Damn, if we ever get an honest reckoning! I've long since ran out of expletives to describe how far past "crime of the century" we are but these fuckers refuse to stop digging.
Exactly! I heard Dr. McCullough describe the original virus as extinct, and since the vaccines were supposedly designed for that first version of the virus, he said the vaccines were at this point useless, especially for the now-dominant Omicron (which is quite possibly just a yearly flu). Yet no one ever brings this up.
yep. Health Canada has recently approved new non mRNA vaccines though (so why 400 millions shots of Pfizer ?!?). Only those should have been offered. mRNA stuff should go to hell and slowly burn there. I want Moderna to be wiped out as a company too.
Im not trusting anything the mf’ers put out now, mRNA or not! In fact, I’ve completely lost faith & trust in doctors, hospitals, the healthcare system in general.
I keep kind of wondering what health & life insurers will do if the government again tries to force everyone to get vax’d.
On the one hand, they KNOW the poison is damaging & killing people - w/ more short & long term side effect surprises to come - so how can you insure those people, except the government telling them they have to & to discriminate against the unvax’d @ the same time???
Those insurers will KNOW the only people they should be insuring for life &/or health are the UNvax’d….
the problem is really with the mRNA though. New tech they give to billions of people without testing properly. The mantra : if it can go wrong it will, is true here. there's no reason to assume pharma want to kill people. on the contrary, they want you well alive to take more pills from them. someone dead is one less consumer. they screwed up because they were careless and greedy. simple as that.
You may be right, but I’m not so sure. For all of the technology, there are many, many more drugs to “treat” than to “cure” anything. If everything could be cured, lots of $$ lost there.
I happen to believe all of this is a depopulation agenda but I know there would be many who disagree. Why would the healthcare industry & Pharma so completely damage trust & credibility otherwise unless they flat out didn’t care.
The only thing outside of my own depopulation belief is that there will be plenty of new damaging health issues to “treat” because of the poisons now in the coming years to keep the spigots gushing. Either scenario is still the epitomy of evil & crimes against humanity, IMO
I don't trust anything rushed through on an EUA, including monoclonal antibodies.
The way pro-pharma articles read, they've completely abandoned any pretence of testing or caution - now development can happen in weeks or months, no problem!
Same old. The West has been officially bankrupt since 2008. Its raison d'etre is inventing scenarios (war, pandemics) to transfer imaginary money from "govt" to "private" sectors to make it appear functional.
don't know. considering Asia had some of the worst lockdowns (Hong Kong will be back in total shutdown in the next days, mandatory testing of all the population, because of "cases") it's certainly not just an issue of the western world. South Asia will likely enforce masking for years (masks are mandatory if you're alone on the beach in Thailand right now). they will kill their tourism industry and part of their economy.
I don't think this is a problem of the west only and hence cannot really be linked to our financial situation.
We don't have a financial situation: We have fantasy. Everything in your first paragraph assumes order. $2/litre gasoline... intermittant electricity, water, sewage...
Boosters and tourism will be as relevent as voting
I read something the other day about how a huge stash of pre-purchased vaccines were getting close to their expiration date. This might be behind the current rush to scare more people into getting vaccinated. Or re-vaccinated. One ad I heard today urged people to get a vaccine if you are 2 months beyond your last J&J shot, and 6 months beyond the others. No mention of "booster", just "get vaccinated again, age 5 and up, hurry hurry hurry." That was followed by another ad with a 20 year old girl with a sad, weary voice talking about how she got Covid a year ago, and how even walking makes it difficult for her to breathe properly, and her thinking is muddled, and her life would never be the same. " Get your vaccine, don't let this happen to you. Be safe." Blah blah blah.
There is no "Booster".
It is the original formular that's near the end of its Best if Used by Date.
I snap at people who say "Be SAaaaaaaaafe" now. I can't stand it. A good reply: "No, I'd rather be bold and take chances".
Well, she would probably have the same symptoms if she did get vaccinated.
If depopulation & early death &/or sterility of children are the goals, the more you jab (3x a year?!) the faster all of that is accomplished….
I hate to say it, but anyone so gullible that they will take 3 Covid boosters a year, given all the info that is out there now, is probably a Darwin award candidate anyway.
Not gullible. Scared and ignorant. "Given all the info that is out there now." Really? Where do you think people are getting their news? Even my anti-vax friends have no idea of the most recent developments from Malone, Kirsch, etc. The mainstream media is completely censored. I told me friend that I was getting information from substack. about Russia's gripes about NATO expansion. I could see she was beginning to believe me until she checked Politifact and told me that substack was totally corrupt and shouldn't be trusted. Really? Is that how you treat information that is disagreeing with your beliefs? I think open discussion (which we are now having) is the way to go. She said but that way some idiots will continue to believe in falsehoods. I said Let them. There are always a few people that believe the earth is flat. If we permit frank, open discussion perhaps we can come to decide on the truths. I think she still wanted to maintain a self righteous censorship. I then said that we (U.S. and Biden) were claiming to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. I used this quote from a British humorist, P.G. Wodehouse: "Thrusting my nose firmly between his teeth, I drew him to the ground on top of me." She replied, "You go girl!" We parted on still friendly terms.
Some depopulation might not be a bad thing 😂
And just who is to decide who goes and who stays? What if it is you and your family that gets marked for extermination? Wake the heck up.
Er…we were talking about Darwin awards & some people too stupid to live. Not my call, Gorgo but if people keep getting injected 3x a year w/ those poisons…they probably won’t live long. Get a grip
Understood but those evil folks making the poisons and committing the murders eventually will come for us. They're simply harvesting the low hanging stupid fruit at this point.
I realized I was not getting a seat on the shuttle for the survivors of Earth's last days some years back. So many disqualifications. So in a way I am on the that other list.
I'd really enjoy watching a depopulation of the criminal elites who participate in this.
Unfortunately they’ve probably all gotten saline injections
Or maybe a "good" batch?
I'm not sure it's even taxpayer money any more, they just print it up as they need it.
It IS taxpayer money; running the printing presses is just a slow tax via inflation.
Yeah the more they print the more the money in your bank account is devalued. It's the ultimate stealth tax, especially on the lower class as they're incapable of moving capital around to avoid these things.
Government's best reason for existence is to waste taxpayer money.
Thank you for the prayer and inspiring photo. May the Light guide our way....

My god. Eugyppius, you do have a way of shaking me to my core. This is horrifying.
The fact that they created a National Vax Plan should worry everyone. This is clearly driven by Big Pharma and the WEF-inspired elite (Gates, Soros, et al). All US agencies are captured. Biden is just a senile Manchurian candidate. A national vax plan that has yet to address VAERS and DMED, and hasn't even waited until all trials officially end, is not only unethical but not based on science. EVIL people.
I’m in Canada and my family thinks I need to get out and come back to the States. I think nowhere is safe. Last night proves that even more.
I see degrees of restrictions and mandates. Perhaps, Mexico would be a safer option in the long run. I've considered it for myself as I approach retirement in the near future. But I'm also fully bilingual (Puerto Rican), so the transition/adjustment would be easier for me.
If you're unvaccinated how will you leave Canada?
I’m an American citizen so hoping that’d help. Land crossing.
God's protection is in His hands. But it is instructive to ask: what can we do? The Prophet Jeremiah gives us God's answer to that quesiton in Jer 18:8. And, let the 'turn from evil' begin with me.
"If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them." (Jer 18:8)
Hang Fauci and RESIST ... !!!!
if you see them in prison then you will be there too? i guess as a terrorist for disinformation
i think there is a serious chance some of us end up in prison. things will only get more extreme in the coming years
Theys gonna be blood spilt afore that.

In the United States, it probably won't come to that (Substackers and such landing in prison, that is). They seem to take their First Amendment reasonably seriously over there. Europe (excluding the UK - or at least England - and maybe Scandinavia) is a different story entirely. Basically, free speech is to Americans what kimchi is to Koreans (i.e. essential). On the other hand, free speech to is Europeans what kimchi is to Europeans: a foreign import that's nice to have, but can easily be done without if it gets expensive. Things could get really ugly for those of us on the continent.
Your comment is a good reinforcement for fighting to keep our 2A rights.

Sadly, I agree that this is most likely
I look forward to the book reviews.
Speaking of - I heard Monica Perez on her podcast refer to some book she was reading that outlines the corruption and propaganda of Time magazine through the years, but she neglected to provide a name or author.
I feel like the crowd here might be familiar - anybody know what book she may have been referring to?
Are you sure it was about Time magazine and not the New York Times? Because there's an interesting book I'm currently reading titled the Gray Lady Winked which is about the corruption and propaganda of the NYT.
I saw the author of that book (Ashley Rindsberg) interviewed a couple of days ago. The NYT has a horrendous history that most people know nothing about.
I'm pretty sure she said Time, but that's the second time I've heard someone rec Gray Lady Winked so I'll have to check that out, thanks!
Monica does seem to refer to obscure books but too often forgets to actually give her listeners enough details for us to look them up! They typically aren't the sort of books that Google will serve up unless keywords are very specific.
