When they were able to convince people that healthy individuals were transmitters of disease- "asymptomatic spread"- I knew we were in deep trouble.

The other one that could be considered the prime symbology of the entire fraud was The Mask.

When they were able to convince large swaths of people that putting a mask over your breathing apparatus was a legitimate health intervention (as if trapping fungal colonies, bacterial colonies on your face and increasing CO2 were good for one's health) I knew we were deep into cultic thinking.

Thank you for your amazing work! I look forward to reading your Substacks as soon as they are delivered. Can’t wait to learn more from your hard work in 2023!

As a dentist who woke up to the massive corruption in 2020, I am just now embarking on the harms of fluoride. What boggles my mind is the number of patients I serve that don’t use any type of fluoride and only shop Whole Foods who then lined up for these injections and multiple boosters. I can’t wrap my head around the insanity that surrounds us!

My favorite of the idiotic videos you posted is the Stephen Cobert. He’s front and center in this lie of a skit....something that will not age well!

I was that guy....remember the friend you had in 2004 who wouldn’t shut up about a “housing bubble” and kept trying to present proof to anyone who’d listen? I got very accustomed to being laughed at and disregarded. Of course, the bubble was legit, popped hard and took the world economy with it. This time, I started out tapping away with all my arguments against getting an experimental shot. For a few months people were open to listening and debating. But soon, in the face of billions of dollars of propaganda they shut me out, looked down their noses at me, and started saying I should be fired and barred from venues and my kids kicked out of school. It got personal fast. Midwestern Doctor (my FAVORITE Substacker) says only 5-10% of people are capable of critical thinking and going against the tide. It’s a lonely world trying to follow reality.

After spending all of my adult years in the medical device industry - many 510k and PMA trials - I was completely shocked to see how FDA managed this “vaccine” roll out. Their “...horse wormer...y’all ...” post sums it all up - should be #1 document to the effort of public manipulation. Made me insane with anger.

"The vaccinated are better lovers." I am at a loss for words, and this rarely happens!!

Also, to add to your collection.

I was amazed that NOT ONE public health expert spoke of trying to improve your individual health via losing weight, exercise, proper diet, vitamins/supplements, plenty of fresh air and sunshine, quality sleep, etc, to MAYBE prevent you from getting ill to begin with or at least lessen your symptoms! The "junk food for vax" and literal bribery campaigns topped it off. All we heard was isolate yourself, stay inside your house and watch TV to stay up-to-date of the horrors happening outside your doors, be scared of EVERYONE you come in contact with, constantly use antibacterial hand santizer (for a virus?), cover your face and breathe your own waste, even while alone, don't dare go to your church, just live in FEAR until on a medical miracle called a "vaccine" is created to "protect" you. Fear inhibits your immune system, along with every other thing the CDC recommended. It was NEVER about saving any lives!

Such a good roundup. I was an antivaxxer preCOVID so I thought I was ready but wow there were some real jaw dropping idiotic moments. The donuts! The online dating badges! The D-listers in TikTok! Stephen Colbert!

I saw a billboard in Houston in May

-Avoid the “you can’t come to our wedding” drama

It started when they claimed they could develop a "safe and effective" vaccine at "warp speed" when we know the process takes around 10. I started out at "red alert" stage and it just magnified from there.

I thought the propaganda campaign was brilliant. It appealed to the right crowd. I hope they all take their boosters, twice.

It’s the mandates that are the problem.

Please, don’t keep Colbert or Kimmels audience from getting 5 boosters. They’re absolutely doing the right thing.

Scrolling through that was demoralizing. I could have gone my whole life without seeing how ridiculous our society is and been happier for it. I never would’ve have believed it if I hadn’t seen it.

I was in the grocery store yesterday and a lovely commercial came on reminding all of us shoppers that we needed to remember to get the new bivalent booster so that we can all be “safe and protected this winter“. I considered walking up to the pharmacists and asking them if they knew the “vaccine” was only tested on 8 mice and then asking if they were taking personal responsibility for injuries. I didn’t because I’m pretty sure that only a small handful of the people in that big ole store probably were still getting boosters. I did wonder if the pharmacists have been humbled knowing that it’s all garbage or if they still have faith in their profession.

I’m not exactly sure how to proceed through life knowing that most of the messages we hear are completely fake, manipulative, and intended to herd us around. The covid virus is scary (for a small portion of the population) but the way humanity reacted was far more frightening and will have far longer lasting repercussions. Looking back over my life’s time, I fell for many lies. I believe nothing coming from mainstream sources now.

It's shocking to me that people I considered intelligent and perceptive didn't heed a major red flag in the beginning - the measures purported to control the virus were more likely to make it spread.

Melbourne had one of the longest and strictest lockdowns. For months on end, we were allowed outside to exercise for an hour per day with a face mask on. My husband, a highly cited researcher and university professor in a scientific discipline, wore his fully fitted when we were by ourselves on a deserted beach. I had a pretty good idea back then that this city was in big trouble, not because of any virus.

Joe Rogan also picked up something I noticed here - the lack of advice to reduce sugar intake. The long lockdown would surely increase the incidence of comfort eating and alcohol consumption. When I went to get wine, I'd give my phone number for the membership discount and the cashier joked he should know it by heart. I joked back that I blamed it on the lockdown. He said, "You wouldn't be alone in that".

We knew early on obesity was a major risk factor for hospitalisation. Just as Berenson said happened in NY, playgrounds were taped up here too. Melbourne has a lot of medium/high density housing and a significant population who have darker skin. Mid 2020, the MSM put out an article referring to a flaky study discrediting vitamin D as a protective factor against Covid. That was the clincher for me, that what was going on was deliberate and heinous.

It's been going on for a long time.

The sugar industry paid three Harvard professors to demonise saturated fat, leaving the population deficient in fat soluble vitamins A and D, which are partners and should be high normal. This heinous lie has IMO done more damage to our health than anything, a major driver in the increase in heart disease, cancer and autoimmune conditions.

Statins are a trillion dollar industry and it's easy to see how pharma worked out the most lucrative strategy was medicating healthy people. These past two years, they've achieved the ultimate goal of turning most of the world's population into patients, including healthy children.

This is part of an email I received from the TGA in response to my question, asking for robust data that the benefits of the mRNA drugs outweigh the risks for children:

“As background, the TGA’s provisional approval pathway was introduced to enable earlier access to promising new medicines while data on longer term efficacy and safety are still being gathered. Use of this pathway balances the benefits in enabling earlier access for patients against the potential risks inherent to the fact that additional data are required”.

The TGA is saying it’s OK to give what Pfizer and Moderna’s SEC filing documents say the FDA considers to be gene therapy to healthy children as young as six months; a therapy that, according to their own documents, wasn’t tested for safety in genotoxicity, carcinogenicity or reproductive health.

My husband has always been a stickler for safety. He got irritated a year ago when I kept trying to talk to him about Maddie de Garay. He said if they stopped at one case, they'd never get a product out. I asked if he understood the key difference - that we're not talking about getting medicine to desperately ill children but giving it to healthy ones. (I'd already sent him a link to the John Hopkins study). He said something non committal.

Melbourne was out of lockdown in time for the racing carnival and since then, respiratory infections (in summer) have become so common people don't bother to test any more. Triple, quadruple jabbed relatives and friends are repeatedly coming down with infections.

My husband finally looked at Pfizer's six month data, listened to the FDA ADCOM on boosters and no longer believes the Covid shots are safe and effective. He hasn't had a booster and wrote in capital letters on the form that he didn't want his father to have any more shots either.

Just now, I told him what I was writing about and repeated the most shocking thing he'd said a year ago:

"You'd need about ten Maddie de Garays".

I asked him if he could now see how insane that was and he said, "Not from a statistician's point of view". (He had originally told me what he said was from a medic's point of view, that I needed to understand how doctors think).

I think the most difficult thing for people like my husband to accept, those who called people like me insane (as my husband did but has since apologised) is that all along it was the other way around.

If it wasn't for America being insanely armed i belive they would have tried the Rawanda model. Thank God for Mutually Asuured Destruction. It works for nations as well as neighbors.

Well done Midwest Doc. It will make for a good chapter in your future book of 'lessons learned from recent history.'

The term for your proposed governance is 'Subsidiarity' from Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville:

"Decentralization has, not only an administrative value, but also a civic dimension, since it increases the opportunities for citizens to take interest in public affairs; it makes them get accustomed to using freedom. And from the accumulation of these local, active, persnickety freedoms, is born the most efficient counterweight against the claims of the central government, even if it were supported by an impersonal, collective will."

When I saw the title of this article, I knew I had to jump in:

Perhaps the most recent insane piece of vaccine propaganda I've seen was that "study" that seemed to purport that vaccinated people get into less accidents.

I mean...seriously!

https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(22)00822-1/fulltext

The so-called "study" is titled, "COVID Vaccine Hesitancy and Risk of a Traffic Crash," and while I haven't yet read it, I did watch this takedown:

Here's a more complete takedown (though I haven't watched it):

More takedowns can be found here:

There are probably some others I can mention (such as how the initially-reported 95% efficacy is a relative figure, not an absolute one), but really...this one is so bizzare that it deserves to stand as its own comment.

I will say, though, that if I do read this study, and come to the same conclusions as others, then not only is the 'study' itself appalling, but it's a stain on the field of scientific literature.

I read an article that stated that the people who got the vaccine in early 2021 had XYZ percent protection left, those who got it recently had ABC percent, and "of course, the unvaccinated are completely unprotected." The statement literally denies the existence of the human immune system!
