My virtual German buddy Eugyppius has a fascinating Stack today on a paper showing smart people were more likely to take the mRNA jabs.

The study drew on 750,000 Swedish men who were tested for their intelligence as part of their mandatory military service. The findings are clear: “The smarter participants had higher uptake and they got vaccinated more quickly.”

But the study has one fascinating hole. It shows smart people were more likely to take the jab - but not that the smartest people were. As Eugyppius notes, the top group represented

The equivalent of an above-average university student – the kinds of people who work as doctors and lawyers. We hardly needed a study to tell us that the most enthusiastic vaccinees are to be found precisely in this population.

Yep.

What the study really explains, Eugyppius argues, is why near-compulsory mRNA jabs became national policy in wealthy democracies. In those countries, this smart-not-smartest group dominates politics and most businesses (if not startups).

He draws on a 1985 paper called “Intelligence and personal influence in groups” to argue that the most intelligent people cannot argue down persuasively and so have limited influence.

Instead, people who are somewhat smarter than average, with an IQ of about 120 (I’d go slightly higher, to 125-130), dominate debate. They can understand - if not formulate - somewhat complicated ideas and still argue them in ways less intelligent people can follow. The smart-not-brilliant range also contains enough people to form powerful and reinforcing social networks. The very top definitionally does not.

As Eugyppius writes:

"Ours is therefore an IQ 120 midwit society; it could not be any other way… since our midwit rulers are cognitively better endowed than probably 90% of the whole population, it’s easy for them to overlook the rare 10% of people who are smarter than they are. Accordingly, they throw all of their opponents into the same basket of intellectual deplorables…

The ideas which dominate our world are… those ideas which appeal to people whose intelligence is above average if less-than-phenomenal, and whose other personality traits optimise their institutional influence. They have the brains of upper middle-class professionals, and they’re also much more extroverted, conscientious and conformist than the broader population." [emphasis added]

I would add that though the paper was written in 1985, the increasing feminization of the media, academia, and medicine has likely accelerated this trend. I am surprised Eugyppius did not raise this issue, given his past comments about “head girls.” Maybe E is not in the mood to cause trouble today; I apparently am. ...

Many studies have shown that male intelligence is more polarized than women’s, especially in math and science. This skew seems biologically logical given that the potential Darwinian payoff for a man who is physically or intellectually exceptional is huge. DNA analysis has found Genghis Khan’s genes are present in 16 million men.

Here’s one recent paper showing sex differences in intelligence, from those notorious sexists at Duke University’s Talent Identification Program. You will not be surprised to hear that Duke’s servers no longer host the paper. Luckily, the Wayback Machine still does.



Not to put too fine a point on it, a skewed distribution at the right tail means the geniuses are mostly men. Not all. But mostly. (There. I said it.) The results are obvious in competitive open intellectual environments like chess, where men continue to dominate despite decades of efforts to recruit women.

(This distribution does not mean men are on average smarter than women; that issue is hotly debated and irrelevant to what’s happening at the right tail in any case.)

But those geniuses, male or female, are not necessarily extroverted or conscientious, and they are manifestly non-conformist. They appear increasingly isolated. Aside from chess tables and poker tournaments, their last strongholds are Silicon Valley and in hedge funds, two arenas where competition still can still be open and fierce, at least until the winners stifle it.

In academia and medicine, the head girl style increasingly dominates, producing a black hole of consensus views and narrow debate. (The elite media has its own dynamics, but it too has become more conformist and fearful of potentially unsettling views, less willing to tolerate smart, cantankerous men.

The result is a broad scientific ossification, now visible at the highest levels.



Now we come to the mRNA Covid jabs.

At first glance, they aren’t a natural choice for head girls (or boys). They’re revolutionary, not marginal. For much of 2020 reasonable people raised reasonable objections to their development. Then - in less than a week in early November 2020 - Joe Biden won. ...

Suddenly and without much debate, any debate, really, the jabs became the consensus. (Head girls don’t like illness, either. They spend a lot of time perfecting themselves and their environments. Disease has no place. So Covid particularly unsettled them.)

But the head girls didn’t know what the Pfizer and Moderna trials weren’t telling them. They didn’t know the potential deep risks of this novel biotechnology. And they didn’t know how to ask or what to ask.

They didn’t know what they didn’t know. Very quickly - within days - they didn’t want to know. To be a head girl, of either sex, is to understand deep in one’s gut that one’s job is to answer questions, not ask them. Especially when the answers aren’t clear. Questions without clear answers are the enemy.

All of which would have been fine if the jabs had worked as promised.

Only they didn’t. And - I will repeat, again - we do not know what, if any, long-term harm repeated mRNA injections cause. How could we? We started giving people mRNA at scale less than three years ago. Time is the only variable which can’t be modeled away. As Warren Buffett said about investing:

Some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.

But we gave these jabs to more than one billion people on the basis of a few weeks of safety data.

Now we’re stuck. Not only do we not have answers to this ongoing experiment, the smart people - not the smartest people, but the smart people - don’t even want anyone to ask questions.

Which won’t make them go away.

I think it's likely that the greater range of male IQ (more idiots and more geniuses) is a direct result of the difference between having XX and XY chromosomes.

Females get two copies of X genes which may affect intelligence, but males get only one. So very good or very bad X genes for intelligence are blurred in women by the other X chromosome, but have their full effect in men.

And if you want to get really speculative, note that Jewish identity comes from one's mother. Rabbis may have recognized that there was something from a Jewish mother which produced geniuses, but not from a Jewish father, and so defined Jewish identity as matrilineal for that reason. Just sayin.

My virtual German buddy Eugyppius has a fascinating Stack today on a paper showing smart people were more likely to take the mRNA jabs.

The study drew on 750,000 Swedish men who were tested for their intelligence as part of their mandatory military service. The findings are clear: “The smarter participants had higher uptake and they got vaccinated more quickly.”

I want to point out again that an IQ test just checks the ability of people to recognize patterns, usually patterns they've seen before like Fibonacci series. It's said you can't improve your IQ - YES YOU CAN, take a few of them, you'll be a "genius" in no time.

It's a test of what people pick up in the education, maybe a test of confidence, but it's not a test of true intelligence.

I actually believe that the "dumber people" recognized their education as pointless, and the people that went through to pHD's in science blew through it. I would expect the middling people were the most likely to accept the vaccine uptake, and I'm in that group, yet at the same time, I finally figured out most of my education was bullshit.

Well, smart people try to think more efficiently, which might tend to cause trust in established authorities, and give the vax the benefit of the doubt.

It wasn't an intelligence test, but it was a gullibility test. Gullibility is not necessarily an indication of low intelligence at all times, and represents an imaginative aspect of mentation i.e. the person has the imagination to believe something can be true as a way of exploring alternative postulates. Many nominally smart people can be gullible and distracted in many ways, it may be a positive trait in some ways but as we see detrimental to fatal in others depending on conditions.

Part of it is not recognizing the face and extent of systemic evil when it is staring you down. That is so ineffable, it requires a paradigm shift in basic thinking, not necessarily intelligence.

Also there is just plain 'Spidey Sense', a tingling when some piece isn't fitting right, an odd survival instinct that some people have and other don't. My wife and her sisters, none of whom were anti vax, knew instinctively NOT to take this one. The brother who did 'died suddenly'.

I knew immediately it was a psyops because I watched the preliminary info and had the background at least analyze the information and the fakery of what they were presenting and the crisis acting, which was pretty fake on its face. Other people who SHOULD have had this expertise apparently still could not.

I laid everything out to a pretty smart friend in Santa Cruz before he was vaxxed, and he really poo pooed it, preferring to being beguiled by propaganda and said, "Well, all vaccines have some complications" and let it rest there. Now, with a son in law 'dead suddenly' at the age of 58, he sees me differently, even though I do have an education that should have swayed him.

So, what is secular feudalism but an engine for producing the death and suffering from which the entities feed? What is war but an furnace of death and suffering from which they feed?

People aren’t dumb. But they are very skilled at finding ways to make themselves feel better and justify their decisions - especially when those decisions, like being injected with mRNA, are irreversible.

I’ve thought a lot about this recently, as this fall’s booster campaign has sputtered. Most people have rejected the idea of more mRNA. They’ve have had Covid after getting the shots, showing them firsthand that the vaccines don’t work particularly well, or they’ve had unpleasant (and sometimes serious) side effects, or both.

Yet most people are not pushing back on the new campaigns or complaining about the way the authorities and media now pretend that they never claimed the vaccines would prevent Covid. They are content simply to ignore the pressure. They haven’t entirely forgotten - many people are even more cynical about drug companies and health bureaucracies than they were in 2020 - but they’ve moved on.

And as long as the vaccines don’t have provably terrible side effects going forward, they are unlikely to look back.

This is why it is so important to continue documenting and publicizing the provably terrible side effects and deaths.

https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/more-on-yesterdays-post-on-why-most

Kristi:

The truly terrible thing about all of this is how the bad actors are COUNTING ON US all moving on and not paying attention to the rising death toll all around us that they deliberately caused. It makes me sick, that they are such evil people, and also that human nature being what it is, they're getting away with it.

I want them held accountable.

Ryan:

I have to believe that there were a significant number of people who had bad side effects from the shot, but kept that info to themselves because they were on record supporting the shots and it would have been embarrassing to have to admit they had any negative effects or they just didn’t want to be called “anti-vax” or whatever.

—

Jonathan:

This is excellent Alex, right on point! …It is beyond frustrating that no one has been held accountable for the lies and deceit-lockdowns, social distancing, you won’t get COVID if you get the jab, you can’t transmit if it you get the jab, where COVID came from, masking( I still have friends and relatives who are adamant about wearing a mask if you are even feeling symptoms)…

And no one talks about the early deaths that are happening everywhere.

And very few people with any kind of influence or national audience will address this.

—

Gerry:

Brilliant take on the psychological damage done over the past three years. You mention that there has been no push back against the vaccine rollout this autumn. To whom are we supposed to push back? We can get on Twitter and tweet-whine but there is no more organized protest. The legacy media has abandoned their responsibility to speak truth to power. Our leaders have been exposed as corrupt.

As a kid growing up in the 70's I always believed that if I discovered malfeasance or corruption all I needed was the courage to bring my discoveries to the press and the truth would be told. All that has changed. There is no place to tell the truth anymore, other than places like Substack and then the truth is being shared with other, like-minded people. The truth is malleable. We are living in terrifying times

—

Steve:

Only fools choose to forget. It is imperative that we make noise about what happened, what the government said and did, so no matter how hard they try to forget they cannot hide from the truth. If the facts of what happened are allowed to be buried it will one day happen again. Never forget.

Ceil:

I am like Barbara. I fell for everything they told me initially. In spring of 2021, I eagerly took the first two shots. Eight weeks after the second one, I had a mild case of shingles, but I didn't connect it with the shots at the time. Then a friend's grandmother, who'd been vaccinated in December 2020, died of Covid in July 2021. And more breakthrough cases were happening.

The shots were not delivering what the government had promised, and I became skeptical. I bought Alex's Pandemia books as they came out. I started following the FLCCC. I put together a "COVID medical kit" to be prepared when the virus caught up with my family. When I tried to obtain Ivermectin before a two-month work assignment in Italy, my doctor wouldn't prescribe it. When I finally found a Teledoc to prescribe it, my regular pharmacist wouldn't fill it. My suspicions rose even further. The condescending "you are not a horse" campaign was in full force at the time. As a southerner, I felt insulted by the use of "Stop it, y'all."

When I returned from Italy in November 2021, I got COVID after a trip to Disneyworld. I've had worse flus. But after that, I had better immunity than the shots ever gave me, and the CDC was still telling me I needed to get a booster. This did not make any sense.

I stopped believing the government, and started believing my own common sense and the good science I was hearing from sources the government was censoring. And I began doing my best to talk sense into other people, too. Asking common-sense questions. Dropping little nuggets of information that they never hear from the main stream media.

If I had known in January 2021 what I know now, I would never have gotten those COVID shots. My faith in both the pharmaceutical companies and our government regulatory agencies has disappeared. I will never take another vaccination of any kind.

Now I know that God designed our amazing bodies to be able to deal with infectious agents of all kinds. There are many things I can do to optimize my immune system--like getting my Vitamin D levels up above 50ng/ml. I am healthy and enjoying life, free of the fear my government programmed into me. I am determined not to be manipulated by my government again.

💉 Finally, I present to you without (much) comment this weekend’s hilarious Seattle Times headline:




Suckers! And — hahahahahaha — they even used the weasel word “probably!” It’s probably working! Hahaha! Oh my gosh it’s so funny it hurts! Hahahahahaha! Somebody make it stop!

Whew. Thanks for that moment of levity, Seattle Times. Booster up!

Seriously, how many people have become so deluded they are now convinced a shot that makes them feel worse is actually good for them? Up means down, right means wrong, bad means good. It never changes with these people.

Me, I’ll pass. Hard pass.

Invisible threats

Both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and carbon dioxide (CO2) are invisible agents, which are blamed for the 2020 global pandemic and climate change respectively. Their mechanisms of action cannot be directly observed by ordinary people. German sociologist Ulrich Beck was prompted by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster to explore the societal impact of the many anonymous and invisible threats of global scope resulting from modernity. He argued that, in what he called a ‘risk society’, people had become radically dependent on specialised scientific knowledge to define what was and what was not dangerous [2]. Today, as members of the public, we are instructed to ‘trust the experts’ who tell us that these invisible agents are responsible for untold damages to human health and the Earth’s climate. We willingly consume the cartoon depictions of a malicious SARS-CoV-2 virus, and images of chimneys belching particulates as truthful illustrations of these invisible deadly enemies. ...

The Covid lockdowns gave us a taste of how easily people can be terrified into relinquishing those things that are most precious to humanity – bodily autonomy, contact with family and friends, access to places we love, and the opportunity to share our gifts and serve our communities face-to-face.

Recognising the many parallels between Covid and climate change, we need to ask: Have we learnt our lesson? Are our eyes now open? Or will we fall for the fear-porn again?

A lot of people, maybe even the majority, still do not realize that they are being hoodwinked by fear-porn in both cases.

💉 The tragi-comedy among the healthcare harlots continued unfolding this week. It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry. (But I laughed.) Here’s how it started: Canadian anthropologist, family physician, Ottawa school board trustee, and woke feminist Dr. Nili Kaplan-Myrth, MD, PhD, is not feeling well. Here she is, pictured in the Ottawa Citizen this year:




I want to, but I won’t say anything about her appearance, since that seems to trigger some people but — mask alert! And, the telltale eyes. Okay, I’m stopping.

On Friday, Dr. Nili tweeted her extreme vexation about getting covid again — the second time this month!




It was non-maskers’ fault. Dr. Nili was promptly and mercilessly mocked by shameless social media trolls since she is a delusional maskaholic — and still got covid twice in one month. So woke Australian doctor Claire Taylor, MBChB, BSc, a former neuroscientist who now runs a long covid clinic, sprang to Dr. Nili’s defense, and tweeted this in support:




So first, we learned that Dr. Claire, her son, and her doctor friends are all getting covid about every five weeks. If that weren’t bad enough, Dr. Claire — using Science! — has concluded it is now possible to be infected, not just frequently, but even by more than one covid variant at a time. Double covid. Triple covid. Quadruple covid. There’s really no upper limit. Covid doesn’t even wait for the last infection to end anymore.

Because there’s nothing else like covid out there. It’s unique. Apparently the human immune system is completely useless against it.

After starting that thought, Dr. Claire then wrote a 25-post thread about it, adding seven more postscripts. Last word freak.

Anyway, if you’re wondering whether the highly-credentialed ladies have considered jabbing as a possibility, the answer is both yes and no. Both doctors engaged in hand-to-hand social media combat with rude people suggesting their immune systems were destroyed by the jabs. Both doctors completely rejected the notion, because “safe and effective.” Dr. Claire claimed that unjabbed people are also getting covid all the time — but they just aren’t testing themselves like the morally praiseworthy jabbed people are.

Trust me when I tell you there is a lot of material in Dr. Claire’s 32-post thread and in the 486 responses. Since I’m short on time, go ahead and browse it for yourself if you like. It’s gold.

💉 In possibly the best — and most under-appreciated — news this week, only 2% of Americans have taken the new-and-improved covid booster shots. Weird. Pfizer’s stock tanked on the news, briefly dropping below pre-pandemic prices.

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer criminal organization, either.

People are rightfully enjoying the schadenfreude over all those wasted tax dollars and jab vials that will soon be incinerated, but I think there’s much more to the story than that.

Lat year, 18% of eligible Americans took the boosters (for some reason). This year, the public health agencies all ran the same positive propaganda, with the CDC’s Glorious Leader Mandy whatshername bravely going on TV and getting the latest, greatest booster shot ( or a realistic-looking facsimile thereof).



Two percent is nothing. It’s probably down to just the public health crowd and medical fetishists now.

I have two observations. Despite constant pro-jab propaganda, Americans finally seem to be wising up to the abject failure of mRNA technology. That in turn suggests that anti-jab messaging from independent sources like C&C is getting through the public-health noise. It also suggests that a lot of people probably have personal experience with bad jab outcomes now.

Did you notice that even medical-fetishizing healthcare professionals like Dr. Nili and Dr. Claire are pushing masks — not boosters?

Second, and more significantly, the wall-to-wall public health booster propaganda failed. Some believe this demonstrates the total collapse of “trust” in public health, and that may well be true. But note the difference this year: they aren’t using — because they can’t use — fear and censorship this time.

But at this point, the only tools public health has left that work are fear and censorship. And it’s not even close those would work at this point. Great job, public health experts.

Demand for mRNA Covid jabs has plunged. Americans have moved on from the virus.

But not every American.

Today we walk with Maggie Gordon on her quest to keep her Covid virginity intact.

Maggie seems nice, in a liberal white lady kinda way. She majored in women’s studies and graduated from Syracuse University in 2008. She is married. She writes for the “Houston Landing,” a local nonprofit journalism site.

And Maggie hates Covid.

Does she ever.

As Maggie explained in a column in Houston Landing Monday about the new booster, to avoid getting Sars-Cov-2 in 2020, she “reconfigured” her wedding, and she and her new husband “skipped holidays with our families in the Northeast to say safe.”

So when Pfizer and Moderna gave us the miracle of mRNA, Maggie was ready. When she couldn’t find a vaccine quickly in Houston, she drove “hundreds of miles” to a rural county near the Louisiana border where “they were offering shots to young, healthy adults even during what was supposed to be a phased release.”

Look, when you need a hit of that sweet mRNA, you do what you gotta do. ...

She rolled up her sleeve and took the shot, either her fourth or more likely fifth shot. (Let’s all take a moment to recall Covid jabs have never been tested past three doses in large or even medium-sized placebo-controlled clinical trials for healthy adults. We have no idea what their long-term effects might be.)

Then the story gets hinky. For Maggie admits the side effects from all her previous shots were brutal:

Every dose of the vaccines has hit me hard. I remember trying to peel myself out of bed after the second shot in April, 2021, knowing I had hours of work ahead of me at my home office, even if it hurt to blink. The fall 2021 booster hit me like a ton of bricks, as it wrapped itself in third-trimester fatigue.

Sounds worse than Covid for a healthy thirty-something woman. But Maggie wouldn’t know. As far as she knows, she has never had Covid, making her the last person in in America who has dodged Sars-Cov-2.

The vaccines must work after all!

Though work is relative. Sure enough, last Wednesday’s jab again laid Maggie low:

[I was] miserable on Thursday. I felt so dizzy and hot when I awoke in the morning to send our toddler off to day care that I had to lay down halfway through putting on her shoes. I went back to bed, where I cursed not being able to roll over onto my left side, due to pain at the shot site…

Am I the only one who suspects Maggie would be far better off dealing with the Omicron runny nose and sore throat than this misery? Especially since no matter how many shots she takes, sooner or later she will get Omicron. And then get it again.

Alas, she’ll have to learn that lesson herself.

Seems more and more that the only people who still fear Covid are those who’ve never had it.

I was greeted this morning by a Tweet reminding me of the pure vitriol, contempt, and threats of reprisal for the “unvaccinated” those who made the wise choice of declining COVID-19 vaccination. Remember the novel vaccines were originally Pfizer, Moderna, and Janssen. All were genetic with no data on how long the genetic code would stay in the body, how long the lethal Spike protein would be produced, and with no assurances that the vaccine would protect against severe outcomes including hospitalization and death. The real victims of vaccine propaganda were those who rolled up their sleeves.

https://twitter.com/DavidCWillisUSA/status/1714576424240287953



I responded with a perspective from clinical practice: “Everyday without prejudice or malice I take care of vaccinated with neuropathy, blood clots, heart damage and help families cope with vaccine cardiac arrest. I don’t blame them for their unhinged, hateful propaganda—they are the ones sick and dying not the unvaccinated.”

At this time there are no apologies, no requests for forgiveness from media anchors. So many people around the world were victims of an effective PSYOP engineered by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex and facilitated by the group psychological phenomenon of mass formation psychosis. If those spewing propaganda said they took the vaccines, we should believe them. If they are not telling us they are on their ninth shot by now, we should assume they are declining any more injections in quiet, shameful regret.

In clinical practice we are seeing new blood clots and hearing about cardiac arrests two years after the initial series of mRNA vaccines in 2021. More disease will occur in the now silent, vaccinated. Each person who propagandized and was in the mass formation themselves, evidenced by their personal vaccine card, will have to reconcile the unwise health choice of getting injected with pseudo-uridinated synthetic genetic code, loading their bodies with long-lasting viral Spike protein engineered in a Chinese biosecurity lab.

Patrick says

The last part of that sentence is false. The vaxx was not engineered in a Chinese biosecurity lab, that was the Covid virus itself.

Patrick says

At this time there are no apologies, no requests for forgiveness from media anchors.

They won't because Pfizer is still a big bucks advertiser. Big ad bucks is also why the late-night clowns poked fun at the unvaxxed.

HeadSet says

The last part of that sentence is false. The vaxx was not engineered in a Chinese biosecurity lab, that was the Covid virus itself.

Yes, the vaxx was not from Wuhan, but the spike protein itself was engineered in Wuhan and the vaxx tells your body to make that protein.

I think I broke my doctor toy. She hasn't followed up at all. I still have an appointment for next July. I wonder if I should go now that I know I hurt her feelings.

stereotomy says

I think I broke my doctor toy. She hasn't followed up at all. I still have an appointment for next July. I wonder if I should go now that I know I hurt her feelings.

Do you care?

My friend fired his kid's pediatrician when she rolled her eyes when he asked about spacing out vaccines.

And he was right to do it, of course. Vaccines have to be spaced out over time, because each vaccine causes symptoms, and if you take them all at once, you can overwhelm your immune system. Even I know that. I told my 80 year parents about this, and they were shocked at the ignorance of the "doctor".

These people don't have a fucking clue what they are doing. They believe vaccines are 100% safe, and 100% effective, and if you were to get a vaccine dose that was 1000x times more than needed for polio, you'd be just fine - like drinking water or getting a saline injection. They are absolutely clueless.

This makes sense but personally I will take this argument one step further: We need to re-examine the need for these children's vaccines.

The_Deplorable says

This makes sense but personally I will take this argument one step further: We need to re-examine the need for these children's vaccines.

I don't disagree at this point.

4 years ago, I considered it impossible they wouldn't be collecting data on long term health outcomes, but clearly they do not.

Right, they do not collect long term health outcomes because the documented harms would interfere with vaccine profits.

Yes, they really are that evil. It's literally the mafia running the government.

If I've figured it out, it's just a matter of time before everybody does.

Speaking of the Washington Post, the paper also ran an unintentionally hilarious pandemic performance review yesterday, or maybe it’s a limited hangout, or a partial sideways apology, or something, headlined “How We Got Covid’s Risk Right But the Response Wrong.”

See? They were right, even though they were wrong. More Orwellian double-think! It’s all so very, very nuanced.

The article was labeled an “analysis,” and authored by Bloomberg business commentator and former Harvard Business Review director Justin Fox, who apparently drew the short straw for having to frame the paper’s abject covid failures and hysterical fear-mongering as “successes” — successes, that is, if you squint really hard and look at it in just the right light. And also backwards through a telescope.

Justin got off to a terrific start by immediately explaining he was qualified to cover covid since 2020 even though he has “no background in epidemiology or even health journalism,” since “I can multiply, divide and make charts.”

My son Luke, who just turned thirteen, can also multiply, divide, and he makes great charts. I guess we’re all experts now!

Obviously feeling very generous, Justin credited himself for his 2020 estimate of a 1% covid fatality rate, since he didn’t fall for the obviously-wrong CDC and W.H.O. and their much higher 2-3% estimates. Of course, one percent is a chucklesome exaggeration all by itself, but the rest of the article swelled with even more belly laughs, like Justin’s claim that the CDC’s covid death estimates were “almost certainly undercounts, because in the early days the lack of testing meant many Covid-caused deaths were attributed to other maladies.”

Hahaha! I’ve personally reviewed hundreds of covid death certificates and coroner reports. My favorites are the covid gunshot wounds, covid tumbles off of roofs, and covid motorcycle accidents, but the great variety of covid nursing home trip-and-falls comes in at a close second.

Justin also quoted Bill Gates, even though he’s not a medical professional or a scientist. At least he tried to credit whatever dumb thing Bill was saying. Justin labeled the software billionaire a “well-informed amateur epidemiologist.” Hahaha! You really can’t make this stuff up.

Justin even claimed lockdowns “seem to have saved lives when implemented early enough.” We just need to do them earlier. If only we could implement lockdowns before pandemics start. I wonder whether Justin thought of that idea.

But anyway, after all that, Justin got down to brass tacks, the hideous point of the awful apology tour. After congratulating himself so many ways, and whole expressing great magnanimity and praiseworthy open-mindedness, Justin ultimately allowed that “the US did an awful job of balancing Covid’s risks with the costs of fighting the disease,” and even conceded that Sweden “ended up with one of the most successful and sustainable Covid management efforts among Western countries.”

How about that? Sadly, Sweden need not apply to the Washington Post to get its reputation back. This brief, footnoted admission is probably as much credit as Sweden will ever get, even though it deserves to be included in the title of every textbook about pandemic management from here on out. Still, the Nordic country is enjoying the best revenge, the quiet victory of being right.

I recently attended a funeral at the Church of the Immaculate Vaccination. It was a moving ceremony, so much so that in these dark times I was moved to share this short report for your edification and in memory of all those, like Brother Credulous, who have passed away tragically early.

All rise and adjust their masks.

The congregation sing the first hymn:

Amazing grace! Oh sweet lockdown!
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was free, but now I drown,
And still refuse to see.

The Expert processes in followed by the coffin borne on the shoulders of exceptionally prosperous undertakers.

Expert: We are gathered here today to mourn Brother Credulous who passed away unexpectedly of myomywhatacoinciditis.

We mourn his loss yet we celebrate his life, his double vaccination and his treble boosters.

The Expert raises his arms as though conducting the congregation:

Expert: Cause of Death?

Congregation: Anything but the Jabs!

Expert: Amen.

Expert: Thank goodness he was vaccinated…

Congregation: … otherwise it would have been so much worse.

All: Amen.

The Altar boy performs the involuntary prostration.

Expert: Today’s reading is taken from the book of Schwab, Chapter 5, verses 1-12

Now when Klaus saw the crowd of humanity, he went up to Davos and his disciples came to him and he began to teach them.

He said:

“Blessed are the poor for they will soon be in heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be next.

Blessed are the meek, for they will be interred in the earth.

Blessed are those consumed with self-righteousness, for they will do the devil’s work unbidden.

Blessed are the dutiful, for they will do their duty, even unto death.

Blessed are those with spike protein in heart, for they will see God rather sooner than they expected.

Blessed are the pacemakers, for they will be installed in children with cardiac injuries.

Blessed are those who are prosecuted for standing up for truth and professional integrity because they will be barred from practising and imprisoned indefinitely.

Blessed am I the Schwab when people insult me and say all kinds of evil against me for I will not be prosecuted because my people control your Government.

Rejoice and be glad, because great are the rewards of Big Pharma and we will persecute the speakers of truth, as we persecute all those who oppose us.”

All: Amen.

The coffin is borne out of the church to the strains of “Guide me O Thou Great Deceiver”.

For the next edition of the DSM

Getting a Covid “booster” is a sign of profound mental illness. I think we should coin a name for it: Fascist-Obedient Personality Disorder (FOPD). It’s when a person values fitting in with authority over their own health and well-being.

💉 In case you wondered who at this point is still WANTING the boosters, behold this young lady, who has chronicled all her shot reactions on TikTok, including her very latest booster shot, which she took last week:




CLIP: Booster Gal describes reactions and side effects (2:47). Adult language.

Wow. I hardly know what to say about all that. I guess that’s how you know the shots are working. And please note that the boosted gal has not posted anything since her last update on October 17th, so … we hope she makes it.

I'm also keeping an eye on my vaxxer neighbor, who just keeps taking them.
