I saved the biggest and best story for last. This weekend on CNBC’s show Delivering Alpha (‘alpha’ in this context means ‘excess returns over baseline’), the financial network held a long-form interview with Bill Ackman, philanthropist and ‘activist’ billionaire CEO of hedge fund giant Pershing Capital.
CLIP: Bill Ackman reverses course on vaccines on CNBC (5:50).
Before I start transcribing the best parts, there are two things to know. First, CNBC is a financially conservative network and doesn’t normally take political risks in its programming. To say the least, it is an unlikely spot for a substantive discussion of the merits of vaccines. Second, Ackman was an early and enthusiastic covid vaccine advocate. But not anymore.
Here are the key parts. You’re going to love it. The interviewer began by remarking on the unlikely fact that Ackman was supporting RFK, Jr., a known anti-vaccine nut job:
INTERVIEWER: How could somebody who was so emotional about covid — you came on my program, we all remember that — as committed as you were to the vaccines, to getting as many people vaccinated as possible, given (RFK’s) stance on vaccines in general, some might wonder how you can be supportive (of his campaign)?
ACKMAN: So actually I think Kennedy raises a LOT of important questions that need to be asked and answered about vaccines. And uh, that’s something we are doing a deep dive on. Just today, I was on the phone with a scientist, and we want to put together … (trails off). What I, what I think needs to be done, is a very detailed, deep dive into all of the research on vaccines, on vaccine safety, uh, and then … Among the things we have not done a lot of work on, is the cumulative impact on a child, for example.
When I was a child, I got THREE shots. I have a four year old; he’s scheduled to get SEVENTY-THREE shots. You know… And it may not be the, you know, the virus, if you will, designed to make you immune to the disease, the dead virus, or the mRNA technology. It may be, you know, aluminum, or preservatives they use in the vaccines, which create risks and challenges.
By the way, as the parent of a four-year-old, where the four-year-old has no ability to consent to something you’re injecting into them; I feel a moral and other paternal obligation to get to the bottom of this issue. I think, Mike, I just spoke to a scientist today, a top scientist at UCSF, who said to me, you know, Kennedy is right on 75-80% of what he says about vaccines.
The unfortunate thing is the 20-25% where unfortunately there’s just not enough data to support the stuff he says convincingly. And uh, I think it’s time for us … this whole vaccine thing became a political issue. Where if you got a shot and wore a mask you were in one party. If you refused to get a shot and didn’t wear a mask you were in another political party. (But) it’s just not a political issue.
There is real reason to … look. We have a generation of kids who have a lot more asthma, a lot more excema, a lot more autism. And we don’t yet understand the reason for that. Is it some adjuvant in the vaccine? Is it something about vaccines? Is it some other toxin in the environment? I think we have an obligation — as parents — to figure this out.
INTERVIEWER: Is that where this newfound curiosity came from? From you becoming a parent?
ACKMAN: No, from actually listening to what Kennedy had to say, as opposed to… look. The biggest, I would say interesting… I give a lot of credit to Elon, and Twitter or X (or whatever you want to call it). This, you know, talking to a scientist again today, who is a brilliant epidemiologist (among other areas). And he was one of the scientists-slash-doctors that raised early questions about the covid vaccine.
And he was demoted on Twitter. One of the papers he put up on a preprint site was taken down as ‘misinformation.’ And, you know, you look at this guy Jay Bhattacharya at Stanford, his recommendations for how we should have managed covid turned out to be pretty much spot-on accurate. But he was basically just taken off Twitter as misinformation.
And now Twitter has become a place where people can express their views. I’m a huge free-speech advocate. I use Twitter — one of the most profitable investments I ever made, I made because of what I learned on Twitter.
Listen to the whole thing and appreciate how far we have come. Allow me to number just a few of the massively-winning points demonstrated by this short, five-minute clip:
CNBC aired an “anti-vaccine” segment — without labeling or undermining it.
Ackman is a respected member of the financial community.
He fundamentally and publicly changed positions on the covid vaccines.
He is now publicly skeptical of all vaccines, not just mRNA jabs.
He is listening to RFK and Elon Musk.
He is putting his own money into it, both in supporting RFK (getting the word out) and funding scientific research against vaccines.
Ackman labeled the issue a moral imperative.
Only one thing can beat the self-interested lure of money: parental love. What the Ackman clip showed most is how the vaccine issue has now transcended even self-interest, which is the spell the vaccine industry has used to hold things together since the 1980’s when this vaccine madness originally began. Now, a lot of people — including smart, successful, well-connected people — are starting to take a very hard look at jabs in general.
The vaccine lie will unravel faster than you ever thought possible. Watch and see.
When I was a child, I got THREE shots. I have a four year old; he’s scheduled to get SEVENTY-THREE shots.
GNL Do you mean this particular thread?
It has an unusually high number of views: "230,816 views" so far.
I don't know how many people that is. I suppose I could try to count distinct IP addresses in the logs, but that's a lot of work.

Nobody could’ve seen this coming. The Daily Mail UK ran a stimulating story yesterday headlined “EXCLUSIVE: Demand for unvaxxed sperm spikes: Women turning to shady Facebook groups to find unvaccinated sperm donors.”
The slippery Daily Mail spent most of the article’s column inches ‘debunking’ the notion that mRNA vaccines impact fertility, mainly because the CDC said so. But I’m not sure fertility is the entire reason why some women are wanting unjabbed … fertility materials. After injecting as much doubt as it could about the swarming “Unjabbed Sperm Donors” Facebook group, the Daily Mail finally had to admit that, “anecdotally,” its diligent reporters did find plenty of examples of women seeking unjabbed specimen donors in online ads.
But it doesn’t prove anything! At least not to the Mail’s reporters, who presumably feel unfairly left out because they can’t qualify for the Unjabbed Sperm Donors group, and so they just feel totally discriminated against. Stupid conspiracy theorists.
Or, it’s another covid miracle; the startling rise of an entirely-new industry that didn’t even exist three years ago. How about that? And all we men had to do was not get a shot.
Wouldn't doubt if Ackman just finished setting up some massive short action on the pharmas and is now knocking the dominoes over.

I think the schedule shown here is basically mandatory in Cali.
My biggest concern for the last 2 years has been the waves of “atypical” bacterial, and fungal infections, that will contribute to poorer long-term outcomes, and especially lower cognitive function. But here lies a few conundrums regarding syphilis and that damn thing (mRNA).
The Covid mRNA vaccines can cause chronic (meaning long-term) false positive RPR (Rapid Plasma Reagin) to syphilis. In simple terms, certain vaccinated individuals can keep testing positive for syphilis, without actually being infected, for up to 9 months. It makes diagnosing and proper treatment harder than it should be, and a detailed medical history is necessary, something I personally prefer, but it is not viable for many situations and doctors.
The second conundrum is that the mRNA can “reactivate” a syphilis infection and cause secondary syphilis. Most likely it will also significantly contribute to tertiary syphilis, but we need long-term studies for that (as in 15-30 years long-term).

Three Years After Frontline "Anti-Vaxxers" Sounded The Alarm, The Telegraph Declares the "Real Covid Jab Scandal" Is "Finally Emerging"

The real Covid jab scandal is finally emerging ...
I am not an anti-vaxxer but…. Let’s stop saying that, shall we? There’s no shame in being against giving a vaccine to groups who didn’t need it, and which caused people to be dead who should be alive and taking their eight-year-old son to school.

I work as a pharmacist in the drug industry and so I am familiar with the clinical trial process and so forth. When the vaccine was "approved", Emergency Authorization approved if you recall, I said nope. I went through the prescribing information or monograph and said no way I am getting this. No way that anything can be "safe and effective" with just a few months of trials, absolutely no way. It takes years to vet out a medication whether it's an injectable, pill...etc. Now in the 3 years that the COVID vaccines have been out, there have been more than 3000 published articles concerning the side effects from the vaccines. I am so glad I never took it. The best decision ever made.

I know a few and they sound like absolute shit, and both feel like absolute crap.
Anyone else?
Why the fuck are people injecting themselves with a non-FDA approved biological agent?
And what the fuck are people afraid of, when this covid has a 99.97% survival rate?
I don't understand this level of retardedness... Or maybe I am just super, over the top, fucking retarded, that I can't understand this shit.
