Allergic to Truth
American Sheeple remain duped by the mass vaccination campaign despite growing evidence favoring the argument for vaccine hesitancy. I tried to reason with one of the flock. It didn't go well.
“Carl” questions the federal government and rightly so. He knows elections are decided by Wall Street, rejects both major political parties, recognizes that corporate media is misleading propaganda… hell, he didn’t even buy into the Russiagate hoax that such a stunning number of Americans still inexplicably believe was real.
In short, Carl is a progressive and principled intellectual (who happens to have a keen interest in science and technology) and has remained on the right side of history with both eyes wide open.
Until now.
CAPTURED
Carl has been psychologically-captured, along with the majority of the American Sheeple, into believing the propaganda behind the mass vaccination campaign, an effort to foolishly attempt to out-vaccinate a rapidly-mutating pandemic. Big Pharma has initiated this reckless arms race, a race we are already losing, and both science and history will reflect this tragic mistake.
It’s admittedly not surprising that the majority of American citizens are still gullible enough to be fooled into thinking otherwise. Ignorance has been a long-established problem in America, intentionally exacerbated by an abysmal education system that discourages encourage critical-thinking and rewards compliance.
What is surprising about Covid-vaccine propaganda is how intelligent people who normally do know better are still buying into this nonsense. They somehow believe something which is patently false (ie, that the Covid-vaccines are safe) and cling to that lie, wittingly or unwittingly, regardless of any evidence presented.
WHERE’S THE SELF-PRESERVATION?
Carl first jumped on the Moderna train months ago with little consideration for the risk factors that I’ve reviewed here, here, and here. Also here. Here too.
He insisted he studied the scientific literature closely enough and was confident that these novel vaccines were safe and effective and served as our best shot at achieving herd immunity to finally close the book on Covid-19.
The question I asked then and continue to ask now:
How can a person who values his/her life volunteer to be (1) injected with an experimental drug (2) created in a suspiciously short period of time (3) by for-profit pharmaceutical companies (4) which were granted unprecedented liability waivers (5) despite having a proven history of criminally-negligent business practices (6) and years before the drug trials have concluded?
These irrefutable points alone are more than enough justification for vaccine hesitancy. And yet over half of Americans slipped into straight-jackets without even realizing it and now act as if the reasonable minority are somehow the crazy ones.
I do feel that most people, if honestly presented with a proper disclaimer before vaccinating, wouldn’t go through with it and would instead opt for the wait-and-see approach. This is how I imagine an actual honest conversation between doctor-and-patient would go:
DOCTOR: Please be aware that this vaccine has not completed standard safety trials and you are accepting this vaccine at your own risk. Are there any questions before we continue?
PATIENT: Wait wait, that shit hasn’t finished safety trials?
DOCTOR: Still on Phase 3, I’m afraid.
PATIENT: What is that?
DOCTOR: Phase 3 is when clinical trials gather more information about a drug's safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
PATIENT: And that isn’t done yet? When does Phase 3 finish?
DOCTOR: November 2022 for Moderna, 2023 for Pfizer...
PATIENT: Jesus Christ! Then how is this shit legal to use already??
DOCTOR: Emergency-use authorization granted by the FDA allowed us to cut corners due to the pandemic. EUA status applies during such a health crisis if there are no other safe or effective treatments already available.
PATIENT: Are there any effective alternatives?
DOCTOR: About half a dozen, yes. Maybe eight? Ivermectin for sure.
PATIENT: And that’s safe?
DOCTOR: Oh, it’s as safe as Advil. And really cheap, too! It’s been administered over four billion times across the world. 60% of Africa takes Ivermectin regularly to ward off against region-specific parasites. That’s why the Covid-19 cases numbers there have been so low.
PATIENT: So can I have a prescription for Ivermectin then?
DOCTOR: Sorry, the FDA threatened to revoke my license if I prescribe it. Some doctors might take that chance, but I can’t afford the risk.
PATIENT: So you’re allowed to give me an experimental drug that hasn’t finished the drug trials but is allowed anyway because of EUA-status but that status itself actually isn’t applicable since safer, effective alternatives already exist but you’re not allowed to prescribe me any of the safer alternatives. Well, if I roll the dice and get this vaccine anyway and something does go wrong, at least I can sue the drug company for damages.
DOCTOR: Actually, pharmaceutical companies have been granted unprecedented liability waivers for their Covid-vaccines as part of Operation Warp Speed. So… no, you can’t.
PATIENT: But wouldn’t that make those companies less concerned about making a mistake if there aren’t any consequences for making mistakes?
DOCTOR: Presumably, yes.
PATIENT: And you weren’t obligated by law to tell me any of this important information?
DOCTOR: Correct. Any other questions?
PATIENT: Yeah, just one. Why did you admit all this shit?
DOCTOR: Because I’m a fictional character in a Substack article.
And yet people like Carl, who were already fully aware of the answers to these important questions, still opted to get the vaccine anyway. And I know he knew because I communicated those exact points well before he put his life in Moderna’s hands.
I understand why some of the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions thought it was worth the risk since these groups were especially vulnerable to Covid. But the survival rate for COVID-19 for those under 40 years old, including those with pre-existing conditions, still averages 99.8%.
Many young people, including Carl, are so fearful about being one of the 0.2% that they put 100% of their trust in Big Pharma and still consider themselves reasonable.
GEERT VANDEN BOSSCHE
Purely logical arguments aside, a bulk of my early science-based concerns stemmed from Geert Vanden Bossche, the Belgium virologist who articulated his specific concern about the consequences of mass-vaccinating in the midst of a pandemic. He was specifically worried about the heightened risk of vaccine-escape variants due to the concentrated, evolutionary pressure being narrowly applied to the spike protein.
He published his research in March and posted a variety of videos on YouTube that explained his reasoning, but it wasn’t until his interview on the DarkHorse Podcast a month later that his concerns gained serious traction:
It’s important to note that the whole concept of vaccines spawning new variants was already universally accepted in the fields of virology and biology. This did not originate with Geert Vanden Bossche!
What Geert did do was take a pre-existing scientific consensus about viral behavior under normal conditions and simply applied it to pandemic conditions. He extrapolated an already well-established theory. Yet shills came out of the woodwork and tried to debunk him. So people like Carl dismissed Geert entirely. If anything, such pushback against some little-known virologist from Belgium only further validated that Geert was onto something real.
ALLERGIC TO EVIDENCE
Both Carl and his wife were so fiercely resistant to any and all of the citations I provided that they accused me of harassment for providing information and Carl accused me of only sharing it in the first place because I just like to hear myself talk rather than out of any genuine concern for their health or well-being.
I was stunned. On both counts they were very, very wrong. I wasn’t quite as shocked by his wife’s reaction, being that she’s the type to get triggered if you fail to use her preferred pronouns. But for Carl, who has known me for over thirty-five years, to respond as he did was extremely uncharacteristic and completely unjustified. He knew damn well I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone. Hell, I’m his kid’s godfather! And he knew damn well that there was no rational reason for him or his wife to be offended by mere information (or as his wife called it, “harassment”). And if for any reason Carl really didn’t know the purity of my motive then he has irreparably lost his mind.
Carl still hasn’t apologized, for the record. I did, for the sake of keeping the peace, but he never had the decency to reciprocate. I even apologized to his cunty wife, and really shouldn’t have, yet she still hasn’t spoken to me since. Despite their asinine behavior spurned by an apparent allergic reaction to information, I opted to let it go and just allow time to prove how wrong they both are. I did my part, tried to help, and that help was rejected.
So be it.
HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD
But then the interview between Bret Weinstein and Robert Malone (and Steve Kirsch) cropped up. A well-regarded evolutionary biologist with a history of standing up for the truth regardless of the consequences (RE: Evergreen) and the actual inventor of mRNA vaccine technology combing over evidence and discussing the real dangers of the Covid-vaccines? For over three hours? If there were one video to watch that validated vaccine hesitancy, this was it. This was the silver-bullet that could penetrate even the most stubborn of hardened minds. (My 1-hour edit version is here).
So I passed it along to Carl, who initially fired back that he didn’t have the time to watch it and questioned why I would even send more information at that point. In short, he seemed reluctant to learn about the experimental drug he’d taken. The lack of healthy curiosity was odd, to say the least. But a couple weeks later he did watch the full interview and yesterday he called to talk about it.
CARL’S RESPONSES + MY REBUTTALS
“Dr. Malone is lying because the Pfizer document obtained through the FOIA request in Japan was debunked.” FALSE. Dr. Malone has no financial motive for raising concerns about the Covid-vaccines and, if anything, is putting his career on the line for doing so. The authenticity of the FOIA documents, which exposed that the lipid nanoparticles that coat the mRNA vaccine, widely circulate throughout the body and concentrate in the ovaries and bone marrow. The accuracy of this document not been challenged. The original document is here. The chart made by Steve Kirsch using that same data is below:
“Even if the chart were real, the lipid nanoparticles are so few that it’s not something to be seriously concerned about.” No big deal? Again, experts beg to differ. It should be noted that entire vaccine is only 0.5mL. It doesn’t take much to have a significant impact! There are multiple reasons to be concerned, especially since the lipids have recently been confirmed to cross the blood-brain barrier. Vaccines couldn’t do that a year ago. This is something new and that means more unknowns and the rational response to more unknowns is caution. Again, this is why new vaccines previously took an average of 10 years to create. The previous record was 4 years. Covid-vaccines took five months.
“There isn't enough data on Ivermectin to recommend it as a safer alternative.” FALSE. Not only is it one of the safest drugs in the world and taken by over 4 billion people worldwide, but 60 trials in over 20 countries have all shown consistently positive results. Pierre Kory and Bret Weinstein have discussed this extensively, both on the DarkHorse podcast and more recently with Joe Rogan. Kory also testified before the Senate and footage of that testimony was banned by YouTube. It’s still available on C-SPAN here.
“Ivermectin needs a much larger study to truly conclude how effective it is.”
FALSE. If you have dozens of smaller trials but each one is working independent from the other using different protocols and different starting points yet all of them still arrived at the same conclusions that would be a stunning coincidence. This is why numerous smaller trials are vastly more powerful evidence compared to any singular large-scale trial. Matt Taibbi wrote about the censorship around Ivermectin and, like all of his work, is well-worth reading.“VAERS is self-reporting so their data is unreliable.” FALSE. Yes, it is self-reporting. But it is reliable as a bare minimum estimate. Why? Because it takes 30-45 minutes for an individual to throughly submit a vaccine-adverse event through the VAERS website. How many people outside of the medical community even knows that VAERS exists? Very few. And how many of those people would take the time to submit a report? Very few. So if anything the numbers reported are gross underestimates, not overestimates. According to a Harvard Pilgrim Health Care study, only 1% of vaccine-adverse events are reported. Let’s be generous and say that 10% are reported. With that in mind, the VAERS data released by the CDC on 6/25/21 showed a total of 387,087 reports of adverse events from all age groups following vaccination, including 6,113 deaths and 31,240 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020 and June 18, 2021. Do the math. Some already have.
“The vaccines aren’t experimental and passed all the safety trials already.” FALSE. The estimated study completion date for Moderna’s Phase 3 trials is October 27, 2022. For Pfizer it’s May 2, 2023.
“Geert Vanden Bossche is against the Covid-vaccines because he wants to sell his own vaccine.” FALSE. Geert’s entire argument has been that mass vaccinating as an offensive weapon against an already raging pandemic, rather than as a preventative measure before a pandemic, is inherently problematic and will fuel the mutation of Covid-19, giving rise to ever-worsening variants. To suggest that Geert is trying to peddle his own vaccine is a direct affront to his own thesis. Aside from being unsubstantiated, it doesn’t make sense.
“Byram Bridle is against the Covid-vaccines because he wants to sell his own vaccine.” Where have we heard this before? Does this Canadian doctor really sound like someone trying to sell something? What is Carl talking about??
“All the new Covid cases are people who weren’t vaccinated. What’s that tell you?” FALSE. This is an impossible claim to make being that the CDC inexplicably limited the counting of breakthrough cases.
What does THAT tell you?
MY TAKEAWAY
What I found most disheartening beyond Carl’s non-sensical arguments was that he actually questioned the very integrity of well-trained, well-credentialed, well-regarded experts who have no financial incentive to lie about their findings, who have risked their very livelihoods to communicate the real dangers posed by Covid-vaccines… but he gave a free pass to Big Pharma. If he were as skeptical of these vaccines (which have no long-term studies) as he is of Ivermectin (decades old and proven safe), he wouldn’t have gotten the jab.
It’s absurd for someone who works at Costco for a living to presume he knows better about these subjects than credentialed experts like Geert Vanden Bossche (virologist), Dr. Robert Malone (inventor of the mRNA vaccine technology), Bret Weinstein (evolutionary biologist), Dr. Pierre Kory (critical care specialist and President of the FLCCC Alliance) or Dr. Byram Bridle (Associate Professor of Viral Immunology at the University of Guelph). That’s not to say that Costco employees can’t also be intelligent, but Carl cannot claim to have superior expertise, especially in a field in which he has zero experience in.
This is why I have always provided Carl with evidence to support my positions. It’s not like I ran my own studies in a lab and figured all this out by myself. I deferred to those who know better than I do and provided their research. For the record, Carl has provided nothing to substantiate his positions. Not one article, not one study, not one link to anything. Nothing.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE SHEEP?
Carl is hardly an exception to the rule. Sadly, he’s one of many Americans captured by an anti-science narrative disguising itself being pro-science. And they become extremely defensive when they hear that. Nobody wants to admit that they were duped. I get it. I believed Saddam had WMD’s and was dead wrong, too (granted, I was still in highschool at the time). No one is right 100% of the time.
But you cannot say that an experimental drug is safe without long-term studies. It’s impossible to say otherwise. To deny this is to deny reality. Rather than humble themselves and accept being wrong, most sheep just double-down on their non-arguments, sinking deeper and deeper as they try to justify the unjustifiable.
So what do we do with all these victims of propaganda? Just let them suffer the consequences that come with delusional thinking even though their mass delusion also puts the entire population at greater risk?
Unfortunately, yes. We don’t have a choice.
All we can and should do is continue to provide disclaimers that the media won’t, to be outspoken, to post and share and discuss with as many people who are willing to engage. Hopefully enough logic circuits in enough brains will ultimately be sparked to bring the mass vaccination campaign to a screeching halt.
As it stand, Covid-vaccine hesitancy is thankfully on the rise. As of today, 54% of Americans have received at least one jab and 46% went all-in and are fully-vaccinated. If we can cap that latter number at 50-55%, it would be comforting to know that half the country or even close to half still remembers how to think critically.
The other key objective is to inform them about Ivermectin, which is currently the safest and most-effective alternative to the vaccines and getting them in touch with doctors who will prescribe it. (I went with Dr. Peter Hibberd).
For those who did already vaccinate, Ivermectin is still recommended for the inevitable vaccine-resistant variants. But if a person makes it clear that they are hostile to evidence and resorts to blatantly dishonest arguments, then we must accept that person is lost and doesn’t want to be found. Give them a compass, back off, and hope they find their way.
If they don’t, well… being a lemming has consequences.
