I am a big fan of Freddie's, but I agree with you that his faith in vaccines is far too high.
I do think that he himself has reason to get vaccinated tho, as the side effects from the many psychiatric medications that he's been very open about taking could easily put him into the COVID high-risk category. He shouldn't be proselytizing it for all others in any case.
Were both these comments meant to go on yesterday's post? Hmm - If anything, his meds might protect him against some of the neurological side-effects of the virus, but I can only speculate. And I would say that no one needs the injections anyway, since there are effective therapeutics for those who as Prasad puts it would "so choose" to take them. The only vibe I get from how he talks about the virus is mundane inability to accept that everyone dies, leading to veneration of anything called a "vaccine" as a generic talisman against the biological reality of human existence.
Yeah, they were. I'll copy them there. I switched from my work pc to my phone in order to comment and clicked the wrong article.
Regarding the meds - they have a tendency to increase weight gain and brain fog, both of which seem to increase vulnerability against COVID. I can see why he'd be concerned enough to get vaccinated. Part of his ongoing message has been that humans must face reality and everybody dies, so I don't think a wholesale rejection of mortality is his issue. I just think he has been duped by the hypervaxxers.
Huh, funny that he's ostensibly on team everybody dies - but also not surprising since he seems to fall into contradiction easily (as when he complained that his post using Red Scare + Alex Jones as chum for engagement was being used as chum for engagement). I really don't think the everybody dies argument is compatible with anyone under 60 taking the injections. Since they represent a rejection of the baseline risk inherent to life, they cannot "enable" re-embrace of that risk. The walk must be walked, for the talk to count.
Again, I think the health issues brought about by his psych meds effectively put him in the "over-60" category, much like anyone in their 40s-50s who is morbidly obese, or those who have other severe comorbidities.
Mind-numbing. The Covid-vaccinated seem to be staying out of the hospital "for Covid." The unvaccinated 30-49 year olds seem to be doing terribly, way out of proportion to overall hospitalization bias. This accords with exactly what I said above - it is the middle-aged unvaccinated (and untreated) who are driving the bulk of hospital care in 2021. I guess you can make any reality disappear with statistical models if you wanted to.
Here in Germany, the convalescent status was shortened overnight from 6 months to 3 months. Quite apart from how idiotic it is to provide the bio-logical state of being convalescent with a technocratically acquired expiration date. Whoever was ''vaccinated'' with a dose of Johnson&Johnson and thus was considered ''fully vaccinated'' until now, now counts again to the ''unvaccinated'' and has to get a second injection. It is only a question of time until all those who are no longer willing to be further ''vaccinated'' are again counted among the ''unvaccinated'', although they do not belong to the actual, real unvaccinated. What a mess. Little by little, people are degraded to yogurt pots and sorted into the shelf of technocracy according to their shelf life (the convalescent status).
48 people in my office. 2 unvaxxed (yes, you guessed one of them 😀 happy to be in control group). I think we’ve had 7 or 8 go home positive recently. Possible false positive on 2 Not sure yet, management doesn’t give us details but I think 2 didn’t have symptoms the others did. I think. I’m still getting details. One unvaxed person had it but she got it over vacation completely isolated from office staff by many days on either side. The others did not. Is this, perhaps, a pandemic of the vaccinated.
Other person 🤣🤣 has never had it. Now I may not be able to laugh forever, I’m not saying I’m immune but SEEMS TO ME I’m doin pretty good here and they are not. Just sayin. But again I’m not laughing too hard, could get Imacold soon. We’ll see.
All the fervor for universal multi-vax is based on the faulty premise that it works. It clearly does not. We must confront them with the reality that their sacrifice does not protect them or anyone else.
The really sad part of this is many of them will suffer long term disabilities that the rest of us will have to pay for.
I have wondered many times what the future looks like for the vax free. Will they be in care giver mode to all the people who wanted to see them locked up in camps? What’s that phrase? Be nice to your kids, they’ll be picking out your nursing home? Grim I know! Sorry. 🍻
“ The Covid-vaccinated had been offered certain promises regarding these experimental injections, namely that they were “safe” and “effective.” But promises aside, the Covid-vaccinated still had no excuse for not knowing that they were also “rushed,” and “experimental” - facts which, alone, should have made it obvious that no one could know the truth of those two prior claims.” lol Even our intelligent kids don’t get this.
And, “… running out to try experimental drugs their TV tells them to get.” is likely exactly what they did.
Astute and well argued point. I'm going to be whipping this one out frequently.
This is my biggest take-away: "no excuse for not knowing that they were rushed and experimental". This is the part I've never understood. To this day, we know nothing about long-term effects of these experimental meds. Nobody does! No one can even argue that information is being withheld or not--such information cannot and does not exist. I remember the moment last summer when Rochelle Walensky declared that they had "increasing information" that the vaxxes were safe in pregnancy. I remember thinking, from where? The vaxxes haven't even been around for 9 months, not a single woman has gone through an entire pregnancy having been vaccinated. You have ZERO information on this topic. It doesn't take a science degree or stats degree to understand this very simple math.
The FDA data is being withheld, so there's that. They were arguing in court to release it in dribs and drabs for the next 75 years. Judge said no, so it will be interesting to see where it goes from there.
I suppose the clarity was a result of the satire; I was parroting rhetoric, which I do not engage in.
Viruses and human intention don't lend themselves to clarity. Anyone claiming so, including among the "we've always known not to vaccinate into a pandemic" dissident crowd, is ignoring the actual history. Viruses are fickle. There's counter-examples for any explanation of the outcome of any intervention. People claiming the research says otherwise are in the wrong field.
Brilliant! I have been seeing a sudden exponential increase in the "make the vaccinated stay home" narrative just in the past few days. They must be cooking something up. On my end, it makes no difference, since I live with my elderly (vaccinated) parents who are at high risk of covid (due to other conditions), I wouldn't be going out even if I *were* vaccinated.
I could go get my own place but then I wouldn't be able to come help them out because I would possibly be "contaminated," so for the time being, here I stay. Honestly, other than having some in-person friendships (which would be nice) and a boyfriend (right now I just don't even want to bother anyway)...I really don't mind. I suppose the Powers That Be have already gotten me ready for their climate lockdowns.
I'd be screwed if I had my Internet taken away, but otherwise I've built my business, friendships, and ecosystem of support virtually. I go out in nature frequently and so what am I missing but going out to the bar, which I'm now old enough to not care about? So it's this last bit that's the kicker - the Internet. They will be controlling it MUCH more in the future, I guarantee it. Good thing I know how to use Linux (command line even) and how to get around certain technical obstacles...if need be.
At the end of July, it seemed like everything collapsed at once and the unvaccinated were going to be blamed for the failure of the shots. In fact it was a months-long collapse. Now that propping the zero Covid narrative up with boosters is dead, restrictions on the double/triple-injected can go away and it's back to pure, irrational demagoguery on the unvaxxed. Stupid and terrifying in equal measure.
Which would suggest the timeline and outcomes will be different between Europe and the US, and from state to state here - and many states will probably be insulated altogether. It's hard to say, since the media might be on board with "look let's just admit it, we're in a cult that thinks the vaccine is a god" but the citizenry, including the Covid-vaccinated, might be more disillusioned by the last six months of crazy.
If you've seen that latest Rasmussen poll, a large percentage of Democrats are in favor of locking unvaccinated people up in their homes in the least, arresting people like Brian who spread "misinformation," and literally sending unvaccinated people to camps. Registered Democrats are only 30% of the population but about half of all voters lean that way, and a small percentage of Rs and Is also agree with this insanity. This is enough of a critical mass that the media could make it look like the majority agrees with the US going full Nazi.
Or they will declare victory over the disease, because they got so many people vaxxed and masked and socially distanced. Despite mounds of evidence that none of these factors impacted the result, they will still push the narrative that that is what made the difference. One listen to last week's SCOTUS argument will tell you that that is true.
This is what those who seek power beyond their mandate often underestimate; true believers actually believe, and you can never out-crazy a crazy person.
I enjoy seeing repugnant people getting eaten by the alligator they fed for so long.
Helen Lewis's newest Atlantic piece is an even better demonstration of the true believer mindset. She got the virus in December, was grateful for her shots despite having a longer-ish course - and then ran out for a booster as soon as a few weeks went by. This is a 39 year old women. Literal insanity.
Smart people often behave irrationally when terrified. Several generations of failed education action system have indoctrinated much of the country to expect absolute safety and recoil into screaming fetal position when that fails. A culture that cannot defend itself soon will be conquered by one that can. The war has begun.
Maybe somewhere in the back of their minds they realize they jumped at the chance to take an experimental medication, and they have to keep convincing themselves and everyone else it was the right choice.
That's it in a nutshell. They have to remain convinced that they did the "right" thing, if not medically, then at least morally.
Remember, these were the people who cried in ecstasy when they received their shots last Spring. They've been told for a year that the need for continuous shots is not because the mRNA technology doesn't work as advertised, but because of selfish people who are transmission vectors because they won't get their shots, regardless of what pre-COVID virology and the hard data from Israel and similar highly-vaccinated populations may reveal.
It is truly insanity. Unfortunately, the number of people who can see through this is becoming smaller by simple attrition.
I am a big fan of Freddie's, but I agree with you that his faith in vaccines is far too high.

It always gives me a chuckle when these losers pretend that twitter comments have any legitimacy whatsoever.
Common sense isn't common.
Not sure if you've seen this guy's posts: https://jdee.substack.com/p/report-20-propensity-adjusted-staged
I recognise Simpson's thanks to Crawford, and it would be handy to get a second opinion, but it seems vaxed get no real benefit re: hospitalisation.

Come and try to vaccinate me. Bring 50p soldiers

France under Macron the Moron reminds me why we're so fortunate in the US to live in a democratic republic rather than mob rule "democracy".
Watch the current filibuster rules and election laws. Call your senators ASAP

Hi there. I'm the head of the committee for
Vote 1 for Mowrey as editor at The Atlantic.
Hilarity guaranteed to ensue.

This is the first piece you've written in a while that had a sort of clarity...
Satire is risky because some will take you seriously and literally...
But whatever works...
The Atlantic is a piece of garbage, apparently. As is the NY times, lest we forget Judith Miller...
They count upon our lack of memory...
But the lamestream mainstream is gonna be battling for biggest liar award...
You can write the twenty biggest lies since 2020, it would be nice to read your thoughts on that
I suppose the clarity was a result of the satire; I was parroting rhetoric, which I do not engage in.

Those who refer to themselves as purebloods may take this seriously. I myself wouldn't mind segregating from the insane germaphobic majority.
Not possible...

Our best hope is for sars2 to burn out quickly. Seems likely. If not, escalation will be dramatic.

They could declare victory and grant amnesty to the non-vaxxed. Then we can all resume living until the next crisis.
