"Doctors pushing Covid shots didn’t see the fraud. Economists missed the heist. Engineers built surveillance without blinking. Each turned their screw, blind to the machine they were feeding—a Moral Assembly Line where systemic evil thrives.

The system’s not broken; it’s built to break us, and we’re all complicit until we start connecting the dots. As I explored in “The Illusion of Expertise,” we’ve confused credentials with wisdom, compliance with intelligence.

Now we see the deadly consequences: we’re not failing because of bad experts—we’re failing because specialization itself has become the operating system of institutional evil."

We need generalists—people who refuse to be watchers in their own lives. Before industrialization, healers and polymaths wove together physical, spiritual, and social knowledge. Today, we’re consumers of expertise, not creators of understanding.

The way out is radical responsibility. Stop outsourcing your thinking. The path forward begins with recognizing that what we’ve been taught to value as ‘expertise’ has been weaponized against us. Questioning institutional narratives isn’t a sign of ignorance but a necessary act of intellectual sovereignty. When an expert tells you something, ask: Who benefits? What’s hidden? What would another field say?

They legally couldn’t have an emergency vaccine if there were treatments that would work. And so you’ve now got a motivation for demonising all of these treatments that were clearly working.

There is evidence in part 1, particularly in the sections on hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, which points to viable treatments for covid being ruthlessly suppressed.

And you’ve also got, as a result of all those policy-induced deaths when we were in 2020, a lot of people [who] honestly believed that their lives were at risk. So you’ve got huge amounts of fear propaganda, a big number of deaths on a tally and the government going hell for leather saying the only way out are these vaccines. And that created what was really a cult-like atmosphere, where people were looking to the vaccines as a saviour… [as if] that was the only thing they could do to save their lives and to get out of this awful situation.

The notion of “vaccines as a saviour” reminds me of the multiple ways in which the covid era bore more than a passing resemblance to a form of religion...

It wasn’t overnight… I remember this very, very clearly, because I was in the group talking about what was going to be next, and we were saying, “Well they’re not going to give it to people who are 40, or they’re not going to give it to people who are 30… they’re not going to…” And obviously all the while we’re thinking, “They’re going for the children. They’re going to end up [going] for the children.” And actually… the first comment about vaccinating children was in mid-2020.

And then of course they did. And… honestly… I couldn’t believe that that line got crossed… There had been a crossing of line after line after line… red lines… And then they started vaccinating children and pregnant women… [I was] like, “This is… completely insane. These products are novel technology. They’ve never been used before outside of clinical trials, and you’re trying to inject the whole population for a disease that is not a threat unless you are old and sick.” ...

And then overnight… just as the vaccine [rolled] out… every single corner of the UK had a spike simultaneously… from Anglesey to the Isle of Wight to the Shetlands… all these places that were out of sync with mainland… they’re all going at once… I’ve never quite worked out how much of that was the vaccine and how much of that was changing the testing… I don’t know which one it was. But that spike was weird. ...

And every time a country rolled it out, there would be a massive spike in covid. And we literally had headline after headline… “Chile has new spike in covid despite vaccination rate…” “Hungary has spike in covid despite high vaccination rates…” It became a running joke, this same phrase being used again and again every time a country started to push the vaccines. ...

It was because, when you inject people with these jabs, they cause cells around your body to turn into spike factories and make the spike protein... And your immune system goes and attacks those cells and kills them, which is problematic in itself, but it also means your immune system is incredibly busy. And… on day 2 after injection there is a massive drop in white blood cells in your blood to… undetectable levels in some cases. ...

And surely it doesn’t take any expertise at all to see that counting people as “unvaccinated” for (say) the first two weeks after injection is fraudulent? ...

When you damage the heart, the heart cells that die can release an enzyme into the blood, and you can detect that enzyme in a simple blood test. And it matters because heart cells don’t repair. So if you lose your heart cells, that’s it for the rest of your life. You’ll end up with a scar in your heart where those heart cells were. And this didn’t really happen until boosters were being given…

The Redditor’s worst nightmare is inspiring an awkward party reaction. Of being “that guy.” Being “on the right side of history,” is his watchword. You must hold politics that align with Northrup Grumman and Exxon, and Trust the ScienceTM that emerges from huge multinational pharmaceutical interests. The ScienceTM is of course not the open study of the natural world but a set of morally-charged maxims passed down from regime institutions. It is a morality of consensus. The ScienceTM is always settled, even when it flips. Remember when Covid was a chud-coded anti-Chinese conspiracy perpetuated by Drumpf, weeks before it was the Black Plague miraculously averted by the heroic Dr. Fauci? Remember when Putin sang for Goldie Hawn, Sharon Stone and other glitterati before he became literally Darth Vader?

Covid itself was a mild sickness on par with seasonal flu. The danger was a social illusion, a corporate scam, and a government power grab. But five years later, a handful of people are still wearing masks in public. They’re not motivated by fear of getting sick. They’re motivated by a desire for significance. Wearing a mask gives them purpose; it makes them feel important. This speaks to the emptiness of modern America.

Life in America offers suffering without meaning; struggle without community; competition without camaraderie.

What’s pathetic, yet true, is that wearing a mask and the cowardly act of hiding from a gentle illness was the first time that many Americans felt any kind of adventure or fulfillment in their lives. That’s why they continue to cling to the unnecessary ritual of medical protective gear, reliving their fear.

There seems to be a section of society populated with gullible conformists who believe many of the manufactured narratives designed to manage society.

Most are the credentialed products of universities. The laptop class of professionals who operate the corporations, institutions and key organizations.

Their worldview is comprised of stories which are downloaded and stored as mental models. Adhering to these narratives can then devolve into belief systems that are placed beyond criticism. This in turn can easily degenerate into a kind of fanaticism. ...

During Covid we were spoon fed every aspect of the unfolding event by traditional media. No one had to think at all.

They provided statistics, experts, charts, videos, reenactments, fake debates, you name it. The media supplied everything and told us what to think.

Thanks to the barrage of statistics and emotive anecdotes it was easy at first to believe a deadly epidemic was occurring.

As critics emerged their concerns were instantly dismissed. Alternative treatments, issues with mRNA as a delivery mechanism, the lack of testing for the proposed substances. All these were ridiculed as ignorance. Annoyances proposed by people who didn’t grasp the deeper nature of the pandemic and its seriousness.

Masking became the perfect example of the thinking at play. Quoting studies that showed how useless they were only reinforced the smugness since the point wasn’t to prevent infection as such, but to herd the morons into more sensible behaviour because the masses need intelligent leadership.

Challenging the ineffectiveness of masking in public spaces missed the psychological purpose of the activity which the more capable understood, a perfect illustration of how easily captured the mid-range talent often is by sophistry that promises to deliver a brief flash of smugness when challenged.

Covid was a well-documented example of all the mechanisms that keep the laptop class hypnotized by other people’s ideas if they are presented with authority. It commandeered any critical functions they possessed and still does. It was truly pathetic to witness.

We don’t examine evidence and reach conclusions. We trust people we like, then adopt their views. “The reasons are not the causes of our beliefs,” he explained. They’re the stories we tell ourselves afterward. Want to change someone’s mind? Facts won’t do it. They need to trust you first. If they admire you, they’ll find reasons to agree. If they dislike you, the best evidence won’t matter. Smart people believe opposite things because they trust different people.

When someone declares "people will die" as a justification for curtailing liberty, the correct response is "what are you suggesting - that liberty isn't worth dying for? That those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms made the wrong choice?
—OldMugwump, 2013

Evil is not committed by people who feel uncertain about their righteousness, who question their own motives, who worry about betraying themselves. The evil in this world is committed by the spiritual fat cats, by the Pharisees of our own day, the self-righteous who think they are without sin because they are unwilling to suffer the discomfort of significant self-examination. Unpleasant though it may be, the sense of personal sin is precisely that which keeps our sin from getting out of hand…It is a very great blessing because it is the one and only effective safeguard against our own proclivity for evil.

-M. Scott Peck, People of the Lie: The Hope for the healing of Human Evil (1983)

As more and more people are awakening to the dangers of vaccines, they are gradually discovering a problem vaccine safety advocates have had to deal with for decades—talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall and regardless of the evidence you put forward, you can’t reach them (sometimes seeming as though you are speaking to a religious fanatic who is unwilling to even consider the “blasphemy you are spewing forth”).

For example, in 2009 after nephrologist Dr. Suzanne Humphries noticed patients (particularly hospitalized ones) kept on developing kidney failure after flu shots, she experienced significant pushback from trying to delay vaccinating until discharge:

In the past when I was consulted on kidney failure cases and said, “Oh that was the statin/antibiotic/diuretic that did that!” instantly the drug would be stopped—no questions asked. Now, however, a new standard was applied to vaccines. It didn’t matter that the internist’s notes in the charts said, “No obvious etiology of kidney failure found after thorough evaluation.”

The next time the medical chief of staff and I met in the corridor, an oncologist was present. At one point, I asked the chief, “Why doesn’t anyone else see the problem here? Why is it just me? How can you think all this is okay? Why is it now considered normal to vaccinate very sick people on their first hospital day?” The oncologist gave an answer that surprised me. She said, “Medical religion!” and turned and walked away. ...

Once people awaken to the vaccine issues, one of the most frequent questions which emerges is why the medical field has such a rigid ideological attachment to them. I would argue it is due to three interrelated reasons:

First, human society has always been defined by competing groups vying for status and wealth, and what many do not appreciate is that, historically, it is a very recent development that doctors attracted the prestige and salary the profession commands. This I would argue was ultimately a result of two things:

1. Market monopolization (via the American Medical Association) and technological developments birthing an incredibly profitable medical industry, which generated the funding to market a newfound faith in it to the entire country and required doctors (and faith in doctors) to serve as the keystone for the industry.

2. Medicine creating a mythology that it rescued us from the dark ages of disease, and hence deserves its supremacy in the current social hierarchy. As “vaccines ending infectious diseases” is a central part of that mythology, to maintain their existing prestige, those within the conventional medical system are essentially forced to double-down on the absolute supremacy of vaccines, regardless of the evidence against them, or the fact, as Secretary Kennedy brilliantly shows here, there is no actual evidence vaccines were responsible for the decline in infectious disease the medical industry falsely claimed credit for.

Secondly, there is a well-known phenomenon in psychology known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, which states that the less competence or knowledge individuals have in an area, the more they will overestimate their competency and knowledge...

Third, a strong argument can be made that societies cannot function without some type of unifying faith or spirituality (particularly since in the absence of one, people will frequently seek out one to adopt). In our culture, a rather peculiar situation emerged where religion was cast out by broad swaths of the society and replaced with science (under the belief it would create a fairer and more rational society) but the underlying need for a widespread faith was never addressed.

Because of this, much of science gradually morphed into the society’s religion, resulting in it claiming to be an objective arbiter of truth, but in reality, frequently being highly dogmatic and irrational as it seeks to establish its own monopoly over the truth (which has led to many labeling the current societal institution of science as “scientism”). As such, when science is discussed, religious terminology is often used by its proponents (e.g., “I believe in science,” “I believe in vaccines,” “anyone who denies climate change is reprehensible and must be silenced”).

The Religion of Medicine

Over the years, many have made the observation, medicine, by claiming dominion over life and death (and creating modern miracles like reviving the dead with cardiac resuscitation or awing the public with their ability to see through flesh with x-rays) has come to function as the foundation of the new religion of science.

Modern Medicine can’t survive without our faith, because Modern Medicine is neither an art nor a science. It’s a religion... The Church of Modern Medicine deals with the most puzzling phenomena: birth, death, and all the tricks our bodies play on us.
- Robert S. Mendelsohn

... Of these points, I spent by far the most time pondering his argument vaccines were medicine’s holy water, as:

•Every medical student (and now healthcare workers too) are required to be fully vaccinated—both filtering out those not aligned with medicine’s dogmas and making those who submit to them be much more inclined to push them on patients.

•Vaccines greatly increase the likelihood of chronic illnesses (typically a 3-10X increase), causing recipients to become lifelong adherents to medicine and the drugs it provides to manage those symptoms.
